NOM0re Bangs.

It is rumored that bangs are surely
going out Of fashion this spring, and that
the hair will be woEn brushed plainly
back from the forehead. While bangs
are not necessary for women who possess
low, pretty foreheads, they are an abso
lutte necessity for women who possess
high, ugly foreheads. There can be no
denying the fact that when the hair is ar
ranged prettily and becomingly over the
forehead, it greatly softens the outlines
of the face and lends nadditional charm
to it. 1t is all nonsense for people say
that the most sensible women wear then
hair brushed smoothly back from then
brows. The most sensible women are
those who know what is becoming to
them. If they look well with their hair
banged or curled, they wearit so; if they
do not, they fail to follow the prevailing
fashion, and dress their hair plainly.
The Grecian coil has gone entirely out Of
fashion except for street wear 1t Is
almost impossible to wear the hair the
top of ones head with the fashionable
hat of the period Very few ornaments
are worn in the hair Those that are
worn are mostly silver or amber hairpins

How to Prevent Fires.

The following simple precautions if
strictly followed would prevent great
many destructive fires. The rules might
be posted in ever store, dwelling and fac
tory with good results:
The leading causes of fires are kerosene
oil, matches and furnaces.
l. Always buy the best quality of oil.
2 Never make a sudden motion with
q lamp either in lifting or setting down.
3. Never place a lamp on the edge Of
table or mantel.
4. Never fill a lamp after dark, even if
you should have to 90 without a light.
5. See that the lamp wicks are always
clean and that they work freely in the
tube.
6. Never blow out lamp from the top.
Z. Never take lamp to closet where
there are clothes. If necessary to 60 to
closet, place the light at distance.
8. Use candles just as much as possible
in going about the house and in bed
rooms. They are cheaper, can't explode,
and for very many purposes are just as
good as lamps. !
.. Matches should always be kept ~
earthen jars or tin boxes.

A new fashion has found favor in Ger
tain Partisan drawing rooms. As the
guests arrive, in response toan invitation
for "a soiree d4Bs1btc, they are met at
the door by Young lady, who gives a
small bouquet to each person, and insists
that the flower shall be attached to the
buttonhole of the the gentleman or the
corset Of the lady. Each gentleman IL
then expected to seek out the lady who
wears a nosegav similar in every respect
to his own and he thercupon, after the
customary situations, becomes her part
ncr for the rest of the evening. This
compulsory coupling, when skillfully or
gani2cd, favors many intrigues, promotes
match making and affords good oppor-
tuuity for the display Of spite, by bring
ing unsympathctic persons together.

A New Naval Monster.

A submarine boat which ought to be
able to destroy the nayies of the world
has been made at Stockholm. 1t was
tried on the Maar lake and will shortly
be brought over to France. The boat
has the shape of cigar, is sixty-foul
feet long, six feet wide and has an engine
of thirty horse power 1t is said that it
can be navigated under water, goes at
the speed Of ten nautical miles the hour
and that four persons can without any
danger remain in it for six hours run
ming. The funn6l-shaped cylinder is the
only part of the boat which is visible. A
winding stair lie DIS to the boat, which is
steered from the top of the cylinder,
where glass roof enables the man at the
wheel to see the surface Of the water and
direct the course of his strange submarine
engine of destruction. Pail Mall

takes position as solid and rock-ribbed
as that of the Green Mountain range,
in the likeness of which he casts his opin-
ions; and he does not propose to lower
the dignity of woman as mother, wife
and daughter, by enrolling her upon the
list of voters. In his view the physio-
logical differences between the sexes de-.
note differences of trusts and responsible
ties that in the body polite as in the
body natural--in reason as in nature
constitute insuperable lines Of demarca-
ton. Mr.. Poland will, no doubt, be roundly
abused by the women suffragists for the
entertainment of what they will be pleased
to term opinions derogatory to their sex,
but it is really he-of all the members of
the judiciary committee-who, by recog.
nizing the laws of being, the proper rela-
tions of the human family, the peculiar
distribution which nature has made Of
her gifts, and the varied duties with which
Gods creatures have been invested, pays
highest Difference to the nobility and sa-
credness of womanhood."

