Beauty and Comfort in Dress.

The great desire of women to be pretty
is accompanied by longing to be comfort
| able, and if she has sense, she can and
ought to be both. Every woman cannot
| be queenly in stature and ofperfect mould,
every woman cannot have soft, delicate
| skin, cheeks like peaches, lips like cherries
in hue, and great expressive eyes hidden
under long iashes. nor can she have
wealth of beautiful hair. In short every
woman cannot be the ideal of the novel
writer. but every woman can be pretty, if
! she Will. She can keep herself clean, so
| that the blue veins will show through the
skin. she can keep her fngernails from
being receptacle for collected filth, she
can thus have a fresh, clear complexion,
with inviting hands and lips and teeth
! She can care tor her hair, by brushing and
washing so that it will be an addition to
! her beauty, she can keep her teeth white
| and pleasing, and when she has made the
best she can of herself, she will see In the
| glass pretty woman
To be pretty. care of self is essential.
The secret is only attained, when the per-
feet organism of the body Is realized, and
the fact that neglect of one S person In any
respect. hurts the whole being, 1t Is essen
tial that baths should be taken regularly,
that proper food and drink be taken at
regular intervals and that proper attention
lie given to breathing, carriage OF the
body and habits of exercise. But all this
while true, is trifle aside from talk on
dress
Women have a decided aversion to any
style Of dress that shall make them less
beautiful and indeed have been willing
through the years to sacrifice comfort to
beauty. either real or fancied. but now the
desire to be comfortable Is so strong that
it seems likely to predominant IN the con-
f1ict Meanwhile women of sense are IN
ctined to feel that there need be no con-
ffict and that both may be attained at the
same time. While the advantages of
balmoraIs. knickerbockers and divided
skirts are being discussed by those who
are in the lead in the matter of dress re-
form. those not quite ready to adopt any
of these extremes. owe to themselves GER
tain restrictions IN dress.
First. the garment should fit not too
loosely and certainly not too snugiy. They
should alU avs be of as light weight as
possible. and then 80 contrlved as to Sc
cure the greatest possible warmth in
winter. and a desirable degree Of GOODNESS
in summer In selecting garments they
should be carefully chosen with the view
to having the weight distributed upon the
person. or to have the greatest weight
come upon the shoulders rather than the
hi,s. Much trimming. because Of its
weight. Is specially TO be avoided The
same Is true of the heaviest oraIds, al
though in less degree. and when choice Of
a bo6net or hat Is made, it should In every
instance be one that Is light and dainty.
Whatever the past decisions may have
been. in choosing for the spring, let these
conditions be kept In view.

THE VOLCANO SAOULDERNC
Labor Troubles in Germany Assuming
Grave Proportions.
The Demonstration for Way First
Alarming the Authorities.
Emperor William Instructs the Police
to be on the Alert.

BERLIN. April 26.-Copyright. 1890. by
the New York Associated PresS-The en-
peror has telegraphed instructions to Chan
cellor Caprivi regarding the attitude of
the authorities throughout the country
toward the May Day celebrations. Re-
ports from populous centerS show that the
authorities in some places are
preparing to suppress public demons
tratlons by the use of soldiers.
In other places they are combining them
selves to issuing warnings against the ex-
cesSes the chancellor has made by arrange
ments to secure unity of action between
the various authorities. Although rs ex-
pected IN official circles, the days pass over
quietly, every precaution is taken for the
prompt suppression of disorders. The
troops are kept within their barracks in
| order to avoid a collision with those
taking part in the celebrations but are
| ready for action when required.
| The socialist leaders here continue to in
| tiuence the men against the suspension OF
work. Bebel Liebknecht and Singer.
| through the central committee of the party
are actively operating to revent manifesto
| tions. Nothing like unanimous demon
stration Throughout Germany is now
possible. Workingmen are found
| everywhere who differ with these desiring
to make demonstration The tendency
among the workingmen in Berlin is to
work half a day ON May l. The social
lists of Hamburg, Altoona, Leipsig and
! Frankfort persist in organizing dem
| onstrstlons. The labor agitation apart
from May day becomes more and
more threatening. The papers opposed to
the socialist reforms of the emperor point
to the growth of excitement among the
working men since the publication of the
imperial preScripts. As the moment for
the emperor $ journey to Berlin approach
I ed the employees on the RAILWAYS on which
he was to travel struck for higher wages
Men from other lines had to work on the
trains. The strikes that have taken place
here this week include shoemakers, stouelay-
ers, coopers, screw makers, furniture polish
| ers, trainmen and box makers. tinsmiths.
| locksmlths, printers, machinists, copper
smiths, and Il number of minor trades
| Reports from Frankfort. Breslau, Elber-
field and Hamburg show the strike mania
| to be universal.
An omnibus feature of the shoe makers
| strike here has been the issue of a violent
manifesto in which the existing social
order is denounced The emperor s
rescriptS are attacked as useless.
Norkmen as a dominant force, the mani
fssto says, ought to overturn and renovate
society. The Evangelical congress meets
here May q, to discuss the strikes and its
| protection of the workmen, and the posi-
ton of the Christian socialists toward the
democratic host.

