Before the meeting adjourned Colonel
:. y. Paul stated that he was happy TO
he able TO say that a suit is about to be
brought in the United States Court,
which will be FOR more than $1,000.
and will therefore enable the State to
take an appeal to the Supreme Court OF
the United States, and it had been so
arranged that the issues involved in the
Parsons case could be passed upon by
the Supreme Court in March.
EFFECTo OF THIS MOVE.
The bulk Of the State coupons used
in the payment Of taxes are bought by
the people of Richmond. The pa
triOtism Of the city has on this az
count been more than once impugned
in the Legislature. But the truth is,
no other place is so situated as Rich
mond is TO offer coupons. The proof
of the genuineness OF the coupons is
easier 10 secure here than anywhere
else in the State has been heretofore,
but will not be hereafter, as in a re-
cent case in the Hastings Court the
Second Auditor, for reasons which he
gave, said that he could not swear TO
the genuineness Of any detached cou-
pom. Now, a very large body Of tax
payers have voted for the above pledge.
and the signatures Of hundreds of others
will be obtained.
On Monday printed copies Of the
resolutions will be circulated at the
Stock, Corn and Cotton, and Tobacco
Exchanges, and amongst merchants,
manufacturers, and taxpayers gene
rally.

At the next meeting e the board of public
education, a plan will probably be reported
BY n committee, and pressed for final action,
for the Introduction Of cooking as one OF the
branches Of study In the girls normal school.
II has been found and so stated In the official
reports TO the board that ths time given 10
sewing in that school, which was taken from
tho time formerly devoted to other studies,
has not lowered the standard in those stud
les, and that, ON the contrary, the change of
employment has reacted benefclally upon
them Professor George W. Fetter, princi-
pal Of the normal school, Is OF the opinion
that cooking may be added by slightly mod
flying the curriculum, with results equally
advantageous to the the school.
Professor Fetter considers that two or
three hours a week, after the actual instruc-
ton in cooking begins. VIII be sufficient time
to devote TO this subject. He thinks that
the expense of such 4 school would amount
only to tho pay Of a teacher and to the out
lay for the necessary fixtures, as there
are -four or five rooms with ranges, exit upon
the street, etc, in tie basement, which are
not used as class rooms, and which are adj
mirably adapted to thi, purpose; and he
says, as the food can be readily disros ed of
at cost to the large number OF girls who at
tend the school and who would no doubt
prefer those well-prepnrod hot meals to the
cold lunches which they now bring with
tirm This consumption of food is not
opened to the objection raised by all educa-
tors to production a. an end in Industrial ed

The executive committee of the Stock
Growers Association held a meeting yes

not exactly a love feast. owing to personal
feeling against the local press, which, it is

The statement seems incredible, and is
doubtless exaggerated.

There will shortly appear in our book
stores an original novelty for Easter. de-
signed by two Buffalo girls who nave met
with such unexpected encouragement among
dealers to whom they have submitted their
work that they have every prospect OF be-
coming successful business women. The lit
lie ornament, which they have fashioned TO
hang on q abine or gas bracket Easter
morning, is Il white satin crescent fringed
with silver ~spangles AMI busted over with
silver powder. In the fame circle rests a
broken egg with n cunning downy chicken
peeping forth, his bright eye Swapping mis-
'chicvously 4rom under his yellow, fuzzy
coat. White chenille strings form a finish
and pretty means of hanging up this Easter
greeting. We leain that the young women
have not once introduced their design here,
but have received largo orders from Roches-
ter and other ~neighboring piaee. Any
young lady nowadays who can get up some
thing new and pretty for an inexpensive
holiday souvenir is almost insured OF her
income in advance.

It is a dreadful bother to DO a woman and
do the business up in good shape. In the
first place you've got TO look well, or you're
nobody. A man may be ever so homely
and still be popular. Whiskers cover up
most Of his face, and IL he has a big mouth
nobody mistrusts it, and il he does wrinkle
bad ON his forehead his friends speak Of his
many cares and of his thoughtful disposition,
and tell each other that his wrinkles are lines
Of thought Lines Of thought, indeed, when
in all probability his forehead is wrinkled
by the bad habit he has got Of scowling
at his wife when the coffee is not strong
enough.
A woman must always DO In good order.
Her hair must always be frizzled and
banged, as fashion demands, and She must
powder If she has n shining skin; and she
must manage to look sweet, no matter how
sour she may feel; her dress must hang Just
SO, and her lace must always DO ~spotless, and
her boot buttons always In place, and her
finger-nails always clean; and then she
mustn't whistle, nor climb fences, nor stone
cats. nor scold when she's mad.
She can't 90 out alone, because ladies must
be protected; she cam go anywhere when it
rains, because her hair won't stay frizzed
and she'll get mud on her petticoats and
things; she can't be n Free Mason, because
she would tell their secrets and everybody
would know all about the goat and gridiron;
she can't smoke, because that would be un-
feminine; she can't go counting, because tina
would not be womanly. But she must get
married before she is %, or everybody
will feel wronged- People will sigh over
her and wonder why it is that mon adon't
seem to take;' and all tho old maids and
widows smile and keep quiet Oh, these
smiles and these significant looksl They
are ten times more than open ISLANDERS. 1t
is a terrible thing to DO an old maid. Every
body knows it is, and the women who are
married to drunken husbands, and who
manage to quarrel with them six days out
Of seven, will live in an agony Of spirit over
the single woman n call her that apoor
old maid.n

In our surroundings we must avoid de-
tachment and separation The harmony Of
correspondence is much more beautiful than
the harmony OF contrast. The crudest idea
Of effect in furnishing rooms is TO put some
thing dark behind everything that Il light,
and something that is light behind every
that is dark merely detaching and separat-
ing the object from It's background This Is
bad. The coiors and objects should blend
Aroom should be like n fine orchestra,
where the music comes to you in one sweep,
not broken and detached, note from note.

this Is Eevres; this is Dresden; this Is the
finest ware in the world" 1t is perfectly
moulded, perfectly fired, perfectly glazed,
perfectly colored, and with a decoration
that had no more relation to the thing dec

IL can choose its own laws, but decoration
must be s~ubordinated to tho purpose OF the

ton Is Of the order Of a child who sticks
decalcomania ON objects and thinks it beau

models that crazy quilts are the rage-in-

aimlessly patching together bits OF silk and
satin, beaded. painted and embroidered an
order Of work which most OF our maniacs
would repudiate with scorn.
This degradation of taste comes from our
having been demoralizsd for generations
with pictures ON the ceiling, pictures on the
carpets, pictures on rugs, pictures on porce-
lain, where they don't belong-inharmoni-
Gus, unrelated, unprincipled. Yes, the word
unprincipled applies to art quite as much as
TO character; as art is more subtle in its in
fiuence than most people, and Il had thing

Some people associate the ballet and all
that compose it with all that is deprnved,

are wrong. There IS no season why a ballet
girl should not be as respectable and re-
spected as any one else. If shs happens to
get into n crowd who nre n trihe wild and
indiscreet, the mere fact of being associated
with them does not compel her to adopt
their habits.
Take. for example. TIE girls we employ
when extra help Is needed. Is it just to say
