The Waving Plumes.

Plumes, big and little, dark and light,
falling and standing up, are in very gen.
eral favor on the large hats. especially
on those that are bent in some odd or
picturesque way. The favorite mode of
arranging them is in the stiff fashion
known as the prince of Wales. When
there are two punches of feathers on
the hat or bonnet, whatever it may be,
those in front being somewhat smaller
than those at the back, they are tied to-
geter with a narrow ribbon which, in
addition to their being wired, give them
the air belonging absolutely to the
plumes of his royal highness the future
king of England On large hats, plumes
arranged in this way are very high and
are really very trying to the face, as
they stand up positively in an agrees
sive manner and give none of their
pretty softening effect to the skin.
Really. though, it must be confessed
that they have rather smart air which

turesque upon women of certain style,
but they are exceedingly trying to those
not blessed with a complexion of milk
ambrose tints, The plain dead white
cuffs reach nearly to the elbows. The
collars are either straight bands or
otherwise wide turn-overs. They are
much more becoming when the edges
are finished with fine linen or Valen-
ciennes lace. Upon some of the sets
the stitching, or tied work, is done
rather far from the edge, giving the APP
pearance of vide hem. Pretty sleeve
links or studs are essential to fasten the
cuffs. Some of the cuffs are deep and
straight, others shaped to the arm. but

AN INGENIOUS SCHEME.
HIS Plan to Turn New York Over to the
Democrats,

The Hill plan now is to have the
democratic legislature of New York
choose the presidential electors of that
state this year Thus does the democ-
racy of the east give the lie to the de-
mocracv of the west. Michigan's plan
has been defended because it brings
the election of president nearer to the
people" and New York's plan will be
defended because it removes the cleo
ton of president farther from the
people. And both plans together will
be defended because they bring the
election of president nearer the de-
mocracy. 1t is needless to say that all
the honesty there is in the democratic
defenses is conferred in the one that ap-
plies to both schemes. The Hill scheme
cannot be SO successfully attacked on
constitutional grounds as the Miner
scheme, for each one of the electors
chosen under the former will represent
the entire state, in accordance with the
intent of the federal constitution. The
success of the INSCRIPTIONS Hill de-
mocracy in New York is serious mat
ter not merely to republicans, but to
the whole people. Is such a conscience
less politician as Hill to be rewarded
with the presidency? This is the goal
he seeks and the complete control OF
New York through his henchmen is a
long stride toward the attainment OF
it The coming struggle of this year
is one that awakens grave apprehen'
sions in the mind of the thoughtful
citizen. Detroit Journal

REPUDlATlNG CLEVELAND.
The Facilitating Policy of the Democratic


Party.
"What will congress do?" is ques-
ton upon which hinge the paramount
political issues to be submitted in the
campaign for the presidency. Never
since the organization of the republic
an party has the democratic party con-
trollAd the lower branch of congress
by so great majority. In the present
house there are 23S democrats, 81 re-
publicans and representatives of the
Farmers Alliance. The senate remains
republican, but in the event of no cleo
tion by electoral vote next Novem Der,
the lower house OF the Fifty-second
congress will determine the selection
of president and vice president The
house would vote by states, and the
political classification, according to
present representation. would stand:
Democrats, 80; republiea MS IL; Farm
ers' Alliance, .. There would be no
pivotal states, and the congressional
elections of The present year would
have no bearing on the situation
Casting the presidential election into
the house would, therefore, inevitably
result in the election of the democratic
candidates.
Each party in congress will accord
ingly direct its energies to the adyo-
caey or defeat of such measures of leg
islation as will affect its own interest
in an earnest, vigorous and aggressive
campaign before the people. The sit

Two Kinds OF pineapp,es.

There are two kinds of pineapples,
the 'birdseye and the sugar loaf The
former are not often brought to this
market from the fact that they do not
bear transportation SO well as the sugar

or two from the house, if possible into
gravel soil.
If the character of your land be
sandy or gravelly, you need have no
anxiety about drainage, as the melting
ice will take care of itself. The main
point is securing good drainage so as
to prevent draft of air under the ice
chamber. 1t is well to have a stone
underpinning well pointed with NOR
tar. A current of air will melt many
tons of ice in a week. An excellent
plan in use under many ice houses is
cold storage room. A bank is most
convenient for this arrangement,
though by elevatiug the floor for ice
four to six feet moderately good stor-
age room can be secured with little
extra cost. The one objection to this
convenience under the chambe is that
it is likely to allow drafts of air up
through the ice house unless great care
is exercised. A tight. or nearly tight,
and sloping floor should be made and
away from the building in pipe. OF
course the floor, which also forms the
ceiling of the cold storage room, must
be heavily propped or underpinned to
support ice so the great weight above
will not crush it in. Many find such a
storage room extremely useful in hold
ing for few days small fruits. vegeta-
bles, meats, etc, for market, and for
preserving the family supplies For
foundation walls probably nothing is
cheaper or superior to concrete we'll
laid below frost. The walls if of wood
must be double or treble the same as
for the ice house proper. Double doors
and windows must also be provided.
Never overlook the rule that the
smaller the amount of ice stored the
greater is its proportionate waste

prospects of its success, large num-
Der of anti-lottery democrats might

| the triumph of the worse faction of

the fight being fierce and bitter be-
