Fa shion in Greetings.

The Washington Post explains the very
latest thing in fashionable greetings, and
why it is likely to be popular:
The courtesy is apt to supcrsede entirely
the tircsome shaking of hands, of which
the Americans are so fond when wclcom-
ing friend. 1t has received fashionable
prestige in New York and markedly so at
Mr.. Winthrop's ball, where his daughter
and her chaperono made deep and grace
full courtesys to each of their guests as they
entered. There was some talk here three
winters ago of reviving this bit Of statcli-
ness, but, as rule, it did seem to exactly
coincide with our national expression of
hospitality and friendly feeling, and,
again, as Miss Tillie Frclinghuyscn said,
''There are very few who can do if grace
fully" Mrs. MacAllister Laughton can
make the most stately and sweeping court
esy, the very embodiment of the charming
manners for which she is noted, and her
courtesys are at once the envy and admira-
lion of all. Washingtonians, perhaps be-
cause of their attendance at presidential
receptions, think shakehands the only
proper expression of civility or formality,
and this idea is so well grounded that if a
lady receiving in the line with the presi-
dents or the ladies would omit to shake
hands with each one introduced she would
Immediately be pronounced as lacking
in the qualities of friendly spirit which
Is expected to prevail there. As the no.
ton now rules, lady is expected to shake
hands with each conner, when assisting the
president, but in her own house she can re-
vive the courtesy, with perfect freedom and
knowledge that there her intent will not
be misunderstood.

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.


( Mexican women try to outrivl each
other by splendid and expensive dresses,
but mono 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 dentelle, put on with more or less
taste, but diamonds the size'of an 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 SO to church. She wears
sort of black shawl (tapa scaa) 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 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. --Hairdresser.

The Doom of Hannah Hair.

A startling prediction comes from the
Nineteenth Century Club. DR.. William
A. Hammond advances the opinion that
in about one thousand years, which will
carry us to the year of Our Lord 2885-6,
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,
pillary 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 a 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 a
bcmish or an ornamentation. Perhaps
the esteemed doctor is inclined to regard
it as the latter, since his own head emu
lates the days Of 1885, except as to light
flamentous 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 plumage
or indcscribable animals on their heads
and cnterprising men of business may use
the smooth space for advertising purpos-
es. If ladies decide upon wearing wigs
the business of the hair-dresser and the
lady's maid will be considerably tighten
ed.
If Or. Hammond is correct in his pre-
diction it is certain that the termagant
wife of 1886 will not be able to take as
firm hold upon her husband as the wife
of the present time. 1t may also be ques-
toned whether the politicians of that
date will be any more barefaced than
those of 1885, even if they should bs
more bareheaded. -New York World.

THE Samoan Seizure.

1t is stated in Berlin on the highest au.
thority that Prince Bismarck has received
dispatches fully confirming the recent report
of the seizure of Samoa by representatives OF
Germany. Commander Weber, it is said,
had telegraphed that the old feeling of ami
mostly against Germany, resulting from the
support given by Germany to Tamasese
against Malictoa eliminated in an open
rupture necessitating the landing of force
from the German gunboat Albatross to pro-
tect the settlers until the restoration
of order. The commander is further
reported as saying that the Samoan flag
was not lowered until Malictoa had fed,
Count Won Hatzfeldt, the German ambassa
dor at London, has telegraphed to Prince
Bismarck the following dispatch handed to
him by Lord Salisbury, which was received
from Mr.. Powell, the British consul in Samoa
Commander Weber has driven the king from
the seat of government Weber hauled down
the kings flag, force from the Albatross
assisting The British and American consuls
entered a solemn protest. Their presence
alone prevented massacre of the Germans
War is imminent" A report is current that
Germany will annex Samoa.

Matrimonial Oddities.

"a while ago a couple came to be mar
ried, accompanied by the brides parents
and one or two other relatives" said To-
cal clergyman, "and | at first refused to
perform the ceremony because of the cx-
tremc youthfulness of the bride. She was
pretty little girl with light haXen hair
and blue innocent eyes, and did not APP
pear to be more than twelve or thirteen
years of age. Her parents, however, in
sisted that she was sixteen, and were very
anxious that should marry her to the
groom, a fine looking young German of
twcnty-one. The girl was more than
willing, and 1 finally consented. The
mother remarked as the knot was tied:
There! T glad its done. She mightn't "a

hope the poor little thing is happy"

came in one night with a large female of
uncertain age and apparently decided
strength of mind, and desired the usual
service. Witnesses were summoned and
the ceremony was about to begin when the
door-bcll rang twice in quick succession,
and moment after a portly, well-dressed
lady rushed brcathlcss into the room and
shouted with her last breath before sink

How Booksellers Are Robbed,

In an uptown bookstore an 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.. store with one of
these innocent-looking packages in each
hand. He stopped to look at 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 Che 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. Thu
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 or
their business. One of the boxes would
cost about $1.50.-Neo York Tribune.

There Is man in South Lewiston,
Maine, who is "a years old. Last winter he
lost the use of an eye, but did not dis
cover it until spring. He went into the
field, one day in spring time, and noticed
that things looked passing strange. He
clapped his hand to one eye, and blank
darkness cnsued. One eye was totally
blind, and the strangest part of all is
that it had not panied him, and he had
not known it before.
