COMMENTS,

The object of this circular is to bring
this important matter dire city to the at
tention Of the entire state, and especially
members of our noble order.
This is certainly one among the grand
est enterprises insugurAted oy the
Grange, and with the cooperation OF
members Of the order, its success Is
assured.
Permit me then to,furgei upon eaoh
Grange, each cooperative association, TO
subscribe for IS many shares IS posssole.
I also urge upon each Individual memeer
20 subscribe literally for this stock. Y
is especially desired to heve 80 many In
terested in the enterprise as possible. 1t
will be noticed also th6t provision has
been made by which non-patrons can be-
come stockholders. This will stford OPP
portunity to farmers not members OF the
order, as well as to others OF Its we'll
wishers to help in the grand work.
1t Will be noticed that the terms OF pay
ment are made very essy.
TOTS enterprise ought to prove one OF
the best educators ever introduced into
the order. 1t ought to sdd great interest
to the Grange Cause, and infuse new lie
into every subordinate Grange in Texas.
Now, do not conclude that tie enter
prise does not need your help. 1t needs
the Endorsement, the help, the subscrip-
ton of every subordinate grange; OF each
CO operative association; OF every indl-
vidual member of the order-ss well as
that Of every farmer and every friend Of
farmers in Texas.
Permit me to urge immediate action.
There is no time for delay as it Is desired
if possible to have our first sssemblage
during 1888.
Fun out the blanks sent you, following
instructions TO the letter.

FOR THE LADIES.
Matters Grave and Gay in Which Our
Fair Readers Take an Especial
Interest.
A Couple OF Columns Prepared Solely
for Their Instruction and
Edificati0n.

Fashion is subject ever new. No
season is without its novelty. The
newness Of the present spring has been
sedately and thoroughly described in
this correspondence. Now let us de-
vote a paragraph or two to a feature
with nonsense in il. IL is a freak of
juvenile feminine fancy to combine
Embarrassing and perfumery. This
portrait of "a daisy" is drawn with
careful accuracy as to the arrange
ment of the hair. That is the daisy
couture. There is good deal of frizzle
entirely covering the forehead and en-
croaching upon the cheeks, while a
bunch of equally fluffy hair hangs
down behind. The name given to this
style is meant, / suppose, to indicate
guileless youth in the wearer. Any
how, it is mode as becoming TO youth
full and pretty faces as it is unfit for
old or ugly ones. Now, the peculiarly
of the matter is that the girl who fixes
her hair in that manner must, If she
would be quite correct, perfume it
literally with what is accepted as a
daisy scent. The flower itself is almost
devoid of smell, but an artificial per-
fume answers the purpose well enough
to suit the whimsical damsels. In those
portions of society whore extreme
nicely of taste is affected, the daisy
hair and the daisy scent invariably &C
company each other.
1t is always lady's fancy and priv
ilege to have some sweet scent about
her. In the days of our grandmothers
lavender was scattered through the
linen-press, and chests of clothes had
little bags of sweet herbs. sweet clover
scented the handkerchiefs, and there
was dainty odor clinging to every
thing pertaining to the lady's ward
robe. To-day perfumes are used in
even more forms and in all imaginab. 9

The Character of Catherine.

Full of whims, of good-humor, can
dor, courage, vanity, and ambition !;
brainy and muscular, she had no gen.
cral who better understood the science
of war, or could lead an army in battle
with greater personal courage; nor had
she statesman in her cabinet or a dip
lomatist in her service who could match
her in craft or political wisdom. There
was no philosopher in Europe with
whom she corld not converse on the
profoundest questions as an equal, or a
wit whose epigrams she could not sur
pass. In the kremlin at Moscow is the
skin of the horse she rode in battle,
stuffed, and carrying the saddle on
which she rode astride. Her sword is
there-as heavy as a strong man would
caro- to handle-and her reyolvers with
which she killed a number of enemies
and mutinous Subjects her uniform, of
the most gorgeous fabrics, set with
priceless Jewels; her tent, made of the
furs of wild beasts. and her camp bed
stead Of iron, in which she many time
slept for weeks together in the SHOWS
of the steppes, while in the imperial
library at Petersburg are her state
papers, her poems and satires, with
which in hours of peace she used TO
amuse herself and entertain her court.
There have been wickoder women than

