The Important Matter of Skirts.

The expansion of woman in the
matter of gown skirts and sleeves
and hat trimmings grows apaCe
with the advance of the spring
months; but the whisper has spread
from Paris workshops that the
extreme limit has been reached,
and we have nothing more to fear
The ridiculous and exaggerated
fullness of from six to nine yards
round the bottom of the skirt, for
anything but diaphanous fabrics,
has only to be tried to be discarded
by every sensible woman. If you
add to this fullness a stiff interim
ing to extend the ripping folds,
and wires to hold them in place, a
woman may well hesitate before
she sacrifices her strength and ease
of motion to confinement in such a
cage. One of the greatest dis
advantages to be urged against the
stifily interlined skirt is the fact
that it so quickly loses its freshness
and becomes defaced. In fact, such
skirts require dummy to support
them; for the poor, weak, human
woman who wears one really needs
to sit even more than her more
sensibly clad sister, yet the repose
of every halfhour leaves its impress
on the folds; apd after only a few
wearings the gown is defaced by
ugly sharp creases where rounded
flutes should be.
Women who like the stiff appear
ance given by an interlining should
choose for their gowns stiff, firm
fabrics; these, when properly cut
and hung, will stay in place with
out interlining, wires, or lacking;
and when the wearer sits down she
can draw the fullness from beneath
her, so the gown will never take on
the ugly defacing creases.-Demo-
rests Magazine for May.

THE EVER PRESENT SIDE cOr1B.
The Reigning Style of Hair Dressing
Demand 1t.

Rare, indeed, is it to see now
adays a head without its side combs.
Never did so small and seemingly
insignificant a fashion produce an
effect so far reaching. They range
all the way from the bits of pale
pink celIuloid that the chamber
maid tucks behind her ears to the
gold and diamonds that sparkle on
the head of the dame of high
degree. The chief reason for the
side comb is that it is well nigh in
dispensable in affixing the Louis
Seize style of hair dressing, so much
in vogue now. 1t is interesting, by
the way, to observe that this Golf
fure, which greatly enlarges the
head, especially at the sides, is in
direct opposition to the laws OF
Greek beauty, which demand that
the summit of the human frame be
small, neat and compact.

Money and Banks .

Money is nothing more nor less
than a medium of exchange. The
farmer has potatoes, wheat, peach
es, and trucking products while
those in the city have clothing,
hardware, furniture, groceries and
the like. The farmer wants what
the city people have and the
city folk must have the products OF
the farm. Exchanges are made of
one product for another by the
medium of exchange called money.
The use of money therefore is to
make exchange of products easy
and equitable. But when all money
in the land is manipulated by a few
individuals who, by permission OF
the government call themselves
bankers, as TO diminish or decrease
it at pleasure-that is to say in
crease or diminish its supply tC
give themselves enormous profits
then the farmer and producer are
also manipulated TO pay tribute tc
shy ock.-Peninsula Farmer.
This is absolutely all there is
about the ''mOney question: that
is strictly honest. All else is an
abuse of this simple function OF
money, and to prevent the crying
abuses it is subject to in private
control, the government should
take entire control of its distribu
ton as it does of the mails. If the
management OF the mail was il
private hands, as that Of the money
is, the eXtortiOn through that
means would be frightful. Gov
eminent control of the money as OF
the mail would abolish half the
abuses the people are subject to al
the hands of monopoly.

Germ Theory of Disease.

The germ theory of the origin of
disease is q subject which is at
present attracting the attention of
scientific men i'll all parts Of the
world. The chief importance of
the germ theory, however, is not
that it shows the origin Of disease
but that it points out the best
means to be employed to effect a
cure. The germs of diseases, from
whatever source they come, are
lodged and developed in the blood.
The blood, of course, by circulating
to every part Of the body, is sure
to scatter disease throughout the
system whenever it is impure, the
weakest and most susceptible parts
being the first to suffer. 1t is be-
cause of scrofulous taints in the
blood, for instance, that the skin
becomes covered with eruptions.
It is Tactic acid in the blood which
causes rheumatism, and it is be
cause the blood does not supply
proper nourishment to the nerves
that people suffer with nervousness.
The cure for all these diseases, and
Of many others, can only be effected
by purifying the blood, and abso-
lutely destroying all germs of dis
ease. No intelligent person can
doubt that Hoods Sarsaparilla has
actually and permanently cured
many thousands of cases Of scrofula,
rheumatism, nervousness, dyspep-
STA and other troubles, and, as its
proprietors claim, it is all because
this medicine purifies the blood.
AS matter of fact, Hoods Sarsa-
parilla is the only reliable blood
purifier that is before the public
to-day.

