The Glory of a Woman.

'The glory Of woman is her hair" we are
told, says the New York Ledgef but that de-
pends in some measure upon the way in which
she wears it. If, as is the custom of some
women. she brushes it backward from her fore
head, and them after stretching the fbers to
the tension of fiddle Strings at concert PITCH
Delays the frightened mass behind her ears. we
must say that the appearance her head presents
is anything but glorious. By what technical
name this frightful Arrangement is known we
do not know. but it might appropriately enough
be called the comet9ry style. The ''hOrrid
halr' OF a comet is always drawn back at
right angle from its facial line by reason of the
speed at which it travels; but why any female
star OF fashion should emulate that erratic
specimen of fast life in the upper circles, in
this particular, is beyond our Ken. The only
wonder is that the hair. under the tremendous
pull necessary to impart the requisite tension,
does not give way at the roots like the tail of
Tam O'Shanters mare in the fierce grasp Of
Cutie Sark.
Seriously. ladies, this high-pressure method
of dressing your glory" is, in every sense of
the word, a serious drawback to your comeli-
ness. Possibly you may think that it prevents
your fair brows from wtinkling. but the reverse
is the fact. The skin of the forehead is un-
naturally stretched in the process, and, when
the pressure is removed, it is apt to become
corrugated. If you wish to attract admiration
and not ridieule, don't dress your hair IN that
manner.

The Throat's independent Brain.

A writer on the Philadelphia Press troubled
with sore throat, sought relief, and incident
ally learned the following:
Ibid You ever knpw," said well-knowti
specialist, as he deftiy inserted looking glass
into the roof of the sufferers mouth, that the
throat has brain of its own: No7 suppose
There is small gahglia which exercises direct
control over the muscles of the throat and acts
as its brain. Of course, it Is subservient to the
genuine brain, but at the same time does good
deal of independent thinking for itself IT Is
very timid and suspicious Of any strange OBJ
jects that come near the throat For this rea.
son it is very diffcdlt for physician to operate
on the throat. Before anything can be done in
this direction it is necessary for the operator
to gain the confidence of the little brain that
dominates 1t. 1t frequently takes weeks before
this confidence can be secured, and until it is
secured it is impossible to operate. Wheu the
little brain is finally made TO understand that
no harm is intended it, but that the physician is
actuated by friendly motives, it will submit to
alrlost any treatment, however painful,
But woe to the man who attempts rough
treatDen to the throat before gaining the lit
tie brain's confidence, and in spite of its pro-
tests. His operations will be resented with vio-
lent paroxysms, first of the throat then of the
diaphragm, and. If the operator still persists,
the patient will be thrown into convulsiOns.
Still more curious is the fact that this little
brain has memory, and If once frightened in
this way, it is almost impossible to ever gain its
confidence. no matter how gentle the operator
may be.
Il don't know whether its distrust would ex-
tend to other operators than the one who
frightened 1t or not. ! think l will try the ex-
pertinent some time of seeing whether it can
remember faces"

THE PHILADELPHIA BANK FAILURE.

The closing of the Keystone National
Bank, at Philadelphia, while not an event
that can be regarded with satisfaction, has
features from which at least certain miti-
eating conclusions can be drawn. There
are as yet no indications Of the reckless
practices which have wholly emptied other
banks; and till these appear, it is permissi-
BILE to accept the explanation that the draw
ing down of deposits until the reserve was
made inadequate is the sole cause.
1t is satisfactory to know that the Comp
troller of the Currency is keeping so close a
watch upon the banks as is indicated by
this case. The knowledge that the banks
are under strict supervision and that they
will be rigidly called to account if they do
not keep their reserves fully up to require
ments is one of the most powerful safe
guards against careless banking and future
failures. In the meantime we are able, in
connection with this affair, to congratulate
ourselves on the wholly undisturbed solidity
of the Pittsburg banking system.

