BOSTON WOMEN AROUSED.

The Chautauqua dress reform boom
has struck the women of Boston and they
have done what of all things else the Bos-
ton women love to do, organized. Their
DRESS Reform Club" strong and infiu-
ential already, approves the divided
skirt, condemns the corset and goes in to
the full length for the Chautauqua short
skirt and boots. That is right, ladies,
claim all, that you may gain something.
we wish you all reasonable success If
you will modify your transports little,
but, as the RECORD UNION has already
said, unless you storm the citadels of fash
ion in Vienna and Paris, you will only
be looping off boughs. Lay the ak at the
root of the tree; moral suasion will ef-
feet nothing SO long as the autocrats OF
fashion in the two great cities named are
left at peace in their intrenchments.
Another thing, ladies, you must con-
vert the men. Appear, if you dare, in
the new and radical costume, and seven
men out of ten will stand on the curb
stone and laugh at you. Unless you are
prepared to live down this ridicule, or
unless you convert the majority Of men
to your way of thinking, you will have
no success.
We have great hopes of the Boston
women, however. They come of cour-
ageous, resolute stock: they are not
likely to yield without struggle if once
they resolve to do. If however, they
will modify the Chautauqua idea so much
as to consent to the skirt reaching to the
ankles, men will approve. And really,
what more should be asked? Is it neces-
sary to put grown women into the short
clothes of children to work reform in
dress that shall conserve good health ?
The dragging skirt in the street is an
otfense, the gather-in-the-h hands business
OF draperies so as to prevent skirts
sweeping the filth of the walks, is an
other nuisance; it puts woman at a
great disadvantage; practically handi-
caps her in the effort to defend or help
herself. 1t is neither a graceful nor a
modest pose for a woman when she is
compelled upon the street to bundle her
skirts in one hand and draw them for
ward about her knees. If there is any
figure that looks worse than a woman in
that position neither art nor nature have
revealed it.
Stand for the stout shoes, ladies'; cham
pion the divided skirt, and thus lessen
the weight upon the vital internal organs
beneath the waist; wage hot war against
the crippling, disfguring corset, but do
not condemn the walking skirt, ankle
short, for it is modest, graceful and ac-
complishes all that you can hope for with
the shorter drapery and the boots under
the Chautauqua idea.

Prevention Better Than Cure.

Many persons are afflicted with skin
eruptions, boils or ulcers. BRANDRETH's
PILLS taken freely will in short time
effect complete cure of all such troubles.
Ulcers Of long standing have been cured
by them. Carbuncles have been checked
in their incipiency by them. The worst
fever sores, bed sores and the like have
been driven from the skin by them.
Only begin in time and few of BRAN
DRETH's PILLS will prevent many q
sickness.
BRANDRETH's PILLS are purely vege-
table, absolutely harmless and safe to
take at any time.
Sold in every drug and medicine store,
either plain or sugar coated.

