FREELAND, Pa, MARCH II, 1895.

The press of the state is somewhat
divided upon tho merits of the Farr
compulsory educational bill, which is
now on fair way to become law.
Among the claims made for the act is
that 1t is duty the state owes to
itself to have its citizens educated, and
that compulslon should be used to at
tain that end when necessary. The
claim must be acknowledged good
one, as educated citizens are Of more
benefit to a community than the un-
educated, but for some reason or an
other laws which contain provisions
that compel people to do any certain
thing generally work better in theory
than in practice.

The new county bill is conceded to be
beyond the danger limo, and 1t is time
the Frcoland people step up and present
their claims for the county seat. This is
something the people will vote upon,
just the same as they will vote upon the
new county itself, and there is no town
within the limits of the proposed county
that can show better claims. There is
one town with more inhabitants, but
people do not make a county seat any
more than the largest city in state
makes it the capitol. Freeland will be
nearer the centre of Quay county and
more convenient for all the people whose
law business will take them to the coun-
ty seat than any other town within its
borders. This cannot be disputed, and
If the people here will take any interest
in placing the towns advantages before
the voters the new courthouse will
adorn one of Freeland's squares.

There is q class of organized agitators
who have taken up the public school
system of the state as shield under
which to prosecute campaign of sec
tartan intolerance that is unrepublican
and unAmerican, and they have become
so aggressive of late that the politicians
are afraid to oppose them. The terror
ism they seem to have exerted has been
largely due to a certain parade of mys-
tory they are able to maintain. When
they come out into the open, and their
political alliances are avowed, public
sentiment is pretty sure to array itself
against them. These sectarian agita-
tors are having their own way just now,
as they had more than once in the past,
but history indicates that the common
sense of the people will get the better of
thom in the end. A vast majority of
the people Of Pennsylvania believe in
freedom and toleration.-Phila.I Times.

In white, cream, crimson and gold, and
an outlining Of Japanese tinsel. The

A nightdress sachet need not be made
In the conventional shape. For con-

Our model is made square, of striped
sash ribbon lined with quilting and
edged with cord, looped at the corners.
A ribbon Is sewn to one Of the loops at
the tips, and to CLOSE the case the four
flaps are turned inwards; the ribbon Is
threaded through all the four loops
and tied into careless bow; the
whole thus bearing some resemblance
to Brobdingnagian envelope.-Good

Neglected Women Deserve Neglect.

1t is her own fault If woman is un-
loved and neglected. This is o harsh
statement to make, but is fact. Nor
tai man Is weakling who can no more
resist kindness than rose can resist
the sun. 1t is weak, helpless woman's
duty to make herself attractive and
pretty In the very teeth Of defeat, and
to make herself agreeable to every one
In the very face of discouragement.
Call 1t hypocrisy, tact, flnesse, or by
any other term, but she must turn In
the edges, and make allies instead Of
antagonists Of the people about her.
Spotless neatness, becoming feminine
attire, truth, kindness, cheerfulness,
love, and the loyalty that restrains her
from speaking i'll Of her neighbors will
make any woman lovely, even though
The lacks beauty.

The bill to prohibit teachers in public
schools of this state from wearing any
sort Of religious garb has passed
second reading by very large majority.
1t is not yet law, and advices from
Harrisburg are to the effect that it will
scarcely reach the governor, notwith-
standing the demand made for its pas
sage by It's advocates. The bill, as its
sponsors openly avowed in the house, is
aimed at the Roman Catholic church,
and by making 1t law they expect to
prevent few nuns from holding posi-
tions as teachers. That they may sue
ceed Is possible, but at the same time
they will drive out hundreds OF Dun
kards, Quakers and Mennonites, all OF
whom wear, while teaching, dresses en-
blematic of their religious beliefs. The
few nuns who might leave the schools
on account of refusing to doff the garb
OF their orders will have more time to
devote in advancing their religion, and
tho legislative A. p. Aists will find their
own friends will be hit harder by the
garb bill than the Catholic church.

My little lad, whom doubt assailed,
In our poor human fashion
Because nine times he tried, ana sailed
To check his furiouaSassion,
Would fain give up the unequal strife;
Leave courage to his betters;
And wear through all his hampered life
Hot temper's iron fetters.
Nay! never fear the stubborn thingi
Be brave and solf-reliant;
The smallest stone in patience sling.

Reached by no sound, either joyous or drcsr,

With Idle scorn Of what the year might

In bright, delusiVe fairylGnds to stray,

feet show, and the importer assured me
that it was a model gown and that it
would be a great favorite. The under
portion of the skirt consisted Of two
knife plated ruff1es, each four inches
odeep. Above these there was an over
skirt cut with great round tabs, which
fell over the ruf1es. These tabs had
ruf1es all around them, and above the
ruff1es were three milliner's folds of
satin to match the silk in shade. Be-
sides these there were three clusters of
folds around the skirt, seven, five and
three folds in the clusters. The waist
was full and gathered into belt and
on the shoulders there was stiff and
wide collar nearly covered with fine
folds, and the whole bordered with a
knife plating. The sleeves were puffs,
ending just below the elbow with stiff
upturned cuffs The whole gown was SO
stiff that it fairly balanced as the young
''trier on'' walked slowly up and down
the room.
That was one style. In another quite
as fashionable place there was a gown
for young girl for her coming out days.
This was of fine white chudda cash
mere. The skirt hung from the waist in
severe unbroken lines. It was full with
out having the appearance of being SO.
Down the front of the skirt there was
one flat band Of black guipure insertion
over baby blue satin ribbon. The belt
was made in the same way. The waist
was baby with three lines of the
ribbon and insertion. The neck was cut
half low and simply piped with the
blue. The sleeves were elbow puffs,
| with three rows of insertion down from
the shoulders. There was no finish at
the elbows. What pretty and maiden
| ~ dress this was I despair of making
any one understand. Chudda cashmere
is rather stiff and hairy to the touch,
but the folds would delight an artist. It
comes in dull frosty, pale grayish blue,
impossible to exactly describe, in mel
