AS we deal in everything that man
or boy wears, in speaking of new Spring
things let's begin at the top.
HATS.-Place one of our SO Derbys
alongside the best five-dollar hat-store
Hat and the difference is imperceptible.
After a season or years equally hard
or careful use they'd look equally well.
It's simply matter of paying two dol
lars for hatter's name. We have all
the shapes and favorite colors in
Derbys at SO, $3.50 and s1.90. Silk
Hats, So. Boys Derbys, s1.90 and
| $3.50. Children's Fancy Hats of
various styles and prices.
FIXINGS.-Stands for all under
vestments, not the least of which is
Neckwear. A light-colored Cravat is
essential for Easter. Those we sell at
so cents are not warranted to wear
without soiling. They'll soil no quicker
than one costing four times as much,
and are Just as pretty. Higher cost if
wanted. The best of Fisk, Clark &
Flagg's, $3.50; Virgoe-Middleton's, 81.
London made all-linen Collars, rs cents;
our own all-linen, 20 cents, and every
thing imaginable in the way of Shirts,
Nightshirts, Undershirts and Drawers,
Hosiery, Gloves, Suspenders, &c.
Next, CLOTHES.-Mere mention of
price means nothing; you cannot judge
of quality without seeing. Other deal
ers are telling how cheap their clothes
are; we prefer to dwell on the goodness
of ours. We put into them the utmost
value for a moderate price, and invite
your custom with the purpose of retain
ing it. A first-class Suit or Spring
OVercoat, S18 to $28; some lower and
a few higher; but that is the practical
limit both ways of what ninety-nine in
every hundred men want.
Finally, SHOES.-Ifwe said all that
we ought to about Shoes the story'd be
too long. In brief, we've handled
Shoes in the orthodox method long
enough; we now break away from ira
ditional usage. We're going to keep
as good Shoes as ever-some higher
cost ones; and to gather the largest
sort of a shoe trade, we shall name
seemingly incredible prices. AS an in
dication, we begin to-day selling for
$3.50 the same Waukenphast Balls that
thousands of customers have willingly
paid us seven dollars for. In future,
all our four-dollar Shoes will be So
our flve-dollar ones 81; our six-ffty
grade $5-and our seven-ffty finest
French calf, Sc. , Patent feathers So,
instead of six, and 81 in place of five
all others in proportion. Tell you more
about it next week.

wv of the season to begin reductions
of prices on fine goods, but we start to-

You will certainly need something
new for Easter. In casting about for
it, then, do not fail to inspect our stocks.
We make nothing from these suits
further than the benefits which accrue
from the extensive advertising.
There is such a large bulk OF goods
in the array that we divide them into

Robson in Congress.

Stuart Robson, by the way, was once
in congress. Revelation of this little
known fact was recently made when
he was introduced to the Father of

Pennsylvania. Said the comedian in
his high 9 voice, which pipes as natur-
ally of the stage as upon it: II am

actor in amazement, and in his deep
bass voice replied: "You were in the
Thirty-first congressi Why, my dear
sir, I am old enough to be your father,
and my services in the house of repre-
sentatives only began with the Thirty

without q smile upon his face, squeaked
again: "Yes, judge, but you see you

Good Qualities OF Turpentine.

After a housekeeper fully realizes
the worth Of turpentine in the house
hold she is never willing to be with
out supply of it. It gives quick re-
lief to burns; it is an excellent appH-
cation for corns; it Is good for rheu-
matism and sore throats, and 1t Is the
quickest remedy for convulsions or
fits. Then it Is O sure preventive
against moths; by just dropping q
trife in the bottom OF drawers, chests
and cupboards, it will render the gar
ments secure from injury during the
summer. Il will keep ants and bugs
from closets and storerooms by putting
q few drops in the corners and upon
the shelves; it is sure destruction to
bedbugs and will efectually drive
them away from their haunts if thor
oughly applied to the joints Of tho
bedstead in the spring cleaning time,
and Injuries neither furniture nor

pail of warm water is excellent for
cleaning paint. A little in the suds

What Makes Wrinkles.

TT is customary to say that wrinkles
come from worrying, but the truth is
that most Of them come from laugh
ing" says o we'll known physician.
ITO know how to laugh is Just as i'm
portant as to know whom to do it. If
you laugh with the sides of your face.
the akin will work loose in time, and
wrinkles will form in exact accordance
with the kind Of laugh you have.
The man who always wears a smirk
will have q series Of semicircular
wrinkles covering his cheeks.
when a gambler who has been ac-
customed to suppressing his feelings
laughs, deep line forms on each side
Of his nose and runs to the upper cor
ner Of his mouth. In time this line
extends to the chin and assumes the
shape Of half moon. A cadaverous
person with a wax like skin is very apt
to have two broadly marked wrinkles,
one running up from the jaw and tho
other under the oye. These meet at
right angles ut the cheekbones and
look as though they formed q knot at
the apex. Tho scholars wrinkles form
on his brow, while the scheming poll
tician's come round his eyes, where
they look for all the world like the
spokes Of q wheel. New York Mail

The Tear Handkerchief.

