| A careful historical chase Of the
bang through many countries finally
locates the fri1zly bang aa being a
native Of Africa, the ladies oi that
continent having advantages for pro-
ducing this style Of hiKsnie ornament
which their sisters fnrthcr north never
possessed. Established AZ d fashion
in Africa, it lost no time iii passing
over into Asia, and African slaves as.
sisting in its transit. But the capilia-
ry attractions Of Asiatie ladies' were
by no means suited to the African
style, and all efforts at frizzling their
hair proving failure, the curly bang
was evolved as the nearest approach To
the African style. Thus did the bang
traverse thousands Of miles and so
adapt itself to circumstances that
soon ethnologists have studiously
maintained its Asiatic origin
Exactly when the bang came into
Europe is matter Of duabt, some
placing its advent in the latter days
Of the Roman empire, while Others In
sist that il was brought back from the
East by the Crusaders, but whenever
it came, it found that the front hair of
European ladies was intractnble aa
their temper, and so the hair dressers
being unable either to curl or to friz-
zle, the sauces bang, stiff straight,
soaped and plastered dowa, as hideons
as nightmare, was fnallyseFelgsd.
This being settled there remains only
the concluding inquiry, whence came
the first banga The most formidable
Of the animal kingdom ia the much
dreaded female gorilla, who In defense
Of her young Is even worse than the
male.
Certain African dialects have an OK
prossion, "a female gorilla with her
front hair down. to indicate the ex-
tremity Of ferocious bearing. III time
it came TO pass that when African
ladies were abused BY their husbands
they adopted the same gesture, and,
so far as the hair was concerned, with
the same result. Then certain wives,
to indicate their readiness for battle at
all seasons, took to wearing their hair
down over their foreheads, and the
fashion rapidly spread to young ladies'
who wore their hair IN this style Of
insinuating their resolve never to sub
init to matrimonial tyranny.
Tho idea spread, and the bang
Hourished alike in African deserts, on
the banks of the Ganges, Of the
Thames and of the Mississippi Thus
the scientific research shed light on
social topics. and even the monstrosi-
ties of female costume are shown to
have their origin IN intelligent action,
for nothing is more reasonable than
that, as one animal taught man how TO
build his house and another how to
catch his dinner, his wife from third
should learn how to dress her hair

Beaumont Enterprise.

S11AhASAb A4AbSA pas
A little girl named Ella Bruce,
aged 10 years, who lived on the far
side Of Arkansaw, wanted very badly
to see a baby daughter Of her sister
who lives in Beaumont. She went as
usual to school, and during recess in
the morning session, SO intense was
her longing to sec her baby neice,
that she determined to set off to at
tain her desire. And she started
moneyless and without letting any one
know of her intentions. About a
week or ten days ago, she arrived
here and her aim in taking SO long
and perilohs journey was accom-
plished.
On her journey she managed to
make many friends who could not
help admiriug her courage, and who
assisted her onward. She met with
no harm, little or no hardship and
reached Here in better circumstances
than when she left she had money
and is now known as The "Arkansaw
traveller

Children are very Fond of saying:
~ was going to- The boy let's the
rat catch the chickens. He was going
to fill up the hole with glass and to set
traps for the rats; but he did not do il
in time, and the chickens were eaten.
He consoles himself for the loss, and
excuses his carelessness by saying: II
was going to attend to that" A boy
vets his feet and sits without chang
ing his shoes, catches q severe cold,
and is obliged TO have the doctor for
week. His mother told him to
change his wet shoes when he came
In; and he was going to do it, but did
not, A girl tears her dress SO badly
that all her mending cannot make it
look well again. There was a little
rent before, and she was going to
mend it, but forgot it, Aud 50 we
might go on giving instance after in
stance, such as happen in every home
with almost every man and woman,
boy and girl. "Procrastination isp
not only 'the thief of time,n but the
worker of vast mischiefs. If a Mr..
M-was-going-to" lives in your house,
just give him warning to leave, He
is lounger and nuisance. He has
wrought uunumbered mischiefs. The
boy or girl who begins to live with
him will have a very unhappy time Of
it, and life will not be successful. Put
Mr.. "I-was-going-to" out of your house
and keep him out. Always do things
which you were going to do.

POETRY.
W7TH0UT THE oHELpREN


o the weary, solemn silence
OF house without the childrenl
o the strange, oppressive stiffness,
Where the children come no morei
OH the longing OF the sleepless
For the soft arms of the children,
Ahi the longing for the faces
Peeping through the opening door,
Faces gone for evermorei
Strange 1t Is to wake at midnight
And not hear the children breathing,
Nothing but the old clock ticking,
Ticking, ticking, By the door,
Strange to see the little dresses
Hanging up there all the morning;
And the gaiters-ah their patter,
We will hear 1t never more
On our hearth-forsaken floor!
What is home without the childrenG
'Tis the earth without its Verdure,
And the sky without the sunshine
Life is withered to the corel
So Wen leave this dreafy desert,
And we'll follow the Good Shepherd
To the greener pastures Yernal,
Where the lambs have "gone beforeh
With the Shepherd eVermoFe!
