Large ties of India silk, with hem.
stitched edges, yard and half long
and quarter of a yard wide, are the
latest things to be worn with pretty
jackets. These come not only in white,
but in all bright colors. Crepe chiffon
and silk null are also much used.
Long coats of velvet are again worn
and are deliberately trimmed in fur.
These are pretty when made with the
seamless back, hanging full from the
shoulders and have no darts in front.
The flat, close fur is used more for trim.
ming them than that of longer hair.
Sleeves are growing lower, though as
full as ever. The loose, puffy sleeve
hanging over the deep cuff again seems
to be the favorite style. These deep
cuffs are not trimmed with buttons, as
heretofore, and when velvet and cloth
are combined the cuff is of the cloth and
the upper part OF the velvet.

We believe that the Colonel tells the
exact truth; and moreover, the Demo

candidate, because they know they can
beat him, they have their ammunition all

The church by her doctrines fos' cred
respect for woman. Woman's position
in the family became fairly established.
During the ages of chiyalry and of faith
woman's status steadily improved.
In England they still use the low cut
dress very much, much more than here.
1t seems that above the waist an English
woman does not fear to uncover herself;
provided she does not show her feet, she
is safe. When the streets are muddy,
you seldom gee an English woman lift
her skirt, nor do American women to
any extent indulge in that Partisan pro.
clivity. '.-1
The two great faults of the American
society women are Hypocrisy and self
consciousness, declares Professor David
living. We need more spontaniety in
our society. If women would only be
natural, if there was less posing for ef-
feet, If our girls would not forever be
thinking how they looked and how they
acted, they would be admired more by
discerning men.
This radical and far reaching revolu.
ton which is taking place in mems
minds has produced a striking result
among women themselves. With great
er liberty has come greater sense of re-
sponsibility. The agitation in favor of a
more practical education, dress reform
and many humanitarian projects shows
that the women of to-day are stronger,
wiser and more helpful than were their

TNE SHUTTING DOWN OF The
MINES.


The owners Of mines in the C6ur
d'Alene region have either suspended
operations altoc ether, or greatly our
tailed their working expenses. The
owners of several Of the principal
mines of Butte, Montana, have done
likewise. A similar condition OF
affairs prevails in Nevada and Col.
orado. This in consequence Of the
low price Of silvr All the mining
States snd Territories are therefore
suffering from the effects Of the
decentralization of silver to a greater
degree than ever before. Their
development is greatly retarded, and
the production OF the only "sinews OF
trade' which all civilization accepts
largely diminished.
So far the effects Of the demonetiza
ton of silver, while sufficiently APP
parent to thinking men, have not been
SO striking as to impress the working
masses, the SC. called slower millions
who live from hand to mouth, and
seldom, if ever, get "square" meal
or new suit Of clothes. But that is
because the stream of bullion was as
large as ever, although worth less pei

consumption OF agricultural produce
and of the products Of the loom and
