Agnostic Philosophy.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
In a communication Of Mr.. NJ, In your paper on
June noticed the essence Of the agnostic
philosophy. There are many ways OF retuting the
philosophy Of the unknowable, It could easily be
shown that Mr.. Spencer. In working It out has
fallen Into more than one intellectual suicide
1t could be proved that It is utterly useless for
the purpose OF excluding revelation. II could be
proved that, followed to Its legitimate conse-
quences, metaphysically 1t leads directly to COM
plote nescience But all these methods would in
volve metaphysical reasoning. which the majority
OF ngnostics might md TO be dry and drIcuit to
follow, Hence, as II Ia sometimes found that
the best way to get rid OF an absurd law is to
enforce It, believe that the best way to show
the ab'urdity OF the agnostic philosophy is to
insist upon a rigorous application" OF 1t wher-
ever tho method is applicable l. d. G.

original humor are more than commonly
attractive. Then, too. there will be three
entire pages devoted to the Summer re-

Once More the Bnndeau,

Late illustrated exchanges from Paris
contain pictures Of women wearing their
hair in bandeaux, a style common
enough some thirty years ago. The
fashion is already we'll under way in
the French capital, and will. of course,
soon be the correct thing In this country.
Any old daguerreotype will show Just
what the bandeau is When last in fash
ion 1t was accompanied by tho chisnon.
but The revival of to-day omits that
abomination. The bandeau is brought
down from the middle Of the brow, 30
that 1t touches the out,r corner of the
eyebrow, hides most OF the forehead, a
portion Of the cheek and all but the
lower tip OF the car. 1t must be trained to
cling to the face with a closeness that
no rude wind o. other force can disturb,
for a bandeau in rufrled condition Is.
Of all bopelessly incongruous affairs, the
worst. OF course fashion will be sener-
ally observed in this instance, although
but few faces can stand this severe de-
cree. A pale, clear complexion and
cameo-llke features are adapted to the
bandeau, but TO any other the change
from frizzes and wavy hair Is likely to
be more or less trying.

A RECESS NEEDED.

be hard to require him to continue such
work as he has been doing during the

One OF the joys Of the Japanese
woman's life. which Sir Edwin Arnold
has failed to dwell upon, Is her hair
dressing. although he mentions the re-
suit admiringly. The ordinary Japanese
woman has her hair dressed twice a
week. First the assistant hairdresser
comes and oils the locks with camellia
or seaasum oil; then the principal ar
rives and spends nearly an hour in piling
up her hair so that It will indicate the
caste and age of the woman and whether
she Is maid. wife or widow" For all
that Is expressed by the arrangement of
the locks IN Japan. The women sleep
upon neck blocks, carefully followed out
80 that the hair may remain undisturbed
all night For ladies OF high degree
these blocks are beautifully lacquercd
and decorated. They generally have a
little drawer into which the superfiuous
ornaments can be put at Right.

In II a Trick?



Many people interested in the Brain FRESH

doubtedly been surprised at and perhaps lost In
admiration Of A. II. Joness Eeometricai problem

areas and different dimensions. People with only
ordinary mathematical attachments have long har-
bored the delusion that the numbers 5. I and s
and their multiples. were the only Integers that
could accurately measure the respective sides OF
a right triangle. and among these muitiples any
change Of dimension produced a change OF area

WHIPPING DEMOCRACY ROUND THE
STUMP.

Senator Hill made n strong anti-Ad-
mnistration anti-Democratic speech
in his TRADE against the income tax
Thursday. AS a new exhibition OF his
undying enmity towards the Democratic
President whose nomination he did every
thing to prevent and whose election he
did little to promote, It was a success.
AS an argument against the income tax
on incomes of more than four thousand
dollars u year. compelling the tax dodg-
ing millionaires Of the country to at last
bear their share OF the burden OF taxa
ton. 1t was a failure.
OF course, Senator Hill as free
agent has n right to rail against the
Democracy OF to-day as Spurious" as
lied astray after false gods. false theo-
ries and false methods" Its false gods
were those they worshipped at Chicago,
two years ago: Its false theories were
those they then adopted: Its false meth
DDS were those they pursued when they
turned down the Snap Convention dele
cation from this state. But these car
ried twenty-four States of the Union
wholly and two partially against six
teen carried by the Republicans and
four by the Populists. They obtained
a plurality of forty-nve thousand In
this State and of three hundred and
fifty thousand in the Union. 1t Is evil
dent, therefore, that they were not re-
garded as spurious" by the Democracy
of the United States.
1t seems inconsistent, however, for
Senator Hill to criticise Congress for
having adopted the recently denounced
| Reed Rules" relating to the business
OF legislation when the New York
| Senator was himself the originator and
! the able advocate of such rules In the

| So far as the ostensible subject OF
