The renowned British museum, an
immense store house of about every
thing under the sun, was organized in
1853, so that its development has been
truly at a snail's pace. In this country,
says the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
there are several similar institutions
that carry the honor of age without hav-
ing yet reached, by a good deal, the
limit of their capabilities. The Philo-
sophical Society, of Philadelphia, pub
lished its Introductory volume in 1909,
the Academy of Natural Science, in the
same city, was organized in 1912, and
the Lyceum of Natural History, of New
York, had an organization in 1877. In
Boston there is the Academy of Arts
and Sciences, that has been in exist
ance over century, but neither this
or the others mentioned fill the place OF

FASHIONS FANCIES.
Some Novelties Considered CONNIE
Faut at the Present Time.

Golden-brown cloth is pretty for a
child's or infants cloak lined with OIL
pink.
Peach color with pistache is favorite
combination among well-kept and we'll
groomed women.
The midsummer hats show relief in
that beautiful and costly ostrich tips
take the place of spring flowers.
White birch is favorite for bedroom
furniture. Against a mating of yellow
and pink it is exceedingly pleasing.
Some of the new bassinets are made
of gilded, silvered and frosted willow,
similar to the baskets in the flower
shops.
Black mourning handkerchief of pom

cessories of the toilet.
Crepe de Chine of lustreless black is
the favorite morning dress. This may
be had in crinkled, striped, spotted or
| lowered surface.
Jerseys are worn considerably in the
country, in the house and any place but
the public street. Silk sleeves are added
collar.
Mothers who care to make baby
clothes can buy the yokes for long and
short dresses. They vary in price from
40 cents to S., according to the amount
and quality of work on them.
Standing frills of lace are substituted
for high collars and there are finger
deep ruifles of mousseline de sole to be
sewed in the dress and turned back to
display the entire throat
Regular ballroom toilets, cut walking
length and made with long sleeves and
high corsage, are seen daily at the races.
The effect in the grand-stand is gay
enough, but taste suffers.
All the world of fashion, from the
toddler to the agile beau of sixty, has
klken to the blazer. The colors are those
Of the festive jockey and the cap is al
most as ubiquitous as the blouse.
If woman only knows how to sew
she can buy dresses by the dozen at a
dollar apiece. This means a cheese
cloth, tennis cloth, gingham, barred
muslin, challie or cambria, the very
thing for hot weather.
Some mousquetalre gloves In twelve
button lengths have been brought out in
impossible colors, embroidered along
the back and vandyked at the edge.
They are likely to be worn by the mil
lion, but not by the exclusive.
The bridal robe worn by the Princess
de Caraman Chimay, nee Ella Ward,
was of white satin fourreau covered
with point lace. About the hem was
fringe of orange blossoms, over which
fell "a flounce of lace. Being very slen-
der, she wore a scarf of white China
Grape knotted at the waist and long
veil enveloped the whole trousseau.
Bamboo racks to hold magazines,
books, papers or pictures come in vari-
Gus sizes and designs, and are stained in
natural wood colors or treated with
metal paint. These are convenient and
pretty for decoration of country houses
and seaside cottages, for, like the beach
chair, they can be left any place. 1t is
common to hang them on portico or

1t has been decided that the thrushes
carry the typical form rather than the
birds of prey, as commonly believed,
and show the highest ideal Of bird
organization. The place OF honor is
given to the wood thrush, the delightful
songster of the woodland, and one OF
the most common birds in this region
during the warmer months. He has
the reputation of being only heard, not
often seen, but visitors at Forest Park

BILE piece of architecture now being con-
structed at San Sebastian, Manila 1t
is an edifice entirely of iron, wrought
and cast, and securely bolted together,
and is to be an earthquake proof church.
1t is the idea of Senior Don Genera Pala-
clos y Guerra, chief engineer of the
public works of Manila, and planner of
that city's excellent system of water
works, who has conceived building not
to be shaken apart by the dread ''terre-
m0t0," as 50 many of the churches and
cathedrals of stone and wood have been.
The design is original, with two tall
steeples at the front end and shorter
spires over each abutment 1t will be
painted to initiate stone. Inside, the
church is one hundred and sixty-two
feet long, by seventy feet wide, the
height to the top of the arches is fifty
two feet, and it is thirty-four feet to the
spring Of the arches; the nave is span
of thirty-two feet, and there are two
side aisles. The entire framework is
of wrought iron bolted together in the
firmeSt manner possible, the futed
columns and buttresses being hollow
The walls are of double plate-iron with
space of thirty inches between the
plates. The decorative work, which is
quite elaborate, is, of cast iron. About
sixteen hundred tons is the total weight
of iron in the building, about one-quar-
ter of the weight os material in the
Eiffei tower.-Demorest's Monthly.

