Dinner hostesses are greatly perplex
ed about the size of the sleeves of their
women guests, for the most accomplish
ed waitress or butler scarcely knows how
to manage since the season for small
dinners" opened. Where four or five
ladies formerly could be accommodated
it is now a tight squeeze of the compa-
ny, and the servants are lost behind the
wall of silk and chiffon that encom-
passes the table. A maid must be not
only dexterous, but tall, to reach over
and between these sleeves, and the fact
that slender armed men divide the bill
lowy mountains is not of the least mo-
ment, as masculine guest is always so
oblivious to what is going ON behind
him he never dreams of moving a peg
one way or the other. The consequence
of this fashionable voluminosity is to
add an extra leaf to the dining table,
but as that is apt to destroy the effect
of the decorations, and if the room is
small, add yet another discomfort to
the service, it cannot be recommended.
Mesdames, why not take reef in those
sleeves?-Boston Herald.

DIR. Miles Heart Cure

| two young men, sons OF the house, I'M
seen before, came sloughing in by back
door, staying near it, and with sullen
shamefacCdness ignoring the presence of
the guests After the ceremony the cloud
still did not lift. The guests from the
hotel, the bride and groom and the
preacher We're Immediately ushered into
another room and seated at long sup
per table. Mrs. Harkins tried to get Art
TO take his place at its head, but Art
pulled his hat farther down on his head
and went out of doors without word.
Mrs. Harl;ins and some of her "kin"
waited on the table and served good
supper of cold chicken, oysters ("coxe"
oysters, if you know what they are), hot
biscuit, coffee and cake. The hotel peo-
pie tried now to give something of that
jOllity to the occasion that had charac-
terized it in their previous imaginings,
but they were under a saddening spell,
and besides, not realizing that the we'd
ding feast was to come so early, they had
supped at home and were not hungry,
and this in itself was depressing
Harry soon lost the cheer the meeting
glances had given him. Charley was
bearing herself toward him with all
the unconscious Indifference she had
worn for days past and was again de-
voting herself to palliating the suffer
ings of the lout of a bridegroom. Harry
wondered that her father could consent
to let her como to such place. 1t was
not desirable thing for young lady to
meet such people, however it might do
for others.
After the supper the preacher at once
and finally disappeared, and, 10! a change
Immediately made itself felt on all
sides Everybody, while the Second ia

talk. Soon all were moving about, and
the affability of all who knew how to
be affable was welcomed, even in help
less way by the young Hardness. Soon
an old white headed negro with fiddle
slipped into the main room, seated him
self in a corner and Immediately occa-
stoned much chuckling interchange of
sly looks and humorous comment. All
sections of the party, so to speak, sym
pathized in the point of view that in
duced these demonstrations, for it was
certain that number of church men,
bers of various degrees of social eleva-
ton would dance tonight and repent
tomorrow, or at least when they were
duly "disciplined" for their fall.
The dancing began, the old negro call
ing out the figures of the Quadrilles and
having great deal to say about busy
bee." That busy bee was an old &C
quaintance of every one present and
helped, as it had done many a time be-
fore, to Tighten feeling Of good fellow
ship all around, for Uncle Ned for life
time had withstood all arguments in ia
vor of the use of the more usual term of
vis-a-vis.

ladies to dance with them, aides whose

White Handled Razors.

There are many BARRIERS who will not
own a white handled razor because Of
an old superstition that bad luck goes
with it. A razor is to the barber what a
locomotive is to the engineer, and there
are more things to learn about it than
one would suppose. For instance, there
are razors that will cut certain qualities
of hair better at certain seasons than at
otl IS. Climate and weather have a
greet deal to do with razors. Some will
cut better in cold weather and some in
hot These are only few of the causes
that affect Tazors, and they and many
more all tend TO make the barber who
does much work keep accommodating "a
zors until he has all sorts to pick from.

An Oddity.

Joubert, the French moralist whose
''Thoughts' had great success, was so
odd and original that witty woman
declared he gave her the idea of a soul
which had met by chance with body
that it had to put up with and do with
as well as it could
His friend and editor, Chateaubriand
described him as an egotist who was
always thinking of others. His ambi-
ton was to be perfectly calm, yet no
one betrayed SO much agitation as he.
In eating and in taking exercise he
was as inconstant as coquette. For sew
eral days he would live on milk; then
for a week he would eat nothing but
hash. On one day he would be iolted in
n carriage a full trot over the toughest
roads; on the next he would be drawn
slowly through the smoothest alleys.
He had library of mutilatod books,
for when he read he used to tear out Of
book the pages that displeascd him. -

outcome, his friends are confident u; his
reelection. However his enemies, led
by q political moantshsnk, tho present
governor, are active and ldsho's friends
OF silver should be alive TO the danger.
The defeat of Senator Dubois would be a
disaster to the entire west.-kaslo Il.
c. Claim,
The Canadian editor seems to be well
posted in Idaho politics and his reason
ing shows that he has the right conctp
t,on of, not only th. silver question. but
also the man best suited to champion
the cause in tine United States senate.
Such statements as the above show that
Senator Dubois, even across the lire, is
looked upon as the foremost champion
OF the white metal in the west, and that
his re election to the senate is an abso-
lutte necessity ii Idaho is to maintain
her prominence in the silver caufe.
The reference to our governor, in styl-
ing him political mountehank,' is
such = correct pen picture that we are
surprised at the intimate knowledge dis
played by our British Columbia neigh
bor-but it is an unsind cut and We do
not like TO see the weak ness of Governor
Mcconnell exposed to the ridicule OF
the Queens subjects in this ruthless
manner. On this side Of the line we
are very familiar with his little idiosyn
crssies and had hoped that the skeleton
would remain encased in the family
closet; but now that the ksslo editor
has dragged it out We suppose we must
grin and bear it until the people realize
that our mounte bank is nothing more
than a grinning skeleton Of the Old vigil
ant days that occasionally appears on
IN apex OF a round-top table to dance a
cancan for the amusement OF some OF
the oldtimers. Ii really has no place in
the family since Mis-. Idaho i,ined the
sis,erhood OF states; but somehow it
,cIept in and is still ac.ins as sort Of 4
godfather 10 the blCshiEg young damsel,
for all OF which our apologies are due
the British Columbia eLiJor. We hope
he won't mention the matter again-it
Is humiliating to be reminded oi these
little family peculiarities.
