The luxuriant head of hair has been,
and always will be, one of the most inn
portant ornaments of feminine beauty.
sss
Women, as a rule, know very little
about the care of the hair. with The re-
suit that they have not such attractive
looking heads as they should have. A
fine head OF hair is supposed to be a
sign of vigor and health.
The hair. to be kept In good condi-
ton, should not be irritated by too Wig
orous treatment. There is as much diff
erence in the quality of the hair as
there is in the skin Of the face. and 1t
needs the same careful and systematic
attention to keep it as 1t ought to be
kept.
Taking care of IL one week and ne
glecting IT the next Will do no good
whatever.
Some women's hair is fine and silky
while others is coarse and bristly. but
whatever the hair may be. it requires
equal attention.
The scalp, like the pores of the face
must be kept clean to be In healthy
condition. When IL is dry and hard, II
requires n nourishing tonic. Some peo-
pies hair, after being washed, Will dry
more quickly than others. II Is not gooc
| for II to be too dry; so. when this Is the
| case, be sure and use tonic.
Many people differ about how otter
| the hair should he washed. There car
| be no rule about IL, as every head needs
| different treatment. For instance
| some people wash their hair once I
| month only, while others find that un
| less they wash 1t once fortnight !
| looks dirty and feels uncomfortable
Hairdressers generally advise once
| month. but IL your hair Is dirty befor
| that IL should be washed,as seal
that is not kept clean cannot do tn
| hair any GOOD.

Probably Few OF the thousands OF
good people in whatever walks of life
who take advantage of the uneoualled
opportunity Afforded by the trolley OF
enjoying q pleasurable hot weather

thought to the question as to what

The trolley is. Of course. a highly

one gets an outing and an airing on

II appears moreover that ''society"

the trolley has not waited to be ap-

At last Camp Alger Is to be moved.
The new camp ground Is near the old
Bull Run battlefield and II is said that
conditions there make 1t reasonably
healthful. The Falls Church site seems
TO have been more dangerous than a
battle. The selection Of that place and
the sending of troops there after the
conditions were known has been Pc

WAR REVENUE.

II will be recalled that the Issue OF
war boads authorized by Congress
amounts to s4oo,oooooo of which $780,
600 600 were offered and are taken up. IL
is reported to be improbable that the
balance will be offered unless peace Is
prolonged or war is more costly than
now appears likely.
Meanwhile the war revenue taxes are
mounting up splendidly. 1t was figured
that these special taxes would yield
about sioo, 900, 900 annually though there
were sanguine souls who, figured the
possible returns at twice that. But 1t
now seems certain that the revenue
will reach $4,000 900 and where 1t Will
stop between that and $500,000,00O no
one feels like conjecturing. The returns
for July figure at the rate Of million
and a half day and a number OF
sources provided In the bill had not be-
gun to yield what later months Will
surely show. The American people are
paying there special taxes with cheer
fu,ness and even enthusiasm regarding
them as anything but a burden-rather
as privilege of the non-combatant pa
troit. 1t is splendid showing, indeed

Moth-Eaten Massachusetts,.

While the Boston and Springfield anti
imperialists are passing their days and
nights in signing petitions and writing let
tiers to Mr.. MCKINNEY, those ancient enc
mics of Massachusetts,, the gypsy moth
and the brown-tailed moth, are preparing
to expand and ravage. It is a sad fact that
Massachusetts,, which is always trying to
cannot save herself. Gypsy and brown
tail are too much for her. She howls for
help. Her State Board of Agriculture will
ask the Legislaturet to ask Congress for an
appropriation to destroy gypsy and brown
tail. 1t is an old habit of Massachusetts, to
let the moths eat her up while she is lectur-
ing. then to appeal to Congress.
Congress will be obliged to tell the worthy
old petitioner to help herself. Turn
against the moths the energy and the
funds which the Anti-Imperialist League
and" the Massachusetts Reform Club are
now turning against the Philippines. Form
an Anti Moth Expansion League. Stop
worrying about tho brown Malays and fight
the brown-tailed moths. II the Legislature
will appropriate a small sum and authorize
the; Hon. ALADDIN ATKINSON to furnish
a danny table d'h6te dinner to the moths,
they will leave tho State at once. Better
emigration than torture. We
Massachusetts, has packed herself away
among the old clothes of old %prejudices,
while the rest of the country is marching

Miles Bill and Hull Bill.

The army bill of Gen. MILES and the one
introduced by Mr.. HULL, Chairman of the
House Military Committee, are alike in pro-
viding for a force of about 100000 men,
which is the strength proposed by Secretary
ALGER and approved by the President in
his annual message. But as to the organ
ization of this force the two measuree differ
widely.
Gen. MILEss bill proposes fifteen regi-
ments Of cavalry, fourteen OF seaconst
and two of field artillery, two of engineers,
and fifty Of infantry, making a total OF
eighty-three regiments, in place Of the
forty-two, with an engineer battalion, exist
ing now. Mr.. HULL, on the other hand,
provides for only twelve regiments OF cav
airy, one Of engineers, and thirty of infan-
try, with a corps Of artillery comprising 144
coast and t~wenty-fuur field batteries, the
present organization Of the artillery arm
being discontinued, II We reckon twelve
batteries TO a regiment as now Mr.. HULL's
artillery force Is equivalent To fourteen reg
imcnts, and this would give us virtually
tfty-seven regiments. against the forty-two
existing and the eighty-three proposed by
Gen. MILES.
IN VHou " o "o'h 'ho"S'ue coHbinie
the hires battalion system, the regiments
in the Miles bill must be smaller than those
in the Hull bill. The former allows ga ell
listed men 10 a troop OF cavalry, 100 to a
battery of heavy artillery, and SO TO a field
battery, % to a company Of infantry, and
100 to company Of engineers. The Hull
bill assigns 1o7 enlisted men to a troop,
i2o to a coast or field battery, 145 to an
infantry company and $50 to an engi-
neer company. The Miles bill allows 1000
enlisted men to a cavalry regiment,
1882 to q field artillery regiment and
| 1900 each to an infantry and q seacoast

