The garters which fasten with these
costly buckles are decided things of
beauty in themselves, Many OF them
have much more the appearance of an
up-to-date collar than garter. They
are trimmed with rosettes, butterfly
bows, puffs of lace and jewels.

Modern mothers Of the advanced
school keep their babies out of shoes
as long as possible B9re-footed babies
are a positive fad The longer the day
of shoes is deferred the more perfect
the shape of babies feet and the better
their health. They are harder and
more vigorous the more they are ex-
posed. Even when it becomes abso-
lutely necessary to put shoes on the
little feet it is better to put on chamois
skin or worsted ones than regular kid
Cnes made with hard soles.

IN THE NURSERY.

Babies night dresses should be made
so that there is no possibility of the
small wearers kicking off their cloth
ing. To secure them the gowns should
be made long, with hem wide enough
to admit drawing string by which
the gown may be drawn into bag

Unless a baby is delicate it should
have its constitutional every day in

noon should be spent in the open air

We sell Pianos and Organs as low

Electricity on Aluminium Wire.

1t has been ascertained by expert
ments that an electric current sent
through an aluminium wire heated it to
a temperature of 400 degrees above its
melting point. The marvel was that
it did not drop. This was accounted
for by the fact that the oxidized film
en- its surface was sufficiently strong to
keep it together. A magnet moved
gently about in it's neighborhood caused
it to wave and curve, and to coil and
twist and almost tie itself into knots

Tremendous Odds.

The biggest bet on record, according
to G.. r. Sims, was made few years
back by young American who was as
sistant at "a main" held in the grounds
of a notorious young sporting marquis
now deceased. One bird was badly
crippled and the other was fighting
with terrible force. Twenty thou
sand to a pinch of snuff on that one, y
said the young American millionaire,
which was taken. The American won.

and the turning point is near at
hand, the people are realizing
the fact that they have been de-
luded in this matter and now is
the time to strike. There is an
awakening of courage and every
man should insist that the Unit,
ed States shall have the best pos
sible kind of money in which to
transact all kinds of business;
the laborer shall be paid in the
best money! only; that the wild
ow and the orphans who live on
the interest of the money which
has been left to them shall not
be cheated of half their principal
and interest by having a fifty
cent dollar substituted for a hun
dred cent gold one.
The true benefactOr of today
is the voter who contends for the
maintenance of trade, commerce
and industry, for the just deal
ings of man with his fellow-men
in short for civilization itself
and on November 3rd is the day
when he will show it, by regulat-
ing to oblivion the free silver
craze.
We are confident that the Off
GERS of the state League will CO
operate heartily with the Nation
al League in enabling the cOun-
try to reap the full benefits of
the ardOr and energy which the
Republicans and their patriotic
allies in the Democratic party
have displayed in averting ma
tional dishonOr and thwarting
the designs of the Popocrats and
their anarchistic supporters. But
above all, keep your club on the
alert until the votes are counted
for their is lively fighting along
the whole line and there is abun-
dant work for every club mem
Der until the victory is won.
Above all, let your efforts be di-
rected to polling every Republi-
can vote, and the votes of every
citizen who will act with the par
ty in defending the national hon
or, and defeating the vile
schemes to debase the currency
and thus deprive labor of it's due
reward as well as cOnfscate the
hard earned savings of the peo-
pie.
In a word let there be a gener.
al advance along the whole line.
Let the young Republicans, es-
pecially, resolve to preserve in
violate the sacred heritage that
is involving on them. Let us
work with all our might until
the votes are counted in order
that when the victory is over,
each young man can say with
pride he served in the campaign
of 1896 and helped to elect Will
liam Mckinley.
Please keep in frequent COM
munication with the League
headquarters and offer any sug-
gestions that will be of service
to the common cause. Very Re
spectfully, s. L. HAHN,
President.