district conventions 60 on electing Ed
munds delegates, and there is every reason
to believe that the full delegation of
twenty.eight members, rounded out to-day
by the selection of delegates-at-large, will
be for the Vermont senator. The Ohio
convention to elect delegates-atlarge was
substantially Sherman assembly. Even
the most enthusiastic of Mr.. Blaine's
friends do not claim more than twenty.six
of the Buckeye states forty.two district
delegates-after pretty sweeping asser-
tions of the historians substantial posses.
sion Of the entire delegation. The coali-
ton convention in Virginia, under the
control of Mr.. Malone, sends delegates
which may be safely set down to the credit
of Mr.. Arthur. The straightouts," un-
der the lead of Representative Dezendorf,
send Blaine delegation, and on the ques-
ton of the admission of these delega-
tions will come the first test of the
strength of the rival candidates. Mich
igan pronounced for candidates who can
win an old-time republican majority. So
far, the results of the various conventions
indicate that Arthur and Blaine will have
strength enough to crush each other, but
neither will have enough TO secure the
nomination. For a compromise candidate
the outcome in New York gives assur-
ance that Mr.. Edmunds may be chosen.

as we'll be saved. That body should be a
deliberative assembly. The members
should come together, and without per-
sonal bias seek to find the men who will
make the most efficient officers. The
words of Mr.. Billings should not be for
gotten at this time, when a break in the
line Of the candidates may have ten
dency to upset the judgment and impel
men into the expression of hasty and in
considerate preferences. The state needs
for governor man who can do more than
discharge the strictly technical duties of
the office. She needs to frame and adopt
policy Of systematic and generous pro-
motion of agriculture, of encouragement
to manufactures, of reform in educational
matters, of development of its resources
and protection to its varied interests.
She must bestir herself in this direction.
Her sister states, even those less favorsbly
situated than herself, are outstripping her
in material, if not indeed in moral, pros.
poTlbys lu6blbubo a uoW ucphT-
ture in her policy of state management.
The first essential is thoroughly compe-
tent state government and at its head
governor who has the capacity to develop
right policy, the experience in practical
affairs to guide him, honesty and indie
pendence to sustain him, and the address
to win the confidence of the people and
the legislature, whose assent and cooper
alton must be had. These views we
have frequently pressed upon the atten-
ton of the people. The time is favorable
for their reinforcement, and they should
be kept prominently in view during the
remaining days of the state canvass, which
will practically close with the nomina-
tions which will be made in June. The
nomination of each candidate on the state
ticket should be matter of mature de.
liberation, and jealous partisans of par
ticular candidates should learn to subject
their zeal to interests that are of higher
and more far-reaching consequence than
the political aspirations of any man.

The Rutland Herdlds comments upon
DR.. Nichols withdrawal contain the fol-
lowing crisp paragraph, which relieves its
article from the tame conventionalism in
which the regulation press notice is writ
ten: "The doctor alludes to the acri.
monious character that the discussion has
assumed; this was but natural, when we
recall the bitter and INSCRIPTIONS denun-
citation of Billings by the Argus, and its
advocacy of Nichols against Pingree.
'We fear the Greeks bearing gifts is
good counsel when we see an uncompro-
missing democratic paper opening mud
battery on one republican candidate and
strewing the path of another with flow
ers. DR.. Nichols was not helped by this
sort of suspicious support, but his real
weakness before the people was not per-
sonal, for he is a popular man, but it
was manly reluctance to overslaugh
acknowledgement Pingree, who was
personally and politically his peer"

these everyday affairs, capacity to discern
their bearing upon a community's success,
and ability and energy to direct them so
as to inure to the common good-these
are the equipment of the true politician.
They are homely and commonplace in
comparison with the snowy trsppings of
the political drum-major, but they are the
qualities that make the music to which
the people must keep step, or straggle in
the rear of the marching column of
prosperous states. 1t is men having these
solid qualities, rather than nimble fingers
to twirl the gilded baton of office to at
tract the gaze Of gaping crowds, that Yer
mont wants to look up for her Legislators
and state officers. 1t is good year for
the people to begin to ponder these things
and put their conclusions into their votes.

FROM the attention the nationl house
judiciary committee gives to the subject
of woman suffrage it must be regarded
as very important, if not the most i'm
portant, measure before that committee, if
not indeed before the house. Four men,
bers of the committee have distinguished,
if not extinguished, the matter by as
many different reports. The majority re-
port by Mr.. Maybury is prophetic of the
gloom which would settle down upon the
households of the land if the spirit of
political contention, irrespective of sex,
should be permitted to invade the peace
and sanctity of the Preside. For the mi
nority, Mr. Reed holds that emo reason on
earth can be given by those who claim
suffrage as right of manhood which does
not make it right of womanhood also"
Mr.. Dorsheimer agrees with the majority
of the minority of the committee to the
extent that he thinks the interests Of so.
ciety may soon require that woman should
have the right Of suffrage, but considers
the present an inopportune time for sub.
mitting the proposed amendment. "Of
the four reports" says the Washington
Post, that OF the venerable Judge Poland
Of Vermont is by all odds the most peril
nent, direct and Ineligible. He
