WOman's Dress.

"Many plain, quiet little woman,
says the New York Herald, sis utterly
tired of the ceaseless labor of trying to
make rs effective an appearance as her
richer, handsomer acquaintance. But
what would her husband sayp He
would say, if sensible man, that she
was "a sensible woman to dress according
to her means. If not sensible woman,
it is of no consequence what he would
say. There is an everlasting drift of
nonsense about the dress Of women, such
as the Herald encourages by its silly
and simpering remarks on the subject of
women's dress.
1t is possible for a woman of good
taste to make herself not only present
able, but attractive in calico at five cents
yard. 1t is the art of knowing how to
dress, rather than the costliness of the
material used in dressing, that tells.
There is vulgar notion abroad that a
woman is not dressed unless she is
loaded down with the costliest of fabrics
and jewels to correspond, yet we have
seen women in the plainest of dresses so
admirably corresponding to their COM
plexion and figure that they outshine
the more elaborately dressed women in q
society gathering. What is needed is
good taste In the selection and make up
of material, and even then we are in
clined to adopt DIR. Johnson's idea that
the woman whose conversation is so
charming as to make one forget how she
is dressed is the best dressed woman in
any assembly where display of fine
clothes is thought to be the chief point
of interest. t.-Cineinnat Commercial.

A RECENT article in one of our ex-
changes is entitled "The Oyster War. +"
Few would believe that the oyster, under
any circumstances, would be combative,
and yet such seems to be the case. The
oyster, as he lies on our plate, looks
calm and unimpassioned. He seems
cool, collected, and reserved, and yet
when the tocsln of war is sounded, he
rubs little cayenne pepper on his back
and nerves himself for the combat. In
times of peace he is taciturn and un-
demonstrative, but when wars and rude
alarms disturb the air, he crawls out of
the can and makes Rome howl. Lara

The Iowa BUTTER AND CHEESE AS
soCIATIoN held their Sixth Annual Cor
vention in this city recently, and the at
tendance was very large indeed, and
great interest manifested. We have at
tended the last two National and
State conventions and noticed this
fact. that the dairymen of Iowa
are very rapidly adopting the Fairlamb
system of gathering cream. Mr.. Fair
lamb, of Davis & Fairlamb, manu-
facturers of dairy supplies at 10
Lake street, Chicago, is the original
inventor of this system. This is
absolutely true, that the great dairy
interest is solely indebted 10 Mr.. Fair
lamb for the system which has already
been worth millions of dollars to Iowa
farmers, and which is now revolutioniz-
ing the business in the entire North
west, and greatly to the further
ance of the best interests of
the agricultural and dairy people. There
has been determined effort made to
have the cream-gathering system
called by some other name than
the Fairlamb system, but without
avail, for it is too great an in
vention AMI of too much value to the
people to merit anything but the loudest
praise. The Fairlamb system will be
about the only system in use within
two years if not sooner, Judging at the
rate that the dairymen are adopting it.
We would suggest that all who are
interested in this business write Messrs.
Davis & Fairlamb, 170Lake street, Chica-
go, for circulars giving full information.
We visited them while in Chi
cago lately, and were surprised
ut the magnitude and extent of
theft business. They have q very ex-
tensive manufactory, ana are ardpushed
to meet the great and increasing de-
mand for goods throughout the country.

baccO and beer on the free list. From
the report of Commissioner Raum, it
appears the tax on tobacco the last fis-
cal year amounted to $47,000,000, and
on fermented liquors $16,OOO,OOO
These two items taken together amount
TO nearly as much as the tax on whis-
key. Inasmuch as tobacco is not an
article of necessity, but rather of lux
ury, it seems impolitic to altogether
abolish the tax on it. The revenue
derived from the tobacco tax might be
applied to beneficial purposes by the
government. The last United States
census reveals the fact of over five mil
lions of inhabitants over ten years of
age who are unable to read and write.
This immense mass of ignorance is an
incubus on our free institutions; the
&47,000,000 collected on tobacco would
DO much to meet this great educational
necessity. The Commissioner of In

USE OF TOBACCO BY BOYS.

