Lillian,s Adipose.

Lillian Russell is the victim of her own
beauty, and the dread of getting fat keeps
her as miserable as the humblest chorus
girl in the Casino company. She can't
eat any sort of sweetmeats, cake OF
pastry. Every vegetable is forbidden
that grows under ground; no wine is al
lowed to pass her lips; meat is limited to
one meal a day and between the foods
that she dare not eat and does not care to
eat her bill of fare is confined to bread
and butter, lemons and lettuce.
Every day she is compelled to walk ten
miles, and in this hot weather the exer-
else is far from agreeable. She dresses in
blue flannel, wears cork-soled shoes, a
straw hat with a moist sponge basted in
the crown, and carries a douhlelined sun
umbrella.
As the object of this exercise is to keep
her flesh down, she never fails to weigh
herself before starting out, so that she
knows exactly what reduction is neces-
strips of white flannel, which are coiled
about her body spirally and laid double
where the flesh is too abundant. In this
snug little suit the only Lillian walks IN
til she IL a rich rose color and dripping
with pe~fspiration, when she is rubbed
down with alcohol, refreshed cold with
bOuillon, and put to bed. On her toilet as
much care n money are spent as if she
were a princess, Every day she receives
the visits of q haifdresser, manicure and
pedicure, and a bathing mistress prepares
her Fapor baths.-Net0 York. World.

How,s rhis for HARMONY


The view which a paper, c~laiming.to
be Republican, takes of the Repup-
lican primaries recently held in tins
city makes interesting reading. Here
are the E0enSng Journals remarks;-
Last nights so-called Republican primary in
the First district may be properly summed up N
one word-it was a 'corker, - The outrageous
proceedings which attracted that noisy mob IN
front of Doe Nathan's little shoe shop, at No
81 Gregory street, from seven o'clock until mid.
night, might be dubbed a primary by the poll
ticians who managed things last evening, but
the scores of Republicans who turned away and
sickened at the doings of the crowd OF framed
political tricksters, viii give the affair a consplcu
Gus place in the annals of rowdyism and ring
rule. The circus was sufficient to pale the
triumphs of the palmiest of Horseshoe primaries
The close proximity of the First precinct station
house and the vigilance of the police alone pre-
vented one of the biggest rows in lower Jersey
City. There were personal encounters galore
but the story in detail can only give a faint i'm
preston Of this unique performance on aceoun,
of unprintable compliments that were exchanges
with lightning rapidity by the managers OF tn
show.
And yet we are told that the party
is a unit, that it will unanimously de-
vote heart and soul to the election OF
the Republican nominee for Governor,
How about the ''scores of Republicans
who turned away and sickened at the
doings of the crowd of trained politi-
cal tricksters2n
Now these "tricksters" are going to
make the nomination. At least they
are going to so through the motions
when they get their orders from Cam
den. Are the scores who sickened,
etc, going to ratify the action of the
tricksteps?

Lady Colin

1t was g charming picture altogether as
Lady Colin came down the vista toward
me. AS ] rose to meet her it was difficult
so suppress the exelamation:-"Ah, Diana
of the Crosswaysl" Lady Colin is a very
tall, slender, regal woman. Her height
must be at least five feet nine, but so ex-
actly proportional is the whole form that
there is no effect of overlapping us
smaller mortals. Her complexion is a
clear, pale olive, with high color only in
the lips, and she carries her head royalty,
with its crown of jet black hair. The
features are regular, the eyebrows deli
cately penciled. She was dressed in q
severely plain green cloth costume,
trimmed with dark fur. The perfect
lines of her form were not pbscured by a
single fold. The tall palm, bending gra-
ciously, inclining to this side or that,
| typfied her, At the time of the trial d
friend told me she had nee met at dinner
| Lady Colin just after her marriage. My
friend asked who the beauty was, and on
being told she remarked that fate would
no doubt give the royal looking lady a
history, In fact, it is easy to see that
Lady Colin was inevitably destined to
play a role like George Meredith's hero

is turned round and laid upon the back,
where it is often concealed by feathers.

