If there is any discrepancy we are
willing to furnish the mules and land
to make it up.
The old party papers are welcome to
all they can get out of the forty acres
of land and mule" argument.
There are in the United States 1864
900 farms $500. If these gifts to the
three classes of corporations
mentioned above had been dis
tributed among the actual farmers
in the United States each would have
received the equivalent in value, not
of forty acres and a mule" but Of
ninety acres and nearly two mules.
The above figures and comparisons
also show that the three great propo-
sitions confronting the people are
finance, transportation and land.
This process of ROBBERY has been go
ing on for forty years, and every act
has been passed under the specious
plea of honesty or the public good.
And the people have been deceived by
such pleas so often that when they are
now raised by the same class of men
they may be looked upon as evidence of
another plot on hand to rob the wealth
producers.
Nothing less than thorough smash
ing of the old party machines and q
cleaning of the Augean stables will
sver restore this government back to its
original purity.

The average amount Of national

would amount to $14,000,000. For thir-
ty years 1t would amount to 100000

said "forty acres and mule" it would

Marriage.

Sometimes it is the wise words of
an infant that impress us more than
those carefully thought out by the
sage. Therefore we quote the words
of the most innocent of mothers who
has in charge beautiful daughter:
al will not interfere with her mar
3iage. though I do not exactly APP
prove of the man she has chosen.
All have to abide by the fate
they mako for themselves. I would
have preferred some one else, but
her heart has decided for her, and
Cupid, after all, is the best judge"
Mothers, sisters, friends, take this
lesson to heart You will never be
thanked if you interfere, and no
matter whether marriage turns
cut we'll or i'll the adviser, the third
iDarty, is seldom considered. Advice
i7n business may go-in love it does
mot count. Remember this and save
yourself time and annoyance by

Tempted by the Stamps.

I once talked with a man who had
served a term in prison for embez-
Element. He said that the first step
in his downfall was the stamp draw
er The clerks in that store, as in
many, if not in most stores, helped
themselves to stamps from this
drawer for their private letters, u.s.
ing the firms stationery also. What
more natural than that they should
take a few more stamps if they were
ordering some trife by mail? Hav-
ing made this start and seeing no
trouble therefrom, how easy it was
to take a larger amount when a
more expensive article was wanted
The step from the dollars worth of
stamps to the dollar itself was not a
very long one, and then to larger
amounts, followed at length by dis
covery and prison! This was the
mans story, and it set me to think

Where to Plant WatermeIons.

Several young farmers were dis
cussing the raising of watermelons,
says a correspondent of the New
York Post. Many opinions were ex-
pressed as to the most desirable soil,
the best seed, the best fertilizer and
the like, and finally one of the group
acoosted an aged colored man who
happened to pass. The question was
stated, and the young man said:
''Come now, Uncle Winter, what
is your opinion about all this? You
must have made many a fine crop
in your time"
The old mans eyes twinkled. He
took off his hat, scratched his gray
wool and answered:

ODDITIES OF DRESS.
Rational characteristics of the Attire of
European Women.

National characteristics of the Attire OF
European Women.
It is strange that whereas in every
country of Europe, among the high
Or classes as well as among the peas
antry, a distinctive popularity of
costume exists, there is absolutely
nothing Of the kind in North Amer
lea. The newness of the country
does not explain this, as in South
American states, which are younger
shan our nation, national costume
is the rule.
The Russian kakochnik" is one
of the most charming articles of
adornment in Europe. Itoriginated
among the Muscovite peasant wom-
en-, but has been adopted during this
century by the ladies of the court,
who have elaborated it into red
velvet cap embroidered in precious
stones. It is worn with the red vel
vet court mantle and jeweled stom-
. acher brought out on state occasions,
and more than outrivals the plumes
and veil worn at the English court
The Spanish mantilla is we'll
known and has been somewhat vul-
CARRIED on the comic stage. The ma
tional dress OF Roumania has escaped
that fate. Carmen Sylvia always
wears it when at home. 1t consists
of white linen sleeveless garment
made with as few folds as possible
and somewhat resem bling the Egyp-
tian tfellaheen. It is thickly en-
broidered in a cross stitch arabesque
in bright red, sky blue, orange, vel
low and black silk, intermingled
with gold and silver threads, band
Of similar embroidery enciroling the
waist, with streamers of colored rib
bon falling therefrom in simmer
ing cascade. The hair is braided in
four plaits loosely tied with chains
of sequins and the feet are incased
in crimson kid slippers strewn with
seed pearls.
In Poland princesses and peasants
wear around their threats several
rows of huge coral beads, and so
loath to part with these supposed
bringers of good luck are they that
when a grande dame is arrayed for
ball and is obliged to put on pearls
and diamonds she carries her coral
beads in her pocket
In Austria Hungary is found the
greatest divergence in the matter of
costume. The garb of the Hungarian
peasant is SO fetching that the
wealthy ladies copy itwhen on their
estates. Tt consists of short puffy
skirt of crimson and yellow, a small
sleeveless velvet bodice imprisoning
a snowy shirt, stiffly starched and
embroidered in contrasting colors,
and an artistically knotted head
scarf from under which escapes a
thick braid of hair entwined with
colored ribbons.
In the plains of Provence and in
the Normandy lands the wealthy
still cling to their little lace cap, the
intrinsic value of which is some
times inestimable, made as they are
of rare point lace fastened down
with quantity chased golden pins,
heirlooms in families. New York |