during the night. The flesh was cut
away with razor and medical attend
ance summoned at once. Her life was
prolonged for time, as well as her suffer-
| 1ngs. For three months she fingered un-
der the effects, her hands constantly creep
ing and crawling along the bedding in
horrible imitation of the motions of the
| tarantula
| The Mygale sometimes spreads over six
inches square, but more frequently four
| or five inches. The writer has at the
present time a stuffed specimen that ex-
tends about six and half inches. A
shaggy coat of hair covers the surface of
the great spider. 1t is supplied with six
strong bony legs, and two dangerous
| pedipalps or strikers, each armed with a
sharp sting and poison sac. The strikers
are frequently mistaken for two front
legs, and from this arises the idea that the
creature has stings on its feet. Two pow
! ertul projections, resembling Jaws, pro-
trude from the head. Under each of
| these is curved poison fang, similar to a
cats claw, but longer (eXactly like those
of rattlesnake), which may be lifted,
extended and hooked into the victim. A
person thus stung Tor bitten?) must cut
| the tarantula away at once, for the spider
| does not seem willing to unhook its
| fangs.
Tarantulas are considered deadly foes
~N-~-N
company. When imprisoned together
there is tight, one succumbs and is
eaten by the victor. Nature has done a
service in making the tarantula so hid
eous and formidable a looking object In
deed, it is owing to this responsiveness
that no greater number of persons are
stung. The sight of the great hairy spider
crawling near by will cause cold, creep
ing sensation down the back Of almost
any one.
| The deadly foe of Mr.. Tarantula is the
tarantula hawk. These giant blue wasps.
with their fiery wings, are deadly foes to
the tarantula, and should be encouraged
in every locality They seem never to
rest for moment, and with tireless en-
ergy fly and walk along the ground, run
ming into crevice and hole, and examin-
ing every suspicious object, after the
| tarantula.
The fate of the giant spider when dis
covered by the hawk is certain, and at
tended with fascinating horror.
The winged insect hovers over the vic
tim until it finds good opportunity to
sting. The poison acts in peculiar man
ner, the tarantula becoming paralyzed.
In this state the eggs of the hawk are laid
into the spider, who remains alive to be
| slowly deyoured by the hungry larvae.

SENIOR MoNTT Of the Chilean Congress
sional party has issued at Washington a
pamphlet arraigning Balmaceda as a
traitor and usurper, and giving all the
facts claimed by the Congressionalists as
justifying their course. We have ex-
amined the document and confess that it
is strong, vigorous and confirms us in
the sympathy felt for the insurgents.
The story comes from Washington that
the State Department viii soon recall its
order and give the Congressional dep
utation hearing upon the claim for
recognition by the United States of the
Chilean insurgents as belligerents. If
Senor Montt makes before the State De-
partment one-half as strong an argument
as he has set out in his pamphlet, he
ought to win recognition.

a WONDERFUL story comes from Illi-
nois of the entire success of sky bicyc-
list in steering balloon against the wind,
on a tack with the wind quartering, in
the teeth of strong gale, and of his so
managing his air ship that he rose or
landed precisely as he desired. If it is
true that all this was done, then aerial
navigation in normal states of the atmos-
phere has really been attained. There
have been approaches to it before, but
none that were so successful as that re-
ported from Illinois.

THE Socialist Congress at Brussels is
not by any means happy family. The
discordant elements are such that the
body is constantly facing south by north.
1t adopts resolution to please one fac
ton, and tails upon it another to satisfy
its opponents. 1t is sadly mixed-up
mess of agitators, Anarchists, Socialists,
sincere believers in needed reforms, radi-
cal, ratified and silly shouters for the un-
attainable, and cunning, vicious, design
ing rascals who promote agitations in
order to fatten upon the earnings of the
wage-winners.

The farmers' union., 1891-08-20

In the grange movement Of j de-
cade and Il half ago, the farmer
sought to increase his income by de-
creasing the market price of all that
it was necessary for him to purchase
These supplies wese the products OF
wage labor, and any fall in prices
furnished an excuse for reducing
wages. So far as the grange move
meEt took this direction, any advan-
tagc that it gained was taken direct
j., from the wages Of the operative
without any compensatlng advan-
tage from an improved market for
the products Of wage labor among
farmers. The present movement OF
the farmers to secure more for their
wheat is just the reverse Of the
grange strike against the city me-
chanics, instead of the spectators,
years ago. If the farmer succeeds
in securing larger price for the pro
ducts of his farm, he will furnish Il
better market for the products of the
wage worker, and just the conditions
under which larger wages may be de
mandeG. This will be Il colnpens;,-
ton for any increase in the cost of
living, and the higher the standard
OF living that the wage worker can
establish for himself, the more will

ducts. As intelligent beings both
farmers and wage workers hould co
operate together to increase the mar
ket price of labor and labor's pro
ducts. The State.

some democrats hold with the old

that subject, The wealthy ones of
