GENERAL. WALKER ON THE IRISH
 LAND QUESTION.

LAND QUESTION.
 Francis A. Walker has notable article in 1 the January number of the international ReUieU on 1.-The Law of Rent in it's Relations l to the Irish Land Question General Walker explains the economic law of rent and it's ar- bitrary and non compensatory character. High rent does not increase the price of the product of the soil and low rent does not help the consumer by lowering the price of food. Land is so plentiful in this country, and the independence of the tenant is so great, that the landlord can safely exact all
 the rent he can get. The tenant has the power to keep his farm or take another, and if the rent can be obtained 1t can never be so high as to be looked upon by the commu- nifty as extortion. In the countries of Flu rope, in England, France, Switzerland, Italy, other conditions prevail, but customs sufficiently strong and widely recognized enough to prevent their disregard have sprung up for the protection of the tenants. This being the case, the tenants of the world have not been, as General Walker shows, in position to sympathize with the tenants of Ireland Public sentiment custom, and, so
 far as this country is concerned, our vast ex
 tent of territory, and the legal equality of
 the people, have made much protective legis-
 lation unnecessary. Tenants are sufficiently
 guarded against the greed of landlords. In
 Ireland it is very different. There is nothing
 but law to stand between the peasantry and
 the rapacity of landowners. The landown-
 CTS do not come in contact with the tenants.
 They do not know how middlemen, inform
 CTS and agents are grinding down the tenants.
 An unnatural competition for the land among the peasants themselves is an additional
 breeder of distress.
 It is the main purpose of General Walkers
 able and interesting paper to show that the
 only help for the evils of the Irish land sys-
 tenn is in legislation. In the absence of cus-
 tom and public sentiment the Irish peasant
 must be protected from the landlord and the
 landlords agent by the strong arm of the
 statute law. This is one q Athe instances in
 which it is not true that the laws of nature should determine an economic problem.
 Nature has no law which has prevented or
 which can prevent the degradation of the Irish race under such a land system as has prevailed in Ireland. General Walker ap- proves the Land Act and in closing his paper says of it: t'The act of the last session seems to me to have supplied nearly all which political cowardice or defective political econ
 omy had left undone; and if the govern
 ment which has had the courage to eneeun- ter the ingratitude of the very people it has sought to benefit shall only keep it's grip on the throat of sedition long enough and strongly enough to allow the benevolent in- tentions of that act to be fully realized, do not see why the Irish land question will not be happily and finally settled.''

Red Hair and Beauty.
The Different Types of Red Headedness -CoIors to Re Chosen for Red Hair.

The Different Types of Red Headedness
 -coIors to Re Chosen for Red Hair.
 IFrem Miss oakeys '.Beauty in Dressal
 Until very lately the red haired class has been in modern times only admired by artists; though in olden days in Venice dark haired ladies used to dye their hair red to initiate their more fortunate sisters, who were born thus decorated To-day in Venice one sees sometimes the ed-haired Italian, with green in still more northern parts of Italy, and they are always admired.
 Red hair has been contrasted with blue customarily, and this is the one color that should never approach it.
 There are several types of the red haired, and each requires different treatment" Red hair with blue eyes must be differently managed from red hair with gray, or green or brown eyes. Very often blue eyes, which are not so fortunate as other oolors with red hair r,.may be neutralized by the color of the gown but as soon as blue is introduced into the dress, the blue eyes count for twice their value, and form too strong contrast with the hair.
 To assure yourself of this fact in color, take fabric upon which are red blue and green spots on figures fasten upon it a blue ribbon, and you will at once see the blue spots more prominently than the red or green; fasten green ribbon upon it, and your eye at once selects the green spots with a red ribbon the red spots tell
 Many blue eyes are of transparent quail ity-easily reflecting other color. A green dress will immediately impart some of it's own tone to the transparent blue eye, and thus it will to all intents and purposes cease to be blue. The green must by no means be light, for pale green is a very unfortunate color with really red hair, while the deep reds and yellows are very harmonious with it. One might set down the possibilities for the red-haired type as follows, these being principles that apply to.t the entire class of the red-haired, whether of one variation or an0thar

