THE people of Omaha have lately been

The people OF Omaha have lately Deeii
wrestling with peculiar municipal condi-
tions. The Mayor and City Marshal are
both indicted for receiving brides from
the gamblers. A change was finally
made in the latter named office and a
more reliable man put at the head of the
police force. This cleared the way some
what for the City Council, which was
thus left with simply the Mayor to
straighten out, For the past month
meetings have been held almost every
night and for a while it seemed as if the
Mayor, Col Champion I. Chase, would
fight the matter TO the bitter end. There
was general surprise, consequently, when
he resigned in favor of the president of
the City Council. The members then
turned in and impeached him, The
charges made against him we're couched
in the following vigorous language:
LIST. Drunkenness, which has become
habituated by the co instant and excessive
use of strong and spirituous liquors and
alcoholic drinks.
End. lncompetency to perform the du-
ties of the Mayor, caused by drunkenness
and a arrangement of the nervous system
which have affected his brains and pro-
duced unsoundness of mind.
3rd. Neglect Of duty.
4th. Misconduct, malfeasance and mis-
demeanor in office, for hat the said
Champion S. Chase did take and secure
brides from gamblers and others, which
did corruptly influence him in the per-
Torrance of the duties of his Office, and
caused him to neglect the enforcement of
laws and ordinances necessary for the
good government of the city and necessary
for the protection of life and properly.
5th. Conspiring and c%onniving with r.
c. Guthrie, marshal, for gain, rewards
and brides, TO allow and suffer the laws and
ordinances to be violated without prose
cutting the offenders.
Those who know Col. Chase will learn
with surprise that even under a stress Of
circumstances he consented to give up an
office.

A correspondent asks for the best method
of cleansing oil paintings which have been
badly fy-specked, and are otherwise soiled.
The practice in vogue among cleaners is as
follows: Remove the frame, ami dust the sur
face with brush or feather. after which pass
a sponge moistened in spring water over 1t.
Cover the picture next with a ~shaving-soap
lather, which does not easily dry, and in ten
minutes wash off again with a brush and as
little water as necessary. When dry, rub
with a clean rag moistened in nitro-benzine
or artificial oil Of bitter almonds, substituting
a fresh rag occasionally, ami not desisting
from the process as long as the rags get dirty.
Treatment with fine olive oil, and afterward
with a quick-drying yarnish, will revive the

A New Industry for Women.
TNaU Vnrk Gnp


"Pm "A duster, " said a young woman whom
a reporter met in a private house up town
IN professional duster. Pm not the only one.
It's a regular profession, busting is, nova
days. Tn parlors of the rich have grown to
Us so many museums Of delicate and costly
To dust and arrange these col
~lectious every day would too severely tax the
strength of the wealthy ladies. To set the
servants at the work wa found to be bad
management, not because they were
bunglinR and liable to smash tho deli
cate fabrics, but because the serv-
ants have no time to spare from their
other duties. Therefore the mistresses en-
ploy competent women to keep their parlors
in order. Tho busting business is an estab-
lished industry, but 1t is confined to the me-
tropolis, and almost entirely TO the region OF
~brown-stone fronts. All the busters l know
of are women who have seen better days, but
OF course it isn't every educated and refined
woman who can make a good duster."
What are the requirementsf'
"She must be light footed. quick and
strong in her wrists and arms. To visit a
dozen houses in the forenoon before callers
arrive, and dust and arrange things, iE no
child's play. A woman must fairly jump at
her work. The remuneration Well,
81 or 10 cents a visit, sometimes
more. At some houses where the
hostess entertains a good many guests the
rooms IRE arranged every day. Orders are
given to the busters to change the arrange
ment of the appointments every time they
come. Then, again, a duster must know how
TO take hold OF every sort OF knick-knack
and how to move it safely. She must know
just what sort of brush to use for every sort
OF busting. The brush that will not break a
hlmy tissue OF glass is useless On a piece Of
furniture, and would not reach the ceiling
corners. She must have several brushes,
and she must not be careless or slapdssh for
an instant. There are few bits of bric-a-brnc
in the parlors that l could replace with SIX

