would expose herself by the violation Of
rights and interests of the Ottoman en-
pire repose, together with the arrange
ments accepted by Russia IN the Balkan
peninsula and already violated in part.
1t is reported that the czar intends to
force the Bulgarian question to settle
mens by inviting Turkey to use her pre-
rogative as q sovereign power to compel
ton of all the governments that signed the
treaty of Berlin before his authority can
be accepted as legitimate.
This demand would force Prince Ferdi-
nand of Bulgaria to abdicate, as. of
course, the cabinets of Paris and st.
Petersburg would refuse to sanction his
sovereignty. The governments of Ger
many, Austria and Italy would declare
openly for Prince Ferdinand. This would
mean an open rupture between the great
powers without any other issue than that
Of war.
These facts make it clear that the car

mand of Turkey final settlement of the
status of Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria
under the treaty of Berlin. It is not at
all probable that the car will soon exc
cute this intention imputed to him. for
he is not yet ready for war in armament,
in the means of mobilizing his troops and
in his army chest.
The turbulent condition of affairs in
Servia is viewed with apprehension as a
possible threat to the peace of Europe. for
the car would never permit the throne Of
Servia to be pulled down. Finally there
are signs of increasing bad feeling
to the point of almost unbridled hostility
between Russia and Germany. The TWO
governments, for example, have just re-
spectively suppressed the post of attaches
militaires, which were in existence during
the past sixty years in each embassy.
AT st. Petersburg the elimination of the
German element, which occupied such q
large place in the administrations. is 60
ing on more and more openly. At Berlin
they are carrying on q regular campaign
against Russian finances and against
everything which interests the credit of
Russia.
Emperor William recently committed an
act of public discourtesy to the car. At the
services celebrated on the occasion of the
anniversary in the chapel of the Russian
embassy at Berlin, there was neither a
representative of the emperor of Germany
nor delegation from either of the two
German regiments of which Alexander
III. is the honorary chief.
The able Paris correspondent of the New
York Sun recites all these ominous facts
and says:
Everything il ready for war. and nothing ia

Mr.. Mills. of Texas, not only believes in
free trade, but he believes in an income
tax, and his presence on the floor of the
Fifty-third congress Will be assurance
that If the Democratic party does not
promptly repeal the Mckinley act and
give the country both free raw materials
and free goods i. will not be the fault of
Mills, of Texas.
The prospect of a square, manful &C
ceptance and enactment of the Chicago
tariff plank with oil 1t clearly implies will
be welcomed by every intelligent, honest
advocate of protection; he is perfectly
willing to leave the vindication of the
soundness of the American policy Of pro-
lection TO the result Of a genuine expert
ment of free trade all round, free raw ma
terials and free goods. and therefore every
intelligent protectionist will read Mills
speech with pleasure, for he knows there is
q man with the courage of his convictions
behind his speech, and it will not be his
fault If the country does not speedily get
the free trade implied by the Chicago
plank of tariff for revenue only. Mills
is free trader by intellectual inheritance
because he is believer in Calhounism for
the South today and tomorrow, inst as he
was in the yesterday of ante-bellum times,
and probably the great mass Of the South
ern people agree with him.

Sir Frederick Roberts, who has been re-
tired from the command of the British
forces in India. has served in that region
throughout his military career His father
was Gen. Abraham Roberts, who served in
the first Afghan war. and his mother was
an Irish woman from Tipperary. Sir
Frederick was born in 1882. He served
through the famous mutiny in 1878 and
was engaged in the operations ending in
the relief of Lucknow, of which Tennyson
has sung. 1t was at this time that he won
the Victoria cross for personal bravery on
the battlefield. Gen. Roberts also served
in the Abyssinian campaign in 1868, and IN
1S79-s0 he commanded the army that de-
feated Ayub Khan. He became baronet
in 1881. Gen. Roberts retirement is said
to be due to i'll health and long service,
but it is suspected that he is not in har-
mony with the Gladstone government.

THE RYDER ROAD,

Timely nud Important.
In Portage county, Ohio, is long,

No weeds nor rubbish are allowed in
its neat borders, shaded by handsome
naples; no uptidy farms blot its vicio-
ity, but farms broad and goodly To the
sight bearing luXurant crops, spread
out on either side through its whole
length. All this has been accomplished
by persistent and united energy of the
neighboring farmers. Good roads and
tidy farms, wherever found, are sure
evidence of thrift and intelligence. II

