As 1t Is the custom Of American girls

are very apt to follow that habit when

adapt themselves accordingly. thereby
escaping considerable embarrassment

Nothing can be more delightful than the
careful deliberateness with which the aver
age woman conducts the monetary transac-
ton between herself and the horse car con-
ductor. Here is a typical case, which was
watched by half a dozen amused passengers
on a Sixth avenue car a day or tive ago:
A woman with the small leather bag that
always accompanies a woman shopper seated
herself IN the car. When the conductor en-
tered for his fare she opened her bag, took
out her purse, shut the bag, opened the purse,
took ten cents therefrom, then shut the purse,
opened the bag, put the purse in it and closed
the bag By this time the conductor had
given her her change, and once more she
opened the bag, took out the purse, closed the
bag, opened the purse, dropped the nickel
therein, closed the purse, opened the bag,
laid the purse carefully in and closed the
bag, while the intent look faded from her
face, and she leaned back with the happy
look of one of whom the world could expect
nothing further.-New York Evening Sun.

The New Power.

Yesterday afternoon the San Antonio
Street Car company ran their regular
electric motor cars, with few mule cars
sandwiched in between. The trips were
very successful with the exception of one
motor that was smashed TO pieces. One
of the motor drivers, probably rejoicing
over the success of the affair, had the
habit of running his motor at an evident
rate of twenty-five miles an hour, and
numerous were the switches around
which he sailed at very high rate.
Everything passed off safely until the car
came sailing down Government hill and
hit a switch, throwing it good distance
off the track, and smashing it up cOnsid-
erably. 1t will cost large sum of money
TO repair the motor. A number OF ladies
were in the car when il left the track,
and they were piled into2One solid bunch.

Rag Rugs.

A Berlin woman has given the following
directions for making rug from bits OF
wooden rags. Her plan allows much smaller
pieces TO be used than in the knitted ones,
and the effect is also somewhat different:
Cut any scraps of firm wooden material
the more bright colors, blue, green, yellow,
scarlet, the better-iuto pieces half an inch
wide and six long. Sew them, slightly over
tapping the edges, on a narrow strip of black
wooden till a number of yards of this fringe
has been made. Next cut piece of jute or
coffee sacking little smaller than the rug is
to be when finished, hem or bind it with
wooden braid and sew the rag fringe firmly
around the outside edge, then continue sew
ing row after row toward the center-leav-
ing space of three-fourths of an inch be-
tween each strip-till they meet in the mid
die, where they must be fastened little
nearer. The narrow strips of cloth must fall
over each other in such way as to conceal

THE state of Texas has been more
greatly benefited by railroads than
any state in the union, yet she re-
quires many more railroads besides
those now operated, to develop her
resources and to settle her unoccu-
pied lands. In the very teeth of these
facts, a feeling of hostility to rail-
roads, after lurking in holes and cor
ners, as though ashamed to show it
self in the light of day and the blaze
of civilization, has strided to the
front and forced the democratic party
to adopt it as the shiboleth of its
faith. Hogg has always bee n hostile
to the railroads and has repeatedly
manifested it. He captured the Far
mers' Alliance by his hostility to
railroads, and by its help secured the
n )minstion for governor. If he is
elected governor, he will give loose
rein to his chronic hostility to the
railroads and not only hamper and
cripple those now in operation, but pre-
vent the construction of new lines of
railways in sections where they are
needed to open the country. This
would, of itself, be great calamity to
Texas. But, unfortunately, the evil
effects would extend far beyond this
point, by arresting the tide of immi-
grafton and capital now flowing into
the state. There is no denying the
fact that the election of Hogg would
be retrograde movement, relapse
into mossbackism. Now, four-fifths
OF the intelligent and rejecting dem
ocrats in Texas fully concur with us
in this opinion. They have no use
for Hogg, or his pet schemes, and
they consider him monomaniac on
the subject of railroads.
But as Hogg is the nominee of the
democracy, every democrat is bound
to cast his vote for him, nolens
volens.
so great Is the enslavement of the
mind to partyism and so great is the
fear of the merciless party LASH
welded by the bosses, that demo-
Gratis never dream OF voting against
a nominee of their party. With
them, nomination lays the mantle
of charity in the shade, since it covers
political sins and bleaches rascality
In to innocence and brightens stupid
ity into genius. 1t is lamentable
thing for Texas that democrats are SC
much enslaved by party spirit as tc
be incapable of casting their votes
according to their honest convictions
about the merits or dement's of public
measures.
