whose lines have all the exquisite
softness and tenderness characteristic
OF happy youthfulness. Unhappily,
this style of hair dressing is the most
trying of all ways. It apparently
adds years to the actual age. If the
face ls long, it makes its lengh more
conspicuous. If the brow is low, it
gives heaviness and seems to detract
from the spirituality and intellectual
ity of the countenance.
No. 2 gives a profile view Of pretty
modification of the parted coiffure.
The hair is waved from the front, and
a few light curls grace the forehead.
The full, low coil is especially adapted
for day wear and the present style of
millinery. It should be avoided, if
not absolutely Stunned, by the woman
whose nose is inclined to be small and
"tip.tilted, like a flower" as some
sweetly humane poet puts it.
No. 8 is among the latest styles for
evening wear. 1t is neither high nor
low, and gracefully fulfls the require.
ments of fashion. This arrangement
of the hair Is especially felicitous for
an angular face, which needs the waves
and curls and coils to give it softness
and subdue hard lines.
Although the prevailing tendency
for hair dressing is herewith setfortb,
it behooves every woman to consider
her individual needs in arranging her
"croy4 of glory" and to inaividualize
tie fashion to suit the shape of her
head and the modelling of her face.
No. 4 is modification of No. 8. 1t
gives q greater height, retaining a
suggestion of the style of last season,
and yet not losing the indefnable air
of being quite up to date.
The tendency of the hour is to wear
false hair and aamboyant arrange
ments in the shape of puffs and skele-
ton coils to give the impression OF
luxuriant tresses. Of course, to be in
harmony with the faring, Haunting
sleeves, skirts and frills that are the
vogue, it was an artistic necessity to
add width, breadth, depth and all diIs
mensions to the head or it would look
exceedingly small and out of proper
ion.

BUDDHISM.
THE RELIGION OF JAPAN, BUR.
NAH, SIAM AND KOREA.
Wonderful Temples and Queer Priests
Of This Sect-One Japanese Tenn
pie That Will Cost $S,O0O,-
OOO-Mlssionary Work.

TT will be surprise to many, writes
Frank G. Carpenter in the New
| York Press, to know that there is
strong Buddhist revival going
on in the japanese Empire. They
even talk of sending missionaries to
the United States and to the Asiatic
countries, including China and Korea
and India.
Buddhism is the religion of Siam,
Burmah, Japan and Korea. 1t has
millions of followers in China and In
dia. In Japan alone there are ~. 600
Buddhist temples. In the city of
Kioto, which is about as big as Wash
ington, there are $500 temples devoted
to this religion. Some Of the most
gorgeous temples in the world are the
wonderful structures in which Buddha
is worshiSped at Bankok in Siam. At
Rangooa, in Burmsh, is the famous
structure known as the Golden Pagoda,
which is said to rest over several of the
hairs which came from Buddha's head.
This temple is mountain OF gold, or
rather of brick and stone plastered over
with gold leaf. Built upon a mighty
platform, its base is about aquarter OF
mile in circumference, from which
these terraces of gold 60 upward in
belllike stories to height almost as
great as the Washington Monument.

around which children's bibs are tied.
There are other gods which are sup
posed to help babies in teething..
There are some which are good for
the stomach ache and others which
will cure sore eyes. In some Of the
temples are sacred ponies which you;
may feed with holy beans at one cent,
plate and gain religious credit
thereby. These are. I think, how
ever, more connected with the Shinto
temples. ...-.
There is famous white horse at
the temples of Use which is supposed
to be gifted with supernatural powers.
According to the stories current in
Japan, he has good deal to do with
the wsrlike matters of the empire, for
after the Sstsuma rebellion he disap-
peared and did not come back for
three days. His return on the third
day was considered very propitious
of the success of the Emperor's cause.
During the present struggle with
China he disappeared again, and after
ten days returned looking fresh and
we'll. The prophets of Japan state
that this indicated Japan's victories
over China, and that the hostilities
would last three times as long as the
Satsuma rebellion.
There is no part of the East where
the missionaries do more work than
in Japan, and they have stirred the
Buddhists into action. Many of the
Japanese do not like the idea that
their country should be field for
missionary labors, and some of the
people think that such mission work
as is done should be done by native
pastors. Not long ago the question
of foreign missions came up in Par
lament, and it was argued from one
standpoint that the missionaries ought
to be tolerated because they brought
a great deal of money into the coun-
try. It was stated in the papers at
that time that there were $50 foreign
missionaries in Japan, and they aver
age at least $100 per month, making
total of $65, 900 per month spent by
the missionaries. It will thus be seen
that the Christian churches annually
spend in Japan at least $3.50, 900 a
year, and these expenditures, the ma
tive papers thought, ought to be en-
couraged They stated that there
were 100000 Christians among the
Japanese, and there were 1900 Japan.
ese pastors. The missionaries in Japan
are, in reality, doing great deal OF
earnest work. 's |>.t.. &c.

