Flat Rebellion.

Since the short waist, the empire waist,
is looming more and more largely on the
horizon it may be interesting to give the
opinion on this subject of u Partisan
woman Of the world who has very de-
cided views ON all things relating to
dress. Her views ON the short waists
are contained in the following fragment
Of dialogue she had with the head Of
one Of the firms Of fashionable dress
makers in Paris:
II shall rebel, sirt Nothing in the
world shall induce me to wear your en-
pire dressr'
"But, madam"-
"Your waist line under the armi Why,
it is preposterous. On trying on the cos
tune you sent me last month found to
my horror that looked like big baby
in it. You know I wrote to you at once
saying that l should never make such a
fright of myself, and now, as soon as l
enter your place, you propose to make
another such gown for me. It is mad

"But, madam
"No, sir; no! You have had your own
way little too long, you dressmakers,
and you have begun to think that we
shall fall in with all your caprices. But

to the empire dress. So do not say any
thing more. have said my last word.

TAKE BROAD GROUND.

The International Irrigation Con-
grsss opened its sessions in Los Angeles
Yesterday under most favorable au-
epices. The body is repres entative
one, and its deliberations ought to be
productive Of much good. An organ;za-
tion was effected aud the rest of the
week will be devoted to dissertations OF
much interest on interesting phases OF
the overshadowing national topic of irri
CATION. Governor Markham acquitted
himeelf OF neat speech of welcome, in
which he developed an interesting train
OF thought on the issue OF the day.
Much is expected from the congress.
Il 10 hoped that it will take broad and
strong ground on the advisability Of the
government improving it's own domain
aad providing homes for the people.
There is every warrant for the adoption
of such policy by the United States,
especially as it can be done without
any actual expenditure of the
public money, at the came tims
that the currency should be
materially increased. We have several
times developed in the HERALD per-
lectIy feasible scheme for accomplish
both OF these objects, thus killing two
birds with one stone. There is absolute
ly nothing impracticable in such plan.
When Dewitt @. Clinton championed
the creation OF the Erie canal 8
great many persons thought his scheme
imprecticable and even crazy. He car.
ried it through, however, and as result
New York became the metropolis OF the
country. Tne arid lands should be cold
by the government at fair price after
water has been developed and put upon
them. The project of ceding them tc
the states and territories is bat smother
name for surrendering them to the con.
troll of monopolists. Treat our arid
lands as you treat rivers and barbors--
improve them. There is this difference
between the two classes OF improve
ments-you can cell the lands with their
betternents.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; efrectually cleansing the system
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in Doc and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being we'll informed, you will not

Thetr Habits and Instincts In Regard to
SheltertpS Themselves.
The reluctance with which most hui
man beings face voluntary exposure to
such (yvet) weather will account for our.
very limited knowledge of the shifts
and devices by which our wild animals
epdeavor to avoid the worst discom forts
which it brings But those who are
bold enough to go forth in all weathers
know by experience that in ali but the
most open countries there are generally
to be found some cosey corners to which
the rain does not penetrate, or which,
even if not dry, are sheltered from the
direct access of the driving drops
Animals, birds especially, while
showing the utmost dislike to end lure
the storm, are by no means clever in
the of such natural shelters as
might be supposed Hares, as rule,
leave the open country and seek shell
ter in the woods; and stupid they are
in circumstances new to their expert
ence as when suddenly chased, or in
avoiding snares and traps, they show
considera BILE ingenuity in securing their
comfort They nearly always make a
form near, but not touching, the trunk
of some large tree Thus, while securin e
the shelter of the stem and overhanging e
,in bs, they avoid the water which drains
down to the main column and forms. as
any one may see by looking at the foot
of a large timber rec in a meadow, a
tiny canal Mt the fase of the trunk.

For the best dresses that women OF
moderate means keep for special occa-
sions there are various Inexpensive
satin fabrics that wear and look muc n
better than silks of similar low price.
For the present season the satin sura hs
are not heavy enough, and real satin
is too costly, hence the careful shoppc =
buys the satin duchess merveillcux,
because its surface is closely woven in
stead of showing a broad serge-like
twill that cheapens the effect at once.
These come in olive aud moss green,
copper red, maroon and golden brow n
shades, as we'll as in black, at prices
ranging from eighty cents to one dol
lar and twenty-five cents yard Black
is first choice just at the moment, and
a skirt of this material now in the
dressmaker's han,!s is made in the still
highly popular enlarged bell shape with
a plated ruche, with rows of jctted
gimp above for trimming. This one skirt
has, to be worn with it, stylish Goa {
of satin brocade with caPe-collar and
sleeves of velvet, an Eton jacket of
satin, like the skirt, opening over n
blouse waist trimmed with the jetted
gimp; and low-cut sleeveless corsei t

with guimpes and fancy waists. N. Y.

to have ten powerful floating lights two

The man who put this question to the
clerk at the Fifth Avenue hotel the
other night was a,tircd in evening z
dress and had thrown open his over
coat SO as to reveal his expansive shirt
bosom with its twinl>ling diamond
studs. He affected the elegant in his
attitude. also. and swung his silver
banded cane with air Of impor-
tance. His physique, voice and face
were designed to aid him in his attempt
to create an impression. lie was tall
and dbroad-shoulderctl, had big features
aud an aggressive black mustache,
and his voice was deep and sonorous.
He looked like a man who might try to
buIldoze another of lesser frame.
The clerk looked up at him with n
bland smile, but made no prctcnse of
looking at the key rack, is his GUS
tom when he wants to learn whether Il
guest is in his room or not. Neithc r
did he look at the register nor at his
list of the days guests. lie simply
eaid:
Mr.. Henry Wilson. did YOU say?
There is no such person stopping
hcre.''
The inquirer. looked a little taken
aback: and frown passed quickly
over his face. When he spoke, the
tone of his voice suggested that he felt
the clerk had estimated him properly,
but he was impelled to make at
tempt to change the clerks theory.
''Is that sop he asked in surprise
that was evidently assumed; "whcn did
he leave?''
<.I don't rene m Der his having been
here" said the clerk, in tone full of
meaning.
'.Oh, pshaw; you must be mistaken" ="
said the man, fretfully. "Why, l am
certain he was here a week ago. I
have a telegram from him asking me
to meet him on last Wednesday. Tn
fortunately, I was out of town when
the telegram arrived, and it was not
forwarded. Wilson is the big million
aire contractor from Chicago, YOU
know"
The last sentence was spoken SO
loudly that the men standing around,
and even those on the settees, heard it
and looked at the speaker.
'sHe did not stop here said the
clerk, in a monotonous, oh-you-ma AXE
mc-tired tone
You are quite sure?'' said the man,
switching from the confident to the
conciletory.
Positive said the clerk, turning
away
The man concealed the fact that he
was disconnected very clevcrly. lie
picked toothpick out of the box on
the counter, and put it between his
lips, with an appearance of one lost in
thought Then he turned around and
learned with his back against the
clerks desk. His attitude was studicd-

his surroundings, and to be looking
