For the spring silks that are worn also in
the summer the tendency this season is to
return to glace, taffetas and shot silks in
preference to the soft twilled Surahs that
have so long found favor and will not yet be
abandoned. The new feature in these silks
is checked or rdye ground of the finest
checks or horizontal lines, and to throw
large bright plaid on this in crossing bars, or
1t may be there are only perpendicular
stripes of one or two soft contrasting colors
Dull green next pale rose stripes are seen
among small checks of deeper tones Of these
two colors, and there are mandarin and Ha-
yana brown bars on brighter ecru and light
er brown checks. Another fancy is that Of
weaving blocks of velvet third of an inch
square on very finely checked silk grounds;
this is to be made up as the basque and ORA
perry of pleated skirt that is checked with
out the velvet blocks, but is deliberately
trimmed with velvet ribbon. The new fam
cy for brocaded figures on checked grounds
is odd and pretty; these have small sprays
OF flowers, punches of leaves, or tiny bas-
kets of flowers or clusters of berries brOcaded
IN gay natural colors on checked ground of
quiet, sober hues, Shot silks of two chang
ing colors are revived, and are given new
effect OF reps by being woven with we'll
marked cross threads of blue next orange,
or raspberry alternating with pale rose, or
green with pepita, salmon with pink, and
dark red with blue. These shot silks have
also the small brocaded designs that are to
be used for parts of the dress, while the
simpler silks without the figures form the
remainder. Velvet cut from the piece, vel
vet ribbon, aud various new embroideries
and laces are the trimmings for these spring
silks.

relate did not descend upon the villagers
thus inIuded upon. Rowing demons, who
might just as readily carry the pestilence as
human beings, are begged off at these log
barriers by the depositing OF offerings of the
usual kind, mostly eatabes, as being more
likely to produce lethargy, or ut any rate
good temper, than flowers, posy OF which
is, however, frequently very acceptable to
the spirits, especially If il is made up of
heaVy-smelllng orchids. In not few OF the
hill tracts there is am analogous custom OBJ
served, one which bears strong resemblance
to the rite called 'genna" by the Nagas. Be
fore the season for the commencement OF la
Dor on the hill elearings the whole village is
shut up entirely, and no one Is allowed eth
er to leave or to enter the stockade which
surrounds it, All the fires in the place are
put out, and no cooking Is done until the
prescribed time, varying from one day to a
week, has passed over. These lights are OBJ
tanned from Esprit fire. If the district is
fortunate enough to have such Willie the
wisp-like phenomenon in its neighborhood.
If not, the wizard or spirit doctor of the
community furnishes fire In mysterious,
fashion, and mumbles many "gatas" over 1t
before the good wives are allowed to kindle
the flame ON the household hearth. Till this
has been done any visitors there may be,
though such apparitions are In most dis
trlcts exceeding rarities on the cherries hill
tops, are kept outside, and have to provide
for themselves in the way of food and shell
ter as best they can. Fortunately for them
the highlands are not so inhospitable in
their prepal ations as the Malays and Achin
ese, who scatter "ranjowsN (sharp- pointed
caltrops) on the paths and feather the long
grass with barbed hooks which work into
the flesh, or as certain negro tribes who
hope to make themselves inaccessible to de-
mons by plentifnlly sowing the path with
thorns.

The Early Bird.


1t is pretty well settled now that the very
early bird doesn't come after the worm; he
comes before it. And, by reason Of this
very preyiousness, he gets left, right along,
year by year. tits one of those lusus uatssra'
in which the bird loses his nature, and ma
ture in return loses a bird.
Amid the ugh.and-tumble Of the Febru-
airy and March tumult, there appears now
and then, each year, a soft and balmy day
Its sky is gentle, the faintest of sweet doors
are in the air, and the south wind that brings
them whispers through the leaness trees the
promise Of the coming summer. 1t is well
come sound. In such day, man wishes
he had medium oyercoat Not having it,
he goes out without any, and comes home
TO die-generalIy Of pneumonia. On such a
day, all of sudden and without warning,
the early bird appears. There Is nothing
under the sun for him to eat. The crust Of
the earth is no. digestible The insect
world is frozen in or under 1t, and there's
not worm TO be seen except such worthless
ones as we.
Il is a peculiar situation for a bird to find
himself In. Indeed, In clearinghouse par
lance, he can't find himself" and so he Is
generally lost. The appearance Of the early
bird is signal as infallible as any that the
Government hangs out. 1t is direct notifi-
cation that we are about to have tremen-
dous change Of weather, and that 1t is TO
come off cold, with snow and sleet, and the
general devastation of misplaced winter.
The bird disappears. Sometimes his dead
body is found in the snow; but oftener the
funeral is private-as In the case of nearly

