DRESSING THR HAR.

A pretty variation in the arrange.
ment of ones hair just now II . small
part on one side of the pompadour.
Just on either side Of the part the hair
lies dat and is raised to soft pun BY
means of the necessary roll.
Women with gypsy skin and lux
uriant hair will dress it a la Trotajada
with a cluster Of bright flowers
massed above one ear and showing well
in front. The hair is fluffy waved and
coiled at the back at a medium height.
The pompadour has come to stay.
and though it has been worn for some
months now there is no sign that it is
to be discarded. The rolls wern next
the head to pun out the hair are very
Injurious If constantly used. making
the hair weak and causing it to fall.
Frequent changes in the mode of
dressing ones hair are desirable. for
towear ones tresses month after month
in the same way keeps the scalp unduly
heated and causes the hair to fall. Ar
tificial heat. such as gas or freight. is
likewise bad for the hair.
Scarcely a woman nowadays wears
the wire hairpin Of fame If she can
can get the small pins of shell or COM
mon bone. The wire pins are not
good. as they slide out on every provo
cation. and the bone pins stick. For
evening the curving side combs are set
with all sorts of pretty jewels and look
very well against the hair.

NAVY NEEDS MORE MEN.
for Good Seamen and Cripples
Service Of WaPships.

The navy is short 1000 men and Ap-
prentices in its enlisted force. with q
discouraging prospect Of securing the
necessary increase. This is due to the
condition of the merchant marine,
which gives employment practically to
all the able and ordinary seamen along
the coast. This is the class of men
the navy wants and cannot obtain as
fast as the requirements of the service
demand.
Coal passers and landsmen can be
found in abundance. but neither class
is fit for deck duty until given a year
or more of training.
Six months ago the navy had nearly
10000 men. or about 1900 short of the
quota, and 1,2OO of the $500 appren-
tices allowed. Now the total strength
of both is less than $4,000. Conse-
quently there are now scarcely enough
men for the vessels in commission. and
none available for the battleships and
other vessels that will be in condition
for service within the next three
months.
The departments plan il to instruct
its own seamen. 1t takes the green
landsman from the lake region or CEN
tral west whose experience on water
has been limited to river steamers and
ferry boats. and in eight months turns
them out full-fledged able seamen.
This policy was adopted several
months ago and is now being success
fully carried out. so that within eight
months there will be at least 1000
men available from this source for sea
duty.

OUR COLONIAL TRADE
Commerce with Cubs, Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippines.
A Big Increase Noted Both In In-
ports and Expo pefts-AGricu1tural
Implements F0rn Large Item
of the Latter.

Commerce between the United States
and Cuba, Porto Rico. Hawaii, and the
Philippine islands continues to grow
with amazing rapidity. The total Of our
imports from these islands was in nine
months of 1899 $50 .273. .224, against $34.-
471,276 in the corresponding months Of
1898 and $33.059, Jos in the same months
of 1897, while our exports to them in
nine months of 1899 were 29,921, ,773.
against $11, ,933. 1888 in the corresponding
months of 1898 and $11, ,4SO, ,l53 in the
same months of 1897.
From Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippines the imports Of the nine
months just ended are larger than in
any corresponding months in the his
tory of our commerce with those is
lands, though from Cuba they are nee
essarily less than in the years prior to
'he destruction of her sugar planta-
tions and works during the war with
Spain, our chief sugar supply at thai
time being brought from Cuba.
A study of the exports to those is
lands, and especially of the increase, in
dicates rapid development of the ag-
ricultural and business interests in the
territory supplied. Exports of agricul-
tural implements to Cuba IN the nine
months of 1899 amount to $79,2 ,226.
against $2.550 in the corresponding
months of last year and IS l65 in the
same months of 1897; to Porto Rico they
amount to s.. 1852. against 1926 last year
and $2,235 in the same months Of 1897.
Under the head OF carriages, cars and
other vehicles the exports to Cuba are
s112.73o. against $l9.56l in 1898 and ST.
346 in the same months Of 1897, while 10
Porto Rico they are $s,67l. against
$l.445 in the corresponding months Of
1898 and $s.Ss2 in 1897.
OF coal the exports to Cuba are $780,
243 tons. against 162.O49 last year and
III, ,422 in the same months of 1897; TO
Porto Rico the coal exports are 1882
tons, against 1888 in the nine months of

ANEcDorE OF QUEEN VICTORIA
She Throws One Of Her shoes to
C0npaay Of Guards.

An interesting story Of the queen II
told in '.Mainly About People" When
her majesty saw the guard off for the
Russian war. As years ago. the troops
marched in front of Buckingham pail
ace, where the queen and Prince AL
bert were looking on from balcony.
As the last company was going by
the young queen impulsively stopped
down, took of one of her shoes and
threw it among the troops. with the
old English idea of giving good luck. :"
Even the discipline Of the guard
broke down at that moment. and a
dozen scrambled for the dainty shoe.
Who actually secured the royal token
of good luck was never known.
Probably the guardsman who car
ried it of with him was among the
killed or missing on some Crimean
battlefield, and his knapsack may have
been plundered by marauders, who
had no idea where the little satin shoe
had originally come from.

It is the popular winter resort. The
suburbs are on a range of hills overlook
ing the ocean. and the residences. some
of them superb, are surrounded with
tropical trees, fruits and flowers. The
public conveyances are jinrikishas,
pulled by Zulus. The Zulus are the
finest specimens Of the black race in the
world. They are mahogany colored,
stalwart, intelligent and easily gov

put the horns of animals on their heads

their arms. Their arms, ears, legs and
