Morality has just received a great
impetus in Washington, Iowa. The
young women of that place, it is an
nounced, "have pledged each other
that they will not receive calls from
young men who do not lead good,
moral lives 1t is to be feared that
large number of the young men of
Washington, Iowa, if they resemble
young men OF other sections of
the country, will at first fall under
the ban of this ethical blacklistins.
1t is to be expected, however, that
the severe penalty thus imposed
upon their wrong doings will lead
them into courses that will bring
upon them the approving smiles of
the fair feminine moralists of their
vicinage.

push to the front at any cost, and for
four days the animals of his charge
went without a drop of water. -Four
pack mules succumbed to the suffering
and the men came through with mar

the torrid sun of the alkali lands. Capt.
Bell now inquiries if he is expected to

for his command, so that his latest ex-
perience will not be repeated.

furs, furs and velvets seem TO be tho

mine never was cheap, possibly because
1t is the fur Of royalty, possibly because
of It's own worth-but 1t was always
beautiful, and is so now, fact most
women realize and utilize to the best
OF their ability, says Chicago paper.
An altogether charming cape, with
long stole ends, is among the fur wraps
Of one Of Chicagos beauties, and
regal appearance she makes in its
snowy beauty. The body of the cape
is Of rich olive green velvet, extremely
full, and edged broadly with rich en-
broldery placed fatty on 1t. Over this
flutters deep butterfly cape Of ermine,
with jaunty collar standing up about
the face. One end of the cape is drawn
over the bust, surplice fashion, or, rath-
err, in the style Of the favorite flchus.
and from the waist fall two long tails
of the fur, finished with a row Of tails.
A dainty ermine muff completes the set.
Richly brocaded satin, with a peachy
pink groundwork, lines the garment
throughout, while the same shade of
pink is seen in the smart head-dress Of
roses, topped Off by single black
plume. So many fetching affairs are
made for theater wear, in which ermine

ing from $50 to SIS for the cheapest.
Some very fetching cloth coats are
being put up for sale in a few of the
most exclusive shops, mostly Of light,
pale tan, in heavy melton, with trim
mings Of Russian sable, silver fox or
beaver. They are in the REFER form
and are extremely short, with cute lit
tie ripples at the back, made so stiff
that flattening is impossible. There is
broad collar Of the sable and mar
row facing of the same all down the
front, giving 1t the effect Of being fur
lined. A coat of this sort cannot be
had for less than $40, but they are well
worth the price, because they do look
so very easy and so very becoming =

A Romance of the War.

A little romance Of the war was APP
propriately rounded out at Harlan
Court House, KY, few days ago. In
1862 a fine young fellow of II, named
Jesse Baker, a Confederate, was wound
ed, in a skirmish near that place, and
was left by his command at a mountain
cabin owned by John Calleen, a bush
whacker, who was helping the Yankees.
John and his wife were absent, ana
only his 13-year-old daughter, Fannie,
was at home. She cared for the wound
ed hoy, nursed him through a three
months sickness, and fell in love with
him during that time. But Baker
went away, forgot Fannie, and at the
close Of the war married another girl.
His wife died. A little while ago he
moved to Harlan county, where he dis
covered his benefactress, Fannie, and
found she was widow. A few days
ago they were married.

Turned tho Tables.

The tables were turned in surpris-
ing manner on an exultant crook by a
smart Yankee deputy sheriff in York
county, Maine, last week. The deputy
was after the crook and came up with
him just across the border in New
Hampshire. The crook was safe from
the deputy's warrant there, but in or
der to be safer he boarded a train for
the interior of the state. That was his
mistake The deputy boarded the same
train and took seat near the crook.
At a point few miles ahead the rail-
way track ran across corner Of York
county, Maine. The deputy knew this,
but the crook didn't. When the line
was crossed the deputy pulled the bell
rome, stopped the train, dragged the
crook out of his seat, put him Off the
train and arrested him.

PECULIAR NERVOUS AFFECTION.
Teaturea Of .he CompIalnt known 70
Physicians as LooNnOtOr AtarIS

Features of tho Complaint Known TO
Physicians as LocNpOtOr AtaIiS
From the New York Sun; II French
men are as subject as other folks to
nervous hallucinations touching the
symptoms of disease there is likely to
be a widespread alarm In France as to
locomotor ataxia. DR.. Gonceln has
published in the Journal de la Saute an
account Of the symptoms forerunning
and accompanying that disease, and his
article has found its way into popular
lay publications. DR.. Goncelin sets
down five leading symptoms Of the dis
ease in its early stages, and intimates
that where three Of them are well de-
fined the patient is almost certainly on
the edge of the disease. One symptom
is the inability Of the person affected
to stand firm and erect with his eyes
closed. Another is the symptom of the
stairs, so called from the fact that
the patient is In constant fear Of falling
IS he descends a stairway. The third
symptom is found In the way the pa
tient crosses his legs. He lifts the leg
in this act much higher than Is neces-
sary to clear the knee Of the other leg,
and the toes describe in air an arc OF
large circle. the fourth symptom Is
the confused and hesitating manner in
which the patient moves when sudden
ly commanded to rise and walk, and
the painful effort he makes to keep his
equilibrium when suddenly ordered to
halt in his march. In the first case UNI
der this symptom the patient seems
uncertain Of his equilibrium. In the
second, under the same symptoms, he
tends, when suddenly halted, to lean
far forward or, with view to counter
acting this tendency, to lean back at
perilous angle. The fifth symptom is
the inability Of the patient to stand
firm and erect upon one foot, at first
with his eyes open, then with his eyes
closed A man in normal health can
ordinarily preserve his equilibrium
upon one foot with his eyes open, but
it takes some practice to enable him 10
stand still upon one foot with his eyes
colsed. The eyes are an important ad-
junct in preserving ones equilibrium,
whether in walking or in standing. In
the case Of person stricken with loco
motor ataxia it is difficult to maintain
equilibrium upon one foot with the
eyes open, and impossible to maintain
it for a single instant with the eyes
closed. All these symptoms are to be
noted with the fact in mind that persons
in good health are likely to be nervous
ly affected by the knowledge Of the ex-
periments with the view to discovering
such symptoms are in progress. 1t Is
also important to remember that per-
son Of sound health, but unused to
smooth floors, descending an uncar>
peted stairway Of polished hard wood,
is likely to be seized with fear Of slip
ping, and instinctively stiffens the an
kles as one does in walking on Ice. A
steep stairway, too, Is alarming to old
persons or to nervous persons when
they make the descent.

Use More Onions.

Onions are among the most health
full of garden vegetables. We're it not
for tainting the breath they would be
much more used than they are. They
are very easy to digest, and this makes
them valuable to people who cannot
eat other kinds of vegetables. They
not only digest themselves, but the
onion is so associative that it cleanseS
the stomach, removing impurities that
the digestive organs have been unable
to get rid Of They are excellent for
colds, and are also good for those un'
able to sleep we'll. Every farmer
should grow some onions for the use
of his own family, and if he has not
done so, he should purchase two on
three bushels for occasional use dur
ing the winter season, when more
meat is eaten than at other times in
the year.

A peculiar fact in respect to pc
troleum is the difference Of conditions
under which that oil occurs in Rus
sia and America. In the former 1t is
found in strata Of the tertiary period,
usually a formation resembling a
uuicksand and at depths Of only few
hundred feet-in this country 1t oc-
ours at great depths in the older COM
pact sandstones and limestones Of the
Carboniferous, Devonian, and SilurIan
periods. The oil Of Russia consists Of
a class Of hydrocarbons known as
napthenes, belonging to the benzlne
groups, while American oil is mainly
composed Of parafine; it is to this diff
ference that the great variation be-
tween the products from these oils is
due, for, while American oil yields a
very large proportion, say about 70 per
cent, of Illuminating oil exactly suit
ed for combustion in ordinary lamps,
the Russian oil produces far less Of
such oil and larger proportion Of
high-class lubricating oil.

Wearing Bloomers.

A bicycle club of girls are anxious
to know If boomers are to be worn
next season, and If they are approved
by the best authorities. Answer-It IS
very evident, girls, that you are not
regular readers, else you would have
been rooted and grounded, as it were,
in the latest ideas on boomers. 1t is
perfectly safe to say that the time is
not far distant when women will find
their cheeks getting red when they re-
call the spectacle they have made Of
themselves by going out wheeling in
boomers. They are merely craze,
and one that is without sense or rea-
son. Thousands Of women have never
worn them, and for this they will prob
ably be very thankful. AS to the author
tiles that approve Of them, that Is a
matter of opinion. Many very excellent
women wear them, but that proves
nothing. The bloomer fad Is dying out,
and a not very lingering death either.
Wear moderately short skirts and gait
ers, girls, and let boomers severely
alone. One of the best styles is skirt
just to the instep in front and almost
touching the ground at the back. When
you mount, see that the back seam of
the skirt comes exactly over the mid
die of the saddle. This prevents show
ing the ankles at the back, and gives
a much more graceful and stylish eff
feet than very short skirt. 1t is safe
and comfortable and hoGemipG. and
this cannot be said Of all costumes
