Taking it up one side and down the
other, the State of Florida is about the.
meanest country upon the face of the
earth in reference to the Colored people,
yet, when dollar looms up before the
vision of the white Floridian, be drops
his high-toned color-pre judice and en-
braces his brother-in. black with great
JUNCTION. The legislature has authorize
Duval County to issue bonds to secure
deep water to the ocean," The county
commissioners chose board of twelve
trustees to carry out the law. The poor
white trash were opposed to the law,
and it was feared that the Colored
voters were ditto. So four of the Demo-
cratic Inspectors just chosen resigned
and agreed in writing to have their
places filed with Republicans. So, it
seems that in Florida, Negro domina-
tion," is good enough for poor white
folks.

News ola 6endish outrage comes from
Helena, Ark. About 20 miles from that
town, a young Colored woman was out
ragged by two white men named BARLEY
they met the woman in deserted part
OF the road, and one of them forced her
at the point of pistol to submit while
the other outraged her person. One of
the parties was arrested, but escaped
from the officers. Both men are now
at lalgc. The oftense is punishable bv
death. The probability that these men
VIII ever suffer the Jeath penalty, or
any other, is exceedingly small. ONLY
one man was arrested and he escaped
from the officers. Both will finally
escape" and be at large" because
Southern laws are not made to prote CT
COlOreu women.

It is in the field or on the lawns of
their gardens, always in the open air,
that the English women spend six
months of the year, and in this respect
many of the American girls have of late
been following their example.
.''Stand perfectly erect when going up
stairs" are among the marching orders
given to those who wish to get to the top
without being breathless. In this way

Walking and abluions is the great
secret Of the beauty and of the health
of English women. They tear neither
douches nor draughts They sleep with
their windows open, and in the morning
they inundate themselves with cold
water. In winter the most timorous dip
a towel in water, wiring it out and rub
themselves from bead to foot in order to
stimulate the circulation of the blood.

troubles seem to indicate the reverse.

Some enterprising Texan wrote to Mr..
g. P. Huntington, the New York rail-
road magnate Offering him some "valu-
able franchises" Mr. Huntington says
in his reply: while there are many
places in Texas where we would like to
build some railroads, mostly short ones,
we cannot do anything as long as the
disposition exists that now seems to in
Texas, that is to do all the harm they
can to this kind of property, and 1 think
my views are shared by all people who
have money to invest" People who
have money can find better investments
than jim Crow railroads.

FOR BUSY MOTHERS.

delps in the Making of Clothes for the
..~ Baby.
Few things are more becoming to the
baby than a dainty little sacque, and
none is equally useful and pretty. Late
in the afternoon, when baby's dress is
apt to be rather crushed, they give it
smart" appearance, when one is
slipped on just before leaving the nurs-
cry for inspection by visitors in the
drawing-room, and they lend just the
necessary warmth in the cool morning,
when heavier wrapping would be bur-
densone. Not all mothers, however,
have time for the lovely, soft knitted or
crocheted ones, and occasionally, in large
families, the advent of baby is so de-
llghttully monotonous every two or
three years that even the most admir-
ing relatives fail in the gifts which
came in showers for the first, and, fur
thermore, everything in worsted is
spoiled in the first washing it receives.
There are other sacques almost as
dainty and attractive as those in wool,
and yet they can be made in few
hours, are very inexpensive and can be
carefully laundered several times to
look almost as good as new. They are
made of cream flannel or cashmere,
preferably the cashmere, since it does
not shrink at all. The simplest
way of making them is to run
the seams together on the wrong
side' pink the edges, and on
the right side feather-stitch the same,
and put row of the same around the
edge, collar and cuffs, about a quarter
OF an inch from the pinking. A second
style is like the first, with the excep-
ton of the edge, which is worked in
buttonhole-stitch instead of being
pinked; third style omits all feather
stitching, the edges, neck and sleeves
are finished with unprecedented seal
lop in wool, and two rows of baby rib
bon are run quarter of an inch from
the crocheted edge and from each other.
The fourth and prettiest way is to feath.
er-stitch the seams, and tile tiny hem
made around the edge, collar and cuffs,
and to finish these with a crocheted
edge in washing silks-cream, pink or
blue being equally pretty. All the
little sacques are fastened at the neck
with a little ribbon bow, matching the
color used in decorating them.
Not only will these be found useful to
the busy mother, but they are accept
able affairs and the various exchanges
for woman's work, and make a welcome
Christmas or birthday gift for the baby,
being pleasant variation from the
Noah's ark and rag dolls that are often
the first choice for the baby's present
on such occasions Good Housekeeping.

In England. they still use the low cut
dress very much, much more than here
It seems that above the waist an English
woman does not fear TO uncover herself
provided she does not show her feet, she
is safe. When the streets are muddy,
