$40 SUIT S.

The facts concerning these $40
suits that are stirring up the trade
elements are prinsa facie." Their
excellence is visible in every stitch,
in every curve. We've claimed for
them the equality Of the most OF
SIS and SIS creations that one sees
in a days looking. The facts sub
stantiate the claim, else we wouldn't
make it. They're $40 suits-but
they're $40 suits only because we've
marked them at that. We bought
them so that we could afford to do
it. and it would be almost criminal
blindness to our duty to our patrons
not to share such benefits with
them. That's why they're only
$40. Cassimeres and cheviots-
touch 'em, they feel like SIS and
SIS suits. Try 'em On-they fit as
the best. Examine the making
and trimming-they show the care
and style of just what they are
better than their price 80 per cent.
Sack or Frock suits, with light or
dark effects, in full or half lining.

TO REPORT TO THE BOARD.

After the opinion Of the City Attorney
was read the Chairman was instructed TO
report to the Board of Aldermen at its
meeting on Monday night that the joint
committee have carefully considered the
subject referred to them, but that by :he
opinion of the City Attorney they are
estopped from further consideration of the
subject under the resolution under which
they are now acting.
TAKE ANOTHER TURN.
The committeeman, City Attorney. and
City Engineer are in full sympathy with
the petition of the association, and the
question will be renewed in some shape
that will probably enable the association
to get possession of the building eventually.

As the third reason why we should per-
petuate the memory of the Confederate
dead, DR.. Goodwin said the honor and fu-
ture safety of our country demand that
our Confederate dead shall be recognized.
The war had to come. II had its origin
far back in English history. The cause of
it was intensified by the climate, the soil,
the history. and the genius of the two
great contending parties. The Con-
principles which the sword alone
could settle. From the very begin
ming of the Government slavery and
State sovereignty were the sources of
perpetual agitation. The North misunder-
stood the South and the South misunder-
stood the North. Each hated the other
each moderated the courage of the other ;
but since they have looked into each
others faces down the barrel Of their guns
they understand each other better Neither
now doubts the courage nor the manhood
OF the other. The war has settled those
agitating questions, thrown the past
forever behind us, and opened the
way for mutual confidence and mu-
tual devotion to the Union.n The
speaker then went on TO show that
had the South submitted to the demands
of the North without stuggle she would
have lost her honor and forfeited her self.
respect. With her honor gone the South
would have lost forever her prestige and
her glory. 1t is the consciousness of duty
well performed that has supported our
people in their trials and grievances and
has animated US in our efforts to rebuild .
higher and better civilization
In conclusion the Doctor said the safety
of the republic demands that we honor
our dead. The principles for which we
fought will live as long as liberty has q

The remarks were frequently applauded
and when no took his seat DR.. Goodwin
was warmly congratulated by his friends

Facts Worth Knowing.

Egg stains can be removed by rub
bing them with common table salt.
To keep flies off gilt frames boil
three or four onions in pint of water
then apply with a soft brush to the
frames.
When whalebones have become bent
they may be used again by first soak
ing them in tepid water for a few
hours, and then drying them.
Lamp-wicks must be changed often
to insure good light, as they will soon
become clogged, and the oil does not
pass through them freely. A clear
fame will be certain if the wicks are
soaked in vinegar "a hours before
using.
When washing windows, looking
glasses. ETC., be sure to put a little am
monia in the water. This will save
labor, and clean them much more
effectively, giving as well a much finer
polish For general cleaning, am
monia in the water will remove dirt,
smoke, grease, etc., much better than
anything else.
Do not wash combs unless absolutely
necessary. Water will make the teeth
split and the comb rough. Small
brushes, which are made for the pur-
pose of cleaning combs, are easily
obtained at little expense, and with
one of these the comb may be thor
oughly cleansed, wiping well and fol-
lowing with a soft cloth afterwards

Bake EN-.

1t is now canning time, and | recent
ly remarked to the wife of micro
scopist and entomologist, that though
l had cupboard full of empty cans, !
could not use them and be sure their
contents would keep unspoiled. l was
obliged to buy new ones every year. "
She said she was surprised at that. "
Yes" l said. II have faithfully tried
the methods minutely detailed, and
yet, as a family, we are continually
eating our canned fruits when we do
not want them. because they are be-
ginning to ferment." She thought a
moment and then replicd: My hus-
band bakes his glass cans in hot
oven, and also their lids. One germ
left will spread and spoil all. Baking
kills the germs. Having baked your
bers for them, you will be as well off
as if you bought new cans each year" "

The End of the World.

