effect on the character of young men and

for living they have TO get up early in the
morning, get dressed, go down to breakfast,
which Is not always ready. After waiting
and growing very impatient you are given a
plate of hash and a piece of stale bread. Then
you leave out OF patience and mad. Come

After the smell of the cabbage is out OF the

The sub-appropriations committee of the

postage stamp agency. under the supervision
of DR.. W. r. Davis, who had ageneral over
sight of the printing of stamps when it was
done by thei American Banknote Company.
Since the contract was given to the Bureau
OF Printing and Engraving there has been
much friction between the agent and the
bureau. Senator Blackburn proposed yes
terday to strike out from the Post-office APP
preparation bin the appropriation for the
agency, but his amendment was lost. An
item was put in the deficiency bill which
would abolish the agency. but the item was

The HairclOth Skirt.


How to sit down gracefully in ones skirt
has become almost as much of problem as
it used to be to our grandmo.hers when they
had that unruly hoopskirt to manage. After
all, if ones skirt stands out so decidedly
from ones feet it makes very little difference
what stiflens it. In some respects the wire
skirt has advantages over the haircloth skirt
In the first place it is not SO heavy, and that
is great consideration when it is skirts that
are in question. Another objection to hair
cloth, aside from its weight, is its tendency
to torture the Wearer with the sharp ends of
hair, which creep out in spite OF the care OF
the dressmaker. Nevertheless, we are wear
ing moro and more of it every day. An in
genious and economical woman. who has had
an old-fashioned hair-covered sofa on her
hands for q long time, has at last discovered
a means of disposing of the unsightly object.
Removing the haircloth covering she shook
out the dust and put it in her Dew dress
skirt, and now she has handsome new COW