artillery regiment. The Signal Corps con-
tains dio enlisted men under the Miles bill
and $50 under the Hull bill the Medical
Department 500 hospital stewards and
acting hospital stewards and ? 1000 p~rivates
| under the former and $50 and 1000 re-
spectively under the latter; the Ordnance
Department 500 enlisted men under the
| former and the force now authorized bylaw
under the latter.
When we turn to the commissioned ofl-
GERS we find that Gen. MILEs's bill proposes
many more than Mr.. HuLL's. II provides,
exclusive OF staff departments, for one
General, two Lieutenant-Ge Generals, eight
Major-Generals, six being OF infantry and
one each Of cavalry and artillery, and
twenty-five Brlgadier-qenerals eighteen
being OF infantry and two each Of cavalry
and artillery. The Hull bill, on the other
hand, limits itself to one L~ieutenantLGen-
cral, six MajorIGenerals and twelve Briga-
dier-Generals. We hare now only three
Major-Generals and elk Brlgadiers on the
active list. Gen. MILES makes the Adju-
tantIGeneral and the Inspeetor-G General
Major-Generals instead of Brlgadiers, as
now and as under the Hull bill. In the line
we and eighty-one Colonies and e%ighty-one
Lieutenant-C olonels In the Miles bill, against
ffty-six Of each In the Hull bill; 243 Majors
against 1853; e72 Captains against s12;
1874 First L~ieutenants against $50; e72
Second Lieutenants against 672. There Is
q total Of 3,51e line officers In the Miles
bill. against 2,e15 in the Hull bill.
OF course in the staff there are CORE
spending increases In both bills, but the
most noteworthy point Of general differ
ence between them Is perhaps that In the
Adiutant-G Generals, Quartcrmaster's, and
Subsistence departments Gen. MILES fills
vacancies by transfers from the line for q
term OF years, after which the officers so
transferred return to their line duties, the
purpose being to educate q large number of
officers for staff service; whereas Mr.. HULL
retains the present system OF q permanent
staff. Neither bill undertakes to provide a
general staff like that of European countries.
The substitution Of a corps OF artillery,
under an Inspector-G General OF Artillery,
for the present regimental organization, is
a very noteworthy feature Of the Hull
bill. The coast line for this purpose is
divided into two parts, the Atlantic and the
Pacific, each under an Inspector-General of
Artillery with the rank Of Colonel, and each
including the islands properly appertaining
thereto. Still another striking point in
the Hull bill is its provision for the Increase
Of one-fourth of tho pay of officers and
soldiers sent out to the West Indies or the
Pacific islands, and there serving. But this
increase will not go to native soldiers re-
crulted for such organizations. In this
bill, too, all promotions above the grade of
Captain are to be filled by seniority promo
ton in the several arms; those in lower
grades by a system set forth in detail.

Curiosity About Private Fortunes.

One Of the yellow journals Of this city
lately printed a list OF box-holders in the
Metropolitan Opera House, with estimates
appended of the amount Of each ones
wealth. 1t followed up this publication by
sending reporters to the persons named in
the list to ask II the estimates were correct,
and, II not, how much they should be in
creased or diminished.
or course, the citizens whose private af-
fairs were thus brought before the public,
have no legal ground of compl amt. 1t is
not a libel on a man to say that he has so
many millions of dollars worth OF property,
and It certainly does not iniure his mer-
camille credit Only, the fact that in the
opinion OF the conductors OF n New York
newspaper of large circulation information
in regard to his private affairs is desired by
its readers, and will be welcomed by them,
indicates, if they are right, that New York
is still in the social condition Of n country
village, and that its inhabitants, like vii.
layers, love to gossip about people whom,
solely on account Of their reputed wealth,
they,regard as objects of interest.
Our own judgment is that the people OF
New York are not such village gossipers as
the FOLLOW journals give ground for think.

OF rich, men and women, the reports OF
their doings, their entertainments, their

are intended for country readers, and not
for homo consumption. In tho absence OF
q royal court and a titled nobility, ouI
bucolic fellow citizens seize upon the petty
distinctions which differences of wealth
create. and cxalt the favorites of MammoI
into idols for tea-table worship. New
Workers, we believe. are more metropolitan,

Old Debt to the Government.
RALEIGH, N. c.. Dec. 13.-The State Of North
Carolina has incurred an expense OF 10000 in
organizing and %equipping two regiments OF
white troops and one regiment Of colored
troops for the war with Spain. The bills for
these expenses have been made out and for
warded to W. W. Brown. Auditor Of the War
Department. and about 5000 has been paid.
and $6S3.55 has been audited and sent TO the
Treasury division OF bookkeeping and war
rants for check to be sent to the State. About
the time this account reached the Treasury
Department. r. J. Tracewell. the Comptroller
of the Treasury. filed an opinion which stopped
the payment of any money to this State.
Il appears that many years ago the Federal
Government invested Indian trust funds In
ffty-eight 9 per cent. $1,000 bonds Of this
State. issued in 1855 In aid OF the construction
OF the Western North Carolina Railroad. OF

Here is the cry OF q young, indignant
soul. Very young. Twenty-four must be
the exaRgeration OF emotion. We are in

and hands, affects TO scorn "girls," but
can it be that a young man of "a grumbles

He might be pardoned II he had consci-