The nebula in Orion, Saturn, and
the moon are indeed suggestive of
change-types, they may be called of
the first stage. the middle, and the last
that matter passes through in the long
process of the evolution of worlds.
And, of all changes. that change has
most interest for us which affects our
own planet the earth; it has reached
later stage than Saturn, though not
SO late stage as the moon; but only
in long ages and by minute effects will
further change be noticed.
Ages hence it may be discovered that
there is some slight' change in the
earth's orbit; or Mercury. yet nearer
the sun than we. may be seen to pur-
sue a smaller orbit than now, and the
terrible fact may come home to man
that we are drawing nearer to the
sun. Time goes on, and the cooler
regions find a welcome change to
warmth.
Age by age goes by, and the end is
visibly, no nearer; but the figures of
astronomers only too surely tell their
tale.
Now the tropics are an impossible
desert and all the life on the globe
congregates around the poles; Spain
has lost her vineyards and the Alps
their snow; England is burning
desert and Greenland teens with the
vegetatation of the tropics; in smaller
and smaller circles the inhabitants
gather round the poles. But" to
quote the words of Mr.. Keighley Miller,
.the narrowed limits of the habitable
earth can no longer support this vast
increase of population, and famine be-
gins to NOW down it's victims by mill
ions.
..Now, indeed, the end of all life on
the earth draws on apace.
The heat and drought become more
insupportable; rain and dew fall
no longer. All springs of water fail.
and the rivers dwindle down to stream
lets, and trickle slowly over their stony
beds, aud now scarcity of water is add
ed to the scarcity of food. Those who
escape from the famine perish by the
drought, and those who escape from
the drought are reserved for fate
more awful yet. For time the few
remaining inhabitants are partially
screened from the overwhelming pow
er of the sun by dense canopy of
clouds formed by the evaporation of
every lake and sea.
but soon the sun scorches up these
vapor banks and dissipates them into
space as fast as they can form. Then
the fiery orb shines out in unutterable
splendor without the lightest cloud
wreath to interpose between himself
and his victims. Then the last deni-
zens of the world are stricken down
and consumed; the last traces of or
ganic life are blotted from its surface. p"

Cuban Women's Eyes.

The Cuban woman goes through the
world in an easy, shiftless sort of a
way, lounges only too gracefully in a
hammock or lolls in her rocking>chair,
her mind intent on only one idea-how
to keep cool says an exchange. The
grace of the woman is set off by the
marvellous way with which she uses her
fan. Not for moment is it at rest;
it futters, waves idly, is opened and
shut in the space of second. falls to
the side and again rises to take part in
the conversation. The type of the
face which beams above every fan in
Cuban high life is difficult to describe.
The complexion varies from olive to
white; deep black hair is the preva-
lent hue; but the eyes! Luminous,
dreamy, so large, dark and vivid. La
senorita, with her certain childlike
frankness, but with provoking rich
ness and fire of nature in her features,
ensnares many hearts as she sits at
her open window twirling her fan and
watching the curling smoke from her
cigarette, and, while she is kept under
the strietest surveillance, she is wo-
man and romantic, and many are the
proofs that "stone walls do not prison

They Wear Big Hats.

At Amman, an empire occupying the
eastern portion CT the Chinese
Peninsula, with population of 15, 900.
600, men and women wear their hair
in the same way and dress almost alike,
saws the st. Louis GL06e-Den0cYat5.
Like the man the woman wears a tur-
ban, long tunic. wide, loose trousers,
and a bright sash, the ends falling be-
low the knees. The physiognomy is
almost the same, as the men are beard
less and have their hair done up like
the women. The only clew 10. dis
tinguish them is the earrings and finger
rings, worn by women only. The
earrings are like double shirt studs, and
among the lower orders are CT colored
glass. The wives and daughters ot
mandarins alone are allowed to veal
gold jewelry. The rings are of spiral
wire, fitting tight and standing out tc
some height. Some women of the up.
per class wear also necklaces of strings
of gold or silver beads.
The hat of the woman is monu.
mental. 1t is like a large barrel cover
three-quarters of yard in diameter
Six OF seven silk cords as thick as 6
quill are fastened on each side, and
when worn fall down below the waist
Where the ends are fastened to the hal
on each side is huge black or brown
silk tassel. Some of these hats are ar.
tistically made of carefully selected
palm leaves and lined with neatly
plated flag leaves. These are expen
sive, especially when they have chiselet
silver clasps at the tassels. Many
women faslen little round mirror in
the hat, before which they arrange
their turban when they go to town.
The hat is the article most priced by
the stylish ladies. and often costs ST.
or $15.
