STRAIGHTENING AFRiCAN KINKS Secret '11! .a, New Orleans Woman for Sat- isfying vanity of Colored Beauties. “I abominate claims the Caucasian beauty, and “I hate kinks,” groans the fascinating lady of color. So, forthwith the min femi- nine starts out in search of ways and means to make kinks come and to make kinks go. With glue, papillottes, plaiting and burning the maiden of the straight 1”endeavors to make her head adornment take on graceful waves, while he1 sister of the dusky hue dreams of the day when kinks Will be under control. In times past the lady of color was wont to divide her woolly appendage into many little tufts, which were drawn as straight as possible, and tightly wrapped with cord or shoe string. It 15 true this gave the head a porcupiny appearance during six days of the week, but on Sunday avisible parting and symmetiical topknot re- paid the damsel for her week of suffer- ing to be beautiful. But, nowadays, the “new woman” among the Afro-Americans cannot ap- pear at the lecture, the woman’s club ' , or the soci’ty meetings. with the horny week-day heads of the past. “Necessity is the mother of invention,” fits this case as so many others. A secret has been discovered for not only straightening out the ‘ kinks, but to keep them straightened out for six months at a time. The secret is in the possession of an enterprising colored woman, who makes her home in New Orleans, and who, it is said, does a thriving business in smooth- ing out the knotty tresses of her sis- ters. As she gets five dollars a head, and thereis no lack of trade, this kink specialist has a veritable bonanza. In this one respect, at least, the dark- skinned would-be beauty has the ad- vantage of the pale-faced belle, who aspires to rippling hair. While the former has to undergo hair manipula- tion but once in six months the latter‘s locks have to sui‘r'm daily treatment. A DlSCOU'RTEOUS LAWYER. He Did Not Act Like a Gentleman from 1 Virginia. In Kentucky an unfortunate mer- chant saw bankruptcy confronting him, and to save a p01 tion of his pron- e'rty he invol ed the name of his wife and. the assistance of afriend. The creditms instituted piocecdings to 1 s- eover certain property, and in the course of the moceedings his fxiend, a native of Vll ginia, was put upon the stand. All went well, says the Louis- ville Post, until the witness was sub- jected to arigid cross-examination by a lawyer, himself a native of Virginia. The witness went blundering along at such a rate that his lawyer felt it nec- essary to interfere and tell him that he was not required to answei questions which w ould criminate himself. After the close of the case, which re- sulted disastrously for our accommo- dating friend from Virginia, he ex- pressed indignation at the humiliation to which he had been subjected. “I was never in my life treated with so little courtesy,” he said. “The oppos- ing counsel did not act at all likea gentleman, sir. I expected entirely diiferent treatment, especially as I learned that he was from Virginia, and No. sir, in the old days no Virginia gentle- man, sir, would cause another Virginia gentleman the slightest embarrassment because of so paltry a matter, nor would he seek by set interrogatories to make him contradict himself. N o, sir, _ it is unpardonable, sir, and all for the purpose of increasing the dividends of afew Yankee clients whom he never saw. I am convinced, sir, that your lawyer never came from Virginia at all, sir; he must have come from West Virginia.” TOMB. OF MARY AND LAZARUS. An Interesting Tombstone Discovered in Palestine. Inarecent issue of the Journal of the German Palestine society. Prof. Gelzer, of Jena, discussed an interest- ing tombstone discovered at Cesarea, in Palestine. and which first appear ed in the Revue Biblique, published at J c- rusalem. The inscription reads: “Mon- ument belonging to (or dedicated to) Mary and Lazarus.” The language is Greek, and the inscription dates from the fourth or fifth century. The orig- inal editors, the Dominicans of Jerusa- lem, thought that it was merely a mon- ument of two persons by the names of Mary and Lazarus. Gelzer, however, is of opinion that the Biblical persons of these names were intended, espe- cially also in view of the fact that Mary’s name precedes that of Lazarus. He draws attention to the fact that in the first half of the fifth century the discovery of apostles’ and prophets’ tombs was “a flourishing and mani- festly also a lucrative branch of indus- try.” At that period it was claimed that the bodies of Joseph, Samuel, Zachariah, John the Baptist, and other Biblical men were found, and many of these pseudo relics were transported to the capital city of Christendom, Con- stantinople. It is not impossible that at this period also the pretended re- mains of the sister and brother from Bethany were transported to Cesarea, which in the ante-Chalcedonian period —i. e., down to 451—was the. metropoli- tan center of the church in Palestine. Salt Makes Sugar Sweeter. Who would think of making sugar sweeter by the addition of salt? Such, however, is asserted to be the case by Prof. Zuntz at a late meeting of the Physiological society of Berlin. From his experiments he finds, that if toa solution of sugar there be added a slight amount of salt and watef so weak that it excites no saline taste, the re- ’ suit is extra sweetening of the sugared water. The weakest of quinine solu- tion is said to produce a practically similar result. The explanation given of the above seeming incongruity is that the ever so feeble saltn’ess or bit- terness imparts an increased sensibility to the sensation of taste by the simul- taneous stimuli, and hence an appre- ciation of