The following cotemporary record of the
death of John Wesley, who died 10g years ago,
will be read with interest. 1t is taken verb ct
lit from the Northampton Mercury of March 8,
179l by the Pail Mall Budget:
"Wednesday morning died, at his own house
in the City road, in the SSth year of his age,
that well-known and celebrated minister and
reformer. the Rev. John Wesley, whose emf
nent abilities in every branch of polite and
sacred literature. being directed by the grace of
God to the most important and valuable ends,
not only rendered him the ornament of his own
age and country, but will also endear hisnaihe
to the latest poSterIty. OF his writings
it is impossible for rs to speak. Few men have
written yolumlnousy; divinity. devotional
and controversial; history. philosophy, inedi-
cine, politics. poetry, etc.. ETC., all we're as diff
fereht times the subjects of his pen. What
ever may be the opinions held Of Mr. Wesley's
divinity, it is impossible to deny him the merit
of having done infinite good to the lower class
of people His history would certainly
be. important, for in every respect, as the
founder of the most numerous sect in the king
dom, as d man, and as 4 writer, he must be con-
sidered as one of the most extraordinary char
acters tliis or any other age ever produced.
Mr.. Wesley's income was pfodigious not less
than 10000 4 year, but out of that he appropri-
ated no more to his own use than was sufficient
to supply the necessaries of life"
The funeral took place on the 9th. Under
date March 10. 179l, the Northampton Mercury
yesterday morning the remains of Mr. John
Wesley were deposited in a piece of ground
near his chapel. lat the Foundry, Moorfelds
MIR. Wesley was inferred, as Whirefeld was, in
his gown and cassock, band, etc. His charity
was unbounded; in fact, the trustees were
obliged to be guarded in what money they
gave him. as it generally went among the first
poor objects he met with"
Whatever else Wesley was or was not, he
was certainly grand old man in point
of physique. He was 81 when he died, and he
was preaching in the City road only eight days
before his death.

PROGRESS ON THE ROAD BILL.

II. is satisfactory to observe that public
sentiment in the agricultural class is devel-
oping quite strongly in favor of the bill for
road improvement. The early ex pressions
OF farming opinion against it were founded
on the misapprehension that the increased
cost of making permanent highways would
be imposed on the agricultural counties.
With that error corrected the farmers of
Pennsylvania are sufficiently awake to
their own interests to be quick to accept aid
from the cities in giving them durable
roads.
The bill involves little, if any, increase of
taxation on agricultural property. The re-
form it endeavors to establish is to turn the
expenditure of taxation into making per-
manent roadways, instead of relying on the
present plan of annual patchwork, and 10
offer premium in the form of State aid for
the construction of durable roads. Will liam
G. Moore, the President of the Berks County
Agricultural Society, has recently pub
lished letter showing that the
tax levy will be no greater under
the proposed law than under
the present one, and that the plan of the law
is similar to that for State aid to common
schools, to which similar objections were
made at the time of its passage; but which
has been fully vindieated by experience.
The direct benefit of improved roads 10
farmers IS illustrated by the same gentle
man with the assertion that he has seen
during the past winter eight horses drawing
loads that two horses could have drawn on
good roads, The cities will have to pay
great share of the State aid for good roads;
but enlightened opinion in the cities per-
ceives clearly that this will be more than
compensated for by the indirect benefits of
better communication with the country. the
distribution of shipments of produce which
are now jammed into certain short periods,
and the consequent economy both in trade
movements and the cost Of domestic sup
plies.
There is every prospect that the new road
measure will 60 through. and that next year
will see decided progress in the work of
making roadways that will be good at all
seasons of the year.

Long Distance Measures.

widely at different times and with different ma
tions, to say nothing Of the comparisons used
In different sections of our country. For in

The Jews said s.from Dan to Beersheba."
The Persians say 'sfrom Medina to Mecca"
The English say sifrom Lands End TO John

The Sucker and Hoosier say "from the Great

In California the common expression is "from

PRACTICAL TESTS WANTED.

The discussion of the Shaw apparatus fol
detecting the presence of gas in coal mines,
before the Institute of Mining Engineers,
yesterday was OF great interest. The al
Legations for and against the apparatus have
already been referred to in these columns,
and they were enlarged and detailed In the
debate. The inventor claims that the ap-
paratus will detect the presence OF gas under
circumstances where other tests fail while
its opponents assert that though the theory
may be correct in practice it will not work,
and that reliance upon it will be dangerous.
Without any idea Of taking sides on this
discussion, THE DISPATCH would urge the
great value of such debates, and the i'm
portance of giving fair consideration
to all devices for the purpose of
guarding against explosions. 1t has
been demonstrated by the most impressive
proof that the existing methods for de-
tec5ing gas in mines do not furnish
complete protection. With the urgent
necessity of adequate safeguards staring
the public in the face, every device that
promises better protection is entitled to i'm
partial and careful investigation. No test
of the value of such appliances can be bet
ter than their workings under actual prac-
tice. II there is any means Of giving them
q chance to demonstrate their practical

He Was Too Sure.

