THE cRAzv oUTIT.
BY N. E sAxesrER.

Patchwork only, did you say,
This mosaic quaint and gay,
Starred with dainty applique,
In confusion Navy
Sooth it hath high-boTn air,
With an easeful charm and rare,
Tightening the weight Of care,
Wherefore call il crazy?
Every woman in the land
This bewitching quilt has planned;
Slender fingers, toil-worn hand,
Pulse alike with pleasure,
As the curious pieces blend,
This an heiFloOm's grace to lend,
That the souvenir OF friend,
Each cherished treasure.
Patiently dear grandma sets
Bit to bit, and swift forgets
All-the little daily frets,.
Age and loss are bringing
And We hear her softly Groom
To herself a tender tune
IT'S Of youth and love tune
She is gently singing.
Shaking heads and looking wise,
MERCHANTS smile with doubtful eyes
When, expectant OF prize,
Maidens beg a sample.
Stock of velvet, silk, or frieze,
like the famous nibbled cheese,
Disappears il, DANES 10 please,
Clipped are fragments ample.
Patchwork It's but gloriied,
AureoIed with stately pride,
Fit to offer to bride,
As a wedding present.
Stitched with more than common pam
Offspring OF artistic brains.
Wrought in flowers, and loops, an
chains,
Is this patchwork pleasant

A sisters affection may fade;
But mother-loYe shows its best beauty

And help him regain the lost way,
And speak to him kindly, in warning.

So noble, forgiving and true;

The figures show that in two years the
value of the agricultural products of the
South has increased over $214, 0QO, 600;
but taking these statistics just as they
stand, they do not show the full impor-
lance attached to them when compared
with the figures exhibiting the agTicul-
tural progress of the entire country. In
1880, according TO the United States
census, the value of all farm products
for the entire country was 81, 213, 402, 564,
of which $685., s72 ,64S was credited to the
South, or only about % per cent. of the
total: while in 1882, out of an aggregate
total of 81, S25, oo0, 600 the South had
1914, 099 ,074, or about 81 per cent, or
in other words while the entire country
made an increase OF but little over 5 per
cent, the southern States made an in
crease of about So percent.

Hon. John Il. LYNCH.


Washington Letter to the Cincinnati Commercial.
John r. Lynch the colored Republican who
obtained notoriety as the temporary chairman
of the Republican national convention, is here
lust now. He was, as is well known, a
member of the last House, and, therefore, we'll
acquainted in Washington He has good many
friends here, and having been a member of
Congress, is entitled to the privileges of the floor
of the House, where he is seen very often now
Lynch is a griffe-that is he is the son of
negro mother and mulatto father His mother
was favorite house servant of the family of
the Hon. Alfred Davis, very prominent planter
of louisiana whose home was in Natchez, on the
Mississippi side of the river, and the boy John,
when young was given some light employment
in the residence of his masters family until he
became old enough to be made Mr. Davis's
valet. Naturally bright, he soon learned to
read, and when he accompanied MIR. Davis to
Europe he was shrewd observer of persons and
things. In England he would have been made
free if he had made known his condition of serv-
itude but although he knew this. he preferred
to remain with his master, who had always been
very kind to him, rather than take the chance of
starvation among people whose philanthropy
is well enough on paper, but does not extend be-
yond that 1t speaks well for Lynchs sense of
gratitude that he has never forgotten the kind
ness of his former master, who is still one of
the richest men in Mississippi, and that the re
lations between the two have always been of the
most friendly character. 1t is said that when
Lynch was nominated for Congress by the Re
pubfcans from the shoestring district he went
to Mr.. Davis, told him what had happened and
borrowed from him the funds necessary for the
campaign.

The Dress of the Women of To-day--An In
describable Mixture.
Paris Letter in Pail Mall Gazette
After several visits to M. and Nine. Worth s
establishment in the Rue de la PaiX, / succeeded
in obtaining an audience of N. CASTOR Worth.
In reply to my wish that he would tell me all
about the Paris fashions, he said: at is ex-
tremely difficult to say anything precise ON the
character of the fashions now, because there is
no fashion at all. There are so many dress
makers each one having her own IDEAS that the
result is a sort of salmagundi which prevents the
fashion from having any definite character,
such as it had in former centuries The reason
why there have been SO many mixtures of every
kind is because comm uneatiOn between nations
is now so easy and rapid that a new fashion has
not time to be worn by everybody before another
one comes.
'sIn reality there are very few ladies' who dress
absolutely according to the existing fashion.
Women will not accept fashion Just when it is
shown to them they prefer to have what they
have been accustomed to for years past, and it is
rather difficult to make them understand that
they must try to change their habits. | will
give you an example. We once made q long
cloak, with gathering round the neck and on
the back open at the sides and back, and with
about ten hounces. The first season we only
made two or three of these cloaks. What pc
culiar thing it is said each lady when she saw
it TO" the first time i shall never wear a cloak
like that But the next season we sold from
two to three hundred of them, and three years
later every woman you saw i'll the street had
one, and the second rate establishments put
these clOaks forward as novelties.
''Then again. it is the fashion TO dress in gray
at the present time. but there are MANY ladies
who would not wear that color. 1t is also the
faahion 10 have a dress very high at the shout

known and trustworthy gentleman, makes the
following statement ''5fy SON, who was be-
tween three and four years old, was all drawn
up with rheumatism. His bones were twisted
and he was all doubled out of shape. He suf
fered intense pain, had lost his appetite was
cross and fretful He was reduced to a mere
skeleton, and had to be carried about on a pill
low. AS these cases of rheumatism where the
bones were twisted and the joints were all
crooked, had for years bafied the skill of the
most eminent physicians, l determined to use
Swifts Specific, as had seen testimonials from
men whom knew to be trustworthy, Of similar
cases it had cured l used two large size bottles
of 8. s. s. according to directions, with the most
satisfactory results. My son commenced inn
proving with the first dose of the medicine. His
sufferings diminished daily and his appetite in
creased; he became cheerful and in good spirits
Gradually he regained use of his limbs, the
twisted bones and joints Strengthened out and
in less than two months he was entirely cured
and could walk and get about as we'll as any
child of his age.
