The Hair In Cold Weather.

During the cold season the hair is gen.
orally cut too short; the ears are exposed.
The cold winds not only produce buzzing
and roaring In them, but often injure the
hearing. While the weather is cold the
ears should be covered. The natural pro-
lection and tho best one Is the hair. But
the common nakedness OF the back OF the
neck is still more mlschievous. Leaving
that vital part exposed to the extreme
changes OF our climate produces innumer-
able weak eyes and irritable throats.
Women are most fortunate In the present
style. That fashion which hangs the hair
upon the back OF the neck is not only ar
tistic. but physiological. During cold
weather men should allow their hair to
meet the coat-collar.-Dr. Lewis.

PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.
The Full Text Appointing the Annual
Day of Rejoicing.

The full text of the Presidents Thanks
giving proclamation is as follows:
Bv the President Of the United States Of
America:
A PROCLAMATION.
IL is n very glad incident of the mar
vellous prosperity which has crowned the
year now drawing to n close that its help
full and reassuring touch has been felt by
all our people. Ii has been as wide as our
country, and so special that every home
has felt its comforting influence. II is too
great TO be the work of mans power and
too particular to be the device Of his mind.
To God, the beneficent and the all-wise,
who makes the labor of man to be fruitful,
redeems their losses by his grace, and the
measure of whose giving is as much be-
yond the thoughts of man as IL Is beyond
his deserts, and the praise and gratitude
of the people Of this favored nation are
justly due.
Now, therefore, I, BENJAMIN Harrison,
President of the United States Of America,
do hereby appoint Thursday. the 26th day
of November, present, to be day of joyful
thanksgiving TO God for the bounties of
his providence, for the peace in which we
are permitted to enjoy them, and for the
preservation of those institutions OF civil
and religious liberty which he gave our
fathers the wisdom to devise and establish
and us the courage to preserve. Among
the appropriate observances OF the day are
rest from toll, worship in the public con-
gregation. the renewal of family ties
about our American firesides, and thought
full helpfulness toward those who suffer
lack of the body or of the spirit.
In testimony whereof, l have hereunto
set my hand, and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.

him week to get his frames back, and
then they had all to be repaired. The mats
on the etchings had disappeared and had
TO be replaced. The borrower in this case
not only never made an apology for the
outrage, but had the cheek TO call on the
victim for another slaughter of his collec-
tion, which the victim had the courage TO
refuse. A lady who loaned her collection
of fans and old lace TO a charity show got
her property back short fan and several
pieces of antique lace. She expostulated
and was told that the committee could not
help it, Beside, one of them had the au-
dacity TO add it was in the cause of
charity. And after all risks aud damages
have been incurred, what is the victims
reward III. O. Havermeyer loaned the
Metropolitan Museum group of the mo-
blest old masters i'm this country aud one
of the noblest in any private collection in
the world. This season he reclaimed them
and hung them i'm his own house, and To
judge by the newspapers and the express
sions of private opinion he, who for several
years has been benefactor to the public
is guilty of despoiling il Things are bad
enough in this way in our New York
loan exhibitions. When IL comes 10 those
which levy on New York for contributions
they are outrageous Last year collec-
tor was induced to loan a half a dozen
masterpieces 10 the ST. Louis exposition
They were returned to him after three or
frames and an express charge OF over 500
on them.
Surprise has been expressed at the small
prices brought at the sale of paintings by
Nerestchagin, the Russian, who is said TO
have become mad in consequence of dis
eased vanity and wounds received I'm the
Turco- Rus sian war. The reason thai they
brought small prices was undoubtedly be
cause they were not popular subjects, Few
owners of galleries would care to be CON
fronted daily with a crucificticn or hang
ing or n bloody field of battle or u hospital
or a dead house. And fewer still have
room 90 hang works Of such humping
size as these. The obvious place is in
museum, and IL Is hoped the Metropolitan
museum of art will eventually get the best
OF them.

riote antiquities i'm New York is recalled

general of the NapoleOnic wars, Lasalle,
whose remains have Just been inferred In
the Invalidcs, had a statute erected To
him long ago. but some of the commu-
nists Knocked the head Oft aud the head of
another statue was screwed on i'm its
place. Mr.. Bapst, OF Paris, denies the
charge and says that eig " years ago
Napoleon ordered that statues of eight
generals, including Lasalle-who were
killed In nctiou-should he placed on

The memorials were intended as compli-
ments OF the emperor To the "grande
