The EARLY Spring Goods.

The earliest importations tre the
cotton goods, which wise women, says
fashion writer in the New York star,
purchase while they have their choice
of patterns, and make up to be ready
for the warm mornings that usually
come during the spring, Some of the
sateens are soft and lovely as China
silk in feeling and appearance, and the
flowers that are stamped upon them
look rs If painted. These are bouquets
of medium size, scattered upon u
ground of delicate shade. that is either
plain or brocaded. A design that will
be even more popular has very fine
flowers, so artistic in coloring that they
remind us of the beautiful Carlsbad
china with which we decorate our
cabinets and dinner tables. These cot
ton gowns can be made very attractive
with trimmings of lace and contrasting
ribbons. But few combinations are
used In these goods, and robes do not
promise to be popular. A pretty one
is in dark blue, stamped with wheat,
the border being of wheat in larger
pattern. The dark sateens have fig
ures in embroidery patterns. A very
odd design Is called the devils fork, "
and is in red, blue and yellow, on q
maroon or brown ground. In silk
goods rise in price is predicted, Tri-
cotrin wears well being already shiny,
and not mussing easily. In good
quality, 1t makes useful and ineXpen
sive gown, and looks well with the silk
jerseys that in perfect shape retain
popularity. This is .he season to find
bargains in underwear in cheap grades.
Those of China silk, lace trimmed, al
ways hold their price.

QUEER ADVICE.
An Ola Physician Says Drink You
Whiskey Straight.

An ola Physician Says DRINK Your
Whiskey Straight.
10 tie Edit0r: In several of your re.
cent issues ! have observed the articles
of whiskey concern in Baltimore,
Nd, which, while written from an in.
tercsted motive, contain some very SEN
sible statements, especially their re-
marks about so.callcd bittcrs, cough
syrups, cod-livcr oil, etc. Now, while
/ do not agree with these in some re-
spects, still, as to the three mixtures
above mentioned, no truer words could
have been spoken. Every day in my
practice I come across people whose
maladics are traceable direct to these
noxious compounds. Take, for in
stance, the widely advertised "bitters"
of to-day. In nine cases out of ten
they consist of 30 per cent. Uhe
amount the Government allows of
what Is called commercial alcohol"
that is, an alcohol of the vilest and
most poisonous grade, such as is used
by plumbers in their lamps, or, in
other words, the dregs of the different
distillations. The remaining ingredi
ents consist of various foreign sub
stances added as favoring extracts.
These dccoctions are consumed prin-
cipally by the consumptive, the
debilitated, the convalcscent and
Others of weak stomachs, to whom q
siimulant is indispensable, and which
iIritate and iniure the delicate mem
branes of the stomach. Now, while
alcohol, especially in the form of
whiskey, is the best known stimulant
and is prescribed daily by the profes
sion everywhere, and while whisley
and glycerine are the best things for
coughs, i cannot conceive why people
will insist upon taking this alcohol in
the form of a decoction or nostrum.
1t would be far better if they would
take il straight" as in that form, as
these articles state, 1t passes into the
blood vessels direct without digestive
effort on the part of the stomach aud
| affords more nutriment than any other
known substance.
If the concern in Baltimore have
| discovered means of distilling an ar.
ticle Of the kind they claim-that is, a
whiskey absolutely pure and free from

Public Men and Labor.

Mr.. Platt, United States senator from
Connecticut, made q remark in respond
ing to questions addressed TO him ~
the principal representatives OF or
gained labor in his State which, de-
serves few words of comment. La his
reply to their interrogatiyes ne added
very pertinently: do not too hastily
conclude that ali public men are your
enemies. You make 1t hard 70 serve
you wien you place us al under su5-
picion.n The honest wage earnsrs are
the men from whom our soldiers III
time OF war, and our constables ID CINE
of peace, are largely drawn. They pay
more than their proportion OF taxes.
Few things they use and consume sl Y eff.
cape the operations Of tariff or internal
revenue laws. They cannot eyade taxa
ton, for they are not able, like the rich,
TO put their cash into exempted bonds,
and so avoid the fiscal burden.
1t is quite the fashion to sneer at the
working poor who own no dwellings as
the atax eaters" OF our inunici pailties,
when little examination will establigfa
as a fact beyond controversy that the
poorer people are those who i, any
| community bear, in rent, the largest
| proportion Of the civic burdens. ls IL
tany wonder chat as they grow more
acute they grow more restless, and are
Therefore more often suspicious and un

/ Mr.. Platt himself is probably more
free than his csnfreres from the innpli-
cation suggested by his own remark.
Taxing it up, however, IN tie general
sense, there is ID it something for or
ganized labor to think seriously about
