FOR THE LaDIES. Fine Heads of ttnlis A New York hairdresser, Bpeakintr of the glory of women, sts the most tnait-mfloent bend of hair she ever saw voj that of the Marquise 0 irioeption Mout-alvo de Qneroe of Cuba, who was a guest at the Fifth Avenue hotel with her huRband last, i inter. The marqnine herself was a very beautiful woman, but her hair it was just loveliness itself. It was over two yards long, tremendously thick, of a beautiful brown, and when loose fell to the floor in great rippling wa.ves. The marquise liked simplicity, Und wore the plainest coiffure imaginabletwo masnive braids wound round her shapely head and fastened with a diamond dagger; over her forehead a few short, wavy locks not bangs.under-stand.

Mrs. KIsed, wife of the Cincinnati editor, has still longer hair-over seven feet and so thick that it was a labor of ingenuity to do it up. It is light brown in color, and silky in the extreme, but there is such a quantity of it that it was impossible to follow any fashion in its arrangement. Luckily it was becoming to Mrs. Halsted to wear it in he only style it could be easily arranged that is twisted lightly and coiled round and round her head until it reached her forehead and drooped on the nape of her neck.

The daughter also has extremely iong hair, over six feet in length, looking like gold in the sun, and with the glimmer of satin. The hairdresser who tells this to the Graphic says it would take her nearly the whole morning to dress the heads of mother and daughter, and her back and shoulders would ache to distraction afterward. Autumn Millinery. AtnrcMN Bonnets. The taste for picturesque dressing continues to manifest itself in the increased size and quaint shapes of the bonnets imported for autumn and winter.

Large poke bonnets with high tapering crowns form the bulk of the lirst importations of felt, beaver and plush bonnets the round hats are also large and in picturesque irregular shapes; there are, however, some small bonnets and small round hats shown, though these are not nearly so small as those worn last winter. For plain bonnets, felt, which was discarded last year, is revived, especially for small bonnets that will be almost concealed by trimmings of plush and feathers. Large bonnets are of the new napped felt brushed smooth and glossy, with the brim left unbrushed to make it look like fur or plush. The fronts of pokes are high and narrow, or else they are rolled back along tho entire edge the crowns are mostly in Mother Hubbard shapes. There are also the Bernhardt pokes so popular during the summer, the back of the crown turned up, and a projecting front that may be worn down on the forehead, or high above it, according to the wearer's pleasure.

Smooth beaver or napped felt pokes have sometimes a border of clipped ostrich feathers woven in the brim. Plush poke bonnets have smooth crowns, while the entire brims, inside and out, are brushed to show the deep pile, and sometimes tho brim is striped in two tones of one color; again, there are black crowns with the brim of bronze, old gold, or drab, or a brown crown with ecru brim, etc. The felt, plush and beaver bonnets come in bronze, olive and myrtle gretn, several shades of red and of brown, with drub, black and white. Small capotes and also small pokes are shown in similar colors made of smooth felt with brush-beaver brims the name dealers give to the furry-looking beavers. The Rabagao or coronet front is seen on many capotes, while others are turned up with the Bquare revers seen on Bolero hats.

Among the large hats the most graceful are the Longcliamps. This is shown in felt, with its upturned brim faced with plush, feathers or velvet, and a turf of short plumes falling toward the front from the crown. The Bolero is another familiar shape, with a straight brim turned up squarely all around, and the upturned edge covered with drooping lace or beaded fringe. The newest GainsbornntliH ami tlm peasant shapes have very slender crowns ttiuiuoij iu puiuu Jlingilhll walking hats nre also heightened in the crowns, but these are not largely im- norted. as tliev I) I'D mpfolv naaf an1 jaunty, while the fancy at present is for uutumg tuut is not picturesque.

Feathers. The new hats will be laden with plumage almost to the exclusion of flowers. Ostrich tips, denii-long feathers, and the long plumes very much curled are the first choice.

