A Queer Fad.

One OF the fads OF the day Is an oil
bath. Cottolene or cotton-seed oil n
the most approved medium. A woman
accustomed to the business makes en-.
gagements at one of the fashionable
cottage colonies to ofaciate each day al
rubber for q considerable con-
ideration. For giving softness
20 the skin and also that
frmness of texture 50 much to be de-
sired there is nothing better than oil,
says the Baltimore News. The guam
tity needed for the exploit isvery small,
for no one takes q plunge bath in the
lubricants, unless 1t be one Of the Per-
sian young ladies anxioualy dattering
herself TO be fair in the eyes Of her
Observation-Disclosures. But the
independent young woman who is her
own bather and rubber has the best Of
II, for she can choose her own time for
the process. and, BY saving the cost Of
q professional rubber, she can afford to
use more expensiveunguent, l. g., that
famous mixture Of incline and cocoa
butter which Is so readily absorbed by
the skin as to underline it with fat and
give It the texture of q mongolia petal

The Modern Young Man.

In the opinion Of writer in Ladies
Home Journal the habits of modern
young men are antagonistic to that
prudence and preparation which make
It possible for them to marry at twenty
Eve. There are many exceptions, OF
course, but it may be safely said that a
vast number of the young men who
live in our time fill their spare hours
with expensive luxuries. It costs them
q great deal to dress, and still more to
keep up their social engagements. In
a score of ways they accustom them
selves to ways of life that leave no
margin between income and outgo.
This having gone on until they are
twenty-five it then calls for more reso-
luton than many of them command to
begin the sacrifices which accompany
the saving Of money. Without money
they cannot marry. Not few greatly
exaggerate what it should take two
sensible people to begin life on, and
hastily conclude that it would be i'm
possible, on an income of one thousand
dollars, to start in comfort. So they
put off marriage until after thirty, or
do not marry at all; and it is well that
such men should remain single; we do
not need any such weak fiber In the
coming generation.

Cuban Sugar Planters.

Cuban planters saw their opportunity
to increase their sugar trade when the
south was Frustrated after the civil
war, and now Felix L. Osgood tells us
in Good Health that two or three cents
q pound is the usual price for an excel
lent yellowish-white sort of sugar. and
sweetmests have begun to supersede
the greasy-made dishes of the nom
Spanish nations. Sugar-sweetened fari-
naceous dishes are preferable to q
whony-meat diet, and nothing in the
habits of our southern country folks is
more surprising 10 Spanish-American
visitors than their Indifference to sac
charine admixtures in the choice Of
their daily food, even where a pound Of
sugar would be cheaper than half q
pound Of pork. 'They eat like dogs
como pesros-beginning and finishing
their dinner with grease; have they no
palates and no care for heslth?" was
the comment Of a refugee from a coun-
try where the poorest laborer winds up
his repast with lump Of brown sugar
or a handful of fruit.

CARLYLE W. HARRIS was electrocuted
ut Sing Sing, New York, on May 9th, for
poisoning his wife. Just before the in
strument of death was placed in motion
Harris said that he desired to say a word.
Permission being granted he said: 81 de-
sire to say I am absolutely innocent"
These we're the doomed mans last words,
Either he died with lie upon his lips or
he was judiciallI murdered. There is a
growing sentiment that tie death penalty,
il inflicted at all, should never be resort
ed to except upon positive testimony and
never upon circumstsntial evidence. Cir
cumstantial evidence is sometimes very
clear and is sometimes even more salts
factory than the testimony OF human wit.

state should not take the life of an indi-

mony, imprisonment for life would give
the state the opportunity to correct its
mistakes, and history proves that mis-.
takes OF this nature do sometimes OCCUR.

SATURDAY, MAY Is, 1893.

TIE blessed rain has come at last and
the thirsty air has been refreshed. So
long drought has never been expert
.enced in this country. For about eight
months scarcely any rain fell-one or two
very light showers only. AS men looked
complainingly at the brazen sky and
murmuringly on the blighted earth-as
they mourned over their crop prospects
as they gazed awe-struck on the consum-
ing fires fercely raging around them
almost like a universal confagration-
and as the Responding cry went up "Will

is putting on her brightest, gayest ap-
parel, let US all take heart and 60 to work
with increased courage. That we can
have full wheat crop is not possible,
but the prospects are for much better
prices than last year. Besides there is
ample time for broom corn Snd corn and

A WESTERN coin dealer has recently
obtained a very curious lot Of copper
coins from Sweden for the collection
which he is making for the worlds fair.
They were coined during the sixteenth
century. when Sweden adopted rule
that its circulating medium should be
nothing but copper. The coins are
great fat pieces roughly cut into
squares. The smallest is four inches
square and worth thirty cents, and the
largest over foot square and with a
face value of four dollars. Each slab Is
stamped in several places with an in
scription giving its date of issue and its
denomination. The largest weighs over
four pounds. When this coinage was in
circulation ladies out shopping had to
have servants in attendance to carry
their purses.

