THE DEACON'S FAILI.Vd.
Father D. was a pious old deacon in an
"Ohio church. Ho was relied on by his pastor
'As a right hand man. Ho was anxious to do
."his duty,, and If called on to "testify" lit
'meeting had it not in eonscionco to refuse.
"Bat, olusl ioor Deacon D., how ho should
mtwpjio never knew. IIo tried to speak hia
-cloning words, but every sentence, in spito of
him, would eloso Itself with un "and" or with
"but," This pledged him to another sen
"tencc, which also fatally closed with another
'and." "Dear brother," I hear him patiently
say, "1 mil nn unworthy disciple, and havo
avthlng to say that Is worthy of your con
fddunttion but. 15ut I know that I ought
always to bo ready to testify of tho Lord's

ABOUT CUTTING HAIR.
AVIint Say tlin Ilarbers Yln Tiillf of the :
Cam of tlio lliilr nn Men's Iffuils. ,
"YoitW better havo j'our hair trimmed,
sir." I
So raid tho barber in tho shop nt'
Church und Cortlandt Hlrects.
"Why?" ho VB3 asked. "I had it cut
only n vc"k njxo." j
"Yes, but 1 tfo it is' very thin on top,"
Biiid the harbor, "and I think that itj
fihonld bo cut very frequently in order
to save it."
On tho next afternoon tho barber in
the Park Avenuo hotel was making hid
hist excursion with it razor over tho
samo man'n face. j
"You nro getting bald," eaid he. !
"Now, what a gigantic mystery it is ;
this subject of tho hair. I am bald; you
nro getting bald. Neither of us would
try to Bftvo it thoupand dollars if that
would have kept us n full head of hair,
but neither money nor skill nor wisdom
will savo any mnn a singlo hair of hia
head. For my part, tho only knowledgo ,
1 have, after being in tho barber busi
ness twenty years, is purely negative.
I think that if you don't havo your hair
cut it will not fall out." '
"What? Never havo it cut?" '
"Stop a minute. Did you ever boo a
bald headed woman? You never did.
Well, such a thing ns a bald headed
woman exists, but they
aro very rare.
Now, why aro women practically nover
bald, and why aro men growing bald in
greater numbers every year? ou na
turally reply or you would if you had
thought about it ns much ns 1 that tho
reason lies in tho hats women wear.
Their hats amount to nothing. Tho
average bonnet does not weigh two
ounces. Their hats aro open, nnd there
is more or less ventilation under and
' through them, whereas men's hats aro
heavy boxes that inclose and weigh
down and stifle tho hair."
"I nover thought of that."
. "Well, that amounts to nothing," said
tho barber. "It sounds important, but
whatever wo say in favor of women's
hats is offset by tho fact that they wear
them twico as many hours at a timo as
men wear theirs. Women often put n
hat on in tho morning and don't rcmovo
it till dinner: they wear their bonnets in
church, at tho theatre, during their calls,
everywhere and all tho time. Tho im
portant difference between tho sexes is,
after all, that boys and men have their
hair cut and girls and women don't. A
little girl's hair is nursed after she passes
early childhood.
"Some fathers who aro obliged to
keei) their families in tho hot city insist
that their babies' hair shall bo cut, and
tho mothers yield in tho cases of tho
girls with great reluctance, but after
tho little girls aro ( or fi years old tho
women fight to have their hair uncut
thenceforward, and such is tho rule with
most girls. After thinking it all over
for twenty years I am of tho opinion that
haircutting produces baldness.
"See, continued tho barber, "what
wonderful heads of hair tho Indians
have. How thick it is. How splendid
aro tho braids they wear down their
backs. It is so with nil savages all
havo plenty of hair, and none ever cut
it. Tho white men who live in wild
countiics or on our border exemplify tho
snmo thing. They wear their hair
down on their shoulders, and it is thick
and luxuriant, but it has not been cut
in nil tho time thoy havo lived tho lifo of
tho rudo peoplo around them. My calm
decision is that if you want to escape
baldness you must keep tho scissors
nway from your head. No medicine
will remedy baldness. To find a physio
that will do so is tho surest road to a
giant fortune, and men havo been ex
perimenting for inoro than a century
without Huding a remedy." Now York

