New Fashions of Dressing the Hair and
the Latest Ornaments.
The women who have been fond of
dressing their hair with feathers and
aigrettes will have to give them up this
winter or be hopelessly out of date. for
the feathers must go. Combs of all
sizes and shapes are the correct head
ornaments, so the fashionable jewellers
and hair-dressers say, and they come in
endless variety, so far as material and
design are concerned.
There seems TO be a very different
way of arranging the hair for every
face, and yet all are stylish. The
woman with dark, glistening locks
must wear her hair in the evening after
the style of Empress Josephine if she
has the face to stand it, and the dia>
mond and pearl tiara which gives the
finishing touch to this very fetching ar
rangement of her locks If she can't
afford the latter two or three strands
Of imitation pearls look well wound in
and out among the dark puffs. Dark
hair does not look well too much be-
frizzled. Crimping causes it to lose it's
luster, which is brought out by light
ornaments. On the other hand, the
woman with yellow or reddish hair
should wave it on all sides and puff it
up in fluffy mass.
Medium-sized tortoise shell combs
ornamented with applied silver are
more popular than anything else just
now, but they really show off better i'll
light hair than in any other. Black
garnet and mat jet combs and hair-pins
are being imported from Paris and are
already very popular. Many of them
come in crescent and butterfly shapes,
and are thickly studded with rhine
stones. The side combs match, and the
effect of these novelties in blonde hair
is gorgeous and striking.
The silversmfths report a big run on
the enameled and jewehd bodies of but

to her crimpless part and coils her hair

the part and so relieve its severity. She
may even go further and fill her hair
with very small enameled and jeweled
butterfly and flower pins and So obtain
an effect altogether japanese.
Few women can afford to dress their
hair low on their neclis, even with the
aid of crimps and puffs, but those who
do must not fail to set Off the knot with

THE SWEATER.
A Curious Funeral Rite Which Obtained
In Wales.

The principally of Wales has within
living memory possessed an official
known as the "sin-eater." 1t was the
practice for a relative-usually a WON.
an--to put on the breast of deceased
person quantity of bread and cheese
and beer, and the sin-eater was sent for
to consume them and to pronounce the
everlasting rest of the departed. ltwas
believed that in doing this he absolutely
ate and appropriated to himself the sins
symbolized by the viands, and thereby
prevented their disturbing the repose OF
the sinner who had committed them.
Such an arrangement would obviously
leave nothing to be desired on the one
side, but how it worked on the other we
are not told. What was supposed to be
the condition of this spiritual under
taker after the ceremony was con-
cluded? Did his appropriation" of the
dead mans sins imply a sort of moral as
similation of them, answering to his
physical assimilation of the bread and
cheese? The question would obviously
be one of some Importance to sin-eater
in large practice. If the responsible
ties of his profession were as great as
ties of his profession were as great as
hypothesis, he would need to retire
from it early, and to devote consider
able portion of his closing years to re-
pentance and good works.
Again, it is natural to ask what hap,
pened at the decease of popular or
fashionable" sin-eater. Would any
one among his professional brethren
undertake to eat his sins, even in the
first flush of satisfaction produced by
stepping into his shoes? If so, then,
indeed, has the epithet of gallant"
been rightly bestowed upon little Wales.
1t is as though one doctor succeeding to
another's practice should consent to as
sumo the moral responsibility for his
Iate colleagues treatment of all his de-
ceased patients, in addition to his own
similar burdens.
We yield to none in admiration of the
quiet and homely heroism of the medi-
cal profession, but we doubt whether 1t
would enable them to face such an or
deal as this AS to the Welsh practi-
TONERS to whom we have compared
them, we shrink from pursuing the an
alysis further. 1t is evident that, as in
the schoolboy game of "conquerors,"
where a stone which can smash the
smasher, of, say, 43 other stones takes
over all its conquests, and becomes n
self "forty-fourer," so the responsible
tiles of these unhappy men might ac-
cumulate at an alarming rate. One
hardly dares to contemplate the inter-
nal condition of the sin-eater who had in
life attended a long series of other sim
eaters. The cheese would be almost
converted into Welsh rabbit before he
had got it down.-London Times.

The report of the surgeon-general of

prevalent was the liquor habit among
enlisted men. In the entire army,
thirty-four men in every one thousand

represent the range of indulgence in
the use of Intoxicating drinks, but the
use of them to so Incorporate a de-
gree as to call for the services of the

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Perfumes are now extensively man.
ufactured in the United States, and the
native articles are said by experts to
compare fayorably with foreign manu-
features.
England manufactures perfumes
on very large scale, importing many of
the materials from other countries,
but also making large use OF home
grown herbs and flowers.
Many woods have sugar and gum in
their composition, and the presence of
these elements is generally shown by
the attraction the wood seems to have
for many kinds of insects.

