While Dun's weekly review reports OF

says that "the senate still Injuries al

Now Dun's weekly review says that the
senate is still injuring all business by

done nothing 10 relieve the situation;
the house speedily passed the relief

relief was, and is, needed. The deficit is
steadily increasing. The revenue Is FAR

the administration has issued another
bond call under the old law which pro-
vides for a higher interest rate aud longer

America's Need of Cavalry.

Discussing the possibilities of war
with England, and the strength of the
United States militia or national guard,
some of our newspapers lately boosted
that an army of 100000 men could be
thrown into Canada within a few
weeks. How many of these men would
be mounted on horseback? 1t is a very
pertinent inquiry, for it requires from
three to six months training to make
a cavalryman, and some of the states
which furnish large contingents to the
national guard have not a single troop
of horses. If there is any lesson that
the failure of the confederacy can teach
us, it is this: that an invasion of
Canada-and ! do not mean that such
thing is in the least probable or de-
sirable-made without sufficient caval-
ry would be as barren of permanent
results as it would he if made with an
army of observation-disclosures Rose,

WOKE UP THE COMPANY.
Pushed the Only Button He Could See
and Could Not BE Blamed.

An amusing adventure recently fell
to the lot of an old gentleman in a
northern town. He was asked to buy
ticket for tireman's ball, and good
naturally complied.
The next question was what to do
with it, He had two servants, either of
whom would be glad to use it, but he
did not wish to show favoritism. Then
it occurred to him that he might buy
another ticket and give both his serv-
ants pleasure.
Not knowing where the tickets were
sold, he inquired of a policeman, and
the officer suggested that he should go
to the fire brigade station. SO the old
gentleman went to the station that
evening, but found no one in sight.
He had never been in such place be-
fore, and stood for moment or two UNI
certain how to make his presence
known. Presently he saw an electric
button on the side of the wall, and he
put his thumb on it.
The effect was electrical in every
sense of the word. Through the cell
ing, GOWN llle stairs anu from every
other direction fremen came running
and falling, the horses rushed out of
their stalls, and, in short, all the ma
chinery of a modern engine house was
instantly set in motion.
Amid this uproar stood the innocent
old gentleman, who did not suspect
that he had touched the fire alarm until
the men clamored around him for in
formation as to the locality of the fire.
Then he said, mildly:
81 should like to buy another ticket
for the ball, if you please"
The situation was so ludicrous that
there was a shout of laughter and the
old gentleman bought his ticket and the
place resumed its former quiet.-Week-
ly Telegraph.

A FAVORITE TINT.
with FROST in the Air Golden Brown Ia
the True Autumn Color

Soft shades of brown always spring
into favor at the first frost; perhaps
because it is harmonious with the fad
ing leaves, and perhaps because there
is so much warmth in the color. A
lovely gown of this color prepared for
a well-knoWn leader of fashion at Bryn
Mawr has the skirt made of soft can
vas cloth in the most beautiful, warm
shade of golden brown, over crimson
satin, showing beautifully through the
meshes.
narrow rope or cord of crimson
velvet outlined every seam of the grace
fully-gored skirt. The bodice had
body of golden brown mousseline de
sole, drawn in soft fulIness over a lining
of the crimson satin, and brought into
belt of twisted crimson, finished with
a knot directly in front
An odd collarettc of appliqued tan
figures on groundwork of golden
brown mousseline de sole sets over the
bust and the tops of the sleeves, then
down the front into the belt. 1t is
most effective finish to the bodice A
thick ruche of golden brown null sets
off the neck.
The sleeves are narrow-topped leg
o'-muttons, finished in point at the
hand. Golden brown and white COM
bine daintily. A smart gown with this
combination shows a boX-plaited skirt
and boX-plaited blouse. The entire
under side of the plaits is of white
taffeta. The effect is wonderfully
pretty when the skirt opens like fan
revealing the stripes OF white. Short
jackets of brown velvet are worn with
tailor-made skirrs Of lighter tone of
brown with striking effects.-Chicago

STORM HYPNOTISM.
London Writer Tells of His Strange
Experience in Paris.

