what to Do with schweinfurth.


What to do with Schweinfurth is q problem
that grows more and more perplexing to the
good people of Rockford, ILL.,, as time rolls on.
His heaven Is quite another kind OF place and
is clearly disgrace to the city and state. 1t is
growing both by accretion and by natural in
crease, and the latter is calmly attributed
by 6chweinfurth to be the Holy Ghost. The
sensible citizens of Rockford and vicinity real
lie that something should be done, bat the
problem is how to go about it Mob violence
won't do, for it Is we'll known that to make q
martyr of this ming villain would only in
crease his following. ThreatB and the boycott
are open TO the same objection. Nothing short
OF Indictment by the grand jury will be effect
i've. Meanwhile the pernicious influence of his
doctrine has extended as far north as Minneap-
oils, as far south rs Nashville, and from Kansas
City on the west to Cincinnati on the east. Who
knows but there may be the germ OF another
Mormon monster in this little Schweinfurth
craze? He must be got rid of in some way. A
safe method would be TO quietly kidnap him tin
the dark of the moon," aud transport him to
Mexico, with q warning not to cross the Rio
Grande under penalty of Texas rope. His fol-
lowers would scatter before he could get back

speaker was a man from the Nehalem, and he

remedy would be more expensive than the pest

DATING THE CARD.

a novel suggestion concerning
the calling card is that it shall be
dated by the visitor, plan which
will greatly assist the receiver in
keeping record of the visit and ar
ranging for its return at suitable
time. Should this plan become
general, card-cases neatly fitted
with an indelible pencil and min
iature calendar will be demanded.
Another innovation for relieving
the ugly monotony of a lady's card
is to decorate it somewhat after the
manner of the diuner card, that is,
to have bird, flower or n plume
OF ferns in colors of neutral tints
thrown across the left-hand corner.
The fancy, if adopted, will result in
great extravagance and the cards of
the wealthy and artistic be treas
ured as veritable works of art.

Early in March, 1867, party OF

living and prominent citizens oil
Wichita and Great Bend, in Kan

then II famous rendezvous Of tho
animals they were after. One day
when out on the range stalking,

LATEST IMPORTED rAps.

For the last five weeks the big
American importers have been
quietly receiving their foreign goods,
but, like all careful players, they
have been averse to showing their
hands for fear Of giving their OPP
ponents cue. The last week or
two, however, has compelled them
to display their goods. As a result,
in almost every case faded colors in
pronounced shades are the rule.
Faded colors in pronounced
shades" may be little paradoxical,
but If you think for a moment you
will understand what Is meant.
A good color, no matter how good it
Is, will always fade to certain ex-
Tent. 1t will soften. But still its
Character is pronounced. On the
other hand, IA poor color, made of
cheap dyes, Will, when IL once
starts to fade, rapidly run into tue
where-is-it. The colorings that are
being shown to-day are copies OF
antiques. The blues, which were
made 200 years ago, and which are
still found in charming Flemish
French and German tapestries, are
still blue, sottened only by time.
The primitiveness Is matured.

A DUST CLOAK.

A pretty and serviceable cloak is
of pongee in the usual pale ecru tint.
The rolled collar IL trimmed with
wide linen guipure lace, a shade
darker than the pongee, and the
sleeves have full ruflle of the same
lace, as we'll as ribbon bow, with
pendants on the ends. More ribbon
Is knotted upon the back just below
the waist, and long ends come from
beneath the collar and tie upon the
breast, when the cloak is adjusted
and fastened.
In the matter of sleeves, the
ladies Iof to-day copy their great
grandmothers, but the idea is beauti-
fully elaborated. The effect of these
modish sleeves, pulled and floating
on the shoulders and tight fitting
below, combined with rufIled col
larette and deep ruffled skirt, Is
something bewilderingly charming,
especially when considered I'm con-
nection with white dress of soft
texture, clinging folds and glove
fitting smoothness, smothered in
lace or trimmed with soft material
with little color in 1t to emphasize
the white. Such u costume is de
moralizingly beautiful, for without

THE STUDY OF GRACE.
Society girls have taken up the
study of grace, which consists in
being entirely serpcntine. To at
tain this undulating walk the head
must remain firm, the shoulders
droop and the movement come from
the hip. In this way there will he
no tossing or shaking of the skirts,
and the willowy, swaying motion
at the waist will emphasize the
snake effect sought. For the culti-
vation of this indefnable charm,
walking next to dancing Is the best
exercise, as 1t brings the muscles
into fairly uniform action. The un-
dulations made by the head, chest
and torso i'm u vertical plane are not
only productive of Hogarth's line
of beauty, but tend to perfect ply
steal health. Grace Is such an in
describable thing that negatives aid
/ in the definition. 1t Is not graceful
/ to walk on the heels, to take long
strides, or to raise the foot from the
ground more than two inches; 1t Is
not graceful to stump or lay the
foot down with n defiant or resound-
ing noise; it Is not graceful to square
the shoulders soldier fashion, or to
set the elbows akimbo, as in driving;
1t is not graceful to hurry, hustle or
fuss, for speed is not conducive to
grace of motion, save among
thoroughbreds. Another foe of
grace is self-consciousnees. The
really. pleasing, graceful, gracious
woman rises above her raiments,
and once her toilet is complete she
gives no more thought of it.
