Ladies' Summer Styles are Nearly Fac
SMILES of Those Of our
GRANDMOTHER.

Leading designers Of fashions are
already discussing the revival OF tho
STYLES of the Louis XIII period, and
believe also that Eliza bethan ruf1les
and stomaohers will come into fashion
for the summer casino toilettes. In
making the new skirts dressmakerS
perform real stroke of magic. For
while the amateur modiste finds her
self at a loss to reproduce one OF these
new models, the experienced prefes-
sional knows how to fit the hips in
front gore or pleat and cause the
skirt to suddenly expand and mare
outward at the feet, where 1t meas
ures many yards in circumference.
And this simply because she wisely
takes her knowledge from the Fash
ion Magazines published both IN Par-
is and New York, by A. Mcdowell "
Co. These illustrated magazines are
an invaluable guide to any one VINO
seeks information IN the latest fash
ions. La Mode de Paris" and Paris
Album of Fashion each cost $50 a
wear. or 35 cents copy, and contain
a cyclopadia OF knowledge on this
subject. The French DreSsInaker, .
which cost only $500 per annuIn, or
30 cents a copy, il without peer for
practical drsssmaking. They also
contain lessons on current styles
which alone place them above com
petition. La Mode with its low
subscription price Of $3.50 year, or
Is cents copy, is the Home Journal
par excellence" If unable to find
any OF these magazines at your news
dealers do not accept any substitute,
but apply directly 20 Messrs. A. Nc

A Young Preachers Suicide.

At Columbus, Ohio, last Monday,
Claude Wilson, an eloquent young di,,
vine of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. died from a dose of rough on
rats. Wilson had a charge at Shaw
nee, where he showed a high gift OF
eloauence, but his eyes failed him and
he had to return to the house OF his
father, John Wilson, a prominent cit
zen. The young man was in love
with Miss Carrie Kingston, and the
two were engaged. The young lady
thought the wedding should be post
poned until Wilson had recovered,
and the two quarreled over the mat
ter. Sunday Wilson called on her
and said if she did not marry him at
10 O'Clock Monday morning he would
kill himself. He put in an appear
ence and was ordered away by the
young lady's brother, Frank. The
preacher drew q revolver, but was
promptly knocked down. Wilson
crawled TO the porch, arose and swal-
lowed the poison He died that night.

Chained Her to the Floor.

Lolita Gale, daughter Of John Gale,
of Covington, Va, was found chained
TO the floor of her room and released
by the police q few days ago. 1t is
said that her father chained her there
two weeks ago TO prevent her from
clipping. Her lover complained to
the authorities during her fathers
absence and an officer was instructed
to free her, which he did against the
protest OF her aunt and mother, who
were guarding her. a staple was
driven into the floor under her bed, to
which a chain was fastened, and the
other end was locked around the girl 8
ankle. Great indignation Is felt in
the community over the inhuman
cruelty. Gale is the proprietor of the
Gale House, and the daughter is a
beautiful girl II years old.

readiness for visitors May l.
2. An abundance OF drinking water,

A TIMELY WARNING.

The news from over the ocean that
the cholera is steadily advancing
through Russia tow ard the west. and
that in different parts of Europe there
are still cases of the plague left over
from last fall, should be an emphatic
warning to the people Of the United
States to prepare now to fight that
dreadful scourge. The cities of the
seaboard will do all in the power of
human beings to prevent the disease
from getting into this country, but
we of the interior must not take it
for granted that these efforts will re-
suit in success We too should be
vigilant-we should prepare to battle
with the pestilence.
Country towns are not generally
models of sanitation and cleanliness.
The laws of health are violated
through ignorance and because OF the
fact that in a community where all
are neighbors no one will complain OF
another. A board of health is an I'M
known thing, and with no one whose
business il is TO look after sanitary
measures such affairs are complete
~ neglected.
1t is time now to look after these
matters. Stringent steps should be
taken to clean up our town, abate
all nui.ances, destroy all probable
source. Of disease, and devise and
maintain efficient sanitary regula
tions. The hog should be banished
and the pig pen abolished; every out
house that is not properly construct
ed should be rebuilt; every stable
should be looked after; u house to
house visitation should be made and
cellars carefully examined; the streets
and alleys should be kept perfectly
clean; slaughter-houses should be
placed beyond the danger line; nui-
sances of every sort and condition
should be peremptorily abated and
cleanliness reign in every quarter.
TO follow such course we have
indicated above will arouse opposl-
ton, we know. There are those who
will cling TO their pigs, even though
the health of their own household
and that OF their neighbors is en-
danxered visit of inspection TO see
IL the cellar is clean will be taken by
MANY as personal insult ; interior
ence with the husinefs or habits OF
some will be regarded as an outrage.
But these theings should be done,
We ought to have
board of health composed of capable,
men, who should be backed
up by the lawful authorities. And ii
a few persons resent the enforcement
OF proper measures they should be
promptly squelched by public senti.
ment.
We believe it is a necessity, if we
value our health, TO adopt practical
measures along this line at once.
Let our authorities take the initia-
tive, and then let our people cheer
fully comply with all requirements.
Now is the time to prevent disease,
1t will be too late when once 1t gets
foothold.

The season for tree planting is now
here and we submit a few timely sug-
gestions: Make holes large enough TO
give the roots Of every tree planted
free, full room 10 sire out, and
grow rs nature i,tends hey shall in
crease in vigor and vitality. Many
people plant tr- rs in holes which rem
der it necessar, twist and bend the
roots tightly to- aer, cramping them
in such way as to retard their
growth. This is the reason why so
many newly planted trees die where
they are placed, a encouragement to
those who do the planting, but no
fault of the dealer who sold the tree.

Little Judith, the eight year old
daughter of Mr.. Mullineaux, of the
Inland Christian Advocate, Des Moines,
Iowa. on learning that her special
playmate, q child of her own age, had
taken the whooping cough, took a
bottle Of medicine, which had cured
her of a troublesome cough, and went
over and said: You must take this
medicine; it will do you good" Mr..
Mullineaux was curious as to the re-
suit and on making inquiry learned
that the little neighbor, who had
been unable TO rest at night, had been
greatly relieved in that respect. The
paroxysms were neither so frequent,
severe or enduring. The cough, I'M
der the genial action Of this admira-
BILE remedy, was loosened. The med
icine liquifies the mucus and enables
the sufferer to throw it off. The at
tack in the beginning gave every evil
dence of being q severe attack OF
whooping cough. Indeed it was a
genuine case; but this preparation,
while perhaps it may not be posi-
tive cure for the disease, is undoubt-
eddy able to alleviate it. If it does
not cure it, it will give unquestioned
relief The medicine referred to is
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. For

Kissed a Red-Hot Iron.

Attempting to steal kiss Wednes-
day from the pouting lips OF pretty
Mrs. Emma Bessinger, of Jersey City,
n. j., led to lots of tribulation for an
indiscreet Romeo named John h.
Webb, of that city. The fair Juliet
not only scorched off the handsome
brown mustache that adorned Webb's
lips with a curling iron, but also scar
ed his amorous and osculatory mem-
bers. To cap the climax Judge Kim
merly added to the woes Of the gay
masher by imposing fine of 800.
Webb is a canvasser for a close
squeezing clothes wringer, and fire.
quently demonstrates its merits with
his arms about the waist of a willing
customer. He does not object to
kisses, either. When he called upon
Mrs. Bessinger Wednesday he found
her curling her hair in the parlor.
She refused to purchase and Webb
determined to try his osculatory trick
in trade and stepped to the mirror,
from which was reflected pair OF
cherry lips that he asked permission
to kiss.
why, certainly said Mrs. Bessin-
ger. and the gay young man placed
his arms about her waist, leaned slight
ly forward, and was just ready for the
moment of superlative happiness
when Mrs. Bessinger quickly placed
the red-hot iron against Webb's lips,
and then wildly screamed for help.
Webb screamed, too. but it was with
pain, and with an odor Of singed mus
tache and burned flesh lowering about
him, he started on run to the street.
Mrs. Bessinger followed, and just at
the door met Policeman Reidy, who
arrested the canvasser.
