The rumor that erinOliue is about To-
be discarded is untrue. The manu-
facturers are kept busy at work in fill
ing the large orders of the dealers,
thus proving that they at least are
convinced that the reign Of crinOline
will be a long one as. for the health
and comfort Of women we hope may.
A return to the old fashion of wearing
several heavy skirts instead of light,
flexible, supporting hoop, would be a.
most intOlerable.
The new open fronts, or "wiBged'
skirts are the novelty of the season.
They give complete freedom for every
motion, walking, sitting, dancing, or
stepping in and out of a carriage. The
upper part of the skirt is laced togeth-
er, then come a few hoops, and below
there is the open winged front. It
is impossible for the feet to become en-
tangled in this skirt, as the limbs are
free from hoops in front from the knee
down. A spiral spring has been in
vented to hold the steels securely
around the curved opening. This
Open. front may be applied to any
hoop. The tournure is graceful. The

Never say you will do presently
what your reason or conscience tells
you should be done now. No man

the time arrives for the buds to. open,
they open-for the leaves to fall. they
fall. Look upward. The shining
worlds never put of their risings or
their settings. The comets, erratic as
they are, keep their appointments /;

There are no delays in any Of the move

so, too frequently to his own destrue-

Encourage Home Industry. /
We notice a good deal Of complaint
In our country exchanges about BUSH
ness men sending their work off to
the cities, when they want printing
done. We have no reason to COM
plain in this respect. Our business
men find that it pays THEM better
than it does US, to patronize home en-.
terprise. We help those who help US,
both private individuals and firms, as
well as county oficers.-[J Jackson
Standard.
We, commend the above to q few of
Of the business men Of Hillsboro, who
imagine that they can save money by
sending their printing to Cincinnati.
1t is true they may sometimes (nOt
always get it done a little cheaper,
but then, on the other hand, they lose
the good will and influence Of their
home press, which cannot be expected
to say a good word for those who re-
fuse to patronize it.. So, in the long
run, people who send their money
away from home, to the injury of home
mechanics and merchants, lose more
than they gain by Incorporation. The
true system is, to patrOnize HOME in
dustry-build up your Os0n town, and
thereby you build up your own inter-
ests most efectuaIIy.

Hans Andersen.

The announcement that Hans Chris
tian Andersen was to contribute new
stories to the fFRiverside Magazine for
Young People," doubtless took some
by surprise, since he existed in their
minds almost as an ancient, as little
likely to turn up in the guise Of a reg
ular contributor as Esop himself
Andersen's stories have indeed been
tho nursery tales of two generations,
yet the great story-teller is living still
and continues to weave his delightful
tissues. 9 He is not so very old, for he
was born in 1905, in Odense,. Den
mark, and last year a great festival
was held there on occasion of Ander-
sen being made citizen of honor,-a
popular demonstration toward one
who has achieved wider literary
fame than any other native of Den
mark. Andersen never married. and
lives a rambling sort of life, sometimes
In Copenhagen, but quite as often
travelling in Spain, Switzerland, France
and Holland. He is a great favorite
at various courts, but his true distinc-
tiOn consists in the fact that every home
is open to him, and the poor as well
as the rich know his kindly nature.
He, himself, in the "True Story of my
Life," relates a bright little scene. He
was away from home, at Hamburg,
we believe, and, in company with
Otto Speckter, the clever artist who
has illustrated his stories, was setting
out for the opera house - .lf lgrai.
''On our way" he says, 1--WE came
to an elegant house. I'VE must 60 in
here, dear friend, said Speckter; "a
wealthy family lives here, friends Of
mine, and friends of your stories; the
children viii be happy
"'But the opera, said I.
"'Only for two minutes, returned
he and drew me into the house, men
TONED my name, and the circle of
children collected around me. i"f
WNOw tell US tale, said he 'only
one,'
81 told one, and then hastened away
to the theatre.
"'That was an extraordinary visit
said 1.
"tAn excellent one; one entirely
out of the common way p said he ex-
ultingly. Only think; the children
are full of Andersen and his stories.
He suddenly makes his appearance
amongst them; tells one of them him.

is of itself like fairy tale to the chill

remembrance

There is some thing very pleasant
in the knowledge that heneefOrth An
dersen will make monthly visits to
American families through "The Rtv-
erside," even before his own country
men hear his stories. 1t is a tribute
to the worldwide fame he has acquir-

on a portion of the popular music Of

describes:

The Chinese bid fair to be the objects
of Democratic vengeance now the ne
gro is playing out. A recent convention
of the Nebraska Democracy passed
the following resolution
eThat we are opposed to comforting
the right of suffrage upon Asiatics as
well as negroes, and we believe that the
treaty recently cOnsummated by the
Republican party between the United
States and the Empire Of China, cal
culated as it is, to bring to our shores
hordes of fhalf-civilized MOngOlians, is
an insult alike to this nation and its
white laboring population.
Such is modern Democracy. 1t

it can quote folios of platitudes about
the rights Of man, and prate long and
loud about equal and exact Justice

A. gentleman of Now Haven order
ed a wedding suit, among which was
a white satin vest. On the bridal
evening, as the clergyman was leav-
ing the door, the gentleman took from
a pocket of his vest, and slipped
gracefully into the parsons hand what
he supposed to be a $40 bill that he
had put there for that purpose. Pho
honeymoon had long passed, when
the bridegroom had occasion to don
again, for a party, his bridal vest
and putting his fingers into a pocket
pulled out, to his great horror, the

What could be have given the par
son on that occasion? He ascertain
ed, the next day, that he had given
him a strip of satin two or three inch-
es long, which the tailor had left in
the pocket of the vest. Explanations
and hearty laugh followed.

Honor To LINCOLN.

Stanton said: 81 have been told by
those who visited their friends in
Europe shortly after the close Of the
war, that in every household, in every
place, by every fireside, there hangs
the portrait, more or less rude, of
Abraham Lincoln"
Mr.. Lincoln's portrait is found in
Asia as we'll as in Europe, and in parts
of Africa where Americans are sell
dom seen. Mr.. Thomas w. Knox, in
his journey through Siberia two years
frequently saw portraits Of our mar
tyred President hanging on the walls
of the wayside stations and in the
hands of the wealthy citizens. AT
Ekaterineburg, in the Ural mountains
he was shown the bust of Mr.. Lincoln
that was being made to the order of a
wealthy Russian. The bust was five
or six inches high, and. cut in topaz
from model procured from America
for the purpose.
