ponderance ill favor of those which fol low the lines of the figure As regards trimmings, they have become much simpler of late Three rows of any sort of ornament are rarely seen, and the line round the hips, which was so dis figuring to even the best figures, seems to have totally disappeared. The trim ming most ill vogue consists of a band bordering the skirt, sometimes headed with elaborate braiding, but moro often with single line of some handsome paSSementeric.
 Nor is there so much multiplicity of ornament on the bodices as of late. With a collar and rcvers turned back from a vest ill front, the whole is said. Sleeves are still much too large, esthetically speaking.
 Blouses are more popular than ever and indeed are the most comfortable garment for street or house wear. The blouse today is very different from what it was yesterday.

Stop Biting Thread.

Ladies who do much sewing frequent ly suffer a great deal from soreness of the mouth and are at loss to ascertain the cause of the trouble. Half the time it is simply the result of Siting off thread instead of using pair of shears for cutting. In the case of silk thread the danger is quite marked, because it is usual to soak the thread in acetate of lead, partly to harden it and also per haps to increase its weight somewhat. If this practice is followed regularly and very much silk thread is used, the re- suit may be quite serious and even lead to blood poisoning.

 And now as the night drew on apace and the cold rain steadily beat down upon the battlefield parties of men went forth in search of the wounded. They cared not for the dead. At the front there is but little sentiment or sympa- thy for the wounded. They are cared for because many of them will recover to fight in some other battle. They were found ill the open fields, in the fulrOws half full of water, in the deeper ditches skirting the forest, among the trees and bushes dripping with the rainfall. Some cried out in the darkness with the broken voices of lost children others prayed or cursed or wept And here and there. with their faces buried in the grass or dirt or with faces upturned to the sky of night and eyes half open, were dead men, a thousand or more. The morrow would do for them. The dead of battlefield ask nothing. The living give them a covering of a few inches of blood soaked soil, and give that Srudgingly.

 It is difficult thus early in the season to foreten with accuracy the fashions likely to become permanent. Neverthc- less certain indications are not wanting The fact that all the shopkeepers have been selling off so largely articles that apparently were in the very van of the present modes indicates that radical changes may be expected Were it prof itable that the same fashions would con tinue for some time, handsome gowns coats, jackets and hats would not have been procurable at such low prices as of late. There is no sign of aggression on the part of the crinoline, and fortunate ly the indications are all the other way The stiffened skirts of last season are now ill very small minority. For the most part, skirts, though full, hang in natural folds toward the feet, and were fashions to be decided by the votes of the majority of those who adopt them there would certainly be large pre-

 How kin I tlatten him out?" she asked, ready to begin work at once.
 Ike slowly lighted his pipe and sat down on the doorstep and made room for her beside him. He kept her wait ing for another minute and then unfold ed his plan. She listened patiently until he was through and then pointed out the obstacles here and there. He re- viewed the case and explained how ev- erything was to be overcome. Although an ignorant woman, she had a good deal of natural shrewdness in her con- position, and after the plan had been gone over in detail for the third or fourth time she said:

satisfaction and distrust prevails among
the masses of our peOple9 Is 1t not because
they do not justly share, or think they do
not justly share, in the division OF what
their hands have earnedP This feeling Is
extensive and reaches among all classes Of
lAboring people. Suffering as they think
they do common wrong, it Is natural
that they should become bound together
by common sympathy; hence the forma-
tion Of labor unions. We saw 1t manifest
cd in the recent strike, where in sympathy
with one class of laborers who thought
themselves oppressed, and who struck for
better conditions, other classes in no way
connected with them struck also.
Various schemes have been suggested to
reconcile this controversy between en-
ployers and employees, such as arbitration
and the control by the government Of the
great corporations Of public character
I do not intend to discuss these schemes
or attempt to point out their inadequacy
TO cure existing troubles. They are sub
jeot to many objections and at best do
not 60 to the root of the evil or the cause
Of the trouble which many think make ar.
bitrati0n or governmental control neces-
sary. To remove the cause of discomfort
and suffering among the laboring masses
and bring them into harmonious relations
with their employers is the great object to
be attained. How can this be doneH We
must first ascertain the cause Of the trou-
Bile before attempting to remove 1t.
What is the underlying cause Of the
discomfort of the laboring olassesS Is 1t
not the poverty and want they suffer by
Teason Of the inadequacy Of the pay they
receive for che labor givenl They see
around them, In the possession Of favored
corporations and the pampered few, all

anulated wealth can bestow, while they

given right, to live. Is 1t any wonder

CREATURES Or CORPORATIONS
ARE THE TWO OLD PARTIES OF
THE COUNTRY.
Address Of Lyman Trumbull, the Ven
erable Statesman, at POpulist
Meeting In Chicago,
October 8.

The following Is the full speech OF the
venerable Judge Lyman Trumbull at the
recent meeting in Chicago:
In addressing you do not do so with
the expectation Of being able to propose q
plan for securing to capital and labor tho
just rewards of each aud to employers and
employees the adjustment Of disputes that
will be satisfactory to both, but rather
with the hope of making some sugges-
tions that may tend to avert the conflict
between the rights of man and the rights
of property which now threatens the peace
of the country.
Most Of the years of my manhood have
been devoted to the public service, with
what success or failure is for my country
men to Judge The record is made up, and
now near the close of life, with no ambi-
tions to crafty and no purpose to serve
other than my country's good, come be-
fore you briefly to discuss the great prob
lem Of the age, how to secure to labor it's
just reward and thereby to the masses the
right to live and advance.
In this land of plenty, the fairest Of
earth, with soil and climate adapted to
supply the wants of man, under a free and
enlightened government, where every man
Is supposed to he the architect OF his own
fortune and entitled to an equal start In
the world, why Is 1t that q feeling Of dis