That troubles never come sing1yrhas
found fresh illustration. Nell, thor
oughbred Irish setter, and Top, a
small black and tan, pets in warm
hearted Brooklyn family, both became
victims of the dog distemper. Medicine
did no good, says the New York Sun,
and dainty food failed to tempt the ap-
petites Of the sufferers, who, protected
by netting from annoying flies and
famed during the warm days by the
daughters of the family, were made az
comfortable as possible until they final
~ passed away. "It seemed as though
everything came altogether" said one
daughter, after an evening passed in
sad "reminiscences Of lovable doggish
traits. 'tFirst Top died, the Twenty
third was called out and brother Jack
had to go to Buffalo, and thar Nell
died." and she heaved a sigh at the bur
den Of woe that had fallen upon the
family In so short time.

PARRY, Mass, is the center Of fast
dying business, the domestic manu-
facture of hats plated from palm leaf.
This industry has been handed down for
generations in the families Of farmers,
and these hats are nowhere made cheaper
than in Massachusetts,. Indeed, there
Is scarce any worse-paid labor in the
country than these hat plaiters. The
leaf is carried from farm to farm by
psddlers, who take in payment part of
the finished product. The hats whole
sale at from seventy-fve cents to one
dollar per dozen, and If the women or
children were paid by the day their
wages would make an exceedingly low
average for all the persons employed.
The work, however, is done in the
leisure of winter, and the time it re-
quires is not missed from more profit
able employment. Year by year, how
ever, the product is lessened, and this
year the entire output is probably worth
at wholesale less than $75, 900.

PLACE hunters are indignant at Cleve
land for advising them to 60 home and
attend to their business affairs, if they
have any outside OF procuring offices for
themselves and friends We think the
president is to be commended. There
has been growing sentiment that politi
cal parties are designed. primarily, fol
the benefit of few of the leaders of the
party and that legislation in the interest
OF the people has been made subordinate
Whether Mr.. Clevelsnd's order was made
in the interest of the people or whether
it was made to suit his own personal con.
venience is immaterial. The scramble
tor Office under tie present administra.
tion has become disgraceful and has
been prosecuted to that extent that
neither the president, his cabinet OF
members OF congress are supposed to
have anything to do except to see to the
filling OF positions made vacant by the
change in administration. We would
not be 30 unfair as to say that this con.
dition of affairs has originated with the
present administration. It had it's origin
long since. but has been steadily growing
until at lsst it has eliminated and heroic
measures have become necessary. Even
our reform governor finds that the princi-
pal business Of the chief executive is to
WELD the headman's axe and thereby care
for his political friends, and they in turn
seem as hungry and importunate as they
did before they enlisted in the cause of
reform. In brief it now appears that
our PEOPLES party friends have lost sight
OF almost everything except the offices
and, considering the time they have been
at it and their very limited experience in
such things, they bid fair to rival either
OF the old parties-in fact it seems natur-
al with them. It is not our intention to
cnarge the present condition of affairs to
either Of the parties but to all of them.
We did SO hope that the peoples party
would set . good example, but having
been disappointed, we welcome reform
even though it originates with the de-
mocrscy and no difference what may be
the motive impelIingit.

Mistaken ideals.

The ideal woman of every man Is the
'swomanly woman" The ideal man Of
every woman is the manly man" And
the expression ga womanly woman"
means pretty much the same to every
man who uses 1t, just as the manly
man" Of one woman expresses certain
combination Of qualities well known to
every other woman. The mans ''wom-
anly woman" is gentle, amiable, quiet
and domestic, says writer In Harper's
Bazaar. She loves to sit upon low
chair and hem things, with the lamp
light falling over her hair. It is unnec-
esssry to say that although In theory
this Is the sort of woman a man pre-
fers, in practice he may choose one en-
tirely her opposite. She does not exist
in large quantities, which is lucky, as
she might provo dresdfully insipid II
she did. The woman's ''manly man"
means man strong, brave and daring.
He must perform easily bold deeds
which she dare not attempt. She likes
that-in dreams. In actual life she
may find that man neither daring nor
bold has satisfactory and endearing
qualities Which make him more after
her own heart than the ideal of her
dreams could ever be. We are not ell
alike, thank Heavenl but various. And
the spark Of originality which Is i'm
planted In each of us all Is the thing to
cherish and develop, and not distort
