FASHIONS In
HAIR-DRESSING.
Styles Are Becoming Almost as
Varied as the Faces.
The Mode Of the Season, Just Out, Is the
Couture Artistic Which Promises to Be-
come a Favorite-Evening Wear.
Written for THE SUNDAY CALL.

tFSI FEW years ago so little interest was
Aa manifested by ladies in the arrange
INV ment of their hair that the hair
dressers fea red their occupation well nigh
gone, and the art itself seemed booked for a
here Dame Fashion happily came to the
rescue. and in her usual peremptory way
instituted new order of couture, the out
come OF which is that we now see glossy
plaits, graceful coils and twists and the
fluffiest and most coquetish of bangs, taking
the place OF the careless backknot and sim
pie fringe which once sufficed for ALL
And the styles are becoming almost as
varied as the faces they crown and adOrn.
That there are so many styles from which a
lady may choose is of infinite benefit to
those who care to make the most of their
attractions, for assuredly one way of dress
ing the hair cannot be becoming alike to all
casts of features.
A couture which may give an indescriba-
Bile charm to an oval face will detract from
the good looks of one whose features are
cast in larger and broader mold. For
this reason both the high and low couture
are, and will continue, in style.
10 some the high couture is particularly
becoming, and by these it win continue to
be worn, with such changes as may be in
tr0duced from time to time.
But the low couture seems to have
achieved the happy medium of meeting the
requirements OF the majority of ladies, and
is by far the most fashionable. In fact one
sees ten heads dressed in the latter to one in
the former style. 1t is also more comforta-
bic and is adapted to both day and evening
wear.
BRAIDS AND TWISTS.
The low couture consists of braids and
twists arranged to fall low enough to just
escape the collar aud is then brought up to
the crown of the head, and presents tidy
and most graceful appearance.
This simple mode ornamented with shell
combs or pins is equally suited for home or
street, and for full-dress occasions, when

WHAT TO DRINK,

WHAT TO DRINK.
 What shall man drink, that is, what shall he drink if he isn't satisfied with water, milk, tea, coffee, and other more or less harmless beverages. A number of the most prominent physicians of this country have recently been questioned concerning this important matter and their replies are inter- esting.
 Of course the doctors disagree. Some favor weak drinks and some favor strong drinks. The former hold that claret or light native wines. or beer, containing so small @ percentage of alcohol as to be in moderate quantities non-intoxicating, are the safest. There is good deal of force in their posi- tion, but an equally influential section hold that stronger drinks, such as rum, brandy and whisky, are safer, if they can be ob- tainable in reasonably pure form. Of these liquors it is of course true that they intro duce less ''wash" into the system, put less heavy strain upon the digestive organs, con- duce less to obesity, and are certainly not more liable to adulteration. Yet 1t cannot be denied that they are far more intoxicating and that the taste for them is more likely to grow into incompetence and abuse.
 So an old question still remains unsettled. Those who conclude not to drink either weak or strong alcoholic drink will be on the u~Sn eide

PEssIMIsT VIEW OF WORK
A Revolt Against Industry.
 From the London Spectator.I

From the London SpectatorI
 The extraordinary pessimism of the French about all that relates to labor has been a subject of remark for the last thirty years. They appear unable to conceive of toll as of anything but crushing and even degrading burden, beneath which men may, indeed, display patience or submission, but can nev- CT feel joy, or, except in the case of the rar- est temperaments, which are despised for their possession of the quality, even careless content. In French literature the workman is always oppressed, always in want, always slave to destiny which Is never less than passively hostile. The artisan suffers, the peasant endures, and both arc sad or gloomy or sordid, not from any volition of their own, but under the pressure of an insxorab1e fate. Not only does the idealist describe the work CT as kind of God-forgotten victim, and the realist depict him as . sort of bsast too nearly animal to be responsible for his vile ness, but the painter, even when he is, like Millet, man of religious fervor, shows him always bending beneath the weight of care, or, as in "The Sower," incurably ssddened by the work with which, in spite of the birds which follow his footsteps and eat up hali his seed, he :teadfastly perseyerss; How
 
 ! appears in little story told in the St. James Gazette of Monday last. The Frsnch acade my gives . prize of four thousand francs ev- l cry year for the best copy of vsrses fo, which 1t suggssts the subject. This year Il was "Labor," and of all the two hundred and more poets who struggled for the prize
 not one had treated tho subject from any other point of view than that of pesrimism All dwslt on the painful toilsomeness oi manual work, and not one on tho satisfac- tion 1t produces, or even, 1t would seem, or l the healthfulness of body and the sweet
 sleep 1t necessarily yields. Labor is. in fact
 to the writers, an object either of abhorreno' l or of the kind of pity stirred by physiea
 misfortune. We think VIC notice rapit
 spresd of the same feeling in England, not
 indeed, among the poets, but among writerl the lot of East Finders e If they nevsr coul'
 enjoy anything; and among the journalists who reserve all their softest sentimsnts fo

