MAKE FRIENDS.

There is No use in making ene>
mics. Life is too short to cherish
malice or cnmity any way. A man
is unhappy who makes enemies.
Make friends. 1t is easy to do
when you set your heart on the
task. Anybody whose friendship is
worth having can be won by an up
right and manly course of conduct.
If you disagree with man, you can
avoid the subject in dispute, and
still remain friends.
The man who cultivates a sust
picious disposition and imaglnes
that every fellow he meets is trying
to undermine him or get the best
of him, is never happy. Itstrength-
ems some men to trust them. AS
long as you show that you suspect
them of evil intentions, the tempta-
ton to do wrong is almost irresisti-
bic. But if you show a man that
you have confidence in him his own
manhood comes to his rescue and
upholds him in the hour of tempta~
ton.
1t is good idea to make a friend
wherever you can. 1t is the pleas
ATTEST occupation in life. Meet
your fellow man with smile and a
cheerful ,Ford. Stretch out your
.hand to him and show him that you
feel an interest in his we'll being.
1t requires little effort and the re-
suits are beyond human calculation.
Many friend, gained by smile, a
word or gesture proves a support
and stay in the time of direct need.

A Nebraska woman the other day
told in a religious meeting how she
had put aside her diamonds and
other jewels because she thought it
uagodly to wear them. During the
recital she mentioned that she had
left all of her fnery on a dresser
when she left home to attend
church. When she got back home
she discovered that somebody had
broken into the house and stolen all
of the jewels. Later it was learned
that the thief haG been present at
the church service and heard the

AS leap year will not come again
tor eight years there seems to be a
disposition among the more inter,
ested sex to make the most of the
present opportunity. Leap year
cluos are forming in many parts OF
the country. The genera idea of
the clubs is to give private social
parties at which the girls take the
part usually taken by men. They
invite the young men, call for them,
and escort them to and from the
place where the function is held,
and, it is alleged, foot the bills.

A church congregation down in
Sanders, KY, was dismissed most
summary under unpleasant cir>
cumstances two Sundays since.
Right in the middle OF the preach
er's discourse there bolted into the
church through the half-open door
what appeared to be black and
white cat, closely followed by yell
low dog. Cat and dog ran swiftly
down the middle aisle to the plat
form. The preacher, taken un-
awares, did the natural thing, kicked
at the cat, hit it, aud landed it
squarely in the middle OF the con-
gregation. Then it turned out that
the cat was a skunk.

ST. Vitus' Dance Checked-A Loving
Daughter Saved.

Daughter Saved.
From the Kansas City, No, Jourhcll
The following possesses an interest 70 the
Journal and its readers, because the case
is of great value from medical point of view,
and further because it is sworn to and its
truth absolutely proven. The case described
is that Of the daughter of L. L. Darbor OF
Edgerton, Kan, who being duly sworn on
oath deposes and says:
1898, my daughter BERTHE, aged Is years, be-
came afflicted with q nervous disease which
grew upon her to such an extent that it Sc
riously interfered with her studies, and
aroused the gravest fears that it would de-
velop into st. Vitus dance. NV daughter
became so nervous that she would drop her
knife and fork while eating, and would at
times be seized with nervous twitchings
which excited the alarm Of myself and wife.
About this time my wife read in a news
paper of a wonderful cure Of the same disease
effected by DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. So strongly was | impressed with
the facts set forth in the testimonial that
wrote to ascertain the authenticity 81 the case
Receiving a reply which completely satisfied
me, sent for box of the pills
From the very first dose a marked i'm
provement in my daughters condition was
noticed. She had become thin and etccs-
sively pale, as is common to sufferers from
nervous diseases, and her weight had de-
creased to an alarming extent. After q
careful and thorough trial Of the pills she not
only began to grow less nervous but ul1o be-
gan to gain flesh.
1t is needless 10 say, that I was both sur.
prised and delighted with the wonderful
change brought about by the first box Of the
pills. She is a new girl. and all the symp.
toms of her disease have disappeared Dir.
Williams Pink Pills have certainly wrought
a wonderful and complete cure, and can
say nothing too good in their favor But
now she is away on visit, something she
would not have thought Of being able to do
three months ago. From being shrinking.
morbid and timid she has become strong.

having been afflicted with any nervous troG-

VoEt and Huxley.

