valuable addition to the debutsnts's stock

dark hair these days fs that it must be
smooth and glossy and dressed with much
simplicity. Blond trseses, however, are
still worn fluffy and tossed into pretty and
careless confusion. To keep dark hair in
condition 1t must be washed no oftener
than once a month, and must have each
day at least one hundred strokes of the
brush to each side. Blond hair must be
washed every week, and brushed briskly
every day no often than fifty times.

The oyster industry ia a very Important
one In Maryland In the neighborhOod of
the waters of the Chesapeake bay. Indeed,
1t has been ssid that this industry was
more fruitful and important than any 9TH
er, because by il more psopls were directly
and indirectly supported. 1t is possible
that, leaving ont agriculture, this may be
so, as In the Industry more than so, coo
men, women and children are employed.
OF these persons about Il, 900 men are en-
ployed in catching while the remaining
$1,000 are kept a. work at shelling, group
ing, packing aud go on
There are two ways Of taking oysterr,
dredgiug and longing, Snd in the season of
1892 8 there were over 900 vessels engaged
in dredging and great msny more than
this in longing. The crews of dredging
vessells vary with the capacity of the beats
and range from a csptaia aud five men to
a captain and twelve men Thsse men, by
the way, though they must work hard and
are expoSed TO great hsrdships and fire.
quently to danger, are not well pad.
Therefore good clsss 0f labor Is not at
trsoted. a Maryland state officer who re-
ceutil lufettiEhRtu Tue NghtcEutu VI AEe
Chesapeake said that the crews we're made
up from ''the lowest stratum of nearly all
nations on earth" The tongers are of q
better class aud are usually natives Of the
Chesapeake counties. The life of the oys-
ter catcher Is hard and thRnkleEs as he can
scarcely ever hope to earn more than
enough to sustain himself mesgerly. They
are out in the severest winter weather and
not infrtquent.y are they uusuitsbly clad
for such work Many of the men so en-
ployed 60 ont in the coldest wesiher with
no heavier body covering than hsl:-worn
flannel shirts. Lsst winter vessels were
frozsn up out in the hay while the crews
were without either food or water. The
officer before alluded to has expressed the
opinion that If the tender-hezrted among
the oyster consumers knew with how much
pain and suffering these bivslves were
brought from their salt water homes TO the
dining table, they would not eat them In
the happy frame of mind necessary to q
full appreciation of this finest of all ses

NO CHANGE NEEDED.

We suppose the decision of some of the
Democrats Of this region to nominate Mr..
Beach for Postmaster is the result of
situation which had become too dangerous
for some Democrats 1t had begun to look
as if there would be too many fierce can
didstes for the placs and 80 it was decided
that Democratic harmony required the
move that has been made.
Democratic harmony is desirable, we
suppose, but it is also desirable that the
present thoroughly and fantusly efficient
management of the postofice should not
be disturbed. The people of New Haven,
without regard to party, know that the
postof6ce is ali right as 1t is. They know
that the present postmaster has made it SO.
They know that he has been prolific in
ideas for the improvement cf the
postal service aud fertile in devices for
carrying out these ideas. They know that
he looks upon his work as business and
not politics. They know that there Is the
best of feeling and discipline throughout
the Office. They know that the workers
there are not rated according to their poll
tics, but according to their efficiency in
their work and their ability to serve the
people. And though few strongly par
tisan Democrats have got together and de-
cided that Democratic harmony in this
region can only be complete when the post
Office is in the hands of a Democrat the
great majority of the people of this town
do not see why there should be any change.
They know very we'll that none is
needed, and they know very well
that change would not be for the better.
They do not appreciate the argument that
by and by when he has had experience
enough Mr.. Beach will make good poat-
master. They have good postmaster
now, and they don't care to have thei1
mail blundered with while new man ii
learning. Then, too, there 70 a very gen
! eral feeling that SO good citizen and &c
| good postmaster as Mr.. Sperry Is should
not at his time of life be fred out of offic'
solely on account of harmonious partisan
ship.
A notable, spontaneous, weighty and
non-partisan petition for the retention O.
Postmaster Sperry in Office has, we hear
been made. It Is q splendid tribute to hin
as citizen and a public officer. If tn
people at Washington care what the psopl
at New Haven want it will result in hi
staying in the Office which he has filed 9
long and so we'll. We believe that if
vote of the men, women and intelligen
children of New Haven could be taken o
the matter at least three-quarters of the1
| would vote for no change.

