Painting With Tapestry DYES.

The manner of painting upon silk or

the design through sheet of perforated
manila paper. The poencing bag is
filled half with powdered charcoal. half
with burnt sienna, care being taken not
to use so much as to stain or blur the
background. AS in all such processes,
delicate manipulation is needful. Next
the outline must be traced in local color

Beauty From a Papar Toy

For the woman who wants to fill out
the hollows of her face and neck, and
wants pink cheeks. good idea is to buy
some of these pretty paper fishes or odd
shaped little paper bags to be found in
the Japanese shops. II woman will
spend five minutes day putting at one
of these she will find fer face filing out,
and the air which will be driven in and
out OF her lungs will increase the height
OF her chest and set the blood in circula-
ton through the cheeks. 1t will not he
so pink as the kind that is bought i'm the
drug stores, but the woman will be sur
prlsed i'll six months at the change in

The Presidents Message.

The President appears to have modi-
fed his views regarding the necessity
for Tariff Reform" i" though he is still
as ardent Free-Trader as ever and
again expresses his belief III free coal,
free iron and free ships, though not
ordering Congress to revise the Tariff to
that extent. Perhaps he realizes that
it would be useless to do so. We can
hardly grasp the intense mildness of
Mr.. Cleveland's most recent reference
to 'Tarif Reform" when we recollect,
as he wrote to Mr.. Wilson only five
months ago, on July ., that:
My public life has been SO closely
related to the subject, | have So longed
for its accomplishment, and 7 have so
often promised its realization to my
fellow cOuntrymen as a result of their
trust and confidence in the Democratic
party.
The extreme unselfishness of the
President would be very commendable
did he not appreciate THAT in present
conditions this is delicate subject"
which must be touched gently with kid
clad fingers. But what of "the Democ-
racy of the land" that "plead most
earnestly" for the salvation of Demo-
cratic principles? Is there no true
Democracy left in the land? This faint
echo for free coal, free iron and free
ships does not "bear genuine
Democratic badge" The lesson of last
months elections seems at last to have
clearly shown the President that "there
is no excuse for mistaking or misappre-
hending the feeling and temper of the
lank and file of the Democracy" The
people have no desire for "a Tariff
built upon theory They want
Tariff built upon uhe condition-the
condition of 1892. There will be no
Tariff legislation ir the direction of free
coal, free iron or free ships. But there
should be Protection given to wool.
MIR. Cleveland "gave us rallying cry
in our day of triumph" Now he gives
us but a faint toot. and it comes from
the wrong end of the horn. Tariff
Reform is dead. Free-Trade is dead.
The President knows it. He has
learned his "object lesson"
