The Growing Glory OF the WeII-Dressed
WOman's Toilet.
If little woman wants to look tall
let her wear a little light hat or bon
net; if a tail girl is too tall she can
look head shorter under big dark
hat. This is on the principle of put
ting a sky frieze and u white ceiling in
a little low room or bringing down q
lofty salon with decorated ceiling, a
dark frieze, and heavy molding. Black
millinery goods are not only ugly but
depressing and trying to the complex
ion. Dark blue, brown and green chips
are good, and light straws are better.
White is for bonny youth, but nearly
every face will brighten up under the
natural yellow and straw colors, pro-
vided the briIn is daintily faced and the
trimming is artistic. For instance, get
a MANILA straw, put some dotted net
for a facing over the eyes, and with
Topped velvet or ribbon and some bows
of ribbon, grass, or corn leaves, the
effect will be good. Mignonette, the
poets rose, is charming with brown or
blue; maidenhair ferns on chip of
rough-and-ready is quaint and I'M
common selection, and a posy of light
little rosebuds is a good style at any
season of the year The tall girl can
use lace to fall over the flowers and
brim, privilege denied the little
women who are pretentious.-Ch Chicago

How the Log-Handiers OF the Northwest
Live in the Forest.

Live in the Forest.
The men engaged in logging indus
tcy are of a disposition akin to that of
all people similarly employed. Rather
rough in appearance, they are, never
theless good-hearted and jovial. and as
a rule, robust and healthy They work
hard and as natural result are blessed
with large appetites and unfailing d.
gestive organs.
When not working they spend their
time for the most part in innocent en-
joyments, or knocking about town"
They are Il jolly class to be among.
Many are educated and enlightened on
public questions, and not infreuuently
we find them prominent in local affairs
ard Acknowledged political leaders.
The living apartments of camp are
crude, and constructed but for few
winters use, and oftentimes but for a
single season. The large, low build
ings are constructed of logs, while the
roofs, which are nearly fat, are made
of wooden tiles, hewn out from logs. or
from overlapping boards The furni-
ture, which in both cook shanties- and
''men's shanties,'' is usually made from
rough pine boards, consists of tables
put dishes, and the mems hunks Rough
bark covers the walls, while mud is
used to ''chink up" the cracks
In the cook shanties are the large
stove and long tables surrounded by
benches that answer the purpose of
chairs. Apart from the main camp are
oftentimes found living apartments for
the foreman and his family, the woman
cook, when one is employed. One cook,
with the help of a "chore- bow" or
''cookee," is able to prepare the food
for from thirty to fifty men. The lum-
bernan's food is substantial, and usu-
ally so prepared as to be quite palata-
bic; and to the time-honored pork and
beans there are added pastries and del
icacies.
In the center of the mems shantv
stands large stove, which by the
/. cracking dry pine or tamarack fire,
adds cheerfulness to tbs long winter
evenings. On either wall, arranged in
tiers of from two to three deep, are the
mems hunks, each large enough to hold
two persons. In this room they spend
their evenings, reading, telling stories
or engaged in general conversation.
ground the work is abandoned until an
other winter. and the men are off to
town to enjoy a short period of recre-
ation-and, too often, a protracted
spree, after which they go on to the
log drives and into the mills for the
summers work.
The logging industry has witnessed
many wonderful evolutions within the
past few years. and is, at present, trans
acted upon the strictest scientific and
business principles. When we exam
inc statistics, and find that the present
lumber cut in Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Michigan amounts in each year to
10000 600, 900 feet, and that for the ten
years ending January 1, 1890, the cut
was 5000, 917, 567 feet, we are almost
appalled, at the magnitude of the fig
ures. The latter amount would be con.
tanned in a pile of logs $50 feet wide, 40
feet high and extending from New
York to San Francisco.-J. e. Jones, in

HE lriquois club, one of the strong

publicans of Kentucky have done the
same. OF course this isn't the senti.

THE Troy Chief calls the free coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to / craze
and calamity platform and warns
the republican party against it. If all
the republican papers had the nerve to
speak the noXious sentiments of the
party leaders as boldly as the Chief,
the peoples party would have smooth
sailing. The people recognize that
anything short of the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to l is gold
monometallism and VIII never tolerate
it. They may be duped, as they have
been in the past, by bamboozIe and
fiim-fam promises, but they do not en-
dorse gold as the monetary unit. But
the only way to reach some people is by
letting destiny take her course; they
will wake up some day to realize that
party prejudice affords poor nourish-
ment.

AFTER GROVER

Ex' Congressman Bryan, of Nebras-
ka, has published an open letter in
the Omaha World Herald to President
Cleveland in reply to the presidents
recent letter on the money question.
MIR. Bryan is an able thinker and pop
ular financier; bis main weakness Is in
declaring himself democrat. After
soroe preliminary remarks, he says.
What do you mean by the phrase
sound money! In your letter you
make frequent use of that and kindred
phrases. In tact, in the course ofyour
letter you speak three times of sound
money, twice of safe currency, once
of sound currency, once OF a safe
and sound currency and once of safe
and prudent financial ideas, and once
of wholesome financial doctrine
You also speak once of a DECEASED
currency once of 'degenerated cur
rency' and once of cheap money
"ln one place you describe your OPP
ponents as the forces of silver mono
metallism,' but you nowhere explain
what you mean by sound money! or
what you consider clean money
Now everybody favors sound mon
ey' and safe currency and a plain
and simple statement of what you mean
by these euphonlous and universally
admired phrases might dispel the war
clouds and make a line of battle I'M
necessary. If by sound money you
mean gold standard why did you
avoid the use of the word gold in your
letter? IT by safe currency you
mean bimetallism, why did you avoid
the use of the word 'bmetallism' in
your letter?
Your opponents favor the free and
unlimited coinage of gold bullion into
dollars each containing 25.8 grains of
standard gold. Are you in favor of
this? Your opponents are in favor of
the free bullion into dollars each con-
tanning 4l2.5 grains of standard silver,
are you In favor of this? If not, are
you in favor of tie coinage of silver
bullion into dollars of any size? Are
you in favor of the free coinage of sill
yer, what charge, if any, would you
make for coinage?
"Is the failure of the gold standard
advocates to define their purposes and
defend their financial system due to
lack of knowledge of the subject, or to
an unwilljngness to let the people
know what they intend? If the pro
prieties' of your official place oblige'
you to forego the enjoyment which
you would derive from the writing of
another letter explaining your last let
terand defining your position on the fl
nancial question, please designate
someone who has authority to speak
for YOU so that the people may be 'af-
forded an intelligent opportunity as
you suggest, to study and decide this
now paramount public question"

SENATOR ALLISON, who has been
frequently mentioned as presidential
probability on the republican ticket
has also declared himself for 'sound
money" alias single gold standard. 1t
IS notable fact that every republican
thus far mentioned fol- the presidency
is gold basis man. Will the rank
and file of western republicans con-
tinue to contend that free silver will
come through the fundamentally of
their party?

for MONOPOLY restriction or trasporta-

claimed for it by some. Should our
party forsake all its demands, save sill