It should be in small quantities and contrasted with other, tones it is a pale, yellowish pink All pinks approaching violet shade are painful with red hair, but especially where the eyes are brown, and the complexion of that shell-like beauty that often accompanies this type. Such pink as we have spoken of used as lining to dull, dark amber, almost brown, such as 1 one may find in velvet, or red that is as red l as dark red hollyhock, seems to repeat l with deeper note in octave the fair bloom of the complexion.
 The blue-eyed women of this type do we'll l to wear chiefly the greens, stone-gra and 1 yellows, the creamy white and the black. This gives them sufficient range, and they cannot improve upon it; nor for ornaments upon amber, gold, pearls and yellowish lace. | The gray and green-eyed may venture fur ther still, taking besides the browns and purples; but the fortunate browne eyed may run the whole gamut here set down from white to black, through all the coIors allotted
 to them in the foregoing list; though they will find nothing better than the dark reds I and ambers.
 The most difficult variation of the red-hair- l ed type to dress is the sandy haired, with l light eye-lashes It often represents our most intelligent and quick-witted women. It is 1 hardly ever accompanied with fine complex ion but often by delicate form of the bony structure of the face, by fine teeth and deli l cate hands and figure. l Nothing is so good as black and white for 1 this style-always creamy white and black,
 either solid or transparent. The ornaments l should be amber, or gold, or jet; no color
 can be as good with this type as black or l white White lace or black lace afford all
 the opportunity for the effect of dressiness j; and the white of creamy cashmere or of | cambric tulle or muslin, can give sufficient l variety of costume, with the black of velvet, or transparent grenadine, or of cashmere, and

day issues of them. The brethren were hard ly prepared to take this extreme ground, and the meeting adjourned without any result be- ing reaehed The New York San notices this discussion and tells those who took part in it that there is no necessity for any con troversy on the subject It gives the n1inis- ters the following good advice: tiff there is the slightest doubt in any Cleveland minis ter's mind about the consistency of giving his sermon to the newspapers, let him keep his manuscript safely. If he says anything worth printing, the newspapers of Cleveland, if they are as enterprising as they ought to be, will take means to get it and print it, without troubling the preacher, and thus re- ieve him of all responsibility in the matter. Thus they will see their names and the very best of their thoughts in print, and the sin of printing them will rest, not on them, the preachers but on the reporters, editors, com positors, proof-readers, stereotypers, and pressmen who assist in preparing what every live minister wants and reads, his Monday morning newspaper"
 The curious fact is brought out by a writer in French newspaper that Augustus Yon Bismarck, one of the ancestors of the Iron Chancellor, began his career as soldier in the Army of France. He fought in Lorraine and Burgundy in the seventeenth century during the operations of Bernard of Saxe- Weimar, which had for their final result the passing of Alsace into the hands of France. "A Bismarck" says this French writer, ''has taken Alsace from us; Bismarck has helped to give Alsace to us.' The writer does not ap- pear to have the usual French prejudice against Bismarck. For his great qualities and for those of his family he has indeed high regard. ''Such are the Bismarcks" he adds in conclusion, Ia race of centaurs and Nimrods, cuirassiers, dragons carbineers, and at times diplomatists, skillful in promot- ing the measures intrusted to them, not less skillful in pushing themselves forward. Their life is steeple-chase; they never re- fuse the leap; they take it."

An interesting case has come up in Rhein- ish Russia, where one Peter Schif has been duly convicted of an outrageous assault and a murder and has been sentenced to fifteen years Imprisonment for the first offense and to death for the second. Between the prisoner and the authorities lively dispute has arisen as to the time at which the second sentence is to be carried into effect. Herr Schiff is of opinion that he should be decapitated in 1896, and declares that be can wait, and points out that if he is decapitated for the second crime it will be impossible for him to expiate the first offense; hence there will ensue mis- carriage of justice.

 long-1eaved short -leaved and 1ob1olly, in nearly equal amounts. The amount cut dur
 ing the year ended May 31, 1880, is set at about two hundred and seventy-five ID lion feet, at which rate it would last more than two hundred and fifty years. Florida has but (, ,615 million feet, and the forest is dis appearing at rate which would destroy it
