That the fashions in hairdressing is
gradually changing and the pompadour
is slowly but surely becoming passe, is
proven by. the accompanying illustra-
ton, which shows the tendency to part
the hair. Whether the part be worn di-
rectly in the centre or slightly to the
side matters little; the thing that
counts is that the days of the pompa-
dour are numbered.
The new style will be welcomed by
many, for it is a pretty one and affords
many opportunities to improve the APP
pearance and add to ones beauty.
AS the illustration shows, the hair,
according to the new fashion, will be
loosely curled and waved and drawn
loosely away from the temples and ar
ranged in coils and clusters of curls
at the back of the head. For dressy
occasions little punches of curls will be
tucked in among the coils at the left
side and will add greatly to the effect
and at the same time will have the eff
feet of greatly softening the counten-
anc9, which every one knows is a Won
derfuI aid to beauty. |

DEFRAupED OF MILLIONS.

There is something absolutely ad in the history of cotton farmers of the South. The sadness of it is made more plain as the vast losses sustained by them for more than a generation are brought out by the present price of cotton.
 What if cotton had brought fair price Tor the past twenty-five years? Have you ever made a calculation to see what it would have amounted to? You may safely set it down that the price received for co ton has been little more than onc-half the sum the raiser or the cotton should have received fo" It. When he was paid 5c it should have been at least 10c., and when it was 7c., it would have been at least 14 but for the manipulation of the mar kets and the inability of the traders of the South to buy cotton.
 There Is no use to grieve over split milk. The loss is irrecoverable. It a1forded the swindlers in New England and the gambler of Liverpool and New York opportunity to accumulate mil lions, and to press the South down and Keep 1t down, but a better day is breaking, and the thieves and enemies are losing their power.
 Cotton and Cotton Oil News is quite sure that more than one force has con- tributed to the result. The Southern farmer has grown stronger. and is bet ter able to defy the price-fixers. The cotton mill has come South. That is the main help. Other nations are eager to buy our cotton, and this has brought out better bids of some of the old robbers, and has forced them to abandon their own game. Then, the Farmers Union, the Southern Cotton Association and other self-defensive or ganfzations have helped us into liberty and independence.-Cotton and Cotton Oil News.

DRIED FISH AND DUCK.
Winter Delicacies Sent to This COuA-
try from China.

Winter Delicacies Sent to This COuA--
try from China.
There was joy among the ChinameI.
in Hartford yesterday, says the Hart
ford Courant, for Yuen, Sing & Co. re
ceived their supply Of winter delica-
cies. The principal consignment was
dried duck. This is as nice dish as a
Chinaman of moderate means can wish
for, as whole duck only costs so cents.
The ducks are dressed with the head
and feet left on and they are dried and
stretched and sailed until they look like
a kite made Of salt Goldfish. When
treated in this way they will last for
years. as nothing can spot them. Al
though they are we'll dried and shriv-
eled, there is considerable fat in them
and placed in hot water they will swell
up like scallops treated with saleratus.
TIE Chinese like them better than
fresh ducks raised in this country.
When they buy ducks alive here they
feed them for some time on Chinese
nuts and vegetables, so that they will
acquire the true flavor found in the
ducks that feed in the ponds near the
Canton river. 1t is said that the dried
ducks retain this flavor and that is
why they are preferred to the ducks
raised around here.
With the ducks came an invoice OF
Chinese sausages, which come in
strings like fire-crackers and are al
most as pretty. The skins are filed
with duck meat and pork. The dark
meats are pretty color as they shine
through the glossy skin, and as the sau-
sages are strung upon green cords the
product is handsome enough to hang
upon Christmas tree for decoration.
The Chinese dried fish that came
with the ducks and the sausages can be
likened to no fish in these waters. In
describing them last night the salesman
said that when alive they looked like a
bunch Of rope and they often jumped
out Of the water. Then there are dried
fish of minnOw size and Chinese tur-
nips, which are grown in South Amer
ica

Gold was discovered In California on
Jan. 19, 1848, and 1t was by accident,
as most things of that kind are. One
John w. Marshall was building a mill
for himself and Suffer on the south
fork Of the American river, fifty-four
miles east Of Suffers Fort. 1t was in
tended that the mill should supply the
ranches and the settlements with pine
lumber. On the morning Of Jan. IL
Marshall picked up from the race OF
the mill small piece of yellow metal
weighing about seventeen grains. 1t
was heavier than silver, was mallea-
Bile, and in every respect resembled
gold. The men said it was not gold,
but Marshall tested it with nitric acid
and found that it was. He found
pieces like it in all the surrounding
yulches wherever he dug for it. The
news Of the discovery spread, but no
report Of 1t was published until April,
when Suffers mill became the center
Of attraction. The name of the place
was soon changed to Coloma, or Col
luna, from a tribe Of Indians living in
the neighborhood, and prospectors who
gathered there soon scattered in every
direction. BY June the discovery had
extended to ali the forks of the Ameri-
can river. This was the beginning of
the rush to that region.-Chicago News.
