When the long, lank country boy, with to-

lofty distain which eminent artists some
times assume, arises from his red carpet

silently says: "Ill get fifty cents out OF

Each victims picture is taken in o

in yellowish way on a broad piece OF TIN.
Just as soon as the camera winks ana

HEAVENS DIMENSIONS,

Citations:
''And he measured the city with a
reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The
length and the breadth and the height
of it are equal"
Twelve thousand furlongs equal
100000 feet, which, being cubed, is

NEW CHEMlSETTES.
Stylish Neck-Wear for the Last Weeks of
the Summer Season.

Stylish Neck-Wear for the Last Weeks of
the Summer Season.
New chemisettes are made wider,
and so long that they almost form
vests. A novelty pretty for summer is
the wide turned-over collar seen on
plated linen and percale vests. This
collar is in the Byron shape, and the
chemisette has tucks or stripes made
to meet in points in the middle. These
are so long that they have tapes at the
end, and an nder-handkerchief at the
back of the same length to meet belt
or wide tape around the waist.
Canvas and Grape chemisettes for
dressy wool gowns are made with the
new wide collar and deep cuffs that
turn up outside the sleeves. A row of
feather stitching is on the hem of the
collar and cuffs, and down each side of
the box plaits in the middle of the
chemisette; narrow plaits are on each
side of this box plat. A pretty fash
ion is that of working button-hole
each side of the collar and tying rib
bon bow in it, making long loops that
stand out each side. Two smaller
bows are passed through button-holes
in each cuff.
Aprons, over-skirts, chemisettes and
mantles have lengthwise tucks run in
them, through which ribbon is drawn
and arranged in loops at the end.
Standing collars are made of folds
of silk muslin or of point d'esprit, and
have ribbon only a fourth of an inch
wide passed through them and tied in
tiny bows in front. Sometimes five of
these bows are in front of one collar.
The sleeves have two puffs of the ma
terial of the collar drawn up by pass
ing the ribbon through them and tying
bows on the inside seam. The collars
just described have guimpes attached,
and the putfs give the effect of under
sleeves.
White null and surah chemisettes
have a standing collar of folds that
fastens behind, and the front is pressed
IN lengthwise plaits turned toward the
middle from each side. Pique chemi-
settles for travelling dresses have cords
laced across the front between buttons
Very fine French percale chemisettes
have the collar and tiny throat bow
ornamented with drawn-work, and
there are white linen sets similarly
made with pink, blue or black bor-
ders attached by herring bone or lad
der stitching.
The wide null scarfs or cravats with
drawn-work or embroidery across the
ends are again worn with summer
dresses.-Harper's Bazar.

The Good Old Days When Every Body
Wore Long and Nicely Curled Hair.
81 learned my trade forty years ago
in Boston, said a leading barber to
me the other day, as he trimmed my
hair, land it is surprising how long
fashion in hair or whiskers will last.
Ten years is about as long as fashion
in coats can live, but in my business
style of hair or whiskers will last two
or three times as long. Take mus
taches, for instance. They came in
about twenty-five years ago. / can re-
member very well when a mustache
was regarded as the badge of "a fob, an
idiot or gambler. 1t was as much as
mans reputation was worth to let
the hair grow on his upper lip. But
now every body wears them, and I am
afraid will not live long enough to
see them out. Any thing to beat the
BARRIERS, you see. On the other hand
there is short hair. About the time
mustaches came In long hair went out.
In those days every body wore long
hair, and what is more, they curled it.
Yes, sir, | used to keep my curling
irons always around, and it was just as
common with men as it is with women
to have their hair curled. The fashion
of clipping the hair short except on
top of the head, called the pompadour.
is only about ten years old, though the
clippers were invented three years
earlier. The scheme of brushing hair
by steam started about twenty-five
years ago, and was given up about ten
years ago on account of the numerous
accidental injuries inflicted on the Gus
toners, - Chicago Journal.

A murmur Of sorrow. and grief, and despair
Among the nop-vines, as they Trembled with

For they knew they were doomed to make ale

And they mourned that in all their beauty and

They must be on the brewers and drunkards'

Once more: The census report be.
fore mentioned gives the total annual
value of the farm products of the
United States as 81, AL, 53S, 658. The
entire product of all the farms of the
country, therefore, in one year, would
be taken to make fund which. put on
interest at 3 per cent would produce
interest enough to care for this class of
our population.
The total valuation of all the taxable
property of the State of Ohio-both
real estate and personal property-for
the year 1888 was 81, 673, 265, 81.
Hence, if the taxable property of the
entire State were made the principal
of fund, bearing three per cent inter-
est it would not bring in enough to
support the criminal and dependent
wards of the people IN the whole
United States. 1t would have 10 be
increased over one-half by about
$500, 900, 000-to bring a sufficiently
large return.
These calculations are astounding,
but they are nevertheless true. The in
direct burden of the rum traffic is APP
palling. The direct burden is greater
yet. Both are increasing, and increas-
ing at a more rapid rate than the pop
ulation of the country. Is it not time
to call a halt? Is it not time to set
bounds to this Toledo Blade.

HE DID HIS DUTY.
A Hero in the Cause Who Was Never
Afraid to Express His Convictions.

A Hero in the Cause Who Was Never
Afraid to Express His Convictions.
In an address at Reading, Pa, re-
Gently, Ex-Governor Curtin humorous
ly said: "Who ever knew an old
soldier to refuse commissary whisky"
To his surprise tall, gray-bearded
man arose and answered: Here's
one" The Governor was not so much
surprised but that he could exclaim:
''Then you must have been as dry as a
craven image" The old soldier who
was not afraid to make known his
Temperance principles is William FL.
X. Bush, of Reading. He served as
sergeant four years in the war, and
was in twenty-five battles. He was a
Temperance man first, last and all the
time. He organized Temperance So
ciety of twenty-eight members in his
company, but after he returned from
the two-months' Imprisonment at
Belle Isle he found that all but four
had broken the pledge. He at once
reorganized the society and built it up
to siXty-eight members. Once there
came an order Shat every soldier should
have two doses of quinine in whisky
every day. Sergeant Bush marched
his company up to the surgeons tent
at ''sick CALL" and the surgeon said:
''Pour out a big one for the sergeant"
But the sergeant answered.: 81 swore
allegiance to Uncle Sam to fight, but
not to drink whisky" The surgeon
was inclined to make fuss, but the
Colonel backed up the sergeant and
others of his company who refused the
whisky. "When the Governor asked
that question:" said MIR. Bush, II
thought it my duty to stand up, and
up l went."-M Y Sun.

Care of Farm Tools.

As soon as harvesting is over all the
machines should be cleaned up and put
in perfect order and carefully stored.
1t is much easier to remember then If
there is bolt, nut or screw gone, or any
little repair needed than it will be
next season before they are wanted.
If the woodwork is given coat of
paint and the iron work cleaned and
oiled, or covered with coating of tai
low and resin melted together, they
will last much longer. When costly
machines are left out of doors for
weeks at a time they are rusting out
much faster than they would wear out
while in use.-M T. Hersld.
