THE GREAT RUNTING uATCE

THE GREAT BUNTING MATCH.
 It Is said of Senator Hill that when he was boy he could bunt hole through Q door panel, and he is known ss an unusu- ally hard headed man. President Cleve- land is also famous for the hardness of his head. He has bunted many 8 hole through the Democratic party, and he had gained such confidence in his bunting power that he recently attempted to bunt a hole through the Spirit of Seventy Six, and at the same time bunt deposed quesn back on to her throLe. He failed, but there Is no indication that the effort made much impression on his head.
 celebrated bunters with Supreme court judgeship as the stake is proceeding mer- rily, with the President getting the worst of it 30 far. Two rounds have been bunted, and in both of them has the bunt- ing power of Hill showed itself to be superior to that of the president. The contest has been a scientific one, and hes been carried on according to the strictest rules of bunting. The people of the coun- try have watched the mill with a great deal of interest, though they have felt that the election of judge of the Supreme court of the United States shouldn't de pend upon superiority in bunting. But fight is a fight, and most people will stop to look at even a dog fight. So the news from the bunting ring at Washington has been eagerly watched for, and the two great factions of I's and Democrats have waxed warm over the movements of their pets.
 What will the hard headed presidential bunter do nexts Will he fail to toe the scratch when time Is called for the next rounda Hardly. He has a reputation to maintain, and he cannot afford to acknowl- edge that te has been completely bunted out. So we expect to see tim come up in as good condition as possible for the next set-to. It is not to be expected that either he or the other great bunter will withdraw now and allow a judge of the Supreme court of the United States to be chosen in any other way than by bunting.

 Written for the JOURNAL AND CoURIER.l "wITH SCRIP AND STAFF AND scALLoP
 SHE'LL"
 The "Women's Rest Tour Assc citation :" like many other organizations of practi- cal and helpful nature, had It's origin, and has still it's official abode, in that city so famed for ingenious devices of all sorts, the "Hub of the Universe"
 With many people, travel in our own country, or in Europe, or both, Is the dream Of a lifetime. Only 8 dream, un- fortunately, a fading hope, baseless fabric that slowly crumbles ss the years slip by. Lack of money and of oppor- tunity, home cares, business interests-all things seem to combine to keep in one mar TOW rut many a soul that huDgers and thirsts for the Yosemite, or Rome, or the Nile. The longing may be resolutely put away, but 1t returns again and again, 8 genuine need, a persistent and haunting aspiration, that dies out sometimes only with life itself. No doubt many hedged in spirit has thought of heaven as place from whence birds eye views of this
  veniently taken. If it Is the place where aspirations unrealizsd here shall be fully satisfied, why may not all those to whom earthly life has been @ dull, monotonus round, range themselves along heavens battlemsnts and with quickened vision be- hold the cities, csthedrals, mountains and rivers of the planet they have quitteds
 However, 1t seems @ pity that one must go to Heaven to learn geography; to see that world they longed to zee when strait ly shut up in Jonesville, or Sandy Hollow, or Stony Lonesome. One certainly would not enjoy the celestial less for having had this heart-hunger appeased at Niagara or Yellowstone Park, or in the land of the Midnight Sun. Said dear girl, in one of the last days of a sweet, brave life, "I think shall be glad in Heaven that went to Lake George" Are there not many who can understand the feeling that that which has been so satisfying, go delightful here, is not to be forgotten hereafter; that happy memories go with us and are 2 ever plotted out even amid the fallness and glorious ness of life psrfecteda This may not be the l orthodox way of looking at the matter, nevertheless 1t is the way in which many people will continue to look.
 This Rest Tour Association, of Boston, as aforesaid, was invented and has been kept in operation for the express purpose of taking people up out of Sandry Hollow and setting them down by the Pyramids, or in Westminster Abbey, or wherever they wanted to go. It is in no sense 6 charitable institution but one of common interest and co operation. Mrs. Julis Ward Howe and Mrs. James T. Fields art among It's officers, Mrs. J. Montgomery Sears is one Of its life members.

RIG HEADS. RIG FEET.

It has been and Is thought by many of the inhabitants of this world that small feet are pretty things for women to have. The Chinese, who have been in existence for several thousands of years and there fore ought to know something about what is pretty, think 80 much of small feet for women that they make tEem email by long and painful process. The poets, who aye gifted with true perception and supe- rior appreciation of beauty, have made much of the small feet of women. Such feet have bsen described as snails creeping a little out, and then, as if they played at bo-peep, drawing in again; or as little mice creeping in and out beneath petit coat as If they feared the light. Other such feet have been spoken of as 80 light that their treeding would not bend blade of grass, or shake the downy blowball from his stalk. And male lovers, who gre really poets when they are sufficiently in love. have worahipped feet that were even only size smaller than their own, and have begged for old slippers or old rubbers that have hsply and happily covered them.
 Women in civilized countries we'll un. derstand the charm, the romance and the poetry of small feet. So they either have them, or small shoes, or both. And as their feet or their shoes are hardly ever small enough they put the heels of their shoes at the middle of them to make them look smaller. But some discoveries have To hoay, rpo1o kha+ oe the women of this country which indicate that there will soon be insurmountable difficulty in making them look email. It appears that the feet of American women are increasing in size and keeping pace with their heads, ss it were. Honest shos- dealers are confessing that they are mark ing women's shoes sizs or two smaller than they really ought to be marked, 50 as to keep from the women the knowledge that their feet are growing. And honest bosiers also say that the feet of American women are larger than they once were. Thrte dc zsn pairs of women's hose used to be st orted as to sizes in this fashion: Six pairs number 8; six, number s4; twelve, number 9; six, number 9A; six, number 10. The number 8s have now disappeared from among women's sizes, and the number of larger sizes in three dozen pairs of hose has increased.
 Such testimony as this cannot be upset. And when one thinks over what has hap. penei it seems entirely fitting that the feet of American women should become
 bigger. Nature Is simply trying to main
 tain due proportion between their heads
 and feet. Their heads and their theatre
 bats grow bigger every year. Why | shouldn't their feet and their stockings
 and shoes do likewisea If 1t is found that
 we can't get along without small feet on | women we must do as the Chinese do,
 make them to order.

FASHION NOTES.
Receiving ShowiIy.

Picturesque effects are indulged in to an almost comic opera extent by even the best dressed people. At very swell after noon one of the lovely girls who assisted the matron to receive wore black velvet skirt, made quite simply to clear the floor and to set out well in the back. W ith this she wore @ square necked bit of bodice, with deep revers turned away from the square neck and with enormous double puffsd sleeves, made with plain sleeve that was tight to the wrist, but which was slit from the start of the puff to the wrist and hung back, show ing rich facing. The bodice was made of pale green figured silk, the figuring be-

dor-like, especially when the finishing touch of scarlet slippers with gold tips and gold embroidered scarlet stockings were worn, but the girl wore the rig with an air of confidence that made one accept 1t, and she certainly looked picture.
 It is another picturesque dress which is sketched, one intended for evening wear and made of heavy brocaded heliotrope satin. The skirt Is plain in front, but hangs in deep pleats at the back and is garnished at the bottom with c small frill of plain lavender satin. The bodice is of the brocaded satin, Is pointed back and front and is tight fitting. It is cut square in the front and back and filled in with c straight piece of the lavender satin. The sleeves are very wide balloon composed of lavender satin with stiff epaulettes of the same and garnished with q row of jet passementerie. The front of the bodice is alec garnished with ecru lace which hangs in deep gathers. FLoRETTE.