 NEW YORK, June 22, 1666. MKssRs. CASE BROTHERS:
 Gents-I desire to add my testimony In favor of your "Tonica Water'' as an invaluable tonic, spe- cidc remedy and speedy relief for Kidney troubles. For severel years have been under treatment by variouY physicians without benefit. and without any decided conclusion e to the true nature of my disease, until about six months since on being attacked with vomiting, vertigo and OK treme presentation, Q test then made by pr. H. Hol- brook Curtis showed my ailmoat to bs mellitus dia betes, twenty-five grs. sugar to the oz., specific gravity 1oss. and quantity of urine about four and the use of various sDscfacs. experienced no improvement and after spendinR much of my time on my back with extreme weakness for i've months my attention was called by friend to the cure of Q similar case by tho use of Tonica Water, who, among other things, said "it is worth gold dollar for every drop of the diabstic." As an experiment. immediately ordered dosen quart bottles of before each meal and at bed time, the benefits from which were immediate in increased strength and appetite, and by the time had used one dolen bottles resumed ordinary exercise without fa- tiguey and now, after six weeks, and on further tests, find reduction in sugar of twenty per cent. and urine reduced to about 0ne-half with strength restored, bowels regulated, thirst satisfied, and all other symptoms usual to the diabetic greatly re- lieved. and 1t gives mo great pleasure in recom- mending the use of c simple remedy from which have experienced so much good in such brief persd and continue If If found necessary am d under , an please send Q copy of the Highland News.

THE NEGRO,S PRlVILEeEs.

THE NEGaRO,S PRIVILEGES.
 The negro apparently has some rights that he can use in some parts of the South. Some time ago . negro took seat in one of the cars of the Richmond and Danville Railroad company. When the conductor came along he produced tickat The conductor told him he would have to pay twenty-five cents extra. He ished the quarter from his pocket and handed 1t over, remarking as he did so: sThe road will never see that money" Thereupon the conductor gave him thrash ing. The assaulted and battered passenger brought an action for damages against the railroad company, and last month Georgia jury awarded him $700. >
 In some rsoent speeches in Boston there was talk about the exclusion of the negro from first class railroad coaches, and of the injustice and oppression of shutting him out of the public libraries. The St. Louis Re. comforts that are denied the factory workers of Massachusetts, and they are treated more generously than are the wage-workers in any New England State. When they travel they sit on velvet-cushioned seats in coaches pan- elled in the finest hard woods. If the white people ride in another and similar or even better car, is the difference in the quality of the velvet au oppressiona If 1t is, the white people have only to be convinced of it to exchange coaches. The public library charge is ridiculous. The South is no. rich enough yet to have many public libraries. But we venture to say that if any decent negro in the South goes to his nearest white neigh. bor's, rich or poor, and asks for the loan Of any useful book, he will get 1t at once, If 1t Is in the power of the white neighbor to lend or give it. The white people of the South have the Anglo-Saxon temper, but they are kind hearted and generous.
 This is all very pleasant. It is to be hoped that eventually the people of the South will be good enough to the negro to let him vote and to count his vote.

magazine his opinions of London, derived from his Jubilee visit. Speaking of London
 clubs he says: "One thing that froze the blood in my veins about all those clubs ia
 that the members go and come without the slightest sign of recognizing one another. They are all members of one club, but, so far from being acquainted. they appear to hate one another" Referring to the queens
 drawing-room he remarks: "The faces were heavenly and the forms lovely. Diamonds | shone on heads and breasts. and some of the
 ladies were SO beautiful as to be the pride of England and even the human race."
 The Bombay government has found it nec- essary to issue an ordinance regulating the expenses that may be incurred for native
 wedding in the Kadva Kanbi caste in the
 district of Kairsa, where peculiarly expensive
 customs have prevailed. According to these
 regulations only 100 rupees' worth of cocoA- nuts are to be distributed at the marriage procession, and the payment at the cere- mony, when the bridegroom touches with his finger his mother-in-law's dress, is not to exceed two rupees. The brides family may
 
 there be more than twenty-five guests at each. Only thirty rupees may be spent when
 the marriage party visits the brides village, nor is the bridegroom to receive more than two rupees when he is invited to his father- in-law's house.
 Mir. Reed, says the Washington Star, is not 50 unpopular on the Democratic side of l the house as some of the recent episodes in the proceedings would indicate. It was sel-
 dom, when he was on the floor as leader on
 the Republican side, that he was ever seen l on the Democratic side conyersing with
 members of that party. Now it is fre-
 quent occurrence for the speaker, when not
 occupying the chair, to drop into 8 seat
 among the Democrats and converse on topics
 relating to affairs in the house. In this way he keeps himself posted at first hand of the
 real state of feeling among the minority. He
 does not depend on rumor and speculation as
 a source of information in regard to the tenn
 per of the opposition. Speaker Read, the
 presiding officer, Is much more genial and
 approaehable parsonage than Mr. Reed when occupying seat on the floor. There is
 hardly any personal hostility, even on the
 Democratic side, toward him, though a score
 of wits among the minority are at all times
 ready to lock horns with him on parliament
 tary questions and denounce his rulings.

 The Prussian landtag has been considering the overcrowded condition of the Prussian schools and the pressing need of more teach- CTS. The lack of teachers has caused tre- menduous increase in the size of the classes and a corresponding deterioration in the amount of instruction received by each child. In the last ten years 1,5e0,000 Prus- sian children have been taught in classes of 70 to 100, and 600,000 in classes of 100 to 16O. In 1886 almost 12, 900 children had no teachers at all.
