 Lovely in it's way, but fantastic enough to cause the greatgrand. mother of the owner to stare her eyes out in wonder, is the rcticule of a cer- tain dainty damsel who catches few dress whispers from Paris and develops them in prettiest style herself. This reticulc. the owner assures me, is car ried only with her favorite toilets, and after glimpse of the exquisite crea- tion one does not wonder that she prizes it. It is fashioned of shot rain bow" gauge made over a white satin founda tion. In the center of the gauge is branch of cherries painted in wa ter colors, while about the top, sides and bottom of the bag are gathered three ruffles, otN above the other, the first of satin, the second of shot gauge, while surmounting this is q waterfall of white lace. Amid the sheen of satin and of foamy lace, at the top, several clusters of ripe red cherries are tucked, luscious looking even in their artifi- ciality. Each of the four corners of the bag is tipped with bunch of cherries, and the wide white satin ribbon from which the reticulc swings is finished at the top with lace rosette centered with an especially tempting specimen of the fruit.
 On another equally dainty reticule the cherries are replaced by punches of sweet peas, and still another of these conceits has q gauge butterfly se- cured in the middle and one at each corner of the lustrous old-pink satin bag.
 Frail as these trifles appear, they are really very convenient little stow aways, taking the place of a pocket in a charming manner. Besides offering a home for it's owners fan, handker- chief and vinaigrette, the evening reticule also acts as a hower-holder. With one of these bags swung from her arm the csthetic miss has no need to carry her flowers in her hand. She opens the rcticule, slips down in it's depths the stems of the blooms, draws

than their chance social relations Women are broader than men believe They can love not only in one way, but in twenty different ways. Because they must feel thing before knowing it well, they easily become attached to an opinion, plan, or an ambition. But they are stanch adherents, and worth having as allies. If man can once enlist the sympathy of good woman in his work, he is sure of an anchor after that
 Women are always ambitious for their friends; they delight in purpose, and will not let it be forgotten. Even the silly and selfish woman can be in a measure lifted out of her narrowness by being made partner in some worthy aim. Not that it is advisable to seek partners among the silly and selfish; there are numbers of others, in telligent, conscientious and earnest if men really care for them. What stands in the way of an understanding by men of the character of modern woman is their distrust of her. When they learn to put that aside they will know her as she really is.

Peaches Fit for n King.

If you once eat peaches served in the following manner you will never again slice them, especially if it be possible to obtain the finest fruit: For each guest allow two large yellow free stone peaches; place them in a vessel and pour boiling water upon them until entirely covered; in less than a minute pour off the hot water and add very cold water, lowering the tenn perature still further by lump of ice. In fifteen minutes take out the peaches, loosen the skin with pointed knife, when you can easily pull it off with the fingers. Now lay the peaches side by side in flat earthen dish and set in the refrigerator until they are ready to serve, when they should be laid side by side in shallow bowl and covered with chopped ice. At the table serve them in small shallow plates, with fork and small fruit knife so that each person can easily remove the stones, when they are to be covered with fine sugar and thick rich cream Country Gentleman.

Baron von Bauer, Austrian minister of war, said at a sitting of the budget committee of the Austrian delegation the other day that the present condi- tion of society did not permit of the abolition of dueEng. He did not app prove of duels in principle. but many classes of the population would not, ID the event of abolition of dueling, adopt any less forcible method of settling their differences, but would have re- course to ''rougher means, the fist the stick or the revolver.

ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
How the Republicans stand on the None
 Question.