The New York Sun evidently does not believe
that women are infallible, as recent issue of
that paper contains the following little story:
"Poohp' said one man in the horse car as a
group Of business men were on their way down
town ''fny wife is the most methodlcal careful,
neat woman you ever saw. 1t is all nonsense
for woman to let house run into disorderly
ways. You ought to see how my wife does
things"
"Well, of course that is all very well in
theory" responded another; ''but the best
housekeeper gets behind, or Something, some
times"
"My wife never does She is always the same
She keeps everything in first-class shape"
''She must be remarkable person." said
another man. "How long have you been mar
ried?'
.Ten years. And she never disappointed me-
Why, gentlemen, she always puts everything in
the same place, and you know just where to
find what you are after. For instance, 1 went
to my handkerchief drawer this morning be-
fore daylight and took out a handkerchief and
put it in my pocket before Starting out, and
know just as well as / know my own name that
that handkerchief is Just such a size and has
my initials worked in silk In one corner"
And the boastful man put his hand in his
pocket and pulled out and unfolded white
nighteap with long strings dangling from it.

OUR UNwELCoME VISITOR,

Most visitors to Pittsburg are cordially
welcomed, and, on their departure, invited
to call again. Especially is this true in re-
gard to foreigners, but la grippe, the Wis.,
itor now with us, would confer favor by
departing Immediately. Nor need it bother
itself to return. Its behavior while here
last year was so outrageous that all society
good, bad and ipdifferent-determined that
its company was undesirable. Unfortunately
la grippe does not come like an ordinary
visitor 1t does not ring the door bell and
send in its card. Such little formalities are
quite unknown to it, ana it does not under
stand the meaning of the polite fiction, mot
at home, to-day" But it comes and makes
those whom it visits painfully aware of Its
presence. Neither time, place nor character
seem to be of any importance to it, as it Is
liable to pay its respects to anyone at any
place and at any hour. Rich and poor,
good and bad, have acted in the capacity of
unwilling hosts to the malignant visitor.
Seriously speaking, this mysterious dis
ease is a great drawback to this city at
present. Even if not always fatal, it causes
nuCu lUSS 10 Iut DIS SEcdb
human machine known as the business
world, is almost at a standstill. Many of
its component parts are temporarily in the
repair shop, and until they are returned to
their accustomed places but little can be
done. Employer and employe are untitled
TOR their regular vocations, and as a conse-
quence the only places that show anything
like activity are the drugstores. Even in
these establishments all is not happiness,
for the clerk is often as tightly grIpped as
his customer. A Chicago physician has
really terrifying theory about the disease.
He claims to believe that it will come every
spring, with greater fatality at each return
until the earth is depopulated. AS this is
only theory, P'ittsb urgers need not be much
alarmed. Suffice it to know that the dis
ease is now here and is causing much per-

to the citizens.

PITTsBURG. SATURDAY, MAR. q, 1891
THE CITY's FINANCIAL BUDGET.

The most obvious and least agreeabl> fact
about the appropriation ordinance presented
to Councils yesterday is that it shows the
demands for taxes to be growing at about
the same rate that the Clearing House re-
turns since the first of the year show the
city's business to be declining. For both
one and the other circumstance there is a
special cause. The bulk of the increased
tax Is to 20 to the worthy purpose of paying
for and improving the parks and starting
the system of free bridges with the South
side. For the decline in the general busl-
ness of the city, the Smithfeld street Off
ciGls also can justly urge that not they, but
the money panic in the fall is responsible.
All Of this may be true; vet the facts and
figures are as stated; business goes down a
peg; taxes go up in volume-and the con-
Junction is not agreeable to the pocket or
the mind of the thinking citizen.
the seven fat and the seven lean kline of
Pharaoh's dream, which were significant of
the seven prosperous and the seven poor
years Of Egypt's history, may probably be
borne in mind in these times Of our own,
when prosperity goes in periods, and the
lean streaks intermingle pretty sharply with
the fat. Systems, whether of public or pri-
vate expenditure, based upon flush times,
need TO keep in view the evidences of change,
and to change themselves when the times
require IL. Progression in outgo and con-
tracticn of income do not work very long
together without a sharp strain somewhere.
Yet, so far as the appropriation ordinance
for this year goes. the general taxpayer
might be less disposed to kick if it were not
for the more serious shadow which over
hangs, of the debt for street improvements
The same city officials and the same LAWYERS
who were satisfied all along that the acts OF
1857 and 1889 were all right are now once
more jubilantly satisfied that, while the
Supreme Court has pronounced these acts
all wrong, there is still a way to escape
afforded by the Supreme Court decision in
the case of the city of Chester. Perhaps this
may be so; but the public, in view of past
experience, will prefer to hear the Court
itself say so before taking much stock in the
prospectus of the new "cure-all'' legislation.
Governor Patt;son will also have to change
his position before the legislation can get
his signature. That the city authorities
themselves have not such an abiding faith
in the success OF the plan for making the
abutters pay up seems 10 be sufficiently in
dicated by the fact that one of the items of
yesterdays appropriation ordinance is $780,
600, to be levied by general taxes, for COM
pleting some of this very work in dispute
