ART OF THE TAILoR.-''No two men,
Jsu OF exac5 height and weight" said a
prominent New York tailor the other day,
"can wear the same clothes and be fitted.
If the measurement were exactly the same,
which it never is, they couldn't do it. Why?
Now, don't know. Bat l have fouud it
to be fact. Tue measurement for pair
Of trousers, for instance, might be exactly
the same, yet ons man will have to be al
lowed from one to three inches more length
in tbs legs than the other. The man who
is naturally stout or fat, and the man who
has grown fat late in life, may look aud even
measure actually alike, but the same cut of
cloth will never fit both.
Herein lies the great art of tailoring.
The variations in the construction of the
human body are marvelous. Now, the man
who Just left-be is minister Of the gospel.
BE must have clothes to fi5 him and fi5 bis
business. Hisrssm pits, shoulder blades
and arms do not correspond with those of
any other map; nor does the right side COR
respond with the left. He probably ges
lures good deal with his right hand. He
doesn't know that that arm is fully an inch
longer than the other This structural diff
ference in men is more general than you
would imagine. New York Cor. Pitts

THE DIsCoMFoRTs OF WEALTH-"It's
not because we like it that we hustle 60 in
our busluess," said leading Boston mer-
c,ant "You have no idea of the great
responsibility of such business as this.
Tc be sure, it brings wealth; but what is
wealth, after all? Money in itself is of
very little account. l wouldn't give five
cents bushel for it; it don't bring hap
piness; am happy, but it is not because
/ have money, but il spite Of it. Hap
piness is matter Of disposition, and
money can neither bring q good disposi-
tion nor happiness. lily hsppiest days
were when I had small family and a
salary just big enough to support that
family. Thsn l WAS free from this care,
this heavy responsibility, and l didn't feel
as 5hough had to hustle every day lived
in order 10 keep in the procession. Why
not ease up now that am Ia comfortable
circumstances? All, how little you fel-
lows know Of the shoals and qalckssuds of
trade! If you let up in this race in the
least you are surely lost. Il is but single
step from a thri nng, successful business
to the bankruptcy court. You can't let
up; if you are in it you've got to pull for
all you are worth, and even then failure
will freqaently overtsks you" boston

Good Hints for Brides.

From time immemoral the brides gown
ha' been white; and if one could only have
a simple muslin. frock it seems as lift ought
to be of that pure tone, because her own
he, is thought to be as clean and white
as is her gown. The white gown and the
orange blossoms are the privilege of tae
bride, and even if she has to ec1uomIza aud
give up another gown I can qnite appreci-
ate the feelings of the girl who insists on
the white satin, the blossoms and the tulle
veil. She can never wear this costume but
once in her life, for after she has become
wife, roses must take the place of the
orange blossoms and the tulle veil is never
again assumed. Heavy white corded silk,
white velvet, white brocade, white mousse
line de sole are all shown for the BRIDES
gown; but the real w~ddiug material is
white satin. True, it grows yellow with
age, as does ivory; but if love is young in
the heart there will be the same delight in
looking at the folds in the wedding gown
that there is in recalling the wedding day
A widow who is being married or the
second time, may wear any color she
wishes, if she is in travelling costume; but
in full dress che must have either pale gray
or mauve; or, if she prefers, some other be
coming color, but never white; nor should
she wear orange blossoms. Roses, daisies,
or whatever flower is suited to the shade of
her frock, are proper; but the white, sweet
smelling blossom belongs entirely to the
young girl.
Somebody asks how to arrange veil and
hOw far it should extend. You cannot buy
a veil by the yard; that is to say, you can
not tell how much you need; the proper
way is to have the storekeeper send a piece
of tulle and then drape it on the brides
head. 1t should fall we'll over her train
though not beyond it, and should reach the
edge of the skirt in 'front.' The orange
blossoms are put on so that they are only
visible after the veil is thrown back, which
ceremony should be performed by two of
the bridemaids when the newly made Lus-
band leans forward to kiss the bride.
In all large cities there are hair dressers
who make business of arranging BRIDES
wells, but in smaller ones these helpful peo-
pie are not always to be found; so just re-
member in putting it on that while it is
light as air it still must be firmly pinned in
position, and the orange blossoms well in
place. 50 that when the front part is thrown
back they will present a perfectly well ar
ranged appearance.
If one wished. tullo could be substituted
for the pearl decoration on the costume
pictured, and it would. of course. make it
much less expensive. By-the-bye, it should
always be remembered that no matter how
beautiful the neck and arms of bride are,
she Is SHINING against good form who does
not have a high neck and long sleeved
bodice, for it must be remem bered that she
is not going to a dance or reception, but
to q religions ceremony that means the joy
or misery of her future life. aud, while
everything may be as merry as marriage
bell. in the brides fcoclz there should be an
expression of her knowledge of that which
she is undertaking.-MRs MALLON, in
Ladies' Home Journal.

