Editor James r. Randall saws that
Alexander Stephens once told him. re-
1erring to his thin and emaciated
body, that he sometimes wondered
himself how such an anatomy as his
could have existed for any consider
able period after birth AS Mr.. Ran
Gall remembers him, he had a. paliid.
peardess face, and dark eyes that
seemed systematically bright. His
clothes We're black and rusty. his shirt

Bikes and other fads seem to be
raising Ned with the lake resorts, and
l read that while Mrs. c. Il is
a domestic woman, she had at one
time an ambition to play golf. but
Mnen the matter was preached to Mr.
cleveland he firmly but kindly de-
cnned TO consider it, both because he
did not like it as a recreation for a
woman, and because also. he thought
that it was rather an unidentified
amusement for the wife of a presi-
dent of the United States. When
Mrs. Carlisle was first considering
bicycling, and before she had become
an adept at it, Mrs. Cleveland had
the idea that possibly she would like
to ride a bicycle. The suggestion of
this to the president met with the
same response as the golf idea. So
Mrs. Cleveland does not play golf and
does not ride a wheel.

Mr.. Ruskin says that parents ought
to educate and maintain their children
until they reach maturity. When they
are strong throw them out of the
nest but let the nest be always open
to them. No guilt should ever stand
between child and parent. The doors
should be always open to a daughter
who is harlot. or son who is a
thief. if they return, but TO fortune
should be left to them. Mr. Ruskin
appears to have been studying Bob
IngerSoll.
Bill Glassman says that under the
Mckinley tariff the farmer was not
protected. That is not news. The
only parties protected under that in
EQUITY were the great manufacturers
and the great merchants. The farm

benefits of McKirlev's law They

Musical stockings are among the
latest freaks of fashion. They are
not audibly musical however. merely
visibly so. Their openwork bands
running perpendicularly up the
ankles, are patterned in the notes and
bars of the musical clef. OF course.
different tunes are used for different
occasions. Upon full dress hosiery
grand opera arias are appropriately
inscribed. Lighter compositions ap-
pear upon those dedicated to func-
lions less important, and for every
day stockings quite everyday ditties
are used. Stockings to be worn upon
Sunday alone are an interesting
phase of the fashion. These are, of
course. embelished with hymn tunes
and other sacred music.
Mark Twain. on the witness stand.
proved thai, like most writer's. he is
a very bad business man, says the
San Francisco Chronicle 1t was
shown by his own testimony that he
sunk 100000 in a. typesetting machine
irT, - h.
he put large sum into the publish
ing house of Charles l.. Webster &
Co, which scored a great success
with Grants Memoirs and then
made dismal failures with the mem
oirs of Sherman and Sheridan. Mark
Twain has given pleasure to so many
thousands of readers that ne deserved
to make a fortune out of his books.
He would be rich now if he had de-
posted in a good bank the money
that his books brought him. or invest
ed it in United States bonds or other
stable securities. Instead, he was
tempted into business ventures by the
hope of large profits. and. like most
men of imagination, he fell a victim
to the speculative schemes of his
partners.
A friend writes me from New York:
1--WE have, thus far, not been ex-
empt from sultry weather; and when
ii is hot and sticky as it now is:
when activity means a food Of
throat-drying perspira tor; when to
sit still is to swelter and to find
Sahara in the roof of your mouth,
what is the most cooling thing to
drink? Your thoughts first centre on
ice, cracking with that wonderfully
eloquent crackle of its own; then you
hear a delicious rustic as the crystal
line fragments are gathered in a great
glass jug. The melodious gurgle of
clear water as it pours in and sets
the ice a-sWim with a cool wish
wish falls pleasantly upon your ear.
But you long for tartness as well as
GOODNESS, so you take lemons, or you
take oranges and pineapples, or you
decant your ruby-red claret, nay, you
take of rum a little and Of champagne
a good deal-according to your purse
and your prejudice. Then with a
sprig of mint and a strawberry or two
for luck, to help the eve and delight
the nostril, you take tie Jug in both
hands and Old Humidity does the
rest. It is worth being hot and thirsty
TO enjoy the moments that follow
MY only answer was: Come to
Zion.
