A SHORT TARIFF SERMON.
Five Free Trade Periods are Their

Free trade has ad five periods Of re-
lative prevalence 10 the history Of the

Of domestic industries. These were:

The poor little woman was travelling
from Baltimore to Chicago on the B. s.

them were i'll and she had her hands
and lap more than full. Everyone in
the car tried throughout the day to do
what they could to alleviate her suffer-

with the not too inviting two-year-old,
and jolly commercial traveller kept the
wiggling and inquisitive oldest boy as
quiet as possible with stories of his own

Fields Washington says, the travelling
public seemed disposed to show its ut
most kindness to the overburdened
woman. The only person who showed
no interest was an insignificant, snub-
nosed little man who sat in the back of
the car and read newspapers. At last
bedtime came and the porter made up
a couple of sections in which the tired
mother might bestow her offspring.
When they were safely settled the pas
sengers were rendered almost speech
less by the conduct of the little snub-
nosed man, who sBulked down the aisle

For Stout Figures.

A wall goes up from all over the land
regarding "belr' skirts, but the waller
is stout, and the present style of skirts
is not kind to prominent or stout
figure. There is but one thing to do,
and that is to eschew such an unbecom-
ing style and wear appropriate and be-
coming fashions, even if they are not
the prevailing ones. The bell back is
correct, and the plain; fat sides are not
bad, but the front must be draped by
lengthwise folds running in each side
of the belt, which extra cloth requires
an extra length Of about half yard at
the top, which must be draped on the
wearer, as these flexible folds can not
be arranged by any set rule. For a
moderately stout figure pretty skirt
has the sides meeting at the center
front of the belt where they are Tapped
over, and then diverging so as to leave
a reversed v in the center.-Ladies
