WoMEN's DRESS.

The poets idea that love, which is
of mans life u thing apart, is wo-
mans whole existence, is more SEN
timental than true, There is only
one thing which, ifit may no. truly
be said to be her whole existence, is
yet never very far flom her atten.
tion, and that is dress. This is neith-
er a hard nor aGynical saying. From
her first conscious hour to her last, a
woman takes interest in her garments
.andthe garments Of her iriends.-
The study ofdress is like every other
study. 1t must be taken seriously il
it is to be taken successfully. A wo-
man who wants to be originally,be beau
tifully and becomingly dressed must
eitherg give herself into the hands of
an artist who will do her thinking
for her, or she must give nearly the
whole of her own time and attention
to the business, A great many do
neither the one nor the other, hence
the rarity of really well.dressed wo-
men. The ideal Of most English wo.
men is to find a modiste, who will
take all trouble off their hands, and
will dress them. This can be easily
enough done; but is an expensive
process, and in that direction again
English woman set themselves linz
it. The price an American fashion
able woman will readily give for a
confection of distinguished taste
would strike horror into the breast of
an English matron. American wo.
men are unquestionably the best
dressed nowadays. Why it should
be SO isa question too profound to
enter on here. Much and subtle an
alysis would have to be expended on
that problem. Que explanation
which seems ole on the surface may
be that while deciding with author
ity on questions of taste, and fully
competent to judge them, they bring
to the business a certain originality
of conception and national freshness
Of idea which pervades the result,
making it not only charming in it
self, but exactly suitable to the wear.
er. American women-those at least
who visit Europe-have generally
the pull over English women in mon
ey matters, and, as we said before,
they not only have the money to
spend, but like spending it on dress.
But, besides that, there is a discern
ment of the fitting, happiness of
choice, which they bring to rather
than find in the studies of high art
in dress.-London Times.

gone, after watching Mr.. Fitagerald's
dismay at finding her, as be supposed
flown, She returned to discover a
thoroughly repentant husband, and
the change was radical and perma-
nent. He who had tyrannized over
women so long, now yields Gracefully
to Nelly's sway, and crowns her
queen Of his home and of his heart.

Not That Kind ofa Doctor Shop.

Old Bill McGammon, who keeps q
grocery store in the suburbs Of Aus
tin is one Of the closest men in the
State of Texas, and abbrevialcs his
words in writing. He abbreviates
the names on the drawers and boxes
of the contents, in his grocery, in
stead of painting the names i'll full,
For instance, he painted on the su-
gar rrel'"Br Sugar." for brown SUI
gar, and SO ION.
Last Tuesday, q feeble.looking
stranger dropped into Bill Mccain
mons store and after looking around.
asked:
as Doctor Prunes in?"
Old McGammon stared, and said
he reckoned not.
"Is Doctor Goldfish in, then?' asked
the stranger.
mo, he is not, said Old McGam-
mon emphatically.
"Then tell Doctor Cherries | would
like to see him, if he is at leisure"
"You get out of here. / believe
you have escaped from the Lnnatic
Asylum. This amt no Medicine
College; this is grocery" retorted
Old McGammon getting red in the
face.
"If this is grocery, then yon had
better carry back them doctors signs
to where you stole them FROM" re.
sponded the stranger strolling out.
Old McGammon looked where the
stranger had pointed, and for tho
first time noticed the result of his
abbreviating the word Dried" into
DR." for on the drawers he read, in
large letters: DR.. Pruhes, DIR. Peaches,
DR.. Goldfish, DR.. Cherries, DR.. Peas,
DR.. Apples, DR.. Beef.-Te1as Sytings.

Morris tribune., 1882-08-10

The political interest in the 5th dis.
trict is just now conferred in the action
Of the democrats, who will shortly
hold convention in Fergus Falls to
put in nomination democratic can
didate against the two headed repub.
lican ticket. The names of r. G..
Moore, of Morris, r. L. Frazee, of OF
ter Tail county, E. P. Barnum, of
Sank Centre, and Senator Mcdonald,
of St. Cloud. are mentioned in con-
nection with the nomination. Az the
democrats have full one third of the
votes in the district, the nomination
cannot be considered in the light of a
mere empty honor. This section OF
the district will undoubtedly support
Mr.. Moore, of Morris, who is well
spoken of as a business man and a
citizen. Senator Mcdonald will be
likely to receive the support of the
banner democratic. county of Stearns
and those adjacent to it, and should
the row in the republican camp give
the prize to the hereditary enemy, no
one would bear the honors more wor.
thily than Mr.. Med It is well
to add, however. that he will meet
with the incorporating opposition
of A. De Lacy Wood.-Big Stone

Origin Of Names In the Week.

In the museum at Berlin, in the hall
devoted to Northern antiquities, they
have the representations of the idols
from which the names of the days of the
week are derived. From the idol of the
Sun comes Sunday. This idol is repre-.
scented with his face like the sun, hold
ing burning wheel, with both hands
on his breast, signifying his course
round the world. The idol of the Moon,
from which comes Monday, is habited
in short coat, like a man, but holding
the moon in his hands. Tuisco, from
which comes Tuesday, was one Of the
most ancient and popular gods of the
Germans, and represented in his gar
ments of skin, according to their pecul-
lar manner of clothing the third day Of
the week was dedicated to his Worship.
Wooden, from which comes Wednesday,
was valiant Prince among the Saxons.
His image was prayed to for victory.
Thor, from whence comes Thursday, Is
seated in o bed, with twelve stars over
his head, holding a scepter in his hand.
Friga, from whence we have Friday, is
represented with drawn sword in his
right hand, and bow in his left. Scatter
from which is Saturday, has the appear
ance of perfect wretcheiness. He is
thin-visaged, long-haired, with long
beard. He carries pail of water in his
right hand, wherein are fruits and
flowers.
