The Partisan Fashion Journals.

ia Mode de Paris and "Album
dies Nodes" so well known as the
publications giving the choicest Paris
styles one month in advance of all
other journals, appear to be growing
just little toopopular. The demand
for them is growing SO rapidly that
the publishers, A. Mcdowell & Co.,
4 West ii Street, New York, have
found it difficult to keep up with the
increasing demand each month. They
claim that the American ladies are
buying their journals to such an ex-
tent that most Of the newsdealers are
entirely out of them by the fifth of
the month. As all the plates are
made in Paris by the best artists, the
publishers claim that it requires con
siderable time to catch up with such
an increased demand We agree with
our lady friends that these are superior
fashion journals. We suggest to them
to become regular subscribers, thus
making sure Of receiving their journal
each month, and securing tn valuable
book, "Dressmaking Simplihed," that
is given as a premium to each subs
criber paying $3.50 in advance for
either "La Mode de Paris or "Album
DIES Modes for one year. You may
place the order through your news
agent, or send direct to the publishers.

Pet Superstitions.


How many of us are there who do
not once in while feel just little
uncomfortable when we find that we
have sat thirteen at the table, or have
seen the moon over our left shoulders,
or have done any of the thousand and
one things that are supposed to por-
tend evil? Not that we think for a
moment any misfortune really will
happen in consequence Of these acts,
but tie suggestions are not pleasant,
and we wish our attention had not
been called to them.
Ofcourse we all laugh at supersti-
tions, and think them silly, as they
are, but, nevertheless, we do not get
away from the unpleasant feeling.
knew an old lady who considered
it positively wicked and unchristain to
give up to "foolish superstitions," but
she never would allow any one to rock
an empty chair in her presence. You
will see people in the street who have
been hurrying as if anxious to lose no
time, stop on a corner, and wait five
minutes for long funeral procession
TO pass. They have not the courage
to cross through it when an opportun-
ity is offered, although they may waste
moments that are golden to them.
The most sensible and practical
people in the world will often take
particular pains to skim off a patch of
bubbles that has risen to the top of
their tea, because some one in jest
has said it is "sure sign of money"
1t always requires a distinct effort
for me to pass a pin that | see lying
on the sidewalk, because Of that alb
surdly bad rhyme, which, of course, |
consider nonsense
''See pin and pick it up,
All the day you'll have good luck"
Sometimes these omens do not 90
well together, and even contradict
each other. For instance, one will
tell you that the only lucky way to
find a pin is with the head toward
you; and just as you have the habit of
going around looking for pins with
their heads toward you, acother man
will say, ''It is very unlucky to pick up
pin with the head toward you. The
only right way is to have the point to-
ward you, for then the luck will be
"sharp."
If at the table little salt is split
between two people, the way to avoid
a quarrel is for each to take a pinch
and throw it over his left shoulder.
Salt always has seemed wonderfully
powerful mineral from the time when
we were small. Which of us, when a
child. did not firmly believe in that
old joke about putting salt on birds
tail? l remember a curly-headed
little boy in kits who went out into
the garden with handful Of salt, re-
solved upon catching bird. He was
very patient, and cautiously tiptoed
around for long while. Finally, a
little discouraged, he went in to his
mother, and said, mournfully, "Mam.
ma, they all flew away" His mother
didn't laugh at him.
| When we stop to think, we wonder
how real these silly superstitions, in
which nobody believes, are in their
influence upon our actions. We hesi.
tate to start on journey on Friday
we walk out in the mud rather than
60 under ladder; we don't give
knives or sharp instruments to our
friends and we don't do a hundred
things that we might, all because,
though we are not superstitious, We
would rather not do what suggests
anything disagreeable.

dentials OF Mr.. Walthall, of Mississippi,
for the term beginning March 8, 1898,
were presented in the senate today and

a hypocrite- he (Alr. Turpie) having al
ways borne himself toward him as a
personal friend, and having congratu-
lated him OH tile supreme court deciS-
ion in the italy sheet" case.
Mr.. Turpie said ne had seen that in
terview only Yesterday. 1t was mis-
statement of the relations between.him-
self and Judge Woods. He had never
had any personal or social relations
with Judge Woods; he had never called
upon him socially or formally. but al
ways at his chambers in the federal
building. in the course Of business i'll
his court; his attitude toward Judge
Woods had always been that of granted
courtesy, of due Difference and civil
ity, of pronounced neutrality and of dis
tinct. decided indifference. The bill for
the RELIEF of settlers on public lands
(Which had been discussed and voted on
yesterday was again taken up. and it
was passed; yeas "a, nays %, party
vote, except that Mr.. Hale voted mo"
with the Democrats.

The Committee Will Consider the
Evidence in Body.
The committee remained IN session
but a short time and then adjourned
until this morning. The members re-
viewed the testimony in general man
ner. but owing to the lateness of the
hour very little was accomplished.
Senator Smith said that the committee
would consider the evidence under the
various heads, making a brief summary
of each. This would be included in the
report to the governor, together with
such suggestions which they might
deem advisable to make. In his opin-
ion the work would consume about one
week. The senator said he would pre-
fer to have reviewed the testimony in.
his own office, and prepared summary
for the testimony as be would a brief,
but it was the work of the committee to
review it in a body.
