Bad Schools for Girls.

As to bad schools-schoOls that in stretch.
ing after the mint and anise and cumin
lose all that might have given success
they are many. 1t seems sometimes that
there is no profession in which there is 81
much humbug as in that of education. and
the utter inability of the parent 20 deter
mine what kind of a school it is into which
he decides to put his little girl has, to
those who stand behind the scenes, very
much of the pitiful When, however. we
think of one or two other professions, we
doubt and are silent. One is reminded of
the nurse maid who never stood in need Of
a thermometer for the water for the babys
bath, because if the baby came out red,
she knew it had been too hot, and # it
came out blue, she knew it had been TOO
cold. Zoo many father finds, when it is
too late, that he made mistake in the
school to which he trusted the training of
his little girl. But how could he have
known before?
There was much shrewdness in the en-
ployer who quite unmindful of the appli-
cant's having afterward been graduated
from Yale, engaged him at once as soon as
he knew that he had been expelled from a
certain university. For girl to have been
at some schools for any length Of time is a
certificate of frivolity, lack of consistent
purpose and thoroughness, and, what is Of
more consequence, of any real reverence
for truth or her own womanhood.-Anna
&. Bracket in Harper'S.

The wise doctors grow wiser with each
year. Time was when they were wise
enough to tell Us that the chief Of sins
against ones stomach was TO give 1t
work to do before putting 1t TO bed.
This was declared to be the fruitful
source Of dyspepsia and nightmare and
other unholy Affections They are wiser
now, and tell Us that so far from being
wrong to ourselves 70 eat before going ~
bed ii is a wise and desirable thing to
do. especially in case of delicate persons
and growing children, or when the food
has had time TO thoroughly digest before
the sleeping hour.

Don't Neglect the Boys Room.

Too little attention is given 10 the boys
room, who sometimes feels injured to see
all the fancy articles carried off to his SIS
ter's shrine, though he will doubtless de
clare he hates fused up things. II You
want TO make the young man OF the family
thoroughly happy see that he has an ample
washstand With a very large basin and
room TO splash. He will appreciate this
more than dotted muslin draperies. Then
he prefers a single brass pedstead. or, il
this is too expensive, an iron one painted.
He may be quite fastidious about this, lik-
ing a chintz fiounce like his curtain and
easy chair cushion, or he may deem
fiounces and frills unsuitable for the abode
of boy.
As he grows older there is one piece OF
furniture which is just as popular with
young men as the dressing table Is with
Young women. 1t is a combination dress
ing stand with mirror at the right height
for shaving, above two small drawers for
his ties, stud box and other small be-
longings Below are three or four large
drawers for shirts and underwear There
are several varieties Of these stands Col
lar and cuff boxes are a necessity, not
luxury, if you would teach him neat hab-
its. His manicure set may also be just az
elegant as his sisters. He needs few
hanging booksbelves for those authors
who are his peculiar delight, and perhaps
a cabinet for the curiOsities which he has
interested himself TO collect. 81 viii do

Movable Curtain Pole.

A firm in Birmingham, England, is
manufacturing new style of pole for
hanging portieres in such manner that
the curtain will not interfere with open
ing the door. One of the brackets sup
porting the pole is attached to the door
frame, the other being fastened to the
door itself. A joint in the pole on the
line of the hinge of the door allows the
pole to swing back with the door when
opened. The pole is held loosely in the
bracket on the door and slides over
small roller in the bracket when the
door is moved.

why Japanese Women Look Pleas

why Japanese Women Look Pleasant.
Perhaps the secret of the sweet express
sion and habitual serenity of the Japanese
women can be found in their freedom from
small worries. The fashion of dress never
varying saves the wear of mind over that
subject, and the baroness of the houses
and simplicity of diet make housekeeping
mere bagatelle. Everything is exouis-
itely clean and easily kept so. There is no
paint, no drapery, no crowd of little orna-

ADMIRAL wALKea,s MISSION.

Venezuela win BE Forced to Give Up
Kidnapped Political Refugees.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE news which
the navy department gave out very briefly
today, stating that the Concord, the first
Of Admiral Walkers squadron TO arrive at
La Guayra, had been ordered to proceed to
Puerto Cabello, eighty or a hundred miles
up the coast, now that the Kearsarge had
arrived TO relieve guard at La Guayra, Is
understood to mean more than the simple
announcement would imply.
Navy officials intimate that the political
refugees who were forcibly taken from on
board the American "Red Dn steamer Ca
racas are believed 20 be imprisoned by
General Urdeneta, the Venezuelan official
who ordered their arrest, at Puerto Cabello,
and Commander Whites mission with the

lie Opens the Republican CnmpaigI
with a Tnrln Speech.

DAVIS, Sept. ia-Stephen b. Elkins,
secretary OF war, opened the Republican
campaign here lie was enthusiastically
cncerod by an immense audience. lie said
in substance:
Ia 1850, after long years OF Democratic rule
and partial FREQ trade such as that party now
wants, tho government found itself nearly
bankrupt without credit, with an empty troas-
my, To- obligations selling below par ana its
laws doiled. Tho Republican party came into
power under these trying circumstances and
enacted the Morrill, tariff under which the gov
eminent was enabled 10 carry on tho civil war,
60 afford protection 90 American Industries and
60 give great prosperity 10 tho country. so
great has been this prosperity that at the end
OF thirty years tho United States stands the
richest country IN the world and her poople the
most prosperous and contented
since the war the Republican party has moved
forward IN the direction OF modifying the tariff
aud reducing taxation. This reduction has
gone on wisely and as the needs of the govern
mont required, until how we have reached "a
point where more than ono.half Of all tho for
eign goods and products imported are admitted
free Of duty. The amount Of tax we now col.
lcct on foreign goods brought here and sold in
competition with goods made by our people
amounts TO only about sl70,O0OOOO Since 1889
We have increased the list OF goods admitted
free from 500 OuO,Ou 90 BS U0JOO The duti-
able list during tho Same time has boon reduced
from sass O0O1J TO S35g0OOJO, making % re-
duction Of more than tluQOJO0O1
Surely this should ho satisfactory TO tho
most ardont free trader but IL IL not At y
time when most OF tho civilized countries OF the
world arc adopting protection tho Democratic
party makes war on 1t, advocates froo trade
aud damnnds that raw materials should be FREQ.
Tho Republican party declares that II viii
mover consent 60 free trade. but win continue
ia the future 90 IN tho past TO reduce tho tax
un foreign gooda and products brought into
this country % 30 sold IN competition with
those produced by our people, N continue 90
admit foreign products free Whenever and
just as fast as il may appear 10 DO to tho inter
eats OF all tho people OF the United States to do
90 aud not before.
Following out these declarations Mr..
Elkins spoke at length upon the constitu-
tiOuality Of our tariff laws called in ques-
ton by the Democratic party, and then
described some Of the benefits the country
had received and is receiving under tho Re-
publican policy OF protection, and also some
OF the bad effects that would be likely 20
come 10 various sections OF the country,
particularly tho south, should the Demo.
cratic demand for FREQ raw materials be
complied with. He closed his speech by
discussing some Of the state issues, and de-
claiing that never In tho history OF the
state had there been presented TO the poo
ple n better ticket
