I'here was no suggestion of hair dye, “Thu reason I aay ao is, Ih ciium- if you ■IW careful in live years you will have one 0t the finest hi ads of gray hair a man would wish, and I think nothing is finer than a thick growth of gray hair, it is not the sign of weakness that many think. Rome of the healthiest men in the city grew gray young. You mustn't cut it too often, though.” “Why notl” “Because that will make you bald. It i* often wondered why men grow bald and women do not. Some claim it i* be cause the men keep their huts on con atantly and sooverhiat their heads, while women wear light hats This is incor rect. Men keep their huts on very little more than women. The trouble is the men generally have their hair cut con stantly and short, It's just like keeping a lawn mower going frequently over the grass The roots burn themselves out and the plant dies. Hair is nothing more than a plant so fur as that is concerned. “1 beg your pardon, does that hurt you /” and the burlier dmtcp'U«ly removed a munlx r of halt' wfileli Lui ggtlett be ; t«i< u the customer's collar and his neck. > "Ito you know that those little hairs might obtain growth there if you left th-"i abow'f They would.

This wouldn't be the case with one’s own hair, of course." “I giiC" you didn’t get nil that hair out,” »aid the customer. “There seems to Is- - nnr crawling around there yet.” ‘You're right about the crawling. Hairs are covered with scales fnevel one way They’re like flat, round, or three ■orm red Illi-. and the teeth fasten them •elves in the skin so that tin; can almost crawl. 1 cun easily tell which end of this hair tin ' risit is on," said the barber as he rubied a hail between his thumb and forefinger. and it lx c-an to move out of his hand. "That is how hair* get tan gbsl. These teeth fasten in each other. The people who pull nt them only hurt themselves and tighten the grip worse. If they rubbed the tain-led spots between | tln-ir finger* they'd loosen it without hurt." t ‘‘You think women are wise in not cut ting their hair?" asked the reporter. "No. 1 don’t. Tiny should hive their hair trimmed <x - asionally, lawausc that would aid its growth When hair (fro** to a certain length it splits, and that weakens it.

A THI E HTOItY. Hour thing u little liki u romance hap pened not long ago in the office of Hus wdl Sage the millionaire. Yearn ago 1 when Mi. Sage lived in Troy and repre sented that district in Congreiw, liefore he knew mm h of Wall street, and befon lie wax nob d for his money, ho had in his employ n num with whom he had been a whoo! fellow and for whom he entertained feelings of warm friendship Hut temptation fell in the clerk’s way, and he was not morally strong enough to resist. The ambition to become rich sud denly overcame him and stifling honesty’s instincts, he turned thief. His crime wa not detected till, goaded by his shame, [ he himself made a clean breast of the ! w hole stoic, mid pleading for compassion | upon his wife and child, gave himself wholly upto Mr. Sage. .Several thousand dollars had bemi embezzled and every |x nnv of it was gone, frittered away in short sighted spcciilnt ions. The mercy he asked in the mime of w ife ami child was given. Hussell Sage was never called a hard mini in those days, and the innocent woman in danger of suffering through this ain had been one of his childhoial’s play mutes; thus for the sake of the inma ent, the thief was forgiven mid his wrongdoing never exposed. He promised much in the way of npu ration; he would pay buck to the very last cent, he said, the money that had been stolen. But his pledges never bore sub stnntiul fruit. He did seem to struggle hard for a time to regain lost footing, but endeavor brought no satisfactory re sult, and within ix year thd appetite for strong drink had laid a heavy hold upon him, and from bad to worse he went headlong till the end was a pauper’s grave. Mr. Sage and some others pro vidcd awhile for the support of the widow’ . and orphan left behind, but friendly as si'tanee was not long of consequence to I the broken hearted woman. A fever, I whose fires w. n kindled by shame- and sorrow crackling in her proud soul, did its work quickly. The husband had not been dead a month ere a grave was need ed for her also. And a c hild, the son of a dishonest father, a waif without a rela tive in the world, was left behind left w ith ii bunion other than its ow n support to bear, charged with n duty pointed out by dying mother, the duty ahead of all other things of repairing the w long of his erring father. And the child's word was given as he wept in his boyish fashion alone with the brave woman who for another’s siu wasoveivome and sacrificed. ’Till-lad. scarce in Ids teens, gave his wiord solemly. One thrii e his age could not have n nlizvd more fully than he seemed to do the grave words of the mother as she told the