A startling prediction comes from the
Nineteenth Century Club. DR.. William
\. Hammond advances the opinion that
in about one thousand years, which will
carry us to the wear of Our Lord 2SS5-G,
all mankind will be bald. Unless the
generation living in that age should
choose to counterfeit their ancestors Of
the present day by wearing wigs only
smoothly polished heads destitute of ca,
pillNry covering will be visible from the
family circles of theatres or the galleries
of churches.
DR.. Hammond does not undertake to
predict to what men and women Of that
distant era will resort to supply this def
cheney of hair, or whether they will re-
gard it as II deficiency at all, He only
makes proposition based on his obscr-
walton of the steady increase Of badness,
without even expressing an opinion
whether the decline of hair will be
blcmiSh or an ornamcntatiOn. Perhaps
the esteemed doctor is inclined to regard
it as the latter, since his own head emu
latcs the days Of 1885, except as to light
tilamcntous fringe which borders the base
of the skull.
1t is difficult to conjecture to what this
universal badness may lead. If the
present fashions should prevail in those
days it is not improbable that ladies may
employ distinguished artists to paint
Mikado figures, birds of bright plumagc
or indcscribable animals on their heads
and cntcrprising men of business may use
the smooth space for advertising purpos-
cs. If ladies decide upon wearing wigs
the business of the hair-drcsscr and the
lady's maid will be considerably tighten
ed.
If DR. Hammond is correct in his pre-
diction it is certain that the tcrmagant
wife of 1885 will not be able to take as
firm hold upon her husband as the wife
of the present time. 1t may also be qucs-
toned whether the politicians of that
date will be any more barcfaccd than
those of 1885, even if they should bs
more bareheadcd. -NeV York World.

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
Mexican SenorItas.

Mexican women try to outrivl each
other by splendid and expensive dresses,
hut none of them seem to think of tho
couture. The hair is cut in dog fashion
at the forehead, and taken up on top with
apouf dentclle, put on with more or less
taste, but diamonds the size of nm egg.
To cut the description short the Mexican
ladies do not yet understand that the hair
is the principal ornament of woman and
should be attended to accordingly.
The Mexican lady leaves the house in
the morning to 90 to church, She wears
sort of black shawl (tapa sc0) which
she draws over her head, leaving nothing
but the nose free. Returning home she
leaves the hair fall down her shoulders.
AT about two o'clock the ladies dress
their hair to go out for u drive in a car
riagc which is drawn by mules, because
horses cat too much. At six o'clock the
doors of the houses are closed for fear of
burglars. -.Haird,cSScr.

How Booksellers Are Robbed,

In an uptown bookstore at ingenious
contrivance for robbing booksellers can
be seen. 1t is box large enough to
hold an unabridged dictionary. 1t is
covered with ordinary brown wrapping
paper. Strings pass over the top and
sides and appear to encompass the pack
age. In reality they stop short of the
bottom, and the box can be opened read
lily and closed with snap fastening. A
handle is attached to strings on top of
the box, with which to carry it. A man
entered DuttOn & Co.. s store with one of
these nnoccnt-looking packages in each
hand. lie stopped to look ut books and
the boxes were deposited on the floor.
Other customers passing by kicked
against them, and in the most ordinary
way the man picked them up and set
them behind the counter, to be out of
the way. He was careful, however, to
put them behind the counter on which
dictionaries are displayed. Ten minutes
later one of shc clerks observed the man
stopping over the boxes, which were still
behind the counter. The clerk had no
suspicion that anything was wrong, but
the rascal on seeing himself observed took
alarm and walked hastily out of the
store. This caused an examination to be
made of the packages, which were found
each to contain big dictionary. The
man had meanwhile disappeared. The
trade papers have been warned, and the
smart sneak thieves will be obliged to in.
vent some new method for carrying on
their business. One of the boxes would
cost about $1.50.-New York Tribune.

"a while ago a couple came to be mar
