The latest improvement in
corsets is neat enough to have
been made by a woman; it is
loops of corset lace instead of
metal eyelets.
Eyelcts cut the laces the
loops don't.
Eyelets rust; the loops
don't.
Eyelets make the lacing
show through thin dresses;
the loops don't
We call the loops soft eye
lets; but they are tough ;
they won't wear out in the
life of a corset.
Soft eyelets are used in the
Dali and Kabo corsets, which
arc sold 10 most of the stores
IN this way: you PICK out

Useful Hints.

For friezes, nets have often been used
with good effect, draped in graceful folds
along the top of room or stretched di-
rectly upon the wall. They are used
very largely for transom decorations or
as valances over windows or in alcoves.
A SLIGHT burn should be tied up i'm
mediately in baking powder laid upon a
wet cloth. This will usually prevent in
fammation. But II the wound does in
fame and become sore, battle IL with
equal parts of raw linseed oil and lime
water. After the Inflammation Is out,
heal with zinc salve, which can be pro-
cured from the druggist
A VERY pale color in meat is sign
that the animal was poor in blood, and
that the meat Is wanting In nutritive
qualities; the cause of the bloodlessness
may even have been some serious dis
ease. A deep reddish purple color shows
that the animal has not been killed, but
that il died natural death. A marble.
like appearance, produced by layers OF
fat interposed between the fieshy fibers,
is possessed by none but good meat.
A TASTEFUL drapery for a square

toons of plush or satin; peacock blue is a
good choice, alternating with two deep

should Judges Wear Gowns?

No man ever added cubit to his stat
ure by dress. No robe ever enlarged a
mans brain, ripened his wisdom, cleared
his Judgment. strengthened his purpose,
or fortified his honesty. II he Is little
man without a robe, he is contemplate
i'm a robe. II man is large without a
robe, he is simply ludicrous In one. A
robe used as an insignia OF ONCE Is a
relic OF the age when tinsel, glitter, ana
fiummery were thought to be necessary
to overawe the common people. And the
robe can now perform no other 1unc-
tion than that of humbugglng the
people. A court which is worthy OF the
name needs no such fiimsy and ridicu-
lous assistance in order to command the
confidence and the respect Of the COM
munity, and court which cannot COM
mand the respect and the confidence OF
the people without resorting TO shams OF
this kind is incapable of doing any good,
is inca pable of protecting the weak from
being tramplcd down by the strong, and
should be wiped out OF existence. This
age and the American people do not
want medieval shams. They want light
daylight, electric light, sunlight.
They want realities; they want charac-
ter: they want learning: they want good
Judgment: they want Independence;
| and they want these tfee from DOtn
| barbaric and aristocratic subterfuges.
1t Is only weak minds that lean
upon this kind of bolstering. Our age
! is superior to the middle ages only In
so far as 1t has progressed beyond sham
and Journalism, lofty pomp and hollow
and dull dignity. and asks how to be
shown things just rs they are. l am
| opposed to pretehse and TO humbug, no
matter whether found in high station
or in low, and, in my opinion, If the
American people ever reach a point
where they must put robes upon their
Judges or any other officers in order TO
have the highest respect for them, then
republican institutions will be at an end
in this country; for men who can be In
spired by gown are but little removed
from those who can draw inspiration
from a wooden god, and neither are fit
TO either enjoy or defend true political
liberty. Judge John II. -Altgcld, In the

THE WINTER WHEAT CROP.
Improvement in Indiana, Missouri and
Kansas.

There has been considerable change in
the condition of the crop throughout the
winter wheat States. This change has
been by no means uniform, the condition
having improved I'm some States and de-
Perforated i'm others. The crop has
shown the greatest Improvement in In
diana, Missouri, and Kansas, and the
greatest deterioration In Illinois, where
the condition is per cent. poorer than
month ago. The average condition in
the whole group of States shows u gain
of five-ninths of l per cent.
In Illinois the condition has deterior-
ated per cent. on an average, the loss,
however, being in only sixteen counties,
which report an average loss OF 20 per
cent. from freezing and thawing
Indiana shows an Improvement OF
8 per cent. in thirty days. Eighteen
counties report an average loss OF 13 per
cent. from thawing and freezing, but the
improvement in the other counties is
sufficient to give an increase in the aver
age for the whole State.
In Ohio there has been a loss OF per
cent. in the whole State, and thirty-five
counties report loss from freezing and
thawing of o per cent. on an average.
This loss is, however, reduced by the inn
proved condition In twenty-eight coun-
ties.
Michigan reports from twenty-seven
counties show an improvement in twelve
counties, and an average loss of z per
cent. in fifteen counties, making an av-
erage loss for all the counties reporting
of per cent
In Kentucky an average loss of 10 per
cent is reported from freezing and thaw-
ing, but in the other counties of the
State the condition continues to i'm
prove, so that the average loss Is reduced
to 1 per cent.
The crop condition in Wisconsin still
improves, and the blanket of snow that
has covered Il large part OF the State for
almost the entire winter has, in most
cases, prevented harm from freezing and
thawing. In nine counties, however,
these conditions do not prevail, and a
loss is reported from these causes aver
aging Is per cent for the season. The
entire State has, nevertheless, improved
in condition l per cent. since our last re-
port.
The condition in Iowa has fallen per
cent. in month, but this loss is caused
by the freezing and thawing i'm fourteen
counties which report loss from these
causes during the season averaging lS
per cent The outlook on the whole is
good.
OF ffty-eight counties reporting in
Missouri eighteen show an average loss
from freezing and thawing of Is per
cent, but the remaining counties show
an improvement to such an extent as to
give gain in condition for the whole
State of per cent.
Kansas still leads the States on condi-
tion and reports an average gain of 4
per cent. over last report. Only fvo
counties show any loss from freezing and
thawing, and in those the average loss is
only per cent. for the season.
From the reports, the percentage Of

Substance OF the Corresp sndence Conduct
cd by secretary Blaine and Italy's Repre-
sentatives Strong Intimation that Fsva
Has Distorted Facts and Messages.
Secretary Blaine has furnished to the
press the substance of the corresron-
dence with the representatives OF the
King of Italy. Tho correspondence con-
slsts of two letters-one from Baron
Fava to the Secretary OF State; the sec
ond the reply of the Secretary OF Safe,
which is addressed to the Secretrry OF
Legation. The statements OF Secretary
Blaine, IL they are sustained, place the
italian Minister in very awkward posi-
tion.
The letter of Baron Fava is very curt
and peremptory, and betrays TO con-
siderable degree an ignorance OF the in
stitutions OF this country or willing
ness to ignore the existing conditions.
Two demands are made. both very per-
emptory in character. They are: That
the United States shall guarantee to
Italy a speedy trial and conviction of the
alleged murdcrers; that the United
States shall recognize the principle Of
the right OF Italy b indemnity for the
killing of the Italian subjects. The
Italian Minister claims that four of the
killed Italians were subjects OF the King
OF Italy. Baron FNa states that the
United States refuses to act upon either
of these demands, in consequence Of
which and because his efforts had proved
inefficacious, he should leave the United
States as soon as possible, leaving the
