Picture of a Pretty Woman.

A pretty woman must, first Of all, have
clearly cut regular features She must
have full, clear eyes. She must have a
skin that is above reproach, untouched
by rogue or powder. She must have
glossy hair that has never known the
touch of bleach or dye. She must have
a good figure, plump enough, yet slender
enough, though never suggestive Of an
angle. She must have a white, express
sive hand, preferably a small one, but
not of necessity, if it is we'll kept and
white. She must have small ears and q
throat that is like marble column for
her head. She must know how to put on
her clothes, or she loses half her beauty.
She must fully understand what best
suits her in the way of hair-dressing
and cling closely to that A woman
must have all these attractions, and UNI
less she has tact, it dawns on you after
you have seen her once or twice. that
she is not pretty woman, but pretty
doll.-St. Louis Republican.
The Printer Must Have Had tho Rabies
A Western newspaper recently as
tonished it's readers with the following
tragical paragraph, which purported to
be an account Of q testimonial to de-
parting clergyman: $50 the congrega-
ton resolved upon European tour for
their pastor, and on Saturday made him
acquainted with the delightful fact. Ac-
companyins the report of the COMMITTEES
was a nicely filled purse, which was
placed at the disposal of the pastor, who,
after thanking them, made turn down
South Main street as far as Planet, then
up Planet to Benefit street, where he
was caught by some boys, who tied 8
tin pan to his tail. Away he went again
up Benefit street and down College, at
the foot Of which he was shot by a
policeman" A stupid printer had mixed

nomic situation. The impression which
the New York Evening Post and othel
free trade papers industriously seek t.
convey, and which is an essential part
of the free trade propaganda, that thu
farmers of today receive less for theil
products and have to pay more for tht
things which they consume than those
Of twenty or thirty years ago, is incor
rect and misleading
Some tables of wholesale prices in the
New York market. recently summarized
in the Tribune, throw light upon this
question. These tables compare the
prices Of hundreds of articles in 1861
with the current quotations. They show
that the aggregate Of all farm products
which would have cost 800 in 1864
would cost now in the same market
S99.79, a decline of only one-fiftl
of one per cent. But the aggregate
of all other products in the list
which would have cost 500 il
1860, would cost now in the same mar
ket only $40 43. a decline Of 1928 81 OF
every 500. 1t would appear from thil
that the farmer is getting today in thu
New York market practically the sam,
prices for his products that he hat
thirty-one years ago, while he saves OF
the average 24A per cent. on the thing:
which he buys. A thoughtful consid
Grafton of these facts suggests tn,
essential insincerity of the free trad'