"Sir," said a lean and hungry looking
person who hud by somo means passed
all tho obstacles to admission to tho
office of tho manager of onu of tho great
press associations, "I wish to present you
with a confidence."
Tho manager looked nt him curiously.
"I havo the most gigantic scheme,"
went on tho visitor, "that you"
"Nover mind," said tho manager,
"don't bother me."
"But, sir," persisted tho Btranger, "you
mistake mo seriously. This is some
thing that will make your fortune and

"I am already rich beyond tho dream
of avarice," replied the manager, think
ing of his debts.

ened up presently and said, "Well, then,

A corresiKindent asks, la tho story that
Virgil ou his deathbed attempted to
burn the "liueid" a myth, or is it u
fact?
The Btory has been regarded us troth.
ThoMiHneid" was. not his favorite poem,
although it is thu one which constitutes
his claim to tho reiuombranco of ios

It is said that the "Eucid" cost him
eleven years of labor, and that ho in
tended to devote three yearn more to
polishing it aud bringing it nearer to hia
ideal of what an epio poem ought to be.
Before he could give much time to the
latter task, however, he died, and in hia ;

Ono of tho famous eating houses of
tho Atchison road is situated at Wallace,
where the train going south stops late in
the afternoon. As the cars draw up at
tho station the long platform is thronged
with tho people of thocountry, of diverge
races. Rongh miners in flannel and
heavy boots stand watching tho train:
cowboys, bet off by sombreros and spurs,
swagger about the platform, and Spanish-Americans,
with swarthy faces nnd
gleaming black eyes, loungo against the
railings, looking impassively on the
Ecenc. Most picturesque of all there
gathered aro tho descendants of the
tribes akin to tho Toltecs and Aztecs,
thoso migrating people, whoso first home
was in the northwest before they went
south to colonize tho valleys of tho Mex
ican plateau tho Pueblo Indians from
Santo Domingo and Han Filipo,
Thoy aro quaintly clad in their charac
teristic garb of leggins and tunic, with
1 a blanket dress for tho women, andsomo
t times for tho men a gaudy blanket wrap
ped about tho body. Some aro awaiting
tho train on tho station plaftonn, and
others, belated, aro seen running toward
tho cars, bearing on their heads aud
backs tho things they havo to trade.
Thoy exhibit agreat variety of pottery,
in tho shape of vessels of divers sizes,
form and patterns of decoration, and
many earthen idols of infinite ugliness.
They offer for salo pieces of what thu
New Mexican curiosity dealers call
smoky topaz, which in reality is obsidian
or volcanic gkiss, tho material used by
tho ancieni Aztecs for cutting purposes,
from Rwords down to razors.
MANY KATIO'.'AUTIia.
About tho train is a characteristic col
lection of passengers. Tliero aro tour
ists, European ami American commer
cial travelers, young men from tho
east
going to tho pouthwest to try their fort
unes, and perhaps in tho rear cars some
families of emigrants. Representing the
territory are merchants, miners and cat
tlemen of American and Spanish-American
descent, while opposite tho blondo
eastern lady, in her dainty traveling
habit, may sit a dark eyed olive tinted
beauty witli tho blood of Aragon or Cas-:
tilo in her veins, aud perhaps a darker
aud not unbecoming tinge from Indian
ancestry. Traveling theatrical com
panies, armyolllcers and private soldiers
on leave or on duty, and Indian delega
tions going on or returning from a visit
to tho great father at Washington, are
current types in a southwest passeuger
train.
Almost without exception tho passen
gers aro aifablo and disposed to conver
sation. Stiffness and reserve among fel
low passengers by stage or by rail vanish
west of tho hundredth meridian.
There is an excellent dinner, plentiful
and well served, at tho pleasant and i
roomy railroad restaurant, with so much
timo allowed for tho stay that the
traveler, after his ample and leisurely
meal, is able to walk about in this bar
barously brilliant scene and make bar
gains with tho brown and worldly wise
sons and daughters of tho country for
such of their wares as ho fancies. The
Pueblo Indians hasten toward any one
whoso oyo they may catch, hold up their
goods, and address him in a lauguagu
mainly aboriginal, with perhaps a few
Spanish and American words iuter
mingled, but tho only part of tho dis
course really understood on either sido U
tho extemporized sign language.
Thoy ask several prices, expecting tu

Demure, swarthy Pueblo children look
on tho transactions of their elders with

their mothers by carrying the very '

