Chinese Hilarity.

iftt innat Saturday \tEht.
 The Chinese preserve tradition that on certain night centuries ago one oi the three souls et a renowned Mongohan visited the moon and found the inhabi- tanls diverung themselves with theatrical performances. pon it's return to earth 1t established the terrestrial theatre. an event which Is still celebrated on Sept c3. the fifteenth day ot the Chinese eighth month. with various singular ceremonies called ongratulating the Moon. On the appointed night of the week the Chinatown of san Francisco was in a blaze of cheap glory. shops and lodging houses were illumined. the dragon flag tloatcd everywhere. lanterns hung from windows and balconies. and multitude of many y-colored candles shed light and grease around. Numberlcss sheets of mock paper money were burned, fire crackers were surreptitiously set of wherever policeman was not in sight and the air was vocal with the labberng of a thousand glib tongues. Chinamen in San Francisco have so little to con- gratulate themselves on tha, they seem justified in congra,ulating the moon. If theatricals arc really in favor on the lunar globe why don't some enterprising man. aeer take an Uncle Tom combination theres

Old and New Hair Treatment,

The arrangement of woman's hair,
which has SO much to do with their ap-
pearance, has undergone more changes
during the last quarter of a century than
the style of their dress. Skirts from six
to ten yards in circumference, gagged in
to pointed waists, wing sleeves with full
caps at the arm holes, and other fash
ions in garments at that time do not
look as awkward at present as the sleek
hair covering the ears and pulled out
full behind them, and the immense
braids which made the head look like a
basket in the back-the popular way of
arrangement twenty-five years ago.
What metamorphosis in q woman's
head from that time. The hair is now
made light, dry and fluffy, that it may
be crimped and frizzed and curled. A
little Betty knott is all that is requisite
in the back, where the many-stranded
braids We're so luxuriantly coiled or the
cushion-like chignon was pinned on.
That was the period of pomades,
when sleek and well-plastered locks
were shiny with grease, and the hair
was made heavy with oil. 1t was then
part of a housewives duty to beat up
lard soften it with castor oil, perfume
it with bergamot, and keep the jars of
the toilet table filled with this mixture.
A lump the size of a hickory nut was
but small amount with which to anoint
the head daily. So freely was this un-
guent used that the average head was
soaked with grease. Night-caps were
necessary to preserve pillow-slips, and
caps were kept by the most tidy house
keepers to place on the heads of guests
when they sat near the wall; otherwise,
circular mark of grease was left upon
it to remind them of their visitor.
The first innovation appeared in the
form of a ''tricopherous," which was a
mixture of alcohol and oil. 1t became
popular for hair dressing, because it
was more cleanly than the solid grease
of pomatum. After this ''invigorators7
of all kinds followed, each one contain
ing less oily matter. Finally the ''blcnde
style'' set in, and as grease made the
hair dark and heavy and is an enemy
to crimps, all the lotions for hair-dress-
ing were compounded without the oily
ingredients, and the day of dirty heads
passed. With pomatum nightcaps went
out of fashion, and although there is
much complaint in this age of ''frowsy"
heads, they are preferable to locks sat
urated with strongly-scented grease

/ had capital fun-for even in African
travelling we have our hours of ease-in
my attempt to take some photographs
of the people. found this a matter of
the utmost difficulty. At most places
my attempts had proved abortive, ow-
ing to the suspicious and superstitious
notions of the people, who would just as
soon have stood at the cannon's mouth
as face the camera. While the instru-
ment was being erected they usually
gathered round in crowds, open-mouth-
ed with wonder and curiosity. But no
sooner did I slip the black cloth over
my head for focusing purposes than
they fled incontinently, and neither
bribery nor cajolery could availto make
them stand again. They were always
thoroughly imbued with the idea that I
was working whitchcraft, and that my
supposed charming would take some vi
tai essence out of them. Hence not afew
villages remained absolutely deserted as
long as the camera continued on its legs.
Good Words.

Turks and High Schools.

81 wasted" said an old Turk, ''ten
years of my life in one of the high
schools. In consequence of this l know
nothing. Had gone to the schools of
the Softas might have become great
teacher A hi gh school teaches nothing
that people want to know. For in
stance, they teach botany. They spend
weeks in explaining to young man
that rose is rose! What earthly use
is that to anyone? If man knows a
rose when he sees it, he knows it with
out having learned it in book. If he
does not know that it is a rose, no book
will ever make him care to know what
anybody in this country" The Turk
was partly right. AS in everything else,
so in education, the methods adopted
by the Turks are mere apish limitations
of what is found in Europe, and always
remain unmeaning forms of exercise, a

Fashion Notes.
They tell of young lady at Long

They tell of a young lady at Long
Branch who has 125 dresses.
London fashion authorities say that
brides hereafter are to discard the long
train.
Pretty breakfast caps of red silk,
edged with lace, are worn by young
married ladies at watering-place ho-
tells
Blue, red, and white flannel hats, of
the Buffalo Bill shape, are extensively
worn by young ladies at the seaside.
Cheap materials covered with expen-
sive trimmings is one of the inconsist-
encies of fashion in ladies' dresses.
Don't talk any more about overskirt
and looping, but of ''drapery,'' which is
the word circulated by all first-class
modistes.
Wristlets of gay-colored ribbon, tied
in bow and having streamers. are ''all
the rage among the ladies at the fash
iOnable Summer resorts.
A new shade in cream color now much
seen in dress materials answers to the
name of 'tfresh butter" 1t is compro-
mise between yellow and ecru.
Women's dress nowadays approaches
so nearly to the male standard in SIM
plicity, says London writer, and fit
ness, that little is left to be desired.
Baltimore young maidens appear at
Cape May in red skirts, dark military
sacques and red turbans. They carry q
Sultan sunshade of Turkey red, and a
fan half yard wide.
Huge punches of red and white roses
worn by the ladies in their belt this sea-
son are of artificial flowers. but so clever
! is the deception that only a close OBJ
server can detect it.
One sees considerable coin jewelry
this season-bracelets, necklaces and
bangles made of United States gold and
silver pieces. A lady of Long Branch
wears necklace made of $40 and 500
gold pieces.
Shrimp pink is one of the fashionable
colors of the day, and it is to be said OF
it that it is very trying to the complex
ion, fact in itself not likely to perpet-
uate its popularity. Another color in
high favor is lobster red"
Carriage costumes seen at Newport
are very beautiful, of the richest mater
ials, and the most expensive trimmings.
Bonnet, parasol, gloves, in fact every
thing corresponds in hue color and what
may be called general elegance"
Wraps and mantles this Summer arc
if anything, handsomer and more styl
ish than ever, trifie eccentric, per.
haps, in cut and trimmings, but pretty
nevertheless. Those of gray cashmere
with the ball or tassel fringe are especi
ally stylish.
Newest coaching hats are something
of modified Gainsborough of fine white
straw and exclusively trimmed with
long, white, waving nodding plumes.-
They are called the "Mackay," presum
ably after our rich countrywoman who
lives in Paris.