When I first visited this temple the
logs were being dragged about from
one place to another with great cables
of brownish- black, in which, here and
there. you could see threads of white.
The ropes looked very curious to me,
and I asked what they were. I was
told that they were made of the
hair of women who had cut off their
locks and given them for this purpose
as an Offering to Buddha. Over 200,-
900 women cut off their hair, to make
these ropes. Some of them were as
big around as your leg, others were no
thicker than q clothes-line. These
ropes have now been all collected to-
gether. They are wrapped up in
great coils on the portico which runs
around the temple, and they will be
kept as one of it's treasures. Not long
ago section of the rope was sent to
the National Museum at Washington,

A FAYoRrTE COLOR.

One of the favorite colors this sea-
son is warm purple shade with an
admixture of faint pink, exactly the
tint which a few years since was
called puce, and proved such a be-
coming background to those who re-
joiced in golden locks and a clear
complexion. Of course, petunia, as it
is now called, shows to greatest advan-
tage il miroir velvet, corded silk, or
other rich fabrics which permit of
lights and shadows, falling upon the
folds so that they blend in an exqui-
site harmony. This color is much in
request for theatre gowns.

REIGN OF THE ENORMOUS SLEEVE.

Sleeves now extend straight out on
a level with the shoulders, forming q
horizontal line, which from the two
projecting points of the sleeves often
measure two yards across. Forum
ately these excresences are pliable,
otherwise people in the public con-
veyances would be seriously incom-
NODDED by the present fashions. This
squared effect of the shoulders is
greatly enhanced by the straight tabs
and berthas which. are now worn and
which extend out over the sleeves
without any folds.

EMBROIDERED CHIFFON FOR

EMBROIDERED CHIFFON FOR TRIMMING.
The popularity of diaphanous trim
ming fabrics continues, and embroid-
cred chiffon is one of the fancies OF
the moment. Black chiffon embroid-
cred in gold, blue, pink, pale-green,
indeed all shades of color, is much
liked for trimming black dresses. A
black satin waist is almost covered
with chiffon about a quarter of yard
wide. The ground of this is black,
the edge is embroidered in pink, and
tiny rosebuds in pink with green leaves
ore scattered over it. Some of these
trimmings are close fitting, others are
ruf1ed and set on with just enough
fullness to make them graceful.
Crlmped and plated chiffon comes by
the yard and is very easy to use, be-
sides furnishing ingenious women with
the opportunity to adjust and arrange
in novel and becoming fashions these
exquisite gsrnitures.

hundreds of carvers were turning
other logs into works of fine art.
Everything was done by hand. I'M
mense beams, such as would be load
for team of Norman horses, were be-
ing carried up to the top of the struc-
ture by women and men. A road
about fifteen feet wide had been built
upon scaffolding, making an inclined
plane running clear to the roof OF the
structure. A hundrd or so men would
catch hold of one of these logs and
carry it up on their backs. There was
then, and there is still, an immense
scaffolding about the temple made of
thousands of poles tied together with
ropes. These poles were of all sizes,
from that OF fishing rod up to a
telegraph pole. They looked very in

The train consisted OF six passenger
coaches, an express car, g mail car and d

one Of the men opened the express car door
and presented revolver at the head OF John
Page, who was In charge Of the car. In the
car with Page were his helper, Lewis Hawk,
and Baggageman Ed. Wright. The other
robber covered these Two. - \:
Ranging them up in line along the side OF s
the car, one Of the robbers covered them with
revolver In each hand, and the other pro-
ceeded to bind and gag their victims. The
ropes and materials for this purpose they
took from bag which one OF them carried.
This done. the robbers leisurely proceeded TO
rifle the express safe. Z y
They dumped everything It contained Of
value into the bag from which they took the
ropes and gags, meanwhile scoff1ng at the.
prisoners. When they had secured all there
apparently was OF value they calmly awaited
the arrival Oft the train at the Chicago, NIL

press c.r to speak TO Page. he was also
held up by one OF the robbers, while the:
other bound and gagged him. like the rest. 3
How much the robbers secured was not
known, as the e1pressman himself did not,
know what the value OF the contents Of the
sale was. But itreached at least $I0, 900.
