kerchiefs with wide red borders which old fashioned country folk affect, and generally having a kind of paisley shawl pattern ill red, yellow and black. These articles, but made of silk and woven together so as to form one piece, have been pressed into service. Three lengths are required for a blouse, and the squares of silk are so arranged that tho plain red border forms the yoke. The figured edge is also used for the upper part of the sleeves, collar, belt and, if liked the cuffs. But a good many of these blousos as well as most summer dresses are made with elbow sleeves, with which long white gloves are worn, even for street wear.
 The strong contrasts in color that threaten to extinguish the orb of day have invaded the dress for all fashion able functions, No former season ever surpassed the present ill variety of ma teri0lS, designs and colurings.
 Ribbons of all sorts are distinctive feature of the Sc;isun's fashions, and the variety of coloring and the pretty eff fects brought out with this simple dec Orati0n are beyond description. Much can De done to improve gown by mak- ing a pretty contrast ill color with the belt and collar and making them wide or narrow, a$ may be most becoming to the figure. A very dreSsv effect is also produced with the muslin tichus and epIulcts; also with collars fronts and cpaulrtS of lisSe finely tucked. Marie AntOlnette 1irhus of mou$selino de soie are features of some of the new gowns, aS are also the wide empire sashes. There appears to be- slight tendency to reduce the bulk of the sleeves and the size of the haas. There is also a rumor to the effect that the abuse of bright colOrs is bringing about q reaction ill this direction.

 Common Sense, Omaha.-Yes, you did right in kicking your son-in-law across your golf links for flirting with your wife.

Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases

dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best

representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against

a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-

While yet the bough forsakep.

To seek the happy shrine

And there before the altar
He kneels beseeching grace:
His heart forgets to falter.
Remembering your face:
And all his words are fashioned
Into a single line
A lovers prayer impassioned
To his saint. Valentine
His eyes with rapture glisten.
His heart with hope Is high.

And hear your footsteps nigh;

Charles Peak rode from Oakland
Cal. to Los Angeles, in a Pullman
sleeping car. Before he went to bed
about midnight. he went TO the smok-
ing room. and there found the porter
sound asleep. He occupied lower
berth. and put his coat and waistcoat
in the unoceupied berth above him.
When he got up in the morning they
were gone He sued the company.
and San Francisco justice gave him
q verdict The company contended
that 1t was absolyed from responsi-
bility by it, notice on the back OF the
berth check, which says: Baggage,
wearing apparel, money. jewelry, or
other yaluAbles taken into the car
will be entirely at the owners risk
The justice held that this notice was
not sufficient. aud that the company
must b responsible for the clothes a
passenger actually wore. otherwise
the whole scheme OF the sleeping car
failed The justice said.
''It is enough To say, upon the evil
dence in tho case, that II this colored
porter bad done his duty the loss OF
this coat and vest could never have
happened. Il is uncontroyerted evil
dence that this porter was dead asleep
about midnight OF the night in ques-
tioa. in the smoking room of the car,
out Of sight OF the aisle Of the car and
everything which might go on in the
various sections OF the car opening
upon the aisle.
II am prepared to hold that the
proof of the loss alone of the wearing
apparel OF a passenger in sleeping
car like this in the night time is
enough to make the defendant liable.
in the absence OF any showing on the
part OF the defendant that its servants
did their duty to -he fullest extent
As matter Of law. there is no pre-
sumption that they did. All parts OF
the sleeping car-that is, all parts
not occupied by other passengers
should b. safe for the passenger to de-
posit any article OF personal property
in or on. which he usually wears on
his person. or with his person. such
as coat. a cane. an umbrella or hat. "

Niagara, according to the New York
Mail and Express, represents a poten-
tial force equal to that of all the coal
mined in the world, computed at 7, 900,
900 horse power, all of which has been
running to waste for ountless Ages
and aeons since the cataract first blew
its trumpet from the steep and hung
the rainbow amid its ascending spray.
The economist may repiae that so
much working energy has so long been
thrown away, but a sentiment of exul.
tation that some part of it is now to
be girded in the harness of the world s
industry is moro CORE city in order.
Skilfui engineers declare that the
available power of the falls, leaving
it's peculiar grandeur entirely unim-
paired, will turn every wheel, run
every trolley and light every city with
in radius of 200 miles, and one of
the most eminent among them
says it can be conveyed in
any desired volume as far away as
Chicago or New York. The first wheel
has just been set in motion, equal to
the transmission of g, 900 horse power,
to be increased according to existing
charters something like one hund red
fold as the need for it is developed.
Henceforth Niagara possesses an in
dustrial interest equal to that which it
has always had as one of the most
majestic spectacles on the globe, its
latter attribution shorn OF none of its
glories by the creation of its new and
stupendous utilities. The success of the
work there shows thatall waterfalls can
be harnessed to production and made
to do part of mans work, and they
will be, ono after another, all over tn,
world. producing industrial effects
comparable with those following tn,
invention of the steam engine.

The Russian Thistle.

The plan of campaign against the
Russian thistle resolves it self into
one of stamping out the pest, root and
branch, rather than attempting the
half-hearted task or keeping it within
bounds. 1t is like a thief, give it an
inch and it will take an ell. 1t has
been reported that the thistle has
shown a disposition to loosen the hold
it has obtained upon the land in some
localities. Just how this may be we
are not prepared to say, but it is ex-
tremely doubtful that this state of
things should ever become at all gen
eral. When the Russian thistle goes
il will be at the bebest of man, and
that behest will have to be backed up
by wonderfully vigorous and thor.
oughly systematic effort at putting the
pest down at every point and by every
means at command. No man has yet
been able to point the way TO do this.
The unsettled state of affairs in the
West, practically ever since the advent
Of the thistle, has had very much to
do with the utter lack of any system
that should have for its object the
wiping out of the scourge. Until
some regular plan of campaign has
been formulated, however, it will be
in order for every man to fight his
own battles as best he can. The pres
eut year should witness more seri-
ous attention to the matter of fighting
the Russian thistle. 1t must bs
