Boots Coming in Again.

1t is tradition of Beau Brummcl
that after his falling out with the
Prince of Wales (afterward George
IV.) he Dragged among his acquaint-
ances that he would .sbring the old
king into fashion," The old king was
half insane and the last object in Lon
don to become fashionable. But Beau
Brummel was king sitting upon a
more autocratic throne than that of
George III. and his heir. Whether
Beau Brummel ever carried out his
threat to make the crazy king crowd
out his son as ''the. fashion" is not a
matter of history.
But the story serves to illustrate the
return of q fashion. Years ago men
wore boots. Recently they have worn
shoes of various heights up tho ankle,
as to style. In the old time boots
were worn outside of the trowser-leg
in bad weather and inside in fair
weather. At the present time the
trowser-legs come down and cover the
top of the shoe, and, as to the mud, it
is withzthe trowsers q matter of ''catch
as catch cam"
Good authority says that boots are
again to be the fashion, at least for
winter use. This change is in the in
terest of good health. The rule. of
hygiene is to keep the head cool and
the feet warm. Boots cover not only
the feet but tho ankles and the lower
leg, and hence fight off rheumatism
that delights in attacking those parts.
Wooden stockings are possibly too heat
ing and make the feet perspire. With
pair of good boots cashmere socks
are better. The sole of winter boot
should be thick, but, being thick, it
isn't necessary that it should be heavy.
Cork soles are excellent, and they
make light-weighted boot, while pro-
teeting the foot from the wet. A pair
of morocco boot-tops will last many
years, and can be repeatedly re-
footed. By such economies as these
boots eventually cost as little as shoes.
There is also the question of art and
grace in leg-wear. Boot legs fill out
the calf. They should be as snug as
possible, giving the feet room to enter.
The trowser-legs then fit better, and
the wearer does not go around with
the extremities of his cloth tapping
against his ankles.
Good boots, with thick soles Gnclud-
ing India rubber taps), obviate
the necessity for ''galoches." They
are, if well made and if they fit well,
neat, artistic in appearance. and con-
ducc to health and comfort. - Chicago

LACK OF BUSINESS TACT IN FARMING.
Lack of business tact and failure to
employ business principles in farming
operations and in buying and selling
are frequent causes of failure. Many
personsconduct farming in a very loose
sort of way. They never take an in
ventory of what they have, no ac-
counts. 1t would be difficult for many
to ascertain whether they are richer
or poorer than they were year ago.
They-do not know whether they were
gamers or losers by raising a certain
crop or by feeding lot Of animals.
They can not tell whether their COWS
are sources of profit or of loss. Several
horses may ''eat their heads OF"
before their owner makes the dis
covcry. They are generally ignorant
about the amount of their. indebted
ness or the times when their obliga-
tions are due. They have many run
ming accounts, and they would con-
tinue TO run indefinitely iftraders and
mechanics did not suggest a stop.
They fall into the habit of buying
goods on credit. and they never make
an effort to get out of it. They do not
put themselves in the way of learning
how much better they can do with
ready money than with promises to
pay at an indefinite time. as after
harvest or when the cattle and hogs
are disposed OF. They seem to think
that credit is better than capital, as it
is not taxed.
Many have noticed that town nler-
chants and manufacturers generally
succeed in farming. though they are

According to the republican organs, the
harmony existing among the democrats OF
New York is of the Kilkenny cat kind.
They say that President Cleveland and
Gov. Hill, who we're supposed to be on
very good terms, have been making faces
at each other all the time, aud the one is
ready at the first opportunity to knife the
other. Mayer Hewitt, we are also
told is Mr. Clevelands implac-
able foe. and will not hesitate
to put in a little secret work against him.
Ex-Mayor Grace proposes to see that Gov.
Hill is not renominated or, failing in that,
that he is not reelected, and he is to have
the aid of several influential newspapers III
New York which support the democratic
party on national issues. The democrats
of New York city are not satisfied with
District Attorney Fellows official conduct,
ana are going to show their dissatisfaction
in some way or other-it is not stated how,
but evidently the democratic party will be
made to suffer very greatly Oh this account.
In addition to these things, the exploded
story about discussions in the democratic
national committee is worked for all it is
worth.
Fortunately, however, there is no neces-
sity for depending upon the republicans for
information in these matters. The national
campaign, on the part Of the democrats, is
in the hands of capable members OF that
party, who are working tremendously,
and vino report that the prospects of sue
cess are excellent. Gov. Hill, no doubt,
will be renominated, and his reelection is
not dependent upon the mugmump vote.
The democrats are not likely to suffer any
more than usual on account of municipal
politics in New York city. tft'st
Are the republicans reitera tingold stories
and trumping up new ones in order todivert
public attention from their own dem 8fbffza-
tion il national politics. Perhaps that is
the solution of the matter 1t is certain
thai they are not moving on very smoothly.
Their platform is not satisfactory to many
of the parry and their candidates are not
popular with Others. They don't know
whether to pass a tariff Jill in the senate or
not, and altogether their affairs appear to
be rather unsatisfactory In this condition
of affairs, they put Oh bold face, and
charge that there is but little harmony
among the democrats. Their plan for con-
cealing their own condition is not new
one, and will not be effective.

The story OF the phantom horseman was al.

the celebrated raiders. Jesse, however, had n
stron. vein Of superstition in his composition
and firmly believed that the phantom horse NJ IN
was his own peculiar bGnShee. He frequently
asserted that I. e appearance OF the apparition
was intended as a warning or foreboded evil.
The first time Frank James saw the apparition
was one night when he jesse AVID several other
members of the outlawed night riders were

emerged from the heavy shadow of the trees,
where two roads met, they came upon an open
