this morning for Chicago, to confer
with the managers of the western roads,

A Sau-kle princess there he met.

Whose beauty shamed all maids he yet

Where all things good were wont to dwell,
On young We.no-nah's hcedful ear,
Like soulcnchanting music fell.

With rarcst shells for wampum, found

FASHION NOTES.

The fashions of waists at present suit
slender figures best, and the same is true
of the very bouffant sleeves.
Seamless Oxford ties of kid, with low.
broad heels, and light fxible soles with
square edges, are worn for street shoes.
As carriage-wrap, or elegant dust-pre-
server, glace silk of some light shade of
color is exceedingly pretty and stylish.
Parchment color is new and fashi N
able tint. 1t is neither cream nor iverv
white, but the faded yellowish tint of old
parchment.
Some of the newest French gowns for
summer have the skirt quite short, show.
ing the low shoe in back and front alike
as the wearer moves.
Gloves with kid backs and silk or Llsle
thread inside the palms are a novelty for
summer wear, especially liked in light
colors, such as grey or pearl.
The large wells which hang over the
edge of the hats and are gathered close
under the chin with ribbons, are not popu-
lar for summer wear except for travelling.
The yokes so fashionable for thin goods
are very shallow, not reaching quite to the
armholes on the shoulders, and are round
In back and front instead of being pointed.
Killed skirts and whole gowns of Killed
lace in the piece, creme and black, are
certainly to be mentioned among the
richest toilettes for receptions and for vis-
iting.
Rural hats are almost supernatural in
magnitude; bows and blossoms hold a
perfect saturnalia all over them. Some
are pretty for their very oddity, but the
majority are too heavy looking.
The fashion of high trimming upon the
shoulders is gaining ground. When the
sleeve itself is not pulled out, it is trimmed
with an epaalette of ribbons or of passe-
menterie, or with broad fancy galoon en-
broidered with jet.
A charming tea gown is of soft white
wool goods, with an under-dress of white
merveilleux; and small plastron of pearl
embroidery at the upper part of the bod
ice. The sleeves are bell shape and very
wide and deep, the points touching the
edge Of the gown, with the upper seam cut
open high on the arm, disclosing tight
sleeve of white satin, with pearl embroid-

GRADATIM.

Heaven is not reached st a single bound:
But we build the ladder by which we rise
ON the lowly esIth to the vsulted skies.
And we mount TO its summit round by round.
| count this thi0g 70 be grandly true
That a noble deed is a step toward God.
Lifting the soul irom the common clOd
70 puIer air and q broader view.
We rise by the things that are under leet:
By what we have mastered of good and gain
BY the pride depoSPd and the passion s'sin,
And the ysGquished ills that we hourly meet.
We hope, We aspire, we resolve, we trust.
When the morning calls Us to life aid light,
But our hearts grow weary, and ere The night
Our lives are training the sordid dust.
We hope, we resolve, we aspire. we pray,
and we think that we mount the sir on wings
Beyond the recall of sensual thirgs,
While our feet still cling to the heavy clay.
Wings for the angels, but feet for men
We may borrow the wings to md the way
We mSy hope aud resolve snd aspire and
But our ieet must rise, or we fail again.
Only in dreams is ladder thrown
From the weary arth TO the sapphire walls
Bat the dreams depart and the VI ionstai.s,
And the sleeper wakes on his pillow ofstone.
Feaven is t cached at single bound;
Bet we build the ladder by which we rlsc
From the lowly earth 20 the vanl cd skies.
And we mount to its summit rouad by round.

sorry for. her misfortune in being born
without brains. The country will always
be grateful to this creature for having rid
our land of many poets who essayed to
chant her charms and perished in the
scheme. To cling was the aesthetic girls
best hold, and she clung to life with such
tenacity that long hard blows were piled
by pen and public before she vanished
from the scene.
THE ATHLETIC YOUNG WOMAN.
Something unusually vigorous was
needed to brace up what was left of the
dormant female mind, and it appeared
with the athlete who knocked out all
predecessors in one round. She was nu-
merous. She boxed, rowed, fenced, walked
out of sight and returned on bicycle.
Surf swimming against the tide was pet
pastime. Tennis was too tame and football
came into vogue. She read up favorite race
horses and had their records at her
tongues end. Riding after a pack of
hounds in full yelp was music to her ear.
She learned to handle gun and travelled
on her muscle. Content to copy mems
accomplishments without their vices, she
was startling, hut not coarse-in fact
rather enjoyable. She let out her corset
strings, put on wide shoes, short frocks and
paraded with pride how the sun had burned
her neck while pitching for the Bostonia
metamorphosis from previous conditions,
the athletic girl joined gymnasium and
gradually let herself down. Today she is
merged into new type-one to be ex-
pected from wrestling with realities.
THE NATURAL GIRL.
It is a good-natured creature who now
has the floor. How long she will stay is
doubtful. Her principal characteristic is
frankness; but in all things she must ap-
pear to be quite at ease-neither too viva
cious nor yet reserved. To gush is very
bad form. Apparently she is accus-
toned to strange sights and rare things
Conversation is strictly commonplace
and slightly personal. She always
asks after your mothers health,
and leads therefrom to talk Of your family
affairs, also hers. No doubt you will hear
her dinner bill of fare and be asked what
you had. Is your complexion sallow ?
She suggests that you eat less meat and take
a dose of pulverized charcoal. If leanness
is your portion she can give you course
of conduct and list of foods that are war
ranted fat-producing. With advantage
of former examples she essays to be
confidential yet not oppressive, candid
yet not caustic, frank not forward; in fact,
to do everything in its normal manner,
and above all things to seem perfectly
sane. Harmless to herself, amusing to
others, welcome to the nation, and much
to be desired by the world, is this present
phase of fashionable female. because
A thing of beauty is a joy forever;
Its loveliness increases
1t will never pass into nothingness.
In whatever guise, always sweet-tenl-
pered, beautiful, intelligent, kind, afiec-
tionate, virtuous. industrious, economical
and altogether lovely-here's to the
American girl, God bless her

