DRIFTING TO DEFEAT.
The Certain Downfall ot the Di cordant
 Democracy.

The Certain Downfall ot the Di cordant
 Democracy.
 "The one point on which all critics agree," mourpfully observes one of the principal administration organs, lis that the democratic party is drifting to certain defeat" This candid adrdis- sion is the basis of solemn warning to the leaders that they must soon show a better order of statesmanship or all chance of success either this year or two years hence will be miserably
 ost The party is really in .eondi- Lion of chaos, so far as relates 10 all important questions and purposes. A process of disorganization is at work which means that nothing but mis- fortune is to be expected. "It the country has changed its mind, ,~S"this disturbed organ goes on to say, about the principles enunciated in .tbe-Chi- cago platform, the party cannot do much better than wait till the logic of events has demonstrated their sound ness" But if it waits, it is as sure to be beaten as if it plunges ahead It has given promises that it must at least make an effort to keep; it has en- tered upon a policy which it must carry out, or confess itself an organized fraud The situation could not easily be worse, all things considered. There is a lack of harmony on every pending issue, and nobody seems to know how the many differences of opinion and preferences are to be adjusted; or what is likely to be the final result of all the wrangling.
 It is impossible to see how party thus divided against itself can get itself together in any practical and effective sense. The causes of conflict are not accidental or superfcial; they pertain to matters of fundamental importance for the most part. There are various factions that are even more antag- onistic to each other than they are to the republicans. These inharmonious elements cannot be united upon any basis broad enough to accommodate so many opposing views and prejudices. Each one has it's pet desires and its fa- vorite aversions, which it is not at all inclined to surrender or to modify for the sake of peace. This has been ap- parent ever since the beginning of the present administration, and the fact becomes more proiiounced every day. It is allnyery we'll to say that it is the duty of all members of a. party to sub ordinate special wishes and sentiments to the demands of general necessity and expedience; but there is no way to en- force such doctrine against those who refuse to abide by it. That is why the democratic difficulty is not likely to be settled, but rather to grow more seri- ous as time passes. The conditions are all favorable to continuance of the trouble, us anyone can readily under

The amendment approves of a duty of z cents per pound of wool of the first class, s cents on second, fourth and third class worth 9 cents, and ! cents on third class exceeding 9 cents in value. This is reduction of about one-third from the Mckinley bill rates.

sends up it's initial four trim, pretty, light green leaves. When once these are thriftily growing you may be all most sure of your plant,
 like to SOW the seed in boxes in the house. it is so very interesting to watch them grow. It takes such very little time for the seeds to poke their little green promise above the soil, and so very soon the smiling blooms appear It is a good plant for the amateur to begin with, being such slight tax on the patience, as few plants admit. When your tiny plants are two inches high transplant into thumbs and pinch out the top Going on with the growth, continue the shifting and pinching processes until they are in four-inch pots, then desist; you will have finely rounded compact little plants which will soon be perfect little pyramids of fragrant blooms.
 A convenient and effective way of growing the alyssum is to sow the seed directly in long narrow boxes fitted to the window sill and about four inches deep. Its needs, grown thus, will be light, moisture, not too hot sunshine, very occasionally weak liquid manure and-room to spread it. self. Given these, it will more than reward you for your care of it by send ing out, surprisingly soon, munif- cence of dainty bloom, small and shyly at first, as though half afraid of it's first impression upon you, but waxing stronger and stronger, and sweeter and sweeter, until you grow to love it in the heartwhole way it's winsome- ness deserves. The seed may be sown directly in the border where it is to bloom or it may be transplanted with perfect ease. Sown thickly, it makes a beautiful edging plant or distinct line in a ribbon bed. But do not let it grow too rankly, keep it trimmed and pinched in, and in place, and If after awhile it is going too much to seed shear it back sharply. It will then spring up to a fresh growth and be all the lovelier for the seemingly rough treatment. Then in the autumn you will find around the larger plants the tiny four-leaved ones springing up which are just what you want in quan- tity for your window garden. A pretty . effect is produced by growing the alyssum in clumps between taller plants It will spread itself out like an oval mat and be mass of bloom.
 Sweet alyssum makes beautiful bracket plant. It should then be pinched in less, rather allowed to grow in it's natural wayward beauty, and though the branches attain no great length it is pretty in such position.

DO NOT GROW OLD.
Hints to Ladies Who's. Years May Soon
 Become a Burden.

Hints to Ladies Who's. Years May Soon Become n Burden.
 In Paris elderly ladies are now wear ing almost exclusively velvet dresses, 1 trimmed with costly lace, disposed in basques, collars and sleeve sabots or frills, says the New York Tribune. This combination is extremely becom- ing and stately.
 A woman is never old enough to neglect her appearance. Nothing can be more disagreeable to the sight than a negligee old lady.
 Unfortunately, one often sees one with the hair dragged in the most un- compromising fashion away from the face, brushed close to the head and fastened under the cap in little knot about the size of walnut at the back, no further attempt at any arrange ment of the coifPure being made; and this carelessness results in dreadfully bald appearance, as the spaces between hair and ears and hair and neck are thereby rendered conspicuously promi- nent.
 Moreover, mary dear old danes fail to realize that at their time of life the neck should be as little exposed as pos sible, for it is only too frequently brown and wrinkled. It would be easy to dispose q little lace about it in order to conceal the scraggy neck revealed with too scrupulous honesty.
 It may be added that women over forty should carefully avoid becoming too stout, misfortune brought about generally by self-indulgence in the pleasures of the table, in afternoon maps, and in lazy neglect of daily ex- ercise.
 Avoid candies. Never eat pastry or buttered toast. Prefer biscuits or dry toast to bread whenever possible.
 Drink as little as possible. Accus- tom yourself to taking tea or coffee without sugar. Never touch jam, and If you cannot do without butter spread it as sparingly as possible.
 Lemonade, if made from fresh lem ons, is good for the health, and tends to reduce flesh.
 Growing old is always, of cou, SC, little tragic, especially if woman re- main young and fresh in mind. But she need not grow fat, coarse and ruddy as well as old.

 Ing the Plant

Could have but one plant either for the border or the window garden it should be that dainty, honey-scented little darling, sweet alyssum, says Dart Fairthorn in Vick's Magazine. Small of growth and bloom, by those who never see beauty except in dazzle it might be considered insignificant but to the real flower-lover who will not be entirely given over to scarlet ger aniums and hollyhocks it possesses a beauty all it's own. There is such q distinct individuality about it's dainty blossoms. such an air of good cheer and comfortable adaptability to cir cumstances-entirely borne out, too, by it's life-such winsome sprightli- ness and altogether lovableness that it always reminds me of bright-faced children whenever see it.
 It is the laugh of the flowers. Some of them preach and some of them pray, but the sweet alyssum laughs right out loud" The whole border may preach, the lilies droop their lovely heads, like penitents in prayer" the SuAAuo Ailb biSh oiiO"g ShoiANN' All AAAu " protest against the whole worlds wickedness and the impurity of earth generally; but the sweet little alyssum nothing daunted by the sermonizing of statelier flowers-will run riot over the ground, screening it's impurities from sight, filling in chinks with it's beauty, caressing the feet of roses and rue alike, and seeming to my errant fancy to be keeping up running ac- compartment of cheerful comment or an undercurrent of perpetual merri- ment all the while. Like childhood it is irrepressible.
 The seed of the sweet alyssum, not so fine as to be difficult to manage, is flat and round, of light brown or tan color, and stored full of vitality Plant twenty-five of them in a fine sandy loam, and with ordinary treatment you may be reasonably sure of Rs many plants, each one of which will De of interest from the first moment it
