After the Gamblers.

gH1cAGoE sseMember ga numbf
nfspronin inant ladies of this city hue
Formed a1sassodiation and hired laees
yer to prosecute the gamblers of the
city under the State law. The wofA
was begun to-day with the arrest q q
John Morris, the proprietor of q gam
bling house on Clark street.
The attorney for the ladies says that
there is every reason to believe the
gamblers will very soon become fright
ened. The State law against gambling
is very severe. 1t provides that per-
son convicted the first time of running
a gamling house or renting property to
be occupied by gambling house shall
be fined 500, and that on second con-
viction the fine shall not be less than
$500 and the additional penalty of six
months in the county Jail, and on the
third conviction the penalty shall be
$500 f1ue and one year In the. peniten-
tiary. The ladies, whose names. except
that of Mrs. Van Ardel, are not made
public, intend opush the cases to the
full extent of the law. They are taking
steps to convict, not only the gamblers
themselves, buE also the men whe own
buildings where gambling houses are
run.
Not unlikely that some men who are
wilfully blind and dumb on gambling
will have the courage TO speak out
against these ladies, as being "out of
their place." Blessing on all such wo-
men every where. ED. C.. N.

Signs of q Cold Winter.

1--WE are going to have an early fall
and long, cold, hard winter,n re-
marked Samuel Lovelace, an old Jer-
sey farmer, to several friends at the new
Washington market yesterday. "How
10 you figure that out?" asked one of
the market-men. "In the first place" ("
the Jerseyman replied, "just try the
skin OF any of your fruit. You will
find your apples and peaches and
grapes, and all your fruit, for that mat
ter, which is homegrown, with thick
er and tougher skin than you have
seen for several years. That is one of
the indications. That is The way
nature takes care of her products.
Last winter apples and other fruits
were so thin-skinIled and tender that it
was hard to gather them without bruis-
ing them, if you will remember, and
we had an extraordinarily mild winter.
Germ is another of NATURES sign-boar1s.
The ears this year are protected by
thicker and stronger husks than have
seen before for years, and talking with
farmers up in Pennsylvania find it is
the same way. Wheat and rye straw
are tougher, hay is wirier, and the seed
pods are better protected than usual.
These are old farmers signs, and they
are good ones because they don't come
from any moon-planting superstition,
but from actual observation year after
year by class of men whose interests
lie in keeping close watch of all of
natures moods. ."-NeW York Star.

How to be Graceful.

A schoolgirl misses great deal oi
valuable education who hurres away
to school, morning and afternoon,
without having used her muscles In
helping her mother. She misses some
thing else, which, in a few years, she
will know how to value better than
she does now-grace of movement and
carriage.
What makes a girl graceful? It is
using all her bodily powers. A stu.
dent who is nothing but student soon
begins to stoop, and the habit, once be-
gun, grows inyeterate and incurable.
Half our school girls cannot walk with
ease and grace. 49,
We see this very plainly on COM
mencement days, when the members
of the graduating class are obliged to
walk a few steps before the audience.
Their dresses are often too costly and
splendid; their hair is beautifully ar
ranged their pieces are creditably
written; one thing only they Lack
they cannot walk!
A girl who would have graceful
carriage, a sound digestion, a clear
complexion and fine teeth, must work
for them every day, and no work is
better for the purpose than the ordina-
ry work of a house done with dill
gence and carefulness.

THE QUESTION OF TARE.
The Farmers May be Used to Draw
Chestnuts out OF the Fire for 9th.

