Thk Republican State Ceutral Commit $ee bas presented its memorial to Gov. ^latlhews, askiug that he call the legislature in special session to pas-s a uew apportionment law. Hie piesentation of /aots ciearly shows that the only equitable and fair course io pursue is for the Governor to call the legislature Together. #o that a new law might be passed The luty of the Governor is plain. He knows tvhrtt that is,but whether he is big enough and firoad enough to do it is another Ques ion. He cannot, however, for the 8aUe of what he thinks is partisan advantage, afford to do tunt which is not fair fight, aud just for the Governor of a grea State 1 ke Indiana. The law of 1SS5 id liitiiiifeirtly unjust, uui aud unconstitutional. These is no question ebout that. No ^ppoitionment act can found, run back as far as you may, .•fchat at the present time would not be unfair
Mid
nnjust. If Gov. Matthews per
sists in liis peanut partisanship, he will lose not only the respect of Republicans, but tlso of all Democrats v* ho believe in light &nd fair piny. L11 Gov Matthew?, If »ie has pi evidential aspirations, show that he has a presidential breadth of Xiiind that can rise above ward political partisanship.

VTashtnotox, Feb. 14.—After a 10clays' debate the house yesterday, by a V'to of 80 to 100, in committee of the whole, rejected the sen te free coinage f'.::endnient to the bond bill, and reported the bill to the house with a recomnAeiidaiiou to nonconcur and insist on •Abo house bill.

The negative tote which defeated the motion was Civen by Democrats, Populists and four iiepublican senators, viz: Teller, Man•£le, Dubois and Carter.

DRESS AND FASHION.
PARISIAN COIFFURES AND GOWNS THAT FORESHADOW THE STYLES.
The Tendency Is Toward More Elaborate Coiffures—Popularity of the Undulating Wave—New Features
Suggested jn
cent Importations.
de
Dressing the hair is no longer a simple matter to women without maids, but ambitious to keep in touch with the latest fashions. The tendency is toward more elaborate coiffures, and revivals of old and intricate styles are appearing. Conspicuous among the revivals is the pompadour, which has naturally followed in the wake of ruffs, big collars and ficbus. Fortunately the modern pompadour is of becoming proportions. A prominent feature of bail-dressing is the undulating wave all around the head. This wave is becoming, but difficult for the amateur to accomplish. The knot, which is an essential part of a fashion-
FASHIONABLE HAIIIDEESSING.
able English coiffuro, is also difficult to accomplish, standing out a long distance from the head itself in an aggressively pointed manner. There is a marked distinction between fashionable hairdressing in England and in France, and, as the latter has by far the more graceful mode, and, also, the one usually adopted by American women, a few Paris coiffures are here described:
A simple but prevalent style bides the ears entirely. The front pair is cut short and frizzed, while the remainder is divided down the center parting. Part of it is divided off and drawn high up at the back into a loose coil, while all the rest is allowed to fall loosely over the ears and is invisibly fastened at the back, a couple of soft curls escaping from below. On quite another line is a style in modification of the pompadour. It forms a double roll, turning off th6 face, with one little curl on the left of the forehead. All the rest of the hair is waved ^n long, loose undulations, which are clustered together in a soft, careless fashion at the back. In French hairdressing there is nothing stiff. All is perfectly easy and graceful.
Another novelty in hairdressing is called the Parisian knot. It is not a chignon, though it replaces one, inasmuch as it can be worn in combination with a lady's own hair, however small the quantity may be, not being made upon a foundation, but being formed simply of hair. An aperture iu the loop, which is somewhat of a figure 8 shape, admits of the smallest knot of the natural hair being passed through it, and the Parisian knot, which surrounds it, is secured by pretty tortoise shell pins. The knot of natural hair should be kept well in the center of the head, so that when the Parisian knot is placed round it the effect is graceful. Among recent importations in gowns of French design which foreshadow coming styles is a dress of white satin, with chiffon covered bodice id sleeves covered by a billowy mass of white chiffon flouncings edged by quillings of black chiffon. The bodice is draped also in the white and flanked by braces of black velvet. Quite as an inspiration is the hat which caps this confection, a study in ^~"k and white, with a middle note of g: *y and a big bush ci osprey. A ruche of tulle quillings in the triple contrast surrounds the crown, and a broad band of white satin, evidently wired, stands upright around the edge of the brim, while a bunch of brightly colored roses nestles under one side of it.
Another suggestive gown is of white chine silk with far apart black stripes aud blurred bunches of pink and blue flowers, the bodice and skirt both of the chine, and the aggressive elbow frills of white lace over black chiffon. The undersleeves are also of black chiffon, accordion plaited, and the collar of lace over black again. The big neck bow is violet velvet and the toque seems constructed entirely in greenish blue iridescent wings, violets and white tuberoses. These models may, of course, be copied in other materials and colors.
Ribbons play a conspicuous part in tress decoration. Soutache braid is an-