The use of tobacco by growing bows
is so generally recognized as pernicious
that it is extraordinary that more en-
ergetic measures are not urged upon
those having the care of youth to pre-.
vent the habit. Already it has been
prohibited in the United States Naval
Academy at Annapolis; in the United
States Military Academy at West
Point; in the Phillips Exeter Academy.
New Hampshire, and in various other
enlightened educational institutions.
This testimony is adduced from the
class records of schools and colleges
which indicates very positively that
the effect of tobacco on the mental
faculties is deteriorating. The best
scholars are not tobacco users: non
smokers take the highest rank in every
grade, and whether we look at the ex-
ceptionally brilliant students, or COM
pare the average of those who use and
those who refrain from tobacco. the
result shows the same. Medical and

THE PROHIBITION PARTY
HEARD FROM IN THIS DIS
TRTCT,

We have been waiting month since
the election to learn what the prohibit
tiOnists intend to do, after resting from
their herculean labors in defeating a
temperance Republican for Congress,
and electing a Bourbon for that post.
The public have been looking for some
new plan of operation from that party,
since their first political battle result
ed in the defeat of the principle they
sought to establish, and they have
nothing to show for all their pains
taking except the placing in position a
member of Congress of questionable
antecedents. The Whitewater ChTon-
icze tells of recent meeting Of prohi-
bitionists in that town, at which work
was laid out for future action. The
plan proposed is nothing new; it is
simply a return to the old-time labor
of a quarter century and more ago.
Their platform declares they will sup
port none but staunch temperance men
of good character for Office. The peo-
pie would have less cause for distrust
OF their future actions if they would
explain why they sought to defeat just
such a man as they now hold up as
their ideal for Office. If we mistake
not, the temperance sentiment in this
county is that the prohibition party in
the late election should manfully make
confession that it committed a blunder.
That would unite all true friends of
the cause for onward movement.
But so long as the prohibition party
attempts to justify it's action, as it did
in the Whitewater meeting, harmony
among the friends of temperance can
hardly be expected. While public SEN
timent comedies the prohibition party
acted conscientiously, the general vir-
dict is, it behaved unwisely.

KENOSHA LTFE-SATING STA

The Government Life-Saying Sta
ton in this city, located on the Island,
near the Lighthouse, is an institution
of much Importance in affording re-
lief to vessels disabled by storms on the
lake. Mr.. w. Mygatt has furnished
us with the following description of the
station:
The Life-Saying service closed for
the present season on the last day of
November. From the commencement
of service, at the opening of nayiga-
ton, to the present date, the life boat
has gone out upon eight different oc-
casions upon it's missions of mercy
and has performed important service
to vessels water-logged or otherwise
disabled. The life-saving crew has al
so, in several instances, rescued chill
dren that have fallen into the lake or
who have been thrown into the water
by the overturn of small boats which
they were undertaking to navigate.
The life-saving building. which is one
of the most complete structures on
this lake, looks as tidy as the day upon
which it was first occupied. The crew
consists of eight men, to which num-
Der may be added Capt. Cameron, the
efficient master.
The building erected for the service
contains the life boat proper, surf boat,
life car, mortar, lines and life-preserv-
ers. In the upper part of the building
one finds writing desk and clock in
the masters room, and in another room
the beds occupied by the crew during
the period of actual service. Two
other apartments in the upper part of
the building are designed for hospital
or restorative purposes. A medicine
chest, flag, the "laboring oar" a ba-
rometer, appliances for lights of dis
tinct colors, are other and important
incidentals to the service. The life
car resembles huge iron barrel, ex-
cept that the heads at each end are
pointed, and in this machine, with its
opening closed, human beings are
drawn from the sinking vessel to the
shore. If the inmates of the life car
are packed within as a fisherman
packs mackerel in a kit it will contain
altogether or 5 passengers. The iron
door of the life car closes with such
eXactness as to exclude water, and, as.
a consequence, the "air we breathe"
but the journey to the shore is brief,
and anon the master removes the
fastenings and admits air to the pant
ing inmates within.