oeive what use it can possibly be to the

That cows are fond of buttercups.
Cows, as we'll as horses, in grazing care
fully avoid these plants, which, like all
the Ranunoulaccoe, are harsh, astringent
and somewhat poisonous,

the same time" This is undoubtedly the
lesson intended to be inculeated.
That a fire is extinguished by the sun

apparent and not real. A fairly good lire

That there is economy in putting fire

ing that whatever heat they give OF Is
derived from the fire itself, and that,

they contribute nothing to the neat OF

centage of combustible matter, as well
as heat, goes up the fine and is wasted.
That pipes are burst by sudden thaW.
The thaw merely finds out the bursting

than for any one else, in this section.
From the first mention of his name in

growing, and the Grubb delegate
ticket will easily lead all others unless
it shall be deemed advisable to elect
entirely unpledged delegates. What
ever may be the final outcome of the

An incident of the wal was recently re-
lated at Richmond by Captain Henry
Hudnall, chairman of the Republican
City Committee, as follows;-'The battle
at Big Bethel Church, the first great
struggle of the late war, was fought June
10, 1861. The Confederate forces, COM
manded by General Magruder, were en-
camped down in Underwater, va. We had
been expecting the Federal forces to
attack US for several days, but up to the
night of the 9th they had shown no sign
of advancing. About two o'clock the
morning of the 10th our sentinels were
astonished to see a beautiful young
woman galiop into camp on the bare back
of an old farm mule. She had travelled
four miles through fields and woods that
dark night, had passed several Federal
scouts, and our scouts were aroused with
the cry:-sThe Federals are advancingl'
The excitement was great. Our troops
had not more than time to form lines
when the great struggle began. The
Federals were driven back, and it was
due to the heroism and bravery of the fair
young Miss Maggie Mitchell, and the
C~onfederates gained the first battle Of the
War.-Citicag0 Tribune.

Impossible to Prevent.

The nomination of Leon Albeit for
Governor of this State at Trenton yes
terday was something impossible to
prevent. The voice of the people of
the whole State demanded that the
man who had so ably and faithfully
looked after the interests Of the whole
people from 1883 to 1886, should again
be placed at the helm of the affairs of
the State. At all times the Herald
will be found advocating the interests
of the whole people, and, in placing
the name of Leon Albeit at the head
of our columns we make no excuse, as
he is the man of the people, as well as
of the Democratic party. -MSd8leSe@

"BILLn KERN,
G. D, J. NOELKE,
nLUDGEn RANKIN!

1t may be that o few honest but
mistaken persons, ignorant of the
record Of these three men, have for
the moment accepted their leadership
and been led astray. But the faction
has been organized, and it exists
purely and solely to crafty the
malevolence of the precious trium-
virate which bosses it.
We're it not for the righteous wrath
which their proclamation of the sacred
words, reform" and "honesty," in-
spires, one might regard the proceed
ings of the three as a sort OF scream
ing farce. 1t is truly ludicrous to see
"Billp Kern, who was the type man OF
all the evils of the old city govern
ment, with his hands clasped, his eyes
turned up, and the of his
mouth drawn down, posing in the role
of a martyr and an apostle of political
purity, And then, how funny, when
Noelke, the man with a record in two
States, inveighs against the doings OF
the "awfuln leaders of the local
Democracy. Judge Rankin, too,
that old political hack, when he
places his hand upon his bosom and
howls for REFORM the very horses in
the street and the cats on the back
fences join in the chorus of laughter.
For the sake OF the handful of err
ing men who accompanied these re-
forming spirits, the State Conven-
ton gave a patient hearing and hon
orable treatment to the representa-
tiyes Of the alleged new movement"
How much such treatment is thrown
away the public may Judge from the
~scurrilous manifesto inspired by
Noelke and ''adoptedn at the star
chamber session of Friday night,
Perhaps the point that will most
strongly impress the general public is
the personal ingratitude shown to
Allan L. McDermott, who as chair
man of the State Committee be-
slowed marked courtesy upon the
recalcitrants, and without whose high
regard for free speech they probably
would not have been heard at all.
1t is fortunate that the leaders have
shown their hand, however. 1t is evi
dent that the campaign they propose
to wage is oneof treachery. The trium
virate are quite capable OF dealing
with General Sewell, and we war;
their misguided followers, who may
still desire to remain honest demo

livered over, bound and helpless, t
the enemy on election day, TO thei
own disgrace, their party's injury anc

political sehemers who have mislet
and betrayed them.