tale of his father’s wavering, his peculation*, and their se quel in his’downfnll, and when she con jured the boy to be.ir always fonnost in his purposes the aim to make goixl the bad roeord ofthc past, his "I will” had the ring and the truest fervor of manli ties* in it. This was many’ years ago. Russell Sai;< Mxni lost sight of th, stripling. A farmer near Troy gave him a home for n time, but in a year or two he drifted away. What became of him thereafter nobody ever could say. He himself mud the mystery plain the other day. John ni< McCann, Mr. Sage's private secretary, was holding his regular matinee in an 1 outer otlii e with a throng of put and call brokers, when a strange: intmded. ask ing to la 'lb 'ih into Mr Saul ’s private office. The put and call army leenal; S-cretary McCann explained that Mr. Sage was busy, but there was an earn, -t --ness in the caller's manner that induced special consideration, and as he was turn ing away the secretary volunteered to take in his card if it would lx* a favor. The visitor wrote a name upon a bit of IKqxT. Evidently Mr. Sage did not nx'oguire the name as that of anybody in w hom he had the slightest interest, and Mr. McCann was obliged to explain that Mr. Sage had too much business on hand to permit interruption. At 8 o'clock the millionaire buttoned up his overcoat and made ready to go to his Fifth avenue home; but he had not taken more than a st, por -wo in the outside hallway w hen he was brought to a halt. The visitor who hail Ixx n denied admittance during business hours hail waited to interrupt the magnate homeward bound. “I want to see you for a little while," •aid the stranger. ••You have forgotten , my name, I suppose, but you rememlx i ’ John Blank of Troy, who was your ' clerk.” “Y<s. yes!” ejaculated the puzzled •pe< ulator. •■Well,” was the calm remark, “1 am John Blank's non, and I’ve come to pay ■ you his debt.” Russell Sage was late at dinner that i night. Hours went by ns he sat in his office and listened to the -tory of this man who had sought him on an errand -<• out of rhyme with the regular order of things in thia world of ours to-day. It was an entertaining talc that summed up the career of this young man a career at 1 wa, in western mines, ami elwwhcre, : tinged with adventurous experience. I Since he had been old enough to earn a 1 penny he had hoarded it aacredly, he 1 said, to obey his mother’s dying injunc tion to pay back what hb father had taken. Once he hail almost completed the sum required, when bad luck forced | its utter loss, but he had not failed to pluck up courage am w. and cent by I cent, dollar by dollar, he began a new uc ; cumulation, and now he wan come to New York finally to wipe out the “debt," [ principal and interest. For some j years past he had been a railway en < giueer on a Western road. A few months ago a bit of bravery -a mere nothing, so 'he averred won him the gratitude of . passengers on his express train, who, but for the risk he took upon-himself, might nil have lieen killed; their appreciation hail been shown by a well-filled purse of of money, and biter by a handsome watch with an inscription testifying to his bravery ami devotion. He had now come East bringing the contents of that purse, his own savings, and that watch to give them all to Mr. Sage, asking only that the watch should be held for a little while till further.savings shouhi be accumulated to buy it back. The debt was paid now in full. If mothers who are dead can still know of the good that theirchildren do, there was exaltation in one angel's heart that day, a- the two men, soulless millionaire ami fatherless engineer, sat and talked by the window where the early falling shadows veiled quickly the harsh, begrimed stones of old Trinity’s churchyard just beneath. “I have a sweetheart,” said the young er man. ‘‘but till I had paid you what belonged to you I could never think of .marrying.” “Couldn’t you I” said the other, half musingly. “Boy, you had a good mother; for her sake I want to make you a little present.” There was a tremor in the voice of the man whom the world has learned to call hard ; there was a fevor almost boyish in the handclasp that he gave the rougher hand of his visitor; and then with an air that had resolution in it the roll that a little while before had been laid upon his desk he picked up and jammed down deep into the over coat pocket of his old clerk’s son— jammed it so hard that the cheap and well worn materials of that overcoat seemed almost ready to give way into tatters. It does me good to write a story of of this sort of Russell Sage. The very novelty of it is pleasing. His Wall street training has not tended to develop overmuch generosity in his nature; men have never arraigned him as a s|>end thrift; but here once spasmodically at least—he has acted the part of a man with a heart— Xeic Tori' Timm.

