gowns; trim and retrim her bonnets and make all sorts of little sacrifices, and all because fate decreed that her father should be a. quiet, unambitious, conscientious, dreaming sort of a fel- low, instead of a busting, money -mak- ing, successful merchant. This girl has brains and good looks; and, what is better, originality, but she is compelled very often to walk because she has no car fare. says the Kansas City Star. She amuses herself with all sorts of things that other girls seldom think of. Her latest exploit is a class of China men, into whose wooden heads she is endeavoring to inject faint idea of the limitation of the English language and incidentally the Christian religion.
 In her class, on a recent Sunday, she was giving Ching Poi an object lesson on the wonderful creation of God.
 See, Ching" she said, ''see this beau tiful rose God made this rose. He made it to look pretty and smell sweet. God made all things, Ching. He made you and he made me. Now tell me, Ching, who made the rose?'
 Ching grinned and said, God. He makee lose"
 That's right, Ching. Now why did He make the rose?"
 He makee lose to look pletty and smellee sweet"
 That's right. Who made you, Ching?"
 God makee me-" replied Chang. ''He makee me to look pletty and smell lee sweet"
 She is endeavorlng to teach the Chi namen few other things, but will let personal similes with the rose rest for while.

LOW PRICES.

There are at least two sides to almost every story, and there are certainly two sides to the story of Democratic tariff reform. The Democrats are proudly boosting that the tariff reform has brought an era of low prices. Two big clothing houses recently sent out cir culars all over the country stating how low manufactured goods were and show ing how the removal of the duty on wool had enabled them to reduce prices. This was one side. The other side was shown in the following reply to one of the circulars by a Texas mer-

late years of bangs and curling irons have affected women little and their faces need the relief of curls Art is now employed to make such curls ap- pear to be brushed out as much as they thin places, in spite of combs at the side, brushing and everything
 Some of the girls who comb their locks so as to hide their ears leave it smooth and prim, but let a perky little curl extend out on the cheek opposite the ear. The effect of this saucy trick Is shown by this picture. This girl re- sorted to another willy trick when she selected hat that so completely hides her forehead, for two things can safely be depended on; one that her forehead is a good one, the other that shen take off her hat at the first opportunity. The hat, itself is deserving of a full chance of display, being one of those rich and showy black felts, trimmed all around the crown with antique lace, which is arranged ir two large bows in the back, falling over the hair. Varie- gated plumes ornament the sides and a jet diadem is placed in the front, partly hidden by the lace.
 The very tall backed tortoise shell comb is especially designed for her whose head does not look well when the hair is mounted high. Tn such a case the locks are coiled at the point most becoming and the height of the comb appears well above the top of the head from the front.

Some idea of the variety and extent of the practical demands of the labor party of England may be obtained from the chief points of the program re- gently laid before the home secretary, MT. Asquith, by deputation from the trades-unions. MT. Woods, M F., de- manded that the principle of living wage should be adopted by the govern ment, that in every case "6d. an hour or 24s. a week should be the minimum pay for men in the employ of the state." Miss A. B. Marland demanded an exten- sion of the factory acts in order to put down sweating. MT. Harford, on behalf of the railway servants, demanded em- ployers' liability and no contracting out" MT. Inskip advocated more stringent application of the truck acts. MT. Burns asked for the complete popu- larization of the electoral machinery, the payment of the expenses of mem bers, and lone man, one vote" MT. Wilson demanded that workingmen should be allowed to serve on juries and should be paid, and that special juries should be abolished. MT. Cunan advocated the amendment of the law of conspiracy. MT. Burrows asked for more factory inspectors, and MT. Hol- lings requested the government to pro- hibt the landing of pauper aliens. Mir
 Asquith in his reply said that if the deputation had submitted to him some of the wilder resolutions adopted at the recent trades-union congress, he would have been compelled to express his opinion of them in clear terms. With regard to the points enumerated he thought that all of them were proper subjects for additional legislation ex- cept that relating to alien immigration.