other trimming in favor. The plain bodice is given an effective finish with a fanciful collar of lace or chiffon. Pretty dress garnitures of beads and embroidery are made in the form of yokes, collars and bretelles, and are easily adjusted over different waists. Another little fancy is a standing collar ont in square tabs on the edge, or plainly rolled with straight edge, which in either oaae la xv:r:::i to keep it in place.
AUOB VABITOM.
The Shining Face of Moses.
All down through the ages a mistake has been perpetuated as to the meaning of tho Hebrew word "karan," "to emit rays like horns." It is the word used in Exodus xxxiv, 29, to describe the shining face of Moses after he had talked with the Lord. The Soptuagint translated it into Greek, "bis head was horned." So all through the middle ages and tho period of great Italian art the Vulgate had it (whence Michael Angelo and other artists got the idea, Angelo giving to Moses two flamelike locks of hair on the head) the Cranmor Bible and the Douay Catholio English Bible continued the queer error. King James'version at last got it right, "the skin of Moses' faoe shone, and Moses put the veil tipon his faoe, "etc.—Boston Transcript.

Thm Story of a Strange Expartonc* Had by .•Detective.
"The strangest experience I ever bad," said a well known detective to the Cincinnati Tribune, "was in locating a sneak thief who systematically robbed a business man's residence. There had been .a number of robberies extending over a considerable space of time. The servants of the house had been changed several times, and yet the thefts continued. About once a week some one entered the man's sleeping apartment and took what money he had, if any, and, if not, succeeded in obtaining some of his wife's jewels or valuable silverware. I was employed in the oase and made a thorough examination of the premises. At first I thought the work was done by some one inside the house, but
searched the pawnshops thoroughly and could find no trace of tho infusing jewels or silverware, and alter watching the house from the outside for several nights, during which time there was another robbery,
A
my
client
told me that he bad surprised the man one night, and that ho went out the window and down the porch, which was undoubtedly the way he came in. He described the man at being small, thin and palo and wearing a peculiar mask. The description did not suit any one in the house or any one whom the business man knew. "My client slept in the front room and his wife in one adjoining, there being double doors between them.
I
I
prepared to sleep in my client's room, to which ho readily consented. The first night I slept thcro my client's belongings were undisturb-. ed,
but several dollars in loose change had been abstracted from my own pockets, though usually