Stylish long plumes are so thick tl.at the single long feather is not suflieient, hence thev are pieced under the quill in order to make them full and long. Fancy feathers are made up in various designs to match the glace and shaded plushes wun wniou tuey are combined. To make up the feather ornaments boxes of birds are imported, the featiiers are stripped from their wings and breasts, and are pasted together in bands and coronets, and new colorings are tlms made up. There are whole boxes filled with tuurterelles meek little doves in their solemn drab shades smaller cases contain dozens of tiny humming birds while great wooden chests are filled with brilliant impions that are as large su tiirltAVR. unrl ava nnlv fmin1 nn tlm highest mouuiuin peaks many of the gieeu-uiuo icaiucre anu inose or name, colors are taken from these mammoth hirdfl.

THE TELEGRAPH ASD ISDIASS. 1 Want thrilled Men Think of the "Talk ln Wire." "The telegraph line to the Pacifio coast must Vo kept tip at any cost." Such was tho imperative order of General Tat Conner, the noted California Indian fighter, to tb veteran patrol upon the old California trail on the North Platte during the last year of the civil war.

Men were scarce and the Indians were more numerous than ever before. Conner was the largest military expedition ever sent into hostile Indian country. He had determined to open a road from Fort Laramie through the Big Hoj-n, Tongue river and upper Yellowstone ccuntry to Bannock and the Montana mining regions, and to obtain a foice large enough to insure success nearly every military fort or stockade on the telegraph line was depleted of fighting men. It was the summer of 18C5, and times were very exciting in the East. Telegrams were eagerly sought for in California, but the difficulty in keeping open an uninterrupted electric line through 500 miles of hostile Indian country was only realized by the brave but scattered military patrol engaged in that dutv.

Wherever the redskins crossed the line they tore down the wire, burned down poles, and in many instances carried away the wire, and after coiling it up would throw it into the nearest creek or river. The 300 miles of lino between Fort Laramie and South Pass were intrusted to the care of thirty young men of tho Eleventh Ohio var airy, under command of the late Edward Creighton, of Omaha, then superintendent of tho Overland telegraph line. It was to him and his small band of cavalrymen that General Conner issued the above terse and emphatic order on their departure on their perilous three months' trip. Tho small number of Creighton's patrol rendered an open campaign against the Indian marauders impossible. All repairs to the line were done in tho night, and all breaks in the wire were made in the day time.

The mode of destruction was as follows: A party of young Cheyennes or Sioux would gallop up to the telegraph line and throw a riata or rope over the wire, and then start off on full gallop, tearing down the wire, which was usually coiled up and carried away to be concealed. The mischievous redskins would then deploy up ami down the line, each buck squatting himself down at the base of a telegraph pole, where he kindled a fire of sage brush or greasewood, and after lighting his pipe would sit and wait patiently until the tall pole burned through and fell. The labor of cutting down or digging up the poles was too much for the lazy savages; and, as time was no ob ject to them, they waited until the poles fell. The military patrol, safe within its impregnable corral of wagons loaded with telegraph poles, could see the work of destruction going on up and down the line, but dared not move out of camp until night concealed their movements. The Sioux and Cheyennes have always been very superstitious about the "talking wire," as they call it, and for several years after the Indian war broke out re frained from meddling with the overland line.

In order to impress the minds of these wild beings with the mysterious power of the telegraph, a great council was called at Scott's lilufis, where the line was first built. I wo of the great chiefs were stationed at posts in the open plain, between the Chimney Kock and bcott 131 lis, and each sent messages through telegraph operators, which were promptly delivered. Then the chiefs mounted their fastest horses and galloped to meet each other, and asked what the message was or the words ho had spoken to the wire The result astounded them. They could not explain it, nor has it ever been understood by them, and to this day a telegraph operator or man engaged in the repair or management of the "talking wire" is regarded as a "medicine man" and a person to be let alone. It was to this superstition that Creighton's thirty men owed their lives and exemption trom attack.

ith the approach of night the tele graph destroyers usually disappeared, and the repairers would start forth upon their thrilling and exciting trips. The horses hoofs were muffled with blanket pads to prevent noise. No saddles were used, so as to render the horses lighter in case of retreat or pursuit bv the Indians. The instructions were, in case of interruption by the Indians, to scatter into the brush and each man to silently escape as best he could to the camp. One party would dig holes and insert the burned telegraph pole, alter unv ing in a largo nail upon which to hang the wire.

