Hair Dressing Styles.

One of the most absurd ideas we
women are possessed of is that we
must adopt new style of coiffure, no
matter how unbecoming, because it is
the latest thing out, Harriet Hubbard
Aver recently remarked.
Since the pompadour made its ap-
pearance 1 believe more women have
been sacrificed to the Juggernaut of
fashion than ever before.
Now, the pompadour is becoming
to women with rather low forehea dis
and round faces. 1t is, in it's unmod-
fled form, wretchedly unbecoming to
hollow checked women with high fore
heads.
Before settling on the style of hair
dressing she is to adopt woman shonld
take an account of her head, face and
figure after this fashion:
A short, fat woman should dress
her hair SO that it will give an ap.
pearance of additional height to her
figure.
When the head is round the hair
dressing should always be high.
A very round head with the hair
gathered in pug at the nape OF the
neck gives a woman an utterly inane,
goose-like look.

size Of the nose. the shape of the head

The Crafty Jinrikisha-man the Bane and

Onoto Watanna, the gifted Japan

Carriage of Japan in The Woman's

tion Of the most picturesque laborer
OF her native land: 1.-The iinrikisha-
man waits at the street corners and
solicits fares, though this is contrary
to the exact police regulations. How
ever, the jinrikisha man is not always
as principled as he might be, and has
little, if any, regard for the police or
his regulations. He has no compunc-
tion whatever III overcharging the
scale of fares set by the police, but as
rule the customer himself pays but
little attention to this. Tho fa"e Is

and while they walk, and sometimes
great distances are covered before

General Botha.s Irish wife.

General Botha, the new Boer COM
mander-in- chief, has an Irish wife, a
Miss Emmett, a descendant of the
Irish patriot of that name, and the
Botha country seat, on the heights
between the Pongola River, near the
boundary line between the Transvaal
and Swaziland, bears traces of refine
ment, as we'll as of comfort and lux
ury, not usually found in Boer homes.
The house is comfortably furnished,
there is fine library, all the latest
European papers, grand piano, as
well as an organ, extensive green
houses and ferneries. The mansion
is surrounded by beautifully-kept
grounds and large avenues of trees.
General Botha is about forty five years
of age, tall and stout, and well edu
Gated. He is ood-natured, rather
slow of speech and manner, and does
not give one the impression of possess
ing the originality and military re-
source of General Joubert.

Small Oil Mills.

One of the most promising of all in.
dustrial developments of the South is
the establishment of individual or
neighborhood cotton oil mills to con-
sumo the cottonseed produced in the
immediate vicinity. These neighbor-
hood cotton mills have proved very
successful wherever they have been
built. The writer calls to mind one
such mill owned and operated by the
planters themselves that pays divi-
dend of from twenty to twenty-five per
cent. annually. This mill only con.
sumes the cottonseed that may be
hauled to it in wagons. It is kept in
operation scarcely two months during
the year, yet every planter who has
stock in the mill gets an annual divi-
dend of $40 to $25 on each 500 worth
of stock that he owns. In addition to
this profit, he gets good prices for his
cottonseed without shipping it, and he
is able to provide himself with cheap
oilcake and hulls for his cattle during
the winter.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Three women in a Car.


We saw three women in a street car
that were disfigured.
One, when she smiled, showed a
hideous cavity in her upper set Of
teeth.
One had dark mole on her cheek,
repulsive mole, not one like that
which Iachomo describes so amorously
to the jealous king.
The third had an ugly mark on one
side of her nose.
Apparently reconciled to their lot,
they talked together in high glee, Sis
ters in misfortune.
And we thought of stories-of Haw-
thorne's tale-of the old legend which
tells how Cutter won the daughter OF
Hippocrates and freed her from inn
prisonment in snakes body by kiss
ing her loathsome mouth.
Perhaps we dozed, for the sun was
hot and the car was slow.
We looked again with look of ad-
miration tempered with respectful
pity.
We rubbed our eyes.
The women were radiant, without
blemish.
They had all raised their black
dotted net wells. New York World.

the general type expressed must be
carefully considered.
A woman with Madonna-like face
is almost sacrilege in puffs and
frizzes. She is quite out of place ex.
cept with her hair in bandeaux.
On the contrary, girl with pug
nose, short upper lip and generally
piquant make up, masqueradIng in a
Cleo de Merode coiffure, deceives no
one. She is only an imitation of the
type she aims at, and very palpable
one at that.
It is well to recollect that the hair
dressed forward" as the coiffure ex-
presses it, makes the features appear
to recede. II the features really pro-
rject. the forward style of hair-dress-
ing modifies this defect and is be-
coming.
In the large engraving six styles of
dressing the hair are shown. They
may be described as follows:
No. 1.-Elaborate hair dressing be-
coming only to women of regular fea-
lures.
No. 2.-Modifcation of the Ma
donna style.
No. 3.-For short women with high
foreheads.
No. 4. Becoming to one with
long, narrow face.
No. 5.--Becoming to an oval-faced
woman.
No. becoming to women with
round faces and low foreheads.

assimilate themselves to the prevail
ing mode by lavish use of tucks and
plaitings.
A model dress of this order is made
of Venetian cloth, of mauve so pale
as to be only shade or two removed
from white. The front of the skirt
has a panel of figured panne of a
deeper mauve tone; the sides and
back are of cloth laid in fat plaits,
stitched down. Small panniers are
laid in fine folds about the hips, seem
ing to be held by large silver clasps
at the waist in front and behind.
The bodice of this dress has a vest
of panne; Venetian cloth is draped
6chuwise about the shoulders and
carried in fine tucks down to the waist

'Just as we'll shoot at it as to bark at

When jeff reached home the world

strove to reason with himself. But
it was of no use to reason. He had