additional sweetness. re. .straight hair,” ex-- - doubled by them. EL OQUIZNTL ’( SE ilTENCED. Judge Wound Up His High-‘Falutin Speech with a Brilliant Hit. North Dakota’s Col: Plummer was in St. Paul the other day telling stories. He tells one about a judge. says the Pioneer Press, that was shaken. from North Dakota to Mexico, and the peo- ple down there, who tired of conduct- ing their own hangings, gave him a welcome and filled him up seven times a week. One night, after playing poker all night on the losing side of the table. he walked into the court with his hair pulling. He made up his mind to surprise the Mexico boys. There was a poor greaser to sentence for murder, and he let him have all he knew right and left for an hour, and wound up by saying: “But hope is not for you. For you the zephyrs will not successfuly combat the ice king; the prairie will not endue its carpet of glory, and the little brook will never go singing and bounding on its way to the sea for the delectation of your soul; never again will the moun- tains assume their green crowns, and blossom for you, Jose Marie J araro, for—” He looked about him and saw the crowd' 1n court was sta1ing at him wild- ey ed; they had never heard him in that strain before. Most of them thought he had gone mad. “This won’t do,” he thought to him- self. “These people will think I am crazy. I’ll let ’em down easy.” He fixed his eye again on the prisoner. "These things are not for you, I say; for. Jose Marie Jararo, you will not be in it. It is the sentence of this court that on next Friday you be hanged by the neck until you’re dead—cuss your1 \Iexican hide!” There was a sigh of 1elief from the crowd. The judge had saved himself by a timely return to the vernacular. And Col. Plummer’s auditors were so wrapt up in the story that they didn’t hear the suggestion for an extra ses- sion. A NEW RACE IN VOLD EGYPT. Recent DiscOvery of Graves —- Bodies W'hieh 'Were Not Mummiiled. What is absolutely novel to Egyptol- ogists is -a recent discovery made by Mr. Quibcll and Prof. Flinders Petrie of a new race inhabiting a large por- tion of the country, over an extent of one hundred miles, between Abydos and Negada. says Harper’s Weekly. Over two thousand graves have been i opened so far and the mortal remains found, with the various objects, open an entirely new field of research. Side by side with the graves of this new race are the well-known vestiges of Egyptian towns, with the pottery, heads, scarabs of the fourth, twelfth, eighteenth and nineteenth dynasties. “exactly,” as Prof. Flinders Petrie writes, “like those found similarly dated in northern Egypt.” Here, how— ever, is the strange anomaly. There is 1.0 object found in these graves which is like anything manufactured by the Egyptians. There is not a sign of a scarab nor has there been found on vase, amulet or bead the trace of a hieroglyphic character. All the pot- te1v1s111ade by he .nd and "the wheel was unknown The bodies found in the grave were not mummified and the methods of burial bear no semblance to Egyptian customs. Mutilation of the dead was carried out. for in the same "1 ave tl1e1e are skulls separated f1om the rest of the bodies. One marked peculiarity is that the human bones a1e “broken open at the ends and scooped 011‘.” This treatment, Prof. Flinders l’etrie says in the Academy, "certainly points to ceremonial anthropophagy.” From a study of the remains it seems to be positive that they belonged to a tall and powerful race, having a hooked nose, long, pointed beard and brown, wavy hair. There were no negro re- semblances. Supposably the people were allied to the Lib} ans and Amm- ites. . . —. MISTOOK THE OFFICE. Seeking an Employment Agency, the Lady Stumbled Into a DIatrlmony Shop. There is a funny story current in the English papers about a certain elderly Irish peeress well known in London society. She was in search of a new manservant and heard of a reg- istry office inacertain square on the confines of Bloomsbury. Thither she drove in much state, and on arriving at the square in question her footman asked a policeman where was the “agency.” A man in blue ma’jestically waved the equipage to a certain house. Her ladyship was admitted. “I have come about a young man,” she re- marked to the bland proprietor. “Yes, madam; I quite understand,” was the reply. “He must be sober and honest and used to good families.” “Oh, yes, madam; I think we have the very thing on our books. Would you like to see his photograph?” “His photograph!” cried Lady ———. “I suppose the man’s straight?” “Oh, yes, madam; a very fine man; a fortune is no object, I im- agine?” This last with a movement of the hand toward the carriage with its pawing horses, that could be seen through the window. “A fortune with my footman?” literally shouted the Irish lady. Then the proprietor ex— plained that his was a matrimonial agency and that the registry office was on the other side of the square. Expensive Seals. There are on the Pribyloff islands, to the southeast of Alaska, probably from four to five million seals. Considering that each one of these will eat at least ten pounds of fish per day, the herd will consume six million tons of fish a year. As some naturalists claim that a. seal will eat considerably more than ten pounds per day, this estimate is How expensive these seals are will be evident frdm the fact that the amount of fish consumed in England per year is less than six hundred thousand tons, which supply was valued at thirty million dollars. At this rating the seals of the northern Pacific get away with more. than three hundred million dollars’ worth of fish per year. A NING Yoszsrrs INSURANCE 00. ’0; NEW YGRK. I RICHARD A.