 How the Republicans stand on the Money
 Question.
 It is true, as Hon. Thomas B. Reed impressivoly stated in his great speech in favor of the repeal of the purchase clause of the silver law of 1S90 that the republican party has always been the champion of true and sound finance. The republican party created the national banking system, the grandest scheme of this sort which any country has ever had, and the party has resolutely and successfully de- tended l. against attacks from the op- posing organization, and now seeks to extend and perpetuate it. It was the republican party which preserved the faith of the nation with its creditors in declaring that the governments obli- gations should be paid in coin, and it was the same party which conceived and brought about the policy of specie payments which made every dollar in currency worth its face value in gold. From the outset onward the repub- lican party has been on the right side of the silver question. The great bulk of the party opposed the Bland act in 1878 and the great bulk of the democ. racy favored it. On this issue the party has maintained its old ground. It op- posed and condemned the Bland dollar because that coin was tricky and dis honest and pretendcd to represent . value and power which it did not con tain. The republicans do not seek to demonetize silver, but they want an honest dollar, and as this cannot be had in silver in the present eXigency they desire silver absorption to be stopped until we can secure, by the aid of the leading nations of Europe, gen | eral remonetiZation of the metal. On this issue the republican position is i'm pregnablc.
 What the republican party was in the days of it's victory" in Mir. Reeds eloquent words, it is it the days of its | defeat the champion of true and sound finance; and when the day comes, as | surely it will come, for us to lead this land back to the paths of prosperity and fame which were trodden under republican rule for so many years, we shall take back with us our ancient glory undimmed by diversity, and our ancient honor, unsullied by defeat" This is sentiment to which every true republican will subscribe. The party is now, as it was in the days of its ascendancy, the party of honest money, of sound and safe currency, of a circulating medium, which, in all its varieties and issues, is as good as gold, and may be freely convertible into gold. It recognizes no politics in the silver question, supporting the presi- dent because the president is right and because he occupies republican ground; and when it regains power one of its first and most urgent duties will be to frame legislation on the finance ques- | ton which will so commend itself to the people that it will become the per mancnt policy of the country.-St Louis Globe Democrat.

WHAT WOMEN ARE DOING.
Now They Venture Into Fields Hitherto
 Uninyaded Save By Man.

tninYaded save by mans
 Queen Victoria is never seen to lose her temper with her interiors. but her servants know that household arrange ments must go as by clockwork, or the royal lady speedily knows the reason why. As a rule she calls them by their christian names and encourages them to speak freely to, her and not to stand in too much awe of her. She always inquiries their names when they first come to the palace, and, despite the immense size of her household, she, never forgets any of these names. She is kind mistress and much beloved by the domestic staff.
 There are three famous American women of letters at present in London. Mrs. Louise Chandler Moulton, Mrs. Kate Douglas Wiggin and Mrs. Pratt Mrs. MoultOn is a welcome annual in the English metropolis, but this is Mrs. Wiggins' first visit.
 The only sister of Rudyard Kipling is one of the foremost of Shakespearean scholars. She is said to know the great poet better than anyone in England, always excepting, of course, Halliwell- Phillips. Miss Kipling's power of memorizing is truly phenomenal Any where one starts a passage she can readily match the line, following straight along chapter and verse, whether it be play or sonnet Her Shakespeariana is exceedingly fine and though not an author like her famous brother, is yet a student and woman of the finest literary perception.
 Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Cruger is sell dom seen away from her famous coun- try seat, IdleSse Farm, on Long Island. There she lives in semi-royal state, en- tertaining brilliant house parties occa- sionally, but most frequently dividing her time between her writing table and beloved field and gardens It is said that Mrs. Cruger does not mean to publish again fer year or more, but she is at present engaged on the mas terpiece of her successful literary ca reer.
 With the exception of Levi P. Morton, Francis Shaw and N. K. Fairbank, the finest herd of Guernsey cattle in this country is owned by Mrs. s. P. Tabor Willets, of Roslyn, l. I. Mrs. Willets farms extensively and with remarkable financial results, Her truck is an i'm portant item every morning in the Washington market receipts, and solne of the best Hamilronian blood is found | in her ables, where numerous and cost ly trotters are bred every season.

