why Girl. want old Glove..

Days when girl asked every man she
met for a necktie for her crazy quilt are
passed; she no longer collects his hand
kerchiefs to make curtains for her win
dows, and even his match box is COM
paratively safe. But now the latest fad
is to ask the men for their old evening
gloves. "What does she do with them9"
the uninitiated quite naturally ask. For
"dream gloves" is the reply. This is the
way of it. Her hands, perhaps, still re-
tain some of the summer tan; perhaps
they are rough because she has helped in
the homework, or they may be chapped
from being chilled. Whatever the cause
the remedy prescribed is grease and
gloves"
Now our dear girl finds her own
gloves are too tight for this purpose,
and then, generally, she wears hers I'M
til they are quite useless. So she thinks
she will borrow her brothers evening
gloves, since he casts his away after the
first appearance of soil. Then my lady
thought it would be so much nicer were
she to have his gloves to protect her
hands, his gloves to tuck under her
pretty cheek, his gloves to dream upon.
Hence the origin of the name and the
fad. What will be the next?-Philadel-
phia Music and Drama.

About a year ago c. w. Strickland, 4
young farmer, living about sig miles
southwest OF Paris, fell in love with Miss
Ida Porter, a charming young lady Of the
same neighborhood. The lady's relatives
objected, but the young folks resolved to
elope. Mr.. Strickland got license, but
the issuance of the license was published
in the papers and before chance came
to use it the relatives of the lady saw it
and sent her away to Missouri.
A few weeks ago she came back Her
relatives thought the affair was ended,
but the young folks still loved each other.
There were some private negotiations of
which her relatives did not know. An
other license was procured, but the fact
was not published in the papers. The
same minister was engaged again. Miss
Ida Porter, who did not usually pick cot
ton. suddenly became very industriously
inclined, and concluded to help pick out
the crop. She went into the field and
began work. Pretty soon her big brother,
not suspecting anything. went to the gin
with load of cotton, and about the
time he was gone Mr.. Strickland and the
preacher came along, and right in the cot.

Dssrobed In the street.

There is young colored damsel in
Washington whose soul is at present
filed with wrath because Of the sum-
mary action taken by society woman
to whom she had been handmaiden.
With ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain the young woman proved her
self conversant by making away with
articles of value. Among these was q
silk dress Of which her mistress had been
especially fond. Though accused of the
theft, the woman stoutly denied it and
took her dismissal, veheinently protesting
her innocence. Not long afterward, as
the daughter of Ham was sailing down
the street in all the glory of the stolen
garment, she came upon her mistress
rapidly walking toward her with the
look Of great purpose in her eye.
Retreat was impossible, as was fail
ure to comply with the astonishing de-
mand that she then and there divest
herself of the gown. AS the alternative
was to be Immediately handed over to
the police. the perturbed young woman
did as she was bid with all speed posi-
BILE, and in as brief time as it takes to
tell the tale she stood with her ebony
projections exposed to public view while
in an opposite direction her former mis-
tress walked away, bearing in triumph
the stolen property. Fields Wash

From the receivers standpoint all gifb
may be divided into things that we want
and things that we don't want. It fskes
no particular skill or grace to receivs
things that we want. but as, in times Of
general giving. like Christmas, the larger
part OF the gifts we get are things that
we don't want. that branch Of receiver
ship is worth attention. The two ordi-
nary reasons for not wanting things are
the vulgar one that they do not strike US
as intrinsieally desirable, and the more
complex reason that we don't want to re-
ceive them from the particular giver. A
general remedy applicable to reluctances
due TO either Of these causes is to keep
strenuously in the mind the happiness Of
the giver in giving.
Remembering that, you are delighted
with trifie from some one you love, be.
cause it makes you happy to have been
even passively instrumental in procuring
him Inc happiness Of giving; applying the
same principle. you can accept ever 90
costly a gift from some one for whom
You care little without any irksome sense
OF obligation, since Of course the giver
had the best Of it any way, and it is q
great deal kinder and more generous to
sacrifice ones personal inclinations and
accept, than to refuse. Remember per-
sistently that by receiving with due grace
You secure to another person desirable
form of happiness. -Scribner's.

Names ice crop is seriously threatened
by drought. The water supply has been
gradually falling, until now the small
rivers are nearly dry and the larger ones
are lower than for years. In the Kenne-
bee the water has not been so low for
years. At Augusta one can easily wade
across. The Androscoggin is practically
without water, and the mills at Lewis
ton would be shut down were it not for
the fact that the lakes have been tapped
and a supply thus obtained. But the
lakes are several feet lower than for
years. In the Penobscot the water is so
low that the current is not powerful
enough to keep back the tide, and the
water accordingly is so salt that, should
winter set in suddenly, the ice would be
entirely unfit for consumption. Boston

Don't tell me now that men are callous
and selfish when the woman is an old

We were hurrying to catch the ele-
waited train when poor old Irish woman
stopped, and directly in the way of all

to readjust strap that had slipped from
the package she was carrying.
Her hands were cold, and she seemed
unable to loosen the buckle, when good
looking man came up and seeing her diff
ficulty laid his own packages down on
the platform while he asked:
Cant you manage it? Here, let me
do it for you"
OF course ''time and tide" and ele-
waited trains wait for no man, and we
rolled away from the station just as he
had completed his self imposed task.
We saw him pick up his bundles and
walk toward the waiting room to get
warm-for the wind was cold-never
seeming to regret the train he had missed

Tho Zodiacal Light.

dicular, and may be looked for in that
part Of the sky where the sun is about to
appear. Its pearly gray light is caused
by the reflection of the suns rays from
countless swarms of meteors which re-
volve about him at different distances.
1t has recently been suggested that these
meteors are the medium by which the
electrical connection between the sun
and the earth is established; in fact, that
they play the same part in the solar sys-
tenn that the copper wire does in the con.
veyance of electric energy from the

To Exhibit Abnriginen.