TWO MEETINGS.
Love met me on day,
And Love was weeping,
why weep, sweet Love?' / said,
He drooped his golden head
Saying: :" For loves decay
For hearts that are old and dead,
Ill worth the keeping"
But while he spoke | spied
A wicked arrow peeping
From the quiyer at his side,
And when stopped TO kiss him,
Before l could careSs him,
He seized the tiny dart
And threw it at my heart
Then, like a lark in May,
fluttered and fled away.
Love met us, on day
And Love was gay
well met, sweet Love-" we sad
He tossed his golden head
Like little child at play:
He said, "Oh, happy day
For not all hearts are dead
Not all are old snd cold
Smart cancels smart
When heart to heart
Ny silver chains enfold.'
81 wept," he said, "for loves not true;''
81 SMILE" he said, "for you and you"
Then, lspiug out some tender word,
And looking up and laughing low,
He snatched the bow-string from his bow
And bound us with the silver cord;
Nor ever shall the SAD fates sever
The twain that Love made one forever

and they were successfully married at
the Beeler House by Rev. H. S. France,
of the Methodist church, this city.
The couple returned TO their homes
at 7.45 this morning. Miss Beyler is
tall, fine-looking lady and the gen
eral attractiveness of her demeanor
was augmented by profusion of col
ors, only known to the rainbow,
which bedecked her person. Mr.
Menefee is a short, thickset gentleman
of determined look, and, rs proven,
fine executive ability.

THINGS DOCTORS DO NOT KNOW.
THEIR IGNORANCE ILLUSTRATED IN
THE ROBINSON POISONING CASE.


There was commotion among the
doctors at recent meeting OF the
Massachusetts, Medico-Legal Society,
when it was found that reporters for
secular newspapers were taken notes.
Papers bearing specially on the no
torious Robinson arsenical poisoning
cases had been announced
DR.. Holt declared that there was
general ignorance of the symptoms of
arsenical poisoning, and claimed that
because of this ignorance the Rob
ilson poisoning cases had gone on
without arousing suspicious on the
part of medical men. There were, he
said, at least eight cases of criminal
poisoning; seven occurred within five
years, and in one family, and the other
was that of a relative.
The cases were all treated by ply
sicians of large practice, prominent IN
the profession, and yet no suspicion
of arsenical poisoning was aroused
until an organization in which the
victims were insured tried TO determine
by investigation why so many per
sons died suddenly in this family.
In support of his statement as 10
symptoms of arsenical poisoning, the
doctor remarked that certaticates OF
death were given in five of the Rob
inson cases as follows: pneumonia,
typhoid fever. meningitis, bowel
disease and Bright's disease.
The startling disclosure ofthe stupid
ignorance shown in the treatment OF
those cases is quite in keeping with
the usual indiscretion manifested by
the profession in the treatment OF
persons who are sufferers from the
Slow and subtle poison which is gen
Grated in the system from a diseased
state of the kidneys.
The afflicted are treated for con
sumption, apopleXy, for brain and
various nervous disorders. when in
most instances, il is shown, when too
late, that the patient was wrongfully
ignorantly treated for a supposed
disease which was, in reality, but a
symptom of kidney disease, and
should have beer timely treated as
such by the use of Warmers Safe Cure,
which is the only remedy known that
can be successfully relied on in the
treatment of such disease.
Such exhibitions of stupidity by
those who profess great intelligence
destroy confidence, and it can be
well said that remedy like Warner
Safe Cure, which places the direct
means of preserving health in the suf-
ferer's hands, is far more meritorious
than high-priced medical advice
which is so generally worthless and
too often based upon an erroneous
opinion as to the true cause of illness.
Human life is just a little too prec-
ious to the average individual 10 be
sacrificed to the bigotry or ignorance
of others.