The hammers used were thickly padded so as to muffle the sound of the knocking. No talking was allowed, and only whispering when unavoidable. Creighton's work was usually the most dangerous. His task was to unreel a thin, thread-like wire covered with green silk, and stretch it from one end of the break to the other, suspending the frail wire upon the top of sage brush or weeds. ISy this slight, delicate wire the people of California and Nevada sometimes received a whole day's news.

But woe to the wire if jack-rabbits were thick, or a bear or stray pony crossed it, as they often did. The frail thread would break, and uaiv fornia got no more news for that night or day. Sometimes the Indians camped on the line. In that ovent Superintendent Creighton would start out alone in the darkness, make a circuit of the Indian camp, reach the line beyond the break and attach his pocket instrument and commence to talk to Omaha or San Francisco, send messages to operators on the line, and then return to camp in time to escape capture. The Indians never move about at night; hence there was little danger of meeting them in the darkness.

When moving from place to place the ten wagons loaded with long telegraph poles proceeded in two lines, the men in the center. When the Indians appeared a corral was formed instantly, stock in the center and men at the breastworks formed by the tele graph poltb. But while this little patiol was pursuing its daring and soli tarv work, lively times were being en acted not far away from them; and many brave men were dying by bullet, arrow. tomahawk and Indian torture.

SUNDAY READIX0. ThelPaihon.etlLire. The nathoa of lifo lies but little bo- low the surface; the loving heart fools it all. While I was in college I was im pressed very deeply by an incident illustrating the pathos or these lacts, which need only to be known to be- folt. I had observed a large Newfound land deg about the dormitories for nearly a week.

One cloudy afternoon an old man came wearily into the yard and inquired for tho dog. The wild ones saw a chance for a little diversion and so the dog was allowed to look benignly down from the attio windows upon his master. The old man trndged up the long flights of steps, but when he reached the room he saw the dog playing leap-frog with the boys on the campus. Again he patiently descended and the chase was kept up until the old man saw it was of no use. It afforded great sport for the thonghtless, but there were some among the scores looking on whose hearts and tongues protected.

"Boys," said the old man, "this looks like sport to you, but if you only understood the circumstances you'd feel more like crying than laughing. My wife and I had a little granddaughter week ago, but we haven't now. She died last Saturday. This dog was a great favorite with her. He stayed iu her room all through her sickness, and she would stroke him with great tenderness when she was almost too feeblo to raise her hand.

Whilj she was lying she said: Grandma, you'll keep Bover to remember me by, won't you, grandma? Be good to Bover and we'll jill meet in and now grandma is very lonesome without her little girl, and she wants the dog. He ran away as soon as the little girl died, and I have been searching for him ever since. Please, buys, let me take him home, for we have nobody to care for but the dog." His voice choked while tears started in many eyes. Quickly the dog was given up: a hat was passed and substantial tokens of the boys' repentance were presenieu ine oin man, aim wuue ue trudged away, followed closely by his dog, the sun broke through the clouds, for it was about to set, and flung a flood of golden rays upon the college campus and its buildings, lighted up the old man face as he made an adieu, and seemed to be the benediction of heaven upon the scene. I never shall forget it.

The following beautiful gem is float ing around the press as a waif: The most perfect home 1 ever saw wa a little home into the sweet incense of whose altar fires went no costly things, A thousand dollars a year served as a living for father, mother and three chil dren. But the mother was the creator of the home. Her relations with her children were the most beautiful I have ever seen.

Even the dull and commonplace man was lifted up and enabled to work for souls by the atmosphere which this woman created. Every inmate of her house involuntarily looked into her face for the keynote of the day, and it always rang clear.

No part of the human body is so much necrlected as the feet. Possibly not over ten in each hundred, of even the educated classes, properly cleanse the feet and nails.

At Pantano WAdnndav afternoon tho brakes of a flat car loaded th ties be came loosened in som inexplicable ninnner and Mia car began to- move down the steep grade toward Oienega. o.ysianaer jumped aooara ana endeavored to tighten the brakes. He, however, found them unmanageable. Another tried and idled. A regular brakeman then boarded the car and quickly discovered that the brakes were out of order.

