Dressing the Hair In japan.

this operation. The woman seats herself
on the floor before a round mirror made
of polished metal, and the hair dresser
sets TO work. Ii Is really quite fOrinid-
able affair, as the woman is apt 10 be
very critical and insists on each hair be-
ing arranged just so. The whole ar
rangemcnt may be described as a kind
of large bow knot, and beeswax enters
largely into the material used for the
dressing. This has the effect of making
the hair very stiff and shiny. The
reason that the peculiar pillow is so much
used is 50 that the hair may not be dis
turbed while asleep.

DIR DESTINY.

No wonder that 1t is impossible for the
Republican party 10 make headway
among the intelligent and self-respect-
ing people of the South. 1t has tried fof
years to PIT the most useful, prosperous
and intelligent element of the South un-
der the control of enfTanchised ignorance
controlled, with very few honorable
exceptions, by bands of renegades and
adventures - The State.
OF course the Republican party wanted
TO use an element that would ignorantly
bring big vote to the party of arbitrary
power without principle. But we GO hope
that the unavoidable progress OF free
American opinion has pat US beyond that
speculation on passion and war preju
dice. We know that the South Ibis mo
ment would rush to defend the honor
of the country in case OF a war, be-
cause we believe that there is a high
patriotic feeling in the hearts of the peo-
pie that neither war nor party can ride
ofer the ingrained idea common TO US all
that the American family is family Of
a great social and political faith as OPP
posed TO what we hear OF mOnarchies
and traditional aristocracy in Other lands.
The Southern men who surrendered in
1868 will bear witness to tae fact that the
soldiers on both sides understood this,
and that the issues of war even were sc
condary TO the great principles Of Wash
ington and Jefferson as soon as We knew |
that the North still acknowledged those |
principles. What is the lesson OF all |
history?
Revolutions have always been induced /
by wrongs, but the bloody conflicts have
also induced certain result, in COM
promise.
The Southern cause has put its burnt
on the altar Of war, but in GER
tain vital elements we are better off than
before even with all the suffering and
sacrifice
We are freer in higher sense OF civil
cation, and our future is allied TO the
of all mankind with politi-
al creed that secures our community in

dea and more comprehensive statesman ,

Our country is all akin, but its vast
rec trade between the States covers a

LAST DAY OF THE ExPOsTriOS.

To-day is the last day OF the first gen
eral Exposition Virginia has ever held
1t Is no exageeraiion to say that It ha
been one of the most creditable and sue
cessful enterprises OF The kind ever seer
In the United States.
This Exposition has been peculiarly
Virginisn 10 more ways than one. since
It has, throughout. been marked by the
conservatism, which Is one Of the
most striking characteristics of the
State. Started in this city less than
six months before "OpeniDg Day" with
out any fuss or buster, the necessary
money was raised, the spacious building
was erected, the exhibitors prepared and
placed their exhibits in their allotted
space, and, almost before the public was
aware Of it, when Opening Day came
there was found an Exposition, the peer
of many OF The modern Worlds Fairs"
in full blast and working as easily on the
morning of October Sd as if 1t had been
in operation Tor months before.
This is, in brief, the history of an Elk
position which is far superior to the AT
lants Cotton Exposition of 1882 SO; out
side of the Government and Mexican ex-
hibits, fully equal 10 the Worlds Exposi
ton at New Orleans in 1sS4sj, and de
cidedly ahead of any distinciively State
display which has yet been given In
the country.
The eminent success, commercially. ar.
tistically and financially, which our Vir-
ginia Exposition has attained may be at
tributed mainly to its intrinsic merits,
and it is therefore one in which not only |
the people of this State, but
of the whole South, have just
cause to feel the greatest pride. And
when this is said nothing detractive to
the merits and capacity OF the manage
ment is intended, for without the earnest
and diligent industry Of President Stsrke,
