Soma Facte About the Art of" Manipulat

A barber says that one of the few
kinds of woman's work which is not
overcrowded, and at which competent
girls can always earn good wages, is
that which includes the working; cut
ting and general management of the
human hair. The hair trade is dull
liow7"Xfter the holidays people will
have more time to attend to their hair.
The average pay of female hairdressers
is $8 a week. Sometimes it reaches as
high as $18 per week, and sometimes
goes down to $-3. A girl who under
stands the business thoroughly can
command $18 a week anywhere. One
hairdresser in this city used to employ
140 girls, and paid out $700 weekly in
wages.

and which we decidedly answer in
affirmative, and to remove any lingoi
ing doubts on the subject a few wont
off urther explanation may not be in
appropriate,
ltis an act of discourtesy not to an
swer an invitation, whether it is to b
accepted or declined, for if invitation
remain unanswered, the usual conch:
sion is that absence from home is th"
reason for this; and when Mrs. Brow-
asks Mrs. Smkh if their mutual friend
Lady Robinson, is expected, the answe;
naturally is, "I am afraid not. I aske
her to come, but I think she must b.
away, as 1 have not Heard trom nor.
Perhaps Lady Robinson subsequently
arrives, and feels from the remarks of
her hostess, by whom she was evidently
not expected, that some apology is due.
and then follows: 'I ought to have
wriUen to you, but I was rather uncer
tain about our movements. I did not
quite know what Sir John wished
me to do to-day," etc. This
s precssely the reasort why answers
are frequently not sent to invitations
to afternoon at-homes. People are in
clined to think that among so many
the absence of any particular individ
ual is of little importance, that other
engagements might stand in the way
and render the going to the at-home

themselves rather than the friends who
have invited them. At-homes are so
numerous that invitations to them are
apt to be disregarded in a measure, but
if everyone took this line a hostess
might arrange for giving tea to fifty
guests, and perhaps only ten would
put in an appearance, whereas, if sne
received refusals, she conld either in
vite others, or make arrangements on
a smaller scale. It is polite and eon
siderate, when acceptance is doubtful
to state the fatt, and thon a host could
have a list of doubtful, as well as cer
tainties, to refer to. Jt is every thing

resrulate her list aceordvnjrlv. To
render an at-home a sucaess, the right
jieople should be forked to meet eai-h

it would be pleasant to make; other
wise people would eonsuler it a tnste
affair, when forced to admit "that there
vas hardly any one there they knew
to speak to,' and several present that
'they did not care to know or to know

When a lady has a large acquaint
ing, and gives a series of at-homes, if
he wishes to make them pleasant to

.iiid in view, bearing in mind the preju-
lices and partialities of her friends;

