Kit* Field's Coiffeur. ."Whenever I visit Paris, I try a new coiffeur, with a view of stealing his ideas, if he has any. This is not often, as most coiffeurs are far more intent upon selling their warea than upon studying the shape of heads. First, they sigh over your hair. It is too long or too short, too thin, too thick or too something. What yon need is a braid. The more expensive the better. Without it, life is an aching void. They pour so much obloquy on your poor head that in a moment of weakness you listen to the voide of the tempter-and find your self sole possessor of another woman's hair. Coiffeurs are miserable at the sight of thick hair. Their occupation is gone, and I am persuaded that the majority of preparations for the scalp are devised for the purpose of injuring it. A women, a great artist in hair, who makes all the wigs for the leading Parisian actresses, frankly confessed to me that she rejoiced in no-haired women. ''They inspire me to produce works of art. Hair growing on the head is a bother. I assure you," she continued, earnestly, "that nature dis gusts me. It never grows in the right places. I .can put false- hair wherever I like, and behold a chef d'ceuvre!" I am forced to admit that this woman's wigs are lovely. "Pardon me, madamoiselle," says the present coiffeur, "but it is impossi ble to produce the desired effect with your hair—it is too short." Here he giver my head a dig and looks ineffable contempt AB I've gone through this preformance before, I am not crushed. "You need a very long braid like this I have here." II you need a braid here are half a dozen," I reply opening a box in which are stowed the remains of former folly. Figaro starts. Regaining composure he dresses my hair with my own braid, making me as big headed as I ought not to be. "Don't you see that won't do I say. "Parfaitement, mademoiselle. You do not a long braid. Your hair has a breeze in it. You require short curls and frizzes-voila. Just your color." "Here are curls and frizzes," I retort, opening another box. Figaro gasped, smiled a sickly Birille, and taking down the long-braid mountain bnilds an edifice that takes two inches off my height. When it is finished I turn upon Figaro. «»You know! look like- a fright. I cannot bear a mass of false hair. Take it off and dress my own hair simply. "Vous avze raison, mademoiselle, vous entrez dans le vrai. Now that I study your head I perceive its requirements. Attendee." I attendez, and Figaro turns nature into excllent art. "There," he ex claims, after the final touch, "that is a noble example of the haute ecole. Few of my confreres can approach, none can equal it." Lo, at last I conquer a coiffeur and scot an idea. Figaro is not the only clever Frenceman who offers what is false until hi3 patron demands what is true. According to Paris, all foreigners are barbarians in taste, whose only claim to tolerance is money, which is most readily extracted by judicious applications of flattery. Human nature is always frail, particularly when it visits Paris. There all weaknesses break out, aiwl, like the measles, come to the surface. Many saints would be full-grown sinners, given the opportunities Paris affords.—[The Cleve land Leader, A Story of Some Kliie». One of our most eminent stage heroes was traveling, by train in Switzerland a few weeks ago. Opposite him sat a couple of handsome young ladies, who not only fairly stared him out of countenance, but made him the topic of their whispering conversation. Flattered at first by this delicaee attention, the actor good-humored ly submitted to it, but in the long run he began to grow tired of "this sort of thing," and determined to put a stop to it. When in the tunnel, before reaching Lausanne, he imprinted a few audible kisses on the back of his hand. After the train emerged from the tunnel the actor sat calm and impassive as if nothing had happened, while the ladies first stared at each other and then began a series of mutual re criminations on the enormity of their con duct in taking,such liberties with the hero of the footlights, Of course each blamed the other, and the dispute lasted until the train stopped at Lausanne. Before leav ing the carriage the actor bowed to the ladies, hat In hand, and said: "Ladies, the great attention you bestowed on me during the journey makes roe naturally anxious to learn which of you gave me in the tunnel so striking a proof of your affection He did not wait for a reply, but left the ladies to their reflections. "Quit Renting Pews." The Rev. Samuel Jones said in a Cin cinnati sermon: "Every man in this country is the product of home missionary work. The man who gives to foreign missions is the man for whom home mis sions have done much. Here is a man we'll say he comes to church in his fine carriage and gives $10 a year to foreign missions. There isn't a Hottentot under heaven who would give §10 for that man's religion. My Christianity is that I haven't a moment's time, a drop of blood, or a dollar of money that I can't give to God. Cincinnati spends its millions to damn the city and hundreds to save it. Pews in the saloons are full, but here in the churches you all have big money for the best pews and crowd sinners to the back seats. It's an eternal shame to sell the pews in a church." The Custom of Treating. It is generally thought and said that the habit of treating is wholly and exclusively American but it is not. It is hardly known in Great Britain, though it is not uncommon in France, Germany and other parts of the continent, especially among students and young men generally. The English abroad, particularly in Australia, India, China, New Zealand and South Africa, treat, though not to the extent we do in this country. The custom is Anglo Saxon rather than American, and is be lieved to have prevailed during the dark ages in England. A Little Misunderstanding.
