WHAT STOUT WOMEN SHOULD WEAR.

WHAT STOUT WOMEN SHOULD WEAR.
For stout women who cannot wear
belted waists there are very graceful
coats, with skirts to match, of serge,
sacking or the more dressy crepon.
These coats have continuous breadths
fitted to the waist, then widening out in
what is called the bell back and also the
umbrella back There is no scam down
the middle of the back, but side forms
adjust it becomingly. The fronts fall
straight and open, with long shawl
collar to which collarctte is sometimes
added. The skirt is gorcd, but not too
closely, and is trimmed only at the foot,
hs horizontal bands higher up add to the
apparent size. The vest may be close

ference for summer gowns is for a full

OUR FRIENDS THE sKUNKs.
They Eat Certain CIR ubs That Are De-
structive to Hops.
U-.-. NJ, Yah

From the Neig York Tribune
The hop growers OF Otsego county have
discovered-whRt naturalists have long
been trying to understend-shRt skunks, in
stead of being their enemies. as they form
erly supposed, are among their most useful
friends. AS one hop grower expressed it,
Nowadays We protect skunks as carefully
as We do song birds"
Hop yards, it appears, ore Infested by a
certain Kind OF grub which gnsWs off the
tender vines at the root, and this grubis the
food of the skunk.
AS O general thing the skunks sally forth
at niGhtful, but now and then they are to
be seen az work in broad daylight. The
proceeding is an interesting ono 20 watch.
The skunk begins his guess on the edge of
the yard, where be cocks his head over a
hill OF hops and listens. If grub is as
work upon one OF the four trailing vines, bis
quick ear is sure to hear it. At once he ba-
gins TO paw up the earth, and presently he
is seen to uncover grub aud swallow it with
unmistakable relish.
Then he listens again, and If he hears
nothing proceeds to the ue1t hill And 80
no goes on till he has had his eli.
Now that the skunks are no longer mo-
Tested, they have become comparatively
fearless. Sometimes, we are told, they
keep I'D their operations even while the
cultivatOr is driven between the rows.
One man rejoiced in the presence of q
skunk family-two old onss and their five
kittens. The young ones followed their
father and mother about tho yard IN broad
daylight, while people stood looking on.
They were both ornamental and useful; but
one day two strange dogs came along and
killed them. The farmer actually shed
tears when no saw his seven pets lying dead
on the ground.

me W omen or Alaska Permit Man to
Ee Glad That q is Alive.
From the Wastino ct on Star.
"Alaskan women said Judge Sheakley.
who was for five years United States com
missioner at Alaska, 'have way of bring~
ing their husbands to time which is very
effective,
They do not fling fatirons and rolling
pins or give curtain lectures, but retire to
4 corner, neglect their household duties and
sulk, refusing to say q word. A few DAYS
OF this treatment bring the husband round.
The women in Alaska also have an odd
way Of quarreling. They do not pull hair
or resort to f1sticuffs, but after giving each
| other severe tongue lashing they retire to
their homes. AlRskans are divided up into
families, such as the Bear, Crow aud Deer
families. These families take cognizaucs
Of quarrels, aud feuds result. After
the quarrel Mrs. Bear will retire to
her house, tear up her clothing
and two OF three blankets, and then send
word to Mrs. Esgle, her enemy. 1t there
upon becomes incumbent upon Mrs. Eagle
to destroy a greater amount of clothing
aud more blankets Of her own than Mrs.
Bear. By pursuing this peculiar process
she evens things up in the quarrel. If she
did not do 30, she would be disgraced in
the eyes Of her relatives and opposite
tribes
THE women are great traders, carry the
purse, aud manage things generally. II the
husband makes bad bargain in trading his
wife ridicules him.
There is q woman in Sitka known ns
Princess Tom, who is very rich. She az
one time had three husbands, but has be-
come Chrtstianized and has discarded two.
She is an extensive trader and has several
large canoes in which she transports goods
from Sitka n tina
them with the natives for furs She is
known all over Alaska. and wears upon her
arms twenty or thirty gold bracelets made
out $40 gold pieces.
''The natives also trace their genealogy
through the female branch of the family
and the Inheritance Gomez through the
mothers side. For instance, if a chisf
should die leaving son, his sisters son or
nephew would succeed in authority, and not
his own SOD. The women are not slaves, as
in the Indian tribes In this country, but ex-
erciss q great deal of authority.
They have another peculiar custom. In
this country a mans prominence depends
largely upon his wealth. Among the
Alsskans it depends upon how much he
gives away. Ii a rich member OF the Eagle
tribe, for example, wishes to become chief
or prominent man, he makes a pot latch
or gift Of all his property. All the mem
beers OF the Eagle family, no matter how re-
mote, are invited to attend the pot lascn,'
and the festivities include dancing and
feasting and frequently last a week. The
more he gives away and the poorer he
makes himself the more exalted he becomes
in the estimation of his fellows
"The women emulate their sex in civil
ICED countries in their afrectation of bright
and gaudy colors, and most of the mouey
that they receive is invested in bright-col-

JUDGE LYNCH.

The lynching of q negro brute at
Marion again calls attention to
the necessity for reforming the code as
the only practical and sure method of
suspending the operations of Judge
Lynch. No one will have the hardi-
hood TO deny that public sentiment
sustains such acts as the Marion lynch
ing. Nine out of every ten men will
openly stand by it. The most sacred
thing in human keeping-a woman's
honor-must be preserved. and avenged
when violated.
Lynohing is the outgrowth OF belief
that the delays of the law are in them
selves partial miscarriage OF justice.
When a law becomes obnoxious to any
considerable majority of the people,
that law will be dead letter. When
the whole body of the law fails, in
popular estimation, to At certain case,
