Wearing Mourning.

We note with interest and gratif>
cation the announcement ttat the
Princess Of Wales has fatty refused
to wear crepe as part of the mourning
costume for her sou, the late Duke of
Clarence.
Seriously, this custom of wearing
crepe in commemoration of our dead
is the very ghastliest surviving relic
of barbarism. 1t has filled the world
with senseless gloom through count.
less generations. 1t is ugly, stupid,
depressing and unhealthy. There
is nothing to recommend and
everything to discredit it, morally,
physically aud sentimentally. The
spectacle OF a woman walking along a
public street, shrouded from head to
foot in grewsome crepe, is painful and
shocking IN the last degree. Not only
does it sadden others, but it brushes
the wearer herself under in descr,ba able
woe. 1t is - hideous mockery, too,
because it represents, not tho degree
OF misery the mourner feels, but the os,
tentation Of sorrow deereed by millin.

crepe and bombazine and gloomy drv
goods generally, the widow is broken.

The Farmer and Politics.

The prosperity of a farmer TO- day
depends more on the methods he EN-
ploys than on governmental rule
Take seeds for an example: Many
farmers who are sliye to their own in
terests in other things are careless in
buying seeds. They seem to think
that seed is seed and there it ends.
If there was more knowledge about
seeds and greater care exercised in
their selection, there would be richer
crops and better returns.
Resl'zing this, D. NJ. Ferry & Co.,
the famous seed firm of Detroit, Mich,
have embodied in their illustrated
Annual for 1898, much valuable in.
formation about seeds and their Sc
lection. 1t contains the knowledge
CLEANED from many years practical
experience in the seed business, and
the newest and best things about gar.
dens and gardening. Such q book
issued by a firm of unquestioned
reliability is of the highest value to
every one who plants a seed. Al.
though the cost of printing and EN-.
hellishing it with beautiful il1ustra-
items have been great, it is sent free
to any one making application to the
above firm.

Some Smart Aleck in the
Eastern States has just learned that
General Grant was offered $4,000 a
year for life to become the President
OF the Panama Canal Company. As
the fact was published in every news
paper printed in either the English
or the French language when the
offer was made, there is nothing very
startling in the resurrection OF the
chestnut. We distinctly remember
that General Grants refusal was at
the time looked upon as going to
show that the enterprise would not
succeed; and it was accepted as a
foreruuner of its failure. Sensation.
hunters ought to respec. such an
illustrious grave as Grants.

A KaHee Klatsch.

What the tea is to the English
and American entertainer tho kaffee
klatsch is to the German. The real
klatsch is an affair where women only
are expected to take part, though the
kaffee klstsch as given in America is
but variation of the regular tea, and
both men and women are supposed to
attend.
The hours are usually from 4 TO 7
and the callers are not expected to
don any especially or extra dress for
the occasion. The hostess wears 4
pretty house gown, and altogether it
is q most charming and informal af-
fair. The refreshments consist Of
coffee and little German cakes or he t
rolls. The coffee is presided over by
some young girl friend of the hostess
or the lady of the house herself does
the honors, while the cakes are passed
without ceremony by the men or any
one present who feels inclined to
do SO.
A klatsch in Germany means go.
cable time, minus hats and bonnets.
and occupied with fancy work or any
sewing can be done amid such pleas.
ant surroundings. Here, however,
this feature of tho entertainment is
missing and conversation or a little
music Is all that is expected.
A kaffee klstsch could re made de-
cidedly picturesque if the maidens
serving the coffee were attired in
quaint German costumes, and If q
further innovation were approved it
might result in dance by these self.
Same girls to the time of their wooden
shoes. As with a tea the kaffee
klatsch is most economical method
of discharging ones social obligations,
ard as variation Of the regular thing
may meet with approval.

a New Gun.

WAsHINaToN, Dec. 24.-The United
States war vessels are to be equipped
with new and formidable weapon.
The Bureau of Ordnance of the Navy
Department has perfected the design
of a Finch rapid-fre gun, which it
thinks will successfully utilize some
of the recent results attained in OK
periments with high explosives. The
gun is composed of two pieces only,
the tube and jacket, and it's weight
will be about that of 6-inch, 40
caliber, high-powcr gun. The pro-
jectile which the gun is designed to
carry is a tubular projectile of 200
pounds weight with a bursting
charge of from fifty to sixty pounds
of high explosives. 1t will be of the
rapidfire type, with fixed ammunition
The gun is decided departure from
the rapid-fre guns now in use. and is
destined to create stir in ordnance
circles. 1t will be the largest gun of
the rapid-fre type ever constructed.
The largest in existence at present
are the 5-inch rapid-ir guns with
which some of the new cruisers are
armed. These are larger than any
of the same type in use in the for
eign navies.