Like Huxley, his English proto.
type, Vogt was also an admirable
lecturer. Vogt never allowed the
opportunity of pun to escape him,
and his bonmots were at times
hardly more elegant than they were
appropriate, but, for all that, he was
very popular, and equally so with
the few women students of his class
as with the men. He spoke in
French with decided German in
tonation, frequently relieving him
self of sigh brought about by an
uncomfortably asthmatic condition.
His powerful bodily frame, dispro-
portionably shortened through a
generous development of tissue
about the equatorial region, was in
marked contrast to the tall and
nearly upright carriage of Professor
Huxley, whose slightly STOPPING
head and shoulders reduced some
what what might otherwise have
been considered a more than average
height. Huxley never entered the
class lecture room except in a dress
in which he was Immediately pre-
pared to go to the street; Vogt rare
ly appeared without a coat which did
not in one or more places show visi-
BILE signs of underlying shirt sleeves.

METHODS OF ADVERTISING.
Some Valuable Suggestions to the
Retail Merchants for Dull Seasons.
From the Dry Gocds Chronicle

From the Dry Gocds Chronicle
How 70 advertise successfully in
dull times for a general retail store
is a difficult subject to decide. 1t
is at the same time subject upon
which there is a great diversity of
opinion.
By dull times we mean the sea-
sons of the year when trade is not
usually 80 brisk as it is at other
times At these times some mer-
chants largely increase their adver-
Using expenditures. Others con-
tinue about the same as in busy
times. Business discretion should,
of course,..be used by all, but as a
rule those who do the most adver-
Using at these times have the best
OF the argument and can bring up
more good reasons to support their
side thar the others.
If the purpose is to draw trade
then why not advertise when you
need trade the most? OF course
this rule..is subject to the surround
ings and the circumstances. We
realize that in dull times it is harder
to bring people to the store, but
that is one reason why more adver>
Using should be used or better ad.
vertisepents should be used, for it
is not always necessary 70 extend
ones space where the same result
may be accomplished by using the
same space in making the adver-
tisement attractive.
II possible, in dull seasons. more
inducements should be held out to
the customer than in brisk seasons.
| More care should be used in select
ing articles to be advertised and
more thought should be given to
advertisements to bring trade to
your store.
| Advertising, to large extent, is
cumulative in its benefits, for the
value of present advertising depends
largely upon what has been done
before. III you discontinue adver-
Using entirely you are leaving ont
some of the bricks in the wall which
you are constructing and will lose o
large portion of the benefits of ac'
cumulative advertisements when
you'begin again, there having been q
disconnection in what you did before
and that which you now intend tc
do.
1t is poor policy ever to stop ad.
vertising altogether. In dull times
if the amount expended must be
decreased, more care than ever
should be used in the preparation
Of the advertisements. When the
fish is harder to catch be- more care.
full in selecting your bait.
The way to advertise is an impor-
tant point to consider. In dull
times make your offerings just as
attractive as you know how, and
advertise seasonable goods, such as
will be of immediate use. tbs hard
enough to sell unreasonable goods
when people buy freely, but it is
much harder to push them in I'M
favorable times.

 The monster cable shown in the ac- companying picture was one of the most interesting objects at the recent exhibi- ton at the Convention all in St. Louis. h is fac-simile of one of the biggest, longest and heaviest cables ever made in one continuous length. The wagon on which it was hauled is what is called the Jumbo wagon" itself weighing 14,0oo pounds, with capacity of 175,- 900 pounds. The body of the wagon is of steel girders, with wooden floor, and the tread of the wheels is 12 inches. The wagon sets low, making it more easy to load and unload There have been hauled on this wagon over 40 cables without single mishap.
 In the rear of the wagon are kept two hydraulic jacks, always in place; and should the wagon sink into rut or hole the jacks are immediately brought into play, thereby saving considerable time. The tongue is extra heavy, and is en- cased on every side with steel plates Double trees are so arranged that four horses are used abreast, and eight horses pull directly on the tongue of the wagon. Under the tongue runs heavy wire rope, connected with shackles, so that all the horses beyond the first eight pull directly on tie wegon and not on the tongue.
 There are in all just 40 horses assa .s3 drivers.
 This load was pulled up paved stree with g. slight grade; when the dirt roa