LIVE ISSUES.
/" The Ninety and Nine"

There are ninety and nine that live and die,
In want and hunger and cold,
That one may revel in luxury,
And be lapp'd in its silken fold;
The ninety and nine in novels bare,
The one in palace with riches rare.
They toll in the fields, those ninety and nine,
For the fruitage of mother earth;
They dig and delve, in her dusky mines,
Bringing rich treasures forth.
And the wealth released by their sturdy blows
To the Golfers Of one forever flows.
The sweat of their brow makes the wilderness
The forest before them falls,
Their industry fashioned our thousand homes
And cities with lordly halls:
But the ninety and nine have empty hands
The one owns cities and houses and lands
Yet the night so dreary and dark and long,
The glorious dawn shall bring;
When over the land the victor's song
Of the ninety and nine shall ring;
And the chorus shall echo from zone to zone,
"Rejoice for labor shall have its own"

THE HOUSEHOLD.
VARIOUS USES OF SALT.
This Household Benefactor MOI
Thoroughly Appreciated.

Thoroughly Appreciated.
One pint Of fine salt mixed with
two pints of wood ashes and mixed
with water will mend cracks in
stoves. When clinkers accumulate
in the CRATE, throw in handful of
! salt, let stand a few minutes and
they will be easily removed.
A teaspoonful added to the water
in which cut flowers are placed will
preserve them for a considerable
time, and a little rubbed on the
griddles before greasing will pre-
vent cakes from sticking. Damp
salt will remove the discoloration
caused by tea on cups and saucers;
if sprinkled Immediately over any
spot where something has boiled
over on the stove, there will be no
odor and the spot will be easily
cleaned. A teaspoonful put in a
kerosene lamp will make the oil
give a brighter light, and small
| pinch added to the starch will pre-
vent it from sticking to the irons.
If your ingram carpet looks dingy
sprinkle little salt over it and let
it lie for at least five minutes, then
sweep it thoroughly, and you will
be surprised to see how much
brighter it will look.
One of the best things for clean
ing brass is salt dissolved in vinegar.
Cotton fabrics are less likely to fade
if allowed to lie for a short time in
strong solution of salt and water.
Sprinkle damp salt around where
there are moths and they will
speedily take their departure.
If small pinch is added to the
whites of eggs they will froth
quickly.
Small doses given at short inter
walls will stop homorrhage of the
lungs; for stings or bites Of any
kind of insects apply it damp and
bind tightly; for neuralgia or severe
pains in the stomach, fill muslin
Tag, heat it and lay it against the
aching place.
If the throat is very sore, wiring
cloth out of cold salt water and
bind around the neck, covering
with a dry towel; a weak solution
gargled with also help the throat.
A sponge bath in salt water will
arrest night sweats, and if used
cold is. one of the best solutions for
restoring firmness of the flesh:
battle the face upward and then
wipe dry. One-half a teaspoonful
dissolued in little water will
almost instantly relieve dyspepsia,
or cure collie in a grown person.
Two teaspoonfuls in about half
pint Of tepid water will act as an
emetic, or if snuffed up the nostrils
will relieve a cold in the head or
catarrh.
Salt should be eaten with nuts to
aid digestion.

coinage of liver bears the same re-

no further extension did to the
slavery question, and yet some Of
our friends think the money ques-
ton is not big enough for the
Peoples party.
The slavery issue gave birth to
the Republican party. What was

did not say abolition. They said

On that platform they elected
Abraham Lincoln, and the logic Of
events solved the slavery problem.
When the Republican party was
organized the Southern states were
tryingto enlarge the area of slavery,
the same as the shylocks of Europe
and America are trying to enlarge
the area of the single gold standard

eye the appreciation Of money.

kept them steers a year and they
were worth only 500. The money

them steers eat two tons of hay.
Hoarded money don't eat any hay.
When we put the question to the

SIR HENRY IRVING.

Henry Irving Is now n knight. He Will
not draw one bit better in New York than
he did before for that reason but he will
have an opportunity to cat twice as many
free dinners.-Buffalo Express.
"Slr Henry Irving has fine sound,
and none will rejoice more in this evidence
Of Queen Victorias sound sense than his
American admirers. Now, when will it
be Lady Ellen Terry?-Philadelphia Press.
The knighting of Henry Irving by the
queen on the occasion az her sevcnty-sixth
birthday, while adding nothing to the
fame of the great actor, will be accepted as
public recognition of the stage and of
the sxrcat part it can be made to play in
education OF the people Citi-
zen.
Regarded as real horor, the knightine
of Henry Irving was richly deserved, and
too long deferred. There is no reason why
the dignity should not have been conferred
upon him many years ago. 1t is, at the
best, o tardy recognition of his worth and
his prominence in his time.-New York
Times
Knighthood confers no fresh distinction
upon Henry Irving, but in according this
of his time the queen has won fresh hon
or for herself The art of the stage has had
to wait long for such an acknowledgment
of its rank among the fine arts.-Philadel
phia Times.
Henry Irving has been knighted by
Queen Victoria, but no mention is made
of an honor bestowed upon the feminine
member of the firm of Irving g. CO., who
is perhaps as talented as tho head Ellen
Terry can boast of no title, but she has
more admirers than Sir Hcnry.-St Paul
Morning Call.
Among those knighted upon the occa-
sion of Queen Victoria's birthday was
Henry Irving, the actor. However, the
honor will DO of little use to the great
tragedian in his profession, as, if he is to

known as Sir John Henry Brodribb, his
real name.-Syracuse journal.
