About thirty-tive years ago schools girls
in this country wore similar plaits, tied at
the end with bows of ribbon, which the
naughty little boys-the gamn Of those
days-delighted to pull with u sharp jerk.
BY this cursory glance at the held-Sear
of other days and other lands 1t will be seen
that former hair dressing is not tradition,
but has always been esteemed and practic-
ed. Upon continual hair dressing
weighty and interesting volume might be
written. A few ofthe old French and En-
glish styles were graceful and quantity pref
ty but most of them were hideous.
Among them may be numbered thu mel
ancholy looking bands of hair brought
straight down each side of the face and
twisted round the ear or fastened 10 the
back and surmounteJ by an equally sad
looking band OF velvet ribbon to keep 1t IN
place; the solitary, lonesome seeming curl
dangling over either.
Later, particularly during the reign OF
the Empress Eugenie, many elegant and
becoming coitfures were introduced, but
since the downfall of that beautiful and
gentle lady, hair dressing gradually deter
forated until scarcely suggestion OF
ceitfure worthy OF the name remained.
This absence of couture was never ap.
proved by ladies of know edged taste and
judgment, and the innovation which has
recently occurred in har dressing by the
introduction of new and beautiful styles,
designed to improve the appearance and
judiclously display the hair, has been re-
ceived, not only by the leaders of fashion,
but by ladies generally, with the highest
favor. Hair dressers are besieged with
questions from their fair customers as to
the new modes, and their def ringers
promise to be kept constantly employed in
arranging the various aud artistic GtS les

y Digging for RubieS,

From the New York Sun.
1t isreported from London that the
Rothschilds are about to organize a
company to work the great ruby
mines of Burmah. This little patch
of earth, having an area of only 80
square miles, was the one spot in his
dominions which King Thebaw would
never permit white man to ap-
proach. Even under the rude native
system of mining. Thebaw derived
an income of 100000 a year from
the mines After the fall OF Manda-
lay. Indian troops we're sent 100
miles north of that capital to take
possession ofthe ruby district, which
has since been leased to native
miners, the income being used to
help defray the cost of the British
occupancy.
There have been loud complaints
that the Government lost a chance
to derive a large revenue from the
mines when it declined Lord Duffer-
ms proposal to lease them to a
syndicate. If the Rothschilds have
now got a foothold there, it is GER
tain that the new rulers of Burmah
expect to make a good thing by
granting a concession to the great
capitalists.
The possibilities of the ruby mines
ofBurmah are yet to be ascertained.
We know that the largest ruby ever
found there was escorted from the
Kings palace to the river, on it's way
to Europe, by u military guard, and
that it was sold in London for
800, 900. The gems lie in thin
stratum from 10 to 30feet below the
surface, and when this earth is lifted
in rude buckets and spread on the
ground myriads ofsmall rubies glist-
en- in the sun. Most of them are too
small to be of value, and are thurst
aside in eager search for larger
stones. Comparatively for rubies
are found that, in color. size and
freedom from flaws, answer all the
requirements of a first-class gem.
But when such a stone is discovered,
it is a treasure; and experts tell us
that q three-carat ruby OF the best
quality is worth eight to ten times
as much as the finest diamond of the
same weight. Most OF the market
able Burmese rubies are imperfect,
but they are among the finest in the
world; indeed. we are told by dealers
that large rubies of perfect color and
f1aVless are almost unknown.

A Terrible Experience.

La Porte Herald.
Africa contains over 100000
miles in area, and has more than
200, OOO, 900, inhabitants. In such
a vast and almost unknown country
thrilling adventures are of everyday
occurrence, and the traveller, hunter
and explorer is subject to perils pc
culiar to Africa alone. Of such was
the experience of Mr.. Deane, one of
the agents of the Congo Free State.
He was in command of Stanley Falls
station, when twas attacked by the
Arabs. Deane, with his comrade
Dubois and four Haussa soldiers, fed
from the station, and it was not
long before Dubois fell into the river
and was drowned. Deane and his
soldiers pushed on all night in a
drenching rain, and only stopped at
daylight for q short rest. While
Deane's clothes were hanging on the
bushes to dry, shout in the rear
told them that they were discovered
and that the Arabs were in hot pur-
suit. Dcane had just time to throw
his clothes over his arm and start at
full speed through the bush, followed
by his attic Edants. 1t was near
ly noon before they succeeded in
distancing their pursuers, and by
that time it was Il most wOebegOne
band of fugitives. In the mad race
for life, every Hausa had lost his
gun and not weapon of any sort
was left in the party. One by one
Deane had dropped his garments and
he had nothing LEFT except a small
military cape, which he threw over
his shoulders. In the midst of an
African jungle he had not the slight
est protection for his bleeding feet,
and even if he had saved his boots
he would not have dared to put them
on, for the tracks would have been
instantly revealed to any prowling
Arab or hostile native that Il white
man was in the neighborhood. A
! cannibal tribe, with whom Deane
himself had had IL serious fight, lined
the river below, and he dared not
appeal to them for succor. He was
about 800 miles from the nearest
white station at Bangala. All that
could be done was to struggle down
the river, through the dense bush
and forests, several miles inland,
avoiding all the tribes, except one or
two that were known to be friendly,
and living on whatever they could
pick up that would afford nutriment
I For four weeks the white castaway
wandered through the country, liv-
ing on wild grapes, fried ants and
caterpillars, and sleeping at night on
the bare earth. with no covering but
dried leaves. At last they came to
the Baknum tribe. and shortly after
wards were rescued by Captain Co.
quilhart, who had been sent in search
of Deane. 1t was an experience that
not one white man in a thousand
could have liked to relate.

vic..presiden. Wilson'S Vow.

