The Stab is the only New York newspaper possessing the fullest confidence of the Na¬ tional Administration and the United Dem¬ ocracy of New York, the political battle ground Jeffersonian of the Democracy, Republic. simple, pure and is good enough for tlie Star. Single hand¬ ed among the metropolitan press, it has stood by the men called by the great Democ¬ racy to redeem the government from twenty-five years of Republican wastefulness and corruption and despotism to the South. For these four years past ithasbeenunswerv ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬ er Cleveland. It is for him now—for Cleve¬ land and Thurman—for four years more of Democratic honesty in our national aflairs, and of continued national trnnqnility and prosperity. For Democracy people who like that sort of the Star is’ the paper to read. Tlie Stab stands squarely ou the National Democratic platform. It believes that any tribute exacted from the people in excess of the demands of a government economically administered is essentially oppressive and dishonest. The scheme fostered and chan* pioued by tlie Republican part-of making the government a miser, wringing millions an nually from the people and locking them up in vaults to serve no purpose bnt invite waste fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬ strous crime against the right of American citizenship. Republican political jugglers may call it ‘'protective taxation;” the Stab’s name for it is robbery. Through and through the Star is a great newspaper. Its tone is l ure and wholesome, its news service unexceptionable. Each issue presents an epitome of what is best worth knowing of the world’s history of yesterday. Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur- cque Edglish, and mighty interesting read ing they are. The Sunday Star is as good as the best class magazine, and prints about the saint amount of matter. Besides the day’s news it is rich in spesial descriptive articles, sto ries, snatches of current literature, reviews, art criticism, etc. Burdette’s inimatible hvu mor sparkles in its columns; Will Carleton’s delightful letters are of its choice offerings, Many of the best known men and women in literature and art are represented in its col umns, The Weekly Star is a large paper giving the cream of the news the w >rld over, with special features which make it the mos complete family newspaper published. The farmer, the mechanic, the business man too much occupied to read a daily paper, will get more for k his dollar invested in The Weekly Stab than from any other paper It will be especially alert during the cam paign, and will print the freshest and most reliable political news.

The names of tlie occupations which refined women in reduced circumstances are seeking nowadays are legion, ’fho field of type writing, stenography and telegraphy has long been crowded by women who have to earn their own liv¬ ing and the living of families, and who cannot do manual labor. Places as pri¬ vate secretaries, all sorts of clerkships In shops and business offices, “traveling agencies," editorships, employments by the score have been added to that which twenty-five years ago was almost the only occupation in which a refined woman thrown upon her own resources could engage—that of teaching children. There are women now who even write for the papers, and have attained fame as reporters, tramping about town at all hours and in all sorts of weather. A re- pooter was Introduced by a friend, the other day, to a lady who was earning a very comfortable livelihood as a hair groomer. ‘‘I’m not a hairdresser,” she said, “I'm a hair groomer. I don’t do up hair at alL I only comb the hair and give it that general attention which every woman’s hair demands two or three times a week. There are lots of women in the city who are in this business and who would scorn to call themselves pro¬ fessional hairdressers. ” She was an elderly lady, tall and slen¬ der, and dressed neatly and with excel¬ lent taste in black. Her manners were gentle and refined. Her face had that dark, quiet look seen on the faces of in¬ valids or of women who had a good deal of suffering. She was living in a re¬ spectable boarding house. “I was cornered and I had to do It,” she said. "I had to earn my living sud¬ denly, and the only way I could think of to do bo at my age was to care for women’s hair. My mother was for years an invalid. She had beautiful hair, and it used to soothe and quiet her to have me comb her hair and stroke it softly. In this way I learned to care for the hair, especially that of nervous women. There are a great many women, of course, of the so called upper classes who can’t afford to keep maids and yet who want their hair cared for regularly. They don’t like to have professional hair¬ dressers around them, either. It is to such women I look for my patronage. “What do I do to the hair? Well, first I rub it dry with a soft and then with a hard brush. I don’t put a lot of water and ‘cleaning stuff’ upon the hair at first as some do, but after I have the dandruff all out, I wet the hair with a simple solution which I know to be effec¬ tive and not deleterious; then I rub and brush the hair dry again. Next comes the trimming. I pull out the gray hairs one by one, taking care to pull them so that the scalp is not lacerated, and the hair cells themselves destroyed. There is a great art in pulling out hairs. You must pull them in the direction in which they lie in the scalp just as you would a sliver of wood from your hand, Men in the direction in which it entered. or women can’t pull out their gray hairs themselves, for it is utterly impossible for them to see that they are pulling the hairs out on the proper slant. Of course, you know that people are very touchy on the subject of gray hairs in their heads. It makes a woman have the blues for a week when her first gray hairs come. Now, when gray hairs are the result of age I never meddle with them; the only thing to do is to let them come. But they are often the result of sickness or some other little trouble, and it is then often possible to prevent their com¬ ing. Baldness is to be doctored in just the same way. I can never cure, though, and nobody can cure the baldness of peo¬ ple, like accountants and others, accus¬ tomed to work all day with the glare and heat of gaslights or electric lights their beating down upon their heads. In cases the hair cells have been literally burnt out. “Well, finally, I trim the hair. I cut each individual hair separately so When as to make it even with the others. the hair is gathered up in the hand and cut square across in a lump, as it were, with the scissors, the straggling hairs are not reached. The result is only to make the hair shorter and quite hair as simply uneven and as before. Then I part the do it up plainly. their hair As done I told you, in if women want up any of the fancy styles they mustn’t come to me. “How much does it pay me? Well, I generally think I ought to get (1, at least, each time I visit a lady’s house. a lady lives a great way up town and takes me all the afternoon or morning go up and seo her, I want more money, of course.

