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 canellia
or seaasum oil; then the principal ar
rlves 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
so that the hair may remain undisturbed
all night. For ladies OF high degree
these blocks are beautifully lacquered
and decorated. They generally have a
little drawer into which the supertluous
ornaments can be put at night

WHIPPING DEMOCRACY ROUND THE
STUMP.

Senator Hill made q strong anti-Ad-
ministration anti-Democratic speech
In his TRADE against the Income tax
Thursday. As u 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, II was a success.
As an argument against the income tax
on Incomes OF more than fosr thousand
dollars 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.
or course, Senator Hill as q free
agent has q right to rail against the
Democracy of to-day as Spurious" as
lied astray after false gods. false theo-
r!es and false methods" Its false gods
were those they worshippsd at Chicago,
two years ago: it's false theories were
those they then adopted: its false meth

wholly and two partially against six

four by the Populists. They obtained
a plurality of forty-five thousand In
this State and of three hundred and
nifty 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 fol-
having adopted the recently denounced

Senator was himself the originator ant

THE GREAT sAENGERFEsT.

The torchlight parade OF the attend
ants on the National saengerfest last
night was perfect success, both as to
numbers, good marching and orderly be-
havior. 1t was a fine spectacle to see
ten thousand solid German citizens in
line. and 1t was gratifying to mark the
general disposition OF the spectators
along the whole line OF march, and in
deed far beyond the line. TO do honor
to the occasion. The decorations were
tasteful and general. and many of the
streets looked like avenues OF nuttering
flags. which were strung from the roofs
OF houses and stores to the sidewalks.
The police did efficient service and the
best OF order was preserved throughout
the line Of parade.
Gov. Flower and Mayor Gilroy were
present at the reviewing stand and were
evidently well pleased with the sight
President Cleveland could not attend,
owing to the pressure OF public business,
1t was said. and probably owing to the
time recently devoted to fishing and
other excursions. But he sent his ex-
cuses through his private secretary.

To-day the first concert OF the Saen-
gerfest will be given at Madison Square

could accurately measure the respective sides of

AEn Ostic Philosophy.

In a communication OF Mr.. NJ In your paper on

philosophy, There are many ways OF retutins the

shown that Mr.. Spencer. in working it out. has
fallen into more than one intellectual suicide.
It could be proved that II is utterly useless for
tho purpose of excluding revelation. 1t could be
proved that. followed to its legitimate conse-
Qusnces, metaphyscally. It leads directly to COM
Ilete nssc,ence. But all these methods would in.
Nolye metaphysical reasoning. which the majority
Of aGnostios might ind to be dry and dlflcult to
follow. Hence. as It is sometimes found that
the best way to get ria OF an absurd law is ia
