FOR THE LADIES'
Evolution In Huirpins.

The hairpin of to-day is no more
like its ancestor than is the enlightened
man of science like the primeval mon
key. Hairpins have "evoluted" out Of
the old-fashioned straight wire into
various shapes, sizes and designs.
Most of them are enameled. They are
of varying length, from the gossamer
forks with corrugated limbs, used to
hold in place puffs and curls, to the
long pins required to keep on the big
hats whose broad brims present great
temptations TO the wind They are
made by machinery, and are so cheap
that the poorest women may enjoy the
greatest variety. What becomes of
the hairpins9 They drop on floors I;
they get swept up and lost they be-
come bent and useless they disappear
and are replaced, and great factories
are employed in making them.

There are probably few, however fa-
miliar with the subject of the rapid
increase of capital put at interest, who
would not be startled at the announce
ment that the cost of the outfit of
Christopher Columbus in his first voy-
age of discovery, put at interest at six
per cent, would by this time have
amounted to more than the entire
money value of this continent, to-
gether with the accumulatiOns from
the industry Of all who have lived
upon it. If any doubt this, let them
reckon the amount, estimating the
entire outfit to have cost only the
small sum of $1,000, and remember
ing that money doubles, at six per cent,
in little less than twelve years, or
accurately, in eleven years, ten months
and twenty-one days. Allowing it to
double every twelve years, this $4,000
at interest at six per cent since 1892,
it will be found, would have amounted
to $17,S95, ,700,000,000; which, esti-
mating the population of the entire
continent of America North and
South) to be 85,000,000, or 100000
families, averaging five members each,
would give more than 81 100000 as the
possession of every one of these. The
interest upon $1,000,000 at six per
cent. is 100000, which would now be
the princely annual income of each of
these 100000 families from the ac-
cumulations up to this time upon so
small sum as that named for the out
fit of the discoverer.
In Hildreth's History of the Uni
ted States" it is stated that Manhat-
tan Island-afterward called New
Amsterdam, now the city of New
York-was bought by the Dutch from
the Indians, for sixty guilders or $24,
and this only about $50 years ago.
And yet, if the purchasers could have
securely placed that $24 where it
would have added to the principal an
nually interest at the rate of seven
per cent, the accumulation would ex-
ceed the present market value of all
the real estate of the city and county
of New York.
Again, if a man at the age of
twenty-five should commence busi-
ness with capital of 100000, and
could by any possibility add thereto at
the rate of seven per cent. annually,
the result would be lin round num-

In an article on Features of the
| New Northwest" in the Century, L.
V. Smalley says: There is a mistaken
notion in the East that the Chinese
are always humble and submissive and
much put upon and abused by the
whites of the Pacific coast. There was
time when the hOodlums of San Fran
cisco maltreated the Asiatic emigrants
shamefully, but that time has gone by.
Now the Chinaman appears to be as
secure in his rights of person and prop
erty as anybody. Instead of being
deferential and timid he is often push
ing and insolent. He does not give
way in the street. He hustles you as
rudely as an English navy. A body
of Chinese laborers marching down
narrow street will crowd ladies into
the gutter. The Chinese merchants,
doctors and Others belonging TO the
better classes. are as polite as French
men, but the masses of the Chinese
population on the Pacific coast are
rude and brutal. The chief thing in
their favor is their habit of personal
cleanliness. The railroad laborers,
who are the poorest and most ignorant
class, wash themselves from head to
foot at the end of each days work. All
classes are frequent customers of sthe
barber, who gives minute attention to
their heads, faces, ears and necks.
Among the common laborers there
is little sympathy for sick and injured
comrades. If aman is likely to become
burden the other members of his
gang want to get rid of him as soon as
possible, 1t is commonly believed by
the white bosses on the railways that
the Chinese doctors put sick men out
of the way by poison when they think
they cannot be speedily cured. A case
was told me in Oregon of Coolie rail
way laborer who had an arm broken.
1t was set by the company's doctor,
and was doing well, but the mans COM
rades insisted on bringing a Chinese
doctor to attend him. The doctor came
from distant camp and gave the pa
tient dose. In an hour the poor fellow
was dead. In such cases there is no
investigation; nobody cares that there
is one Chinaman less. The death of
Nfhi Y ilOloS VI luNOil lllOl6
One great difficulty the employers of
Chinese labor have to contend with is the
superstition of these queer people. Their
religious worship consists chiefly in pro-
pitiating the malevolent spirits of the
dead. If Chinese domestic fancies
there is ghost in the house he de-
parts at once, and leaves an inscrip-
tiOn behind to warn his successors. 1t
often happens that family will be
unable to keep servant more than a
single day. Man after man will come
and go without giving any reason for
his abrupt departure. At last the
warning sign is found in the kitchen
or the servants room and expunged:
then there is no more trouble. Not
long ago two Cinnamon were killed in
Oregon by the premature explosion of
a blast on new railway line. One of
their fellow workmen declared that
just before the explosion he saw two
devils come to the opposite bank of
the river and heard them talking.
Thereupon the whole gang of forty
men dropped work, and could not be
induced, by threats or persuasions, to
return to the spot.

COurtInE Under DlmcultIes.

