mean to say that her argument was
started in such a severely logical man
ner, but that was the drift Of it. Her
conclusion was that Mrs. Long-Green
could not be happy, that she must be
tortured by everything from conscience
to corsets, and that if Mrs. - L.-G.
supposed that she concealed her mis-
cry from such an eye IS my wife's,
there must be a dreadful vacuum un-
der Mrs. LES Easter bonnet. Hav-
ing come to this conclusion, Mauds
could not consistently envy Mrs. Long
Green any more, and SO b lost inter-
est in the subject and turned to some
body else.
There were many monstrosities Of
style last year, and the opportunity
for d~isagreeable comment was far
greater than it will be next Sunday.
The fashions this spring are more
rational than they have been at any
previous time in my recollection.
And as a result there isn't a woman
in New York who is satisfied.
Ask any of them and she will say:
"There aren't any styles this year"
Now, in my way of thinking, the new
sleeve constitutes a distinct style-de-
ining style to mean a radical perver-
sion of nature. These sleeves are GO
ing to be extravagantly broad at the
elbows. l should say, from a casual in
spection of Maude's new dress, that
some leader of fashion must have had
inf1ammatory rheumatism in her
elbows, resulting in a swelling of the
joints. and necessitating a plenty Of
room for them to move in.
The effect Of this costume is to give
a woman an extraordinary diameter
just above the waist line. When she
is laced rather tightly, SO that each of
her sleeves is bigger than her body,
she seems to me to have been evolved
from the three-legged pirate of the
Dry Tortugas, as introduced upon the
variety stage some years ago.
There is a new wrinkle in hats. Upon
my word, milliners are shrewd. 1t
wouldn't have done for them to crowd
the prices up any higher this year.
They have always been the theme for
photographers, and rightly SO. This
year they are no more expensive, but
they are so fragile that if it happens
to blow hard on Easter Sunday not a
stylish hat out of the whole parade
Will get home in good condition. And
if any husband endeavors to enact the
scene made familiar by the stage,
The Durham daily globe. (Durham, N.C.) 1889-1894, 1894-03-27

where the husband seizes his wife's
hat in one hand and the bill in
the other, there will be nothing
left to him but the bill, and the wife
will Immediately have to go and con
tract another one. These wonderfully
flimsy structures are quite artistic, and
if women were not dressing their hair
in such outrageous fashion this year
they might stand in some danger Of
appearing (above their collars at least
almost as the Lord made them. which
would not do at all. even on week
days, TO say nothing of Easter Sunday

Baking Powder Tramps.

The danger to the public health from
tue indiscrlmate use Of the many lime
and alum baking powders of commerce
has been so fully exposed that every
body desires to avoid them.
The proprieIors of some OF the worst
of these powders are now going from
house to house, or in the grocery stores,
making flake" tests to show that they
are as good as someother powder.
The housekeeper will do well to be
on her guard against these powder
tramps. Every intelligent person
knows that any goods peddled from
house to house in this manner, or that
aIe given awav in samples, or sought
to be introduced by traducing the char
actor of other goods well known to be
pure and reliable, have no merit OF
their own, and have failed to find pur'
chasers through legitimate means.
1t is stated, as a matter of fact, thai
one of these tramps is trying to intro
duce powder that has been found By
the Government chemist TO be ll.S5 pc
cent lime, while the other pedles pow
der that is 20 per cent alum one
powerful caustic, the other a corrosiv
poison.
No such fake" tricks will be apt t

By the death of Joseph Keppler,
editor and part proprietor Of Puck,
this country has lost its most famous
caricaturist. Mr.. Keppler had had
a diversified career, though from the
first his talent displayed itself as an
illustrator. He had had much eX-
perience in this direction for a num-
Der of years, but his reputation was
purely local until he established
Puck, the colored cartoons in which
soon gave him national celebrity.
He was greater caricaturist than
Mast, as the latter was only a cam
paign caricaturist while Keppler's
talent covered every variety of sub
ject, and as a craftsman he was far
superior to Mast. He leaves a son
who, it is said, will succeed to the
management Of Puck, but it is doubt
1ul whether he possesses his fathers
artistic talent. Mr.. Keppler had a
keen sense Of humOr, but the most
conspicuous rhase of his genius was
the inciSiveness and directness of his
cartoons. 1t will be exceeding diff
cult to fill his place

THE Chicago Times is attracting
considerable attention by fierce as
sault on the method Of assessment of
real estate for taxation, showing, by
facts drawn from the public records,
that while the homes and places Of
business of the small SHOP keepers
and other small owners Of Chicago real
estate are assessed at from one-quar-
ter to one-third of their market
value, the great business blocks,
owned by wealthy men or powerful
SyndicateS are assessed at only 6 to
Il per cent. Of their market value,
the rate OF taxation being the same
in all cases And this is true al
though the law of Illinois expressly
commands that all such property
shall be assessed at its cash market
value. 1t is probable that a similar
state Of things exists throughout the
country, affording another striking
illustration of the strange fact that
a law not sustained by public opinion
is practically dead letter" An
other fact it illustrates is the extent
to which the public conscience is
demoralized The argument ought
to be carried to the end if people are
to be taught by it. The amount to
be raised by taxation remains the
same no matter what the assessment,
so if the latter is raised the rate of
taxation will be lowered, and the ul.
innate difference might not he sc
great To each individual taxpayer az
one would at first expect, vet the in
equality under such a system as this
is sufficiently marked to startle any
one. 1t presents, too. nut for the

THAT highly interesting discovery
in optics which young ChicagOan
claims to have made-that by an eff
fective combination Of small lenses
he can secure the same POWER in a
telescope that is now attained only
by the uso Of one great tense. The
construction OF thirty -siX-inch lens,
such as is in use at the Lick observa-
tory, or of forty-inch lens, such as
the Clarks are making at Cambridge
for the Yerkes telescope, is one of the
most dit1 cult featS of mechanical
skill. 1t consumes years and costs
tens of thousands. This young in
ventor pretends that he can make an
equally effective glass in six months
for less,than one-tenth of the cost.
He has taken his idea from The eye
Of the common house fly, which, as
everybody knows, is multiplicity of
small lenses. More power to the in
yentor. The earth is the Lords, as
the heav, rs are, and we cannot
know too much about either. An
invention that draws the skies down
nearer to earth is victory Of peace, no
less renowned than that of war.
