Ancient GirdIes.

Ancient gird1es were in some respects
like the chatelaines not long ago so much
the rage among the Ladies, but they diff
fered therefrom in being more useful,
more comprehensive in regard both to
sex and to articles worn, and when COM
pletely furnished more costly. 1t is
partly for this last reason that we find
girdles bequeathed as precious heirlooms
and as valuable presents to keep the
giver's memory green after death. They
were not infrequently of great intrinsic
value. One of King Johns girdles was
wrought with gold and adorned with
gems, and that of the widow of Sir
Thomas Hungerford. bequeathed in 1904
to the mother church OF Worcester, was
Of green color harnessed with silver and
richly jeweled.
Not few wealthy commoners were
able to afford the luxury of gold embel-
lished belts and were not superior to that
pardonable vanity so long as no regula-
ton prohibited them. Those who have
studied our social history will not be
surprised to learn that enactments were
passed restraining them. Edward Ill
forbade any person under the degree of a
knight from wearing girdles, gilt or sill
YER, unless he should happen to be an es-
ouire of substance valued at more than
goo, when a reasonable establishment
was tolerated. Henry ". confirmed this
regulation, but it does not seem to have
been stringently enforced; for Edward
". was constrained to impose penalty
of 30 pence upon the wives of servants
and laborers who should have the peril
nence TO aspire to be as good as their
masters spouses.- Chambers Journal.

[Rio Vista News.l

There is to be an election of trustees for
the Sutter Island Reclamation District
held at Courtland on October 9th.
Joe Green, Jr., claims that he cleared
618 cents on every box of Bartlett pears
that was shipped East off of the Green
orchard.
THERE'S talk of extending the Rio Vista
telephone line from Birds Landing to
Collinsville in the near future. There is
little doubt but that such move would
be of advantage to the company and a
convenience to the people. If the proper
ENCOURAGEMENT is held out to the COM
pany by the men of means who would be
directly benefited, the line will un-
doubtedly be built.

STORM DRIVEN.

Silent, dismantled on the deep,
She drifted with the tide,
No record there TO tell the fate,
OF brave hearts true and tried;
Her spurs and masts are shattered now.
Her sails that sweep the breeze
Her flag tlatproudly waved aloft,
Lie buried in the seas.
Storm-toSsed she rides the surging waves,
With naught to mark her course,
While angry billows swept her deck
With cruel. pitiless force;
Adrlft upon the ocean, wide,
Where oft she proudly sailed,
That battered wreck is drifting now,
Borne onward by the gale.
Where are the men who paced her deck
Brave souls who knew no fear?
Who sought 70 save thatfated snip,
From danger, lurking near;
Go ask the crested wa es, perchance,
They'll tell you where they sleep
Will tell you where they lie entombed,
Down in the ocean, deep.

THE TRIALS OF a TRAIN Dis
PATCHER.

Perchance an engine leaves the rail,
a rod may break, or valve FAIL
a cloud may burstin a hiliy place,
And cause the track to vanish apace.
Then trains are packed on either side,
Unable to pass the offending slide;
Fast trains, and slow in great profusion,
Line the side tracks in seeming confusion,
But all are kept in the Dispatcher's mind,
W here the rank OF each IS clearly outlined;
And when they are started, by his direction,
"Blanllet orders lie will quickly send,
Which cover the read, from end 10 end,
Filled with cautions and limitations,
Defining trains rights at various stations.
If the wire breaks, he rests his arm,
And casts his thoughts upon farm,
Far away from the ''Sounders" rattle,
That VeXes his ear, when students prattle.

Why is it that people in general are so prone
to disregard loss of strength, clearly percepti-
BILE in bodily shrinkage, failure of appetite,
broken rest? Incomprehensibe but true.
Sheer carelessness. an overweening confidence
in the power of nature to recuperate- these are
suggistibe reasons. One of the most obserya-
bic signals of danger thrown by distressed
nature is waning strength. An Efficient tonic is
the best safeguard against impending peril,
Among the invigorants which modern science
has developed and experience approved is
Hostetter's Stomach Btters, and it occupies the
first place. Digestion, renewed by this .geniel

Speaker Crisp does not like the pres
emit rules of the house. Many others
agree with him. They will take advan-
tage Of the demand that congress shall
soon relieve the business world of any
uncertainty respecting the Sherman law
to secure new code of rules. Mr.. Crisp
has said to me on several occasions that
he thinks more power ought to be lodged
in the house to carry out the will of the
majority. Nowadays the road of the fill
buster is made too easy. It does not re-
quire skill, ability or experience. A cigar
store Indian. fitted with monograph
and aided by so or 40 other wooden fig
ures able to artioulate a few phrases and
answer roll calls, could do the business
quite as well. All that is now needed is
to pile up motions to adjourn to some
special named day and to take recess.
The chances are that the new rules
will bear some likeness to the celebrated
Reed rules, but less power will be lodged
in the speaker directly. The same thing
will be accomplished indirectly by CIV
ing the majority in the house the power
Mr.. Reed vested in the speaker from the
start.
Speaker Crisp's lieutenant in framing
the new rules will be Congressman
Catchings of Mississippi, a short, stout
man with long red beard. The speak
er himself is a practical man, accus-
TONED to looking at things as they are
and not as an idealist. He is a Yankee
southerner in his mental makeup. His
right hand man is even more practical.
General Catchings in Chicago would be
considered a typical western business
man, shrewd, keen at seeing the practi-
val and the impracticable and able to
wait so as to have the tide running with
and not against him in any project he
has at Heart. E[e says the fault in the
Reed rules lay largely in what bills were
passed under them and not in the rules
per Sc.
In drawer at his home General
Catchings has the draft of a code of
rules he Grew up two years ago with
Speaker Ctisps knowledge. There were
good many Democrats about that time
who were sore over the victory of Crisp
over Mile, and when it was seen they
were ready to seize g prctezt to make

A Story of a Russian Novelist.

Turgenief once asked the famous
critic, Belinsky, and five others to dine
with him at his home in the country
where he kept q famous chef.
Il will prepare such banquet for YOU
as you have never imagined" he de
clared, and he not only fixed the day
but insisted upon each persons giving
his word of honor that he would be
present.
Don't fear for us" said Belinsky
"We shall be there, but you must not
repeat the trick you played us last win.
ter, when you asked us to dine and were
not at home when we arrived. In order
to remind you will write to you the
day before"
On the appointed day-a very hot day
the party set out for the country house
in the morning and arrived thoroughly
fatigued by heat and dust. But no host
appeared to welcome them. The house
was deserted. Repeated knocking at the
door was answered by silence.
"Can Turgenieff have repeated last
winters trick3' exclaimed Belinsky. His
friends tried to persuade him that they
had arrived earlier than they were ex-
pected.
'But I wrote him that we would be
here at O'clock, said Belinslzy. "What
can it mean? If they would only ad-
NIT us, we could wait, but here we are
scorchedr'
At length a boy appeared who con-
fessed that his master was away and
that the chef was at an inn in the neigh
borhood. He was dispatched for the
chef, and the party waited, hungry and
cross, until he mase his appearance.
''Where is your master?" cried Belin-
sky.
The cook did not know.
: "Did he not order dinner for us to-
day?"
"He did nothing of the kind was the
answer.
''Well," said Belinsky when he was
composed enough to express an opinion,
she has indeed given us an unusual sort
of banquet!''-" Russian characteristics. :"