nearly fifty years, and the few specimens
now in possession of museums are re-
garded as extremely valuable. The
price paid for this specimen in 1868 was
1925. The species was abundant in the
waters of the northeastern coast as far
south as Nahant, and on Audubon's bay
was remembered as not at all rare.
Forty specimens only are known to sci
ence, four of them being in museums in
this country. Several young marine
birds are here represented, such as the
Mother Carey's chicken.
The birds of South America are next
arranged, where will be seen the same
classification, the thrushes Of that coun.
try leading. 1t will prove instructive to
compare the family group Of individual
species with those Of other countries.
Although the birds Of South America
are the more brilliant in color, other
countries show varieties quite as inter.
esting in other respects. The bell
bird utters notes that clearly simulate
the tones of convent bell heard at a
distance. The elongated waffle on its
beak is hollow, and connected with the
nostrils, and is thought to be instrument
tai in the production of the strange
notes.

like form, having long e tusk,
which has earned for it the = of sea
unicorn, is, perhaps, one of the most in.
teresting examples; its skull, with the
single long tusk, is in the collection.
Through some freak of nature, one tusk
of the narwhal is arrested in growth,
while the other becomes so bulky that
there appears to be but one and cen.

tooth remains undeveloped. Instances
are given attesting the enormous power
of the creature; the planking Of vessels
is shown, having the tusk of the mar
whal projecting half its length on the
inner side.
The Dos family, according to late
classification, embraces great numbers
of familiar and strange forms. The col.
lection of antelopes claims more time
than can be given in one visit. The
saga, or Siberian antelope, is remark
able, both for the extreme beauty of its
lyre-shaped horns and for being the only
antelope found in the cold regions. II

physicians to this question: (which of
the alcoholic liquors is, in your opinion,
the least injurious as beverage for a
man who must drink, or who thinks he
must?" The replies at least agree in
intimating that any man who thinks he
must drink is in peril of becoming a
drunkard. The majority of them con-
slider any habitual use of alcoholic liquors
as injurious. The consensus of their
advice to healthy people is to let alco-
holic liquors alone.

ENLOE IND M'CogNELL.

Alarge andenthusiastic audience
assembled at the courthouse last
Tuesday afternoon to hear Hon. t.
M. Mcconnell and Congressman
B. A. ENLoE ON the political issues
Of the day.
I, G. Rye, esq, introduced Mr..
Mcconnell in a few appropriate
and eloquent words.
Mr.. MCCONNELL spoke Of the
satisfaction il gave him to meet the
people Of Benton County; and for
two hours he spoke on State and
National issues. He made an elo-
quent and logical talk, and from
the plain manner in which he show
ed how the Republican party had
legislated in favor of the few and
against the many we can not help
but feel that his talk will be the
means of bringing out an increased
Democratic vote in this countynext
Tuesday.
Congressman ENLoE followed in
lengthy speech. He spoke of his
denomination by the Democracy
of the Eighth district, and how he
had discharged the duties given
him. He referred to the proceed
ings Of the present Congress and
REEDS rulings, and denounced
them as outrages. The necessity
of admitting new territories to
maintain protection principles was
referred to, showing how necessary
it was for the force bill to pass and
Wyoming and Idaho to be admit
ted and REEDS rulings to prevail
in order to maintain the crime OF
protection forever. The aims and
interests Of protection we're given,
and the people were advised to
make up their minds before next
+
Tuesday whether to continue to
give it encouragement.
His speech was the strongest and
most effective of the campaign, and
the people Of the Eighth district
will show their appreciation of his
services at the ballot-box on next
Tuesday by returning him to Con
gress by an increased majority.

TUESDAYS ELECTION.

From the State elections next
Tuesday much is expected to cheer
Democracy on to victory in 1892.
Hope lives eternal in the Demo-
cratic breast, and the party of the
people is gaining new strength ev-
cry day, and while there may be no
decisive victory, there will be evil
dence that tariff reform issues are
making inroads on Republican
strength, and that the war issues
are losing their effect with the la
borers and farmers Of the North
and Northwest.
In New York the Democrats are
confident Of carrying the general
assembly that has been SO long Re-
publican by gerrymandered dis
tricts. In Michigan the BENNETT
law is the main issue between the
two parties, and it is confidently
thought that the Democrats will
win. We believe that the Ohio
Democracy will triumph, In Iowa
and Nebraska the disgust Of Re

Hypocrisy in passing the MoKIN-
LEY bill as means of relief for the
farmers gives the Democrats a good
