Advertisements on the Quilt,

Some brilliant woman with business head
upon her shoulders has invented new fea-
ture for church fairs called the advertising
spread. Business houses and firms are visited
and requested to send in their advertisements
printed upon twelve inch square of white
cotton cloth. These are taken in hand by the
young ladies of the church and the printed
lettering entirely covered with the Kensing-
ton stitch in colored silks. The squares are
then sewed together after the manner of a
patchwork quilt, the border neatly finished
off with lace and ribbon, and the completed
spread hung up in some conspicuous part of
the fair hall so that he who runs may read.
For this privilege the advertiser Is not taxed
at certain fixed rates per word Or line, but is
modestly requested to contribute whatever
amount his pocketbook and bump of benevo-
lence may admit of, the result being gener-
ally more satisfactory to the fair organizers
of the fair than to the contributor, who has
at least the consolation of feeling that he has
been feeced in good cause.-New York

Puritan Primness and French Freedom.
The old fashioned Yankee parlor chair il
rarely seen nowadays. 1t fingers, perhaps,
in the home of the conservative; and many
of us can recall the stiff horse hair structure
standing on the carpet, patterned with huge
green and yellow cabbage roses, and against
the wall paper of gorgeous sunfowers. This
chair seemed modelled for discomfort. Its
limbs, to express it modestly, each carefully
curved in the wrong direction; its back
scorned to minister to the weakness of the
flesh, and persistently refused to curve at all,
thereby discouraging all lazy, lounging hab-
its. One turns, with relief to the equally
quaint but luxurious designs borrowed from
various historical epochs. The Louis XII
chair is a model for the drawing room. The
legs are carved and futed, the back slants
slightly and is heavily decorated with EN-
hlematic carvings, rising in an oval shape in
the center. The stuffs for covering these
chairs are of patterns in close imitation of
those used before the Revolution, woven to
represent flower garlands, armorial devices
and coats of arms, inclosed with the wreaths,
tied with floating and knotted ribbon, so
characteristic of the decorative art Of that
period.-Table Talk.

we don't believe there is but one woman in
America that can make this wine, at least as
good as it appeared to us a few days ago,

0UICK sales is the standard
~ by which we measure the
success of a line of goods. What
sells succeeds, and what sue
ceeds we keep. True merit
creates its own demand-fnds
it's own market, and obtains it's
own price. Honest goods at
lowest prices win the day, and
they do it by a force of their
own. No dealer is driven to the
task of working up a boom for
goods whose merit is apparent
at first sight, and whose reputa-
ton improves with contact.
The quality and quantity Of our
stock being undeniable, we need
only to add that our prices are
the lowest. In Gold Watches
and rich Jewelry we have a
large variety of designs, and at
figures hitherto unsurpassed.
Call and see us and be con-
vinced that we are not misrep-
resenting facts.

citation, besides having charge of consid-
cradle real estate. The photographers
have made few good jokes and many
bad ones about his life as a hen fancier,
which have apparently provoked him
into inviting a reporter to inspect his
coop and publish the truth. So let all
the world hear: Ex-President HAYES has
one hen house, built of ordinary stats and
studding, with a concrete floor and
shingle roof, and the total cost Of it, ma
terials and work, was $3.50. When 'sthe
season" is at its height and the concern
is chock full Of fowls, the total invest
ment may amount to $500. As a hem
nologist he win not 60 into history.
Speigel Grove, the fancy name of Mr..
Hayes home farm, is supposed to mean
a grove where ghosts were visible-to the
original Dutch locator Of the place-and
the ex-president's house is about one
mile west of the business center of Ere
mont, town Of northwestern Ohio. AS
the town in its widest moods never
claimed over ,500inhabitants, it Is plain
that Mr.. Hayes lives quite out in the
country. The home farm and large
tract of land about Fremont was be-
queathed to Mr. Hayes by Sardis Bir-
chard, the wealthy uncle who adopted
and reared him. The uncle founded
what is now the First National Bank of
Fremont, and was a man Of wealth and
high character As there are not many
wealthy men in Fremont, Mr.. Hayes
ranks high, only two men in the place
being accounted Weather. Around the
residence the thirty acres Of timber and
grass plat known as the grove, and by it
runs auckland avenue, from which the
grounds are entered through rather
imposing gateway.

Failure q ProhlbItlOn in Maine

Neal Dow makes an amazing confession
as to the failure OF prohibition in Maine

For more than twenty years, he
says, 4 have been to every Legislature

tions, asking for such amendments to the
law as would make it thoroughly effective.
The efforts have always failed. and the
grog-shops keep on pretty much as they
did twenty years ago. Massachusetts,,
Pennsylvania and Nebraska, which are
going to vote upon the question Of Pro
hibition amendments to the constitution
and any other states which may be think

warning from the great apostle Of Pho
hibition in the commonwealth where
it has been longest tried.

few years the improvement in artistic

NEWSPAPER OPINION.


Philadelphia Record
The enthusiasm with which Blaine is
regarded by certain element Of his
party as the ideal Statesman" is well
calculated to justify the distrust in
which he is held by many Republicans
who have closely watched his career. or
what he is capable when urged by vanity
and ambition he gave the country fore
taste during his brief management OF the
State Department in Garield's admins
tration. Yet, while Mr.. Blaines character
has undergone no change, he has proba-
bly, learned since then a great deal more
of the temper Of his countrymen than he
knew before. He has, doubtless, been
taught by experience that he cannot
always play off articles of demagogy for
feats Of craftsmanship. He has dis
covered, perhaps, that the empty applause
OF the Jingoes was a poor exchange for
the lost 90 lfdence of the sobs- masses Of
the American people. Besides, the emf
nently conservative expressions of Presi-
dent Harrison's inaugural address with
respect to foreign affairs afford fair
guaranty that Mr.. Blaine will no be per-
mitted to cut any fantastic cspers in the