The recent disastrous cyclone in
Paris, which was one of the first of the
kind ever experienced in that city, has
opened up a discussion on the subject
hitherto but little investigated, the
mesmeric or hypnotic influence of
storms.
1t is we'll known that birds and other
animals are often restless and disquiet-
cd before an earthquake or a severe
storm, and there is every reason to sup
pose that they perceive the prelim-
mary tremors and air vibrations be-
fore they are felt by man.
A correspondent of a London daily
describes the experience of himself and
his wife in Paris as illustrative of the
impressions to which highly strained
and nervous organizations are subject
under certain conditions of atmos-
pheric or electric disturbance. The
night before the storm they went to
the theater. The atmosphere was
sitting; it was almost impossible to
breathe. They both experienced a
dead, duh depression on the brain,
that can only be described as the symp-
toms of semi-inebriety.
They went dinncrless and supperless
to bed and slept, unconscious of every
thing. In the morning the woman was
seriously i'll. Her lips ard skin were
burning. She could not swallow, and
could scarcely articulate. The pupils
of her eyes were dilated, the whites
were veined and almost jet black. She
had every symptom of narcotic poison
ing. By dint of great courage she re-
covered somewhat and they sat in the
courtyard of their hotel while the cy-
clone ragged, feeling it, but seeing moth
ing of its terrors. They started for
their English home on the night boat.
The writer says that he went daZed into
the car and fell asleep instantly. He
has no recollection of the trip across
the channel, being in a stupor all the
way.
He left London soon after to go
down into the country. He says: Il
slept in the train, and | have gone on
sleeping every few minutes ever since.
The cyclone was on Thursday. 1t is
NV Sunday, and I am as sleepy as an
owl; but gradually the mcsmeric inhu-
ence of the storm is fading away.
"The hypnotism of the cyclone is
decreasing. The into!erable pressure
Of the brain is getting less acute, but
there still remain that awful burning
pain and the ache over the eyeballs
from which we have suffered SO long.
What has happened to us? VIII sci
entists eXplain?"-St. Louis Republic.

For Cooler Autumn DAYS.

Convenient clonks of cloth, mohair
or heavy silk to match the gown are
worn for the early fall.
Among the stylish little capes for
evening wear is one of chiffon plaitings
and finish of ostrich tips or rosettes
of chiffon aud bows of satin ribbon
around the neck.
The favorite jacket seems to be the
"empire;" at least it is the newest. 1t
is made of covert cloth for practical use
and trimmed with braids or stitching.
Some of the latest gowns made for

The saloon and the home are historic
enemies. They stand with drawn
swords. The one is utterly and terribly
against the other. 1t always will be
so. One shapes young manhood and
womanhood. The other debauche
them. One stands for purity, the other
for uncleanness. One is the dwelling
place of peace, the other a den of vice
and discord. One sends out benedic.

TREATMENT OF INEBRlATEs.
Methods Employed in Austria Apparently
Prove inadequate.

Prove Inadequate.
Facts and figures of the highest i'm
portance in their bearing on the treat
ment of inebriates are given in a recent
number of the British Medical Journal.
1t appears from the showing made in
this publication, which may be relied
upon to speak without prejudice, that
the attempts to cure drunkenness by
methods followed in inebriate asylums
has been largely a failure. The opin-
ions of experts on this point are cited.
Thus Dr.. Adalbert Irkawsky, director
OF the State asylum at Ybbs, Austria,
lays down the following conclusions as
the result of his observations: l. The
cure of alcoholic mental cases, though
rapid. is not permanent, owing to the
tendency to relapse and inability to re-
sISt temptations to drinking 2. The
reiapses are largely brought about by
q desire to obtain comfortable board
and lodgings at the public expense. 3.
The free" treatment of lunatics is IN
suited to drunkards, giving them OPP
pcrtunities of procuring liquor. A. In
the first stages drunkards are only
morally defective, not mad. 5. Mix
ing drunkards, who are often sane,
with lunatics is bad for the latter, al
coholics being generally degenerate,
but otherwise sane, and therefore hav-
ing a bad influence on the insane. SO
unmistakable has been the failure of
the treatment of inebriates in lunatic
asylums in Austria, that the minister
of justice has proposed a bill in the
Reichsrath empowering the state, the
province and the districts to establish
public asylums for inebriates, all such
institutions. to be under state inspec-
ton, and to provide divisions for in
ehriates in penal establishments for
compulsory labor. These asylums,
which are not to be allowed to take non
alcoholic cases, are for persons judicial
ly convicted three times of drunkenness
in one year, and for persons who have
not sufficient self-command to resist
the temptation to drink, or who through
drinking endanger the moral, physical
or financial security of themselves or
their relatives. Voluntary and invol-
untary cases are to be received; vol
untary patients are under the detention
provisions of the involuntary, two years
being the original maximum secluslOn.
a drunkard is to be heard before an or
der is Issued for his detention, and
