In one of our fashionable boarding
schools for young ladies, the principal,
who inherits soms Puritan blood, has
interdicted all current literature ex-
cept The Iron Age She says that
everything else has gone over 20
skirts. Even the daily papers have a
skirt department of literature. In
which men and women artists devote
their souls day and night 10 portraying
and describing petticoats, chernisettes
and hosiery. This stalwart New Eng
land principal says that she doesn't
know what the effect of all this is up
on the men, but she contends that the
influence Is ruinous upon young girls.
and 30 she tries to correct il by making
them read the only paper that az this
moment hasn't booming skirt depart
ment- She says that IL her Young
women found out that the whole
American public was ravening after
drapery they would get an utterly f. tai
idea Of the supreme Importance Of hair
cloth and garters and lace.

this Is. but do pretend TO know what

ury. lie had q gorgeous array of fans
on the wall from different women; he
had dancing slippers On the mantle
from contributing corypbcuses; one or
two of them were stained by the wine
las boon companions had dranx out of

over which modistes fl their dresses.
The curtain fell in pillows OF lace like
beauty's train, and were caurh, up
by the belts which misses wear. Hand
some pictures OF salncious order were
festooned by suggestive drapery, as II
art had gone into skirts. lie had coli

were open parasols. and rampled Ia

His Good Hsnor Toward Ma Antagonists
In F.r;lAm~nt-kn Irritating Servant
IL Is curious thing that. although
Lord North was not q man of genius
and suffered from many physical de-
fects. including extreme nesr-sighted-
ness. he had yet such intellectual
GIFTS. combined with high character
and unfaiiing courage. that he was
able TO stand firm for years against the
efforts Of Fox and Burke. of Cunning,
and :savillc and last. but not least. the
younger Pitt. says Temple Bar. His
cheerful temper was never ruffied, and.
while his opponents dashed themselves
into frenzy and indignation, he calmly
surveyed them rs parliamentary
curiositieA When he did reply 70 his
antagonists Il was always with unfail-
Ing good humor.
On one occasion, for example. when
interpos;ng In quarrel. he observed
that there was often far too much
readiness 70 take offense. THAT Is
not Eny own case" he added This
very evening one member who spoke
Of me described me az that thing
called a minister Well, to be sure"
continued Lord North, here patting
his ample sides; II am an unwieldy
thing. the honorable member, there
fore, when he called me a thing said
what was true, and / could not DO
angry with him. But when he added.
that thing called a minister. he called
me that thing which Of all things he
himself wished most to be. and there
fore took Il rs a compliment
50 amiable likewise was Lord North
in private life that his daughter re-
corded IL as an extraordinary circum-
stance that there was only one person
who ever made him angry. This was
one of his servants. n drunken.
stupid groom, who was distinguished
by the children as ''the man that puts
papa In passion" Yet this Irritating
individual was never dismissed. but
died in the service of his indulgcnt
master.
As q minister Lord North was con-
scientious and upright. but in dealing
with such a formidable crisis as the
American revolt he lacked resolution
and flrrnness. He also too frequently
yielded his own deliberate Judgment
20 the persuasion Of the king and his
friends. His daughter described his
weakness as the want Of power TO
resist the influence of those he loved. :"

adopted:
In view of the loss to this club of one of its
most hOnored members, John Nelson Lord, and
in token of respect for his memory, this asso-
citation adopts the following resolutions, and
orders them extended upon the record as a last
ing memorial of his worth:
RESOLVED That in theNlife and character of
Mr.. Lord we recognize the loyal citizen, the
honest man, the agreeable companion. Con-
scientious and exact in the performance of all
his Duties to the church, the state, his fellow
man and his kindred. Ever ready to give of his
means and influence for the support Of the
ResoJUed That we extend TO his sorrowing
family our heartfelt sympathy In their bereave-
ment, and we realize that home made desOlate
by the death of one whose presence was always
benediction must create a void In the family
circle that must always remain source Of
grief.
RESOLVED, That copy of these resolutions,
signed by the president and secretary be sent
to his family.

GEORGE L. KNIGHT Secretary.