Very pretty women have one grand
advantage over their palmer sisters They
can play any trick with themselyes-bs an
tique or %humdrum, as they choose; any cut
and any colcr suits them; they have carte
blanche in dress and gesture. Plain women
have not quite the same freedom. They arc
very much more dependent on their dress.
They must study in~telligently what suits
them. and what does not; what cut or trim

increases their height, or takes from it Tho
poorer the frame, the less graceful are its
movements and the more important arc tho
accessories.
Plain women seem better suited to antique
costumes than pretty ones-perhaps many
such costumes rather conceal than express
the figure beneath; perhaps because We cum
meet such quaint garb with the homely faces
in old pictures. Van Dyck and his school
seldom give US very pretty faces, but the
counbenances are full of truth and character.
Happily for the plain, there is just now a
strong reaction against mere prettiness, and
the nrbiters OF taste in modern literature
declare almost unanimously in favor of plain
looking but sensible women. Certain 1t Is,
a plain woman has only to adopt quAintness
TO be voted, not an ugly woman, but of very
interesting appearance. And here appears
her signal advantage over the pretty sisters
when they begin to fret over lost bloom,
her charms, such us they are, remain un-
impaired. At almost any age. with any
looks, she can be picturesque" Plain
women must adhere to soft colors, and guide
the sweep Of their draperiea- They must cal
culate effects. Long folds lend grace even
to Caliban, where short ones tell sad tales
II ankles and angles. and plain women should
especially avoid cheap materials, soiled and
crumpled details, and all slight and fiinsy
gewgaws
Dress, with most OF US women, has a really
difficult part to-day. 1t must not only pro-
tect from heat and cold, as in tho case of the
unspoilable beauty; it must conceal defects
and attract to good points-of which the
plninost woman has some. To Venus it matt
tiers not what nor how much sbe wears or
filings away, but average mortals are NJ
dependent on their ~plumage as the birds.

TeaohIn=ichiidron self Reliance.

tfnllauelpnla CalLl
Self-relianco is dependence on self in empr-
gencies and amid all the duties and struggles
OF life. Some idea OF what we are-the habit
Of undergraduates a preparation for this.
And in order to do this we believe the more
responsibility children are made to assume at
home, the better for them For example, q
round OF duties may be assigned, for the reg
ular and correct performances of which they
are held responsible. This supposes that they
be not reminded Of those duties from day to
day, but expected to think of and attend to
them. 1t may be the care Of a room, the
setting apart of certain hours for study, the
looking after certain chores. No matter
what, responsibility Is attached, and the
child thun left. II careless, it is evident that
it is weak in "A very important particular.
And education, along this line, may be regu-
lar and constant. Il is, however, only the
beginning.
In a more advanced stage this element as
sumes the exercise of Judgment. For n
child to merely perform routine services does
not bring into play faculties which tend to
self-rellance. As u rule self-reliant persons
are those who rave decided opinions, and
confidence in them. They thus act And
Judgment must be exercised in order to
strengthen and grow. As a rule, the best
way to promote this is to compel its exercise,
md then aid by encouraging criticism.
Eau t-iinding criticism is not a good rule.
It tends to embarrass ahd discourage. But
by pointing out errors with judicious praise
where deserved, and encouraging assurances,
this quality may be strengthened. We
remember a boy who for years could not be
taught 10 observe. Censure, abuse, ridicule
and scorn only CONFUSED and discouraged.
One day a gentleman pointed out particulars
Of certain objects in d pleasant, kindly way.
The dormant faculties were aroused in the boy
and his power OF observation rapidly grew.
So with Judgment 1t is a faculty that can
be cultivated ana encouraged.
