AT the present moment the actual STYLE
Is simple, but the dress materials are ex-
tremely rich and costly, also the trim
mings and accessories. The close-cIing-
ing skirts still hold their own, especially
for young women with good figures; a
few add some ribbon streamers, some
flowers or beaded Wristbands with falling
fringe of the same on the hips. They
arc still made with the crossway seam at
the buck, and thus form the few pats
gathered close together at the top; the
skirt widens in descending into the fam
like form. If basques are worn they are
attached to the corsage, but round waists
are also much in vogue, and in this case
the skirt is sewn on to slightly pointed
satin ribbon or rich gallon, and this is
worn over the bodice. The skirts are
generally lined and rarely made over n
Trimmings are placed round
the lower part of the skirts, and consist
of deop embroidery or rows of gallons, of
bands of feathers or good fur. But
quilles and tabliers are also to be seen
made of rich broche or satin covered with
boads, either metal or glass, and of all
colors. Plain close-fitting bodices are
out of date for the present; they all are

A lady whose thick, sallow skin
caused unceasing worry consulted an
eminent physician as to possible cure.
His answer was more forcible than cour-
teous:
"Well, in the first place, go home and
wash your face and hands clean"
Horrified, she declared that she had
washed them several times during the
day.
"What mean is this-wesh with soap
thoroughly"
All, she had never used soap on her
face. When, upon returning home, she
used the soap, then rinsed in clear water,
she was quite mortified to find her face
actually dirty.
In obedience to the Doctors advice
this lady pursued the following course,
which may prove beneficial to others:
Every night just before retiring, she
bathed her face, neck and hands tho
roughly in soapsuds, using, of course,
fine toilet soap; then rinsed in clear
water and dried the skin on soft Turk
ish towel, rubbing until quite free from
moisture.
If any signs of roughness or sunburn
appeared, few drops of glycerne were
rubbed inst. Louis Republic.

Against Disease.

Against Disease.
Those glands situated in the back
part of the mouth, and familarly
known as the tonsils, have always ap-
peared, in physiological eyes, as some
what Of puzzle-that is to say, their
functions or uses have not been ac-
curately determined. They are duct
less glands, and unlike the liver,
saliyary glands, sweet-bread, or tear
glands, do not possess any tubes or
ducts leading from them, and convey
ing away any secretion they may
manufacture. We were puzzled by
them much as the ancients were puz-
zled by the spleen. The opinion was
hazarded that they might be glands
OF service in early life, like the thyr-
cid gland in the neck, or the thymus
gland, which is big in infancy, but de-
creases in size and Importance as we
pass away from the first epoch of our
existence, for each period of life has
organs which subserve its needs and
then become useless.
Again, we must bear in mind that
man retains in his anatomy not few
remarks and vestiges of organs which,
no longer serviceable or required by
humanity, vet played and still play,

whlch, once upon time, in our far
ancestry, existed on the top of the
head, and which, for that matter of
IL, stlll exists as an eye in some fishes
and In certain lizards. But The
functions of the tonsils have, of very
late years, received new interpre' a.
tlon from the researches of DIR. Lowell
Gulland. 1t seems that the tonslls
are really glands which are devoted
to the manufacture of the white blood
cells. Nor is this all, DR.. Gulland
tells us that while many of these i'm
portant white cells pass off into the
blood of calculations Others take their
position on the outside of the tonsils
themselves, where they prevent dis
ease germs passing into the throat,
lungs or stomach.
Thls is both an extraordinary and
extremely interesting discovery, for
it makes plain to us how and why
many of the germs we inhale are pre-
vented from doing injury to us. They
may pass into the mouth, but the
Gordon of white blood-cells on the
tonsils act as a fairly efficient bar
rier, which the bulk of the germs we
inhale may not pass, and we are thus
secured from the germ invasion of

breathing system. The tonsils a G

the familiar quinsy is the best know n.
When the tonslls from this or any
other cause become inefficient IN the
discharge Of their duties, and when
their white cells are not produced in
sufficient numbers, or in the proper
degree of vitality, it seems the glands
in their turn become attacked by the
germs they otherwise kill

Tho last few years have witnessed
great changes in the official and profes-
sional standing of women in England.
Lady doctors are common, aud ladies as
guardians of the poor, as members of the
school boards and in other public posi-
tions, are familiar to every one. Most
people have looked on these various
developments as novelties and old
fashioned folk are apt to regard them as
revolutionary; but US matter of fact,
tho appointment of women to places of
public trust and responsibility is by no
means new or revolutionary. 1t is rather
returning to older customs. Ladies
aspire at the present time to seats in
the county council, but in very early
days they had seats in the forerunner Of
the English Parliament itself. Ladies' of
high birth sat in council with the Saxon
Witas; and in great ecclesiastical
council, held in G94, abbesses sat and
took part in the deliberations. The
shrievalty of county is usually looked
on as purely masculine office, but that
entertaining work, Coke's "Littleton, :"
tolls us that once upon time the
Countess of Pembroke served the office
OF High Sheriff of estmoreland and at
tho assizes at Appleby sat in person
with the judges on the bench. A still
higher office, that of Master of the
Horse TO the Sovereign, was held in 1851
by the Dowager Duchess of Richmond
after tho death of her husband, tho office
descending to her son by patent. In the
days when the old Fleet Prison flourished
and adorned, or disfgured central Lon
don, its ruler was known us the warden.
The wardenship of such place would
seem, above most Offices, to need mas
culine incumbent. But three times in
the course of the history of the Fleet the

1t is not often that political conventions
are so fortunate In the selection Of candi-
dates. These men have been tried In the
stern conflicts which mark the progress Of
industrial America for more than a quarter
of century, and have stood firmly by the
right, as they saw the right, without finch
ing or faltering, and today the nation, II not
the civilized world as whole, acknowledge
the wisdom of their policy and enjoys the
rich heritage which comes from the adoption
into the statutes of the country of the prin-
ciples of protection and reciprocity. to both
of which they have adhered with manly
the enemies as well as the friends Of protec-
ton, while of the now triumphant policy Of
reciprocity, President Harrison when
senator from Indiana was the author, and
of which in the intervening years, until sue
cess crowned his efforts, he was the un-
finching advocate.
AS President, for the past three years
Benjamin Harrison has proved the one man
who ''dared to do right" at all times and In
all places, and by his unyielding frmness
in all matters where principle was involved,
has proved himself an exponent Of principle
in politics, and by so doing commanded the
wonder and admiration of the civilized
world. Today our country is reaping rich
harvest from the seeds Of reciprocity planted
by him, while our industrial classes, as the
fruit of the policy so firmly inaugurated by
the republican party, Of which both Harri-
son and Reid have been determined advo-
Gates, are enjoying a prosperity which
makes them the envy of the wage-workers
everywhere.
As the representative of this country to
the republic Of France, Mr.. Reid by his in
indomitable energy and efficiency succeed
ed in removing the barriers which have shut
from European markets for some years our
pork products, and thus extended the line
of our efforts by a 500, 600, 900 a year. while
as the successor of Horace Greeley he has
kept The Tribune where Mr.. Greeley In his
best days placed it, and which today makes
II the newspaper for the people, as well as
for the statesmen.
With such men as standard bearers
standing squarely on that wonderfully mag
nifcent platform of principles adopted at
Minneapolis, republican success in NOvem-
Der, and consequently the continued pros
perity of our industrial interest seems to be
insured, and will be assured if the republic
