Follies OF Dress.

The people who long for a sensible
style of dress may Justly complain
that the fashions OF the present day
do not satisfy their ideals. They may,
however, cultivate a reasonable
amount OF gratitude for the blessings
they really enjoy in that direction, by
casting q backward glance at thefash-
ions OF the last century. Says Mary
h'rampton, whose journal furnishes
one OF the mirrors by which we may
study by-sone manners and. customs:
In 1880, everybody wore powder
and pomattm, and alarge triangular
thing called cushion, to which the
hair was frizzea up, with three or foul
enormous curls on each side.
The higher, the pyramid OF hair,
gauze and feathers was carried, the
more fashionableit was thought to be,
and such was the labor employed in
rearing thefabric, thatnight-caps were
made in proportion to it, and covered
over the hair, immense black pins,
powder, pomatum and all, ready for
the next day. Twenty-four pins was
by no means an unusual number to
wear to bed.
The perfection of figure, according to
the fashion OF the time, lay in the
smallness of the circumference into
which ones unfortunate waist could
be compressed, and many a poor girl
hurt her health very materially by
trying to rival the reigning beauty of
that day, the Duchess OF Rutland, who
was said to squeeze herself to the size
Of an orange and.a half.
In 1901, says, the same writer, all
the gentlemen wore queues or tails, of
considerable length and thickness near
the head ,dwindling by degrees towards
the extremity: the whole, well-plaster-
ed and powdered; they W iole also, great
curls, frizzed, powdered. and poma-
tumed, lat the ears.
I Ladies wore their hair flowing down
their backs, and high in front, with
much ponatum and powder. put on
with different kinds OF puffs.. This
powder was applied at Assistance. that
every hair might be frosted with it.
One pound and sometimes two OF
powder were often put into the hair,
or wasted In the room in. one dressing.

path.
The soft rays Of eevenings,ln came
gently through the trees and had left
the upper part of the shrubbery in
semitwilight. The evening hymn OF
praise Of the birds had in it a solem-
nifty not often in their songs; the flow
ers gave forth a perfume like that OF
incense in some high and sacred cere.
mony in a spacious cathedral.
The Light tones were dropped, as by
those who suddenly enter chamber
wherein Death sits enthroned.
Coming nearer they beheld Major
Arson kneeling by the seat, reverently
supporting a dropping form. and gaz-
ing with a look OF sadness, almost
despair, on q pallid face and closed
eyes, that rested on his shoulder. But
on that face was a smile-a smile that
was the seal ofeverlasting peace. Yes,
thank Heaven, everlasting peace!

Jeff Davis and General T,,omas

II know said Mrs General Thorn.
as, "the General felt most keenly, es-
pecially during the early years OF the
war, that he was regarded with suspi-,
cion by many, becausehe was a Virgin
ian. Nor can any one realize as do
how perfectly loyal and devoted he
was in every act, word, and thought.
He was born in Southampton County.
Virginia, In 1916. Nearly all his
friends and family connections were
fully committed to the cause of the
South, though he had no relatives
nearer than cousins in the Confeder-.

4 General who Has Seen Service.

Maj. Gen. Prendergast who brought
victory to British arms. in Burmah,
won the Victoria cross. when he had
barely attained his majority. He was
educated at the military academy
maintained by the historic East India
company land had been only a year or
two In active service when the great
mutiny began. For gallant services
he was promoted to the staff of Sir
Hugh Rose The following stirring in
cident at Jhansi is given as authentic:
While the British were pressed back
ward by the enemy until reinforce
ments arrived, O wounded sergeant.
badly hurt, fell of his horse, and the
swarthy sepoys swarmed oyer him
like wolves to finish their work. They
counted their victory too soon. Lieut..
Prendergast's command was nearly
lOOyards away from the wounded man
and had been ordered to fall back bat
hold their ground, and wait for a
highland battalion to come up before
continuing the advance, for the force at
his front was too heavy to be driven
without aid. AT the head OF his, col
umn he heard the shout, not unSs
like the scream OF g. wounded tiger,
with which the frenzied Pandiesle aped
upon their prey. 1t was twenty to
one, but the man who had been the
heaviest hitter of his class at school,
and was the best athlete and gymnast
in India, did not hesitate moment.
! AS the honest sergeant's English face
| sank down among the black ones he
saw his lieutenant start, and he knew
no more until they were both dragged
| out from under a heap OF dead, whose
heads bore sign-manuel one would
! scarcely dare to see. "This is the sort
OF thing they give us to risk our lives
with, !" said Prendergast, looking at his
bent and twisted sword, bloodstained
to the hilt, with which he had cut
down six Of the enemy before his COM
pany came to his assistance. The
Pandies were SO intent upon their
work that they did mot see the aven-
ger until, with mighty baekhander,
he Glove to the throat one who was
just raising bis rasor-edged tulwar to
! give the bleeding sergeant his death
stroke. With thirteen cold-steel
wounds he wsas 3 sight to see, and to-
day Prendergasss' s left arm bears the
ineifacable effects OF that morning,
twenty nine YEARS ago, under the walks
! OF Jhansi.
