What Your Great Grandmother
 Did

She hetcheled the flax and carded the wool, and wove the linen, aud spun the tow, and made the clothes for her husband and ten children She made butter and cheese, she dipped tallow canples, to light the house at night, and she cooked all the food for her household by an open fire. place and brick oven, Yes; and when she was forty years of age, she was already an old lady whose best days were over. Her shoulders were bent and her joints enlarged by hard work, and she wore spectacles and a cap, Her great granddaughter with all the modern convenicnces for comfort, refinement and luxury, may be as charming and attractive at forty-five as at twenty. Especially is this true if she preserv- cs her health and beauty by the ust of pr Pierce's Fayorite Prescription which wards off all female ailments and irregularities, cures them if they already exist, keeps the life current healthful and vigorous, and enables the woman of middle age to retain the freshness of girlhood upon brow and cheek, the light of youth in her eyes, and it's elasticity in her step.

REST CONFETTI AFTER ALL.

Though friends desert you in the race for fame, Though fortune leaves you for some other goal; Though you are blameless, yet you receive much blame, Though sorrow dwelleth deep within your soul, Though life has been a failure and you plod Footsore and weary OCT this earthly ball, Still if you have a faith, trust in God,
 Rest cometh after all. Rest cometh after all, then higher climb; Rest comcth after all though wealth de- parts, The world may blame you, yet rest sub lime Shall drive the sorrow from yonr heart of hearts: Though life's sad failures make you on ward plod, Sin-sick and weary till you reach the pail, Still ifyou have q faith, trust in God,
 Rest comcth after all.

Who Cares for Expenses.

We are accustomed to feeling of sympathetic sorrow when we read of the great burdens the people of Europe have to bear in supporting enormous standing armies. That is all right, for the army of Russia costs Sl25, ,000, ,000; that of France, S12l ,000, ,000; that of Great Britain, S90, ,000 ,000. These are round fig ures taken from the American Alma nae. But what of onr own people who are paying for army and militia " pensions $50, ,000,00 per annum-- S55, ,000,00 more than the most cost ly standing army in the world. Is it any wonder that discontent pre- vails throughout the country among the people upon whom this huge burden rests? Would it be q sur prising thing if this feeling should gather q force and fury that will wipe out the entire system? Found ed in political corruption, being es- sentially robbing the laboring peo- pie of their earnings to bribe voters with, it forms load that no people or country fit to live in can long bear. Patriotic men of both politic- al parties are speaking cut against the present pension system. Texas Farm and Ranch.

Points About Advertising.

John Wanamaker, who can claim to speak from experience, says: Il never in my lfe used such thing as a poster or dodger or handbill. My plan for fifteen years has been to buy so much space in the news papers and fill it up with what l wanted. 1 would not give an adver- tisement in newspaper of 300 cir culation for 5000 dodgers or posters. If l wanted to sell cheap jewelry or run gambling scheme l might use posters, but 1 would not insult a decent public with handbills. The class of people who read such things are poor material to look to for sup port in the mercantile affairs. l deal directly with the publisher. l say to him: How long will you let me run column of matter through your paper for Sl00 or S500?'' as the case may me. let him do the figuring, and if think he is not try ing to take more than his share l give him the copy. lay aside the profits on certain line of goods for advertising purposes, The first year l laid aside s, ,000; last year l laid aside and spent S40,000. l have done better thls year and shall increase that sum as the profits war rant it. l owe my success to the newspapers"- Building and Trades Journal.

her side pushed back the curls from l her low white forehead and asked "Well, little one?' she, started up, blushing guiltily, and murmured something about being homesick.
 II was homesick, too, Fay, and that is why am here. :" t.
 "How could you," she asked ', hotly holding mp the beautiful vol ume, take such a revenge?"
 Il do not quite understand, he replied, gazing down into the flower face that looked almost irresistible :; with the fresh traces of tears like dew-drops still on it. "How have I taken revenge, Fay!" and he put one finger under her chin, as if she were little, wllful child. .-
 She drew away from him, and, looking up into his face, which was certainly grave enough now, said:
 "You were laughing at me last spring, when--when-'' She stam- mered and blushed.
 "When you did not want such an idle husband, eh? Why, l honored you for your forethought :"
 No, no; you were laughing at me. Then again, I believe when you chose the title for your last W ork-"
 ''I only christened it in honor of a dear little girl who, in her purity and sweetness, always reminds me of a far flower Do you remember, l told you I should never see an ap- pie blossom but that it would remind me of that hour" It is fresh in my memory yet; and if you are satisfied with my achievements l will renew the offer. Is it worth while, pet: :: 1 shall never love another. l do not think it quite fair for the men to be the only workers in life's busy hive, and verily believe it is your mis- sion to take charge of me. :"
 Ut will not be a very difficult mission," she answered, smiling, as her head rested against his shoulder, and he kissed the upturned lips.

