888.~TWELVE PAGES “IIOW HE KEPT HIS ITAIR DOWN,” A correspondent writes at length giving the gist of & humorous incident which in its application, shows how a thing may be di- verted from its true purpose, and again by its proper use proves itself to he one of those things which once used performs its office in @ permanent way. He say: Normistows, Pa., May 24, 1887—Gentle- men—A fellow-clerk, with uncontrollable hair, seeing me years 'ngo use some oil, sup- osed it wasa to preparation, and anxious obtain anything that would keep the hair parted and make it lay down y to mmvl found him rubbing it into his scalp, and asked : “,"." are you ing your hair- " was the reply.

But then you will labor uhder some disadvantages, being a girl. When you are writing up a country fair, for instance, you can’t smoke in the eyes of the good old lady who pecps over your ~)|uul(h-|‘ to see what you ure saying about her canned pears and home-made bread. And you cun’t very well prod a class superintend- entin the ribs with a pencil and call him Say. And you can’t sit on the par- apet of the grand stand and let your feet hang during the races. And billiards aud drink beer.

Ingenious faise thetie occupations and states are declared to be common among unmarried belles who are seeking hus- bands. In extreme cases of positive wicked deceit, girls are known to pro- cure from professional artists half-fin- ished paintings, which the) lhhpluy as their own work, and which Hu-v dabble at occasionally in order to keep up ap- pearances. The writer knows a fair pretender to poetic talent who got a newspaper man to write for her o poem of abont twenty verses. Then she cop- ied the first two or three on a sheet of paper, and left it lying on a table in her boudoir. When a female chum came in for an unceremonious call,the hostess would seem umhm'd and finally con- fess t ber hand a lit- tle at composition. - The device was re- peated for a half-dozen of her friends. Then the succeeding verses were copied one after another. day after day, until the poem was, in the course of a week, compieted. The observers imagined that they had witne its evolution and they spread the report that their friend was indeed a poetess. American Wom Voices. St. Louis Republican: Considerable discussion has been caused by a remark of a young diplomat l)ulun;.'mg to the English fisheries commission. He said that he was much struck with the facial und physical loveliness of American women, but that his sense of the har- monious was ja ¢ spoke. “Englishwomen’s intonation is musical, low, sympathetic, while that of the typical daughter of America is high, somewhat harsh, and not graceful.” He added that in repose the American woman is more attractive than her English sister: but that the latter is greeable in conversation, oughout the debate which this r has started ther no denial of ertion that American women’s voices are often disagreeable and that English women’s intonation is more melodeous. But there is no proper effort to get at the cause of the differ- ence. There isan error in admitting that the difference fs due to higher pitth in _ this country than in England. Any one who has heard Englishwomen speaking with to- tal self-unconsciousness in their own homes knows that they run to quite as high a note as women of any other country; and that, in proportion as the spirit is amiable, the voice rises as nat- urally in the gamut a ter ascends when th the mercury.

