gestion Of chivalry that appealed to her
baby mind, bat the fact that each knight
was crowned with horses head. The girl
had an innate love for horses.
She drew pictures of horses on the black
boards in school, and or her slate in the
place where the sums ought to be a horses
head was most apt to be found. When she
was bat i years old she painted a group
Of disabled horses. The picture showed
original talent and promise Of future good
work.
Marie Gu'se. though of French descent,
was born IN Newark, y. j., ia 1865. She
lived there until 1878, when she came with
her father and mother 10 New York.
According TO her own wish, Miss GuiSe
never took course OF instruction in draw
ing or painting at any Of the famous art
schools. She painted from life. Almost
every morning she went to some stable and
ia this way many portraits OF well-knOwn
horses were painted. But the working
horses were the ones she best liked to put
upon her canvas. She also went in for dis
section, and made a thorough study Of the
horses anatomy.
In 1885 Miss Guise went to Europe. For
three years she lived like an artist in happi-
ness at Ecouen, suburb OF Paris, studying
under the animal FAINTER Schenck. After
leaving EcOuen she spent some tine in Al
ReTia. From there she went to the oasis of
Biskra n order to study the Arabian horses.
In 1887 one Of her paintings, Work
Horses" was accepted at the Paris Salon.
Since the middle of August Mrs. NeWcOmb
has been working away at picture which
she plans TO send TO the World Fair, tina t
is. as she laughngly says, if it passes the
Jury of Selection of Painting IN New York.
The picture she has had in mind for a long
time. She has given it thought aud study,
and the idea which prompted it is one OF
sweet charity born. The painting shows
four workhorses drinking from a fountain.
It is called THE Horses Need" The can
vas is Z by / feet. The frame ia to be Of
oak, with wide bevel of gilt inside.
Mrs. Newcomb hopes to sell the picture al
the Worlds Fair. The price is $3.50. With
this money she intends giving New York
horses greater opportunities for. satisfying
their thirst. She has not yet decided
whether she will build one large drinking

As for the rest OF the costume. 1t had two
general tendencies. The Tory swells fol-

elaborate details. The neck was wrapped
about with heavy cTayat, the walstcoafs
were in gorgeous light-tinted silks. satins
and buckSkin, the coat was slender and
short, and the tightly fitting. knee-ereeehes
often terminated in pair OF striped stock
ings. The young Wings liked to initiate
the Frenchmen, and wore marvellous striped
coats and low boots. One affectati0n from
the Frenchman was the jean DeDry,
named after the Revolutionary statesman
of that name. The quilted lapels and
stuffed sleeves of this garment gave man
an extraordinary appearance. Very few Of

Italy was also accountable for many of
the masculine fashions that prevailed a
century ago both in this country and 10 Eng

One of the most interesting exhibitions Ia
connection with the recent OTientalist Con-
gress in London is a collection OF tools used
by workmen in building the pyramids of
Egypt. They were gathered and are exhib-
tied by the iilustrious Egyptologist, Mr..
Flinders Petrie. These utensils indicate
that ancient workmen had an astonishing
acquaintance with many toOls which we
have been accustomed to consider essen

SOME REFORMS DEMANDED.

The Omaha Public thinks that the
discrimination of the two old parties in
their platforms against silver has been the
means Of rsllying several classes OF peo-
pie to the support Of the new party who
could not have been reached otherwise
st the coming election. 1t is now well
understood that the wage workers, farm.
ers and business men OF this country
are, by q overwhelming majority, IN
favor of an increased currency so as to
do the business of the country on 9 cash
basis, and do away with the ruinous sys-
tenn OF credit that through exorbitant
rates Of interest is sspping the very life
blood OF the Republic. The people know
full we'll that ID is to ones interest
to have 3 scarce, dear money, except the
money ~losners, and as the two old par
ties have declared in the interest OF the
money losners and against the best in
~terests Of the people, they have right
fully arrived at the conclusion that
the old party wire p%ullers, and
bosses, are in the employment Of the
money kings or they would not serve
them so well. The exposure Of the plot
arranged o rob the Government Of two
or three hundred million dollars by the
silver law Of 1890, has been the means
Of opening the eyes of the producers Of
wealth TO the danger they are in if they
further trust either of the old parties
with power. The plan arranged was to
fill up the United States Treasury with
silver at one price and have the silver
certificates redeemed at a much cheaper
price, consequently the Government
would not have in it's Treasury enough
silver to redeem the outstanding certi6-
Gates, and would be OF course compelled
to make up the difference. which would
be filling the pockets Of the spectators
and emptying the pockets Of the wealth
producers. The new party is made up
Of the honest toilers who are patriots.
who have no interest in common with

duty Of the honest voters to stand b,

The one thing that the old party lead

It is for this reason that the people are

they have about lost their efficacy, and.
consequently, in spite Of ell the old par