or silk with some chine effect, is good. Buy the silk in gaslight, and remember that contrasting ribbons or lace often, transform an unbeco1ning material into most bewitching ceRfection.
 Chiffon is always good, and just now may be bought for about 30 cents a. yard It may be made up over a fine, sateen of some delicate shade, thus. keeping the expense down.
 A pretty bodice of light blue brocaded silk is loosely pulled over tight-ft-. ting lining. From the neck down, both, front and back, two V's are formed by narrow rows of bead trimming. This trimming is made of yellow glass beads and was picked up at a bargain counter for five cents a yard. The sleeves are. plain and tight-ftting, falling with eerise velvet cuffs over the hand. The. eorselet belt and the stock collar are, also of the velvet.
 Another model, and one which will be more serviceable, is of black chif- ion, laid over bright green sateen. The bodice is fulled both front and back; the sleeves are mousquetaire, with small full puff at the top.
 The character of the bodice, however, is introduced in the bands of green rib bon, which are added to form a corse- let, and in the collar, in the bows at the back of the neck, on the shoulders and at the belt.
 Even with people who are really in society it has been the custom to use
  old materials in making up ball gowns. An old skirt, toe shabby for other wear can be sponged and pressed and used for the foundation of ball gown. O. course, it must be of some materia light in both weight and color The skirt will probably not be of the correct cut, but that can easily be arranged. Any darts over the hip should be taken away and the fullness carried back i.Care should be taken, however, not to stretch the front of the skirt too much Having finished the undersllirt and prepared a bodice lining, they may be draped with any sheer material-tulle chiffon, mousseline, daintily coiored null, or tarletan-but in doing so great care must be exercised. The bodice should be slightly bloused in front, but the fullness atthe back and sides should be snugly laid in place.
 Thick ruches of the same material form the prettiest trimming for girl ish ball gown They trim the bottom of the skirt and are arranged about the decoiletage. One pretty gown has two rows about the bottom, with choux o1 the material fastened in diagonal rows upon the skirt. Turquoise velvet IS in troduced sparingly on the waist, ane gloves of the same color gre 10 be worr with the gowT.

 In cutting a coat rever. take into con sideFation the high, close collar now fashionable. Ii will at cree be seen that the three-cornered. dropping rever would nave no air if used with such a collar.
 The new rever has four coyners and is almost perfect oblong It starts directly under the collar, in front where the coat is fastened. From there it spreads across, ending just beyond the sleeve seam.
 pretty gown. showing the new rever to perfection, is of grass green cloth. The skirt is narrow, with outstanding plaits in the back. and has trimming we'll worthy of duplication.
 Circles of fawn cloth are arranged in diagonal rows around the center of the skirt and are trimmed and con. nected with black braid, making skirt decoration which is perhaps one of the most unique in New York.
 The bodice is equally chic It is se- Yerely plain, save for fawn cloth revers. such as are described above. Smaller pointed revers are set above them, and a high fawn collar flares about the neck.
 The sleeves arc. small leg-o'-mutton, with trimming around the puff corre- spending to that on the skirt. The en- tire gown is typical of up-to-datem modes and may easily be copied by the ann ateHr dressmaker. Some of the novelty goods in small designs, which can be secured at so low figure, could be used in the designing of this gown The cir cles and revers should then be made of brilliantine
 No matter how limited her ward robe, every girl likes to add a few touches to her gown when Jack or Har- " takes her to the play. If she goes frequently she will find 1t a good plan to have one fancy bodice made for even ing functions. This bodice may be put on with any skirt, and she will always appear dressed up.
 The material should be carefully se- lected.. There are nsny fancy silks on the market which can be bought for from 25 to 50 cents yard, but many of them are quite undesirable. As rule, unless exceptionally attractive, flower sprigged silk is not to be recommended \ plain color, with a brocaded design,
