COMMON SENSE ON PUNCTUATION.
Batch of Rales That Are in Accord
With Modern Methods.


"Whose punctuation do you follow p"
The answer is, our own. Unlike
D'Israel's alleged Sensible mem
who, when asked what their religion
Is, "never teil"-we are willing and
glad to tell what our rule of punctua.
ton is. Here you have it in few
words:
l. Never use comma if "the way
faring man, though fool" can grasp
the meaning of the text without it.
2. Never use semicolon when q
comma will serve the author and the
reader as well.
3. Never use colon when semi
colon will serve as we'll.
4. Wherever there is no climacteric
effect to be preserved, cut up your
semicoloned and colonel sentence in
to short sentences.
5. Use commas and periods as your
standbys.
6. Use the semicolon chiefly to bet
ter express antithetis, and to group
phrases and clauses.
7. Use the colon chiefly in formal
enumeration, after "viz. >" ""as follows"
and the like.
s. Use the dash to indicate an alb
rupt break in the sentence, an after
'hought, and, in many instances where
in olden times the parenthesis was
used, to indicate that the words in
cluded are parenthetically employed.
8. Use the parenthesis only when
you find dashes are not sufficiently
exclusive.
10. fssver use brackets except where
you ia art some word of your own in
a quotaS1on from some other author.
IL. Never use an interrogation point
except when your question is direct;
e. g., it would be improper to use it
after "girl" in this sentence: "He
asked what allied the girl"
These are our rules to-day. To-
morrow, if we see any new light, we
shall follow it. But we are not likely
to stray away from the course above
marked out. Punctuation, like SEN

For Curling the Hair.

Curling iron manufacturers will not
begin to believe it, but there are quite
afew women left who curl their hair on
hairpins or curl papers over night.
That's all right as long as a woman's
single, so the married ones assert, but
they do say that this method won't
do at all after q woman is married.
Why? Because there is nothing that
the average man dislikes more than
curl papers, unless it is the horns
which appear after woman has skew
cred up her front hair on lot of
barbed-wire fence hairpins. An in
ventive genius has made it possible
for woman to do her hair up, as the
overnight curling process is called,
and at the same time to enhance her
beauty, if anything. This is done by
the use of a set of hairpins and small
rods and a few bits of baby ribbon.
The hair is wound in and out on a
hairpin and piece of ribbon which
has its two ends left out. When this
is completed the two ends of ribbon
are tied in pretty little bow, the
hairpin slipped out and there you are
with your hair done up on ribbon. The
rods are used to wave the hair in the
much-desired pompadour style and
there are other little instruments in
the outfit which make the most natural
curls on the forehead and neck.
Think how much more comfortable. as
well as becoming, to sleep with the
hair done up on ribbon than on steel
or wire. And then it is mere child's
play to accomplish this, for the outfit
is simple and perfect as well as mex
pensive.

In the proceedings of the boards of
education of New York and Chicago
much attention has been given of late
60 the question as to whether married
women should be permitted to remain
as teachers in the public schools. In
Chicago, where DR.. Andrews is now
superintendent, he has expressed the
opinion that "each application of a
married woman should be decided on
its merits" a statement which means
that if she has a husband living and if
she ought to be with him, it is her
duty to stay there. In New York,
however, the ruleis hard and fast that
married women cannot be employed
in the public schools.

Pearls Made to Order.

M. Boutin, of the Sorboune, since
the announcement of his successful
production of pearls in the Roscoff
laboratory, has been inundated with
letters from fashionable ladies who
either want to know where they can
buy these artificial products or whether
they should lose no time in disposing
of valuable pearl ornaments. TO the
trade, however, NJ. Boutin's discovery
causes little agitation, for the dealers
well know that he has merely done
what has been for years familiar
trick with the heather Chinee. A lit
tie pellet of some foreign substance
introduced between the shells of the
oyster will in the course of few weeks
become coated with the beautiful iri-
descent material known as mother-of-
pearl. But the result is not genuine
pearl of any value, for thatis growth
which only comes to perfection after a
considerable lapse of time. Such a
process of nature cannot be hurried. -

demonstrated that where reasonably
convenient harbor gives access to the
great ocean highways of the world,
where there has been the intelligence
TO note its possibilities and enterprise
to grasp the opportunity, there mari
time commerce has invariably built up
splendid city. To such city natur-
ally gravitate art, literature, science,
wealth and luxury. No such city
grows of its own accord The great
seaports of both ancient and modern
days have owed their successful de-
velopment to the energy of their mer-
chants in establishing maritime inter-
course with the outside world. The
harbor was but the fortuitous Incl

Striking Contradictions.

A great contrast will often be found
to exist between authors and their
works, melancholy writer's being the
most jocular in society usually, and
humorists in theory the most lu-
gubrious mortals in practice.
'The Comforts of Human Life," by
r. Heron, was written in prison under
the most distressing circumstances.
"The Miseries of Human Life," by
Beresford, was, on the contrary, COM
posed in drawing room where the
author was surrounded by the best os
every thing, and Burton, the author of
the Anatomy of Melancholy" was
extremely facetious in conversation.

