hanging extremely full, holds it's own.
The only novelty is the box pleated
back which our example shows in its
most favored form.
This model is seen in both sepa-
rate skirts Of rich material to be
worn with coat basques and blouse
waists, and as part of costumes Of
one material either in combination
with jackets for street wear or waists
for indoor use.
Despite its long vogue black satin
is much used. Handsome crepons
also are chosen for separate skirts.
Plaids cut very well after this design
and are much worn, it is also very
desirable for stamped goods, show
ing no seams.
The pleats in the back are formed
by separate cores, the seams being
hidden under the folds. The front
is seamless, being cut circular it is
not necessary to have darts at the
top.
The only stiffening now used in
skirts, and even this is often omitted,
is five to ten inch facing of hair
cloth, wirene canvas or crinoline
around the bottom. The skirt should
be lined throughout, the lining being
cut exactly like the goods.
This Pattern is No. 1857, and is
cut in six sizes for 90 to 30 inch
waist measure. A medium size re-
qulres about five yards of A inch
goods.

Mothers Take Heed,

Robert Graham, the celebrated
Anglo-American temperance agita-
tor, said the other day: 81 do not
suppose it is too much to claim that
there is not a person living who had
had more to do with boys and young
men than my self. And | dare to
assert that boy should be most Pc
culisrly guarded and guided between
the years of fourteen and twenty-one.
They form the time when he is at
once most impressionable and most
susceptible. What he is at twenty
one he will be at fifty, at seventy.
Those years are the golden ones for
the mothers opportunity

Hired Swains.

A curious custom prevails in some
provinces of Holland during the car.
nival season. Young women of the
working class, especially domestic
servants, who have no sweetheart of
their own, are in the habit of hiring
followers for their Sunday out or
for the whole of the carnival period.
These lovers are by no means to be
had very cheap. Often two or three
maids will club together and share
a lover among them, if he comes to
expensive for one girl.
This temporary lover has many
duties to perform. Of course, he
must be good looking and well
drNssed-::'tt to be seen with any,
where" He must likewise possess
good conversational powers. Besides
receiving a variety of valuable pres
ents from his girls he is "fouud"
by them in victuals and drink. If
q young woman can afford to engage
. "swalu" all to herself go much the
bstter, for the hireling often devel-
ops in'o II real lover, and ultimately
into hu band. 1t can thus be said
that in some districts of Holland the
girls do all the wooing.

1t is only about a decade since an
American lady of high social stand
ing was asked by some educated peo.
pie in England whether women tea
chers in America ranked with ladies
or with working women. Her reply,
"With ladies, certainly" occasioned
good deal of surprise. A relative
OF Theodore Parker's wife who dis
liked him, used to taunt him with
having taught school. She said to
him on one occasion: "My father
told me always to avoid a school
master,' to which Parker replied
gently, 'It is evident you have
obeyed him."

NECESSITIES
You can now get the best at
Standard Prices, and a part
Of the Money you pay
forit goes to heIu
the Cause Of
Reform.

A plain, legitimate plan has been de-
vlsed. by which much can be done
without adding to ordinary domestic
expenses. l.et every refOrmer read
and recommend the plan.
Acknowled dgements from leading
PopuiIsts all over the country have
come to US to the effect that the scheme
OF the Peoples Supply Co, of Balti-
more, IS brilliant and its possibilities
grand if it only can be made to work.
1t Is working. 1t is already support-
ing Feformers in the field and is max
ing money. 1t is now establishing
headquarters in various States and or
ganlzlng an army of speakers and
workers for the cause.
THE SIMPLE PLAN.
The simple plan of this great enter
prise is this: The Peoples Supply Co.
Is an incorporated body and is manu-
featuring various staple and package
articles of most common .cOpsumption
which Populists in all parts Of the
Country are buying and will continue
10 use. The reasons why Populists
buy these goods in preference to 9th
ers OF 3 different manufacture are sew
eral. ALL the profits on ALL the goods
manufactured and sold by this Com
pany go to the Populist cause. Popu-
lists nave implicit confidence that the
teoples supply Co. is thoroughly reIi-
able and furnishes only the purest and
most wholesome articles the market
affords. There is no fear Of aduItera-
tion for profits. In the third place
every thing this company places upon
the market is accompanied with the
choicest gems Of Populist literature.
In this way every package becomes
messenger of light, a carrier of Truth
20 the darkest noJks and corners Of So
ciety. ....
GOODS NOW On THE MARKET.
The goods hat the Peoples Supply
90. has already placed upon the mar
ket and which are already meeting
with large sale are Starch, Baking
Powder, Soap, Cigars, Shoe Backing.
Shoe Polish. aud the four staple house
hold medicines, Sarsaparilla, Iron
Tonic, Liniment or Pain Killer, and
Liver Pills. E .---