FORWARD, MARCH!

The studied and adroit effort of the Republicans, assisted by a few Democratic echoes, to give to the result of the Speakership contest a significance beyond the confines of the National House of Representa- tives, and above the organization of the popular body of Congress, was to be expected,
 In such contests such aspirant seeks to put his best foot foremost. He, and he alone, becomes for the time being, by the claim of his back CTS, the one original Jacobs. As a rule these pretentions go for what they are worth, and die when a choice is made. That they should be taken up by the enemy and used to tranquillze the defeated, to pro- yoke dissension, and to make divi- sions, is natural, legitimate and inevitable branch of partisan warfare. But it is only with the very ignorant or the very weak that such tactics obtain recognition. Sensible people understand them perfectly, discount them at their true value, and pass on to matters of real pith and point.
 The truth is, it is time that this one-man idea had its quietus. We are all good Democrats. We are all good Tariff Reformers. The fight within the party on this issue is over and the victory for Tariff Reform is gained. The attention of the coun- try has been fixed upon the question It is there to stay, and it will not be diverted until the robbcr war tariff is put upon an honest peace-footing. Meanwhile, who shall say that he, and he alone, embodies all in all the virtue and strength of this great Democratic idea, issuing proclama- tons as to the soundner or unsound- ness of this, that or the other Dem ocrat?
 Let Us make simple, practical illustration. It is sought by the Republicans to identify Mir. Crisp with Mir. German, and then to make it appear that Mir. German is a Pro tectionist. This IS the sheerest par tisan rubbish. If it were true, it would imply that MT. Cleveland is a protectionist, for Mir. German was Cleveland's immediate personal rep resentative in the National Demo- cratic Convention in 1888, and, when Mir. German went down into the Platform Committee of that con vention, MT. Cleveland, who had di- rected everything planned it all, went down with hlm.
 It is not wise, it is not right, it is not fair that such facts as these should be withheld from the people, and that, under cover of misrepre- sentation and misadvsement, dissen- tions and divisions should be allow ed to creep in and darken the coun- cils of political household, which is at bottom one with itself, and has no reason for dissonance of any krnd. Mir. German is as good a tariff reformer as Cleveland, and MT, Crisp is as good tariff reform CT as Mir Mills. - [Courier Journal.

As to Gerrymanders.

Musing on the recommendations of the presidents message in the matter of the "gerrymander.' the New York Evening Post gives some striking examples of it's practical workings-thus:
 Abiding in his message to the legislative gerrymanders which but tress" gerrymanders of congress sional districts, President Harrison cites county in certain state where ''theIe districts for the elec- ton of the members of the legisla- ture are constituted as follows: One has 65 ,000 population, one l5,- 900 and on 10,000." He could have instanced far worse case than this in Connecticut, where the Re- publicans are in both legislative houses the beneticiaries of gerry manueT WnlCu Is - DUllIeSSeu, not behind statute, but the more solid and enduring ramparts of state constitution. As to the lower house of Connecticut, the president would have fonnd one town with a popula- ton of 86 ,o40 capitalized with another town having population of but 431: {: and as to the state senate, district, which at the presidential election of 1888 cast 17,G49 votes equaiized with another district casting but 25S5 votes. How the system works in the upper house of congress may be shown by the case of United States Senator 0. II Piatt, who was reelected last January by l4l Re publican members of the COnnecti- cut legislature, representing towns

The tipsy fellow who was found leaning on the fence of church and asked if he wanted to join replied that he was leaning that way. The Del Rio Records Sunday sermon is against leaning. It says;
 Half, at least, of the disappointed men one meets with are the victims of ill-grounded hopes and expecta- tions-persons who have tried to lean upon others instead of relying upon themselves. This leaning is a poor business. It seldom pays. En- ergetic men-and they are the class es looked to for aid-do not like to be leaned upon. If you arc travel ing in a railroad car and a great hulking fellow lays his head against your shoulder and goes to sleep, you indignantly shake him off. It is the same in business. The man who does not at least attempt to 'hoo his own row. need not expect any one to hoe it for him. It is nonsense for any man to pretend to the digni- ty of being unfortunate who has de- pended upon others when he might have cloven way to fortune for himself.
