hvslericaliy, as siic gazed on tbo falls
with one eve, and furtively throw the
other around on the other women to
sec if they were any better dressed than
she was. “Isn’t this wonderful? Say,
my dear, shouldn’t you think that little
Island would bo afraid over there alone
by itself?’’
“It’s safer there than it would bo
ashore,” muttered Mr. Spoopcndykc,
dropping a highly wrought bead bag in
his effort to jam a pair of moccasins,
that weren’t mates, into his pockot.
“If that island is any way hard up and
half smart, it’ll stay whore it is, and
hold on to what it’s got! I say, what’ro
von going to do with these shoes if you
over get ’em home?” ho continued, as
tho larger one hitched up and dropped
to tho ground.
"Don’t lose it!” exclaimed Mrs.
Spoopcndykc, anxiously. "I am going
to hang them up in tho parlor.”
“If tho man who sold them was any
way reasonable in his charges, I’d like
to hire him to get into ’em about tho
time tho hanging comes off!” growled
Mr. Spoopcndykc. “Look here! Have
you any fixed idea of tho distance you
expect mo to lug this old shinney stick?
Got any accurate notion of the labor
involved in hauling the dod gasted
thirtg aioonu?'”'
“That’s an Indian war club,” protest
ed Mrs. Spoopcndykc. “I want that,
and you mustn’t lose it for anything.”
“From my exj^ricncc around hero I
don’t s’pose I could lose it for noth
ing!” grunted Mr. Spoopcndykc. “But
what Fwant to know,” ho continued,
settling one end of the club in his hip
pocket, and trying to conceal the other
under his coat. “What I want to know
is, when tho measly tiling is calculated
t6 go on a peace footing. Here! In
what portion of my habiliments am I
expected to secrete this cemetery?
Whore docs this rapidly-growiug-in-

“Oh, my! It’s a wonc-basket!” chir
ruped Mrs. Spoopcndykc. “You must
carry that in your baud, or you’ll break
it! Say, dear,”and sho took his arm
aud^rept more closely to him. “Don’t
you enjoy it? Isn’t that awful fall of
terrible water just too lovely? What
makes it fall down like that?”
“I don’t know,” retorted Mr. Spoop-
ondyko, eyeing tho scene with a scowl,
and dropping an arm full of stereoscop

because it can’t run up. If you could

presume it would refer you to tbo
theory of gravitation, and that would
turn you over to tho doctrine of press

money to get home with. Say, do you
really think you’re going to need this
gun boat for anything to which you can
give a definite description?”
“Oh, my little canoe!” cried Mrs.
Spoopcndykc. “I’m going to hang
that on the chandelier with pretty rib
bons.” \>
“That'll provide a good deal of en
tertainment!” snorted Mr. Spoopon-
dyke, hunching tha canoe into nis arm
pit so as to get a bettor grip on tho
keel. “But my judgment is that this
self-acting chunk of aboriginal trans
portation is going to need Bessemer
steel chains to hold it. I can under
stand how a savago could*sail in tho
thing, but what I want now is tho com
bination by which ho stopped it when
ho got ready to—Hold on! Catch hold
of tliat junk, if you calculate to save
it! Shove it under my arm, will ye?
Now, tip up the other end so I can get
a purchase! I don't know, though,”
ruminated Mr. Spoopemtyke, guttcral-
ly, “a man don't want much help to
find a purchase around hero,” and ho
glared about him nnd then stoopod
over to pick up a tomahawk and a
pipe.
“We’ve got lots of nice things to re
mind us of Niagara, haven’t we, dear?”
smiled Mrs. Spoopcndykc, encourag
ingly. “But I want to got a few little
trinkets for tho ladies in tho church.
Only little ones, you know.”
“Yes, 1 know,” grinned Mr. Spoop-
ondyke. “They'll have to bo little, for
I’ve only got tuy cars left to stow in.
Go on ami buy them! Don’t hesitate
on my account! Those dod gasted wo

Whoop! There goes more prehistoric

Now just run ’em through my suspen

“What’s that in yoor mouth, dear?”
inquired Mrs. Spoopcndykc, solicit
ously.
“A flint arrow head,” growled Mr.
4poopendykc, vindictively. “And it’ll

Mrs.
Spoopcndykc, turning,., again to tho

Spoopondykn shdddoringly. •
“lie wouldn’t be nnyjuore of a meas

“That’s my squaw’s dress,” faltered
Mrs. Spoopcndyke, “and I wouldn’t

“I wish the man I bought it of had

The story goes, says tho St Louis

rising in wijph as fie vainly plowed

“Didn’t—didn’t you put it on your
own head?” asked Mrs. Spoopcndyke,
with a misty recollection that ho adorn-;

“Shouldn’t wonder!” grunted Mr.

out further trouble. “I wanted it to
feel at home. Here's tho whirlpool.
Look out how you step. Now get into

