at Amiens has left me lot of property

They say my uncle was insane when he

about it any way?" asked Eugene.
''They say there will be some little
trouble getting the matter settled, but
they do not doubt that l shall get the
property eventually. Still. it will take
quite sum of money to go over there

It was q sad house when Mr.. Wilcox's
body was taken from it in casket and
carried to the New York Central Depot
where it was placed on a train and con-
veyed to the New England village where
he had expressed desire TO be buried.
Mrs. Delaro and Armida accom- panied
the body, as also did Mr.. Blodger, and
as the last rites were administered that
soft-hearted old gentleman wiped away
big tears from his eyes with a f1aring

think it true that the close friend of his

DRESSING THE HAIR.
There Is No Longer One Fixed Rule or
Universal Fashion.

There Is No Longer One Fixed Rule or
Universal Fashion.
They say fashions are tending more
and more to individualism, and it is so
with hair dressing, for there is no longer
one fixed rule or universal fashion i'm
posed upon all alike, whether becoming
or not Bangs are not 'out," by any
means, though the full-facc and straight
ones have been banishcd. The STYLE
most in vogue is the "disorlerly" one,
with its loose, fluffy front, and soft coil
at the back, with little curls nesting
close to the neck. The next is the Rus
sian bang. cut straight across the middle
of the forehead and rounded at the sides,
then frizzcd. Another popular style, but
one that is becoming to but few, isthe
rolled back front with its soft, frizzy
curls at each side; while the plain
pompadour, rolling back from the face,
is still worn by the fortunate ones who
have its requisite complements-a
broad, white forehead and thick, wavy
hair.
The "Grccinn door-llnob" has been
superseded by the careless, loosely
twisted coil. or oblong coil made from
one large. flat braid, and fastened at the
back of the head with fancy pins. An
other style that many are adopting is
the fiat, small braids coiling around
each other in innumcrablc folds. and
fastened with pins in the nape of the
neck; and others, having a shapely
head. fasten the soft. twisted coil low
in the napc of the neck.
Middle-agcd and elderly ladies wear
the hair parted in the middle, and eth
err drawn down smoothly or in soft
waves at the sides, and added to the
back hair. With full-drcss toilcttes.
when becoming the hair may be dressed
high on the head. with it's braids and
putfs held in place by fancy pins. Hair
pins and sidc-combs for evening wear
are shown with gold, silver or jeweled
heads, and for common wear in tortoise
shell with pretty shaped heads

THE TRAIN DRESS.
Te Had It's Origin In tho NILE District In
Central Africa.

NcHtEstA lAEiCats
A few miles in IN uncivilized country
makes very great difference in the
dress, or, one might say, the fashions of
tho dress of n native tribe. The Dor
inhabit the Nile district Just above the
equator iii Central Africa, and, although
the kytch and other tribes enjoy state
of perfect nudity, other than the eli
matte covering of grease and dust, the
people of the Dor for that reason look
down upon them with contempt, a rea-
son that would probably not be appar-
ent to II visitor entering their village.
1t may be said to be II distinction rath-
er than n difference. The men and the
unmarried women wear IL small apron
of leather, which hangs behind them,
but which, upon the appearance of
stranger, whether native or white, is
immediately turned in front of them, as
mark Of respect. If it is desired
to affront the visitor, it is left
hanging behind. When the marriage
takes place there is no ceremony to
speak of, but the change in the social
state of the woman is noted by change
in her costume. Every morning the
married woman steps into the adjacent
forest, where there are abundance of
crecPcrS anu eVcrgrccnS with close
matted foliage, and with these She
forms her dress. A tendril passed
through the girdle in front forms
thick mat of leaves. and then several
long ones are selected, which are
fastened to the apron behind, so that
they form leafy train of ample dimcn-
sions, and SO fulfill all the purposes of
clothing. With these picturesque trains,
they perambulatc from hut to hut in
the everlasting gossip that is the vital
essence of their being; many of them
also loaded down with ornaments which
man would not care to carry for day
through, consisting of heavy strings of
beads around their waists and necks,
the most valuable being beads as large
as pigeons eggs. Heavy strings of beads
depend from their ears, and on their
wrists and round their ankles they
wear bangles, made simply of iron bars
cut to the proper length, and bent
around the limb. Some of these are
fully an inch thick, and quite solid, so
that their united weight is more than
trine. Their huts and the streets of the
villages arc miracles of cleanliness

This gives q beautiful wave move
ment, very graceful and great fun. 1t
IS the climax of forward skating, but
rather difficult and hard on the ankle
at the point where the outer curve
changes to the inner one.
After learning these curves boys can
60 on to fancy skating with it's "grape-
vines" double grapcvines," stars, -
and numbcrlcss other figures. 1t is
we'll worth while to watch a fancy
skater and learn some of them. as they
give variety in skating, and it is very
enjoyable to study the figures on
the black ice. But they take long
practice. One of the hardest, but most
satisfactory when mastered is the outer
edge backwards.
In falling when on skates always
keep. If possible, the head clear from
the ice. On its smooth surface no other
parts of the body cushioned by muscle
are likely to suffer serious injury even
if the shock seems severe.
For skating wear light clothing but
keep pretty constantly in notion The
shoes should have firm thick soles and
be tightly laced. The shoes of most bows
are apt to be loose on the lower foot,
but this can be rcmedicd by an extra
pair of wooden stockings. which should
be taken OFF instantly after getting
home. Do not use heel straps. They
bring the pressure painfully at one
point on the ankle. The right way is
to distribute that pressure over the
whole foot by tightly lacing the SHOE
