WONDERFUL HAIR.

The supposition that the climate OF
California is conductive to the growth
of hair becomes self-evident truth in
the hands of an enthusiastic writer for
a San Francisco paper, who declares
that 10 per cent. of the San Francisco
women are blessed with tremendous
abundance of hair, resembling that OF
the seven Sutherland sisters i'll guam
tity. There is nothing that beautiful
nature can bestow on woman which
can give her more complete satisfaction
than beautiful head of hair, and Cal
iforina women seem to be highly IA
yored in this direction. The old say
ing that where flowers grow in great
abundance and perfection, the women
have beautiful hair, seems to apply to
California. Yet it is frankly stated
that it is the younger generation which
has the most abundant supply. So,
with all the virtues of the wonderful
climate of our Pacific coast, it does not
give eternal youth to its women or pre-
serve their beauty beyond the allotted
time.
The finest head of hair in San Fran
cisco is said to be in the possession OF
Mrs. Switzer. 1t is dark, glossy and
,GsS. and reaches almost to the bottom
of her dress while few years ago il
trailed yard on the floor. She wears
it high on her head, and no one sus-
poets her of such an over-abundance,
until she lets it fall around her. She
is obliged to have it thinned very often,
and there is enough cut away to make
plentiful amount for another woman,
but she never misses it.
A young lady student in Palo Alto

having long dark hair, which is mar

The color of the hair seems to make III
difference in the quantity, the dark hal
being quite as abundant rs the fluff,
blonde locks. Like all other womel
who have plenty of hair, they do no
value it very highly, and the one grea
problem yet unsolved is how to dispos
of it in accordance with the rules o
fashionable and artistic Undressing.
San Francisco boasts of seven maid
ems, called the "Beritoni sisters
whose hair is the envy of all the ladie

CAN'T BUILD A FOURTH CHURCH.
Dr. Talmage Sewers His Relations With
 the Tabernacle Congregation.

Dr. Talmage Sewers His Relations With
 the Tabernacle Congregation.
 The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage off, cially severed his relations with the Brooklyn Tabernacle at the last meeting of the Brooklyn presbytery in the Mount Oliyet Presbyterian church at Ever green avenue and Troutman street. The meeting was called to order by the Rev. Dr. John Fox of the Second Presbyte- rian church. The following letter from Dr. Talmage was read:
 To the Brooklyn Presbytery:
 DEAR BRETHREN-After much prayer and solemn consideration I apply for the dissola- ton of the pastoral relations existing betweea the Brooklyn Tabernacle and myself. have only one reason for asking this. AS you all know, we have during my pastorate built three large churches. They have been destroyed. If I remain pastor, we must undertake the super human work of building fourth church. do not feel 1t my duty to lead in such an under taking. The plain providential indications are that my work in the Brooklyn Tabernacle s concluded L>t me say, however, to this pres bytery that do not intend to go into idleness, but into other service quite as arduous as that in which have been engaged. Expecting that my request will be granted, take this oppor- tunity to express my love for all the brethren in this presbytery with whom have so long ana so pleasantly been aSSOclated, and to pray for them and the churches they represent the best blessings that God can bestow. Yours in the gospel, T. DE WITT TAIMAGE.
 Brooklyn, Dec. 8.
 Dr. Talmage was present and made a brief address. He said that some time ago the congregation, after much per suasion, accepted his decision to leave them, but on Sunday they had held an other meeting and determined as com pliment to him to disagree with his in- tention to resign and hold him to his pastorate.
 After very little opposition Dr. Tal- mage's request was granted. The Rev. J. F. Carson presented the following resolutions:
 Resolved, That the presbytery, while yield ing to Dr. Talmage's earnest petition for the dissolution of the relationship existing between the Brooklyn Tabernacle and himself, ex- presses its deep regret at the necessity of such action and wishes Dr. Talmage abundant sue cess in any field in which in the providence of God he may be called to labor. The presbytery also expresses it's profound sympathy with the members of the Tabernacle church in the loss of their honored and loving pastor and cordial ly commend them to go forward in all tho work of the church.

Tier part or bn6 ceremony COInpl6I6Q, the band resumed its music. and through another door the bridegroom was conducted into the center of the building. The bride was in the room,
 but there was nothing to designate her.
 Where is the bride?' said. Where is the bride?'' After awhile she was made evident. The bride and groom were seated on chairs opposite each oth- CT. A white curtain was dropped be- tween them so that they could not see each other. Then the attendants put their arms under this curtain, took a long rope of linen and wound it around the neck of the bride and the groom in token that they were to be bound to- gether for life. Then some silk strings were wound around the couple, now around this one and now around that.
 Then the groom threw handful of rice across the curtain on the head of the bride, and the bride responded by throw
 ing handful of rice across the curtain on the head of the groom. Thereupon the curtain dropped, and the brides chair was removed and put beside that of the groom. Then a priest of the Parsee religion arose and faced the cou- pie. Before the priest was placed a platter of rice. He began to address the young man and woman. We could not hear word, but we understood just as we'll as if we had heard. Ever and anon he punotuated his ceremony by hand ful of rice, which he picked up from the platter and flung now toward the groom and now toward the bride. The ceremony went on interminably. We wanted to hear the conclusion, but were told that the ceremony would go on for long while, indeed that it would not conclude until g o'clock in the morning, and this was only between and 8 o'clock in the evening.