“But suppose that rope should

clinging to her husband’s arm with one

other.
“You’d have reached tho bottom all

as tho car came to a stand “Isn’t that

Women frequently suffer from “iT
gradual falling out or thinning of tho
hair between tho ages of 20 and 80.
Tho hair has a dry, withered look, and
tho partings become painfully visible.
Tho young lady who is thus troubled
usually becomes alarmed, and after
trying every “hair restorer" sho sees
advertised, has her head shaved, with
' tho idea that this last heroic measure is
sure to save her from tho baldness sho
j fears. Tho fact is that tho difficulty
Vises from some definite cause, which,
I once ascertained, must bo attacked bo-
I fore tho trouble can bo cured. This
cause may lie in tho condition of tho
| scalp itself, or it may dcpfcnd upon
some disturbed action of some internal
organ. Dyspepsia is a frequent cause
of tho loiui ox hair. TliW blood may bo
out of order, or tho tronhlo may bo re
ferred to debility. These arc tho deep-
seated causes of tho falling out of the
hair, and must bo attended to before a
cure can tako place.
If there is a scurfiness present treat
ment must begin with tepid water and
castilo soap. After two weeks tho fol
lowing solution should be rubbed in
gently with a soft tooth-brush, morning
and evening: Strong dococtioh ol Peru
vian bark, one half pint;' brandy, one
wineglassful; glycerine, one tcaspoon-
ful. Once every other day—not often-
er—the following lotion should bo ap
plied in a similar manner: Castor ou,
one ounce; best French brandy, two
ounces; rosewater, six ounces.
People generally—those who have a
I healthy growth of hair—do not pay
i much attention to the care of tho hair
) and tho scalp. Tho head should bo
; given a thorough washing once a week;
tho scalp cannot bo healthy unless it is
j kept clean. After tho head is washed,
the soap should bo thoroughly removed
I With pure water. Tho best hair-wash
| is: Borax powder, a toaspoonful; soft
water, a quart; oil of lavender, suffl-
■ clout to scent
There is a precept in hair-dressing
which can not be too widely known.
It is this: Wash the scalp, but not the
hair; comb tho hair, but not tho scalp.
Iu curling the hair care should be
taken that it is not wound too tight in
‘Or, since that j eurl-papors or about the curling stick,
keep it, now, and ; as the strain upon tho roots hurts it.
Tho heat of tho curling-tongs destroys
tho life of the hair—which is but a del
icate vegetable, and after a few years
the use of them is sure to propagate
baldness. Tho preparations known as
“permanent curling fluids” contain
acid, which eats and surely destroys
the hair.
Grav*)" i of tho hair simply indicates
a loss ui pigment, and there is no rem
edy kuown to therapeutics which will
restore its color, although it may be
dyed. Foolish women frequently
bleach their hair with a view of becom
ing artificial blondes. Various chemi
cals aro used for that purpose. The
bleached hair generally falls out, and
teaves tho victims of their own vanity
bald before their time.
It is assuredly far worse to have too
much than too little hair. Nothing can
be more destructive to beauty than %
growth of hair where hair ought not to
be. In brunettes there is a liability to
the appearance of a delicate mustache
on the upper lip. After a certain age,
particularly in single women, the chin
and neper lip are apt to be invaded by
a stubble by no means attractive.
“Boarded women” are supposed to
owe their hirsute decoration to an
overexcited condition of tho hair bnlbe.
Oriental ladies have a horror of su
perfluous hair, and the most anciently
known depilatories came from tho east
The secret preparation used in the Asi
atic harems, called “Busma,” has been
found upon analysis to be very injuri
ous. Tnc safest chemical depilatory
known is called sulphydnteof calcium.
Take: Sulphuret of calcium, two parts;

OTHER GIRLS THAN OCRS.
The notion that girls aro too delicate
to bo useful 1# linoitod to a comparative
ly small part of the globe. Through
out Asia, Africa, and In largo portlonp
even of Europe and America, there pre
vails an old belief that they wove born
to labor. In Turkestan, and on tH
Tartar steppes, the Kirghese huRannas
and their daughters, and princesses In
whose veins flow the blood of long lines
of kings, still milk tho ehoep, cows and
goats, and perform the menial offices
of the household, as the Sanscrit maid
ens did six thousand years ago in the
same localities They cook, take care
of the younger children, make gar
ments, cut the skins of tho wild fowl,
with the feathers on, for caps, spin cot
ton, weave cloth, and tan leather by
means of sour milk. In this delectable
region the mother wears rich attire,
while tho daughter goes in bumbler
woods, like Cinderella. If there la a
f ilano, tho mothor plays on it in the
ront room of the tent, while thodaugb-
toiwbrcws the koumiss, stews tho mat-
ton, and broils tho carnal chopa in the
back kitchen. This is the benighted
condition of a patriarchal people who
adhere to a nearly obsolete theory oi
filial duty. Similar ideas prevail
throughout India. China, and among
the native tribes of Siberia, who have
been driven northward by aggressive
neighbors. Tbo Tnngnsian gin gath
ers the snow, melts it, makes tho tea
and tho fish sonp, sews, and, being
skillful in archcry, helps to keep the
larder supplied with game. Tho Ya-
knt and Samovede maidens, and all
who dwell along tho Arctic ocean, help
in summer to lay up winter supplies,
and in winter to perform all domestic
duties. Tho Abyssinian girl grinds
corn in tho simple mills in use m that
country. The Kaffir girl weaves bas
kets and draws water. The girls in the
other parts of the dark continent pul
verize tho grain, weave mats, make
earthen vessels, and are the hatters oi
their tribe. The theories of the tribes
and nations of Asia and Africa art
shared by tho Indians of North and
South America, who compel tho young
girls to loam the duties and hardships
of life at an early age.
The Digger Indians were, until a few
years ago, considered the most ignor
ant amf least Intelligent human beings
on the Pacific coast. Those who live
on Rancho Chico have now been edu
cated in civilized ways. They have
learned to road and write almost as
well as white people, and some of them
have even become musicians. They re
cently gave an entertainment in San
Francisco, under the care of their In
structors. Sunday-school hymasi na
