Coming Styles.

Directoire gowns and Empire cos
tunes will prevail in greater popular
ity than ever during the coming sea-
son, though it will be difficult to per-
suade many to return to limitations of
costumes of their grandmothers. The
simple, plain skirt. and round waist
worn with the directoire sash, the
long coat over plain skirt, and the
full sleeves, are some of the fashion
able features of the time.
The windows of city dry goods
houses are full of cotton goods
ginghams to large extent and sat
Gems less noticeable. 1t is evident
that half the world of women will
wear stripes this summer, and very
pretty some of these striped patterns
are. Some of the dantiest ginghams
are in useful colors, arranged in
groups of stripes. One in shades of
terra Gotta has two narrow stripes of
a dark shade and two of a medium
shade IN a group of four, each stripe
being outlined with a narrow line of
white. A broad stripe of light terra
Gotta separates the groups. A simple
pattern in shades of olive is equally
pretty and useful; and in shades of
blue, gray and red is another pretty
pattern. The glory of high favor
seems to have departed from sateens,
but, although they do not occupy
prominent position in the market,
there are some patterns distinguish
ed by their floral designs. A promi-
nent importer says that his new sat-
Gems are decorated with immense
bouquets of flowers. In fact, the
designs are so large that it will be
to make a dress wholly of
sateen, and the importer intends to
mingle them with wooden goods-a
certainly unique combination. Some
thing new, yet of an old-fashioned
aspect, are the pattern gowns in white
and cream-calored lawn, daintily en-
broidered on the bottom with bands
of white embroidery. They will be
made with short ''baby' waists and
plain skirts. Boston Journal.

Prohibition.

OOme independent anu VALUABLE
testimony to the workings of prohi-
bition in Kansas is furnished in a re-
port just made by the stockholders
committee of the Farmers Loan and
Trust company. The committee say
that they treat the subject as "a mat
ter of financial interest and otherwise
to our stockholders, and with ''no
motive other than to apply the deduc-
tons obtained therefrom to the value
of your Kansas investments. The
committee, composed of residents of
Boston, give such facts as these upon
the authority of the attorney general
of Kansas. In Leavenworth county
the saloons were closed in March,
1887, and commitments to the peni-

fences to the penitentiary decreased
from % in 1885 to - in 1886, six in
1887, and but one during the first
half of 1888; the penitentiary has
1O4 less inmates than year ago, and
''the jails of the state are practi-
cally empty; y the proportion of pau
pers, which was one to every $50
persons in 1886, is now only one to

mittee say, ''lead us to believe that

part of the country are shown by the
experience of Washington county in

"wet," but "went dry in 1886, and
declared its adherence to the same
policy by larger majority at an cleo

years of license, the number of acres
of land owned by the colored people
remained almost stationary-5,86 1866,
6,O01 and 6,O46; but the first year
of prohibition carried it up to II 500.
In other words, the negro acquired
almost as much land in single year
when the saloons were closed, as they
had done in twenty years when the
saloons were open. The whites also
benefited by the superior efficiency of
their colored laborers, to say nothing
of what they saved themselves. AS

that teachers should be employed for the

When once fully recognized and acted upon

The teacher who is chronically ''unable" to
attend associations and Institutes for this,
that and the other tritiing excuse hasn't
enough vitality left to even ''go to seed"
He is ''back number" and should be re-

prepare plenty of slate or seat work for
pupils he should not be surprised if he has
his hands full to keep them in subjection.-

EDITOR TIMEs.-One of the most pleasant
days it has ever been our lot to enjoy, was
the occasion of the twentieth wedding an
niversary of Mr.. and Mrs. G. II. Mason. ON
the 25th of November, at their home in the
township of Owosso.
There were about forty guests present
(some of them from quite distance) and
all seemed fitted for just such ieIly meet
ing,. and they did not come empty handed
either, as the table full of lovely presents
testified, where gold, silver, china, and
glass were all represented as well as plush
and linen. The day was lovely just as il
should be on such an occasion. Some very
feeling remarks were made by the minister
who performed the marriage ceremony
twenty years ago, and who has always been
their true friend in sorrow as well as Joy.
The hostess informed us that out of the
whole number who were guests at their
wedding twenty years ago all were alive
except three.
About two o'clock we were invited into
the dining room where the tables were in
vltingly spread with choice food Some of
the visitors fingered until the sun went
down, then went home feeling that it had
been red letter day in their lives.
