Another wonderful discovery has
been made and that too by lady in
this country. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its severest tests, but
her vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed necessarily and
could not sleep. She bought of us q
bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption and was SO much re
lieved on taking the frstdose that she
slept all night and with one bottle has
been miracnlously cured. Her name
is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus write w.

Col, Tngersoll's reply to Mr. Glad
stone, in the North american Review
for June, contains this eloquent pass
sage;
1.-THE dark continent Of motive and
desire has never been explored. In
the brain, that wondrous world with
one inhabitant, there are recesses dim
and dark, tIeaeherous sands and dan
gerous shores, where seeming sirens
tempt and fade streams that rise in
unknown lands from hidden springs,
strange seas with ebb and flow Of tides,
resistless billows urged by storms Of
fame, profound and awful depths
hidden mist or dreams, obscure and
phantom realms where vague and fear
ful things are half revealed, jungles
where passions tigers crouch and
skies of cloud and blue where passions
fly with painted wings that dazzle and
mislead and the poor sovereign OF
this pictured world is led by old de-
sires and ancient hates, and stained
by crimes OF many vanished years, and
pnshed by hands that long ago were
dust, until he feels like some bewilder-
ed slave that Mockery has throned
and crowned.
He concludes his article with this
glowing eulogium to science:
Science is the enemy Of fear and
credulity. In invites investigation,
challenges reason, stimulates inquiry
and welcomes the unbeliever. 1t seeks
to give food and shelter, and raimenr,
education and liberty to the human
race. 1t welcomes every fact and ev.

ton for morals, philosophy for the
guidance of man. From all books il
selects the good, and from all theo.
ries the true. Itseeks to civilize the
human race by the cultivation of the
intellect and heart. 1t refnes thorough
art, music and the drama, giving
voice and expression to ever noble
thought. The mysterious does not
excite the feeling Of worship, but the
ambition to understand. It does not
pray, it works. 1t does not answer in.

CLEVELAND TALKS.
Policy Of the Administration and Pros
poets For Re. Election.

WASHINGTON d, c., June, 16-A
New York Democrat, who represents
this country at n European Court, and
who is personal friend OF the. Presi-
dent, had lengthy interview with
Mr.. Cleveland last Friday. The con-
versatiOn was unreserved as to the
policy OF the Administration and the
prospects for reelection. An Equirer
representative was enabled to gather
from the reticent Minister few OF
The topics discussed in the informal
talk. The President expressed him
self as entirely pleased with the atti-
tude Of the Democratic party upon the
tariff question. He maintains that
the canvass before the people will
show that the Democrats have the
popular side. "The country will not
much longer endure an excessive
system OF taxation" said the Presi-
dent. "that creates such dangerous
surplus in the Treasury, and the good
sense OF the people demands that tax
ps upon necessities shall be the first
to be reduced. The republicans, fore.
ed to do something, may seek to abol-
ish the internal revenue taxes, but the
people will emphatically declare for
cheaper clothing than cheaper whis-

gratitude upod their part. He recall
ed with considerable feeling the fierce
opposition he encountered in the first
wears OF his Administration because OF
his determined efforts to preserve
with the strictest fidelity the pledges
OF his letter OF acceptance for the
reform Of the Civil Service. He then
stood almost alone, and bore with pa
t.ence the odium of his policy from his
own party and the encouragement
Of lifelong friends, that was the con-
sequence of his position.
And" added Mr.. Cleveland, "de-
spite the storm of protest and first
great wave Of opposition that almost
swept over me, / held firmly to my
pledges. The law has been executed,
as is already evidenced now after
nearly four years OF severe trial in all
departments of the Government. I'M

The aristocracy OF idleness has per
ished from the earth.
~ see world without slave. Man
at last is free. Natures forces have
by science been enslaved. Lightning
and light, wind and wave, frost and
flame, and all the secret subtitle powers
of earth and air, are the tireless toilers
for the human race.
81 see a world at peace, adorned
with every art, with music's myraid
voices thrilled, while lips are rich
with words OF love and truth world
in which no exile sighs, no prisoner
mourns; where work and worth go
hand in hand; where the girl trying
to win bread with the needle-the
needle that has been called the asp for
the breast of the poor'-is not
driven to the desperate choice of
crime or death, OF suicide or shame.
81 see world without the beggar's
outstretched palm, the miser's heart
less, stony stare, the piteous wall Of
want, the livid lips Of lies, the cruel
eyes Of scorn. l see a race without Q
disease of flesh or brain, shapely and
fair, the married harmony OF form and
function, and as look, life lengthens,
joy deepens, love canopies the earth
and over all, in the great dome, shines
the eternal star OF human hope"

Fashions and Fancies.

Flowered silk muslins are decidedly
a novelty, and no more charming
dress for the summer can be imagined
than Of artistic gossamer fabrics
Pompadour gauze is the name for such
exquisite designso OF all sorts of brilliant
flowers that they seem like paintings
on Opaque rice paper. Plain silk pet
ticoats are worn under these fiowered
overdresses.
Very beautiful are some OF the slip
covers for all sorts of small pieces OF
rare furniture. These are made Of
pieces of net lace outlined in color
and gold thread. A lace rufile finish
es a lovely dainty chair or pillow cover
which looks summerish and cool.
Linen embroidered in fiIosselle is also
charming slip cover and has the ad-
vantage Of being easily lsundered.
The directoire coat is a model for
the overdress OF street costumes and
buttons over vest which is seen be-
low the waist line OF the coat. Long
sides and a slit to allow for the full
ness of the petticoat to hang loosely,
leave only the front of the petticoat
in view. It's too severely plain in it's
lines for any but those OF very grace
ful figure, and is not very beautiful
even then.
A pretty fashion is now resuscitated
which was very popular twenty-five
or thirty years ago and continued for
several seasons. This was the short
silk petticoat fiounced to the hips with
pinked fiounces, over which was worn
the velvet tuniG, fastened with triple
gilt buttons. The velvet tunic may
be OF the dominent shade in the dress
or in black velvet. 1t is cut with a
long point front and back stifiy
whale-boned.
The violet shade OF this season are
more delicate than the heliotropes oil
last season, and more becomig for be-
ing less dense. In India silks challis
and surahs, as we'll as in crapelines
and China grapes, these faint shades Of
violet are exceedingly pretty for
young girls class day costumes
Combined with white, they are very
delicate and pretty. In some French
costumes one may see green in GER
tain vivid shades combined with deli
cate shades otviolet.
Green and white is seen in some
street costumes in combination
which might seem conspicuous were
it not the mode of the moment. The
under skirt Of very stylish Paris mod
ell was of white llama cloth with 0
band of gold braiding half yard wide
encircling the skirt. The overdresi