A Cleveland CO., gentleman, who is
fond of story, related to a reporter
an incident of hypochondria which
came under his notice when he was
considerably younger than at the
present time. His narrative was
something like this When l was
a boy there lived near our house. in a
part of Cleveland that was then al
most in the woods, a maiden lady
who was in very poor health. In girl
hood she was not strong, and as years
advanced she imagined herself grow
ing moreand more delicate, till at last
she took to her bed, where she after
ward remained in daily expectation of
death. Her nerves were very deli
cate, and in my days the schoolmaster
used to warn us urchins to keep quiet
when going by her house, as we might
disturb her if any noise was made.
My youth and boyhood passed, and
with the coming of manhood l dis
covered that a young sister of the in
valid was very pretty girl, and
when, after coming home from
church or singing-school with her,
an invitation to come in was given,
it was always accepted. The short
and awkward visits made at first soon
gave place to the old-fashioned
sitting up. One evening several of the
young people came in, and the talk and
laughter grew hilarious. 1t was checked
instantly by heavy thump on the
floor in the room directly overhead.
where the sick woman lay. One warn
ing was enough, but the frequency of
the same signal afterward tended to
lessen our respect for it. 1t seems that
she kept big cane at the side of her
bed, and by rapping with it she indi-
Gated her wants-and her displeasure.

ner without effect, the parlor door
opened suddenly upon the assembled
party, and the bed-ridden woman stood
before our eyes holding the awful cane
in hand. 1t was the first time she had
moved in twenty years. Her entrance
was so sudden that she was able to give
two or three stinging blows to those
sitting near her before an escape could
be made. In moment shout of
laughter went up, and the supposed in
valid was not slow in finding that she
was the cause Her mother and sister
fixed her up with suitable clothes, and
she spent the remainder of the evening
downstairs, and the day following she
went about the family housework. l

setts, and it was only last week that
saw the once invalid woman walking
as triskly about as any person Of
eignty-seven could do.

Two Sides OF a Picture.

Police Commissioner Matthews. of
New York, one night visited the no.
torious resort of Owney Geoghegan on
the BOwery. He was accompanied by
detective who said that the frowsy
women, blear-eyed men, scowling faces,
pugilistic "mugs" and boisterous beer
drinkers whom the commissioner no
ticed were the ordinary nightly tenants
of the place. AS a contrast Commits
sioner Matthews was taken to a Ger
man sociable in Harmony hall, where
the law-abiding and hospitable Teuton
was seen literally in the bosom of his
family. Little tots tastefully dressed
were skipping about the ballroom,
their innocent little voices Ginning in
with the music, while their portly
mammas looked smilingly on.-Netd

Fashion Notes.

Popular colors for evening toilets
are buttercup and jonquil yellow.
Tulle dresses trimmed with white
marabout feathers are fashionable.
Stamped cashmeres, made up with
velvet or satin, are popular for home
dresses.
The diamond as an engagement ring
has gone entirely out of New York
fashion.
In beaded embroidery for evening
dresses all shades of terra-cotta pearls
are fashionable.
A favorite design for brooch is the
clover leaf pattern with a different
gem on each leaf.
Dogslkin gloves with four buttons
stitched on the back are worn by
ladies in cold weather.
Basques, with pointed waists, are
worn by young ladies in full dress.
These have the necks cut low.
The newest bonnets are very small,
but have pointed brim extending
over the forehead and long ears with
square corners.
Box plaits in dress skirts are made
so wide that they look like panels, es-
pecially when trimmed with cord four
ages and buttons and bows.
Padding, wadding and corsets are
avoided by fashionable girls, as it is
the style now to have the figure look
as natural and supple as possible.
Braided bonnets are made Of strips
of velvet, strips of plush, of chenille
and of camels hair TO match the colors
Of the cloths now so fashionable for
walking suits.
Tan is the fayorite color for evening
gloves when the rule of matching the
dress and gloves is disregarded. Tan
color harmonizes with white, black
and all colors.
The newest wraps are padded on
the shoulders, or rather on the upper
part of the sleeve. This is done ia
give the wearer an appearance of
greater height.
High corsages are very high indeed
the collar encasing the throat and neck
almost TO the ears; above it only tiny
rim of the white linen collar is visible
on a very narrow fiat plating of lace.
When the skirt is of chenille spotted
tulle, white or tinted, the underslIirt
should be Of white OF tinted satin,

That poverty which produces the greatest
distress is not of the purse but of the blood.
Deprived of its richness it becomes scant and
watery, a condition termed dnenud in medi-
cal writings. Given this condition, and scrof-
ulous swellings and sores, general and ner-
veus debility, loss of flesh and appetite, weak
lungs, throat disease, splitting of blood and
consumption, are among the common results.

while the corsage may be Of brocade
or plush of the same shade or Of plain

For debutante in society sixteen
years Of age, dress for family or
ordinary reunions is of white yelling
trimmed with breton lace or with
silk plaitings. For large balls the
dress of white surah, with small
floral designs. A pretty style is the
" Dauphine" dress of surah, with
small punches of flowers. 1t may also
be Of silk batiste, with alternate
punches of myosotis and rose buds. In
Paris young girls of twenty wear al
most everything in fashion, with the
exception of diamonds, heavy fabrics
and the richest trimmings.

A Matter Of " interest"

Many carelessly infer that the In
crease of money at six per cent. is just
twice as rapid as at three per cent;
but in reality the increase is vastly
more rapid than this. In 100 years,
at six per cent, the increase on any
given sum is about eighteen times as
much as at three per cent.
If 81 be invested, and the interest
added to the principal annually, at the
rates named, we shall have the follow
ing result as the accumulation of 100
years:
