The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-01-18

The legislature of 1886 made an enactment
providing for q state reformatory for male
criminals between the ages of 16 and 49,
Propositions came from several cities of the
state for the location of this institution, and
the commission appointed to locate the same
made Hutchinson their selection, and q struct-
ure there exists In an unfinished condition al
though e260,O00 has been expended In its
erection.
There can be no question as to the wisdom of
establishing such Institutions when the flnan-
cal resources Of q state are sufficient to Justify
the cost Of erection and maintenance. If in
your judgment the time Is ripe for such an in
stitution In Kansas, an appropriation should
be made sufficient for the completion and occu-
panoy Of the present buildings.

Frencl, Imitation Pearls.

The best grade of French imitation
pearls cannot be distinguished from real
ones, even by the most expert jewellers,
unless the string is handled, when the
difference in weight becomes apparent,
the real pearl being heavier than an imi-
tation one.
An American lady who herself owned
valuable jewels once told me that she
and her husband were shown on one oc-
casion by her Partisan jeweler cluster
Of strings Of pearls, half Of which were
real and the other half imitation, and
they were requested to point out the
real ones. They both inspected the
pearls long and with the most minute
care, and finally indicated their choice.
The gentleman had indeed fixed upon q
string of genuine ones, but the Lady,
though she continually wore and had
had in her possession for years mag.
nificent necklace of real pearls, forfeited
her claim for discrimination by picking
out one of the imitation ones.
The very finest Of the French imita-
ton pearls are expensive, costing from
SO to SIS string Oddly enough, the
longer they are kept the better they be-
come, as the passage Of years lends 9
yellow tinge to the wax, which causes
the pearls to look at once more lustrous
and more real. The pearls prepared fol
embroideries, dress trimmings, ETC., are
merely small beads filed with wax and
lack the careful shaping, as well as the

At a dinner some time ago a.joIly old
astronomer related the following story
about departed friend, Mr.. f.:
Mr.. F. was such a good natured man
that the approach of death itself could
not disturb his peace OF mind and ap-
probation of humor. He lay dying, and
his poor wife was nearly worn out with
anxious watching. She was SO tired that
by mistake she gave her husband instead
Of the doctors medicine dose from the
castor oil bottle. When she discovered
her mistake, she was almost frantic. She
summoned the doctor at once and await
ed his coming with fearful eyes and bit
ter self reproach. The doctor came and
assured her that no particular harm
could have been done; that her hus-
band was dying, and medicine could not
save him now. Still the poor woman
wept and grieved.
The doctor tried to comfort her, but to
no purpose. If she had only given the
medicine and not the oil. perhaps her
dear husband might have got better.
She had killed her dear husband killed
her dear husband. The doctor began to
argue, when the dying man spoke up:
''Never mind, doctor I've had my oil.
Let her have her blubber. Washing

Fashions Gold Tipped shoes.

In this year Of 1893 gold, yellow, shin
ing, heartless metal, mother Of murders
and temptress to terrible privations, the
yellow root of red evil, holds sway. In
the silver age we had combs and brush
es, buckles, toilet cases, picture frames
and other stuff cleaning with the paler
metal. It wasn't rich enough for the
blood of New York. Gold has not dis
placed it here in the metropolis, but tri-
umphantly haunts itself above it.
A little time ago the satin slipper with
silver flagree toe and heel tip was quite
good enough for any one. But it only
cost from $50 to $40. Society insisted
on something more expensive, and now
New York's swell set rest satisfied as
they poke their gold tipped toes from
beneath Worth afternoon creations" f"
The gold tipped shoes are only for house
wear. You don't see 'em on Broadway.
Their use is to make poor callers envi-
GUS, than which there can be no greater
happiness.
This is but one instance. The men are
as bad or worse, for a pair Of gold tipped
shoes at $3.50 are at least visible, and q
pair Of $75 gold suspender buckles
haven't even that merit. The only use
for them is to show that one can stand
the pace.
The extravaganza of wealthy people
in small personal expenditures has grown
out of all proportion. Trihes and trink-
cts cost fortunes. good pictures by Amer
ican artists go begging. and authors Of
good books trim their euffs.-New York