TO accumulate in the corners of the

Have Come Into Favor, With New Ones
Made in Antique Patterns
All sorts of odd and old-fashioned
trinl1ets are coming into favor. Old
fashioned pendent brooches that have
been treasured up for years are now be-
ing brought out and worn with picture
gowns. There is perfect furore for
buckles of every description, and every
body is ransaclling old boxes Of heir
looms, and worrying their elderly rela-
tives for the old paste or silver buckles
of former days. There is great fascina-
tion even in the new ones made now in
all the old patterns, for they smarter
up old gowns, lend attraction to slen-
der waists, give style to quaint head
gear, and dressy daintine SIS to a plain
slipper. In pins the bow knot still
seems to be popular, though the medal
lions and enameled flowers are losing
ground. But the new est design is the
dagger or scimitar with jewelled hilt
and jewelled tip, which fit over the
point after the pin is inserted. These
are shown in larger sizes and with most
imposing hilts for wearing in the hair
The most beautiful production of the
jewelers. art yet displayed is the carved
moonstone pins set in circles of small dia-
monds. One particularly fine specimen
represents a sleeping Venus guarded by
loves. The lights of the stone brought
out in the carvings are exquisite beyond
description. All kinds of hair orna-
ments have increased in size to an
alarming extent, and bid fair 10 rival
the huge shell and silver combs worn
so proudly by our grandmotners.
Pierced work, chased and tiligreed gold
are still the favorite materials, and
very beautiful pins are made of shell
with gold fligree border or delicately
chased inlaid pattern. Scroll-like pat
terms in great variety are seen, and
some of the old-fashioned back comb
patterns. In precious stones the fancy
increases rather than wanes for the use
of small stones made up in the old
French patterns and frequently used as
the setting for larger precious stones.
Thus diamond and ruby of good size
are set in hoop of diamond-incrusted
gold. One of the rare designs is that of
q chrysanthemum, each of its feathery
petals formed both outside and inside
of diamonds. Necklaces are much more
elaborate, and have either fringe of
iewelled flowers or are fitted about the
neck by means of spring each end be-
ing finished with elaborate and beauti-
full ornaments.
In jewelry for men the designs show
tendency for more elaborate effects,
particularly in scarf pins, which come
in leaf and other patterns made up Of
small jewels enclosing one or more of
large size. The dagger design here
prevails as in the ornaments worn by
ladies, and seem to be the favorite OF
the season. N Y. Sun.

The Profit In Ashes.

Ashes used as fertilizer are gen.
orally very profitable. They supply
potash to stimulate the nerves of the
growing plants and are thus true ma
J nure. In contact with clay soil they
liberate the phosphate of lime, with
manure they hasten decomposition. 1t
does not pay farmer to produce less
on his land than it is capable of pro-
ducing. A large crop exhausts it's fer
tility more than a small one, but the
cost of harvesting the large one is very
little more than it costs to harvest a
small crop. Part of the profits from
the larger crop can be used in restoring
the fertility of the land. 1t is only
when there is profit from crops to re-
store fertility that failure in farming
can be averted, To get immediate re-
turns, potash is necessary in some
form, and, if properly used, it will en-
able the farmer to have a succession of
large crops, thereby leaving him profit
able returns, part of which can be
used in restoring the soil With small
crops and no returns, the end is fail
ure, and ashes help to supply a strong
and quick growth. IN. L. Homestead.

MODERN WASP WAISTS.
Physical Imperfections Caused by Tigh



Physical Imperfections Caused by Tight
Lacing.
The study of the matter of proportion
in the human figure during the last
fifteen years led us long ago to the be-
lief that the average civilized woman,
at least in this country, had waist too
small for the rest of her body. We will
not venture to say, as some irascible
critics have said, that the narrow
waists of our American women are pro-
ductive of waspishness of temper, but
we have demonstrated by careful
study of the matter in hundreds of
cases that the smallness of waists in
women is a deformity, and is invariably
connected with internal deforni-
ties and morbid conditions. 1t is
the small waist which renders the
American woman so much of an invalid
and so feeble, when compared with
man, that she has come to appropriate
without remonstrance the appellntion,
''the weaker vessel" What is the
proper waist proportion? is question
which has been earnestly asked by
those who are seeking through physical
culture and the adoption of a healthful
mode of dress, to acquire natural sym
metry and proportion.
We have endeavored to solve this
question by the study of the waists of
peasant women and the women of saw
age or semi-savage tribes, and lastly by
careful study of the proportion of an
cient statues of women. We made the
basis of our study the relation of the
waist measure to the height of the in
dividual. This proportion is obtained
by dividing the waist measure by the
height, the result being the percentage
represented by the waist In the Venus
de Milo we find the waist to be 47.6 per
cent of the height, while in the aver
age American it is less than 40 per cent.
of the height, which means n difference
of several inches. A woman five feet
four inches in height, with the same
proportions as the Venus de Milo,
would have waist measurement Of
80 inches. A waist measure 40 per cent.
of the height would be but 25.6 inches.
The difference between these two
measures must show just the difference
between robustness and abundant vi
tality and weakness, suffering disease
and inefiicieucy.
The writer has recently made some
studies of the waist width or breadth
in ancient models and found the width
of the trunk at its smallest part in the
Venus de Milo to be Is per cent of the
height. In the Venus de Genetrix the
percentage is slightly less while in the
Venus de Medici it is q little more than
10 per cent The average of fifteen
American women taken without selec-
ton was found to be 14.5 per cent. DIR.
