lessor Harris Discovery.
New York Sun.
Much interest has been excited among
scholars in Washington by the eablegram
saying that Professor Fsndel Harris of
Cambridge had reported to Professor Nestle,
at TRbingeD, that he had discovered in the
convent on Mount Sinai a palimpses con-
tanning the complete Syrian text Of the four
Gospels. They unite in declaring that it IS
impossible TO estimate the value of the find,
should the palimpssst prove to be what it is
described.

the Smithsonian Institute, lit IS believe

in Palestine and especially in Galilee, Il

know that it was not pure Hebrew from the

STYLISH Hair Dressing.
New York Trlbun,

The tendency in hair dressing is toward
extreme simplicity. 1t is considered bad
taste to make any addition TO the natural
hair and false frizettes, puffs and switches
are very little used. The most striking in
novation of the season is a distinct parting
OF the hair in the middle from the forehead
to the crown of the head. This may un-
6oubtediy be traced TO the influence If tho

"That Aid Society. /"

Some unknown chump fired a set of
resolutions at us last week through The
Cresset to prove that stalwarts were
not republican aid society. Now, we
doubt not some of these stalwarts i'm
agine they are democrats. But what
did you do last fall? You raised a big
fuss and noise. met at Topeka, listened
to A. a. Harris and other railroad at
torneys, and resoluted yourself res, and
the public tired with rehash of ''gIori-
Gus democratic principles" and 'reyo-
lutions and anarchy" then went home
to fight teeth and toe-nail for the re-
publican party. If you loved principle
better than spoils, why didn't you get
up some tickets headed Democrat
and signed Andrew Jackson and vote
them, instead of voting the republican
ticket because they would have the
spoils to distribute, you thought.
Yes, you resoluted and you resoluted.
Now you reSOlute and resolute again.

be villain" AS we have said, some
of these stalwarts may be thoroughly
honest IN their course; but they aided
the republicans just the same; but we
think we know some who always were
ready to turn traitor for selfish adyant-
age. Whether honest or dishonest, the
result of their intentions were the same:
to establish republican aid society.

One of the most dangerous storm per-

is at the electric crisis Of tie earth's
Yernal equinox. 1t is q regular storm
period, intensified by the equinoxes of
Mars, earth and this moons last quar-
ter on the 10th. Threatening storms
destructive gales especially ON all the
southerly seas and coasts, may almost
certainly be expected. A very warm
wave. attended by heayy clouds and
tightening and thunder, will appear
with heavy rain in southern and CEN
trail sections, turning to violent blizr
cards and snow blockades In northerly
regions. Wherever the disturbances
are ushered in with warm, sultry
weather, south winds and electric dis
plays, it will be prudent to watch for

they appear, will break into tornadoes

There was an excess of 10000
deaths over births in France during
1891. There has been an almost unin-
terrupted decrease in the number of
births each year since 1881, and the
prevention of an actual decline in the
total population is attributed to the
influx of immigrants. There were 1885,
300 marriages in 1891, the greatest num-
Der since 1884, and 5,752 divorces were
granted during the year. The figures
are from the official returns just Is

There has been large increase in