TO.DaY,s SPECTACLE.

TO-DAY's SPECTACLE.
To day will be day Of triumph in
Springfield. The two big universities of
the country are to give spectacle in the
amphithester there. For months past
there has been great preparation for the
show. The country has been secured for
those fttest to represent the two centers
of art and literature. There are no slaves
among the chosen ones. They are all free
men, and they are all an honor to their
class. Their training has been most S.
we're. They have not eaten or drank but
in accordance with the strickest rules of
their profession. They have not looked
uI'on the girls. Their strength and their agil-
ity have been carefully and systematically
developed. They will enter the arena to-
day in the best possible condition, and
they will struggle for victory as becomes
those selected and trained as they have
been.
The spectacle may be somewhat dis
appointing to those who have seen the
contests In which wild beasts have been
the principal attraction, but they should
remember that 1t would be hardly oensist-
ent with art and learning for the two uni
versities to give wild beast show. They
do well by the people when they provide
such spectacle as that which will be given
at Springfield to-day and at New York on
the next great feast day. A contest of
freemen with freemen is more proper for
such a spectacle than a contest of slaves with
slaves, of slaves with wild beasts, OF of wild
beasts with wild beasts. The people
should not clamor for more bloody spsc-
tacle than that which will be put before
them to day. 1t will satisfy all but those
who take delight in the most cruel and
brutal sports. And it will give all the op-
portunity needed to win or lose few sss-
tertii or denarii. We commend the judg-
ment of those who give the spectacle in
not pandering to the populace by introduc-
ing any wild beasts or even the mighty
British and Celtic wielders of the cestus
who have so long been looking for some
body to give show in which they can
figure.
1t is said that the leader of the victors
in to days contest will receive high
honor in addition to the crown that will
be put upon him in the arena, the re-
wards which love and beauty are waiting
to bestow upon him and the money he will
win. He will, it ia said, be made equal
in authority with the president of the uni
versity on whose standard he causes Vic
tory to perch, to hold Office until the win
ner Of another similar contest deposes
him. This great incentive was offered in
order to give the contest as much spirit
and ferceness as possible, so as to make
up for any lack that might be felt on &C.
count of the absence of wild dbeasts, short
sword gladiators or cestus -wielders.

ROOTED OVER.
It will be startling news to most Elm
Citizens to hear that, according to the New
York World, the town of New Haven has
been rooted over, and that some OF us are
living under the drip thereof.
A recently published article in the paper
mentioned, after speaking in terms of
highest praise of some of our city's women
journalists, and of one or two promising
deserved recognition, concludes with this
surprising sentences:
SIT only goes to prove that to live under
the caves of university town will tell Its
effect sooner or later"
For nearly two hundred years tra-
ditionsl phrase has been handed down
from one generation of The Town Born to
another, to the effect that 1t is beautiful
and ennobling thing to dwell 'under
the caves" of our glorious univer-
Sly. The roofs of those prim and
grim and weather beaten structures, known
as the "o,d Brick Row." were supposed to
be SO saturated with the wisdom of the ages
and the ssges that it was only necessary to
linger beneath them for little while and let
the percolsted learning descend upon the
head, to gain, without further effort, some
what of mental strength and culture.
And one small child at least, to whom
| this phase was familiar, would have been
| willing to sit there all day, could she have
| done so with propriety and without moles
tation, If the multiplication table, the con
jugations.of verbs, and latitude and longi
tude and things could have descended up
on her in -
| minute drops from of the caves
