One of Proctor knOtt's stories,

During the dinner Proctor Knott demon
strated very clearly that his reputation
as story teller is not entirely undeserved.
One of the best stories he related was
how young colored lad got the start of
him in religious matter.
There was some sort Of celebration in
honor OF St. Francois de Xavier, which
he attended. A host of negroes IN his
neighborhood were Roman Catholic.
When he came home this darkey boy
asked him how he liked the service.
He said: 'sThere was one point about it
that never liked. sWhat is that?" said
the boy.
"The priest does all his praying in Lat
in"
At this the colored BOY fell down in
the road, and rolled over, shouting with
laughter.
''Why, what is the matter with you?o
said Knott.
The darkey answered: e'Fo, God, mas
sa, don't think that the Lord can't un-
stand Latin as well as English. In the
Catholic churches de priest he prays to
de Lord, and not to de congregation
and Mr.. Knott aGded that he haa been
brought up in church where the preach
er prayed to the congregation, and ac-
knowledged that the boy had got the
advantage of him. Washington Letter.

The Fashion in Dressing the Hair.

A New York paper says: It is exceed
ingly difficult to keep in fashion in re-
spcct of the style of dressing ones hair.
The coiture must be suited to the gener
al character of the face and form Of the
head, and whatever the style may be,
there are always many persons who can
not adopt it. The fashion at present is
to have the hair flat over the temples
and taken back to form torsades, which
are fastened so that they are quite fiat
and small and do not show from the front,
For this way of dressing the hair to be
becoming the face should be oval, or at
least the head should be small and
round. This style must not be adopted
II the forehead is either too high or low.
For balls and evening dress but fewflow-
ers are used, fancy ornaments are pre-
terred such as gold pms, daggers, stars,
arrows. These articles are made Of gold
or Imitation. Birds and insects made Of
precious stones are also used for the same
purpose. Young ladies wear mostly or
naments OF gold, silver Or fligree work,
or pins. For dressing hair, large pins In
light shell or real jet, matching the
combs, are placed in different parts of
the hair. A very simple way of arrang-
ing the hair is to crimp it slightly In
front, taking it back "a lantique,' with
golden band to divide it. On one side
the back hair is dressed with sscache-
peigne'' of flowers. A short curl hangs
over the other shoulder.

Preferring Suicide to Marriage

Colonel Forney's Progress tells Of a
widow in China who committed suicide
rather than marriage, and IN this public
manner paid the last debt of nature:
"People in China are not only allowed
to commit suicide, but they advertise
their determination beforehand, stating
when and where they intend to effect
their purposes. At least, the Foochow
Herald tell, of young widow who had
promised to hang herself on certain
spot on the 18th of last month, rather
than yield to the wishes of her inhuman
parents and mary again. The sacrifice
was actually consumated in broad day-
light. The girl hanged herself in the
presence Of an assembled crowd of friends
and admirers The tragic ceremony was
precedeo by reception Of visitors on
the platform erected for the occasion, af-
ter which the poor young creature mount
ed the chair, placed the rope around her
Slim 8 2 neck, and bidding final adieu to
this unsympathetic world, launched her
self into eternity" The reason assigned
ior the suicide does not seem adequate
Tor the sacrifice, and the Chinese journal
may initiate some Of its American CON
temporarles and indulge IN the sensation

Use of Wooden Clothing.

Prof. Jaeger, Of Stuttgart, recon.
mends the use Of woolen clothing both
ID summer and winter, and has invented
sort of normal dress by which he
claims the accumulation of fat and water
IN the system can be prevented. This
normal clothing has two essential prop.
critics:
1. It consists exclusively of wool.
avoiding. all materials woven from plant
fiber Cotton or lineh).,
2. Il makes a strong point in keeping
warm the middle line Of the front OF the
body.
But the principal popularity Of the
clothing is the exclusive use Of sheep's
wool, even avoiding pocket and other
Innings Of cotton.
