THE New York Press, the
greatest republican daily Of the
United States, says that the Hon
Frederick Douglass is the fore
most colored man in America.
We agree with the Press editor
Frederick Douglass is without a
peer among the grand galaxy of
eminent colored men this country
has produced. The negro race
are proud of him, notwithstand-
ing the harmless vaporing of a
few misguided colored journals.
The name and fame of Frederick

brighter and brighter with honor

Female Farmers.

viii tie coming young woman be a
farmer?
Scattered over all the broad prairies Of
the Northwest are hundreds of self-reliant,
true blue young heroines, living in small,
isolated cabins called shaclss, proving up
claims, entering homesteads and making
money.
1t is lonesome, dreary business, this liv
Ing alone on wild, unsettled prairie, with
out face or human form to welcome one or
cheer ones solitude, but there seems TO be
a good many young women who have the
grit to hang to this solitary life long
enough to prove up claim at least.
Four young ladies in Dakota last year put
their heads together and hit upon an ingeR-
ious plan, whereby they could each secure
claim and yet all live comfortably together
in one house and each be upon herown land.
Instead of building four shacks with one
room each, they constructed one shack with
four rooms, but so nicely planned that each
room of the square building was on differ
ent quarter section. Each had her own bed
in her own room and in that way each claim
ant at night slept upon her own land.
Society ladies of the city will wonder, not
SO much how these young lady settlers got
along without social privileges, as how they
dared live SO far away from the doctors
Why, bless you'll they never thought of be-
ing sick Doctors are not half SO much Of
household necessity as city people are in the
habit of thinking.
For all the ordinary ills of life, the Old
fashioned roots and herbs remedies are
more effective, and much safer in results,
than modern doctors pills and potions.
These latter are so radical in their effects
that, while they may better meet the
modern desire for quick results, they
frequently permanently injure the system,
nature rebeling against the unnatural
methods employed.
1t is always safest to follow natural
methods in treating disease. The old tune
roots and herbs remedies, which our good
old log-cabln grandmothers knew 50 well
how to prepare, were the best medicines
the world ever knew, because they were
| natures remedies.
| The modern world needs them. In w ar
ner- : Log Cabin Remedies, and especially
/ such as Warmers Log Cabin SarsapariHa
and Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Con
sumption Remedy, the people OF to-day
have an opportunity to secure the nealtny
medicines which our rugged ancestors used
with such splendid results.

FANCIES IN FURNITURE.
Changes in the Popular Demand for Ger
tain Woods or Designs.

CnAnSeS IN fOpular DEMAND Ger
tain Woods or Designs.
STYLES come and go in furniture al
most as rapidly as in millinery" said
a leading manufacturer, in reference to
the trend of taste in house-furnishing
Every little while there is a popular
craze for some particular wood or
design, and even though there be no
pronounced demand of this sort there
is always reaching out after novelties.
I'm the new styles of furniture the
designs are simpler and the ornamen-
tation less elaborate and more ehaste.
The same principles are now followed
in eabinet-making as in architecture.
Barring special cases, which may be
regarded as exceptions, there is a
growing disuse of ornamentation, pure
ly as such. Designers are seeking more
and more the beauty that results from
simple, even severe, lines and fine fin
ish. IN some styles, especially of Ia
bles and bedroom sets. this is almost
carried to excess The aim, of course,
is to produce striking effects without
such an expenditure of labor in manu-
facture as to prohibit sale, and in so
far as designers now sin in this respect
I think they sin on the right side.
Taste is now gravitating toward
the antique. With the exception Of
few patent devices, such as folding
beds, Office furniture and revolving
bookcases, nothing really new has
been got out for years. The Eastlake
patterns, so popular some time ago,
were nothing but crude adaptation
of the gothic. Painted furniture, once
so popular, was novel only in its finish.
So, too, with stained woods, which are
used only for cheap goods. All these
are now out Of date, and designers are
busy working over Romanesque, re-
naissance. Louis ", and colonial pat
terms. We adapt and unite the differ
ent types just as modern architects
combine different styles of architecture,
and many of our most pleasing effects
are obtained in this way. The popular
fad keeps us within the leading strings
of the antique, and so far as the re-
quirement is met we are free to make
as many violations or combinations OF
art principles as we choose.
Good furniture to-day is much
cheaper than the same quality of goods
was q few years ago. The secret of the
matter is not because wood or labor is
cheaper, for material is actually more
expensive and labor not essentially
changed, but because machine-work is
more largely taking the place Of hand
work, even in the best goods, and
because, as | said before, beauty is
sought on different lines. A large
share of the carved work now seen on
furniture is done quickly and cheaply
by machines which are little less than
curiosity in the way they work out
designs. There are some classes OF
furniture, of course, such as uphol-
stored chairs and sofas, in which there
is not so noticeable q change either in
style or price. Tapestries and pushes
are now in vogue, as heretofore, and
there is no difference in these radical
enough to deserve notice. Leather is
used chiefly for library and dining-room
furniture. Brass trimmings are on the
wane. Chicago News.

on the steamer.
