'Tis our nature" said Mr.. Wolf, "to

sized the fact that on the Fourth Of
July the people closed their various
business houses and reioiced without

fact that public sentiment was the ami.

law how great would be the success of
the Sunday movement if public senti-
ment ran in that direction" 1t is his
belief that persons do not condemn as
heartily as they should. "The barber,
although closing his place of business,
goes from hotel TO hotel, house to
house, his pocket full of razors, scis-
sors, etc, performing his occupation
without causing the least comment.
Thus we become race of hypocrites.
The speaker then called attention to
the fact that daily the newspapers are
filed with notices Of arrest for selling
liquor on Sunday, which tends to edu-
cate people not to respect the law.
"But," said he, II am afraid we seek
a remedy where none can be found"

free and unrestricted acknowledgment
OF the day as day of rest and praise.
Touching the race question. he ex.
pressed the view that as cloud upon

small black cloud upon our political
horizon was the harbinger of Ill omen.

"Respectability, he said, "has no
color" On the subject of immigra-
tion he said he knew many foreigners,
representing nearly every nation, who,
upon the first hostile gun fred by their
respective governments, would prove
traitors Lastly he spoke of the divorce
laws, regretting that in one country
there should be so many different
laws; then, with devout hope that all
the holy ideas regarding the reverence
Of the Sabbath be realized, he closed.

After the usual Friday evening SER

street last night the Hon. Simon Wolf
took the pulpit to address the small
but appreciative congregation upon
the greatly agitated question of the
Sunday observance and the slight re-
gard Of the laws, both civil and moral
concerning il. In his opening remarks
he wished the hearers to understand
that he did not speak as Jew, as a
sectarian, but as free citizen of the
United States, stating the various
points of law in force and stating that

TO protect the people of the District.

The Connection Between Poetry and
 Bombing the Hair.

The Connection Between Poetry and
 Bombing the Hair.
 Most people would be incredulous if they were told that there was any con nection between combing the hair and poetry. There is, however, and the au- thority for the statement is no less a parsonage than Isaac Vossius, learned but rather eccentric Dutch scholar, who was canon at Windsor Castle under Charles II. It is said of him that though he was preacher he believed in every thing except the Bible, and though ho knew every language of Europe ho could not speak one of them correctly This in itself was enough to distinguish him from the common herd, but he also had the good fortune to be at poet though possibly bad one. He wrote verses which luckily did not survive him long, and he was also the author of a Latin treatise on rhythm. Some copies of this curious volume, published at Ox- ford in 1873, are still in existence. From 1t we learn that Vossius took peculiar delight in having his hair combed in q measured or rhythmial manner. He refers to this semi-intellectual, semi physical pleasure as follows: Many people take delight in the rubbing Of their limbs, and the comblng of their hair; but these exercises would delight much more if the servants at the baths, and of the barbers, were so skillful in this art that they could express any measure with their fingers remem- Der that more than once have fallen into the hands of men of this sort, who could initiate any measure of songs in combing the hair, so as sometimes to ex- press very intelligibly iambics, trochees, dactyls, and so on, from whence there arose to me no small delight" Vossius died February 10, 1888.

 The trying ordeals which fashionable soci- ety imposes on it's devetees are enough to severeiy test the physical strength and en. durance of the most robust. Irregular and late hours, over-rich and indigestible food, late suppers, the fatigue of the bail-room' the bad air of the illy-ventilated, over crowded theatre, are each, in themselves, sufficient to upset the system and ruin the health of the delicate and sensitive.