From Harper's Weeklyl
How difficult is the law. One who
knows the law must know how to
choose from its armories a spear to
pierce its own armor, or a shield
proof against it's spears. The law is
long, and hath no end; it is uncer-
tain unto dumbness; often silent or
ambiguous for che future, yet de-
manding rigorous observance of the
past. 1t is subtle to include the
craft of the ages; sordid, fierce, and
unjust, bound by the precedents of
half-savage times, yet holding latent
within itself all the betterment of
times to come. How difficult is the
law.
Strangely enough, the practice of
the legal profession is often illegal.
| have known two or three lawyers
who succeeded in freeing their
clients and setting them unbound in
the primrose paths of liberty while
they themselves were detained to
walk the thorny paths of bribery
and subornation.
AS class lawyers are unusually
vain, being in this respect as vain
as men in other professions, and
approxlmating to editors and drum
mers.
"The law" say the lawyers,
"sharpens the perceptions, cultivates
the Judgment, and opens the mind
to reason and argument
1t is the pet sophistry of lawyers
that they are enabled by their spec
ial training to look upon both sides
of question. When lawyers fall to
telling you of their unbiased minds,
you will have to ask them to 60 slow
ly on account of the excitement.
But, in fact, lawyers see merit on
only one side, and that is their own
side. That their side deserves the
verdict they have an absolute belief.
Its true that in addressing judge or
jury they employ such magnificent
rhetoric that you think their belief
is affected and assumed, but it is in
fact real. Every lawyer thinks he
should win, if not on his case, then
on his almost sinfil1y ingenious way
Of presenting it.
1t is said that the pursuit of the
law makes fair man, bnt fairness
law and lawyers think little of. So
little, indeed, that if a lawyer should
attempt to introduce evidence to show
the righteousness, and even holiness,
of his cause, opposing counsel would
Immediately object to it as trifliDg
and immaterial. The Judge would
sustain them, saying, "It is not per-
tinent."
81 understand that, your Honor -
the lawyer might say. 81 wish to
throw in the righteousness of my
case merely as makeweight."
''That will not do," the Judge
would sternly reply. 81 cannot listen
to extraneous matters. If you have
no crafty evasion of the law or in
genious subterfuge to bring forward,
you will be adjudged in contempt
for pretending to occupy the time of
this court"

TOmmy's Cat.

Tommy had a cat that he liked
very much, and he used to play with
her a great deal. They had very
nice times together. But one day,
when he was about five years old, he
came running into the house baw-
ling at the top of his voice.
"Why, Tim, what's the matter"
asked grandma.
Tim held up his hand-and very
dirty little hand it was, too-and
showed long, red scratch on it.
"The cat-boo- -hoo!-kicked me-"
he said.
So grandma got a rag and some
salve, and bound the hand up.
'There, Tim don't cry any more" :"
she said. "Why, l heard of a boy

Taken In Time
Hoods Sarsaparilla has achieved
great success 10 warding off sickness,
which, if allowed to progress, would
have undermined the whole system
and given disease strong foothold
to cause much suffering and even
threaten death. Hoods Sarsaparil)a
has done all this and even more. It
has been taken in thousands of cases
which we're thought to be incurable,
and after a fair trial has effected
wonderful cures, bringing health,
strength and joy to the afflicted.
Another important point about
Hoods Sarsaparilla is that its cures
are permanent, because they start
from the solid foundation of puri-
tied, vitalized and enriched blood.
But it is not what We say but what
Hoods Sarsaparilla does that tells
the story.