In some parts of the Tyrol q peculiar
and beautiful custom prevails among
the peasantry. When q peasant girl
is going to be married, before she
leaves her home to 60 to the church
her mother gives her q handkerchief,
which is called the 'tear handker-
chief" It Is made Of newly spun
linen and has never been used. She
Is supposed to dry her tears with this
when she leaves her home and when
she stands at the altar. After the mar
riago Ii over, and the bride has gone
with her husband to her new house,
she carefully folds up the handker-
chief and places it unwashed among
her little treasures.
So far 1t has done only half its duty.
Her children grow up, marry and 90
away to now homes, each daughter re-
oeiving in her turn q new tear hand
kerohief," and yet the last present, the
present received from her mother, has
not fulfilled its object. Years roll by,
and the once young and blooming
bride becomes wrinkled old woman,
and outlived, perhaps, her husband
and all her children. At last, when
tho weary eyelids are closed for their
long sleep, the "tear handkerchief" is
talken from its resting place and spread
over the placid features of the dead.

A Novelty I'm Beds.

Plunging about on tho levee in tho
blackness the other night q reporter
discovered q retreat, the novelty Of
which knocked him all in O heap. II
was a lodging house, but there were
no beds. The guests did not recline
on the floor either, nor were they
hung up on hooks, and yet they slept
The room was perhaps seventy-fve
feet deep by twenty wide. About
three feet from tho wall and extend
ing around it was q rope fastened to
posts placed at intervals. It was
about Ave feet from the floor and was
slightly slack. Underneath it were
other ropes similarly stretched, the
whole resembling rope fence. With
their backs to this support, and with
both arms thrown over It to keep from
falling, were twenty-five persons,
mostly colored, but among them sew
eral wretched white men, and all were
sleeping soundly. The place was
dimly lighted, and the old darky pro-
prietor sat patiently waiting for moro
guests to arrive. His charge for lodg-
ing, or rather to hang on the ropes all
night, is but five cents.-Louisville

Making Camphor.

The mode Of preparing camphor for
commerce as practiced by the Japan
ese is q species Of distillation. The
wood is cut up into chips and these
iron pot under which a slow fro Is
kept. The pot is partially filled with
water and the bottom OF the tub Is
pierced with holes through which the
steam from the heated water passes.
The tub has close fitting cover, and
q bamboo pipe connects it with q series
OF other tubs. The steam passing
through the chips separates the oil and
camphor from them, and in the lest
tub the cooled extract falls upon
straw which catches tho camphor
crystals while the oil and water escape
and are held in a lower compartment.
The camphor is collected and packed
for market, and the oil is used for
illuminating and other PURPOSES

Marshal MacMahon IN 6nishin4 bis
memoirs. He has sent proof OF tho
chapters relating 10 the military Cperar
tons of the Ausfro- French wsr pf 1859
to tho Archduke Albert inspector Of
tho Austrian army, and those relattng
TO the war Of 1S76izt 70 Mslshale Won
Moltke and Blumcnthal, reqpestJng ia
each case to be informed whetheF he
has stated facts accurately, Tho In
terest Of tho memoirs wiz center on
two points: First, the influence politi-
cal considerations had in preventing
the retreat of his army on Paris after
the defeats at Woerth and Forbach in
1870, and, secondly, the part which
the marshal played in assisting and
afterward frustrating the attempts at
q monarchical restoration In 1683-4-6.
The marshal, as was well known,
thought tho Comte do Chambord acted
very foolishly. The crown was ready
to his hand and he had only to mako
o move to grasp it. He was, however,
dissuaded from it by the Comtesse dc
Chambord, who, having no children
and hating the Orleans princes, loathed
the idea Of raising her husband up on
high simply to make the throne secure
for his cousins.-London World.

II Was q Pretty Foot.

