Ladies Wearing Insects.

Were it not for the hundred and one
little novelties which are constant
ly being devised for the elaboration of
her toilet the girl of the period would
die ofennui. Dust at present the insect
craze Is upon us, and the woman folks
are decked ont with spiders, scorpions,
devils darning needles, pinch bugs, bee
ties, and q whole range of ugly crawl
ing and creeping things which are used
for ornaments. This only shows the
superiority of art over nature. One real
bug or lively spider will throw a woman
into commissions; but such is the ameli-
Grating effect Of art that she walks
about with ill-concealed pride, fairly ra-
diant under dozen or more thousand
legged insects of blue, green, orange
and red, gilt. These hideous creatures
are displayed in every part of the toilet,
not so much for utility as ornament -
They close collar loop piece of
drapery, fasten a bow of ribbon, Turk in
the coils of prettily braided hair, peep
out from the meshes of soft lace and
thrust their ugliness against a pretty
Whlle neck or wrist.
Sometimes these ornaments are of
wood, gray, black or moldy silver, and
so true 70 nature in size and shape that
often kind-hearted men and nervous Ia
dies attempt to brush them of, and re-
ceive only derisive smile for their So
licitude. Such an experience tickles a
girl vanity, and she recitcs and chuck
les over the occurrence for weeks after.
This bug mania is about as ugly spcci-
men OF art run mad as can be imapined
and goes TO show the inconsistency of n
sex whose delicate sensibilites, through
the dictates of fashion, can be recon
ciled TO what in nature, always has

Touched the Chord.

At noon yesterday there were half a
dozen idlers at the foot OF Woodward
avenue, some asleep, some looking des-
pondent, and two who had just assured
pedestrian that they must have work
at some price or starve. A gentle
man suddenly stepped out of an Office
and approached one of these men and
said:
you look like an honest man"

the man, as the other hcsitated.

"And what, sirP'
"Wel, the board decided to cut it
down to $500"
Then don't you take it," said the
mans partner.
Then | wont! If / amt worth as
much as the other man was, the board

The gentleman walked back into the
office, the winner of box Of cigars. He
had wagered that he would offer the
man place at $500 per year, and
that it would be refused. Detroit Free

CHARLEY BEERS lately gave Milwau-
kee man who was sitting on his railing
shock OF his electric battery. The man
didn't know what hit him and asked a
passer by if he could account for the
numbness he felt. He didn't know what
was up but thought his time was come
and that Deaths icy finger was laid upon
him. When he discovered the source of
his sensation he rolled himself into the
saloon and asked;
''Say, Mister, did you turn your ma
chine onto me ?'
He was asked to explain himself but
insisted he could not because he was so
numb. But he was going to wheel the
law into line when he felt like himself
again. That man thinks Manitowoc
fearfully wicked place.

THOMAS should change his name,
Thomes the concert Uirtuoso, the music
tjste,-there are some other musical
terms of classical import that may be
used such as cresce'adO, legato, but it is
not sure that Thomas is one of these.
But Thomas is unfortunate in his name.
There are other virtuosoes and artistes
who bear that appellation and each one
is whole orchestra in himself. There
lives not man who has seen the an
nouncement of Thomas concert whose
mind does not instantly revert to the
tom cats plantation where concerts are
given with strength of lung that ban
ishes sleep and wakes one to the ecstasy
of baffied rage. Friend Tom if you have
another name in the locker, trot it out
and great will be your reward in enlarged
houses. Your name when coupled with
a musical entertainment is too strongly
suggestive of other soTees which make
men revel in profanity and unmindful of
the Hereafter.

The case of General Harnden will,

The case of General Harnden will,
perhaps, serve a good purpose, two good
purposes if any. 1t will call attention to
the hollowness of those protestations of
the republican party, that it is the spec.
ial benefactor of the old soldier. This
Wanted concern has for its object the
winning of the soldier vote. Another
desirable end will be attained; this I'M
meaning gable of duty to the soldier
kind of fiattery that has in many in
stances undermined the good sense of
the old soldiers who were attending
strictly to their business, will come to an
end and words of praise, if less profuse
will be more sincere.
There is not concern in the country
which gees q means of making money
through pretended concern for the old
soldiers, that is not sickening by its
show of devotion. Every newspaper
Office is deluged with circulars from
pension agents, claim agents and the
thousands who fatten on old soldiers.
These circulars are full of stuff about
the nations defenders" The agents
think as much of the nations defend
ers" as they do of tramps but they see
chance to make money and they are fill
ed with post bellum patriotism.
General Harnden has become pulled
up with this ceaseless burning of incense
and makes himself appear ridiculous by
his whining. He must have been
childishly credulous or he was aware of
the hypocrisy of republicans and others
who were lying awake nights to think
of new ways for honoring sold soldiers"
Let us commend to him the example of
soldier from this county.
Jere Daley was one of the first men to
enlist at the breaking out of the war.
He remained until its close. He was no
holiday soldier. He was always at the
front and took part in the heaviest bat
ties of the war. There is no old veteran
in the state who has had greater familiar
ity with "battle's magnifcently stern
array" And yet there are not ten per-
sons who did not see Jere in soldiers
uniform who know he ever wore the
blue. He has not studied platforms nor
statutes, to see what special privileges
are given soldiers and has never held
office. Harnden should copy Jere's
modesty.

CHRIS. GIELow gives crop reports that
are not quite as encouraging as have
been given for some time. Pease are
not more than one-half a crop and the
quality is quite poor. Russian and
Minnesota wheat is quite good, but the
Fife has been blightsd. The cause is
not apparent. The head is turning
black and the grain has quit filing. Mr..
Gielow says similar blight overlook this
variety of wheat few years ago, and in
consequence not near 50 much of the
kind has been sown since. He estimates
that one-fourth of the wheat of the
county is Fife.

farther north tackled John at the steam
boat dock Sunday morning. "This
town" said John, looking around for
baggage, "an't no SLOUGH. We have
10000 population; 100 factories which
employ 20, 900 men. The river is Is feet
deep for ten miles and the city extends
4 miles into the country. l belong to

that John didn't like and he swore with
40 mule power. The Texans sought
some other locality where religion was
not so rampant.

Dress Silks

That the quality of our black
as we'll as our colored Silks is
of very superior kind, and
that the prices are right, IS
clearly shown by the extraor-
binary success we have had
in this line during the last
year.
Every lady who used our
silks for dresses, and there are
many, advises her friends to
get some of the same kind she
had, and that is always the
safest for the would-be pur-
chaser to go by and the best
recommendation we could wish
for. There is a report that the
silk crop ia Japan is a failure,
and that silks will go up, but
we don't believe it and will
not advance prices for some
time at least.
