For Every Girl to Remember.
l have seen mothers who have
sacrificed youth, appearance, health
and comfort in the effort to save
money to educate and dress their
daughters, browbeaten, crushed
and virtually ignored by their
daughters In return for it all.
The American girl is taught that
she is q young princess from the
cradle to the altar. It is q great
misfortune when she forgets that
the mother of q princess must bs a
queen, or queen regent, and should
be SO treated.---Ella Wheeler Will

When Girls Are Engaged.

From the Ladies Home journal.
You have a little band around
the third finger of your left hand
in which is Get turquoise, and
when it was put there you remem-
bered that the Hindu said: He
who hath a turquoise hath a
friend" Now, that's what you
have in the man you love best,
and whose wife you are going to
become-a friend. He is your
sweetheart, your lover it is true,
but because to you his heart seems
best worth having, his love the
the richest gift you can possess,
you will not vulgarize, as many
girls do, the tie that binds you.
1t is true you 60 with him alone to
hear some wonderful music, or look
at some fine pictures, but I hope it
is not true that when you are at a
party, or in your own home, you
two pair off and make yourselves
the objects for silly chatter and
idiotic jesting. ...
He can love you with his whole
heart, but he must not make you
an object of ridicule He can think
you the most unselfish girl in the
world, but he must not show his
own selfshness by expecting you
to devote your evenings exclusive
ly to him, ignoring those who are
at home. Let him come in and be
one of them-there's a dear five
minutes when he can speak TO you,
when he can kiss you on the lips he
knows are only the gates to sweet,
pure speech, and when he can
whisper the lovely nothings that
mean SO much to you both. Then,
too, don't let him feel that he must
give up all his friends for you ;
don't accept valuable presents
from him, and don't assume an air
OF proprietorshlp with him. Tell
him nothing about your family
affairs, for the secrets of the house
hold do not even belong to the
| man you are going to marry. Guard
yourself in word and in deed; hold
his love in the best way possible;
tie it firmly to you with the blue
ribbon of hope, and never let il
be eaten away by that little foz
who destroys so many loving tiee
and who is called familiarity.

THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1890.

it there sprang up In every dlrec-
ton long sheets of fame by which
the scene could be examined. Then
from the masses Of ruins which the
flames lighted up came shrieks and
sobs and moaHs.
The confusion caused by the
tornado was soon succeeded by that
of people running to and fro,
wagons and fire engines rumbling
over the debris with which the
streets were strewn.
For a time everybody seemed
paralyzed. The work of rescue
was at once begun, and the side
walks were soon piled high with
crushed and mangled, wounded and
dead victims OF the storms wrath.
The storm came from the south
west, and seems to have been q
veritable cyclone. The force of
the wind was hardly felt above the
Gait House, but below that so far
as could be seen by the light of the
blazing ruins everything was laid
fiat on the earth.
THREE HUNDRED LOST.
The Falls City Hail., in which
two or three secret societies were
holding meetings, was laid fat on
the ground. In the main hall q
dance was in progress at the time,
and it is believed hat fully 800 lost
their lives in this building alone.
1000 PEOPLE KILLED.
The sheds at ths Seventh Street
Depot were blown down, covering
the Louisville and Southern
trains, which were being made up,
and injuring large numbers of peo-
pie. Street cars we're blown from
their tracks in many cases and
crushed against tie walls of build
ings. When the fire broke out in
the ruins on Seventh street man,
his wife and little girl were seen
wedged under the debris, and
although they shneked and moan
ed and the spectators made almost
herculean efforts 10 release them
from their position, it was impossi-
BILE and they sbwly burned to
death in the presence of helpless
| hundreds.
Everywhere thst fire served as
a beacon light everything seemed
to be swept clean. In the streets
there were dead and dying, and
from known facts and floating
rumors, there WAS reason to be-
lieve that. the number of dead
would reach fully 1000.
The gas works and electric light
plants are wrecked and the city is
in absolute darkn ess. It was
thought that the water-works had
also been wrecked, and that there
was difficulty in getting water tc
play on the fires, which were
springing up in all directions.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March a.
Shortly after 9 O'Clock tonight a

500 people. The wind came from
the southwest. The Union Depot

minds of many who have been

performance of legislative duties,
it is we'll in this connection to set
forth some declarations of the

on this subject of taxation.
Perhaps one of the clearest
statements of the Democratic view
OF this subject of taxation, and the
extent to which the government
may rightfully use its powers to
tax the people, was made by Robt.
j. Walher, Secretary of the Treas
ury during the administration of
President Polk. He said:
| First. That no more money
should be collected than is neces.
sary for the wants of the govern
ment economically administered.
Second. That no duty be i'm
posed On any article above the low
est rate that will yield the largest
amount of revenue.
Third. That the maximum rev.
enue should be imposed on the
necessities of life.
Fifth. That the duties should
abe so imposed as to operate equal.

hating neither for nor against any