Boston Budget, GEORGIA'S CLIMATE. This State Declared to be the World's Sanatarium. Paris, France, wag recently the scene of a convention, which, thongh its progress was comparatively un¬ noticed, was of the deepest interest to thousands of unfortunates afflict ed with that dread disease—conaump tion. It was the first international tuber culosis congress and nearly 500 physicians from all parts of the world were in attendance The sole subject under discussion was tuber culosis and many new and valuable ideas were expressed as to its cause aud removal. Although one and all confessed that so far as pure medi cine is concerned no effective remedy; has been discovered that were equally strenous in the belief that pure air and proper nutrition were, at pre sent, the only agents capable of stay ing the devastation of the disease. Dr. R. C. M. Page, professor in the New York Polyclinic, and one the vice presidents of the congress, said in an interview: “A specific against tuberculosis is still to be found. At present we are oblidged to base our treatment upon climate, food and medicine: The latter is still powerless to do more than afford a temporary relief, As regards food, the great concern is that it be nourishing, easy assimi¬ lated and that milk, the sheet anchor of consumptive diet, be free from the germs of tuberculosis. There re mains the olimatio chief hope. If change of air will not cure the consumptive, the can do little. If the patient heart complications with’ lung bles, by no means send him ligh altitudes, or he will die. Do not send him either to Flori da, where damp fogs are pretty tain to do serious harm. Choose rather among low, dry altitudes, in sine wood region, where the air charged derivatives of turpentine. ‘•I refer to places, of which are plenty in Georgia from nah to the southwest corner of State. Thomasvillo and other are extremely beneficial in their sults.” Other American physicians cided with Dr. Pages opinion as Georgia, and all considered it a sanitarium for lung diseases. The many remarkable cures Hood’s parillo accomplishes are snflioient that it doe* possess peonliar curative pow ers. (4) THE REASON OF IT. Why Trains Leave In the Morning Evening is Explained. It is a fact that in all tie large the through railroads trains start early in the morning or in the ing. This is nearly altogether case in Griffin. A railroad gave the following explanation terday: That is because business as a rule prefer to travel at while, on the contrary those in of pleasure, and ladies who are ing alone and for considerable ces had rather make their in the morning. And the mail something !o do with it. The trains take ‘he day mail, though great deal more of mail is at the postoffice after the of tne night trains, and this is by the morning trains.

Rome Tribune. There is not a heart in Home that, does not go out in sympathy to the people sitting under the shadow of a great dread in Florida. If there is a brave and plucky city in the south, it is that fair peninsular metropolis now heavily afflicted. The history of Jacksonville has been a bis tory of struggle against adversb con ditions, of vigorous enterprise, and determined effort. Its citizens have long since buried all private factions in the broad spirit of a common pur pose for the general good, and even against difficulties the city has pros pered and grown, until it is one of the most beautiful and attractive in the south. Its people are brave, gen erous, cordi >! and hospitable to a de gree. But the outlook is sorrowful, be yond statement, for Jacksonville now. All through the winter»months the germs of this yellow scourge have smouldered in the state with sporad ic cases breaking out here and there, even in January, to prove tbo readi ness of the atmosphere for tho epi demic. Every effort at sanitation has been faithfully expended, and it it is doubtful if there is a cleaner city in the world today. But at last the fevor, under climatic invita tion. has triumphed over all precau tions and secured a firm foothold in the very heart of the city. It is only tho beginningof August, aud the fever has fivo months to run! Think what a terribie siege this may be to the lives, property and prospects of this heroic poople. With commerce practically suspen ded, trade dead; with streets desert ed and dull; with dread in every household and apprehensions the gloomy companion of every hour; with loved ones in constant danger, and the dead cart moving in horrible regularity through the mournful streets, while long weary days and nights of watching and uncertainty haunt every household, and shadow • every home. It is a picture of suffering sorrow ful enough to evoke the sympathies of every Christian heart in Rome, and ou this beautiful Sabbalh day, as our people gather in the several churches to thank God for all the mercies which come with Bis bene diction upon this beautiful and fav ored city, let them not forget their prayers for the people in the shad ow—aye, and in the very valley of death. And don’t depend on the pulpit !?>r all the expression. Bye and bye the people of Florida’s metropolis may ueed something else. At pres ent they ueed only sympathy and prayers. May God bless Jacksonville, and lift speedily the gloom that has set tied upon her people. The Tax You Will Fay.