RiDAI.TVS IKK’TORS. Etiquette Which May Have Cost a Queen’s Life. How a Russian Rule Was Broken and an Empress Was Saved. T.uey Hooper in one of her recent Paris letti-rs say»: It was a matter of wonder to many ]x-r«ons that Dr. Fauvel, the great French s|*-ciaJist in throat diseasi s, mid not been summoned to attend the King of Spain at the commencement of his malady, especially as Dr. Fauvel had always attended Queen Isabella and her children during their residence in Paris for any troubles of that nature. But such a proceeding was forbidden by the strict rules of Spanish etiquette, which prohibits One of the royal family of Spain from being attended by any physician who is not a Spaniard by birth. At the time of the last illness of the young Queen Mercedes there resided in Madrid a German doctor who was espe cially famed for his treatment of typhoid fever, the disease from which the Queen was suffering. He had recently saved the life of Mrs. J. R. Lowell when she was suffering from a violent attack of that terrible inaiady. A few days before Quoin Mercedes breathed her last her Spanish doctors sent for their German colleaguivand requested him to prescribe for their patient without seeing her. This he positively refused to do, saying that he must examine into the physical condi tion of the Queen before prescribing for her. But that could by no means be permitted. “Then,” he said, “let me merely see her—let me go to the door of her room ami look at her without crossing the threshold.” Even that concession was refused. “Then, gentlemen,” he declared, “I can do nothing. I will not attempt to pre-cribe for a patient that I have not even seen.” He withdrew from the palace, and a few days later the young Queen was dead. But the sacred laws of Spanish regal eti quette had been preserved without in fringement. A similar affair, but with a different denouement, took place a good many years ago in Russia. The late Czarina, the mother of thepresent Emper or of Russia, was shortly after her mar riage attacked with a serious affection of the stomach. Up to that time no physi cian eould’approach the bedside of one of his lady patients of the Imperial fami ly nearer than ten feet. The Empress grew worse and became alarmingly ill. The Emperor Alexander gave orders that a famous physician called Botkin, of whose skill in such cases he had heard, should at once be sent for. Botkin came, and, to the horror of his colleagues, he walked straight Up to the bedside of the Empress and took hold of her wrist to feel her pulse. He was instantly hurried from the room and loudly remonstrated with on the impropriety of his conduct, being told that his imperial patient was to be looked at from a distance and that he must not approach her, much less touch her. Botkin listened in silence to all that the other doctors had to say, but when the report of the consultation was drawn up he refused to sign it. The Emperor, who was exceedingly anxious respecting Botkin’s opinion, sent at once for the report, and on noticing that the name of the new doctor did not appear in it he caused him to be summoned at once to his presence. “Your Majesty,” quoth Botkin, frank ly. "I can not pretend to treat a patient that I am not permitted to examine. The Empress is, 1 learn, in a very critical situ ation. I think I can save her. but to do so I must lx: allowed to go to work in my own way.” The Emperor rose from his chair, took Dr. Botkin by the arm and marched with him into tin- sickroom of the Empress and straight up to her bedside. “There, doctor," he