Once More the Bnpdenu.

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 the chignon,
but The revival OF to-day omits that
abomination. The bandeau Is brought
down from the middle Of the brow. so
that it touches the outer corner Of the
eyebrow, hides most of the forehead. a
portion of the cheek and all but the
lower tip of the ear. 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 T, ruffied condition Is,
of all bopelessly incongruous affairs, the
worst. or course fashion will be gener-
ally observed in this instance, although
but few faces can stand this severe de.
cree. A pale, clear complexion and
cameo-like features are adapted to the
bandeau, but to any other the change
from frizzes and wavy hair is likely tc
be more or less trying.

What Causes Distress?

To the Editor:
Our country is blessed with all that natures
bounty can bestow; still our workingmen were
never so wretched as they are now. am an or
binary man, and l would feel thankful to any one
who Will give to me satisfactory explanation
OF the industrial depression which We are passing
through. We are possessed OF phenomenal wealth,
but II is In the hands OF comparatively few indi-
ylduals. At the close Of the war, thirty years
ago few mlllionaires existed. but to-day thou
sands of them are in existence. What shall be
done to relieve the existing distress' Our Con-
gressm"n and Senators have been for months
patching up Tariff bill. which should have been
passed in few weeks. Being a very observant
man. | have noticed In my travels through the
city the pnched faces and respondent looks OF
capable. worthy men. whose inability to procure
employment is no fault OF their own. Hurry up
our lawmakers, and induce them to settle the
tariff question which, think. Is the main cause
OF our existing distress

AgnoStic Philosophy.

To the Editor:
In a communication OF MIR. NJ, In your paper on
June 9 noticed the essence Of the agnostic
philosophy. There many ways OF retuting the
philosophy OF the unknowahle. 1t could easily be
shown that Mr., Spencer. In working It out. has
fallen into more than one intellectual suicide.
1t could be proved that 1t is utterly useless for
the purpose OF excluding revelation. 1t could be
proved that. followed to It's legitimate conse-
quences. metaphyscally, 1t leads directly TO COM
pete nescience, But all these methods would In
volve metaphysical reasoning, which the majority
OF aGnostIcs might IND to be dry and difficult to
follow. Hence as It IS sometimes found that
the best way to get rid OF an absurd law is to
enforce It, | believe that the best way 10 show

insist upon a rigorous application OF 1t wher-
ever the method is applicable |. d. @.

WHIPPING DEMOCRACY ROUND THE
STUMP.

Senator Hill made a strong anti-Ad-
ministration 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. 1t was a success.
As an argument against the income tax
on incomes of more than four thousand
dollars a year. compelling the tax-dodg-
ing millionaires of the country to at last
bear their share OF the burden OF taxa

Is II a Trick?

To the Editor:
Many people interested in the Brain Fresh
sners'' column of The Evening World" have I'M
doubtedly been surprised at and perhaps lost In
admiration of A. H. Jones's geometrical problem
OF the three right-angled trisngles with equal
areas and different dimensions. People with only
ordinary mathematical attachments have long har-
bored the delusion that the numbers >. and s
and their multpes were the only integers that
could accurately measure the respective sides Of
q right triangle. and among these mutiples any
change OF dimension produced a change OF area.
But ind that an ''inhnite number Of