said noth
ing about my own loss, but concluded
to remain awake thereafter. "For several nights nothing occurred, when one morning about 2 o'clock a form came through the folding doors that connected the room where I was with that occupied by the wife of my client. I pretended to be asleep and waited the thief's approach. It looked like a pale faced boy. Over its head was thrown a dark shawl that gave the appearance of a mask and a coat, but the form was barefooted and had on nothing besides the shawl but a nightgown. Noiselessly it glided to the window, unlocked it and passed out on the porch. I knew in a moment that the person was the wife of my client, and I followed at once. As she climbed down the porch the monn shone directly in her face, and I saw that she was asleep. The woman went directly to an arbor that had once been a springhouse, and lifting a loose board dropped something and returned the way she came to her own apartment. "I immediately investigated and found that in the place formerly used for the storage of milk and butter the missing jewels, silver and money were piled. The next morning I told my client and showed him where the missing articles were. He stated that his wife was possessed of an almost insane fear that at some time he would fail and be reduced to want, although entirely rational upon all other subjects. This probably took possession of her mind while she slept, and being of a somnambulistic tendency her hoarding of the valuables was explained. When awake she had no recollection whatever of her nightly depredations."
Creed Suggested In Musle For Pnyfla De*Irons of Success.
I believe that the composer knew what he wanted in the way of tones. Therefore I will play exactly what he wrote, go nearly as I can. I believe that the bar is intended to show the place of the strong pulse. Therefore I try to place the accent upon the tone written next after the bar. I believe good rhythm is at the very foundation of music. Therefore I will endeavor to keep an even time, without hurrying or slackening. And if any differences in movement are to be made between the easy and difficult parts of a composition I believe that, as a rule, the more difficult parts should go more rapidly than the others, inasmuch as they indicate greater intensity, and perhaps bravura.
I believe that music is essentially a message from the composer, or a picture painted in tones. I will try to play it as if I knew what the message was, or as if I had the picture in mind—in other words, will play it with expression.
I believe that the pedal may be used at any place in a composition where the effect is improved by so using it. These places will be where there is a tone of melody to be held after the fingers are taken off it (in order to do something else), or where it is desired to "ir,prove the resonance of the inanoforce. When I haven't any reason for using the pedal, I will leave it alone, for few things are more objectionable than the absentminderl lingering upon the pedal which we often hear from badly taught students.
Inasmuch as music is a message, or a picture, from the imaginary world the ideal, it follows that there must be great differences in the quality of pieces of music, according to the mind in composers, and according to the especial mood of a composer at the moment or writing some choicest work. And it shall be my endeavor to know as many as possible of these pieccs of music best worth knowing, and when I know them, to play them with all possible appreciation and in such a way as to induce my hearers to love them and enjoy them.
A Simple School Dress.
A useful school dress may be made of serge, with silk yoke and undersleeves. The yoke -extends to the back and is lined, but the skirt, being made of a heavy make of serge, will not need it. The fullness of the skirt is set into the yoke. The back, where the dress fastens, is a repetition of the front, a band of fanoy braid or galloon giving a pretty

finish to the neck and yoke also to cuffs and shoulder frills. These latter should, when made and trimmed, be tacked to the upper part of the sleeves, which are of the old fashioned coat shape, but rather larger at the top, and both must be inserted in the armliole together. For a girl of 10,
The development of babies is often hindered by want of self control in those about them, for courage or cowardice may be taught by example. If a mother shows nervousness when her ichild begins to walk alone, it speedily becomes timid, and perhaps gives up the attempt for some time. If baby is excessively sympathized with and pitied when it meets with a trifling bump, it will cry and fret, but when the hurt is really trifling it should be exhorted not to mind and not to cry and very soon learns the lesson.
Odd Mention.
The waitress should not remove the dishes between courses until all the guests shall have finished eating.
In washing grained woodwork nse clear water or weak cold tea. When waiting upon the table, the waitress should hand the plates on the left side and remove them on the right.
Clear, black coffee dilated with water and containing a little ammonia will clean and restore black olothes.
Boiled salmon is usually served with a rich egg sauce. An English authority claims that soup is richer if made in an uncovered Btewpan.

Teach Children Self Itelianoe.
A baby should be early taught self reliance and how to shun danger. When it begins to crawl, it quite understands a firm "No, no," and will generally mind it. A child kept always in arms and never laid down to stretch itself will be very slow to stand or walk. Very often children 3 and 4 years old cannot be trusted near a flight of stairs, while younger ones can go up and down safely because they ha^e been shown how. If taught to turn round when they approach the stairs and slide themselves down from step to step, or how to clamber up on hands and knees, there will be hardly any accidents.