said, "examine your patient, and if any one pretends to interfere with you remember that you are obeying my commands." The course of treatment prescribed by the great physician proved successful. The Empress was saved and that particular rule of imperial etiquette was abrogated forever. A Second-Hand Tombstone. In the village cemetery stands a monu ment of economy which we think has no counterpart in the country. It is a tomb stone. the present owner of which pur chased it of another who had erected a large monument, and of course the sec ond-hand tombstone went cheap. Hav ing made the singular purchase the pres ent owner, who, by the way, is the female head of the family, proceeded to have the inscription altered so that it would ,do the duty she intended for it. As the result of her efforts the inscription now I reads: "In the memory of C ' B—-—, wife of R B . We I an* both here.” The very unimportant part which the husband tills in his family, as indicated in this inscription, is only exceeded in its absurdity by the fact that both of the parties the tombstone informs the reader lie there under the sexi are alive and promise to be so for many years to come. As an economic, or rather a parsimonious, transaction, this deal in a seexmd-haml tombstone stands up head.— Cattotill (A”. K) Mail. THE FAMILY FHYSK’IAM. I Mrful Uinta. A little Sixia water will relieve sick headache caused by indigestion. Powdered rice is said to have a great effect in stopping bleeding from fresh wounds. A good gargle fora sore throat is marie of vinegar and a little red pepix r mixed with water. To keep in good, sound health, one must take a certain amount of exercise. Exercising one part of the body and not another, in about the same degree is i wrong. Win n putting glycerine on chapped ] hands first w ash them thoroughly in soap and w ater, and when not quite dry nib in the glycerine. This process will be found much better than the old one. Dr. Von Galihorn, who had been great ly troubled with insomnia, tells us of the method which he has found effectual for two years in curing it. It consists in bandaging one leg up to the knee with several layers of wet calico, and covering | these with a sheet of waterproof cloth. This procedure dilates the vessels of the leg, and by diminishing the amount of blood in the head induces sleep. The treatment of chilblains is both gen eral and local. The health must be most carefully attended to. Tonics may be 1 freely administered—cod-liver oil, iron j and quinine are all very bcnificial—com bined with a liberal diet. The parts which are the seat of chilblains must be kept thoroughly warm, and the child should also be encouraged to take as i much exercise as possible. The stockings I must be woolen, and the boots or gloves warm and roomy, so as not to compress I the hands or feet. The parts may be fur ! ther stimulated by rubbing, and it is | often advisable to use some mild stimu lating liniment, such as soap liniment, or ammonia liniment. Spirit of any kind, such as brandy or gin, may be employed for rubbing the part. When the chilblains become broken, the parts must be kept at rest, and it may be necessary to apply poultices or warm water dressing for a time until the discharge has ceased. The best dressing for them after this period is any mild stimulating ointment spread upon a soft rag. Resin ointment or oint ment of the oxide of zinc are both very useful. “Brown Bread.’’ An Italian astronomer claims to have discovered that Mars is peopled with in telligent beings.

