The nes, Enemies Of the peo,,e.

The real molders of party policy are
men who neither ask nor desire office.
Their interest in politics is pecuniary
and sometimes quite large. They would
no more run for Office than would the

his, own entry for the Derby or the or

A Titles girl in Auburn whose ways
are altogether lovely became recently,
after the manner of childhood, very
much interested in those cpidermic
excrescences on her brothers. hand
known familiarly as warts, and she
thought that she would be happy if
she could be blessed with some Just
like them. Her mother had taughther
to pray for what she wanted, and the
little damsel of her own accord prayed
one night for warts. They came
whether in answer to petition or by
excessive familiarity with her little
brothers beauty-marks is not known,
but they came. AS time passed the
little ones views on warts changed.
She no longer thought they were hand
some or nice and she took the same
remedy to remove them, viz. prayer.
1t proved less etficacious iu this dircc-
tion than in the other, and after some
vain petitioning she presented her
fearful face at her mothers side one
day recently, and with determination
born of disappointment said that sho
would never make annother prayer.
Why said her mother, '.you prayed
for the warts and they came. God

Government Loans to the People.

Government Loans to the People.
Those who denounce as absurd and
impracticable the Alliance proposition
that the government should loan money
direct to the people upon proper security
should read this extract from French
financial history, taken from ..The The
ory and History of Banking:"
It has been remarked that from 1914
for many years the Bank Of France was
'slll tlls b..k b. ii rather thans of the
merchants. The position ef Intermediary
between the bank and the gssat class Of
borrowers on small scale should have
been held bya class of independent banks;
itappears, in fact, to have been held by
private bankers, and during the revul-
sion which accompanied the revolution
Of July, 1880, this class of establishments
either disappeared or became inactive,
so that part Of the usual machinery of
commerce, never adequate, was for a
time absolutely wanting, and it seemed
impossible for the normal movement to
begin again.
The chambers therefore voted that
loans should be granted by the govern
ment for the relief Of commerce to tho
extent of Go,C00,000 francs, one-half to be
lent directly by public commission, and
the other to be used in establishing pub
lie discount Offices in Paris and in the
departments. The loans We're made at
4 per cent, and upon security, and the
business would seem to have been man
aged with better success than could have
been expected, for the 30,C00,0o0 francs
of direct loans made to industrial estab-
ishments, and divided between Paris
and the departments with tolerable
equality, the amount still unpaid in
1860 and then set down as either bad OF
doubtful, was only about 100000 francs.
The discount Office in Paris discounted
paper to the amount of 90, 0,G2o,0 900 francs
and securities averaging a little less
than $50 francs each, and Of this not
quite 2 per cent was still unpaid in
1841. The operations of the ten or more
discount offices opened in the depart
ments are not carefully reported.

The Medieval Housewife.

The housewife of the middle ages
cooked over an open fire on stone
hearth in the middle of the room, a
hole in the roof letting the smoke es-
cape. Over this fire the people shiver-
ed in cold weather; but ut later time
some of the queens had braziers or
small IRON furnaces in their rooms.
There were no carpets in those days,
and rushes and sweet herbs were
spread on tho floor instead, especially
when company was expected. There
were tapestries on the walls of the
finer houses. At dinner people sat on
wooden benches and stools at heavy
table of boards set on trestles. and
this was covered with cloth. The bill
of fare changed with the centuries in
those days, aud not much from day to
day; the food was barley and oaten
bread, bacon, fish, capons, eggs and an
abundance of home -brewed ale, and
the noblcs sometimes had wine from
the east.-Good Housekeeping.

On Behalf of the New Party.

The Peoples party has been formed
under the most favorable auspices, ard
gives promise of an early emancipation
from the thraldon of the money power
and other monopolists. But this eman-
cipation cannot be secured without spe-
cial and extraordinary effort, requiring
large outlay in the preparation of docu-
ments, arranging meetings and other
legitimate and proper purposes.
To this end every earnest friend of
political and economic reform and every
reform organization is urged to contrib
ute at once and literally. Don't delay
moment. Send the money now. Bring
the matter up in your organizations at
once. A few dollars contributed now,
when the preliminary work is to be
done, may do more good than hundreds
of dollars just before the elections, when
it is too late to organize and agitate.
Remit all contributions to the secretary

An ExDert's Opinion.

A lady s:enographer says: The mum bers
of our calling are constantly on the in
crease, and most of those lately coming
into the business are not we'll prepared for
it. A good English education is required
to become even a passable shorthand
writer, and a great many young women
who have the merest smattering of knowl-
edge are trying to prepare themselves for
office work they will never be able TO do
because of insufficient knowledge of the
simplest English branches. There is NO
hope of our ever being able to form union
for our protection, for a woman does not
care button for principles or labor maxims
when she wants place, and in this city
the graduates of the same commercial
school will go and underbid each other to
get situation.
They work for less wages than men be
cause the most Of them live at home and
do not require so much for their support,
knowing that they have relatives on whom
they can rely. And, besides, not one in a
thousand regards her position as anything
more than temporary, and if she can get
along somehow until she gets engaged and
her wedding clothes made, that is all she
looks forward to, not expecting TO do Office
work after she gets a husband. But the
introduction of women into offices has had
good influence on the women and on the
offices, too, and several young girls who a
few years ago began as stenographers are
now filling responsible positions in bust
ness houses at a salary three or four times
that paid TO ordinary shorthand writer's

To Avoid Taking Cold.

