The chrysanthemum shows

In the large cities are a lea1ipg
feature OF the November entertain
ments. They are looked forward
70 for months by those who appre-
ciate beauty of form and brilliancy
as we'll as delicacy Of coloring.
Each year seems. to surpass that
which went before in the splendor
and variety of chrysanthemums dis
played in the large cities.
In the smaller places, however,
this means for giving entertainment
to large number of persons, and at
the same time turning n neat sum
OF money into enterprising individ-
uals pocket, seems to be neglected.
At the same time it is the country
towns that could, If they would, make
the handsome shows. The artificially
fed and forced flower the profession
florists produce cannot compare in
vigor and beauty to that which
grows more naturally. In the conn-
try and in villages where household
ers have the taste they ought to have
at this time of the year the grounds
should be blaze of beauty from the
dumps ofsplendid chrysanthemums
Every small city, every town of a
few thousand inhabitants should
have its annual chrysanthemum
show bringing together old friends,
cultiPating the refined and aesthetic
in human nature, and attracting
strangers to the place. 1t is not to
late as yet to make a small Begin
ming Of such q show in most places.
But another year let public spirited
lovers Of the beautiful take the mat.
ter in hand early. 1t is not too
early now. in fact, to begin to pre-
pare for successful fall flower s how
in November, 1891. Plants want
to be Specially selected specially
treated, and kept to blossom just at
the right moment.

Women in the Lobby.

The "petticoat lobby" of the Capito.
has always been exaggerated. Some
lobbying is done here by women, but
as for professional women lobbyists
they are scarcer than hen-teeth. You
meet numerous women with claims in
the Capitol corridors, and there are a
couple of old ladies who have been
here for generation awaiting the set
tlement of cotton claim. The claim
is probably just one, but Congress
does not get at it, and they viii be in
their graves before it is settled. Their
faces were fresh when they came here
They are wrinkled now and there are
crows feet at their eyes. They bring
their knitting with them and sit together
in the galleries waiting and watching,
and watching and waiting session in
and session out. A new lobbyist this
season is a red-faced woman with blue
eyes and rakish straw hat. She seems
to be crazy, and imagines that it is her
to catch Silcott. She addresses
Congressman whenever she meets them
and they usually treat her well

Some Conuntlrums.

At the late annual meeting of the
Wisconsin State Farmers Alliance a
motion was carried unanimously that
the following questions be submitted
to all candidates for congressional and
legislative offices:
"Will you commit yourself to support
the following propositions if elected:
The abolition of national banks and the
substitution of legal tender treasury
notes, said notes to be in sufficient guam
tity for the transaction of the business
of the country; the enactment of such
laws as shall effectually prevent the
dealing in futures on all agricultural
and mechanical products; free and un-
limited coinage of silver; the enactment
of laws prohibiting alien ownership OF
land; that all national revenues shall be
limited to the necessary expenses OF
government economically administered
that the Interstate commerce law be
maintained and strengthened until our
means of transportation shall be oper.
ated in the interests of the people.

A WOnan's Age.

To tell a woman's age is one of the
easiest things imaginable, despite the
fact that many brilliant ladies knock off
a few stories of their years without de-
lection.
Observe well her hair!
Her bangs? No; her back hair!
Now, don't say it is false. Raise OF
real, you can count her years by the
threads time weaves. Every year adds
hair or two, and no doubt ifa woman
lived long enough she would become a
female Esau.
AT twenty-five woman's back hair
begins to fall over her collar as a
pumpkin vine over a picket fence
Note well the direction of the hair
Hair slants, and at thirty it takes an
angle of 80, at thirty-five 60, and SO on.
Of course you can't get near enough
to apply methematic tape measure
But your practised eye win be enough.
Next note the quality. Hair at
twenty-five is MORE, at thirty it is
sateen, at thirty five it is passe satinette
at forty it is rope fit to hang any man
that gets noosed in its meshes.
Anybody can tell false or store hair
no matter who the previous owner
was. It has q doesn't -beaong-thers
look, and III the pomades IN the uni.