Among the hill Karenns-some Of whom
are extremely fiery and stalwart individuals
when an epidemic breaks out in village,
all the other neighboring settlements estab-
lish an elementary kind Of quarantine, to
break through which entails very unpleas-
ant consequences on the offender The hill
and forest paths leading to the afflicted vii
lace are blocked up in loose kind Of way.
A beam is suDg across the track, and TO
this is suspended heavy stone. Any one
passing over this log barricade would have to
paw the penalty with his life, unless be was
able to buy himself off with the weight of
the stone in gold, an exceedingly improbable
contingency in the case of most mountain
wayfarers. This custom is still to be met
with in some out-of-the-way parts of the
British Province of Tenasserim, and Capt,
Low tells us that he once found himself il a
dilemma Of this kind. Like most law break
ing Englishmen in foreign parts he, howev-
er, got off free. He declined altogether TO
pay anything at oil, and the hill men wisely
concluded that the endeayor to exact his
blood would be almost as dangerous as to
risk the infection, which it is satisfactory to

THE CIVIL SERVICE PLANK.

1.-The civil service plank, Of which the
recently enacted law ls an embodiment,
in so far as 1t is a first step, was pro-
posed by Mr.. Tilden, after thorough dis
cussiOn by the press. II was adopted
unanimously, approved by both eandl-
dates, encountered no opposition In any
quarter in the canvass. 1t was substan'
TALLY re-enacted in the platform OF 1880,
and has been approved by the Ohio Dem
Ocraey, and by the Democracy OF other
States. Ohio Democracy won suhstan-
tial victory, which was the forerunner
of a national victory, upon the platform
of 1882, which contained thorough-go-
ing civil service reform clause. Mr.. PEN
dleton, fresh from advocacy Of his bill,
was made chairman Of that convention.
The continual carping OF . few spoils-
men and malicious persons has only
emDhasized the substantial unAnim1ty
of ftheDemOcracy on that subject for eight
years past.~ II has had sndfhHs now the
approval OF all the leading statesmen Of
the party, and the bill which was framed
in obedience to the platform and Its al
most unanimous approval by the people
in two national eRnvasses, secured an
almost unanimous support OF Demo
Gratis in Congress. Character and abll-
ity considered 1t was practically unAni-
nous. Hence we can say that, tried by
all possible tests, the plank OF 1875 and
bill framed under it, are the embOdi-
ment OF Democracy, and the objections
OF a few, chiefly in Ohio, are largely per-
sOnal, and merely friVolOus.-Cineinnat

motives. But Senators make great mis-

EVERY good citizen is interested in
having a just government; especially
is this true of every man who supports
himself by his own labor. A just gov
ernment secures justice to all citizens
has no favorites, grants no special priyi-
leges, has no privileged or favored class,
but secures equality of rights to alb
equality Of opportunity and equal taxa
tion.
The Democratic party while cOntroll-
ing the general government never
granted chartered privileges to any man
OF set Of men. And the revenue tariff
of lS46 averaged about 20 per cent aud
with large free list; and in 1856 the
rates were reduced to about IA per cent.
only. Under this tariff farmers got bet
ter prices for their wool than now. As
an old farmer friend told US the other
day: Before the war L used to get fifty
cents pound for my wool, but L don't
get 1t now"
Under the equable and just tariff tax-
alton of 1916, it is true, a millionaire
class did not grow up rapidly in this
country. All interests, however, were
equally favored and protected, some
were not crushed to benefit others, as
under the present, sRepublican iniqui-
ty. Ship building and our shipping in
terest, for example. were not crushed
but under this fair or free trade system
with equal opportunities, hourish,t
and expanded till Americans could
boast that our commercial marine
equalled or exceeded that of Great
Britain. Our flag was known the wOrlC
over. FOur-fifths Of our exports anC
imports were carried in American ships
whereas now it is just the reverse
This fact should open all eyes to the pre-
sent tariff iniquity.