DR.. Alice b. Stockham, an energetic, in
telligent woman who has made a name
and place for herself in the medical world
by attention 10 the prevention as well as
the cure of disease, says that the condition
known as a common cold" is absolutely
avoidable. If one is exposed to draughts
or other conditions liable to result in
taking cold" the sensation of chilliness
can be dispelled by closing the mouth and
inhaling fresh air deeply through the
nostrils, holding the breath long enough
to count fifty each time. This simple
treatment, coupled with resisting
thought avoiding fear of attack, will, she
insists, surely ward off the disagreeable
and more or less dangerous condition
which is the common result of draughts.
wet feet, sudden changes of temperature,
etc.
The trouble with all such remedial OF
preventive agencies as this is that they are
too cheap TO attract the attention or en-
gage the confidence of the people. Persons
who would scorn to practice simple proc
ess of this kind for the prevention of cold
will not hesitate a moment to incur the
expense, inconvenience and suffering of
trip to Berlin for treatmenJ-when the
cold has developed into consumption. To
thoughtful people, however, who believe
that an intelligent jurisdiction may be
maintained over physical conditions to the
comfort of the individual and the increased
longevity of the race, such a suggestion as
the above appeals strongly, and the hint
that it gives is especially valuable at the
season of fogs, raw winds and liability 70

Women. work Among cannibai..

On one of the Scuth Sea islands the old
king. Tanoa. ordered that fourteen women,
prisoners of war, should be killed, offered
in sacrifice, and then cooked and eaten in
honor of some important visitors at Bau.
There was a mission station at Viva, oc-
cupied by Mr. and Mrs. Calvert and Mr..
and Mrs. Lyth. The men OF the party
were away on distant island when the
dreaded tidings reached Viva, but at once
these noble women resolved at ali hazards
and what awful hazards.-to attempt to
rescue the victims. Taking canoe they
rowed themselves to Bau, and before they
reached the shore the firing OF muskets,
piercing shrieks and the beating OF the
death drum told that the butchery had be-
gun. Undeterred by the horrors OF the
scene, they thrust their way through the
maddened crowd of cannibals into the
house of King Tanoa, where entrance was
forbidden TO all women excepting.those be-
longing TO the household.
With the offering OF whales tooth IN
each hand they sought to propitiate the
king, and then pleaded with such lDtensi-
" for the lives of their dark sisters that he
was overcome, and saying, These who
are dead are dead, but those who are still
alive shall live," ne ordered the five sur
vivors 70 be given into their charge.
Some time afterward, when Capt. Erskine,
R N, was cruising among the South Sea
islands, he wrote, after visiting Viva and
Bau, and meeting Mrs. Lyth and Mrs. Cal
vert, eff anything could have increased
our admiration of their heroism it was the
unaffected manner in which, when pressed
by US TO relate the circumstances of their
woful visit, they spoke of it as the simple
performance of an ordinary duty. Win

December s. 1890

| Mrs. Fuller's maiden name was Chris
tina Ricord. She was born June IL, 1912,
at Louisville, Ky. She moved thence to
| Springfield. o., where she united with the
church. She there met and wed with
I. w. Fuller, the marriage services being
solemninized by their old time friend, Rev.

the sweet singer, and charming Ella, the
wife of Finley Ross, an old time business
man on Main street, and Charles, doing a
thriving business at 2O2 Douglas avenue
moved to Wichita in 1872.
The home of Mrs. Fuller was one of The
quiet and lovely kind. She was the center
of attraction, devoted wife, an affection
ate and faithful mother, a sincere and con-
slant friend. Truly her children will
rise up and call her blessed" Her hus-
band also he praiseth her."
Mrs. Fuller's illness was eight days. No
one thought her end was near. but on
November ), 1890, she quietly fell asleep in

Experts in diamonds say that there is no
public in the world so intelligent in the
choice of stones Of the first water and of
good color as the American. No diamond
of any value should ever be purchased
without carefully examining the stone with
q microscope. There are abundance of
diamonds in market which are offered at
attractive prices, and which even to the
experienced eye present all the beauty Of
perfect stones until they are subjected to a
microscopic test, when the flaws in them
become clearly visible.
The handsomest diamond ornaments now
worn are in sun or star forms, and are set
in platinum TO show as little metal as pos
sible. When worn as "A pendant they are
hung on a strong but almost invisible chain
of platinum and gold. a renaissance scroll
is another pattern of these diamond orna-
ments, which may be worn as brooch,
pendant or jeweled hairpin; this is made
up solidly of diamonds in invisible setting
There are also lovely crescents and many
other designs.-New York Tribune.

LIGHT INFANTRY BALL.

Company A, Second regiment light
infantry gave an exhibition drill last
evening at their Armory, corner First and

number of ladies and gentlemen, who ex-
pressed themselves as well pleased with
the drill.
The company is wellequipped and uni
formed and are very we'll up in tactics
and this performance last evening would
have done credit to veterans.
Captain Osborne is a thorough soldier
and no error in the ranks escapes his
notice. The company in its present state
OF practice is certainly a credit to the city
and a credit to themselves
After the drill an informal dance was
INDUCED in, in which quite large number
OF the young gentlemen and ladies took
part. The music was first-class and every
body present in good spirits and general
good time was had by all.

Human Skull OF Iron.

Human skull Of front Not one made by
artifice, remember, but so constructed by
nature What could be more wonderful1
An anthropological expert showed the
specimen 20 a writer few days ago at the
Smithsonian. The skull, which was once
upon time like any other skull, is i'm
bedded in a mass of iron ore. Nature orig
inally Enclosed it in that way by an acct
dent, and gradually, in the course of eentu-
ries, particles of the metal took the places
of particles Of bone, until at length the
skull was no longer bone. but iron.
It's structure in the iron Is perfect IN
every detail, save that the top OF the head
and the lower jaw are missing. When it
i considered how many thousands of years
have been required TO produce such a curl
osity, some faint notion is conveyed Of the
antiquity Of man.

rock, incasing, as If a portion Of itself, the
