SPECIAL ELECTION.

The city council has called special
election to vote upon the question of
issuing $40 900 of city bonds, to run
ten years, the proceeds OF which are to
be devoted to paying the Judgment re-
centlh secured by Charles Ramsey on
the past due bonds for the Little Falls
and Dakota railroad.
The question ut issue. and the only
one, is whether he city will issue ten
wear bonds for the purpose. or will III
addition to the usual levy of about two
debt in cash. This would make tax
for next year OF about four and q half
per cent. There are a number OF tax
payers who favor this method, preterring
to paw the debt and get rio of it, al
though the burden would be heavy.
Other tax PAYERS tavor the extension of
the debt by issuing bonds, upon the
ground that the times are hard, and
that it is only just that the rising gem
Grafton contribute share to the inn
provements which they inherit.
The HERALD is of the opinion that a
middle course would be better than
either, providing it would be possible
to negotiate Oh equally good terms a
series of bonds which might be, i'll part
or in whole, paid at any time within the
rem wears limit-an before bond
This would give al opportunity to make
a small levy of say two or four mills in
any year when it would be least felt.
and yet would not compel any such levy.
Or any surplus money available in the
treasury could be used for the purpose
OF liquidating a part OF the debt.
The proposition will come before the
voters on Nav / 5th, at which time the
matter will be determined at the polls
as bet ween a single levy or extension.

Unmarried American Women.

1t appears that in 1890 the number OF
women of all ages in the United States
was 80. 554,37O, of whom II, 1S3, 9oS, or
81. "a per cent, were single. The lmpor-
tant fact for our present purpose is the
number or percentage of manageable
women who are, in fact, not married. 1t
is found that about 10 per cent marry
before the age of 20 and very few be.
fore Is The unmarried are made up or
maids widows and divorced persons, the
last of which classes is so small that IL
need scarcely be considered for the pres
ent purpose. Omitting the actual num-
bers and using percentages only, the re-
turns show that between the ages or ~
and 25 about SO per cent were without
husbands; between % and 30, about 70
per cent; between 30 and 40, about ~
per cent After this the number OF Wild
ows increases so rapidly that from 45 to
% the unmarried amount to 26 per cent,
and of women over So years OF age only
a little over 80 per cent have husbands.
Nearly 6 per cent of all women never
marry, about 10 per cent OF those be-
tween the ages Of 80 and As had not yet
married, and more than one-fourth OF
those between the ages OF 20 and ~
were still unmarried Brooklyn Eagle.

A Room to Low BrOwed Women.

the hats which have been SO long popu-

are particularly disadvantageous to this
style of hairdressing, the forehead

Care of Children.

"My children frequently go through
an entire winter without the sign of a
cold" said mother the other day,
land | attribute their immunity largely
to my insistence that they shall not run
about in their bare feet. All children
like to do this. both at night, after they
are ready for bed, and in the morning
before they are dressed. Few things are
more directly conducive to cold than
this chilling of the feet, and to guard
against it provide the crocheted bed
room slippers for each child. 1t took
vigilance and constant reiteration to
teach them to wear them every time
their shoes and stockings were dotted,
but they are trained now and they slip
their bare feet into the worsted shoes in
stinctively and invariably. Warm and
dry feet in winter are the best prevent
i've of colds that has been yet found. -

Dress Your Hair. Carefully.

It is fashionable just now to dress the
hair in undulating waves and to brush 1t
over the ears at the sides. A few little,
soft Diana" curls are allowed to rest
ON the forehead but the hair is almost
invariably slightly parted in the mid
die. A good deal of discretion is neces-
sary in dressing the hair to adapt 1t TO
each individual type of face Long, thin
faces should not have the hair dressed
too high, as this accentuates the length
of the face. Round, short faces should
have the couture piled in fluffy curls on
the top of the head, and little butterfly
bow or fancy pin set at just the correct
angle will often have very modifying
effect upon the angularity OF features
Much latitude is permitted in hairdress-
ing fashions, however, and every woman
should take advantage OF this latitude
and adopt tho distinctive style which is
best suited to her features. 1t is better
even to sacrifice little thigh style
than to dress one S hair in fashionable
way totally unsuited to one's type OF
face. New York Recorder.