inch all around, to cut out two shapes of coarse. strong stuff like ticking, den. i'm or burlap.
 These two pieces, together with a strip the height of the cans, form a rough cover for the footstool. Stitch the strip all around one of the pieces, then draw it over the cans as they are set in place; it will fit in snugly around each.
 Now turn all upside down and sew the other piece strongly on. The solid ends of the cans are of course to come upward for the top of the stool. Pad this upper side with cotton, then cut and put on in the same way as you did the coarse cover, one made of the material desired for the footstool, ere tonne, tapestry, or, perhaps, brussels carpeting-any fabric you consider suitable, finished with upholsterer's 8 cord to match around top and bottom. The stool is firm, durable and satisfac- tory in every respect.-A. J. Willis, in Chicago Record.

 know bright-witted young woman who utilized her reticule for preserv- ing, the evening through, some very choice blooms which in the heat of q crowded room would soon have lost their fragrance with their beauty.
 How did she do it? Why, in the sim. plest manner possible.
 Just before leaving home the girl cut in two raw potato. Making sev- eral holes in each half she inserted the stem of a flower in each, storing away potato and stems loosely wrapped in tissue paper into the rettcule. There's nothing better than a raw potato in which the stems of the blooms have been inserted for keeping fresh flow CTS which have to be out of water for several hours; and in this case the eff feet was wonderful.
 Before the evening was half over most of the belles carried Q bouquet reduced to hopelessly wilted condi. tion, while my little friend had the | atisfaction-thanks to the potato-of enjoying to the last moment the fresh beauty of her posy laden reticule.- Dorothy Maddox, in Chicago Record

WOMEN AS FRIENDS.
Men Don't Know Them as They Really
 Are.

Are.
 A correspondence of the Woman's Journal, in writing of women as friends, says:
 A man simply will not believe that a girl does not want him to make love to her; that she likes ideas in conversa- tion better than sentiment; and that, often, the more capable she is of deep and true affection the more she buries that capacity out of sight of the world, and tries, while waiting for the one man who can touch her heart, to keep up merely friendly, impersonal rela- tions with all others.
 There is great untitled field, rich in experience, for men here. If they would understand a woman's nature, , let them approach her from the calm assured standpoint of fellowship, talk ing i-Ito consideration the fact ot their common humanity rather

How to Keep the Feet Warm.

A life insurance company, whose advice
under the circumstances may be taken as
sincere, tells its clients that the golden rule
in cold weather is to keep the extremities
warm The first and most important rule
for the carrying out Of this idea is never to
be tightly shod Boots or shoes that fit
closely prevent the free circulation Of the
blood by pressure, but when, on the con-
trary, they do not embrace the foot too
firmly, the space left between the shoe and
the stocking has good supply of warm air
The second rule is never to sit in damp
shoes. 1t is often supposed that unless
shoes are positively wet it is unnecessary to
change them while the feet are at rest
This is great fallacy, for when the least
dampness is absorbed into the sole in its
evaporation it absorbs the heat from the
foot and thus perspiration is dangerously
checked. This can easily be proved by try
ing the experiment Of neslecting the rule
The feet,will be found cold and damp after
q few minutes, although on taking off the
shoe and examining it it will appear to be
quite dry.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Two Persons.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Representative
Sherman Hoar resembles very closely the
chief page in the house of representative, a
young man named Phillips. Tuesday aft
ernoon after the house adjourned Mr. Hoar
went into the washroom reserved for mem
bers, where the attendant is colored man
named Jim Hall. While Hoar was leaning
over one of the basins Hall came along and
jokingly greeted the person whom he
imposed was Phillips and at the same
time gave the budding statesman from the
old Bay State good sound kick in the re-
giob of his colttails.
Imagine the Feelings of Hall.
HOAX turned sharply around and for q
moment was very angry. Hall, seeing his
mistake, almost tainted with fright. He
offered the most abject apologies and
pleaded for his official life Several mem
bers were present and they helped to turn
the incident into joke. Hoar finally ac-
cepted Halls apology, with the remark
that he did net know which was the greater
misfortune, ito be mistaken for Phillips