people attended the circuit races which
opened here to-day. The weather was
perfect and the track in splendid condi-
ton. Fast time was made.
The first race, the 2::O class, showing
one heat under 2:16. In the first heat of
the 2 :2l class Veritas collided with Poca-
hontas Prince, running the latter against
the fence. Pocahontas Prince got away
from his driver and ran once and half
round the track before stopped. Tho
horse was uninjured, but the sulky was
smashed. Neritas was distanccd for foul
driving. and Poe ahontas Prince was SO
badly winded that he was drawn in
the third heat. In the second heat Of the
same race Neleta got beyond control of
her driver and ran twice around the track.
In the 2:;D trot, 5000, divided, Leopold

great victory in breaking the pre-deter-

democratic party.
After further debate the bill was laid

presented, discussed and passed. After

NEsRAsKA's PEOPLES PARTY
Denounces the Present Arrangement and
Telis What ts Needed.

LINCOLN, Ncb., July 29.-The Peoples
Independent party Of Nebraska met in
state convention to-day. Nearly 500 dele
gates. from all over the state, were pres
cnt. Farmers Alliance men and gram
gers predominate; the remainder are
Knights Of Labor and union labor men.
A number OF speeches were made, in
cluding one by ex-United States Senator
Van Wyck. He announced himself as
out OF politics and strictly for business.
He denounced both old parties for the
part they had taken in the legislation Of
the past twenty years; declared they were
controlled by Wall street and that the
present movement was destined to rcvo-
lutionize the whole order OF things.
The platform demands that the flnan-
cial system should be reformed by q res
toration OF silver 10 its old time place in
currency; its free and unlimited coinage
on an equality with gold and by an In
crease OF money circulation Ia the sum of
$50 per capita all paper issued necessary
to secure that amount To be made by the
government alone and To he full legal
tender. Land monopoly should be abol-
ishcd either by limitation of ownership or
graduated taxation of excessive holdings: !:
alien ownership should he prohibited.
The railroad system as at present
managed Is system of spo J.
alton aud robbery and its cnor-
utDt a
is absoIb bing the substance Of millions.
The general government should own and
operate the railroads aud telcgraDhs and
furnish transportation at cost. The plat
form demands that the legislature enact
a freight law which shall fix the rates no
higher than those in Iowa. IL demands
reform in the state and national systems
of taxation, including the tariff the adop-
tion of the Australian ballot system. IL
demands also that eight hours shall con-
siitute a days work, except for agricul-
tural labor; that soldiers shall receive
liberal service pensions.
The platform further declares "the
political machinery of the state has been
controlled by corporate power for the
plumber of the people and the enrichment
of itself, and we have entirely lost conf
dcnce in efficiency Of that machinery Of
unjust laws; we therefore give voice for "A
call OF the peoples independent state
convention to nominate pure and honor
able men for the different state offices,
on the principles above named, and we
hereby pledge ourselves to vote, aud tn
work for their election"
j. III. Power was nominated for gov
ernor, his principal opponent ex-senator
Van Wyck not coming nearly up la the
requisite number Of votes.