After Mr.. Wilson's first election to the
United States Senate he gave his friends q
dinner at q noted Boston hotel. The table
was set with not one wine-glass upon it.
"Wnere are the glassesY' asked several OF
the guests, loud enough to remind their
host that they did not hike sitting down to o
wineless dinner.
s.Gentlemen," said Mr.. Wilson, rising and
speaking with great deal of feeling, ''yOu

tions to you. Great as they are, they are
not great enough to make me forget the rock

senator that men admire the man who has

Jockeys attached to the leading stables are
paid salaries ranging from $4,000 to $l2, 900 q
, year. They are also allowed to ride in
races where their employer does not run
any horse. The fee for a jockey in q race is
$40 If he loses and $25 If he wins. Very
often. though. If jockey wins big race
the owner of the horse will give him good
! sized bill.
James Mclaughlin until last year was
, thought to be one of the richest jockeys in
the country. He was earning salary of
$4,000 year and making about as much
more by accepting outside mounts. Then
he was the jockey for the best stable in this
country, and, although he did not bet
heavily, he frequently placed small
amount on what he thought was a good
thing.
The premier jockey in this country is
"Lucky" Baldwin's rider, Isaac Murphy.
Murphy has for several years had the best
riding average Of any jockey. He has also
been receiving the highest salary paid to
making probably $4,000 year more riding
outside mounts. "Ike" as he is familiarity
called, is the model jockey. He never bets,
and says he never made a bet in his life.
He never drinks intoxicating liquor, does
not swear and never tells lie.

is usually caIled-is worth about $50, ZOO.

for some of the larger owners. Last year
he won fifty mine out of III races in which
he had mounts and netted for his employ
ers $98,97S While he has been riding he
has probably won about S450,0O0.
''Pikey" Barnes was the most sensational
jockey of last year. He is just boy 10
years old anC as black as charcoal. HIS
winnings last year were phenomenal. He
rode Proctor Knott in the junior champion
and tuturity and won $6l ,S35. Barnes
commenced riding In New Orleans last
January.
Daredevil" Fitzpatrick has won many
races and great deal OF money, but is not
worth much money now.
w. DoRohue is one of the wealthiest
jockeys on the turf. lie has about $3.50 600
in various securities. For years he rode
for George Lorillard, and although he did
not receive very large salary, as salaries
! 60 now, he was well paid.
W. Hayward is the best all-round jockey
in this country. tie has been riding here
since 1857. Hay is very comfortably
off.
George Anderson, popularity known as
"The Spider" was very successful last
year. He rode in 294 and won 10 of item.
lie made fair amount OF money and spent
most of it.
Charles Shauer rides very seldom now.
He has won fortune OF about $50, goo and
is now handling the horses OF Mr.. Galway
in the Preakness stable.

pair of them once. He was waiting
with a crowd of passengers on the
French frontier ofItaly, all under or

single file. The Emperor Napoleon
had been warned about some pro-
jected attempt by carbonari, and a
special agent had been dispatched
from Paris to examine every passen-

agent were absolutely different from
those of any human being the

"The Evil Eye''

The original source of most super
stitions, and ofallidolatries in which
the IDOLS not deliberately manufact-
ured by human hands, is now reccg
nized to be the sense OF surprise, of
sudden fear. or admiration, felt by
the "untutored mind" as the LicE-
field school would have called it, for
anything unusual. 1t may be a
remarkable tree, or rock with a
defined form, or an oddly-shaped
stone, or q shell with its eonvolutions
reversed, or a curious fruit like the
coco-de mer; hut it strikes the savage
imagination and is thenceforward
surrounded by some of the instinct
i've awe felt for the supernatural. A
regular worship, as Sir Alfred Lyall
has shown, often grows up round
such a curiosity, or it becomes, as in
the case of the shaligram, sacred
over q great tract of the world and
among entire races of mankind.
Now, nothing is more frequently
unusual, or SO to speak, surprising,
than the human eye, which varies, in
occasional cases, from the normal
type to q degree that has never yet
been quite satisfactorily explained.
Why is one eve fishv, while another
flashes fire? There are eyes which
do literally ''beam," and they SO
common as to have given rise to u
separate description in most Ian
guages; there are eyes which in anger
seem to emit light from within-Mr
Gladstone's do-there are eyes,
generally steel gray in Europe, but
often black in Asia, which never
cease to menace, even when the face
is gentle or at ease, aud there are