Friends Of the measure, the women
particularly, are arranging their forces
for a thorough canvassing of the state
with able workers and speakers. The
plan is to organize every county and ap-
point meetings for every schoolhouse in
the state.
Miss Anthony has instructed the wom-
en- to work as they never worked before,
for she fully realizes this Is a critical pc
Rod. The women are to carry pledge
books and enroll the pledge Of every
man they can, ''for," says Miss Anthony,
sit is the men we want this time"
While the amendment is jointly the
work of the Populists and Republicans,
curious enough, as whole, both parties
are shy Of it. The Populists are afraid
of swelling the vote of what has hitherto
been the dominant party, and the Re
publicans, smarting from the defeat and
humiliation of last November, are afraid
Of s'the women in the country" Be
tween the two the measure threatens to
fall to the ground.
Among the various novel methods Of
political warfare is the object lesson de-
signed by Mrs. Henrietta Briggs-Wall OF
Hutchinson, Kan. This is a painting
containing five life size figures and en-
titled "American Woman and Her Po-
htical PEERS"
In the center of the painting, as the
face Of q typical American woman, ap-
pears the face of Frances Willard.
At the upper left hand corner is an i'd
lot; at the right brutal looking con-
vict. The lower left hand corner is
adorned with an Indian in all the brav-
cry Of chiefs dress; at the left is an in
sane man. The picture is to be on exhi-
bition at the Worlds fair in the Kansas
building.
Mrs. Briggs-Wall is most enthusias-
tic worker for equal suffrage and has
had the idea of the picture for several
years, but the difficulty Of getting suit
able subjects for illustration has pre-
vented its execution. She has correi
sponded with prison and reform author
tiles in this country and in England and
found the rules about photographing
convicts or the insane invariably strict
ones.
Finally after stating her plan to Mrs
Fowler, wife Of the famous phrenologist
she succeeded in getting photographs oi
all but the insane subject. That is drawn
from memory. The others are real pho
tographs, that of the convict being 9
composite picture from three negatives
Mrs. Briggs-Wall is confident that the
somewhat startling picture will make
many converts to equal suffrage.
''It strikes the women every time,
said she. "They do not realize that we
are classed with idiots, criminals and The
insane as they do when they see tha
picture. Shocking? Well, it takes /
shock to arouse some people to a sense O.
injustice and degradation"

LOVES SEASON.

In sad sweet days when hectic hushes
Burn red on maple and sumac leaf.
When sorrowful winds vail through the rushes,

To snatch the blossom from Natures breast,
When night forever on day encroaches
Oh, then think that love you bestl
And yet when winter. that. .tyrapt master,
Has buried autumn. .inAwalls OF snow,
And bound and fettefed where bold Frost cast

Lies outraged Nature in helpless woe;
when all earth's pleasures I'm four walls center,
And side by side in the snug home nest.
We list the tempest that cannot enter.
oh, then I say that love you bestl
But later on, when the siren season
Betrays the trust OF the senile king,
And glad earth laughs at the act Of treason,
And winter dies in the arms Of spring;
When buds and birds all push and flutter

And then am certain love you best
But when in splendor the queenly summer
Relgns over the earth and the skies above:
When Nature kneels to the royal conner.
And even the sun flames hot with love;
When pleasure basks In the luscious weather,
And care lies out on the sward to rest
Oh, whether apart or whether together.

A Gown For the Youthful.

Among the many novel ideas of this
summer is a dainty princess gown Of
fiecked cheviot in light weight and in
color a soft fawn with brown spots.
The sleeves are Of just that shade Of
green velvet that seems to have been
made to go with fawn. All around the
top Of the waist are set little bows Of
green velvet ribbon, each having one
long fish tail end hanging loose, and
around the bottom there is a series Of
bows of the same, with two ends apiece,
set SO closely together that it almost
forms tounce. When the wind sets
all these pretty bows a-futter, the effect
would be very attractive. 1t is a gown
for the youthful only.

Notes For the Hayaeld.

When to cut grass varies in the prac-
tice of farmers. A correspondent OF
Massachusetts, Ploughman writes that
he likes to NOW as much Of his grass as
he can from to 6 o'clock in the after
noon. 1t cures much faster the next
day than that which is mown the next
morning when the dew is on. 1t is an
advantage to have the raking all done
before the sun gets low in the western
sky, and it is better to have the hay that
Is ready hauled in before night. Damp
ness gathers upon the hay as soon as the
heat Of the sun is off. This CORE
spondent cuts his timothy quite early on
land that is capable of affording two
crops in one season. The early cutting
he reserves for milk cows and young
stock; the last cutting is devoted to the
horses.
Opinions differ as to the utility of hay
caps, though it is generally conceded
that clover crop is secured in a better
condition when these are employed. One
seldom hears of a farmer throwing them
aside after he has once used them. Good
hay caps are about 6 feet square and
made Of common unbleached muslin.
They will often save their cost in single
season. Dew and rain wash out much
Of the best portion Of the grass after it il
partially cured.
Most farmers, as q rule, prefer to cut
clover when q few Of the heads begin tx
turn brown. In deciding the proper stage

The All the Year Round Bathing club

Of sanitary scientists, though of late
years it seems to have relapsed into a

to say that none but the strongest con-
stitutions are able to comply with the
rules, but sturdy body Of men Of vary

obligations to the letter, and when it
was necessary they would cheerfully
break the ice before entering the river.