The proposition of local architeo.,
says the Philadelphia Press, to con-
struct a playground on the roof of a

proposition, thought not absolutely
new. 1t is the adaptation on large
scale of an idea that has been worked
out to perfection in the crowded tene-
nent districts CT every great city. If
it is possible to make a back yord for
kite flying and clo.Aes- drying on the

wide acceptance in all parts OF the
country. In employments women
have invaded mans sphere. They
almost displaced men as teachers in
the public schools OF some cities. In
library work, bookkeeping and type
writing woman begins to hold the field,
ana there are very many lines of busi-
ness in which she is numerous.
Our census reports show a perma-
nent change of habits in the direction
of substituting women for men in va
rious occupations. As women have
become breadwinners they have be-
come much more self-reliant than for
merly. Women are found to make
good treasurers of societies. They
now more frequently have an allow
ance and keep bank books, even when
not bread-winners. The legal position
of women as respects property has
been greatly changed in their favor.
The movement has, perhaps, gone too
far in States where husbands are still
liable for wives debts, while wives
are not liable for husbands debts.
Socially woman has, held her own
and taken something of mans GUS
toms. She has her clubs in some
sections in great numbers. These
have given great opportunity of work,
study and mutual cooperation among
women. They have accustomed wom-
en- to leadership, to rules of order,
and to business methods. Much Of
their work may be thus far elemen-
tary and superficial, but this evil
will cure itself. f.-Baltimor Sun.

The Hairdressing of To-Day.

1t is sad to relate that on the whole
this end of the century has nothing
characteristic in the way of hair dress.
ing to show. Our great grand-chil-
dren will never bark back to 1898, as
we do in 179S, for some lovely style to
adopt with fancy dress or borrow an
idea from us. Go to the theatre OF
opera if you like, for even bonnets are
no longer de rigeur, and you will be
sure to observe that the rule of head
dressing is ''go as you please" With
three horizontally fixed rear puffs the
hair is well arranged for the street,
though the majority of women prefer
to roll up the length of their tresses in
heavy long lump and fasten that as
low as possible on the neck. With
some women this bag of hair lies even
out on the shoulders, and with long
short-toothed comb, that crosses the
base of the head behind the ears,
everything is somehow made fast.
These combs are nothing more than
the old round pompadour combs put
to a new use. One drawback to this
headdress, as adopted by day, is that
it can rarely be kept tidy; it is lu-
dicrous with the new hats, and the
natural hair grease rubs off on the
shoulders of the gown. In the even.
ing it is very pretty, for mass Of
bright, black, yellow or brown hair
down on white shoulders is becoming
to most women, while some of these
combs are topped with brilliants, and
at either end the jewels form sort OF
rosette, or two big glittering buttons
behind the wearer's ears. Not wisp
of bang is seen feathering out on any
thoughtful white forehead, and only
one new hair ornament is talked about.
This is little jeweled fchain about
eighteen inches long, having a fuschia
in diamonds or daisy at either end.
The chain is meant to be woven among
the coils of hair, and the flowers OF
brilliants peep out at any point de-
sired. Over in Paris q number Of
these hair chains are worn. Some of
them, draped over the coiffure, are
punctuated with small jeweled flowers
at every inch, others consist of
chain of small curved gold bells that
tinkle musically at every movement Of
the head they adorn. New York Sun.

Num- of Old-Time Danes.

Like many another article of dress,
the muff was at first the exclusive
property of the nobility, but when it
appeared in Venice 1t was carried by
women of the highest rank. The first
Venetian muffs were very small, made
of a single piece of velvet, brocade or
silk, lined with fur, the openings fas-
tening with exquisite buttons of gold
and silver enriched with precious
stones.
By 1862 the muff seems to have
been recognized as a necessary ad-
iunct of the wardrobe of a lady of
fashion. In Evelyn's "Mundus Mu-
6ebris," written at this time, num-
bers of gowns, ''boddices," shoe
buckles; of perfumed gloves, 'jon-
quill, tube rose, frangipan, orange,
violet, narcissus, jessamin, ambrett,
and some of chicken skin for night to
keep her hands plump, soft and
white" are enumerated, and also
'three muffs of ermine, sable, gray. :"
At the time of the national convention
in Paris the muffs were large and fiat,
fantastic as were all the fashions of
that time. In colonial days in Amer
lea they were also very large, but
round.
About 1880 the muffs were princi-
pally of chinchilla, of moderate size,
and were often used with what would
seem to us an incongruous combina-
tion of straw bonnets and thin slip
pers.
In an old "Dictionaire Amoureux"
the muff is defined as "letter box
lined with white satin. The Cosmo-

LIQUID AIR IS DANGEROUS.
Brooklyn Professor Experiments
with Red PhOsphorus and
10 Hurt.

While experimenting with red phos-
phorus in liquid air, Prof. Irving w.
Fay, in the chemical laboratory Of the
Polytechnic institute, Brooklyn, the
other day, had his face burned and hin
eyes we're temporarily sightless. Ths
shook OF tho explosion stunned him.
Whether 1t is the phosphorus Of the
liquid air that explodes no one knows.
Some remarkable experiments with
the liquid air had been performed pre-
vious to the explosion. Butter in the
liquid air was reduced to fine, dry
dust; an oyster became as hard as the
shell from which it was extracted.
Prot. Fay placed half pint of mer-
curry in q paper mold and poured over
the surface iqueded aid. The quick
silver was frozen into rigid bar so
cold that 1t blistered the flesh to touch
1t. He fastened weight Of 40 pounds
to the bar and it thswed sufficiently
to let the weight fall in IS minutes
only.
The professor poured liquid air over
alcohol, and soon the latter was frozen
into q snowy mass Of crystals. He
stirred this mass and reduced It to the
condition of viscid sugar. He lifted
that out with stick, from which it
hung down in an icicle seven or eight
inches long. He poured more liquid
air over 1t and 1t was rigid.