Tho Indian pottery is the ware most ' ticlo. This jHitticoat, which actually sold
purchased by the passengors. It is for tho sum named abovo, is but an ox
quaint of pattern, and in its way much ' aggorated oxample of those now worn
of it is really beautiful. The material by women of wealth and fashion. Chi-
ot which it is made is a wmte or grayish
tmieu clay, which the mon bring to the
women, who are the pottery makers.
The In'dians guard jealously tho secret
of the places whero aro found tho earth
that makes tho choicest kinds. The
hunter, prospector or railroad explorer
coining suddenly upon these natives en
gaged in digging clay for tho purpose is
likoly to ronieniber tho terror and con
sternation which thoy exhibit,
Tho molded pottery is buried in dry
sheep's dung, which ia fired, and thus it
is baked. The material used in making
tho striped designs is a decoction from a
certain green root which the Indians
call wake. It is painted upon the ves
sels, aud in tho baking it turns black.
The best pottery is mndo by the Acoma,

A, good many society peoplo who at
tended the grand ball at the Gait house,
given in honor of the Russian Grand
Duke Alexis, will be interested in the
news from St, Petersburg that that hand
some prince has been disgraced and ex
iled to Siberia. Alexis lias been con
ducting a 'Mlirlation"bo open and shame
less with tho Countess Zenaido do Beau
liarnais. wife of the Duke do Leuchten

oflice of lord high admiral of the fleet
and shorn'of his other honors nnd exiled
besides at least tho dispatch says so,
though it looks incredible. Tho lpvely
countess has been given permission to
leave the empire for an indefinite period.
When Alexis visited this country ho
was thu recipient of a constant round of
social attentions. He was in Louisville
in 1871', 1 Think, nnd the ball given in
his honor was one of the most brilliant
in tho history of tho city. Tho belles of
Kentucky vied with each other in their
efforts to secure tlio favor of this scion
of royalty. Alexis made a good impres
sion while in this country, and seemed to
be very much of a gentleman, even if he
was a descendant of an effete monarchy.
A poor lady living in Henry county went
insane on tho subject of the prince's visit
to Louisville, and imagined herself en
gaged to him. Her friends could nover
up to tho day of her death relievo her of
tlio hallucination that she was tho prom
ised brido of Alexis. She would fre
quently come to Louisville to look for
him aud prcparo for tho wedding. Sho

A Jumlio Anions Chimney.
Tho tall chimneys erected by the liar-,
graves and Globe yarn mills now bid fair
to bo eclipsed by one being erected at tho
Fall River Iron Works company's mill.
The experts on tho heights of chimneys
say that it will bo tho second highest in
this country.
Instead of hoisting tho brick nnd mor
tar on tho outside, as is commonly done,
an elovator is being built to run up the
interior of tho chimney. It is to bo run
by a hoisting engine by means of a wiro
cable. As the work progresses the guides
for tho elevator will be erected inside,
' an th0 overhead work moved upward.
Thero will bo' 1,500.000 bricks used, and
tho total cost will not bo far from 510,000.
The work on tho foundation is com
pleted. It contains 2.000 tons of Fall
River grauite. held together with 700j
barrels of Portland cement. Tho bot"S
tout stone is 8 feet below tido water and
tho top ono is 8 feet above. Tho total
height of
tho chimney abovo tho level
of tho ground will bo 340 feet. Tho
pressure on tho foundation stones will
bo two and a half tons per square foot.
At thu baso tho stack will bo square, but
about CO feet from tho ground the cor
ners will bo sloped away, and the wholo
affair will rise in circular form into tho
air, and in general outline will seem like
a gigantic baseball bat. Away up in the
air the chimney will bo crowned by a
terra cotta cap, each section of which
will bo G feet thick. Other dimensions
aro: Diameter at base. 30 feet; diameter

Keinotin Tor n Divorce.
The Druses sometimes divorce theii
wives for apparently tho most trivial
causes. Thus a mau named Soleiman
Attala bad a wife, Lsbakyeh. The
woman frequently worked for as, and
on several occasions I had to complain
that she talked too much and worked
toolmle. At length I was obliged to
tell Soleiman that, owing to his wife's
ladness, I could employ her no longer.
Shortly afterward I went to England.
On my return after a couple of months'
absence I was surprised to find that
Soleiman had divorced Isbakyeh, and had
already married another woman. On
inquiring from him tho cause of this ho
replied, "Your honor told me that you
wonjd not employ my wifo Kgain, so I
thought I would get rid of her and
marry another woman whom you would
employ." Blackwood's Magazine.

another delinquent, "to subject you to
transportation for a period very consid
