 It has long been known that there are more ways than one to skin a cat, and that the devil can be whipped around . stump. It is therefore not wholly surprising to see indications that the upward and onward progress of Woman, which cannot be hindered by force, is to be opposed with may have more success than 1t ought to unless Woman can be brought to @ full realization of what is going on.
 In the middle of column of the most solemn and earnest effort for the full emancipation of Woman we find the state ment that there is to be a revival of the earring, and the large earring at that. This revival is to come in the sacred name of Fashion, from obedience to whose decrees Woman has not yet shown any disposition to be emanoipsted. That Fashion which in other parts of the world commando that Woman shall wear rings in her nose, her lips, her cheeks or her forehead is to com mand that in this part of the world she shall wear rings in her ears. We think she will do 1t, and If she does we expect to see her rapidly relapse into the state of barbarian and slavery from which she says she Is emerging. It is plain that she csn- not successfully mingle savagery with the highest form of civilization. It has invariably been found that the &o roor1fo1 {p crowding out of the flowers of progress by the weeds of decadence. It will be so in this case, and when 1t Is too late Woman will perhaps dimly perceive that the men who make the fashions have. while holding forth the promise of an increase in beauty for her, dealt deadly blow at a move ment which promised to make the whole world beautiful.
 But the earrings are, we suppcs,, really coming, and when they are fully re-estab lished and have begun to accomplish their baleful mission another snake in the grass will perhaps show Its head. A suggestion is ncde that wher Q .omen rnarr,ss . Eean there be put upon one of her apgers 1n- stead of, or in addition to, wedding ring, band of tattooing. This suggestion, it will be noticed, is In the same line with the earring fashion, and there Is no reason why it should not be adopted if earrings are again worn. It will only be another step backward, and as it Is the first step that counts the second one needn't count. It probably will not. When Woman has sunk to earrings it will mako very little difference whether she is tattooed or not. She will sink to them If she does not defy Fashion, and 1t is too much to expect that she will. Therefore we look for a new deal soon. Woman deoorated with earrings and tattooing can not continue her demand for dominion over men who wear high hats and long akfrted coats

GAS we view the achievements of ag gregated capital, we discover the exist snce of the trusts, combination and mon opolies. While the citizen isl struggling far in the rear or is trampled to death beneath an iron heel, corporations, which should be the carefully restrained creat- urss of the law and the servants of the masters" Who said this9 Why, Grover Cleveland, who ia now impatiently wait ing to sign the bill that gives the people over to the Sugar trust. When he said it he didn't zee what was likely to happen any more than he did when he told his great and good friend in the Sandwich Islands that he would be true to her. He didn't foresee that the bargain between the Sugar trust and the Demo- cratic leaders would become public, and that the people would discover how they were sold out.
 It Is we'll for those who will by and by be called upon to indorse the Sugar deal by their votes to get clear idea of what it Is that they will be asked to indorse. Senator Sherman, who knows just what the Sugar schedule means, eays 1t was drawn by a careful manufacturer who is perfectly familiar with sugar. The Dutch standard of color therein produced sup plants all the standards of color which had been fixed by this and other nations, tested by the polsriscope, and it subjects all the vast amount of sugar, valued at over $10O, ,000, ,O00, to an ad valorem valua- tion, varying widely. The purest of this sugar has less than half the purity of the ordinary grade of sugar. They have in- troduced into this sn element of fraud which would defeat not only the revenue of the government, but all the protec- ton which Is given in the bill to sugar planters. It gives in addition one-eighth l of one per cent. to the sugars which come into competition with the refined sugars of our country, and here is the cunning of the whole proceeding. Here is duty l levied now for a private interest upon all ! sugars which come into competition with the sugar of the Sugar trust that is above No. 16 Dutch standard. The rate is at once changed.

Some of Its Facts and Fancies. Written for the JOURNAL AND COURIER.
GRASS WORSHIP.

GRASS WORSHIP.
 It has been borne in upon the minds of some women that in this city of ancient traditions and modern culture aggregated plants of the order Gramina, as grown upon public parks and squares, are more highly esteemed than even the choicest specimens of the human kind.
 In other words, the growth, the verdure and beauty of the grass is more to be con- sidered than the annoyances that vex the soul of woman, caused primarily by this excessive grsss-worship on the part of the City Fathers.
 To pass through the Old Green along Temple street is for 8 woman of refinement, and very many are who walk that way, an ordeal to be dresded from early spripgtime until the snow flies. She does not tread upou hot ploughshares or run the gauntlet of buffetings, but 1t is @ trial to have to pass by the long file of lounglng men, who loll in careless and ungrsceful ease, who expectorate with much vigor and "without solution of continuity" making the walk one extended cuspidor. and who sometimes leer and stare insolently.
 Not all men who occupy the seats upon the green are "of the bsser sort" but there are enough of them mixed in with those who have stopped for a moments rest, or to enjoy the eight of our dear old green in all its unaffected and quiet beauty, to make the woman who must pass them as timid as were those would be Pilgrims who turned back from the entrance to the Valley of the Shadow of Death because | they saw there thobgoblins, ea.yrs and | dragons of the pit" She must walk in a | eingerly and hssitating fashion on ao. l count of the tobacco pools, and nsr dis | gust Is apt to tilt the tip of her nose and draw down the corners of her mouth. | Hence derision and scorn on the part of | the loungers of which she is painfully | aware, and thus one of the most delight full walks in our city becomes a veritable Humiliation Row.
 Upon the smaller squares, where the walks are narrow, there is another evil tc be dreaded. Not only are there the pooli to shun, but, especially in the evening must the pssssr-by avoid certain obstruc tions presented by rows of protrudine boots. The pools are certainly an annoy ancs, but the boots are a menace to safety
 All this might be obviated in the easies way by turning the benches. They should both men and benches toward the walks women might go and come happily ani peacefully, while the men would be just a comfortable and more ornamental.

 MT. Jsggers rose up.
 It was an unusual thing for MT. Jsggers to do this, save for his hurried lunch st noon, between his arrival at his great wholesale establishment in the morning and his final departure for his pleasant city home at night.
 So when Mr. Jsggers rose up, rose up almost violently, with his broad back planted very stifay against the partition wall of his box-like private office and with something like e slam of his revolving chair against his dssk, the various heads of departments and the clerks inside. within, and just outside the doorway, who, In the line of their various duties, were in turn awaiting his attention, knew that his tenn per was up as we'll.
 This they conveyed to one another ss plainly as men could say 1t, In subdued and solemn "AhemsI" ely winks, grave wrinkIings of commercially placid fore heads and in a gentle bnzzlng of crisp comment which bodsd i'll for the three persons seated beside MT.

Another way divides the hair by psrtings parallel with the cen trsl part, and each lock is turned under softly and carried back, making c series of eoft rolls parallel to each other. Great care must be taken that the psrtings be- tween do not show. Still another way combs all the front hair at the side of the central part forward, and rolls 1t all for ward in loose twist, then the twist is carried back. This method Is likely to s'turn the roots" and every one knows the suffering that causes.
