NO LONGER "TRlED ON.u

The New Invention That Saves Women
From Hours at the Dressmakers'.
A clever New York dressmaker has
done away with the ordeal of ''trying
on,'' and the gowns that come from her
establishment are no longer a WEAKNESS
Of the flesh or spirit to the woman who
orders them, for they fit without being
fitted" and there is no "system' of
measure and tape about the matter what
soever. It is merely an ingenious device
patented by this same clever woman of
the needle whereby any clients figure
can be copied from perfect fitting waist
lining or waist and expanded into an
exact mold of every curve, every angle,
every popularity, of the original flesh
and blood form.
This woman discovered that dress
makers systems and trying on were the
trials of womankind. She forthwith
reasoned that the lay figure had not been
useful except for skirt draping, because
Of the manifest inaccuracy of it as ap-
piled to any and every figure. Some wo-
men with "a inch waist had "a inch
bust measure and a length Of side seams
out Of all proportion. Other little wo-
men were short wasted and broad back
ed. Still others were higher in one
shoulder than the other and had unac-
countable hills and hollows in their
anatomy. It was manifestly impossible
that conventional machine lay figure
should be able to assume all the shapes
Of all the women. No, each woman
must have mold Of her own, and an
exact mold, over which bodices could be
as perfectly fitted as on the flesh and
blood woman.
The invention consists Of an artistic
and perfectly fitted waist lining of can
vas, strong, but flexible, and shaped to
every line Of the bodice. Into this lining
is inserted cunning device which ex-
pands it into the exact shape it was
while upon the woman, just as rigid,
just as solid, as if there was the real
anatomy inside Of it, true reproduction
of the figure. -Jenness Miller Monthly.

forced to compete with the products Of
l5silver-nsing countries, our farmers can
not prosper, and SO long as our agricul-
tural classes are impoverished our manu-
facturers cannot prosper. The less our
farmers receive for their produce the less
will they have with which to purchase
manufactured goods, and consequently
the narrower the market for such goods
and. the lower prices.
For every acre titled and planted with
cereal crops last year our farmers re-
celved 500 less than they did forevery a
lcre titled in 1879. Iftheir labor had been
as remunerative in I 895 as it was in 1879
they would have received 5000. OOO. 900
more than they did, and would have this
much more to spend, making a broader
market for manufactured goods.
The value Of cereals raised in 1890,
on smaller acreage, was about S. $780,
100000 or nearly $350,O0O,OOO more
than In 1895. This much less did the
growers Of cereals have to spend in 1895
than in 1890, and here in great measure,
is the explanation Of the unsatisfactory
market and lower prices for manufact-
ured goods.
Granting that it would be possible in
the face Of the premium on gold to pro-
tect our manufacturers against foreign
competition and preserve the home mar
ket by higher tariff duties, it is clear this
would not of itself bring the long sought
for return of prosperity to manufacturers.
We are told that higher duties would
lead to higher prices and increased pro-
duction, thus bringing better times to
manufacturers. And until we broaden
the market, any increase of production
must lead to lower prices. Receiving
nearly $35o,0o0,0o0 less Cor their cereal
crops in 1895 than in 1890, and less for
their other produce in like proportion, it
is evident that our farmers have less to
spend than they had in 1890, and it is
clear either their purchase of manufact-
ured goods must be curtailed, OF prices
must fall so as the smaller amount of
money will buy the same amount of goods.
Our farmers cannot spend more than they
receive for their products, and until they
receive better prices for their products
the market for manufactured goods will
be restricted.
Consequently the preservation of such
a market to our manufacturers, even if
it could be done by higher tariff duties
in the face of the premium on the gold,
which acts as a bounty on all exports
from silver-using to gold-using countries,
would not bring them real prosperity

ABOUT THE TWO-THlRDS RULE.
Col. keogh Thinks That it is Not Now
in Force

To the Editor: disclaiming
any intention of interfering in your po-
aical household affairs, with your per-
mission, / submit some facts relating
to the two-thirds rule referred to in
your editorial remarks this morning.
If my understanding of the history
of the rule is correct, there is moth
ing in connection with it for future
Democratic National convention to
abolish" or "abrogate." The rule is
not now in force. TO be effective it
must be adopted by a majority of the
convention that proposes to apply it..
May 21st, 1882, the Democratic Ma
t;onal convention met in Baltimore.
This was the first National convention
held by amy political party in this
country. At that convention, Mr.. Saun-
ders, of North Carolina, proposed the
two-thirds rule, and it was adopted.

THE BRYN MAWR FELLOWSHIP
Explanation as to the European Fellow
ship Won by Miss Ragsdale.

To the Editor: | have received the
following inquiry concerning the
Bryn Mawr European Fellowship won
by Miss Virginia Ragsdale, of Gull
ford county; and ! believe all North
Carolinians will be interested in the
answer. | therefore send the same to
you for publication in your valuable
paper.
II see Miss Virginia Ragsdale has
won the European Fellowship at
Bryn Mawr. How much does this
mean? Is it in competition with girls
from all the States?"
| learn from the Bryn Mawr pro-
gramme for 1896 that there We're 80
competitors for this fellowship from
leading schools and colleges.
Miss Ragsdale was thus one of thirty
nine young women from various States
and prepared in the best schools and
colleges in America. She was the first
young woman to obtain the Bryn
Mawr scholarship, established num-
Der of years ago at Guilford College.
Bryn Mawr founded this scholarship
and established the conditions accord
ing to which it should be awarded.
These are, that the young woman shall
be graduate of Guilford College; that
it shall be open to three classes each
year, viz: The graduating class, and
the classes of the two preceding years.
and shall be awarded on the basis OF
excellence in scholarship.
1t is thus removed from any class
honor. and being open to three classes
of graduates, the competition is larger
than it would be, had it been confined
each year to the graduating class.

A CURIOUS TREE OR TREES.

To the Editor: There is what APP
pears to be two small sprouts started
to grow, some six inches apart. They
grew to the height of about five feet,
at which time they united and formed
only ONE top. No signs of double top.
All parts of the tree, both trunk and
top, are in a healthy condition. The
trunks are about four inches through.
each, and the top the same. The height
is supposed to be about Is or 20 feet.
The cause of the peculiar growth and
form of the tree is not known, as it is
growing in an old field which is very
thickly grown up.
