having immigratcd to Pennsylvania. This ancestor was Quaker and was obliged to leave England on account of religious persecution. His descendants lived in this part of Pennsylvania until 1880, when Leon Abbctt's father removed to Philadelphia. where he learned the trade of a natter. He gave n liberal cdu- cation to his son Leon, who. after a term at one of the common schools, was grad uatcd in 1853 nS hachclOr of arts at the high school uf Philadelphia and five years later received the dcgrcc of master of arts.
 He entered the law office of John W. Ashmcad, then United States district at- torncy for the eastern portion of Pcnnsyl- vania. and was admitted to the Pennsyl- vania bar in 1857 and began the practice of law in Philadelphia. On his twenty sixth birthday, Oct. s, lS62. he was mar. ried to Miss Mary Briggs of Philadelphia and removed from that city to Hoboken, \. T. His wife died II years ago. He took great interest in politics and joined the Democratic party, whose cause he served by many eloquent speeches during inc exciting campaigns of those troubled times.
 He was admitted to the New Jersey bar, and in 1864 he was elected to the as- scmbly. rcprcscnting Hobokcn in the leg islature for two years. He was recognized as the leader of the Democrats in the New Jersey assembly. On the expiration of his second term he removed to Jersey City. but acted aS corporation counsel for the city of Hobokcn for thrce years re- signing in 1888.
 His Political Activity.
 At the Democratic state convention which met in Trenton in 1868 to nomi- nate presidential electors and n governor he was chosen aS chairman. He was also corporation attorney for the town of Cn- ion and corporation counsel for Bayonne. In lS69-70 he was again member of the assembly and during both of those years was spCskcr nf the house. In the former year he was unanimously elected succcs,- sor to JudgC Randolph aSIprcsidcnt of the Jersey City beard of education. In 1872 he was n delegate nt large to tho national Democratic convention at Baltimorc.
 He was elected to the state senate from Hudson county in 1871. serving for thrce terms and bcing chosen as president of that body. In April. 1876. he was ap- pointed corporation counsel for Jersey City. an office which he held for seven years. In the summer of 1876 he went to St. Louis as delegate to the national Dem ocratic convention. He was unanimously recognized as an able lawyer, a skillful politician and a very energetic man in whatever he undertook.
 The Democratic state convention held in Trenton in 1883 nominated him for governor on the second ballot, and he was elected in the following November by a very large majority. He took n personal part in the canvass, and for ncarly two months worked night and day, travelling. speaking and supervising, giving himself less than five hours sleep each day. His administration was noted for its able and practical character. One of the laws which he strongly advocated was tho general cor poration act uf 1884, under which the di- rect state tax Is paid by corporations, and only the school rate falls directly upon the individual taxpayer.

coiffures of the fashion plates This
aureole quality, this natural human
look of the hair, is well shown in the

/. aid to Be a Most Artistic and Original
Bit of Fancy work.
The novel receptacle for burnt
matches, shown in the illustration, is
one of the most artistic and original
bits of fancy work seen for some time.
It's novelty lies in the use of one of the
small incandescent electric light
globes as a balloon, the basket attached
to this forming the holder proper.
They may be obtained at almost
any building where this system of
lighting is used. The globes in time
burn out" or become defective and
can be obtained for few cents or for
nothing. The remaining materials
necessary for the balloon are the small
Japanese basket, costing two or three
cents yard of ribbon three-eighths
of an inch wide, three skeins of floss,
and scrap Of bias velvet or plush.
Make a chain of from forty to fifty
stitches. according to size of globe,
with the floss, using a small-sized
crochet-hook. Throw the thread over
to form long stitch and catch back
into the chain; make one chain stitch,
then another long stitch, and proceed in
this manner across the original chain.
Turn and go back across this row in
exactly the same way, and proceed
thus till square of the open work is
formed. From each corner of this
square, crochet a chain which shall be
long enough to reach 10 the top of the
basket, from five to six inches; better

SINGING THE HAIR.
The Orthodox Modern Treatment
for Rough Tresses.
Custom OF Clipping the Ends Every New
Moon Is Now ObsoIete-Stngelng In
creases Vitality OF the Hair
and Reviyes Growth

Various modes Of washing and
styles of massage are claimed to ben
eft the hair and cure it of i'll color
and weak growth; but for forked
ends, ''snalxe tongues, . as some women
call the splitting of the ends of the
hair. there seems to be now but one
accepted remedy. This is ''singeing. 3"
To clip the ends every new moon was
the old custom. Every woman could
do it for herself, and in that act con-
sisted the entire scientific care of the
hair decade ago. But it never was
very successful; the hair with a ten
dency to split went right on splitting.
Singeing generally stops the trouble.
Some of its advocates claim that the
old, ignorant method of clipping left the
little hollow tubes of the hairs open,
while singeing leaves them closed,
stopped in natural state. But this
Is an exceedingly fine point of con-
tention.
Smuggling, unfortunately, cannot be
done by woman for herself. Nor can
two women do it very satisfactorily
for each other, unless they happen to
be trained hair dressers.
Women who are in the habit of hav-
ing their hair ATTENDED to" advise the
singeing process once a month. Many
say that their own experience goes to
show that it acts upon the hair as
pruning does upon a plant-increases
its vitality and revives its growth.
This treatment is now given the hair
at all first-class hair-dressing estab-
lishments here and abroad, while many
women have a standing appointment
with some favorite expert for treat
ment in her own dressing-room once a
month.
The approved process at one very
fashionable Partisan hair dresser's is
exceedingly simple, yet not safe in I'M
trained hands, The hair is loosened
and shaken out, and the maid runs
over it with lighted taper, touching
all the projecting ends. A flash here
and a flash there and you are singed.
