What Causes Hard Times.

Too many spend money and too
few earn it.
Too much money is spent wastes
fully and ~uselessly, and too little
saved and made productive and &C
cumulated.
We buy too much abroad that we
ought to produce at home.
We buy too much that we don't
pay for cash down--too much OF
what we buy being not what we &C
tually need.
We are too wasteful, know too
little how to economize, and have too
little disposition to do so.
We are too speculative, unscrupu-
lous. and actually dishonest in our
efforts to make money.
Too many prefer idleness to ln>
dustry, and too few of us know how
to work and derive profit and pleas
ure from our labor
We spend too much time learn
ing what is not usefnl, and too little
informing ourselves upon the best
method of promoting our material
prosperity.
We know too much of politics,
spend too much time and money as
politicians. and l1ow too little
about political economy and the scl>
ence of a stable and economical pubs
lie policy.
Our actions are governed too
much by passion, prejudice and
partisan feeling, and not enough by
a broad, intelligent, liberal and pa
triotic conception of the duties
which American citizenship involves.
We are too superficial and impa-
tient, and lack the clear purpose and
persistent, patient application nee
essary to permanent success.
We depend too much upon our
sharpness" and '.cuteness," and
readiness to take advantage OF cir
cumstances, and not enough upon
| earnest, honest labor.

When the flesh is well loosenei,

away with q tiny pair OF curved
scissors, made expressly for the
purpose. The nails are then trims

French ones are considered the
latest, but people of the best taste
find that an ovaleshaped nail, a
little longer and about the shape
of the finger, gives a better taper
to the fingers than the pointed
ones. However, that is a matter
! of individual taste; but no matter
what the shape, they must be left
to grow quite long.
After fling, a chamois p%ollsher
and powder are used until they
shine beautifully; then comes a
thorough washing and brushing IN
tepid water, and again they are
polished with the attendants bare

about an hour, and is rather en-
joyable. Many people pay a sta

manicure twice a week, but this Is
not at all necessary; after they

two minutes rubbing will give them

thing to see a group o fladies Sit

filing and polishing her nails. 1t

PROGRESS is unique in Journal
ism. No other publication in the
world occupies a similar field.
While it notes all social events of
Importance, at home and abroad,
il is not q mere record OF the
movements in fashionable life. It
treats pithily Of all subjects ofin-
terest to educated and cultured
taste. Literature, art, music and
the drama have attention in ey-
ery number. 1t is not a political
journal. but it never hesitates to
express it's opinion upon political
questions, and these opinions are
strictly independent of all cliques
and parties.
The aim Of the management will
be. as heretofore, to have PROGRESS
a pleasant paper. 1t may be
needed to make public the dis
agreeable happening of life. but
that Progress leaves to others, and
goes forth greeting everybody
cheerfully and happily, and with
bright good nature.

Christmas Gifts.-Suggestions.

Christmas is coming! with its de-
mand for pretty fancy articles sui
table for Christmas gifts, and afew
suggestions as to new styles OF art
needlework may be acceptable to
those having a number of friends to
provide for. A nice present for a
housekeeper is a set of half a dozen
doylies or small fruit napkins. The
lotest fashion is to turn down one
corner of the linen squares and
work upon it an orange, banana, or
other fruit, varying the design on
each. Embroidered aprons are
now very fashionable for home wear
and may be made OF satin, linen,
pongee, or muslin, and decorated
with silk, woods, or crewels, as the
material suggests. A very tasteful
apron for a young lady is one OF pure
white popsee worked With dainty
knots Of viiolets, the waistband and
strings being of delicate lavender
ribbon. We have seer them OF ecru,
tied with scarlet, the front decorated
with eomieal looking honey-bees,
and the motto, in outline stitch,
How doth the little busy bee I'M

for evening aprons.
A new feature of art needlework
is using small worsted or plush balls
which are sold by the dozen. These
are fattened on one side and sewed
on in groups of three,a shadow being
worked beneath each, and when mix
ed with a%rtistically shaded leaves
