THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 80.
WE ALL LIKE SHEEP.

"We sll like sheep" the tcnors shriii
pep;u and then the church is STILL
While back and forth across the aisle
Is seen to pass the catching" smile
I'VE all like sheep the altos moan
In low and rich and mellow tone,
While broader grows tho merry grim,
Aud nose gets further of from chin.
1--WE MI like sheep" sopranos sing
Till all the echoes wake and ring;
The Young folks litter, and the rest
Suppress the laugh in bursting chest
"We all like Sheep the bassos erowl-
The litter grows into howl,
And cen the deacon's face is gracco
With wonder at the singers taste.
1--WE all like sheep runs the refrain.
And then. to make their meaning pialh'
The singers altogether say,
I'VE all, like sheep, have gone astray:

How Ladies Redden their Lips.

$50 far as my own experience goes, F"
said physician, painting the lips is
not wide spread vice in America. 1t is
resorted to, for even men of the smallest
observation know the methods women
pursue for making their lips red."
'What do you mean ?"
"They bite them. 1t is impossible to
see woman in car or anywhere when
men are around that they do not contin-
ually press their lips with their teeth,
and bite them with more or less fierce
ness. This brings the blood to them and
makes them red. Still, as it keeps them
from chapping in the winter, there is no
reason why it should be condemned. AS
for cosmetics, they have almost gone out
of date, and have not anything like the
run they used to have. Women have at
last learned that good health brings them
color, and exercise has taken the place
of powder and paint. ."-Philadeiphia

WHAT THE MEASURE OF A woMAN's NECK
AND TOE DETERMINES.

WHAT THE MEASURE OF A WoMAN'S NECK
AND TOE DETERMINES.
"What you fit my dress by measuring
my neck?" said an Atlanta lady of fash
ion to the dress-maker.
"That is all want" was the reply.
"Dear me-" said the lady, chow
strange"
"Gynametry is the name of the sci
ence," said the lady with the measure
''The system of measuring the female
figure was discovered by me after years
of p tient study and hard work Profess
sors Bartlett and Battle gave the new
science the name of 'gynametry,' which
is made of the Greek words that mean
female measurement. The rules, how
ever, which apply to the female figure
apply with equal and absolute force to
the male figure
"Do you mean to say you can make
my dress fit by simply measuring my
neck.
81 do, if l see you"
"And if you don't see me ?''
'Then | must know the measure of
your neck, the measure of your waist,
and which toe is longest"
Dear me Why do you want to know
which toe is longest?"
eff your big toe is longest your shoul-
ders are square. If your second toe is
longest your shoulders are dropped, and
the waist is correspondingly shorter
Dropping shoulders are those that slope
from the neck outward-not stopped
shoulders"
'Has your system any connection
with the theory of twice around the
wrist is once around the neck, etc. ?'
"Not at all. This is fallacy. It will
not work out. 1t is impossible to meas
ure the human form with tape line.
You simply cannot measure the back to
save your life. But my system does it,
and can make lady's dress and never
see her, by simply having the measure
ments that have named.-44tlanta Con,

Women who Detest Marriage.

Men marry the rattlebrains of society
They choose the pretty good-for- moth
ing girls, for that is the kind they like !;
they run after and marry the liveliest
girls at picnic or ball, though they may
be "holy terrors'' at home they rush
after the belle and the heiress, though
she may be selfish, spoiled and silly;
they pass by the jewels and take ''the
snide," for that is all they know, and
then, like Adam, they attribute the fruits
of their own folly to the woman. Twas
ever thus. But, brcthren-we wish to
break it to you gently-there are women
right here at home who have their mon
ey to spend as they please, who have
their own pleasant homes and congenial
occupations, who can, if the fancy seizes
them, pack their trunks and take jaunt
to New Orleans, slip off to Washington
for few weeks, take in the cream of
New York, or the balmy airs of Florida;
in short, have a royal time in any way
they choose, who call no man master,
and who "wouldn't marry the best man
that ever stepped into shoe leather"
This will shock you, beloved brethren,
but it is none the less true. Women find
pleasure, comfort and happiness outside
of matrimony. 1t is not fiattering to
men, but there is a growing disinclina-
ton to marriage among women. They
are growing more critical as to the meas
ure of man. He will have to come up
to a nobler, higher standard, or, in the
poetical parlance of the day, he will get

Anything that makes the human heart
warmer, anything that makes the cur
rent of affection run fuller, anything that
makes gratitude and love and honor and
truth and faith stronger, makes the man
stronger.

THE COMET.
Thomas a. MemdrIclss.

Vice President Hendricks died very
suddenly at his home at Indianapolis
yesterday evening, and this day Of ma
tional thanksgiving is turnad to day
Of national mourning. Mr. Hendricks
was sixty'six years old and has been
prominently idcntifi dwith thepolitics
ofthis country for forty years. Nature
had endowed him with the elements Of
true orator, and he was convincing
and captivating speaker. His long
public career is studded with evidences
OF his great ability, his singularly pure
devotion to duty and his lofty patriot
ism. In all his political contests he
came out with no stain upon his goot
name. Few public men lived so pure
Il life. In his sudden death the coun
try has suffered an irreparable loss
and the close OF the century will no
see his like again, Sleep on grand
