That Home Of Ours.

In these days of low prices, when
a pretty print or muslin dress can be
bought for five or eight cents a yard,
cambric and satteens in choice colors
for fifteen cents, or cotton and wool
fabrics for suits at twenty-five cents,
there is little reason why a lady
should not be prettily dressed when
about her work at home. If the
warm, damp weather takes the curls
all out of her frizzes, few moments
should be employed after the family
are scattered to put them up again.
A little more trouble and expense
will more than pay, if the little chill
dren are overheard to say, doesn't
mother look sweet?" Boys, espec-
tally, are very early Influenced by
the surroundings at home. Happily
the old custom of having a "best
room" shut up, except for weddings,
funerals or occasional company, is
fast being abandoned. Now the
Sunbeams are welcombed, for it has
been found that it is choice between
them and malaria, or disease in some
form. All the best things are now
crowded into one room, and the 9TH
ers left bare and shabby. Doors are
removed and curtains or portieres
hung on brass or stained rods, divide
halls and rooms. The curtains are
made of variety of materials. They
are heavy striped and figured goods,
which come for this purpose, but
plain goods with broad bands of con-
trasting color are richer. Double
faced canton flannel ia the best cheap
material. Dark blue or garnet is
and bands of strips used
for saddle girths, or some kinds of
coach trimmings are very effective
upon them. Often one wishes cur
tain between large and small
chamber or dressing room. Cretonne
is best for this. Screens used for
this purpose are very useful and
ornamental, and may be very ex-
pensively or cheaply made. A
clothes horse makes good frame
when stained or ebonized. II it has
three panels, each should be diff

The dry and arid regions of this
country are steadily diminishing.
As the cultivation of the American
soil extends, the area upon which
rain falls enlarges. In California
seasons of drought when wheat could
not be grown were formerly FREE
quent, but of late years there has
been no failure of the small grain
crops from this cause. Then the
number of days in which rain falls
has increased. Formerly, rain rare
ly fell later than April, but this year
rain-storms of great violence occur
red as late as June. Rain also now
falls often in Western Kansas, where
formerly it was very unfrequent, 1t
is supposed the extension of teIe-

IT has been discovered that per-
sons who are condemned TO life inn
prisonment have their years actually
prolonged by being provided with
food, shelter and raiment, and re-
lieved of all the troubles which as
sail men who have to look out for
themselves. Hence. the italian
newspapers are demanding return
to the death penalty on the score of
economy. In this country life inn
prisonment rarely exceeds ten years,

SOME scientist has come to the
front with new theory. He holds
that every thought or impression
evolved from or felt by the brain
produces q muscular contraction,
which skilled person can very read
lily detect and classify, and that the
thoughts can be read by those mus
cular contractions. We know by
personal experience that this is true.
When pretty girl puts her arms
around our neck in loving manner,
and then the muscles contract and
draw our lips to hers, we know
pretty well what she thinks of us !;
and when big, strong man comes
up and puts his fingers on our neck,
any man of good common sense
would be able to correctly guess that
he entertains an idea of temporarily
abating our breath. There is moth
ing SO very startling shout the new
theory, after all.

Has not the Republican party con-
trolled the national administration
for almost twenty. four years?
Has it not enacted all the laws
durino that time?
Has it not executed the laws by
men of its choice?
Has the party brought prosperity
to you and your families!
Are you working for good wages
all the time?
Are there no mills closed!
Ale wages not cut down?
Do you find living cheap, rents
low, provisions abundant and low
priced clothing and other supplies
down to the cut in pay?
How many days have you been
idle since last New Years!
Can you tell when work will be
abundant and wages good?
Arc business affairs satisfactory
to you?
Did not the Republican party make
business affairs what they are and as
bad as they are? .4;a
How much more are your wages
to-day than they were four years
ago, when this same Republican
party promised you more pay and
more work if you would support its
ticket? E t4
Who has grown richer in the last
four years of Republican policy, you
or the men who were rich then and
who seek to allure you with the same
sort of arguments now?

Conflicting Statements Regarding Rumored
Declaration of War.
LONDON, Aug 16-The Times's dispatches
from Foo Chow say France has rejected media
ton and China refuses to pay the indemnity de-
manded by France and has declared war. Ad-
miral Courbet has demanded 1000 men from
Tonquin. General Millot sent 600 men, with two
batteries of artillery, on Monday, with sealed or
ders Six thousand Chinese troops have landed
at Hoihaw. Heavy masses of troops are sta
toned on the Kwangsi frontier The French
and Chinese war ships have steam up and their
decks cleared for action. The Chinese have dis
patched war orders to the viceroys of the prov
inces. The officials pretend they have prepared
for war, but as matter of fact the condi-
tions of the troops, forts, ETC., better than
last April.
The news that China has declared war is dis
credited in English official circles.
A Paris dispatch says: Neither the French
government nor the Chinese legation are aware
that war has been declared by China, as asserted
in the Foo Chow dispatch in the London Times
this morning The Chinese legation has not
hauled down its flag.
A dispatch from Paris to the Exchange Tele-
graph Company denies the report that China
has declared war against France. 1t is expected,
on the other hand, that negotiations will be re-
sumed. It is semi-oficially announced that
France has not rejected mediation in the Franco
Chinese difficulty On the other hand, it is
stated that no one has offered to mediate.
Through Marquis Tseng Chinese ambassador
to England. and the British embassy at Pekin,
Earl Granville, is urging China to concede the
indemnity demanded by France, provided the
French fleet shall Immediately leave Kelung. 1t
is considered doubtful if Prime Minister Ferry
would surrender Kelung on the payment of the
indemnity, as it is believed the real object Of
France in making the claim was to secure per
manent possession CT the coal mines at Kelung.
1t is argued that in case France should refuse to
give up Kelung on the payment of the indemni-
ty, England has promised to interfere in support
of China. 1t is confidently asserted that no
offer of mediation has been made France by
England, Germany or America.

A GREAT OFFER.
The WEEKLY JOURNAL
for the Campaign at
% CENTS

In order to place the WEEKLY INDIANA
STATE JOURNAL in the home of every Repub-
hcan in the State, and thus do good campaign
service for the Republican party, we have de-
cided to send the paper till after the presiden-
tial election for % cents.
The WEEKLY JOURNAL is a complete family
newspaper. It is specially edited and much
of the matter appearing in it is especially pre-
pared for the wants of the weekly readers II
is compendium Of the NEWS OF THE WORLD
from all quarters; it has full and accurate mar
ket reports; its editorials are political, social
and general it has the news of the State
and of the city. It's literary and miscellane-
GUS features are Of the best.
The WEEKLY JOURNAL is a newspaper that
should be in every family in Indiana, and at
the price named for it there is no reason why
it should not be- at least during the exciting
and important campaign upon which the
country has now entered. Political COM
mittees cannot do better than to see that
copies of The WEEKLY JOURNAL are placed
in the hands Of those persons in their
counties who are not now readers Of
some sound Republican paper. The
tariff question is the one issue which
is likely to be- most prominently dis
cussed, and to this the Journal pays especial
attention, advocating the maintenance of the
principle Of protection to American industry
in whatever revision of the tariff laws may be
made necessary in the future developments Of
business and labor. In this question the
farming community is deeply interested, and
the discussions of the Journal will be
largely directed to the agricultural aspects Of
the question.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is the only paper in
Indiana that publishes regularly Ten Pages
and this will be continued throughout the
campaign, despite the low price. Send in
namesrat once, either singly or in clubs, and
thus get the full term for the money.