CheStnutS OUT OIL the FIRE lOr Otn-
ers.
The resolution passed at New Orleans that
has given rise to the discussion of tare was as
"Resolved, That on and after the first day
OF October 1889, all cotton shall be sold by net
weight, allowing twenty.four (2I pounds on
gross weight for tare on lute covered oaiea,
@ on for To be-
standard weight, three-quarters of pound TO
the yard.
The Aiken Recorder says: :.
carried into toe erect, WSen farmer brings a
bale of cotton into market, II 1t Is covered with
jute "a pounds are deducted from the gross
weight, and If with cotton 16 pounds, and ne
is then paid only for the actual cotton. This
change Is ostensibly to be made in the inter
ests OF the farmers, but we are not quite sure
that their interest will be served. Heretofore
they received the price Of cotton, 10 or lO1
ties but under the proposed system they Will
receive nothing for these, and 1t Is supposed
that as an offset o correspondingly increased
price will be paid for the cotton: II this !.
sure that 1t will be; and, after all, the farmer
is not nearly 80 much interested In this mat
ter Of tare as the buyer. Many farmers will
Is probable that at first good deal Of dissat.
isfaction will result. II the farmers do not
keep their eyes open they will be used to pull
the chestnuts out of the fire for somebody
else's BENEFIT"
The Augusta Evening Ne,0s says: "But the
farmers Will lose money by such tare rule,
or by selling cotton at net weight, says scme.
the farmer alone Is responsible, The farmers
ask ed for the resolution and this action, and
he is supposed to be willing to stand by Its
conseouences. The farmer Is fighting the
jute trust, is fgh ting for an object, for prin.
ciple, and as all fighting is expensive and all
| war is costly, the farmer is the man to stand
the expense. Its his fight, ard If he Is doing
the dancing he must be expected TO pay the
fiddler

No REST AT HoME.-No woman
can rest thoroughly in her own home
with her work ever before her eyes
involuntarily she carries the details Of
baking and brewing in her mind, and
in consequence is nearly as tired as II
she actually did the work. Let her 60

comfortable as home, where she can
eat dinner she did not cook, sleep in

housekeeping women who had much

how other people live suggests new
ways of doing things and makes one
contented with much that before SEEM

The National Convention of Colored
Baptists was in session in indianapolis
during the week and attracted wide
attention on account of its discussion OF
the race problem in the South. After
a lengthy debate the following resolu'
tions were unanimously adopted:
"Resolued, That this Convention be-
lieves that it is to the truest interests
of our people to accept the Horace
Greeley doctrine of Young men, 20
West, where they may obtain recog'
milton and grow up with the country.
"Resolued, That poor and oppressed
people have always migrated west
ward, where they could get lands in
new countries, and thus grow up with
them and become the great men OF
those new communities.
"Resolved, That we ask the Presi-
dent of the United States to recon-
mend to the United States Congress an
appropriation of $50,000,000 to aid the
c9lored people to leave the South"

Greek Costumes.

The Greeks as race were the most
beautiful men and women that ever
trod this planet. And with reason;
for they attached great Importance to
the harmonious and symmetrical de-
velopment of their bodies. No one
part was compressed, distorted, over.
burdened. Their costumes were loose
and flowing, often elaborately and
beautifully embroidered, and of exqui-
site color and texture.
A cast of "Antigone" as played in
Greek by the girl students Of Swarth.
more College Is given in late number
of Hasper's BaSar, and we wish every
woman could see it. There Is not q
sign of a corset or hustle or 8 tie-back
about the twenty-five girls that make
up this charming picture. They look
as though they could fill their lungs to
the full with perfect ease, could sing
and talk without fatigue, could lift
their arms as high as they can reach
without the least impediment. and
could robe and disrobe with equal ia.
cility. They look as though they
might have abdominal muscles. It Is
said by female students of medicine
that these are becoming 80 atrophied
in women that they can with difficult
ty be found in the cadaver. The cor.
set has extinguished them.
Some Of our readers may have seer
the presentation Of this play at Swarth
more some of them may have seen
the play Of "Edipus" given by the
Harvard students some years ago
Those graceful costumes, those flowing
lines, that beautiful drapery. shall
we never dress as wisely as did the
Greeks, as do some of the oriental ma.
tions of to-day? The diseases that
make the lives of so many of our wo-
men a burden were unknown to the
Greeks they are unknown to the wo.
men of Persia and Siam to-day. They
have come in with the compressed
waist, the tightly-ftting high-heeled
shoe, and the heavy skirts, and while
these stay they will stay; when these
go they will go.
The revival of these Greek plays
will familiarize us with the costumes
of the Greeks, and we hope pave the
way for a revival of these costumes
and their adaptation to our climate
and our modern civilization. In such
case doubtless dress would occupy as
much time and thought as it does now,
but it would not be at the expense OF
the harmony and symmetry of the hu'
man form divine as 1t is now.
