mitted, but now one to three long, loose
curls fall from the back. This change
has been wrought by the quaint old fan
cies in dresses that women are wearing
now. The long curls were worn univer-
sally in the days when the fashions now
worn were first seen, and we have the
gowns, the topknots, high combs, and
why not the curls? These can be pur-
chased in any shade to match one's own
hair and fastened with a sort of safety
pin. I note the return also of the pow
der puff, and for evening it is quite
proper to deftly powder the soft waves
and stiff puffs-not very much, but just
enough to give dainty softness to the
young face beneath. It is only the young
that powder their hair. Nature does all
that is necessary in that direction for
the older ones.
The fancies in hairdressing vary with
those of the wearers, yet the tendency is
all toward the days of yore. Flowers are
Worn to an unprecedented extent in ball
rooms, and some young ladies have COM
plete wreaths of large blossoms, or i'm
mense sprays of fine ones with delicate
foliage. In all cases the flowers match
those on corsage and skirts.
There are many pretty fancies for the
proper setting of the jewel, woman,
among them chain bracelets, heavy and
thick, jeweled combs and chatelaines of
gold and silver filagree. There are belts,
with curiously twisted massive golden
clasps, and exquisite lace fans, with
pearl studded handles. There are crystal
and silver smelling bottles in the shape
of alligator and wild goose heads, and
there are long, slender watch chains Of
red Guinea gold.
These are all for evening, and so are
some toques for theater made of bows of
soft ribbed silk or velvet, crushed near
~ fat, and with tiny bows of real
Brussels lace wired to stand upright.
All evening bonnets are made low and
as nearly fat as may be. And think
the most Of the spring hats will be of
medium size.
The new spring street gowns show
more conservative intention than I had
expected. Yet some Of them are odd
enough to call forth EXPLANATIONS of as
tonishment.
There was ono suit where the dress
itself was of dark brown twilled chew
lot, extremely fine. The corsage was a
plain French waist, with belt of the
same brocaded stuff as that used to Dor
der the skirt and make the scalloped
cape. This cape had a sprung collar,
with two ripples standing up high. one
on each side Of the chin. This was of
old rose cloth, closely machine stitched.
The shade matched that in the queer
cashmere pattern in the cape whose
ground was very dull dark green.
Another stylish spring outfit had the
skirt made of light tan cloth, with vel
vet points on the bottom all around.
The waist was a plain basque, with
position.
The cape was of tan cloth, with
deep astrakhan border and velvet plas-
iron front. This and the stiff collar were
richly beaded and had a row of lace
around them. The hat to wear with it
was also ''black and tan, " with black
velvet and feathers.
Among the most useful of the new
gowns was very neat travelling dress
for bride. It was of light gray twill,
soft and warm, yet light. The skirt was
laid in ample plaits and was bordered

a Hindu Trick EXPOSED.

The famous mango miracle" n
Hindo trick of India, frequently re.
ferred to by tourists in that country.
las Just been exposed by u French
scientist, M Ragonneau. The East
India wizards have long performed
this feat to the astonishment OF I'LL
beholders. They plant a seed in the
earth and cover it with cloth. Within
a quarter OF an hour the cloth begins
to DO raised by the growing plant,
which in a short time attains the
height of several feet.
M. Bagonneau discovered that the
Hindu always imbedded tho seed in n
particular soil and at last found out
that the latter was obtained from ant
hills. As ants contain much OF from
&c acid. with which, Of course, the soil
OF their habitation becomes charged,
the soil itself, like the acid, has the
power OF quickly dissolving the in
tegument about tho seed und of slim
ulnting ~marvelously the growth OF the
germ within. Though the clever
Frenehmau was finally able to dupli.
cate the mango trick, the most inter.
esting thing about it is that this dis.
covery may be p~roiitably applied to
agriculture. NJ. Ragonneau has OBJ
tanned M acid as strong as vinegar by
infusing ants into boiling water, and
with this acid has achieved u most re-
markable vegetable growth.
