THE NEGRO QUESTION.
Cardinal Gibbons Says the Solution Is r.

Cardinal Gibbons Says the Solution Is Re-
ngious Instruction.
In his appeal for aid In behalf of the negro
and Indian missions, Cardinal Gibbons said
at Baltimore: ''There are now about seven
millions of negroes in the United States, and
the negro question has become serious prob
lem to the American people. The best solu-
ton of the problem, in my judgment, will be
found in Christianizlng the negroes. In some
sections of the country, If reports are true,
their religion has degenerated into kind of
fetishism, and is entirely emotional, devoid
OF all religious restraints and obligations.
The negro race are naturally religious people.
Thev are kind, affeetionate and grateful, sub
missive to authority, and their conduct to-
ward the close of the war, when they had the
power to do mischief, was above all praise.
BY proper religious and Christian instruction
they are sure to become a most useful element
In the community" The congregation made
generous response to the appeal of the
Cardinal.

A marriage celebration in Algeria is

A marriage celebration in Algeria is
an interesting relic of ancient customs.
The bridegroom goes to bring the
bride, and the guests assembled out
side the house will wait for his COM
ing. Soon the sound of pipes is heard
coming from the summit of some
neighboring hill. and the marriage pro-
cession approaches the bridegroom's
house. The pipers always come first
in the procession, then the bride
muffled up in veil, riding mule led
by her lover. Then comes a bevy of
gorgeously dressed damsels, sparkling
with silver ornaments, after which the
friends of tie bride follow. The pro-
cession stops in front of the BRIDE
groom's house, and the girls friends
line both sides of the pathway. The
pipers march off on one side, while the
bridegroom lifts the girl from the mule
and holds her in his arms. The girls
friends thereupon throw earth at the
bridegroom when he hurries forward
and carries her over the threshold of
his house. Those about the door beat
him with olive branches, amid much
laughter.
In the evening, on such occasions,
the pipers and drummers are called in,
and the women dance, two at time,
facing each other, nor does couple
desist until, painting and exhausted,
they step aside to make room for
another. The dance has great energy
of movement, though the steps are
small and changes of position slight,
the dancers only circling round oc-
casionally. But they swing their
bodies about with an astonishing en-
ergy and suppleness. AS leaves flutter
before the gale, so do they vibrate to
the music: they shake; they SILVER
and tremble; they extend quivering
arms, wave wells, and their minds
seem lost in the abandon and frenzy |
of the dance, while the other women,
looking on, encourage by their high,
piercing, trilling cries, which add to
the noise of the pipes and drums.
To the traveller, the scene is one
not alone of interest but full of a
wierd and strange fascinat on that alb
serbs the mind and attention.

In my life l have known many
women. Among them is a fair ma
iority of what the truly appreciative
would call happy, for which fact L
thank God, as it has helped me to
take, on the whole, a hopeful view of
life, as we'll as of human nature. Now
are these women, blessed as many of
them are with devoted husbands,
cheerful homes, cultivated society, and
leisure for the exercise of any special
talent they may possess, beautiful
women? With one or two exceptions,
no. Indeed, more than few of them
are positively plain, if feature only is
considered, while from the rest L can
single out but two or three whose
faces and figures conform to any of
the recognized standards of physical
perfection. But they are loved, they
are honored, they are deferred to.
While not ehciting the admiration of
every passer-by, they have acquired
through the force, the sweetness, or
originality of their character, the APP
probation of those whose appreciation
confers honor and happiness, and con-
sequently, their days pass in an atmos-
phere of peace and good will which is
as far above the delirious admiration
accorded to the simply beautiful, as
the placid shining of the sunbeam is to
the phenomenal blaze of an evanescent
flame.

like a shoe brush, complexion like a

with one another and five-cent cheese
cloth for dress, but muffed in white
or printed cloth robe, lined or quilted
with pale satin, and bordered with
ermine, fox or lamb, she will look well.

trimmed with Angora lamb, the robe

is any sort of needlewoman a saving

esteemed in their neighborhood. The

They remind us of the onions, that
make us weep, but that we love all the

In all the large cities there are
thousands of women who give them
selves up to the habit Of using pernici-
Gus drugs-the most common vice being
the opium habit. Some women buy
the crude gum and eat it regularly every
day, while others buy laudanum and
drink it in quarter-ounce, half-ounce,
and even ounce portions. Some deli
cate stomachs cannot take laudanum,
and so paregoric is resorted to,
and soothing syrups, that are put
upon the market for the soothing
of babies, become the ruin of
grown persons. And then there are
the Dover powders and morphine pills,
both of which act rapidly, especially
the latter. The habit seems more a
disease than a vice, for the whole
nature of the victim undergoes COM
plete revolution, moral, mental, and
physical.

Four hundred hairs Of average
thickness would cover an inch of
space on woman's head. The blonde
has about 140, 900 filaments to comb
and brush, while the red-haired beauty

Few ladies consider that they carry
some forty or fifty miles of hair on
their head; the tair-haired may even
have to dress seventy miles of threads
of gold every morning. A German
experimentalist has proved that a sim
gle hair will suspend four ounces
without breaking, stretching under the
process and contracting again. But
the hair thus heavily weighted must be
dark brown, for blonde hair breaks
down under two and one-half ounces.
