Discarding Skirts for Trousers.

A beautiful belle of Berlin Heights,
Cleveland, is gaining a national reputation
as the leader of select circle OF divinely-
formed ladies who have discarded unwiedly
skirts for trousers, which closely resemble
those of men save that they have rultles at
the bottom A neat.fituing coat is worn
over o corset, reaching about half way to
the knee, that placing the lady behind an
ordinary counter, nothing unusual would be
observed in her dress The idea in this dress
is simply greater freedom of the lower
limbs New Orleans Times-Democrat

Do Not Keen Open Accounts.

There is one danger to which would
like to call the attention OF every young
couple about to begin housekeeping" said
an elderly woman of great good sense, who
has wide and profitable experience in the
affairs of the social community.
What is that?" inquired listener.
- "The practice of running an account at
the store" she replied.
"The housewife should avoid this as she
would serpent She is not usually either
the wage-earner or the paymaster in the
household She gets whaG she wants on
credit, because there is no particular trouble
in getting it She does not appreciate the
size of the bills thus contracted, which grow
with the phenomenal rapidity of q snow.
ball running down hill Spend only what
money you have in hand. Don't buy any
thing on credit. Don't begin housekeeping
on credit basis The wife who buys on the
book is q continual drag upon the energies
of her husband. It is damaging to the peace
of mind of both husband and wife when
the air is full Of the constant echoes OF little
bills forever flying home to .roost Under
such q system of expenditures neither can
properly understand or keep in mind the
limitations of the provender fund, or how
much may have been paid out and how
much have been laid up for emergencies
ut is impossible to get an inch start in
the world by running in debt The best
they can do is to live up to their earnings
By keeping accounts with the butcher and
the green grocer and other tradespeople, a
rich opportunity which they never neglect
is afforded these people to charge high and
excessive prices for what is thus purchased
The storekeeper who disposes Of his mer-
chandise on credit is always obliged to make
good the accounts Of his bad customers by
taking large profits from those of his credit
customers who pay. By buying for cash
you always get things cheaper, and thereby
increase the purchasing power o. your
money, be the amount great or small The
cash buyer is always the preferred Gus
toner.

create and foster wastefulneSs and improvi-
dence. There is no rule in the world like

Doing Away with Abbreviated Names.
The propriety and good taste of doing
away with abbreviated names among
women is fast growing into favor, and the
good old fashion Of giving the full name is
regarded as the correct and dignified thing.
Moliie and Matte and Tillie and Maggie
are again Mary, Martha, Matilda and Mar
garet-stately names, all oe them, and full
Of significance, whereas their diminutiyes
are silly and meaningless, and women are
gradually awakening to the fact that it is
lar more elegant to reserve these pet names,
if they be used at all, for the household and
to sign themselves always in addressing
those outside this little circle with the full
name they received at the baptismal font
In this respect our ancestors showed a
proper amount Of dignity and it would be
we'll now if the old form Of addressing
women as Mistress Ann Page, Mistress
Catherine Smith, etc., were revived The
present custom of retaining the maiden
name as middle name after marriage and
the use Of the husbands Christian name by
widows are both sensible, as they identify
the individual with a certain family.-New

The Bright Girls OF lndia.>
Miss Gardner, retired Indian missionary
for Cawnpore, says:
ut was in 1867 that the first missionary
of the Union Missionary society visited
India Permission was given freely to open
up schools to the boys, but "do not come
near the girls" was heard from the fathers,
brothers AMI husbands Six years ago
there was no enlightenment in Cawnpore
Now there are twenty-five schools Every
girl was married at the age Of IL. Very
poor children were allowed freedom until
after their marriage, then they were SO.

he is quick TO answer, no indeed, that he has

persist that the outside only is cleansed he
drinks of the water, and thus is clean inside
and out ut was easier to teach collectively,
but no easy task to collect school The
weary missionary goes into every house, and
is asked: How much will you give. us to
teach our girlsP They considered them as
stupid as a cat or dog about learning, but

boys, and were usually very bright Those
women are very similar to our women in

News travels fast, and the word is
getting around that we commenced
our holiday presentation of a Water
bury Watch and Chain.
The present is given to every
Cash Purchaser Of Goods Amount
ing to SI2 and Above. Not watch
for every twelve dollars bought
that we could not afford-but with
every purchase exceeding this limit,
whether it be fift:en or fifty dollars.
The cost Of the watches is but a
small percentage on the average
amount of the sales; hence the adj
vertisement is less expensive to us
than at first might appear.
1t will be a pleasure to make
so many boys happy, and a Water
bury is not beneath the notice of any
man not possessed of time piece.
They are first rate watches. If our
prices seem high after you have
bought an article, you know there
is no difficulty about having your
money refunded upon return of the
article, uninjured. That's our way
of guaranteeing our Prices to be as
low as those asked anywhere fol
goods Of equal merit.

Bile, according to Webster, is "a vel
lowish bitter, yiscid nausceous fluid,
secreted by the liver" Whenever the
liver does not act properly this fluid is
retained in the blood and poisons the

is the result. SMITHS BILE BEANS