MOTHER OF HEROES.
A KoM Womaa Who Governed u Well a
Loved Her Children.
When the news of Captain Perry'i
victory on Lake Erie reached his moth
er's home In Newport, an old farmei
on the island aaid: "It was Mrs. Perrj
who licked the British." Living in the
same Tillage with the Perrys, he had
observed the excellent discipline main
tained by their mother during the ab
sence of their father on the sea. There
were five boys of them, all governed
with firmness and good sense, tempered
with tender affection, by ono of the best
of mothers, and all five beoame officer
of the United States navy.
Sarah Alexander was the maiden
name of their wise mother. She was an
Irish girl, twelve years of age, living
at Newry in County Down, when she
first saw young Christopher Perry, an
American prisoner or . war quartered
at Newry. He was a boy of fifteen
when the American revolution began,
and enlisted at once in the little Col
onial navy. Captured soon by a British
cruiser, he endured for three months
the horrors of a prison-ship in New York
harbor, anchored near the spot where
the great Brooklyn bridge now casts
its broad shadow across the East river.
He escaped with "little besides hi
bones." but was soon afloat again, and
remained in the naval service as long
as the struggling nation had an armed
vessel on the high seas.
It was in 1780 that he was captured
again while cruising in the Irish Sea. and
was carried into New ry. where, being
released on parole, he met th pretty
Irish girl who was destined to be his
wife and the mother of our gallant
Perrvs. Two years later, drawn bv
the light of her eyes, he shipped a
mate on board a Philadelphia vessel
bound for Ireland, where he had the
exquisite joy of receiving her on board
his ship as a passenger, bound on a vis
it to one of her uncles living in Phila
delphia. This was a piece of luck so extraor
dinary that a novelist would hardH
dare to introduce its parallel into a r-
mance. The young sailor improved
the golden chance, and before tht ves
sel reached the American shore the
lovers were engaged. They were mar
ried at Philadelphia in 1784, when Per
ry was twenty-three and his bride was
sixteen. From her have descended many
naval officers, besides the f imoiis Csi
taiu Oliver IL Perry, whose victory 011
Lake Erie is one of the most gallant
and picturesque exploits of naval war
fare. ,
She was a lady of beautiful form and
face, as well as of vigorous health and
great stamina. Herlovely brown eyes,
her rich dark hair, her perfect teeth,
her firm and graceful carriage of body,
are not yet forgotten by the few living
persons who had opportunities of see
ing her. She trained her boys to the
practice of virtue, real virtue, courage
and fidelity, a just regard for the
rights of others, respect for age and
services. She was a warm patriot, and
felt most keenly the insults to the flag
of her adopted country which led to
the war of 1812. Her special merit as
a mother was that she governed as well
as loved her boys. Most mothers are
fond and affectionate enough, and she,
too. was one of the loving mothers;
but she did not permit her fondness to
relax her discipline. She exacted a
prompt and complete obedience to
reasonable commands. She main
tained in her home the same discipline,
just and firm, kind and considerate.
which her noble sons were famous for
in ' the vessels they commanded.

LEANING TOWERS.

of Arcideats.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa, in Italy.
is one of the architecture, wonders o!
the world. It has been made familia
to most readers by pictures and by de
scriptions. If it were the only ex
ample of that kind of building, the
i4an and purpose of its builder would
be much more of a mystery thaa it is
now. The date of the completion of
this tower is given as A 1). 150. It
stands close by the cathedral of Pisa.
which was finished in the early pait
of the twelth century. Its situation,
and the ue it has always served, prove
that this was built for a bell-tower, or
belfrv, camt-ani'e. to the cathedral. It
was then, and is now. the common
practice in Italy to build the bell-tower
apart from the church. This tower is
built entirely of white marble, and is
eight stories high. It leans thirteen
feet eight inches from the perpendicu
lar, in a height of one hundred and
eighty-three feet The question has
often been raised whether this was the
result of accident or design, but there
can be little doubt that it was accident
al, and caused by the settling of the
foundations.
This seems reasonable from the fact
that the upper story does not lean so
much as those below, as if an attempt
were made to remedy the defect in the
progress of building. Another circum
stance which leads to the same conclu
sion is the fact that the largest bell,
which weighs six tons, is hungfarthest

ANIMAL FRIENDSHIPS.
Disinterested Devotion Displayed by Kl
Ihants and Other Creatures.
That the lower animals have their
special friends, or show preferences at
to their companions, no observer can
doubt. In some cases, the friendship
is between two of the same tribe;
again, we find what are generally con
sidered the most antagonistic forms
united in bonds of good-fellowship,
and we see acts of devotion and self
sacrifice that are almost identical with
those that characterize the friendship
of human beings. It is needless to
say that the impulses are much the
same in all; some professing an in
terest that is actuated entirely by
greed, or for personal ends; w hile in
others it is unselfish.
Any one who has visited the herd of
elephants owned by Mr. Barnum must
have noticed the larss dog that stood
by the side of one of the huge
pachyderms. To the visitor this
might have seemed accidental; but
the dog was always at its post by this
particular animal. If the dog wan
dered off, the elephant showed its dis
tress immediately by attempting to
follow: straining at the chain confined
to its ponderous feet, or throwing
aloft its trunk and uttering the shrill
whistle indicative of alarm, and only
resinning the monotonous swing of the
head when its companion returned.
The elephant was often observed
caressing tfie dog, and. though the
latter always slept in the straw, soul
times beneath Its hnira frieud, it was
never stepped upon nor crushed.
When the elephant was led out to go
through its task in the ring, the dog
would begin to bark and endeavor to
join the throng of performers; so that
it was perfectly evident that the
friendship was mutual.
In many of the works of old writers
are found instances of such at ach-
ments between man and beast: .jEli:!
records a friendship between a litt
girl, who sold flowers in the streets ol
Antioch. and an elephant whom sh
was in the habit of feeding. One ol
the elephants in the Barnum herd ex
hibited great interest in a little daugh
ter of one of the attendants, holding
her upon its trunk, and in many wayi
showing its affect'.on.
In Ir.dia the elephant are so trusted
that they are sometimes employed a
nurses, and have been seen tending
their charges, lifting them gently back
when thev were disposed to stray
awav. The natives state that these
great animals have been known to die
of a broken heart when deprived of s
certain keeper, and Lieutenant Shipj
an tngnsli otlicer 01 extensive experi
ence in the tast. gives a minute ac
count of an elephant that died in what
was considered a fit of remorse aftei
having killed its keeper.
While attachment between animal
is everywhere to be seen, it is not often
that we witness such acts of disinter
ested devotion as we espect anion"

