now no An1elIr FROM A CARRIAGE.

Not one woman i'll ten knows how to
get out of n carriage or cab prettily.
Here is the why: First your hosiery
must be Just right, the black silken
web fitting snugly and without
wrinkles about the ankle, and the
shoe must be trim and pretty. Grasp
the dress lightly Mt about the knee,
stnnd steadily on the right foot. Point
tho left foot sharply, bend the left
knee, letting the weight of the BODY
steadily down thus toward tho street
level, the prettily pointed toe and
trim ankle being dnintily in evidence.
Directly the left toe touches the ground
let it take the weight of the body
with pretty springiness. All tho
beauty of the move depends on the
right foot and tho pretty pointing of
the left foot. If you need steadying,
YOU mny grasp the inside of tho car
rinsc with the hand nearest. The
usual way of alighting from the car
ricge is to cxtsnd II fiat foot and come
down on it, while the grip on the side
OF the carriage is 80 tight TINT the
whole body is swung around awkward
~. Watch the women and see, even
those with pretty feet, and this, too,
when there is really no time at which
IL wolnan's feet, trim ankles and pretty
carriage of herself mny be more charm
nsly shown aud more legitimatcly
when she is aiighting in full view of
the passing world. Free

|, One of the anomalies of the times.
observes the New York News, is the
fact that while the price of wheat is
lower than ever before, i'll this coun.
try, it is not low enough to export i'll
competition with other countries.
This is because of the vast qantitics of
wheat available for export in Russia,
lndi" and the Argentine Republic.
These countries can deliver their
products III the great markets of Great
Britain and Western Europe at prices
considerably lower than our exporters
can offer. The immense surplus OF
wheat means cheap bread, for many
months ut least, throughout the world.

WEATHER Is FASHIONABLE.

Stunning street gowns have leather
bodices which are made in round
waist fashion, with n frill of bias cloth
rdded. The skirt of the gown is
gored closely about the waist, that it
may not interfere with the ..ulncss of
the bodice frill. At the foot there are
three tiny frills of leather set on n
deep fncing of the same that finishes
the inside and outside edge of the
skirt. The bodice has cuffs and collar
OF cloth to match the skirt Snch n
dress is, of course, worn without outer
cloak. Very heavy leather is often
employed with good effect, though the
observer is forced to wonder if such
requires the services of shoemaker.
a more fitting taste employs undressed
kid or channels, and in all cases the
leather or kid exactly matches the
cloth used in combination. Chamois
is especially suited to this use, and is
beautiful in deep shades of red, green
and purple. The kid or skin is
mounted on fitting lining of silk,
and when properly made has only sid
and shoulder seams, being stretched
to the figure. Great care must be
taken to avoid the bad taste of sug-
costing trunk trimmings, the constant
effort being that the leather, kid or
chamois shall only betray itself rs
such by the elegant appearance of the
gown and the absolutely faultIess
modelling to the figure. The advan
tnge of the leather finish about the
foot of the skirt need not be pointed
out. New York Advertiser.

a Lesson in Morals.
lAtlinta Constitution.

A small daily newspaper in Viz
glnla promises its readers that it
will publish as little az possible
about the Pollard Breckenridge
case.
This is a great mistake. The
trial is a lesson in morals, and 1t
is OF incalculable educational
value. No matter what the yer.
dict may be, this case will be a
warning to wealthy and prominent
men who have heretofore been
under the Impression that they
could lead double lives and escape
the penalty. If Congressman
Breckenridge, the sllver-toDgued
orator, the pride of Kentucky, a
pillar of his church, and a favOrte
Young Mems Christian Associa'
ton lecturer on social parity and
kindred subjects, must answer to
society for his gross immortality,
his betrayal of a friendless girl,
and the fraud he practictd upon
respectable ladies in persuaGiDg
them to chaperone Miss Pollard,
1t goes without saying, that other
men OF high social position will be
held to an equally strict account
when they transgreSS IN the same
way.
The woman's story is another
lesson to women and young girls
1t shows that the wages of SIN is
death; that discovery always
comes, and that the result is
disgrace aud never.ending
misery.
The vide publication Of the
proceedings of this trial will do
more good than ahundred sermons.
1T Will convince both old and
young readers that a moral life is
the first requisite OF safety, happi'
ness, honor and prosperity. The
prurient features of the case will
be forgotten because they are
overshadowed by It's almost tragic
interest. 1t is far better tor
young and oil to know how such
intrlgues turn out than to allow
them to believe that men of high
6 tation may sin without punish
ment, and that reckless young
girls may indulge in forbidden
pleasures without wrecklug their
lives.
The Pollard Breckenridge trial
is n great moral object lesson, and
whle it ruins two persons, 1t will
probably save thousands.

NOW READY,
The New Tariff Bill as Agreed
Upon.


Washington D. c., March 20.-
The Tariff bill in it's latest printed
shape, as changed by the Demo
cratic majority of the Senate
Finance COMMITTEE, was LAID be-
fore full committee this morning.
Among the changes are these:
Duty on collars and cuffs in.
creased from 45 per cent, to 90 per
cent. ad valorem. The only adj
ditlons to the free list are horn
strips and tips and cocOanuts.
Section 1Oj, which provides that
the President shall notify the
Hawaiian government of the inten'
ton of this government to abro-
gate the treaty of 1915, has been
stricken out. The clause OF the
section repeating that part OF the
Mckinley act providing for the
reciprocal treaties has been amend
ed and reads as follows: That
sections 8, 10 and 16 of act, etc.,
proclaimed between the United
States and foreign governments
under the provision ofsaid sections
are hereby abrogated, of which
President shall give such notice
to the authorities of said foreign
governments as may be required
by the terms of such agreements or
arrangements. The most lmpor-
tant change in the administrative
features Of the bill is the action OF
the committee in striking out the
words, "Highest duty" as fOnnd in
the House bill and regulating the
rates OF duty on all goods coming
10 under the slmllitude clause aud
substituting therefor the words
Lowest duty" This was the sub
iect Of the long argument IN full
com mittee, in which Secretary
Carlisle endorsed the provisions OF
the House bill. The committee
therefore, has made the change
and all goods unenumerated or
coming in under the simllitude
clause will pay the highest instead
of the lowest rate OF duty. The
sugar schedule is at follows: All
sugars testing not above so de.
grees, one cent, from so to 90 de
grees one one.hundredth of cent
for each degree, from 90 to 9S, two
one. huudredths Of a cent for each
degree. All sugars testing above
% or aboye No. 1G, Dutch stan
dard, in color, one eighth Of a
cent per pound in addition to tue
duty on sugar testing above %
degrees. Whiskey, iron ore, coal,
lead ore, opium unchanged.
There has been added to the free.
list pineapples, bananas, cOcoanuts,
horn strips and tips. No articles
have been taken from the free
list.

demands however whimsical they
may appear TO be.
The idea that any man can be a
good farmer, is no uearer the truth
than the statement that any man
can be good merchant, a good
lawyer, or a good physician. A
good and a successful farmer is one
who thinks, one who labors i'll
dustriousIy and whose labor is dl-
rected by intelligent thought. The
man VINO attempts 10 run a farm
without thought would succeed no
better than the lawyer who, with
out thought, would attempt to con-
duct a holly contested suit. Ex-
perlments sometimes fail, bnt
you had better tail sometimes than
not to have the valuable experience
that can only be secured by ex-
periments of your own. The farmer
can not blindly follow the advice
of others. The OPINIONS of Others
are worthy of consideration, and he
frequently profits by attending to
Suggestions, without regard to the
source from which they come, but
if he would succeed, he must think
tor himself, he must plan for him
self, and having after mature and
intelligent deliberatIon formed his
plans, his success will depend upon
his tact, energy, and industry.

The Virginia Coupon Decision.

The Virginia Coupon Decision.
The Richmond Times saws the
decision Of the Supreme Court oil
Appeals of Virginia on Thursday,
it is believed, will finally enl all
litigation growing out of the fund
ing. bill contract to receive coupons
IN payment of taxes and makes the
recent settlement of the public
debt complete. A small part OF

to accept the settlement, bat to
