bilitics at her house all of whom must have
taken away with them an agreeable inn
preston of an American home, an Amer
lean hostess, and a graceful, cultured,
and charming woman. Mrs. Palmer is
a native of Louisville, Ky. Her maiden
name was Bertha Honore, and she was
educated in a convent at Georgetown,
d. C. She was married to Potter Palmer
in 1871.
Mrs. Palmer is acknowledged to be one
Of Chicago's most beautiful women, and
the striking beauty of her clear-cut feat
ures has been effectively brought out by
the artist in the excellent portrait here
presented. Here is shown the highest
type Of mechanical engraving the
photo zinc etching, which has now
superseded all of the old expensive
methods. For zinc etching the design
is drawn from a photograph on white
cardboard double the size wanted. This
is photographed on zinc plate, and the
plate then put into an acid bath, which eats
or etches away everything except the
lines which are to appear on the cut The
engraving process is altogether mechan-
ical, and is, therefore, mechanically per-
feet, as is shown by the above portrait.
All the daily and weekly newspaper
illustrations are photO-zinc etchings, and
they have become SO cheap in price that
well-made portraits like the above can
now be bad from the Chicago Newspaper
Union tor 50 50, while a cut like it by the

THE GRIPPE.

If you are suffering from the grippe,
or have had it and are still troubled
with hard cough that marks this
malady, get bottle of REDS GER
MAN COUCH AND KIDNEY CURE and
take it in small doses at frequent in
tervals. 1t will not only cure your
cough but it will stimulate your d.
gest;on, incite the kidneys to action,
and exercise favorable influence over
all OF the cxcretory organs. 1t is the
best remedy in this particular that is
on the market, and is the best for
family use because there is nothing
dangerous in it. and it can be given
to the children freely without fear Of
evil results. Many cough remedies
contain opium, and this causes con-
stipation. The result is that when
the cough is cured the patient is in a
worse condition than he was before
he took the remedy. No such evil
results follow taking REDS GERMAN
COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE. 1t is
mild, healing. pleasant and certain in
its effects. Get it of any dealer.

STRIKERS SEEM TO RULE.
Police Unable to Aid the Indianapolis
Street Car Company.


At indianapolis three conflicts took place
between the police and the street-car strik-
ers. Eleven OF the latter were arrested,
but the arrests increased rather than dimin-
tshed tho enthusiasm OF the strikers The
men are supported by all tho labor Or
canizations. and resolutions have been
adopted declaring that they will assist the
street car employees in any manner that
the exigencies OF the situation may requro.
This support is apparent In the shape of
money for the Strikers families and in tho
augmentation of the crowds that gather
around when the company attempts to
move cars Encouragement is also
given the strikers by people who live along
the lines. and anon, many OF these arc
people OF prominence, who detest the
methods so long employed by the company
and are willing to undergo any inconven-
fence themselves II the company can be
brought to terms. Every man arrested
was followed to the station house by re-

his bond. and In thirty minutes tho striker
was AHck anon; his comrades prepared for

Partisan Floral Tastes.

Paris alone, during the winter season,
spends about 500, 900 on lilies of the
valley. That is standby, and, like the
white lilac, a bunch Of lilies of the val
ley must grace some fancy table, from
which, placed in one of those exquisite
gilt "crystal vases, it must send out its
delicate fragrance. The forced winter
lilies OF the valley are grown from Ger
man bulbs. They are sent to Paris look
ing like dried bundles of roots, and in
twenty days these roots shoot out
leaves and are made to bloom luxurious
ly. They are cultivated from April to
October. But in the spring and summer
they have the spontaneous lily of the
valley, which is so abundant that ten
cents will buy delicious bunch,

In India it is quite common to shave a
man while he is asleep, and if he hap
pens to be lying on his back he can have
his beard entirely removed without be-
ing disturbed. The native barber has a
wonderfully light hand, and is an adept
at shaving without causing a fraction of
pain. Europeans and Americans trav-
cling in India soon fall into the indolent
habits which prevail, one Of which is to
be shaved in bed before rising and bath
ing. 1t is not considered reasonable to
visit barber shop, the moneycd classes
being almost always shaved at home,
and almost as frequently while in bed.