Much has been written and said about how

those functional derangements to which women
are subject. In nine cases out of ten the irri

Some Interesting- Incidents of Life la th
Composing; Room.
Just as much of tbe humorous char-.
meter as has ever been gathered to
gether and published bj fnnnj-men"
graduates from composing-rooms has
beeu kept from the columns of news
papers, because after the laugh the
jokes created they have been almost
forgotten. But a few of the decidedly
rich things that hare been "got off in
omposing-rooms by the men who have
reputations in their sphere as workmen
are well worth recordinir.
While a well-known foreman of the
New York -Posi composing-room wield
ed authority there some twenty years
ago he now having a post at a for
eign station under the Government he
was accredited with running the office
with a shorter allowance of type than
any other man as a foreman would have
thought possible, or would havo had
the temerity to do. He was constantly
besieged for "sorts." aud his policy
was the occasion of much vituperation
piled upon his head when he was not
present. Ou one day a "sub" in the
office was seen, toward the end of com
position hours, crawling about the floor
and pit-king np type, lie was asked by
the joker pf the room:
"What are you doing. Jack?"
"I'm trying to get type enough to
finish this 'take; that's what I'm do
ing," said he. in rather a disgusted
tone. '
"Well, what sorts do you wantP
What are you short of?"
"I want some h's."
"Go over there"under No. 19s frame.
He's an Englishman. Hedrops theui,"
was the comforting rep'y.
This same foreman was somewhat
particular as to the care displayed in
setting t3'pe, and was very much
perplexed at any time if a bad divis
ion was made, an offense in any of
fice as a matter of fact. A "comp
new to the office had on his first day's
work divided the word tongue, doing
it thus ton-gue. The proof on which
it occurred came under the "old
man's" eye, and as the "slug" gave
the perpetrator away, he went for him
thus: .
"What have you got in your mouth?"
thinking to gain a point on the
"comp. by his answering and pro
nouncing the offending word correctly.
"Ileh?"
"What have you in your mouth,
sir?"
"Terbacky, sor," was the paralysing
answer, and the foreman, although
"knocked out." retired to a corner to
himself to indulge in the general laugh
that ensued.
A well-known foreman of a large
New York newspaper composing-room
although austere inside the office
and favoring nobody, and a decidedlv
good fellow outside was very fond of
a quiet joke, which usually partook of
a rather practical nature. Some years
aijo a "chapel" meeting was held on
the question of having1 too many com
positors on the paper, and a committee
rf six as appointed to wait upon the
foreman and try to get him to consent
to reduce the force. A gentleman who
is still known among New York print
ers was chnen chairman of the com
mittee and Sfnikesman, and he and his
associates waited upon the "old man"
iind stated the case, saying that if the
force were reduced those remaining
could make u decent living, when the
following colloquy took place:
'How many too many men do you
think are on the paper?"
'We have considered the matter and
Ihink six is about the number."
The foreman glanced with a twinkle
in his eye from one end of the commit
tee line to the other, and said with a
wave of the hand across: "Well, yon
six can go;" and they were discharged.