Anthropologists all over the world are
said to be aroused by the proposition OF
Professor Putnam, of Harvard, to gather
at the Worlds fair in Chicago living rep
resentatives of every race of aborig-
ines to be found ON the American con
tinent, in their own houses and costumes.
Should the proposal be carried out, stu
dents of man from all over the world
will flock to America for the occasion
and seize eagerly this only opportunity
ever offered The cave jewellers, whose
mode of life Walt McDougall treats with
much historical correctness in fiction,
will then be either demonstrated as ac-
tually existing or proved to have died
out.-New York World.

This morning an unusual sight was
seen on Brenham's streets. 1t was a
horseman gayly decorated with ribbons
of every hue of the rainbow. These rib
bons were hung in clusters and festoons
all over the rider and horse. The horses
ears and forehead were covered with a
sort of cap in which were stuck feathers
of bright colors. surrounded with rosettes
and knots of ribbons.
The rider was Fritz Wiesepappe, and
questions about his startling decorations
elected the information that he was the
inviting agent to marriages. sort of

Herman Wiesepappe, and Miss Bertha
Schultz are to be married next Thursday

The number of French pictures among
these private collections no doubt accounts
in great measure for the influence of the
French schools upon American art 0or
there is such thing as distinctively Amer
lean art, despite rabid assertions to the con
trary), an influence sufficiently shown forth
upon the 81, GOO feet of wall space reserved
for works of American artists, even if it
were not more loudly proclaimed in the
statuary and sculptured mural decorations
upon the various departmental buildings
of the fair and about the grounds.
Considerable criticism of these same dec
orations by persons unaccustomed to view
ing representations in marble and oil of
the undraped human form has been evoked,
and they have been designated "Frenchy''
with a sneer that Classics them at once
with immoral pictures How unjust this
is only refined artistic taste can estimate,
and to such taste the suggestions con.
veyed are entirely those of nobility,
strength, grace and beauty and have moth
ing in common with the morbid and erotic,
These prudish critics need education sad
ly and will never have better opportunity
for it than right here at the Worlds fair.
They need to learn first of all that what
is called 1.-THE nude in art" is means to an
end and not, as they seem to suppose, an
end in itself Perhaps this truth will be
borne in upon them when they contemplate
some of the masterpieces upon Scriptural
and devotional subjects in the French col
lection and perceive the fidelity to inspira-
ton which is the ruling spirit of French
art work, as it should be of all art.
But, liberal as is the space assigned to
France in the Art building, it does not con-
tain 1.-THE of the forms in which French
art manifests itself Every part of the ex-
position in which Frenchmen have secured
room bears witness to this, but none per
haps SO eloquently as the section of the
Manufactures building devoted to French
ceramics and tapestries. Treasures in
Sevres porcelains and Beauvais and Gobe-
lin tapestries are to be seen there that have
never before been sent from the factories
and have only been exhibited there to a
favored few.
Strange, isn't it, that China should still
be the only country to seriously dispute
the supremacy of France in the manufac.
ture of porcelain? The Mongols have sent
some of their finest specimens, but the
chances are that nine out of ten of the Wis
itors to the fair will remember the Chinese
chiefly because of the peculiar architecture
and decorations of their combined teahouse,
theater, josshouse and museum in Midway

alter is really more interesting than the
plays enacted by the light of it, though it
seems odd that it should be illuminated by
electricity. The great 36-foot dragon with

Engineers on the railroads in several
parts of the state have experienced much
difficulty in running their trains on time
during the past week awing to the large
downfall of leaves upon the tracks. The
Housatonic road has suffered most
through the long stretches of woodland
which the road passes. 1t has been i'm
possible for the section hands on the diff
ferent divisions to keep the tracks free
from them. The result is that when the
wheels of the locomotive pass over them
the sap from the leaves makes the rails
slippery and the obstruction is as bad as
hail, snow or ice. 1t is even worse, as
the leaves refuse to melt or freeze, but
stick to the rails until dried up.-New

In colors this season the blues are
rather gray in hue, while the grays
either have tinge of lavender or lilac.
or else show a greenish hue, deepening
into mignonet or sage. The heliotropes
are more than ever suited to those brn-
nets who have a clear complexion, but
the woman who is unfortunate enough
to be sallow should never wear or per-
init to be near her any shade of the deli
cate hue. But the glaring emerald green
is not only at once trying, but loud, and
cannot be commended even for the much
quoted lady who has the skin of peach.
The popularity Of black is very great.
The soft woods or mixtures of silk and
wool being shown especial favor. A
black wool gown is always refined and
ladylike. So she who can get only one
gown will be wise in choosing that it
shall be entirely in the fashion by being
black.-Ladies' Home journal.

How Not to Extermipate the Indians.

Let US not vigorously crowd the Indi-
ans to abandon tribal organization. If
this is done before they are ready for it,
they will surely lapse into degradation.
Let them remain in compact bodies on
reservations to help one another over the
change and do not compel them to COM
mingle and compete with the white race
in a struggle in which they must be hope
lessly doomed. Slowly by law and by
instruction teach them the value of our
property laws. Do not force citizenship
upon them, but let them sue for it. We
should hold ourselves ever ready to grant
it, but let them first discover it's benefits.
If such q policy is maintained for two
generations more, the problem will be
solved-the remnant of the Indians will
be saved and absorbed in modern en-