The trade in California sweet wines
is showing a gratifying increase. The
total estimated product for this year is
100000 gallons, which is 25 per cent
more than was marketed last year.
Heretofore there has been little profit
in the vintages because of the fierce com
petition of growers, but the producers
have now made arrangements with a
sweet-wine syndicate which will con-
troll the entire product of the state and
give all concerned some share in the
profit.
In America it has been observed
that bees often bore tubular corollas in
order to get at the nectar of flowers, in
stead of entering by the mouth, as
humblebees do in Europe. In essays on
the Decentralization of flowers, this
supposed anomaly has been the subject
of much comment. 1t now appears that
the humblebees of Europe and America
have identical habits in regard to the
manner in which visits to flowers are
made, and that it is the class of insects
known as the carpenter bee, or the
borer, which works in the outside man

The question of the influence of the
size of seeds upon termination and up
on the size of the plants that spring
therefrom has recently been studied
anew by Mr.. B. L. Galloway, a summary
of whose conclusions is given by the
Gardeners Chronicle. The weight and
size of the seed are of great Importance.
A large seed terminates better and more
quickly, and with it one can count upon
having at the same moment from So to
90 per cent. of the total crop, while with
small seeds the crop reaches maturity
only in successive periods of time, so
that at no moment in gathering the
crop in toto could we have the Same
proportion of the whole. Besides,
where with small seeds four successive
crops are obtained, we have six with
large seeds, their evolution occurring
with greater rapidity.

The following is the result of an
analysis of a cigarette, made recently
by a physician: THE tobacco was
found to be strongly impregnated with
opium, while the wrapper, which was
warranted to be rice paper, was proven
to be the most ordinary quality of pa
per whitened with arsenic. The two
poisons combined were present in suf-
ficient quantities to create in the
smoker a habit of using opium without
his being aware of it, his craving for
which can only be satisfied by an in
cessant consumption of cigarettes ."

How . Soldier Sacrificed Himself to Up

A brave man was Sir Hope Grant,
who, during a campaign in India, saw
that his colonel was Incorporate in
his habits, and resolved to reprimand
him. On the day of one particular
battle, the colonel had been taking
sips of liquor all the morning to keep
up his spirits, and SO greatly affected
was he that all the soldiers noted his
condition, and almost Missed him on
going into action. On the evening of
the battle Sir Hope said to the officer
next above him in rank:
You know that the colonel was
drunk yesterday when we were going
into action?"
Yes, of course"
"Well, you know you must go and
put him under arrest"
Indeed, l shall do nothing Of the
sort" he answered, angrily. II will
leave you to do that business, and to
knock your head against stone wall
if you choose"
Very we'll" said Sir Hope; ''if you
don't do your duty, will do mine"
Early next morning he went to the
colonel's tent and said, after the GUS
tonary greetings:
You know you were very drunk
yesterday, sir, when you led us into
action. l have come to tell you that if
you do not at once undertake to leave
the regiment, l shall now put you in,
arrest and report your conduct"
will you, indeed?" cried the colonel
angrily. Very well, will be before.
hand with you. l now place you un.
der arrest for bringing false and in.
sulting accusation against your COM!
harding officer"
So the remonstrant left the tent I'M.
der arrest, and there he remained for
six weeks. A great excitement rose,
ran its course, and died down, and at.
the end of the six weeks Grant was,
released and ordered to return to his
duty.
The colonel was allowed to retain
his command, and SO it might appear.
to the casual eye that no good what.

good had come of it. One man had

SUPREME MOMENT IN A LAUNCH
1t Is When the Vessel First Gets Into the
Water.

Water.
That Il launch is matter of mathe-
MATES, as we'll as of great skill and la
Dor, is Shown by the fact that the man
of science who has the matter in charge
always makes a set of calculations show :
ing the strain on the ship and its pre-
else condition at practically every foot
Of the journey down the ways. If II
boat should get in the way, or if it
should take an unusual length of time
to knock out the keel-blocks, or if an y
one of half a dozen things should cause
serious delay, the scientific man knows
just how long he can wait, and just how
far the limit of safety extends.
There IS always one supreme moment
In IL launch, and it is at time that es-
capes the average spectator. 1t is when
the vessel gets fairly well into the water.
This is when nimportant factor known
as the moment of buoyancy comes into
play. II you can imagine vessel slid
ing down an incline without any water
into which to drop, you can see that the
vessel would tip down suddenly at the
end which has left the ways, and would
rise at tie end still on the incline. But
really, III successful launches, the stern
of the vessel is gradually lifted up by
the water, and this throws the weight
forward on that part of the ship Sill
resting On the ways. The force of the
water is called the moment of buoy
ancN,' and the natural tendency of the
ship to drop to the bottom of the stream
is called the moment of weight" Now
the moment of buoyancy must always
be greater than the moment of weight;
but it must not be very much greater,
for if it were it would throw too much
weight forward on the part of the ship
still on the ways, and might break them
down, or injure the plates or keel of
The ship. When the great English
battleship Ramihies vas launched, this
did really happen; and so great was the
strain near the Vow that parts of the
cradle were actually pushed right into
the bottom of the vessel. 1t is this dan

| lanncher to make the most careful cal
culations as to the conditions surround
ing the ship at every foot of her Journey