THE STATE PRISoN.

The chief officer of a prison has two serious dangers always lying in wait for him, even if he is in all respects what he ought to be. Malicious con victs may try to make trouble for him both inside and outside the prison, and cranks or injudicious humanitarians may assail him in the alleged interest of progress and philanthropy.
 There has been some kind of a row at or about the State prison at Wethers- field, and the warden has promptly and properly asked for an investigation. There should be one and it should be thorough. If 1t is found that certain people in the name of the law and hu- manity have been interfering with the proper and necessary discipline of the prison they should be distinctly re- buked. No man can look after four or five hundred convicts successfully if they are taught to believe that they needn't respect him or his orders. And while even convicts should be treated humanely they are not entitled to be "carried to the skies on f1owery beds of ease" There must be stern and unwavering discipline at the State prison. It should not be interfered with injudiciously by any public officer And any public officer who does so in- terfere with it shows his or her unfit ness for dealing with State prison prob- lens,

4 SLIPPERY SUGG ESTIoN.

It is evident that there are some people in this country who want the government to pay it's bonds in silver. Such people ought to show their good faith now that the country Is in trouble by getting together all the gold they can, giving it to the government and asking for bonds payable in silver. By so doing they can show their confi- dence in their notions and bestow fitting rebuke upon the mercenary and benighted gold-bugs. Bonds payable in silver wouldn't differ much in appear ance from bonds payable in gold and the silver men who might own the silver bonds could well afford to laugh at the ignorance and stupidity of those who preferred to own the gold bonds, knowing, as they do, that silvers the thing.

FASHION NOTES.
A Designing Curl.


 Every woman takes her own way about dressing her hair, seizing gladly upon the stylish methods if they suit her and discarding them if they do not. Thus it happens that one coiffure that is stylish at present Is so trying that few women attempt 1t and even fewer should adopt it. It permits of no curls or fiufferies and it is only the girl with a nice forehead who can stand it. She brushes her hair till it shines and then turns it back from the central part in a natural glossy curve over the ear. The sort of forehead that is a little scraggy at the temples is not for this style, nor is the usual forehead, for the

When the chief of construction ad- vertised for bids on the negro building at the Cotton States and International exposition at Atlanta, Georgia, he gave notice that only negro labor would be employed. The competition was open to all contractors, however, and bids were submitted by two white firms and one of colored men. The negroes underbid the white men by several hundred dollars, and they received the award The chief of construction says the firm is perfectly competent to do the work The incident will act as powerful stimulus to excite the interest of negroes in the negro exhibit. In some States they are thoroughly organ ized, and they will soon be at work for an exhibit ill every southern State

The Philadelphia Record tells of 8 good old Methodist lady who became very happy the other Sunday under the preaching of the Word, and calculated, "Glory! She was admonished to keep quiet by two of the brethren, and nod ded assent, but soon becoming forget ful, responded, "Hallelujahp' The brethren again called her attention to the annoyance, and told her that if she did not keep quiet they would be com pelled to remove her. The sermon pro- ceeded, and the old lady, becoming very happy and forgetful of her surround angs, shouted out, "Glory to Godw This was too much for the brethren, and they tried to lead her out, but she refused to walk, so they carried her. On her way she said: 'T am honored above my Mas ter, for while He was carried by an ass, I am carried by two"

At recent meeting in Boston of the New England Cremation society there was evidence that the idea of cremation is gaining ground. Dean Hodges of the Cambridge Episcopal Theological school, in his address, suggested the re- vivaI of the custom of having the last resting place within the church walls, the ashes of the dead being placed there; he also suggested that some building like the Pantheon might be erected and made beautiful with works of art, scriptural texts, etc. Another speaker made the interesting and strik- ing calculation that if cremation gains approximately in the future as it has gained in the IF years since it's intro duction into this country, it would by the year 1910 be the almost universal way of caring for the dead.
