length of time. The back should, if
possible, give support to the small of
the back as well as the shoulders. In
working at desk it should be of such
a height that he can easily sec his
work when sitting erect by bending his
head, instead of inclining the body at
hip joints. The upright position helps
to expand the chest and keep the
shoulders in their proper place. Its
use soon becomes habitual if it is in
sisted upon.
In walking, the heel should not be
brought down too firmly. A part of
the weight of the body belongs upon
the toes, and when due proportion is
thrown there it gives an elasticity to
the gait which is lost when it is not
properly distributed. Walking with
the heels raised from the ground is a
good exercise, although fatiguing
one. Hopping on each foot alternate
ly is another. Dancing is valuable
accomplishment for children. The
consciousness of being able to dance
we'll gives ease and self possession TO
many young man and woman who
would otherwise be bashful and awk-
ward. Little people usually delight in
the rhythmical motion, and if it is not
combined with late hours it does them
nothing but good.

Girls Their Own HeIpers.

The ways in which o girl may help
herself-her future. If not her present
self-are many, and each and all of
them practical to the last doing, writes
Mrs. Hamilton Mott in the September
Ladies' Home Journal. The division
of her day into routine may seem
matter of but slight Importance, but
the best division Of the busy day of
housekeeper, business woman or of
the woman of large social duties is of
vast Importance and comfort or dis
comfort to its divider. A regular time
for arising, which will permit the
proper dressing of ones self, and the
undressing of ones bed and airing Of
ones room before the breakfast hour,
is matter of habit which, when es-
tablished in girlhood, becomes of the
greatest use in later years. The ap-
portionment of the morning hours-as
these are least liable to Interruption
to domestic duties study or practice,
and to any church or charitable work
necessary, will leave the afternoon
free for receiving or making calls, for
outdoor exercises, and for amusements
or duties which are only occasional.
The habit-for this is what it becomes
of constantly endeavoring to make
of whatever place girl finds herself
temporary or permanent mistress, a
tidy and pretty abode, occupies many
minutes, but they are we'll spent ones.

A paradoxical remark was made one
night recently at the Emergency Hos

hastily been brought in and doctnred
for several wounds which were the re.
suit of scrap in saloon. The re-

made caused good deal of merriment
While drunk he wandered into bar
room in the "division" and had quar-

he was on the operating table at the
hospital, while q friend, who was with
him, detailed the circumstances of his
calamity. He was struck across the
back of the head with beer bottle,
making an ugly wound, and the same
weapon had been in contact with the
side of his face, splitting it open some
inches. AS the Irishman was leaving
the room he was soliloquizing:

MAINE Is ALL RIGHT.
Greatest Republican Victory Ever
Achieved in tho State.
Three Hundred Towns Give Republican
Governor 32, 1866 Majority.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 1.-THE Repub-
licans regard the result of yesterdays
election as the biggest victory they
have ever achieved in this State.
The vote for Governor, which two
years ago was 10000, is reduced TO-
900 to 10000, but even with this it is
alleged that Cleaves has received TO-
600 votes.
In every one of the sixteen counties
of the State the Democracy has been
defeated
Every city in the State has probably
gone Republican, which is something
phenominal.
The returns show nothing but Repub-
lican gains. The returns 80 far indi-
cate that johnson, Democrat, will not
get over $4,000 votes, to $4,000 cast for
him two years ago, and this may be
reduced by later returns. ..
All four of the Republican Congress-
men are elected by largely increased
majorities. '"af
The Republicans have carried both
branches of the Legislature, electing
solid Senate, which two years ago
stood thirty Republicans and one Dem
ocrat.
In the House of Representatives,
which consists of 151 members, and
which two years ago stood 107 Repub-
licans and A Democrats, the Republi-
cans, 1t lie believed, have elected 1877
members, while the remainder have
been elected by the Democrats and
Populists. t44 80
The following is the vote for Gov
ernor from 300 towns compared with
the vote cast in the samo towns in 1892.
Henry B. Cleaves (Rep), 1854;
Charles F. johnson (Dem.) "a, ,1O4; L.
G. Bateman (Pop.), LITE Ira; g. Her
sey (Pro.), 3,s39; Republican plurality,

In 1892 these same towns voted as
follows: Henry B. Cleaves (Rep. !, 54,-
s53; Charles F. Johnson Dem. J, 40, 1859;
L. G. Bateman (Pop.), 1904; Aaron
Hussey (Pro.l, s,O57; Republican plu.
rality, 10,994.
1t is claimed by Republicans tonight
that Governor Cleaves' plurality will
reach $4,000, but Mr.. Manley's estimate
of $1,000 is generally regarded as cor
rect. The greatest surprise is in the
complexion of the House, which will
have but nine Democrats. Reeds plu-
rality in the First District is $500;
Dingley's, in the Second, $500; Milli-
ken's, in the Third, $500, and Bou.
telle's, in the Fourth, 5000.

OF "Mulligan Letters" Fame.