4 strcet-Car Pantomi

You can see very fair pantom In a
broadway car any day, says th sew
York Times. The woman who stands
on the sidewalk and sets her parasol to
going up and down like the walking
beam of steamer wants to stop the
car. Everybody recognizes the sign
Then the woman who gets off the car
with a fiery glance at the conductor and
an aggressive shrug of the shoulders as
she pulls her skirts out of the mud,
means, as plainly as ifshe said it, 3You,
out of the evil that is in your heart,
have carried me a block too far. You
should:perish from the face of the earth.
Why don. you?"
Similarly the man who sits down in a
corner and sticks his feet where they
will do the most tripping up means, II
am entitled to a lot of room and
mean to get it." But the other day
there came passenger who went way
out of the usual run of pantomimists.
He was thin and wild-loOking, but well
dressed. He took seat on the sunny
side of the car, and in jiffy his arms
were in motion. Apparently he was
making speech without words.
AS the silent oratiOn progressed the
man grew excited. Turning to his
neighbor at his left, he made him the
subject of his discourse. He seemed to
be pleading with him to reform his
ways. The neighbor looked embar-
rassed; the other passengers suppressed
smiles with more or less success. Then
the man went on with his gestures, get
ting more and more excited. Now and
then he rose to his feet and stood until
a jolt of the car sent him back to his
seat. But he was getting to the end of
his peroration, and suddenly, with q
sweeping gesture, the speech was ended.
The man sank back in his seat and
pulled cigarette from his pocket, while
the satisfied look came over his face
that one sees on the cOuntenance of a
baShful terdinner orator when he
hears the applause at the end of his
address.
just then truck driver tried to cut
across the track ahead of the car, and
the driver of the latter vehicle put on
his brakes with all his might. The car
stopped suddenly and the shock brought
the pantomimist to his senses. He rose
hastily, mumbled something that
sounded like an apology to his neighbor,
and got out of the car with all possible
speed. The neighbor's expression was
a choice blending OF disgust and relief.

Birmingham Baths.

The city supports four public swim
ming baths in buildings, and one open
air swimming bath at Small Heath
Park. The lighthouses are imposing
buildings of better than more tasteful
designing. They cost variously,. from
S5O,OOO to 100000 (e15,OO0 to 928,-
OOO), and offer larger swimming facil-
tiles than the people of New York city
ever possessed within-doors in public
or private baths, along-shore or in
town. The tanks are lined with tiling,
and the water, clear as crystal, is OBJ
tanned from artesian wells. One of
these tanks, for instance, measures
eighty-one feet by thirty-two feet and
the water has depth of from four to
six feet. Two of the lighthouses con-
tain the rooms and appurtenances for
Turkish bathing; for which shilling
twenty-four cents) is charged if all
the routine of rubbing, needle, douche.
and plunge bathing, with the use of
private dressing-rooms and lounge
rooms, is undergone. A simpler
Turkish bath, without rubbing can be
had for sixpelicc Twelve cents) Each
batn-house has iirst-class and second
class swim:ning tanks. 1t costs Six
pence to take u frst-ciaSs swim, with
two towels and private dressing room
free, and charge of an axtra penny
for mans bathing dress, or three
pence for dress for q woman. In the
second-class departments twopence
-four cents) is charged for Il bath with.
out private dressing-room. An extra
penny procures that desirable luxury.
All these baths are set apart for women
at certain hours. Special rates are
made for schools and for swimming
clubs. Professional bathing masters
are allowed to teach in them. The
swimming tanks are fitted with diving
platforms, trapezes, and showering ap-
paratus. They are as clean and tidy
as Holland kitchens, and they are SO
beautiful as to rank among the high
shOw-places of the city.-JI!llian Ralph

The state school Funds.

The late apportionment of the
public school fund was the largest
ever made in the State. After
paying interest on the Seminary
fund, the assessors, and all other
dues, there remained sos, 600 in
net cash to be apportioned to the
parishes. After the first quarters
collection in April there will be
another apportionment, which it is
fair to infer will be of material
help to the schools as the pros
porous condition of the State
finances, and the close collections
being made, justify the expectation
of a liberal influx into the school
fund. With this increase ofmoney,
and the gradual improvement and
perfecting of the public school sys-
tenn, the people of Louisiana bid
fair to enjoy better schools and
longer sessions Of instruction This
is most pleasing and important
stride of progress, and speaks we'll
for the administration of our State
affairs.

A severe storm swept over the
central and southern States on the
25th and Goth of February, destroy
ing much property and causing loss
of life in two or three places. The
cold snap of the last few days is
the direct cause of the disturbed
state of the elements from this
storm.