floral Pompadour poplinettes. The
front is draped with fine Edelweiss
lace, with white designs upon a coffee
foundation. This lace forms kind of
apron front, crossed at the waist by
Directoire sash of coffee-colored MORE
ribbons, tied with full bows and long
flowing ends.
In fabrics, wool takes the lead de-
cidedly. There is plenty of silk, of
course, in a multiplicity of styles, but
the best of the costumes, especially
those designed for the street, are made
of wool. Promenade toilets of ladies'
cloth, if made to fit well, impart
more distinguished air to the wearer
than anything that can be devised in
smooth silk, velvet, or plush, no mat
ter how much more expensive those
materials may be. In the matter of
color, silver-gray seems to be ahead for
street wear. An expert tells me that
the preference for this hue comes from
London, and was started by the silver
wedding of the Prince and Princess of
Wales, where silver-gray was worn al
most exclusively. But there is nothing
undemocratic in the quiet shade, and
many of the most popular costumes in
silver-gray are handsomely trimmed
with silver braid and beads. When
the suit is snugly fitted by skillful
tailor, the elaborate pattern In braid
and beads have look of tattoo work,
so smooth and fine are the patterns

illustrating the life and industrial ac-
tivity of this remarkable man. Here
are the lathes and instruments for
carving he used, his carpenter tools,
his telescopes, which he made himself,
and various mathematical and astro-
nomical apparatus, which were con-
structed by his own hands, either from
models he had seen in England or Hol-
land, or on original designs. Numerous
specimens of his handicraft are scat
tered about the room, some beautiful
desks, sideboards, cabinets and ia
bles, heavily and handsomely carved
with his hands, and the tools with
which he did the work are beside
them. Here also are his canes and
swords, many of them loaded with
jewels; but the most interesting of all
is the staff of solid iron which he used
to carry when he went about the city
alone at night, and with which ira
dition saws he beat to death many a
poor subject who offended him.
\ list of IN, relics of Peter in this
room and the galleries adjoining would
fill several columns. Passing into the
next gallery one finds chaos of gems
in all sorts of forms and settings, sig
nifying the luxurious splendor of the
Russian courts in the past, ornaments
for the persons of the sovereigns and
their mobiles - snuff-boxes that are
worth thousands OF dollars, fans
that even surpass them in value, a per-
feet wilderness of diamonds, rubies,
emer Ids, and precious stones OF every
sort that the world values, set in
various forms for various uses.
Most of these were gifts TO Peter the
Great, Catherine, and other rulers,
for although Peter was most abstemi-
GUS in his personal habits, and never
wore any personal decorations, he was
quite as fond of receiving presents as
Catherine, and many of the first fami-
lilies of Russia impoverished them
selves that they might win the favor
of the monarchs. The results are
here.

Catherine was one of the vainest,
most extravagant, most licentious of
women, without a doubt. She had
forty lovers with whom she lived as
publicly as if the relations had been
sanctioned by marriage, had children
by seventeen of them as she herself
claimed, and founded an order of no.

that she built, at the government ex-

than a dozen palaces, and distributed
among them 90, 000,000 rubles of pub
lie funds. When one of her paramours
died, as was several times the case, she
went into mourning for him, and gave

The Hermitage, as it is called, al
though the name is a misnomer, was
the palace of Catherine, at least it was
Petersburg. She had dozen other
palaces scattered about 1t adjoins
the Winter Palace, being connected to
that building by corridors, and is by
far the handsomest piece of architecture
in the capital except thee athedral of
ST. Isaac. 1t is one Of the few struc-
lures of stone, is beautifully carved
externally, and internally finished with
great extravaganza and better taste
than most of the Russian palaces.
Catherine called it "rhe Hermitage, !"
for it was here that she used to retire
from the cares OF state, and give her
self up to ease and pleasure. Here
she entertained the greatest men in
Europe, poets, philosophers, travellers,
and statesmen; gave informal dinner
parties and balls; not as an empress,
but as a society queen; here she had a
little theater in which were given plays
of her own composition, acted by the
fadies and gentlemen of her court
poets came here to read their verses,
artists to show their paintings, and if
the walls of the beautiful structure
could talk, they might tell tales that
would astonish the world, fo1 there
were routs here, it is whispered, that
would shock the moral nerves of the
universe, for Catherine never had
things half done. The Hermitage was
to her what Sans Souci was to Fred
erick the Great, and the palace of the
Trianon to Louis of France.