The funniest incident of my trip was
IN sleeping car. 1t was in the morn
ing. when the passengers had got out
OF their berths, and only several sets
OF curtains were drawn in front Of
still slumberous persons. Suddenly a
foot was thrust out between two cur
tains: 1t was small, white and SYM
metrical--not more than a feminine
number three-and the merest bit Of
ankle in sight looked soft and fine.
The men glanced at it from tho cor
ners Of their wicked eyes. The wo-
men deprecated tho exposure. Then
q bold, brazen fellow went right
straight to the pretty foot, grabbed the
ankle, and flung tho whole member
rudely into the berth.
He wouldn't treat his bride So"
said woman close by. 'It must be
his sister,"
Then tho head OF q 1O-year-old
urchin emerged whero tho foot had
been, and q sleepy, angry, boyish
voice said: Look here, Sam, you let
me alone. Next time you ketch hold
OF my foot that way I'll kick tho giz-
zard out Of you"
There was subsidenco of senti-
mental interest and risibility of
mirth. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Among the various textile products
Of Irish manufacturing skill the most
i.sSSS g tSs 9ssix trstsa thi iri.S % friese.
Its manpfacturS sias como down from
time iuimemorial The process since
Il was first woven on the primitive
hand loom, and tho subsequent manip-
ulation to prepare Il for the only gar
mont for which il Is pre-eminently
suited, the Cotha Moro (big coat or
overcoat), has been handed down from
one generation of the Irish people to
another until at the present day the
rapidly increasing steam power looms
Of the Irish mills are engaged In man
ufacturing friezes which are making
their way by sheer force Of real merit
In the best markets of the world.
The chiof features which distinguish
frieze from all other cloths are its abso-
Lutte imperviousness to rain and its
extraordinary durability. In these it
resembles tho famous blankets Of the
Navaios Indians. OF course we are
now speaking Of real Irish frieze, not
the counterfeit article, which Is now
QulUo pleutuuA III tho fAhioStSoh h1<AA
ket. These points Of excellence are
secured through the peculiar method
Of manufacturing the longest and best
wool, selected from tho best Irish
aeeOes, wsthopt which thoro can be no
itself Is quito simple, but tedious, de-
manding much time, care and atten-
ton.
Nothing but washed wool Of the
longest and strongest fiber is used.
This Is first dyed, and afterward, when
spun, is doubled so as to resemble
yarn; in fact, it is O softly spun
woolen yarn, which has not been
treated by acids In any manner, so
that tho whole natural strength Of the
wool fiber remains unimpaired. This
yarn is then woven, after which it is
put through tho thickening or tuck
ing process, as it is termed. This lat
ter Is practically somewhat pro-
longed washing or sousing Of the
cloth in o carefully prepared solution,
slowly heated up to the boiling point,
and then as slowly cooled again. This
shrinks and consequently thickens the
fabric which comes from the loom to
such an extent that it becomes almost
impossible, after cutting the goods, to
separate one thread Of the cloth from
the other, SO closely are they allied
and 80 intefdependent on each other.
The final operation is the dressing
and finishing of the goods. From this
brief explanation it will be perceived
in what the chief points OF the excel.
lence of Irish frieze consist. Dyed in
the wool, tho color is permanent; un
treated by acid, tho natural virility OF
the wool fiber Is preserved.

A popular vice among tho ladies Of
this part of the state is tho usc of to-
bacco. Some will chew II like vet
Grams, while others are content to
smoke. But by far the most common
way Of deriving enjoyment from its
use is TO tako it In the form Of snuff.
When a number Of women get to
gether the snuff box is nearly always
produced, with the instruction to
take dip" as it goes around the cir
cle. Then they will sit and gossip, in
terrupting the flow OF conversation
with frequent expectorations into a
big spittoon or the fireplace. A snuff
dipper's outfit consists of small tin
cannister about an inch thick by two
inches long and a wooden brush.
The latter is about three inches in
length, and in size resembles q slate
pencil. 1t is usually cut from black
gum or some other tough wood. One
end is chewed and splintered by the
teeth till it looks like small paint
brush. The splintered end is dipped
into the snuff and worked around till
little ball has been collected. The
snuff thus secured is rubbed over the
teeth and gums. Usually the stick Is
held between the teeth till the snuff
has all been absorbed, when another
dip is taken. For ladies who object to
using O canister and brush O small
snuff wafer has been invented which
can be concealed between the lips and
teeth. A grocer's clerk asserted en-
phatically that fully 90 per cent. Of
the women used either tobacco or
snuff, or both. By thinking men the
tobacco habit among women is con-
hdered one Of tho worst evils with
which Arkansas is obliged to contend.

A Strong Motiva.

Just are valuable things.
Many people are toned up to their best
endeavors by knowing that much is
expected Of them. The desire Is strong
within them that tho good opinion
which some one has formed of them
should DO upheld, and they make
strenuous efforts to this end. Who
ever has had much to do with children
knows how powerfully this motive
will influence them, and added years
seldom decreases its force. To pre.
serve the influence, however, it Is
essential that only that should be ex-
pected which can be rendered. Once

FishinR In tho Red Sea,

The old Arab geographers describe q
way Of taking fish from the waters of
the Red sea which must have been
convenient for the people Of that re-
gion, If it were not very ingenious.
The people supply themselves from
the sea without craft, or without
standing upon the shore. They use.
while swimming or diving, little nets,
which they themselves make of woven
grass.
They tie these to their feet, and by
slip knots and. lashings held in their
hands, they draw fast the snare when
they feel that q fish has entered il. All
this they do with exceeding art, and
with cunning bred by long expert
ence. They also teach land reptiles to
drive their prey.-Youth's Compan-

this end are sometimes very amusing.

grasping as he was, there was one
thing he would not accept, even for
nothing, and that was intoxicating
drinks Of any kind. He was strictly
temperate.
One day he was asked to drink with
several OF his neighbors ut tho village
store, where drinks were sold at ton
cents each.

faculty will not grant the petition, but
have concluded to try consultation