The. velocity of light has been meas ured and recorded, but the rapidity with which a woman can scatter bad news over a neighborhood is still a matter of guesswork. The fate of a nation has sometimes de pended on the color of a sovereign’s hair, and too much saleratus in the biscuit has more than once been the cause of war. It is said that red cheeks can be pro duced by rubbing the face with ice. It has long been known that red noses could be produced by rubbing the lips with glass. A gun that will shoot nine miles with considerable accuracy is now used in the British navy, but it is still as hard to hit a cat in a neighbor’s back yard with a boot-jack as it was when Jacob was hunting rabbits with a bow and arrow. A scientist has advanced the theory that, taking size as a basis, the molecules of which a block of granite is composed are as far apart as the planets of our solar system, and yet some women can’t under stand how it comes that it always takes a man a good while to find his hat. CAi ago Ledger. Love on Snow Shoes. A novel marriage took place near Sil verton, Col. Miss Millie Conners, of Lake City, and Mr. O»car Olsen of Ani mas Forks, were married on the summit of the divide, at an altitude of over 13,000 feet, the party being on snowshoes. Miss Conners agreed to meet Mr. Olsen on the summit, bringing her friends with her, and Mr. Olsen was to approach the summit with his friends, coming up on the opposite side of the mountain. The bride left Lake City, accompanied by her two brothers, and Olsen left Animas Forks at the same hour, accompanied by the Rev. Father Ley, of Silverton, and a few friends. The only way of scaling the snow covered mountain was on snow shoes and the climbing was fatiguing. The groom and the minister arrived first at the designated meeting point; but they did not have long to wait, for the bride and her brothers were soon observed near ing the spot, trudging along cheerily. Miss Conners seemed less fatigued than any other member of the party. After a short rest. Father Ley performed the wedding ceremony with as much impres siveness as if it had taken place in a church. The minister, the bride, the groom and the witnesses of the marriage grouped themselves together as close as the Canadian snowshoes would permit. Colorado Beaton.

The iron smelter can gaze long and steadily into the heart of the glowing furnace, and see clearly the various changes the iron is passing through; but, if he turns his eyes away from the fur nace, it is some time before he can dis cern objects that are near him clearly, though they be revealed by the light of the noonday sun. The glare of the fur nace has dazzled his sight; for the mo meat he cannot see ordinary object!. Scientists gaze upon the splendors of na ture untill their dazzled sightfails to see the light of the glory of God as it shines in the face of Jesus Christ. “But and if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in them that are perishing; in whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, wbn is the image of God, should not draw upon them.” Good, bright, and really noble lives, the genuine fruit of Chris tianity, are facts as patent as any facts of science, and they are discerned by all clear, healthy and unbiased minds; they are as truly the fruits of the Christian life in their estimation as that the blos som is the product of the root of the plant that bears it; and yet, because the Christian life has a method peculiar to its own nature of appealing to the mind, and is incapable of being tested by the processes of the laboratory, it is rejected by many as unworthy of their acceptance. They make light of it.— D. Rliy» JenJri 'o The Ideal Sabbath. The ideal Sabbath is the Sabbath at home when the head of the household farmer or mechanic, merchant or lawyer, capitalist or operative—enjoys his week ly rest among those for whom his six days of labor have been spent. Whether the Sabbatic institution was or was not created by the fourth commandment, there seems to be in those words, “Thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-ser vant,” a glimpse of the restful enjoy ment which the day of rest, in the primi tive conception of it, would bring to the families that keep it. The day of rest, being rest and not revelry or dissipation, and being there fore a day of home enjoyments, bring* with it opportunity for sober thought and conference. A Sabbath-keeping people will become a thoughtful people, and such thoughtfulness is manliness. All men, and especially the busy million- ia an advanced civilization like our own, need for the mind’s sake, not less than for the sake of wearii <1 nerves and mus cles, the seveuth-day intermission of their ordinary work. A true Sabbath is something far more restful than a day of noisy jollity. In its calm air the mind rests by thought, not thoughtlessness— by quiet musing, by conscious or uncon scious retrospection; perhaps by consid eration of what might have been, pet haps by thinking of what may yet be, perhaps by aspiration and resolve toward something in the future that shall bebet ter than what has been in the past. Th* home in which Sunday is a day of rest and home enjoyment is hallowed by the Sabbaths which it hallows. In the Sab bath-keeping village life is less frivolous, and at the same time industry is mor* productive, for the weekly rest. A Sabbath-keeping nation is greater to peace and in war for the character wl. 1 u its tranquil and thoughtful Sabbath* have impressed upon it.— Rec.
