There seems to De some feeling about
the recent High School popularity con-
test. An item was published in yester-
days SUNDAY MORNING NEWS tending to
show that Miss Weiin, the second in
number of votes. was pretty nearly as
popular as the winner. To this some one
signing himself or herself IL Myers" re-
plies as follows:-
The contest for the position of the most
popular Young lady IN the High School
has been won by Miss Lillian Myers with
honor, she being in the lead ali through
the contest. IL can be plainly seen that
Miss Wedin would not have received as
many votes as she did had IL not been
that Miss Wards votes were combined
with hers. Such being the case, Miss
Myers led her competitor by 4S1 votes, 47s
being the number of votes Miss Ward
turned over TO Miss Wedin. A great num-
Der of votes for Miss Myers are still neld
by Miss Ketehun. Owing to the limited
time, they were not ready to be cast.
Miss Myers has won the contest by votes
from the young ladies and gentlemen OF

local questions
Politics and Smoke.

Although the price of cigars and
tobacco Is to be increased to the Amer
lean consumer, in consequence OF the
Mckinley tariff, we do not observe
that the operatives are to gain any
particular advantage. The amount
in which smokers are mulcted will go
in part into the national treasury to
help pay pensions and subsidies for
the benefit of the Republican party,
and In part into the pockets Of the
manufacturers, who already make
huge profits.
Ii any American interest would be
served by the tariff, there might be
some excuse for the tax which is
levied practically on the whole male
population. But protection will not
make Connecticut soil grow Havana
tobacco, nor will it make the Connec-
ticut weed assume the flavor OF the
Cuban in the mouth Of the consumer.
The tariff simply takes every man
who smokes by the throat and says TO
him, ssYou must either pay a higher
price or smoke an inferior article"
In the case OF manufactured goods
it may be pretended that the develop
ment of the home manufactures will
presently operate to reduce prices,
in other words that while the
tariff shuts out foreign competition
it enables the native producer to sell
cheap. But the interposition of such
plea in regard to tobacco or other ar
ticles which are dependent for their
quality not on human skill but on
natural conditions OF soil and climate,
is simply an assumption that the
American people are fools, and any
nonsense Is good enough to delude
them.
The cry after the late election was,
s'TheNWomen Did It." Next Novem-
Der the iflen will take a hand in de-
termining the result. If cheap but
tons and ribbons are dear TO the
female heart, the average man at
taches more Importance to the quality
and price of his cigar than he does to
the health and comfort of his mother
in-law. He will be apt to enter up
every extra sent he has to pay for his
daily smoke, and make the Republi-
can party pay it with compound in
terest on Election day.
THERE is an interview with General

made a clean administration"
No? Well that is strange. We had
a general idea that the scandals of
Mr.. Harrison's administration had
occupied a large share of the public
attention for the last two years.
Was Corporal Tanner the product
of a clean administration?
Is General Raum the product of a
clean administration?
Is John Wanamaker a clean and
decent thing, the adornment of a
clean administration?
Is Mr.. Census Porter the officer of a
clean administration?
These may all be lovely and up
right; but it does not look to us as if
the general public so regarded them.

The Pose of the Head.

The head is the crown piece of the
human statue, and is usually in good
proportion and capable of proper
poise, but a head we'll set and sus-
tanned in due height above the shout
ders is a rare sight. A woman of large
full physique will diminish and make
herself almost insignificant by a for
ward stretch and crane of the neck,
or a contracted tuck down between
the shoulders, when her whole effort
should be to extend and lengthen the
support OF the head, and to give the
full effect OF it's size. The tall slender
woman, whose head should stand
like the bell ON the stalk of a
lily, gets an idea that she accen-
tuates her height by an upright
poise, end is therefore seen with a
continued bend of the body and turn
of the head to one side, which give
her an expression of sympathetic or

The importance of neat and taste

mated. The matron who appears be-
fore the members OF the family in &
shabby soiled wrapper and makes the
excuse, IL indeed she takes the trouble
TO make one at all, that lit is so much
more comfortable" has little idea OF
the possible consequence OF such a
course. Could she but realize that
her dress is an evil example to her
daughters, and productive of con-
sequences that will reach far beyond
her span OF lie; that her hus-
band and sons cannot fail to draw
comparisons between her dress and
that Of the ladies they meet in other
homes, and that these comparisons
cannot fail to decrease their respect
for her, she might be induced to give
more attention to her personal APP
pearance.
Not even the burden of care and
constant employment can furnish q
sufficient excuse for careless personal
habits, for few things are more i'm
portant to the well being of a family.
There Is an old saying to the effect
that an untidy mother has disobedi-
ent children, and while neither par
ents nor children may realize the why

a lack of respect and an indifference
to the authority OF a mother who
takes no pride in her personal appear

And it is not the mother alone upon
whose sholders rests the burden OF

Society Disappearing.

In this democratic nineteenth CEN
fury, society," in the old and aristo-
cratic sense of the term, is disappear
ing. People of a certain class and
certain means do certain things at
certain times because other people of
the same class and The same means do
likewise. There is a universal ten
dency toward the equalization of
luxury and of the exterior manifesto
tions of refinement. Social habits are
formed on the models established by
two or three great centres of civiliza-

How to Accept Presents.
At the holiday season the giving of
gifts is prevalent. Now everybody
can give sweetly. graciously and low
ingiy. How many a accept in the
same spirit? | felt last year that there
was a thread of coarseness in the girl
who, looking at a fine book that had
been sent her by friend, said, "Oh,
dear. l suppose / shall have TO get her
something in return for itIn That's
barter and exchange. 1t isn't giving.
Nothing was to be sent in return Tor
the book unless it were the sweetest
of thanks, and the mere fact OF the
acceptance OF q gift does not force
upon you its return.
Gift giving is like love, the desire is
supposed to come from the heart, and
no gift is worth anything unless it is
sent with that feeling and that only.
But then you think you are to accept
and never to return? My dearest
girl, we never know how we return
things in this world, but everything
does equalize itself. You have been
a charming companion, and have
frightened many a moment TO a
woman whose purse is better filled
than yours. She sends you when a
Christmas Day comes, some dainty
present, some pretty trifie that she
knows you will like, a book about
which you have talked, or a picture
that you have admired; the return
you make should be your thanksgiv-
ing. and that is all. Your gift of a
joyful presence was made long before
the material one. l do not e by
this that the woman who is not rich
must not give-God forbid it
but l do mean she must not
think Of attempting to return at once
the gift that has come to her 1t is
vulgar, my dear. Wait until another
gift day comes round, and then give
something that expresses yourself,
the child of your brain and your
fingers, rather than of your purse.
After all, Emerson struck the key
note of gift giving when he said,
Our gifts are for the most part ex-
pressless. Let the sailor bring a sea
shell, the poet a poem and the
painter a picture" and these are the
gifts that, being part of yourself, may
be received as OF greater value than
anything which money could obtain.

Where Widows Have a Hard Time.
Widows as a privileged class are
known only in Europe and America.
In Asia they have a hard time of it.
Among the Hindus every misfortune
Is supposed to be consequence OF mis-
deeds in a former state of existence,
and, as the loss of a husband is a
great misfortune, it is supposed by
both the sufferer and the public that
the wife has done something to de-
serve the punishment. Her friends
and relatives proceed to further the
designs of Providence by adding to
her woe every possible indignity. Her
head is shaved, she is allowed only
the poorest food and clothes. and Is
forced to devote her time to mental
services. Even when a sufficient
property in her own right reseues her
from some of these dicomforts the
disgrace and obloquy attaching to her
position make her lot almost unbear-
