 The census bulletin of the net indebted ness of the States, counties and cities of the United States shows that & decided improvement in this regard has taken place since 1880, to say nothing of the greater change since the closing years of the war. The local indebtedness, by which is meant debts less cash on hand, amounts to s702, ,935, ,514, divided as follows: State, s132, ,336, ,689; county, SIS, ,224, ,sS5, and municipal, s455, ,373, $40. It will be noted that the debt of the cities is four times that of the counties and more than three times that of the States, fact of some sig nifieance in connection with the discussion of municipal reform. In the last ten years the State debts have decreased SIS, 163, 9s5; these of the counties, S, 277, TOO, and those of the cities s45, TIT, ,0i9, total re- duction of almost 16 per cent.

 In putting Governor Boyd out of his office the Nebraska supreme court declares for the strict letter of the law regarding naturalization. Boyd at the time of his election was not technically citizen on | account of his fathers failure to comply with all the requirements for securing naturalization papers about forty years ago in an Ohio town. Boyd, the younger, was born in Ireland, and therefore his fathers unconscious neglect to conform to the laws demands operates against him, notwithstanding that for years both father and son have voted at all elections and both have held office.

1t is not a wonder that men should
look with astonishment on "A woman

Many a woman of advanced ideas would
be d~umfounded to find a member of her
sex so far ahead of her age. Women
are feeling their way slowly and secret
ly but successfully. The female bene-
factors of New York city are many but
unknown. OF wealthy families, they dis
like notoriety, and so long as they see
their pet project blossom into success
and flourish they sink their own indi-
viduality into the abyss of humanity
and rest content.

THE CREATES ACTOR.

Ths Successful Tramp Has Qualities Tint
Make Him the Peer OF Many.
Best actors are not always members of
the dramatic profession. The end aimed
at in acting is the snntching of a page from
II book Of real life. But a majority OF
actors on the stage fail 70 secure a page
from the right book, and are therefore
not lifelike, while the "oT stager," with
the actual necessities of life before him,
rarely fails to produce the effect at which
he aims. Take the tramp. In the street
lie IS burly and abusive, he is of duty. The
next moment he goes into an office aud ap
proaches a man at a desk. Is he burly9
No. he's lamblike now, for he Is on duty.
On his face there is an expression Of most
acute anxiety, softened by a melancholy
toning Of sweet resignation. How bag
gard he looksl What a tremulous sugges-
ton Of long and patient suffering does his
voice convey He is lame, and any one can
see that he has IA pain IN his back, and that
his liver is out Of order. He has no home,
no friends, no money. Days have passed
since he has eaten a morsel, and in his eyes
there Turks the blighting light of gaunt
despair. Can It be possible that this is the
man who yesterday frightened a farmers
wife half to death and caused IL whole

a distinguished citizen passed away
recently under circumstances which will
arouse a feeling of sorrow IN those who
realize how life might have been pre-
served. EN-AIayor Samuel c. Cobb was
of the sturdiest of Bostonians. But
gradually he began to fail in health,
with such slowness that the decline was
not noticed until it had gone far. very
far, but with "A fatal sureness that no
medical skill could at the last avert. 1t
was all a mystery. The physicians doc
tored him for this and for that, surmis-
ing now one disease and another, until
at the last moment, just a few weeks be-
fore his death, they discovered the real
trouble.
Arsenical poisoning was at the root,
and that poisoning had been steadily go
ing on for years. His curtains, his wall
paper, and, more particularly, his favor.
ite easy chair, were made of material
that contained the deadly arsenic, and
the poor man had unknowingly been
breathing in the poison while supposing
he was resting and gaining strength. II

II you are short and stout don't ask the
poor artist TO make a picture of you full
length. He Will, if you insist; but he
knows he is doing a great wrong there
by. Nothing is s. graceful and pleasing
in a picture Of a stout lady as a sitting
half length, the figure SO turned as to
hide the too too stOutness. Again, if
you ara slim and angular, do not for an
instant forget that a full length figure
will make you appear more slim and
angular. Then the pretty bust picture
is your only hope and you should insist
on having no other.
If a gentleman has a very long neck
no matter how nicely he looks in a high
collar-his picture if taken in such a
high affair would look g~rotesque. A
short neck and high collar, a long neck
and low turned down collar by al means.
No loud stripes, no great checks, no
striking figures should be worn in a
photograph. One thing bear in mind
when you visit the studiO-bring along
your home expression. Don't spend two
days before you come to the studio prac-
ticing poses and different expressions be-
fore your mirror, and. lastly, give the
photographer the benefit of exercising
his artistic and professional ability

Nothing is more gratifying than the

to learn extempore speaking is to be

a Fad in Corsets That Costs Money.
a recent bride distanced all Of her
contemporaries in the value OF one item
Of her trousseau, and it is said by her
friends that she thereby set a fashion
that must ~henceforth be followed by all
brides Of any p]retcnsions in the world Of
society. While it is. of course, the rule
for the expecttnt wife TO have her bridal
corsets made far more deliberately and
extensively han has been her former
custom, often having them embroidered
most d~elicstely. II Is declared that this
instance Is the first where gold was used
in the place Of steel, both for the clasps.
the eyelets and the lacing tips.
The few intimate friends Of the bride
who were permitted to gaze upon the
mysterious portion Of her outfit had
their attention called to this feature OF
the beautiful corsets, and they say that
examination showed the metal portions
to be composed Of gold rs described.
One young oma had the temerity
10 ask what the advantage of gold was.
and she was informed that IL did not dis
color and was in every way preferable
TO steel 1t was generally agreed that
the idea was an awfully clever one, but
at the same time II was regretted that
the world at large would not know
about the gold. No one dared TO ask
how much the corsats cost The price.
