most fitting picture of the feeling of
many time-worn Democrats over the pre-
sent attitude of the Democratic party is
found in letter written by Brooklyn
Democrat to the editor of the World. Here
Is an extract from it,
In regard to your advice not to break
ranks all l have to say is: God bless the
Democratic party; it has given the country
an abundance of poverty, plenty of tariff
reform humbug and any amounnt of hard
knocks. You can rest assured we will re-
ward it for its kindness and benefcence by
giving it long, long rest as soon as we get
a chance. The trouble with the Democratic
party is that it has neither the honesty, 10y
atty, capacity nor backbone to carry out its
principles. 1t is absolutely contemplate.
/ have voted the Democratic ticket ever
since had a vote, and am now pretty
we'll up in years, but, although still be-
lieve in the principles of Democracy, never
theless 1 would not trust the Democratic
party again with one days power. And I
venture to state that but echo the feelings
and sentiments of thousands and thousands
of angry and disgusted Democrats through
out the country.

The Reason

Graduation Dresses.

Tho 'swect simplicity" Of white muslin
Is insisted upon for graduation gowns this
season in many Of the best schools in the
land. All elaboration Of fabric and trim
mings Is forbidden by some teachers; 9TH
ers permit only ribbon trimmings, and still
others allow embroidery or lace, provided
1t is not extravagantly used. A novelty
commended for these grish froc,s is silk
bingham, also called swivel silk, a mix
ture of cotton and silk, the ground smooth
ly woven and powdered effectively with
tiny silk figures or elongated dashes. 1t is
said to wash well, is durable, pretty and
inexpensive, needing only ribbons for trim
ming.
High waists with long largo sleeves arc
prescribed ut many schools for commence
ment dresses, whether for day or evening.
Harper's Bazaar tells that skirts escape the
floor and may be single or double over a
gorcd foundation skirt Of victoria lawn or
india linen, finished at the foot with a
ruffle of tho lawn and an inner dust
flounce. The fancy this season is for white
hosiery and white suede slippers with
white gowns, but graduates who prefer
black stockings and slippers will wear
them. White suede gloves complete tho
girlish toilet.

To Fill Out HoiIovs In the Neck.

Have you ugly little hollows in your
neck and fiat chest2 Here Is an admi-
rable exercise taught, says the New York
Herald, by Mrs. Emily Bishop to women
who arc so afflicted, which, if followed per-
sistently, will develop the chest muscles
and fill out all those telltale hollows in the
neck.
Advance one foot as in long step and
stand with the weight on it, extending
the arms parallel to each other in front
until they are in line with the shoulders.
energizo them and close the hands as If
each were firmly grasping rope, keeping
the eyes steadily fixed on some point about
two feet above their level, inhale slowly,
and with great energy pull the extended
arms down and well backward. At tho
same time bend the torso forward, but do
not transfer the weight of the body. The
head bends backward in opposition to tho
torso. Hold the position for u moment,
then withdraw all unnecessary neryo force
from tho muscles and exhalo as the body
returns to its original position. During
this exercise one should imagine that by
means of two ropes one is pulling some
heavy weight that must not be jostled, but
moved with care. Put all possible force in
the arms and brace firmly with the for
ward foot, but do not strain with the back
This exercise educates the arms and the
legs in lifting, and SO relieves the over
worked back, which often ages under bur-
dens not its own.

Scheme For a Summer Room.

To derive the best possible result from
warm weather furnishings, mattings
should be plain and Of fine texture. If a
rug Is desired, a square one made from
three widths of a deep pile carpet in willow
green, with fringe at the ends matching
the carpet, will be found pleasing. There
are greens and greens, it must be remem-
bcred, some soothing, cooling and restful,

color scheme for summer room, is I'M
surpassed. AS contrasted to hot colors,
such as brown and red, even tho moral in
huence welded on torrid day is inf

which advises as follows:
Select for.the summer living room a
plain, dull finish paper in willow green.
Should the woodwork appear shabby 1t
may be brought up to the standard Of the
surroundings by giving it a couple of coats
of ivory enamel paint. In lieu of purchas-
ing fresh wicker furniture, and rather
than use the heavy furniture which has
done winter service, n great deal may be
accomplished in doing over the weather
worn porch chairs and the shabby but com

WORKING ON THE NERVES.
The Impairment of the Sense Of Natural
Fatigue-A Disregarded Symptom.

In Il paper on the mental symptoms Of
fatigue physician attempts to show in u
practical manner how difficult it is to re-
store the weary to energy and strength.
Overworked women, professional men,
politicians and others work on their
nerves" and say don't feel tired and
nothing is the matter" Many of them
indeed insist that they feel better when
actively pursuing their ordinary occupa-
tions. DIR. Cowles declares this condition,
which comes on insidiously, to be u most
dangerous one. With the impairment Of
the natural fatigue sense, the mental effect
is that a man will not believe even his
physicians diagnosis of fatigue. He is
therefore prone to look for some other rea-
son for his sense of i'll being and inef-
ficiency and finds in retrospection cause
for self reproach and hopelessness in the
future or insists upon a revolution in his
affairs as the only remedy for condition
of which he himself is the central cause.
Here, then, we arrive at the two great fac
tors which have to be faced today in our
national and political life. The first, or
retrospective cause lies at the root of sui
eide, and the second, or impairment of the
judgment cause, lies at the root of revolu-
ton.

Waste In Cooking Potatoes,

An English scientist, after careful ex-
periments, finds that when potatoes arc
cooked without removing the skins they
lose only 8 per cent of nutritive quality
through extraction of the juice. When the
skins were removed before boiling, the loss
was IA per cent, which makes the process
of cooking the potatoes without their
jackets an exceedingly wasteful one.