The car by that time had increased its speed to fully twenty miles an hour, and to remain upon it wonld be almost sure death when the first washout was reached. He therefore called to the other two men on the car to jnnipand this they did. Engineer rank Shaw at this time was Pitting ou his engine at IVano and attached to his locomotive was a car filled with Chinamen. He at once realized the ter rible result if this runaway flat car was allowed to proceed unchecked on its way, for a score or more of laborers were engaged down a deep gulch iu the Cienega pass strengthening the braces of a broken bridge that spanned it. Tbey would not be able to hear the approaching car and it would soon crash through the weakened timbers and probably crush many beneath its weight.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind he pulled wide open the throttle-valve and started iu pursuit of the fast-receding car. It was a race for life, and Shaw was soon thundering down the track at sixty miles an hour, with the car-load of terrified Chinamen behind him. The flat car ahead was increasing in speed at every turn of the wheels, and the grade there is very steep. The locomotive, however, kept gaining, and finally Shaw, placing the lever in charge of his breman, crawled to the cow-catcher, and, taking the heavy coupling-rod in his hand, stood in that perilous position until the car was reached. The chasm where the men were working came in sight, and still the fugitive car was two hundred yards away.

He called to his fireman to open wider the valve, and the laboring engine made a lurch that showed she had felt the in creased volume of steam. They sped on with lightning rapidity. The space between them gradually lessened. Shaw stood with tho rod in one hand and the coupline-pin in the other. Finally the few feet disappeared, and with a dexterity that comes from prac tice and a cool brain the coupling was made.

The locomotive was reversed aud the train came to a standstill with in fifty feet of the bridge. This is the way one man saved many lives. 2 ucson (Ar.) Journal. Cheese Made from Potatoes. A German paper says that cheese is made from potatoes in Thuringia and Saxony in the manner below: After having collected a quantity of potatoes of good quality, giving the preference to a largo white kind, thev are boiled iu a caldron, and becoming cool, they are peeled and reduced to a pulp, either by means of a grater or mortar.

To five pounds of the pulp, which ought to De as equal as possible, is added one pound ol sour milk and the necessary quantity of salt. The whole is kneaded together and the mixture covered up and allowed to lie for three orfourdays, according to the season. At tho end of this time it is kneaded anew, and the cheeses are placed in little baskets, when tho oupernuouo rnoif tui-o oeoapnu. They are then allowed to dry in the shade, and placed in layers in large vessels, where thoy must remain for fif teen days. The older these cheeses are the more their quality improves.

Three kind3 aro made. The first and moot common is made as detailed above; the second, with four parts of potatoes and two parts of curdled milk; tho third with two parts ol potatoes and lour parts of cow or ewe milk. These cheeses have this advantage over other kinds, that they do not engender worms, and keep fresh for a number of years, provided they are placed in a dry situa tion and well-closed vessels Shrewd Pike.

The New Orleans Democrat recounts the many good qualities of the Mexican burro that has lately been introduced into that city as a child's horse, who, it seems, can banquet on splinters and scraps, carry immense loads, and is faithful, uncomplaining, docile and tire less Lut, "we regret to say," continues the Democrat, "the burro brays. Amaz ing as is his strength, his stamina, his amiability, his courage, these things are as nothing compared to his bray. That such a tremendous and far-reaching sound should emanate from such a small a source constitutes the eighth wonder of the world.

"When the little blue burro they are nearly all blue concludes to celebrate hiB scanty period of relaxation by a good, healthy, whole-souled bray when he humps his little back, and shuts his little eyes, and lets his ears lie along his back, and then gathers himself into one ecstatio note, it is enough to make one envy the sainted dead and long for the cold and silent grave. The sleepers for a mile around start up with the sweat of terror on their furrowed brows, children fall down in fits, the sick believe they have heard Gabriel's horn, and the very atmosphere shudders like a human creature. Burros don't often bray, because they haven't much time for braying but they bray sometimes, and that is what keeps them so low in the scale of animated nature. Without his bray the burro would be little short of an angel. As he is, however, he is nn animal to be admired at a distance and in the abstract."
