Hair RestraIned bow Law.

Centuries ago for some reason it was
thought necessary to introduce a kind of
sumptuary law with respect to the length
of garments and the length of the hair.
Men were forbidden to wear their hair on
their shoulders and women to wear the
long plaits hanging loose. 1t was a mark
of distinction for maidens to wear long
hair, only the slaveborn having il cut
short; so it is not likely that women of free
birth were induced by any edicts to cut
their hair loose, but only to confine it
within reasonable bounds. Our forbears
must have been better provided with
natures head covering than we are. There
is, alasl little occasion now for restraining
the abundance of women's locks. -Notes
and Queries.

our people. The young will receive instruc-

are not sufficiently aware of the real
growth and greatness of their state. 1t re-
quires, in fact, but little study to ascer-
tain, and not much effort to show, that
Indiana according to area is the greatest
and most productive state in the Union,
and possessed of greater and more extern
sive educational advantages than any other
commonwealth of equal population in the
world. These facts should be taught
everywhere among our people. 1 fully
believe in the doctrine of state pride, es-
pecially when there is solid foundation
for 1t. Such publication as the one now
before me is we'll calculated to inspire the
young and old alike of Indiana with just
and laudable sentiments of pride and
gratitude. 1t is indeed a most charming
book. The likenesses, taken altogether,
are the best have ever seen in engrav-

older and larger works. 1t is an excellent

tical use for ready reference.

bic epitome of leading events and mention

WHAT SENATOR HILL WANTS.
ne Desires to Bring Mr.. Cleveland to Terms
Before He Works.

nefore ne works.
The private talk Of friends Of Mr.. Hill cor
roborates the natural inference to be drawn
from his attitude Of inaction. The character
OF the report Of Commissioner Peck on labor
statistics is regarded by democrats here as an
indication OF the methods to be followed by
Mr.. Hills friends to bring Mr.. Cleveland to
terms Mr.. Hill is not charged by them
with treachery exactly, but IL Is well
understood among weil-informed democrats
that there is q duel between Mr.. Hill and Mr..
Cleveland and that the purpose of Mr. Hill is
to compel Mr.. Cleveland to recognize his power
In New York. They say that Mr.. Hill sees that
if Mr.. Cleveland is elected without an agree
ment with the New York Senator the latter will
SIT In the Senate like q bump on O log during
the four years without having q word to saw
about the New York patronage, without infn-
ence and without receiving any consideration
from the administration.
1t is known that at one time Mr. Hill contem-
plated retirement from public life il Mr. Cleve-
land got the nomination. His friends, it is
said, pointed out to him that this would mean
permanent retirement and they assume that he
has come to the conclusion that II he can bring
Cleveland to terms and can control New York
patronage there may yet be q future for him.
His friends believe that he is now working
out this idea by remaining inactive, while his
friends run amuck, not taking orders from any
one as long as he is client II by this means
be can let it become apparent to Mr.
Cleveland that there are certain neces-
sary things which cannot be done
without his assistance and can in
crease Mr.. Cleveland's anxiety to the point Of
concession he will then, IL Is asserted, when
things look particularly black, come in and try
to play the character Of party savior, with the
prospect Of restoring his control Of affairs in
New York if Cleveland is elected.
