IL have only an allowance Of S10a week

millionaire In n confidential moment the

amount on candies, flowers, novels and

To many a young girl $40 a week would
seem sufficient for pocket. money, and in
deed. how many hundreds Of pretty and
clever girls are there who cannot earn
more than that amount even by working
hard each day Of the weekf But the
average fashionable society girl has 80

not go far.
1t Is said that Jay Gould very gener.

Cornelius Vanderbilt and Elliott F
Shepard allow each of their six children a
certain amount Of pocket money each

accounts and present them to their papas

not large, and are given more to make the
little ~millionaires understand the value of
money than aught else.

AGAIN

The feeling that an era of prosperity is
dawning on the sa'tle business is now well
settled in all circles where the subject is
intelllgently examined. The Omaha Her.
all hits the nail on the head when it says:
The stockgrowers of the West have
passed the rocky road of hard times. For
three seasons they have been harrassed by
hare winters and low prices. Their di-
minished herds barely paid expenses. The
succession of severe losses wrecked scores
of large aud small dealers, scattered large
herds, and drove hundreds OF men, dis
eouraged and financially ruined, out of
the business. They sold out at a loss by
rushing the stock in poor condition to
market.
The men who withstood the storm and
stuck TO their herds are now realizing on
their foresight aud grit. A favorable
winter on the ranges, followed by a rising
market, increased demand and limited
supply, combined to compensate the
s.ockmen for the losses and hardships OF
three winters. The prices of prime stock
in Omaha and Chicago range from 81 to
81 Is higher than the prices Of a year
ago. These prices will materially
strengthen confidence in stock raising as a
profitable Investment. But the days OF
unlimited range are past and the business
must henceforth be carried on in con
formity with altered conditions. The fab
ulous profits of the seventies must not be
hoped for again. The business is down
to a basis of moderate returns.

gized the Administration Of President Clevc-
land as having triumphantly justified his cleo
ton. The Democracy now stood on the edge
of another and perhaps greater contest with q
relation to the electors not held before for q
generation--that Of responsibility for the great
trust OF Government no longer critics. but crit
icised. They were confronted by q willy, un-
scrupuious and desr crate foe. There would be
no blot on the record that would not be magni-
fed into a blot, no circumstances not tortured
and nisrepresented, no disappointment not ex.
aggerated into a revolt, no class or creed II
would not be sought to inflnme, no passion not
attempted to rouse, no fraud that would net be
willingly pcrpetrated.
But the appeal OF the Democratic party ia not
to passion or TO prejudice. to class or faction or
race or creed, but TO the sound common sense,
the interest, the intelligence and patriotism OF
the American people. Upon their matchless
record for the last four years and upon their
earnest efforts, as yet incomplete, to reduce and
equalize the burdens of taxation, the Demo.
Gratis enter the canvass. General Collins closed
by appealing to tho patriotic independent cit.

sustained the Administration, to remember that

tion by which great reforms have been achieved,
and risk them in the hands OF their known I'D
versarles. The Democratic temple is open to
all; and II in council they could not agree In oil
things, their motto nevertheless was: "1n es
scntials, unity; in nonessentials, liberty; In oil
things, charity"
At the conclusion of his speech. Mr.. Collins
was again roundly and warmly greeted. The
gentlemen selected to represent the various
States as Vice-Presidcnts then proceeded II

When Turk dies. the relatives are

sional dresser of the dead is sent for,

wrapped in winding-sheet. outside
of which the clothes of the person are
placed. Then a very frail wicker or
thin board coffin is brought, and into
this the body is laid. and sometimes
even before it is fairly cold it is car
ried to the cemetery and buried. The
graves are very shallow. not over two
feet deep. A coin is put into the mouth
of the dead person to pay his passage
across the "river of death" The rea-
son of the frail collins and the shallow
grave is that the body may decay more
