The Penn's Grove record., 1886-10-09

In 1880 there was a vast difference
in hair-dressing In London and Paris.
The English ladies were wearing enor-
nous plumes of feathers of all colors,
with chains of pearls or beads hanging
round the mass of hair, which formed
the outside covering Of the ''bushel of
horse-hair wool" within. Bunches of
flowers were stuck about the head,
surmounted by large butterflies, cater
pillars, ETC., IN blown glass, as well as
models of coaches and horses. This
last fashion was the subject of carica-
ture. In one of the year 1777 the hair
is drawn up and extends backwards
perhaps a yard. On the summit a
hearse, drawn by si@ horses and iSadca
with plumes, is seen crawling down the
mountain Of hair. AT the base OF the
prints is the legend. "a safe and efec-
tual preparation for the next world"
In the year 1880 the Partisan ladies all
cut of their locks and adopt a new colf-
fure, called "a ~l'enfant,' tina queen
having Just had an illness in which she
lost her hair.
Probably this sudden change i'll
fashions barometer produced the vacil-
lation which a satirlst of 1880 thus re-
preached:
Now dress'd in a cap, now naked In none,
Now loose in a mob now close IN agoan;
Like the clock in the that shows you
the weather.
You are hardly the came for two days to-
gether.
Is there nothing in all this; is cos
tune a vagary governed by no law, a
nice bit of fancy wholly divorced from
the interior of the society which thus
arrays itself? Quite impossible, the
outer form and inner mind are closely
allied. "He who knows the costume of
a period almost understands it." says
Henry Martin, n OF the most Judi
cious of historians. So we think; and
only the ever increasing certainty that
these trides taken ON a large scale and
studied consecutively, lead to results
more purely historic than could be
found in tones of state papers could
ever repay the students of wadfug
through such painful rubbish.
Not that we pretend that the con-
slant disease incident in what is called
society" is a perfect diagnosis of the
life OF christendom. With it we must
even take the real history of the people,
a history not yet written and only late
ly thought OLA history, however, for
which is ample material, and which
will some day-when the true meanings
of knowledge are fully understood
relegate to 1t place in the extreme back
ground a vast proportion Of that which
now goes to make up the ordinary his
torical primer.

A Timely Suggestion.

One hundred and twenty-six thou
sand miles of railway are now resonant
with commerce in the United States.
Each mile contains 5000 wooden ties
(the average life of the tic is ten years;
each year 10 per cent. of the ties is re-
newed). At 60 cents apiece the an
nual cost is more than $50, 900, 900, and
ten years from date every tie now in
use will have been renewed. Think
of the forests thus destroyed, and Of
the other means of consumption OF
timber products, in bridges, cars,
warehouses, depots and fuel, which the
yoracious and Unsuitable railroads also
employ; and do they replace any treese

Curious Russian Custom Which VIII
Never Obtain in This Country.
For the first two or three days after
the wedding in Russia things go on
very well; that is, while the families
are exchanging their visits. After that
the husband beats Mis- wife, and if he
does not beat her she thinks it is be-
cause he does not love her. Beating is
the mark of a proper jealousy. Among
the Weather Russians the mothers on
Trinity Day dress their manageable
daughters very handsomely and take
them TO city garden, something like
Boston Common.
The silk dresses of the girls are I'M
like anything you ever saw here. They
are pink, yellow or'sky-blue, with huge
flowers of contrasting colors. The
girls are as stiff as sugar-loaves in them.
The mothers and daughters seat them
selves on benches in the garden, and
all the young men who want wives
parade before them. The girls never
look at the men. They sit until five
o'clock without saying word. Then
they go home and wait. In two or
three days, or perhaps q week, an old
woman appears. She asks for the
mother and begins to talk about every
thing in the world except the marriage
able daughter. She is the matchmaker.

they had said so; and who can they
be, friend RobinP"
"Well, let me see; surely not" But
ere his ideas found words, his bright
little eyes detected worm on the
ground below, and in the care of pro-
viding for the wants Of his family, his
friends troubles were forgotten.
Clark, wherefore on thy nest on the
ground instead of cleaving me with thy
upward flightP" whispered the morn
ing air.
"Ah! my nestlings will perish under
the foot of man if | protect them not"
Wherefore to-day more than yes
terday? Who has frightened thee un-
dulyP"
-" The cuckoo, and she said they had
told her, so it must be true. Air, you
go everywhere; can you not tell me who
they are?"
But the breeze had passed by, and
though it sighed its sympathy, it an
swered not.
A dew-drop fellfrom the grass above,
and murmured: $50 ask of the cloud;
surely he, who is so far removed from
the cares and pursuits of earth, will
have time to answer thee"
So the lark took courage and scared
upwards; but the answer was not in the
cloud. for its treasure was of the earth,
and its attraction thitherward as it
| floated downward.
40 Sun! surely you can not help
us, " it caroled; 1--WE are nothing in thy
sight; thou canst not care for our per-
plexities." And sadly it descended to
its rest, when, 10! straight from the
sun itself, piercing the passing cloud
and waving grass, ray of light penes
trated and flooded the very ground on
which she lay, whilst gentle voice
whispered reproachfully:
care not my rays for the lowest and
the least, equally for the lofty and
great of the earthP Tell me of thy
trouble" And the lark, soaring once
more in the light of the sun, recounted
the cuckoo's tale which had quenched
the Joy of the woodbine, the innocent
gayety of the meadow grass, ruilled the
content of the old brier hedge, and
raised anxious distrust in her own breast
for the safety of her offspring, ending
in the oft-repeated query; 80 Sun, can
you tell me who they areP"
"Words, idle words" came the an
swer down the golden ladder.
"And is there no truth, then, in what
she told usP" she reioined
Would it have grieved thee had
there not been? Are not trials of one
kind or another part of the discipline
of lifeP The hurt lay not in the truth
itself, but in its half-told tale. Does not
spring follow winter, renewed growth

In every day you re sure to find
One chance to test your saving powers.

An active brain and footsteps light,
Bright watchful eyes. They all will help
To store each one, a separate mite
Your hands can often ease a load,
Tho they do seem so small and weak.
Your eyes can give Il loving glance.
And gentle words your tongue can speak
Each day bring smiles 10 some ones face.
