or Tow psyche does not matter, she
must appear with these four little curls,
each a trifie over an inch in length, rather
loose and dangling. two on each side of
the head, the higher about halfway Up,
the lower just touching the neck
1t is just two years since curls came
into fashion, and then they went out
quickly. This new style seems likely to
stick, however for Ii is very becoming
and exceedingly popular already.
The hair nowadays among the very best
persons is dressed to give IL wavy, loose
appearance in the back, especially with
the younger women of society. Even the
Straightest stiffest, most obdurate locks
stand this treatment well, and the "psy-
che or some variation of IL suits almost
every girl.
Whether the psyche" be worn high or
low, these curls look exceedingly well,
and add much to the daintiness of the
hair.
The girl whose hair will not curl need
not despair She can easily keep i'm the
fashion and at very little cost. These
new curls can be bought at several shops
for from 30 cents up. and one of the
SWEETEST New York girls of the day is
wearing at this moment 'boughten'' curls,
which she secured at s. for the four.
Pinned on in precisely the proper place.
these look exceedingly natural and could
not be detected from the real.

some Ways Of spanish women.

Spanish women who are fortunate live
in the most magnificent homes and seem
never to bother their heads about the
poorer sisters at their doors. The favor
lite resort of the grande senoras is San
Seha astian. and the lives the careless Span
ish women of fashion lead there during
the Summer are said to be a scandal all
over Europe. There is scarcely pretense
at propriety or even ordinary convention
ality. As in France, majority of the
young girls of the best families are edu-
Gated i'm the converts. Their greatest ac-
complishment is embroidery. and they sit
and sit and sit at their knitting until
SOME man from an ancient and bankrupt
house or a bull-raisng plantation comes
along and marries them. Club life is un-
known. Marriages are celebrated very
early i'm life. and but few people who get
weary of these early alliances ever go to
the trouble and formality of getting a di-
Vorce. The unhappy couples simply divide
up the household things and live the bal
ance Of their lives the best way they can.

A WOman's First Duty.

There is duty a woman who chooses
a domestic life has to perform. Her cb-
legations do not cease with doing her
duty by her children. The one who has
made her a queen of his home is .he
one worthy of her first love and consid-
Grafton. How many a man has felt the
need of sympathy, has craved some of
the love and attention which is being
lavishly bestowed upon his children. and
has felt discouraged. grown careless
and Indifferent and sought consolation
elsewhere. II no woman would marry
except she has taste for a domestic
life. and the making of a home her sole
ambition. and no woman enter bust
ness or professional career except the
one who has especial talent and aptitude
for that work. what a joyful word we

COMf1ON CATARRH

Here is patient taking treatment for Catarrh
In the Head. He breathes the soothing medication
through his nostrils, and the nasal channels open
up, the stuffed-up feeling in the head leaves, ard
he can breathe naturally through the nose again.
The dull pains across the front of the head fade
away, and the nasal membrane is soothed until
inflammation and soreness are all gone. The bad
odor of the breath passes away, and the lost
OF smell returns The dropping in the throat is
checked, the nose docs not stop up toward night
any more. the sneezing and snuffing have ceased,
the discharge from the grows less and less
and finally stops altogether The disease has been
checked and eradcated from the system before it
reached the throat. IL has not been driven

ears. as is SO often done by other treatments.

We Shall Miss Weyler.

From the Chicago Chroniclel
The appearance of Weyler anywhere within
shooting distance of American troops would be
hailed with pious delight. His advent in a given
neighborhood would insure that neighborhood
being explored as with fine-tooth comb in the
hope of discovering him. There would be no need
OF especial inducements to bring troops into the
field If Weyler were on the other side. Men
would sit up all night with the hope Of getting
a shot at him. The recruiting officers would have
to hold overflow meetings
II is much to be regretted. therefore, that
the warlike operations will probably begin and
end at On land Weyler would be a con-
tinual incitemcnt to valor for the United States
forces. He would be worth an army corps to

The horse of Liberia Is small pony but
heavy and capable Of good service Owing
TO the want Of roads and bridges in the
country, these horses have never been put
TO any practical use by the Liberians At
present they can only be obtainsd from ma
i've tribes far in the interior. A few inn
ported donkeys are used for riding DUR
poses about the coast towns. The cattle of
the country are of two kinds-th, small
shorthorns of the coast lowlands and the
large longhorns Of the interior hill country
Inc shorthorns are remarkable for their
small size and sleek and vari-colored skins
while the longhorns are singularly docils
and graceful in form-bearing a resem-
blance to certain breeds of northern India.
A thrifty breed Of goats prevails through
out the land, the flesh of which is much
relished as food. Sheep are small and
hardy, and their skins are covered with
snort smooth hair, instead of wool In
color they are white. black, red and yell
low, the majority being more or less streak-
ed and spotted. They ars frequently
thought to be goats by foreigners, when
nrst seeing them. Hogs are plentiful, and
require but little attention. The breed Is
inferior, but Is readily improved, as may be
inferred from the fine, large porkers one
sometimes sees in the streets Of Monrovia
and other towns. Turkeys and geese grow
to a good size and thrive well at a little
distance from the seacoast. Chickens IRE
of small, lean variety, but 1t has been
proved that fine American breeds will Do

obtained grant of land in the Alabama