Kansas City Times: A meeting of the Kansas City Mining exchange was held at 818 Delaware street yesterday after- noon, with a good attendance of local capitalists and a number of western mine owners, among whom wus Mrs. Fanny Kerr, of this city. Mrs. Kerr, said she did not consider herself much of a miner, but that she had paid considerable attention to that industry for several yeurs. I purchased my ‘property known as the Sylph mine, seve ago, with little t mysolf. I had owned however, when I wus offered double what T gave for it. This set me to thinking, and [ came to the conclusion that if there was money in it for other J;..\ph- there was money in it for me, Mhere were two other ladies interested in the property, but they weakened and 1 had so much faith in it that I bought them out. 1 determined to form a stock company of which I did with much lubor. There are now fifty stock- holders and Tam glad to say that the mine isa ving investment and that we are making mone, (& lmmcr knew eet entuned,’ lhu ita short time, "I organized the Sylph Mining com- )\ iy Bout year u;,u‘ said Mrs, Kerr "to u Fimes reporter, “The property is ‘engine located on Battle mountain, near Red Cliff, Col., oo the line of the Denver and Rio Grande road. . The company was formed in St. Louis, but was or- ganized under the laws of Illinois, be- cause they arc more favorable to corpor- sations of this character than the laws of Missourt, A majority of the stock- holders, all of whom are wogien, reside in St. Louis, although stock 1sowned all over the country and two of the direc- tors live in here is one lady in Kansas City, 1d of mine, who owns 200 shares. We have a enpi- tal stock of #200,000 fully paid up. I have been very carcful in the mapago- ment of the property and am glad it has turned out so well, DoI want to sell stock? Oh, no; there is not a share of Sylph stock on the market, and, as far as [ am concerned, [ vmuhl not sell mine atany price. I employed only the best and instead of sinking o shaft we tunnelled into the mountain, the mouth of the mine Heing directly over the Rio Grande tracks, which makes it very convenient _and inexpensive to handle the ore. We have worked 600. feet, and have the mine well supplied with cars and tracks and everything necessary to a successful and economic handlidg of the ore has been supplied. The last letter from our superintendent was very encouraging, and states that the ore house is full of ore and that the miners have struck a formation. We have already run through four pockets, the ore some of which assayed $1,000 a ton. The property is near the Iron Moss mine, for $4,000,000. Every foot of work done has proved itself better than the previous one. also own the Pocahontas mine, is undeveloped, but I think I shall orgunize a stock company, provid- ing the Sylph continues a puy tur I 'have talked to & number of Kansas City women about 1t, but they do not seem to understand the subject as well as do the ladies of St. Lou helieve I would rath, ||.I||suu, busine with men than women. **Do you think mining a good field for women of small means?” It certainl a good field. Women own stock ranches and do other things ve ccessfully and I do not see why y cannot acquire a knowledge of mities as well as they do a knowledge of anything elsc. There is a woman in Gunnison who lives at her mine and boards her men, but she has a superin- tendent who manages for her. There are a number of ladies in Denver who know something of mining, but T guess I am the only lady munager in the country.’ A New Lllllnn(l Girl in the South. New York Warld:, There has been so much said about southern women succeeding in the north that it is refreshing, as a change, to hear of a northern woman succeeding in the south. TItis n ssary to say that on a sugar plantation some one is always em- ployed at grinding scason to weigh the cane. This is done by driving the wagon with its load upon the platform of the scales, registering its weight,and when the wagon comes back empty weighing it a second time, deducting one weight from the other and credit- ing the remainder to the man who is selling the cane to the owner of the sugar house. This requires much work out of doors in bad weather, a quick eye, an accurate knowledge of accounts and a good memory. It is usually the work of an intelligent young man,who is paid 430 a month and his board. Fortune took a New England girl up into what is known as the coast country of the sugar region in Louisiana. She was penniless and nsked for work. This situation was offered her, more in jest than earnest, for no woman had ever before filled such o place. The plucky New Englander accepted it on the spot, provided herself with stout boots and a watarproof and went to work without hesitation. She gave perfect satisfuc- tion to her employers, grew to like the work herself, and has proved there is yet another line of effort open to those of her sex looking for employment. She Was Critical or Nothing. Nashville American- It is said that a Nashville lady sent an easy-chair back to the factory three times to_have the seat made “‘a_little softer,” then *a little ' and so on.

Fhe figure of At enth street toba an object of g day by reason of HtliSaan v i the fleshy-appearing statue was the un- conscious hero. In the general seram- ble for elevated positions from which to view the industrial parade, a woman, evidently in from the gountry, and bound to see all the sights, obtained a footing on Atlas pedestal, and began frantically hugging his colossal frame in her endeavors to retain the place, The crowd began to guy and cheer, and awarded much 1nore attention to this edifying tableau than to the exhibits in the parade. But the woman clung to her colossal supporter, with arm about his waist in utter disregard of all the slurs and inuendoes that her novel attitude drew upon her. Indeed, her serenity was not upparently disturbed when a gamin yelled out: “‘Go it, old gal, and git in your work on him; it’s leap year, know.” She saw the procéssion, she did. l‘hollmrnplllu Fads, Washington Letter: The society belles dread the camera, but as soon as the rosebuds have made their debut they rush off and have their photos taken in every conceivable pose and styl They want themselves taken in all varieties of costumes, and the latest fad is the placing of a white fan at the back of the head, which throws its out- lines more to the front. This isa city v, and our belles like the article here is no woman so homely that she has not some good **point,” and photographers tell me that their succes lies in being able detect this, If a woman has a homely face she has ver likely a pretty neck and handsome shoulders, and, indeed some photo- zraphs are taken here which show only the back. Some girls get themselve taken with fans in front of their face: and I'saw a picture of one of the home- liest of our dudes which consisted of his legs and dainty feet, running only as high as his knees. A Servant G Trust. “T sce a great deal in the newspapers lately ab trusts, whisky tru sugar trusts, ete.” said a Brook- lynite to a reporter yesterday morning, “but I know of a servant girl trustin operation in Brooklyn that throws all other trusts in the shade. I reside in a flat house and on the top floor live two small families, neither of wnom are wealthy, yet they aspire to be aristo- cratic and keep servants.

They formed a joint servant girl stock company, as it were, each paying half of the girl's wages, and now Ann has two mistresses and fluctuates between the two establish- lishments.