What Choir Singers Are paid.
IIa,Na 1nnrronl

A soprano, in an average city, will be
paid, as a beginner, anywhere from $500 to
$500 per annum. AS she becomes better
known and is in more thorough command
of her voice, she will average from $500
to $500. Boston pays about 5000 per an
mum better to choir singers than any other
city in my knowledge. Several sopranos
there receive yearly salaries of 81 900 and
81 200. and few 81 500.
A woman with a good COntralto voice
will begin at an annual salary OF $500
which, if she is successful, may raise to an
average of $500 There are two churches
in Philadelphia | believe, which pay their
contratOs $500; but this IN cities outside
of Boston, which as with sopranos, aver
age about 5000 higher is unusual. And
every genuine alto-that rarest of things
in these days-will command but from
$500 to $500 per annum. The Hub, OF
course, does better than this, by adding
5000; but even with this addition, none of
these salaries appear precisely extravaganza,
or to admit of much luxury in living, and
salaries are rarely increased. Should a
rival church make an offer for voice, if
the first church is DESTROYS of retaining IT.
the rival price is overbid, and the voice
retained.
Bnt this is the only reason, OF which
have knowledge, for increasing salaries.
However, it must be remembered that
this salary is paid for singing only at two
services. and for attendance at one or two
reheasals a week. All the rest of the
singer time is her own to dispose of as
she pleases. Proven she is an apt pupil to
her own master, he will send to her. for
instruction, scholars whom he has not the
time to teach. Or she may secure engage
ments to sing at different church concerts,
or. laying aside her music, may take to
sewing, painting, decorating, or any of
the many ways in which girls are able to
make a living. No work must be under
taken which will in any way conflict with
the choir singing, for this, remember is
the reason of her existence. She is first
and before all else singer; that is her
profession. Let this never be forgotten

Digging Up the Remains of a Leviathan OF
Former Ages

A good deal of intereet was aroused last
week by the finding of the bones of a mon
strOus animal in a cutting that was being
made by Contractor Fred Mauty at a point
about ten miles north of Fort Collins in the
Box Elder country. The bones were found

thirty inches in thickness, which rests up
on bed of coarse, compact red gravel,
mixed with waterwashed powders
Above the bed of fine sand is layer of
stiff. blue clay about 10 feet thick. Near
lY all the bones found were so badly decOm-
posed as to Crumbe when handled; the
teeth, however. six of which were found.
were very perfectly preserved, the largest
tooth weighing about AZ pounds. The
bones of one foot were discovered so well
! preserved that they could be placed In a
position and give fair idea of the size of
the animal. They are on exhibition at
Llndenmeter store. The markings on
| the teeth show the animal to have been a
mastOdOn. The monster is known to have
| been an herblveTOus animal related to the
elephant of to-day, and a native of Coun-
| tries enjoying warm climate. The stu
| dent of science finds in these remains of
early occupants of our earth food for much
! thought. The nature of the soil in which
this specimen is found shows that at some
time there has been body of water where
there are now dry prairies; the stratihca-
| ton of the sand proves it to have been
| standing water; the everything clay tells of
| the decomposition of immense beds of alum
mum bearing rocks, the debris of which
has filed the lake, covering the animal
remains which strewed the beach; the
bones assure us that these cold and bar
rem plains once enjoyed at least a subtrop-
ical climate and were dressed in tropical
verdure of forest and jungle. We can not

mastodon and his associates trod these
now extinct forests; we may not be allow

found. but our horizon is widened, and
our admiration for the great book of ma
ture is increased by these occasional
glimpses.
