NOTES..

Gray is 2 more economical color than tan
for gloves, as it cleans better.
Short. stout women should not wear frills
around the edge of their bodices.
The most fashionable black lace for the
moment bears the design of the bow or true
lovers knot.
Some new and pretty belts which hail
from Paris are made of elastic wire. and
can be had in gold, silver, jet or bronze.
Without doubt the princess shape will
be largely worn this winter, for it SO
closely follows the prevailing fashion of
dress.
In Paris many of the skirt backs are gath
cred in place of the everlasting fan plaitS,
and pannier effects are limited at in the soft
side drapery.
Gray in all shades predominates, and
those who admire light tints select one of
Henrietta cloth.
nothing will make it quite as decorative as
bandana handkerchiefs tied in each corner
in fashion that pleases you, and is odd.
Felt hats in shaggy cancels hair effects.
also felts notified, heather-mixed, shot,
and ombred, are brought out. to be worn
en- suit with tailor costumes of similar pat
tern.
There is a tendency toward simple trim
ming for the bottom of skirts. Bias velvet
in three rows is used on wool dresses, and
the edge is sometimes cut in scallops, or
teeth, to show a narrow ruffie underneath.
When dress is in two separate pieces it
will be found to be an excellent plan to have
three hooks at the three seams on the I'M
derside of the bodice at the waist line,
which may be fastened to hooks in CORE
spending places on the skirt
The young girl who is fortunate enough
to get little silver bonbon box
for her birthday, can now choose one on
which is enameled, in its natural colors,
her favorite flower, of course, in miniature
Rosebuds, white and purple lilacs, violets
and daisies seem to be ones specially
liked.
Empire gowns with short waists and
broad sashes, and sleeves with immense
puffs at the top are far from being novel in
this country, as they have been worn
although to be sure not very generally for
the last two or three years 1t is now IN
derstood that there Is an attempt at the re-
viyal of this style in France, but it is
shifted at as too plain.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Never let cooked food of any kind stand
in tin.
An hours rest taken fiat on the back each
day will save tired woman from nervous
prostratiou.
1t is said that strong solution of epson
salts in water will cure burns If applied
Immediately.
Borax-water will instantly, remove all
soils and stains from the hands, and heal
all scratches and chafes.
To grow cuttings successfully let them
stand week in water before planting them,
then stick them in the ground horizontally
never straight
In warm weather it is best to cool the
blood by letting cold water run over the
wrists. and by wetting the head rather
than by drinking ice water.
The best thing to do when hot grease has
been spilled on floor is to quickly dash
cold water over it, as this prevents it strik-
ing into the boards.
To make the woodwork of furniture look
as good as new mix two parts of unboiled
linseed oil with one part of spirits of tur-
pentine, and rub with q wooden cloth.
Thefollowing is said to be an effective
cure for dandruff: Dissolve half of )
cents worth of salts Of tartar in warm wa
ter and wash the head thoroughly. Rinse
in cool water. Repeat this at intervals of
three months for year.
To keep the beautiful iron work which
serves so many ornamental purposes at the
present time free from rust, simple pro-
cess only is needed, although the implement
IS a rather curious one; heat the iron and
rub over it cows horn. The horn leaves
slight coating on the iron which acts as a
preservative, and will not wear off under a
year, even il exposed to the winds and
weathers of out-of-doors
Flies do not like the odor of burning pep
per. A quarter of fresh meat may be safely
hung up in an open house if pepper smoke
be kept up. The flies will not go near it,
and there is but little danger of the meat
becoming tainted. OF course this method
cannot be adopted unless there is a building
apart from tho dwelling which can be used,
for people as well as flies object to pepper
smoke

! If girl feels the necessity of earning her

October weddings suggest thoughts as to
the future of the newly married. Married
life in the cities too often opens in a board
ing-house. The divine ideal of a wife is
helpmeet for man, and by no possibility
can this ideal be realized in a boarding
house. Every woman truly wife will de-
sire to help her husband and to cherish
feeling of independence. These are incom-
patible with boarding. Her life then is
life of ldleness; its ennui only relieved
by gossip or worse. 10 read light litera-
ture, to crochet or sew at fancy work is not
married life, and true love is almost sure to
starve on boarding house diet.

Mrs. Helen NJ Cougar, the Iowa Prohi-
bitionist, does not intend that Mr.. Nc
hinley's political pathway through Ohio
shall be strewn with roses, but will con-
front his arguments in favor of high pro-
tective tariff with her own advocacy of
low tariff and high wages. Ere the cam
paign closes it is probable that the author
OF the noted bill will wish to exchange the
platform for the corner of 4 housetop,
which experienced Solomon preferred to
wide house with brawling woman.

The skirt, the corset and the high-heeled
shoes may be radically and hopelessly

of dress reformers, but the majority of
women will decide that the "trouserette"
is radically and hopelessly hideous and con-
tinue to prefer for themselves the time
honored petticoat, leaving to the opposite
sex the wearing OF trousers minus the

For the Gazette
IN OCTOBER.

All, there magic in the love-laden summer,
In its glad days SO wonderfully bright,
When the birds songs, the south winds and
roses
Fill the heart with a subtle delight
In the months when the warm smile of beauty
Ger the splendid old earth loves TO fall
But October with its Circean glories
Is the royal. crowned queen OF them all.
What a wonderful, mystical splendor
Is abroad Ger the earthi In the air
There S haze as tho rovalty's purple
Casts its shadow in dim beauty there.
In the woodlands magic hands painting
Every leaf with the tendereSt OF dyes
All tne splendor and rich beauty lying
Meath the dreaniest OF family flushed skies!
There's an undertone current OF music
In the deep woods So full OF delight,
All above and below and around US
In the sweet solemn silence OF night.
All the blue girded stars seems TO love Us
As they smile from their dark heights above,
All the winds In this deep purple weather
Are as soft as the whispers Of love-
But while all earth grows wondrous and "a
diant
With beauty, resplendent as brief.
With It's crowns OF thorns and of roses
Time is gathing the year in his sheaf
He Is gathering the gold of the harvest.
Ana tse tares II ~ We We sown it among;
Ar the wild woods are but painted pages
Where he's writing m e songs we have sung,
Yonder warm crimson shaded to purple

And the gray ashen banners there floating
They are symbols OF hopes that have died.
There's world OF suggestions evasiTe
In this mystical beauty know,
And in the finer deep feelings that thri ! US
There's meaning and tenderness, too
There's subtitle and inflowing sadness
That perplexes v It frcshens the soul,

Mayhaps it's the great heart OF nature
Athrill with its manifol cry,

For the springs but the 81 md resurrection

State. These farmers report the following

lnese farmers report also that they pay in
taxes total of S1S,679. This is at the rate of
trifle over 10 mills on the dollar. The aver
age rate of taxation in the cities of the state
Is at least 20 mills on the dollar, so if these
returns OF the farmers are correct they are
about eight mills better off in the tax rate
than residents of cities. 1t must be
borne in mind also that many of
the agricultural towns receive more from
the school mill tax than they pay out for
their whole state tax assessment, this tax
being so levied that the larger places help
the smaller ones support their schools. For
instance the whole of Hancock county paid
in 1888 state tax of $22. s6l4S, and re-
ceived back through the school mill fund ap-
portionment $2S,100e9. Aroostook paid
S20,93l.93. while it received back $33, 1876.
Cumberland. on the other hand, by reason
of containing the city of Portland. paid a
state tax of Sal, 924.16, and received
back only $49,524 So. For every dollar
that Hancock county paid in 1888 on the
State tax it received one dollar and five
mills for the support of its schools. Now
fifteen farmers in Hancock county report to
Commissioner Matthews that they own real
estate and personal property to the amount
of $5S, 425, and pay taxes to the amount of
1886, or rate of about - mills on the
dollar But the state tax paid by most of the
Hancock county farmers comes back to them
In the shape of support for their schools,
so that really they contribute nothing to the
support OF the state government. And what
is true of the farming towns of Hancock
county is true Of the farming towns of the
other counties. Practically they contribute
very little, and many of them nothing, to the
support of the state government, the ex-
pense of that being paid largely by the
cities and large towns. Thus, while con-
siderable part of the taxes paid by the cities
go to the support of the state government
from which the smaller places derive their
full share of the benefit, the taxes of the
small towns 60 almost entirely to the direct
benefit of those towns. Such being the fact,
If the returns of the representative farmers
of the state to Mr.. Matthews. of the value of
their property and the taxes they pay, be
correct, 1t looks as If the burdens of taxa
tion under which they are suffering are not
quite SO 0nerous as they have been accus-
toned to suppose.

The remarks" of farmers in the various
towns as given in Commissioner Matthews's
report indicates wide divergence of opin-
lon as to the causes which are responsible for
the alleged depressed condition of agricul-
ture. A Presque Isle farmer thinks that
farmers who attend to their business and
are not standing round with both hands In
their pockets, sucking black pipes" are all
right" A farmer In North Troy thinks
that farming is now ''precarious business"
and that in order to live the farmer must not
only "hold or drive" but do both. Down in
Princeton the chief complaint is want OF
market and lack of railroad connections.
"Houlton" reports that western grain and
meat are killing the Maine farmer. Sanger
vile" reports that the outlook for farming
in that section is "deplorable. "Vassalbo-
m" predicts that the farmer will go to the
wall unless Corporations, bondholders and
capitalists share the burdens of taxation"
"West Willimantic" reports that his farm
was wild woods" when he "struck it forty
seven years ago." Hehas had hard luck, hay
ing paid out for sickness more than twice as
much as he now has, Have lost two wives
and thirteen children, and paid all the bills
from the products Of the farm" Indus
try" complains of lower prices for farm pro-
duce and higher taxes. "Chesterville" re-
ports that he has earned money enough to
pay the taxes while his neighbor has been
loafing about the village store and scolding
about "hard times" "Kenduskeag" predicts
revolution and civil war unless we have
more equal taxes. He complains that the
lumber kings pay no taxes.
