HE KNEW A SKELETON.
Joke That Recoiled Badly on Senator
Ingalls,.

a OOk9 In8G kS6COleQ 1tUQly On Sc0atOE
Ingalls,.
There have been many jokes printed
about ex-senator John j. Ingalls,, of
Kansas. His meagre endowment of
flesh has been the occasion of a good
many stories, one of the best of which
was related the other night by Kansas
man.
you know how lean Ingalls, is" he
said. "Well, down in Atchison there is
doctor who is great friend of the
senator. This doctor had been greatly
annoyed by a newsboy, who would
come into his Office very unceremoni-
ously and poster him by trying to sell
papers. One day when Ingalls, was in
the Office the boy was heard coming up
the stairs, and the doctor decided to put
up job on. him. He rushed out an
articulated skeleton, placed it on a
chair by the desk, and then the two
men withdrew to the back room.
I'm rushed the boy, and, without
noticing what was at the desk, came
directly up to the skeleton. When he
looked up and saw it grinning at him
he was nearly scared into commissions,
and bolted for the door yelling bloody
murder. The joke tickled the doctor,
but Ingalls, conscience pricked him,
and going to the window he looked out
at the boy, who was standing below
crying.

THE LEMON a CUKE-ALn.

We are fresh from a conference with
my inner consciousness on the subject
of lemons. In the days of antiquity,
say year ago, the subject of lemons
was not especially complicated, but that
was when everybody had pet infalli-
bic remedy for every evil under the
sun, and the lemon was only one of the
thousand and one things TO be recon-
mended. But this winter, if you want
to remove stains from your linen or the
TednesS from your nose, the remedy Is
lemons. If you complain of tickling
in your throat or obstinate dirt under
your finger nails. the cure is lemons. 1t
doesn't matter i'm the least that doctors
disagree, the family sageS have united
upon lemons, and lemons it is. for in
ternal remedy and external beautifica-
ton.
The cut-glass bottles on my lady's
toilet table are filled with pale yell
lOwiSh fluid, aud peep into the dainty
porcelain boxes shows only bits of lemon
instead of Sundry-scented creams. The
family medicine chest is growing cob
webbed and dusty, while the bottles
inside clink in empty, melancholy ca
dence, and the immediate cause thereof
is found in the grocer's bill, which
shows two dozen lemons a week.
If anybOdysacOuld give US any In
formation about this unprecedented
lemon boom we should feel very much
relieved. The newspapers may be an
swerable for il to Il certain extent. of
course. but to the untutOred feminine
mind it suggests all sorts of gigantic
financial schemes, corner in lemons
for instance. or something else equally
ineXpncable and, therefore. highly ter
ritying. and before we become welded
to the use OF lemons for the toilet and
the health let somebody explain why
we are all lemon mad, if anybody can
explain it.

Fashion Hints

1t is not uncommon at an evening
function to see ranged together three
women garmented in three distinct
eraS. For example, the first empire,
with its unbroken lines; the superb
costume of the time of Anne Of Austria,
with its Medici collar. and the 1880 cos
tune, with round bertha of lace, accom-
panied by sandal shoes.
There are some expensive novelties in
the form of the cOrselet waist. MANY OF
these follow the French peasant waist
IN cut, while others are cut iii fancy
form. On the French waists are straps
over the shoulders and pointed girdle
in front, from which hangs heavy jet
fringe. They are deliberately adorned
with jet.
For both hats and bOnnetS are plated
velvet Alsatian bows of great size. with
a buckle in the strap. AccOrdiOn-plaited
velvet is also used for chouX and for
covering or facing brimS. Alsatian bows
of accordion-plaited lace are also seen
on some of the newest millinery.
A favorite material for the fashion
able empire coat is Sicilienne in various
conservative colOrs. These coats have
a fitted yoke, with the lower part falling
III two plaits in the front and two in the
DdCh. OlleU utbp RAIN lTlnR6 nduSS
from the yoke. This fringe is of beads
that correspond with the material in
color.
Pingat is making short jackets to ac-
company the shortened skirts of street
suits. The average length Of these
street garments is from twenty-eight to
thirty inches. One of these Jackets is
of tan cloth, with revers and mutton
leg sleeves of ribbed tan-colOred velvet
shot with green.
New sleeves are large and fall in
droOpng folds from the shoulders to the
elbows.
For simple dresses, red cashmere,
trimmed with dotted bands, embroid-
cred in black silk, are worn by little
children, with a white nains0ok
guimpe.
The waists of the newest French
dresses are either quite round or just a
tride pointed in the back. Others are
princess in the back and show the round
waist in the front only.
The fashionable novelty in dress
skirts is the much-gored umbrella
shape, with an astonishing flare at the
foot.

tanned without exposing oneself to be
condemned by the church. All this and
nothing else. 1t is OF faith that the pain
of loss shall never cease, and IL is to be
admitted as certain that pain of sense
in some degree shall endure.
Mr.. MiYarts purpose is not to induce
any comforting hope in the sinners
breast; but by strict economy of the
chutch's teachings to bring, if at all
possible, the dogma of hell within closer
reach Of our limited reason. What the
church does not require Of men to hold,
neither do we. nor can we.

eft to come to you and to me from a
consideration of it is an accrued power
to still our passions. and to direct our
soul upward toward God. Heaven call

be possible that l yet sin, spurn Thy
love, despise Thy threats, and so live as
TO compel Thee to close against me the
portals of Thy kingdom Of truth and
holiness, and to permit me TO depart
from Thee forever into everlasting fire?

Too Many Fathers.

A pretty story comes from Russia by
way of compensation for the many ugly
stories starting there. During the last
Russian war with Turkey the soldiers
of a regiment rejoicing in the name of
the KekhOlmsky regiment found a
woman lying dead with a living girl
child in h9r arms. The child was
adopted by the regiment and educated
at its expense. At the close of her
school life she took UP her abode with
her collective fathers.
The other day a young Russian Off
Ger demanded the hand of Maria Kek-
holmskaya of the regiment. A meeting
was called, the parents considered the
matter. and when young Lieut.. Shlem-
mer gave proofs of his good character
the regimental consent to the marriage
was given. The lieutenant must be a
brave man to thus face a whole regi-
ment of fathers. when one father is
usually considered rather formidable
when that particular question is to be
asked

1t will be unique in every sense. The
foreign countries which have spaces in
the rustic building are Japan, Hon
duras, Hayti, Spain, Germany, Ecuador,
Columbia. Brazil, Mexico, New South
Siam and India. The states and terri
tories which will have interior exhibits
are Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Virginia,
Arizona, Kentucky, Minnesota. Ne
braska, Montana, Wyoming, New Mex
leo. Wisconsin, North Dakota, Ohio,
Washington, Michigan, West Virginia,
Missouri, North Carolina, Indiana,
Maine, New York, California, Utah and
Idaho. OF these West Virginia and
Michigan have the largest space. and
the exhibits from these states will be
on an elaborate scale. Other states will
show peculiarly unique specimens, and
the grouping of woods in the various
spaces will form most artistic whole.
Our exhibit will be unlike any other.
Aside from specimens of all our prin-
cipal timber wood, carefully prepared
for the most attractive and practical
showing, we shall have a beautiful dis
play of our Towering plants, mainly In
the rustic simplicity of our exhibit, and
the groupings Of our woods amid flow
ers and playing fountains, will COM
mand attention Impressive of their
practical uses in the arts.
Let me here say by way of just credit
that, aside from the collections and
preparations Assistant Superintendent
G. l.. Smith and | have been making,
Miss Adelaide Stebbins, of Rochester,
assigned the craftsmanship of the agri-
cultural and forestry collections under
the woman's auxiliary, is doing eff
ficient work for US, indicating artistic
taste in her selections and arrange
ments. Credit is also due lunbermen,
superintendent of our state institu-
tons, railroad officials, mayors of cities,
and others equally earnest, for their CO.
operation, especially for supplying me
with valuable data in making up
my handbook for the worlds
fair, entitled minnesota and Its
Flora" This pamphlet, though largely
statistical, is instructive relative to
our native and planted forests, their eff
fleets upon climate. water economy and
their many dependent industries. 1t is
partly historic. crediting what our leg
islature has done for forestry, and the
helpfuinesS on this line of the horti-
cultural society and the agricultural.

PERHAPS.
To q Former Sweetheart


After your mothers last "good night
And her last kiss upon the stair,
And when beneath the Pickering light
You bow your giddy head in prayer;
When all is silent in the town,
And every thought of care has fled,
When you let your tresSeS down.
And peer in fright beneath your bed;
When teeming brains have ceased to whirl,
And cen maternal eyes are winking,
| wonder, Fan, my darling girl,
wonder what on earth you're thinking!
Who knows? Perhaps of wond'rous bonnets
Just suited TO your saucy head,
of novels, cookery books and sonnets,
OF torments and your brother Ted;
Perhaps of the mountains over there,
Whose rugged bToWs are strangely steepled
And perhaps of castles in the air.
With lovers and with bonbons peopled;
Perhaps of the thrilling real romance
That Annie WHISPERED over tea,
Perhaps OF your last new song or dance,
Of nothing perhaps-perhaps of me.

In the middle ages people were hard
ened in soul by the harsh conditions of
life, and. hence, when they undertook
to alarm sinners with an appeal to the
sutferings of hell, they had recourse to
descriptions and imagery which are re-
puISive to us, but are needful to them.
Nowadays we are people of nervous,
morbid SeaSabilitY; we endure no pain;
we go to other extremes, and we would
compel the OmnipOtent to hbe as we
WeaklingS are, and to change His whole
universe and the revelations of His di-
vine plan in order TO meet our own
small views.
We must guard against that appre-
hension of hell which allays all fears in
the sinner. We need to keep i'll mind
the languages of the Scriptures. Figu-
rative as it may be, it conveys a fearful
idea of suffering. In hell There is
weeping and crashing of teeth"
Every one shall be sailed with fire."
"Hell is the pool of fire burning with
rated forever from God. Say what we
stantial truth appalls.
st. George MiVart.
An article by learned English Cath
Ollie writer on "Happlness i'll He'll" has
gone lately the rounds of reviews and
papers. What does it mean? First,
the title is misleading, and is not the
one chosen by the writer himself. The
title, as he had wished it. is The Hap
piness in Hell'-the happiness, If, in
any degree, amid sufferingS. Next, by
the word hell, Mr.. Mivart includes the
abode of children dying without bap-
tism, as well as that of souls damned
for personal sins. OF this latter abode
do we treat when we speak of hell.
Writing of hell, in this meaning, he
eliminates to good purpose. many re-
pulsive popular notions, as we have
done ourselves this evening. And then,
he puts forward, in a more or less
tentative manner, the ideas that as
time goes on the pain Of sense in the
damned may in some degree diminish,
that they do not ceaSeleSSly and neces-
sarily hate God and commit new sins,
that amid the torments of their state
they may. by divine permission,
have some rays of joy, some crumbs of
comfort, and that their existence, such
as it is, is considered by them prefer
able to non-existence. Mr.. Mivart in
those ideas goes somewhat against the
teachings of the greater number of
theologianS and doctors of the church,
but not against the universal teaching.
There are theologians here and there
believing that such ideas may be enter

There is a we'll known legal maxim
which says that "when the defense has

This may divert attention from the Grim

whoever he may be, writing over the

quarter with abuse Of everybody who
says or thinks that the County school

The most disagreeable and worthless
element of society to be found in a com
munity is composed Of the "rule or ruin"
caste. They are individuals, who,
through their ~oficiousness, have render
ed themselves unpopular, and because
others do not fall into their narrow
channels Of thought, they, in turn, OPP
pose every move and measure in which
they are not consulted and made the
leading spirits. They are ~coaceited,
despotic and parmmonious, contribute
very little Except III advice) TO public
enterprise, find fault with those who do,
and in their self-constituted authority
upon matters IN which only their CO
lossal ignorance would attract attention,
they pose as models Of propriaty re-
ieoting the three human graces crowned
with the wisdom Of Solomon. Nearly
every city and town Is infested with
these social PARISHES. Wonder if Silver
City has emf
