Into the World Again, As we came out of the church, where a preacher was beginning a sermon in a cor- ner, we passed the same praying groups. Their devotien had no interruption from the sermon. Out in the free air by the gate there sits a blind man, with a conspicuous label on Pis stor:ach telling when and how he met with his misfortune. He is rigged up in a religious fashion, and sits resignediy in the shade, bare-headed, with a cloak across his knees, taking it easy. We walk- ed down the narrow winding street leading down the hill; and as we walked we heard him calling after us, to say the artist had ed some of his material for sketching. s, good blind man!"—with a ten- thrown in his hat. , foreigner walked down the narrow winding street leading down the hill through the ent village of Montmartre, now, like so ny others, but a part of Paris.

After eating several “snowballs,” a sum- mer delicacy made of finely chopped ico and some flavoring syrup, four-year-old Frank Watson died suddenly yesterday at his home. For some weeks past the child ‘had been developing an appetite for these confections, and bought them with ‘every penny he could get. In the last Gay or two he had eaten quite a number of them, and yesterday morning he was seized with severe pains of stomach, and the phy- sician called in’ was unable to save him. ‘The coroner will have to decide whether death resulted from eating too much ice, which might have caused inflammation of the stomach, or from some sive the wearer a harassed and wild ap- | school by her aptaces and rapid learaiug pearance; but when all the world wears | For some time Louise experienced au invlimposition tight, smooth hair, the full, soft appear- e would not ake known to her parewin, fe ance looks untidy and fs bad style. we — main fre ; oul.

For grand occasions the hair is left loose, and there is a bow en top of the head to tie back the side locks. Tiny children have the old-fashioned style of curls, and a braid on either side of the forehead tied with baby ribbon, while boys who have curly hair wear one curl just at the top of the head tied with a ribbon bow. It is considered best for the hair of both boys and girls to have it cut every month, and girls as old as ten years of age are seen with closely cropped locks brushed smooth and glossy. It is now fashionable to have the hair well kept and thoroughly brushed. The giossy appearance that only well-kept hair preserves is eagerly sought for, and is fast doing away with the peroxide dye, which it is almost impossible to apply so that it does not show ii is not the natura! color. To dye one's hair is vulgar, and unwhole some as well. “I don’t think they would answer.

From the Knoxville (Tenn.) Tribune, I have heard of many eases of fortitude, but that of “Duke” Joyner excels them all. Charles J. Joyner, during his lifetime, lived near the head of Crooked Fork -vailey, in Morgan county. He was a man of power- ful physical development, brave, fearless and of wonderful endurance. He fought on the Union side during the civil strife, and then after the contention was over he married and went to farming.
