Gloves at Afternoon Teas.

Gloves, the browning finish of a well
dressed woman's costume in public, have
been of late years greatly misused in
American society. One sees them worn
at tea tables by the woman elected to
represent the hostess in pouring tea, and
even at dinner tables, where the wear
ers have been known to sit through
many courses with their right hands
barred, the hand of the right glove
tucked under the wrist, and the entire
left glove kept on. From time immemo-
rial the habitual dinner goers of good
society have removed both gloves imme-
diately after taking their places at the
table, and have resumed them upon re-
turning to the drawing room, or after
using the finger bowls, and before arts
ing from the feast.
Any departure from accepted custom
that has only eccentricity or desire for
innovation to recommend it should be
avoided; hence there. seems no cause for
taking up the curious fashion just men
toned, probably set in a needless mo-
ment by some leader of vogue or by an
unfortunate woman of rank whose hand
wasmade unpresentable by disfiguring
injury. Home Journal

Jenny Lind's FranknesS.

Jenny Lind's judgment of books
though undirected by anything like lit
erary training, always showed independ-
ence and penetration. She was de-
voted lover of Carlyle's writings, and
the last book she read before her death
was Mr.. Norton's volume of the CORE
spondence between Carlyle and Emer-
son. No doubt her admiration for the
great denouncer of shams was largely
due to the intense sincerity of her own
character, which made it impossible for
her to tolerate even those slight devia-
tions from strict truthfulness which are
seldom taken seriously, but are looked
upon as the accepted formula of society

courtesy with it.-R. j. Mcneil in Cen

Mixed Relationship.

There is family in the southern part
Of the county whose complicated rela-
tionship beats anything upon record.
The family name is Runk. A few years
ago the Runk family consisted of father
and two grown sons. In the same neigh
borhood there lived widow and her
two comedy daughters. The oldest one
of the Runk boys married one of the
widows daughters. The young mans
father married the other daughter. The
other one of the boys married the
mother. The question that now both

THE CABIN ON THE CLAIM.

Lonely. you say, with mighty arch
OF sky 50 grandly bending?
By bright hued clouds and glittering stars
tender message sending?
Joyless? When out of crimson cloud
The sunrise pours its glory,
Morn after morn repeating well
Aurora's cheerful story?
Peaceless? When night with noiseless feet,
From fields of herbs and flowers,
Sweet odors in her mantle dark
Bears to this cot of ours?
Like faintest sounds of distant seas
Founding some castle hoary,
We hear the great worlds roar and fret
And trace her changeful story.
As far away white cleaning sail,
Turning bend of river,
A noble deed with radiant flash
Makes every heartstring CULVER.
So. thankful, where the kindly stars
Spangle the blue with beauty,
We look and breathe the fervent wish
That all SsSx do their duty.

in the West in 1890. The Kansas man
took his seat on the Republican side of
the Senate, and, as rule, has seemed to
act mainly with the Republicans on
minor issues.
Mr.. Kyle has acted a similar part with
the Democrats. PETER has been rather
aggressive in bringing'forward matters
supposed to represent the reforms de-
manded by the Populist party.
Kyle has been strikingly modest, and
somewhat quiet, combining his attention
to merely routine business, and casting
his vote on every question.
Evidently these two gentlemen realize
the Importance of their position. Their
votes may be needed to organize the
senate next March, and in that case they
will have tremendous power and patron
age to divide among their friends and
supporters. The bright and aspiring
young Populists of Kansas and South
Dakota should make note of this fact,
and ask recognition from the men whom
their efforts served to elevate to so ex-
allied a position.