A man whose life had a. strong in
fuence on the career of James G.
Blaine died recently in Maynard, Mass,
aged seventy five. 1t was James Mul.
ligan, whose name in connection with
the famous "Mulligan letters" was
known all over the country few years
ago. ..l..... .I.......
Mr.. Mulligan was native of Ire
land, and came to this country when
fifteen years old. For many years he
was connected with the Adams Sugar
Refinery as as'chashier and confidential
clerk. Warren Fisher, Jr., and Even
G. Stanwood, the latter James G..
Blaine's brother in law, were at the
head of the Company, and Mr.. Multi
gan was thrown into most intimate re-
lations with them. He became pos
sessed of certain valuable letters which
were believed to involve Blaine in
questionable proceedings concerning
the sale of railroad bonds to a certain
syndicate. These letters created con.
siderable comment unfavorable to the
man from Maine, in the Congressional
investigation of 1878, and were made
an issue in the Presidential campaign
of 1884, when Blaine was defeated by
Cleveland. They undoubtedly had q
strong influence in bringing about that

four thousand dollar exemption line.
Thus man whose income is five thou
sand dollars will be taxed two per cent.
upon one thousand dollars and will
therefore pay an income tax of twenty
dollars. The law goes into great de-
tail in its endeavor to explain what is
meant by ''income," and in its further
endeav or to devise way to make the
tax effective. Nevertheless it is COM
monty said that rich men will very
generally find ways to evade the law
and that only the corporation tax will
yield a large revenue. If this were
true it would be very deplorable. Un-
til it is ascertained to be true the as
sertion ought not to be made. The in
come taxi its existing form seems to
us an unwise measure; but there is no
possible excuse for evading it. 1t be-
comes liability that no honest man
can fail to recognize. This particular
income tax is class legislation, and
seems to us unAmerican in every as
pect of it. We hope 1t may be repealed
at no distant day. Senator Hills con-
sistent and brilliant attempt to defeat
1t placed him in the most favorable
position as a public man that he has
ever yet occupied before the American
people. AS strong personality and
an astute politician Mr.. Hill has made
place for himself in the United States
Senate that few observers of his career
in the arena of State politics had ex-
pected. Few if any members of the
Senate really believe in the income tax
appendage Of the tarff bill. Mr.. Cleve-
land, in his letter to Chairman Will
son, expressed mildly but unmistaka-
bly, his personal dislike of the income
tax feature, If in placing tax upon
sugar, which will yield Very large
revenue, the Senate had followed Mr..
I'LL o duNlCc duu clluludIcu bue lu-
&C me tax, no part of, the country would
have seriously disapproved and the
Senate would have come out Of the con.
test with better public credit. There
is no human being who can express
evn glimmeringly intelligent opinion
of the amount of revenue that the in
come tax will yield. Never in the his
tory of the world, itmay fairly be guess
ed, did a great nation enact a revenue
measure with so little knowledge of
the probable amount Of money that it
would bring into the public Golfers.
Mr. Carlisle's position as Secretary of
the Treasury under these circumstan-
ces is not an enviable one. e.-From 1.-THE

LITERARY NOTES.

The Review of Reviews for Septem-
ber might well be called an information
al politics number, the word politics
being used in its broadest sense. Every
line of this whole compact issue is up
to date and directly pertinent TO the
great problems that concern the world
at the present moment The most
elaborate article is entitled Political
japan and Its Leaders," by Mr.. G.
Meriwether, The writer is o Johns
Hopkins graduate who spent some
years as a professor in government
institution in Japan, and who has
written the present article with refer.
ence to all these conditions which have
brought Japan to a domestic and for
eign crisis, the result of which is the
existing war with China. Mr. Meri-
wether gives US clear accounts of the
most significant party and military
leaders. Under the title of 1.-THE Work
of the Fifty Third Congress, the Re.
view furnishes a record of the legisla-
ton of the past year, and devotes sew.
eral pages of fine print to the actual
tariff schedules, placing the Mckinley
rates and the new rates side by side.
This is service that will be particu.
larly appreciated during the pending
campaigns. Mr.. w. B. Shaw of the
Review staff has also compiled for this
number summary account of the i'm
portant laws that have been enacted
by the fifteen State Legislatures which
have been in session within the past
six or eight months. Dr. Albert Shaw,
editor in chief of the Review, presents
an article on the new Hawaiian con-
stitution, evidently prepared from a
close study of the complete document.
He points out many interesting fea-
lures, and regards the work of the Ha.
waiian convention as evincing high
order of statesmanship.

bill was entrusted, after it came back
from the Senate Finance Committee,
was unknown to the Constitution, un-
authorized by the rules Of the Senate,
or by party caucus, tradition or custom.
The manner of making the bill should
condemn it. 1T was traded through"
without regard to principle, public
policy, public interest or public NOR
als.n .,.
The adjusting committee went thro'
the whole list of Senators very patient
ly. They gave Senator Murphy his
duty on collars and cuffs; they gave
the Senators from Tennessee, Alabama,
Virginia and West Virginia the duty
on coal and iron ore; they gave to the
Senators from Louisiana and elsewhere
and the great sugar trust of the coun-
try the duty demanded ON such: they
did not give Senator Brice protective
tariff on wool for his Ohio constituents,
for the Senator did not demand it. He
says he did not. He does not tell us
what concessions were made to him,
nor by whom they we're made, but the
people of Ohio looking upon their dis
tressed industries have fully determined
that not one of them received one con
sideration at his hands.
1t gives some protection. 1t has
some free trade in it here and some in
it there, but. mostly North. 1t is a
tariff on peanuts, but free trade in cot
ton ties; there is tariff on sumach,
but free trade in wool. There is a
tariff on mica, but free trade in lum
ber. In every schedule there is gross
est exhibition of sectionalism and un-
just discrimination.
Gov. Mckinley was especially severe
in his Characterization of the case of
the Louisiana Representatives, who
were promised protection for their
sugar interests and then left out in the
cold. He devoted considerable time
to comparison of the tariff bill of 1890
with the new law, to the disadvantage
of the latter. The tariff of 1894 has
struck the farmers right and left. He
has been shown no mercy whatever.
The deadliest blow is against the wool
growers. III
The concluding portion of the ad-
dress was an arraignment of the Demo.
cratic party for what were described as
its false pretentions for the alleged
hostility of leaders to the pensioners of
the Union army and navy, and its in
capacity to conduct the affairs of the
naiion.

Woman's Equality With Man.

Woman should stand on perfect
equality with man in every spere of
intellectual endeavor, writes ]. Nc.
Donald Oxley in an article on Post
Graduate Courses for Women" in the
September Ladies' Home Journal. No
barriers should be placed in her path.
Whether the ballot be woman's 3 right
or not the privilege of post graduate
study unquestionably is, and neither
she nor those who sympathize with her
must be content until this is opened
to her in the fullest degree. By way
of conclusion a good way of bringing
this about may be suggested: Let it be
a condition of future bequests or do
nations to the universities that they
admit women to their post graduate
courses.

HE ROUTED THE OLD MAID.
One Of the POst.bellum Victories of
Gen. Forrest. he ate Babies.

Captain James Dinkins, assistant
general passenger agent of the Illinois
Central, is great admiier of the late
Gen. N. B. Forest and thinks that his
tory does not furnish his equal as a
cavalry commander. He was with
Forest much during the war, and never
tires of telling about the General 8 bold
and nearly always successful exploits
against the enemy, says the Memphis
Commercial.
Speaking of Gen. Forrest" said
Capt Dinkins to an old Rebel comrade
the other day, did you ever hear the
story of the lady who interviewed him
in New York after the warp No?
"Well, he was stopping at the old
st. Nicholas. He had gone to New
York to negotiate the bonds of the
Memphis, Southern and Brunswick
Railroad. His son, Capt William For
rest, was with him. They were occu-
pying suite of rooms on the third
floor. The General had been greatly
annoyed by people curious to see the fa-
nous Rebel General, and the hotel pro-
rietor, in order to relieve him of worry,
had policeman stationed at the head
of the stairs to intercept all such visi-
tors, but this officer did not 20 on duty
until s O'Clock in the morning.
"Gen. Forrest was always an early
riser, and on this occasion had gotten
up, put on his shoes and trousers and
was sitting on the side of the bed. He
had habit of running his fingers
through his hair when he got up in the
morning, and l have seen it hundred
times standing like the quilts of the
fretful porcupine. While sitting on
the bed thinking over his business mat
ters and engaged in this hair raising
pastime, the door was suddenly opened
by typical New England old maid.
She had on a close fitting jacket, and
wore sun bonnet, was very tall and
slender, with the corners of her mouth
drawn down, and very small, black
eyes. She held the door open, fearing,
no doubt, some harm might come to
her.
''She asked Is this the Rebel Gen.
eral, Forrest?'

name is Forrest.

l do not wont any evasion. want to
know II it is true, as stated, that you
killed all the poor colored people at
Fort Pillow. I want to know right this

Eyes, said Gen. Forrest. 4 killed
all the men and women and ate the
babies for breakfast.
"The old maid fled, giving scream
after scream until she reached the
street. The people in the hotel rushed
to the Generals rooms to ascertain the
cause and found him and General For
rest in commissions of laughter"

Peculiar to Itself.

Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar to
itself, in strictly medicinal sense, in
three important particulars, viz; first,
in the combination of remedial agents
used; second, in the proportion in
which they are mixed; third, in the
process by which the active curative
properties of the preparation are Sc
cured. These three important points
make Hoods Sarsaparilla peculiar in
its medicinal merit, as it accomplishes
cures hitherto unknown. But it is not
what Hoods Sarsaparilla does, that
tells the story. What Hoods Sarsapa-
rlla has done for Others is reason for
