AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES.



English workmen do not view with
complacency the introduction of the
American locomotives on the Midland
railway. They are not only an af-
front to their national pride, but they
see in them positive menace to the
engineers trades union, which has
been one of the most powerful in all
Europe. The American locomotive is
placed on the rails in Great Britain
at cost of from 20 to 80 per cent less
than the British makers can produce
the same sort of machine. So the
working of the American locomotives
Is watched with much more than ordi-
nary interest by men on both sides of
the ocean. If the machines can be
made thoroughly adapted to British
requirements at such a saving of cost
to the British railway companies, it
means that the British maker must
produce them at a like cost or else
be thrown out of the market. That
means lower wages to the British
workman, and against that he will
fight with all his characteristic OBJ
stinacy, as he has to the introduction
of labor saving machinery. Even the
long drawn cut and disastrous strike
which made possible the Introduction
of the American locomotive, has not
taught them the whole of their lesson.
There is even now proposition on
foot that the union of locomotive
drivers shall adopt rule prohibiting
members from handling an American
made locomotive, when the engineers
union shall reach the conclusion if it
does, that the Introduction Of the
American machine threatens seriously
the wages OF their trade.

Hints About Hairdressing.

In hairdressing it should never be
forgotten that with long face the
hair should be full over the ears and
never high on top; with wide face q
high coiffure is desirable. A long
nose should never balance large
knot at the back of the head. Thick,
mat-like curl fringes are vulgar and
give an animal expression to the face,
yet some elderly women look better
with curled bang, which seems to
soften the face. Wearing the hair
brushed off the face demands noble
forehead. A good roll, wave or loose
puff, pulled slightly forward, improves
some faces. Some foreheads look
better with hair drawn tightly off the
sides; others with tiny waves or
curls. If the cheekbones are promi-
nent fluff out the hair, for large face
the hair high and broad, part and
pretty waves slightly fuffed up above
the ears give youthfulness to middle
aged women, and rule that applies
to everyone is never to tie the hair,
roll, twist or arrange it in any way
tightly. This strains the roots of the
hair, is absolutely injurious and
makes any face hard. Neither should
many hairpins be used. If each pin
is made to do its duty and the hair is
arranged to fit the head, few pins will
be needed. Never use metal or wire
hairpins of any kind. They are ruin
Gus to the hair. Use the shell or the
imitation shell of medium size. A
young girl with pretty neck should
when in evening dress wear her hair
low, and woman with q short, fat
neck should wear hers high. Parting
the hair slightly at the side takes five
years away from the age, but too pro-
nounced parting is hard and mascu-
hne. Overelaborate hairdressing is
hot good form, and, as nature always
makes hair, skin and eyes to harmon
ize, dyeing is bad taste, as we'll as in
jurious. To be kept healthy and
glossy the hair must be brushed every
day, and even then the operation must
be accomplished quickly. Many peo-
pie use borax or ammonia in the
water. This is bad, for each dries
out the natural oil. If the hair is
naturally dry Immediately after wash
ing rub in o few drops of the best
olive oil and brush well. Most of the
fashions in hairdressing come from
the stage, as actresses are invariably
clever in arranging their hair to suit
their style of feature or to harmonize
with special costume. Then they
spread until everyone adopts the new
hair arrangement, often without stop
ping to learn if it is becoming to the
character and form of their features.

The skin-tight skirt, known fifteen
years ago as the "pull-back," Is com
ing into fashion again. The clinging
skirt has worked its way into favor
gradually, and now it is declared to
be the correct skirt of the day. This
new undergarment is made of finely
ribbed woven silk. The upper part of
it looks not unlike a jersey, only it is
much longer. 1t is pulled on in the
same way, over the head, and clings
to the figure. This sheath of woven
silk reaches as far as ten inches below
the hips. Here it is finished with o
band of coarse mesh lace insertion,
through which ribbons are run, which
are tied at the back, drawing the gar
ment closely to the figure. To this
band of lace insertion q silk hounce is
attached, which is now all that re-
mains of the ultra fashionable woman $
once cherished silk petticoat. With
this remarkable undergarment the
outer sheath-like dress skirt may be
seen to advantage in all its clinging
beauty. These garments may be pur-
chased i'll variety of colors, aud by
their trimmings of lace and ribbons
may be made exquisitely dainty. A
prominent society woman has just or
dered half dozen of these undergar-
ments in different pretty colors. One
to be worn beneath gray Venetian cloth
gown is of pale violet woven silk, cut
with low, round neck, which is
trimmed with frill Of lace caught in
the center with a rosette of shaded
violet baby ribbon. The same mar
row ribbon is run through the inser-
ton near the knees. The silk founce
is of deep violet peau de sole, trimmed
with two ruffies of the same silk,
which are appliqued with bands of
narrow mauve velvet. New York

Flowers For Summer Hats

Some novelties in flowers have TIP
peared. A large-sized pansy with six
or eight upper petals in prettily
gaufred silk and two lower petals of
velvet, variously marked, has metwith
immense success. 1t is one Of the
latest creations of Mile. Stanb, who,
besides exercising her profession of
premiere to wholesale house, directs
two municipal classes, where the art
of making artificial flowers is taught
in all its branches. This flower is re-
produced in no less than seventy diff

Monogram Fans the Latest Fad.

Fashion Notes.

White lace boleros will be worn ovel
white with the new black net and
mousseline de sole skirts.
Tucks have held their own as means
of decoration, and will be revived with
q flourish on our new summer gowns.
A new fad in French iewelry is a
flexible chain of gold with pearl set
in each end. This is wound around
the necktie and tied in bow as if it
were ribbon.
Clasps, SO that ribbon belts may be
easily interchangeable, have almost
superseded belt buckles. The newest
are of silver, gilded with q dull, red
dish finish, and with these pressed
velvet ribbon is used.
Spangled nets are more in demand
than ever for evening gowns. One Of
the newest black rets has incrusta-
tions of cream lace, between which
the spangles are sewn ON closely, en-.
veloping one another like fish scales.
True lovers knots in black and col
ored velvet and satin, stiffly wifed,
appear Oh some OF Jne new mats, ana
are employed to finish the decolletage
of evening gowns or to fasten the
Marie Antoinette fchu of house
gown.
A new idea is to disguise the exist
ence of any collar band at all, and to
carry the yoke itself in whatever fashion
it may be made up to the chin. Indi-
cations point to the reign of the plain
or simply rolled collar in the imme-
diate future, and it is said that chiffon
and lace ears and tabs and bows are
to be abolished from the nape of the
neck.
In Paris toques of maidenhair fern,
with large, stiff cabbage roses, are
popular. The more unnatural the
shade of the flowers the sweller are
they considered. White and black
tulle hats, and indeed white and black
hats of all sorts aud shapes, are like
wise very much worn, as are entire
toques and hats of Parma violets
trimmed on one side with white bird.

GUTTA-PERCHA SCARCE.
Oincult to Get Enough for q Pacific
Cable.

Gable.
In connection with the Pacific cable
q very interesting question arises, says
the Engineering Magazine. From
where is the gutta-percha for this gi-
gantic cable to come? Every whisper
Of the construction of transpacific
line sends the gutta-percha market at
Singapore up by leaps and bounds. The
ruling price Of the gum is the highest
that has ever obtained 1t is stated,
on what authority it is hard to say,
that the visible supply of gutta-percha
Is insufficient for the task, and that If
this cable is laid it will be the last-the
last with q gutta-percha insulation at
least.
While this pessimism on the part of
the gutta-percha producers savors
somewhat Of desire C stiffen the
market, there is yet sufficiently rea-
sonable foundation for it in the wanton
destruction of the gutta-percha forests.
1t will be interesting to see the out
come OF the situation If the United
States acquires an island in the Caro-
lines the building of the cable line
seems possible, though expensive. If
they do not find landing place the
operation of the cable seems to require
a prohibitiyely costly plant And
meanwhile there is the question of the
disappearing gutta-percha tree.
