case from the use of asepsin were re-
markable. The entire system awoke in
response to the treatment. Night
sweats ceased and the girl slept sound

The only unpleasant symptom yet no.

no Ill results.

Connecticut has been long and justly
celebrated for her inventors and their
wonderful work. but If she means to
maintain the proud place she has won
as the mother OF invention she will
have to bestir herself. Westward the
star OF empire takes its way, and the
star OF invention also appears to be
shining "out West A genius of that
region has applied to the patent office,
for a patent on a. corn planter, which
consists OF two boxes attached to the
forelegs of a horse, just above the fet-
locks, in which is the corn to be plant
ed. Cords pass over pulleys attached
to a saddle. down to the hind legs, so
that every time the horse steps the
tightening Of the cord will open the
boxes on the forelegs and some corn will
be shaken into the holes made by the
front feet
1t seems as if somebody ought to have
thought of this device before, but no.
body has. Like many other great in
ventions, it is so simple that 1t has es-
capped the notice of everybody but the
one with the eye to see it, There can
be no doubt that the man who has
shown us how to make a horses hind
legs cause his fore legs to plant corn
has an eye.

United States-twenty-three, with 10000
workers, New York city has eleven
corps, composed of 1000 soldiers. The
army has building for headquarters in
New York that cost third of a million
dollars, and General Booth controls the
trade department of it, which is said to
yield $4,000 a year profit,
1t will he remembered that when Com
mander Ballington Booth came to this
country in 1887 he found the affairs of
the American branch of the Salvation
army completely wrecked by the dis
honesty OF Major Moore, who tried to
secede from the original army and es-
tablish himself as the general COM
handing the American forces, and who
after totally failing in his plans disap-
peared with all the funds in his hands.
Commander Booth and his wife had
hard task before them to revive the IN
terest in the work and to extend the in
fluence and usefulness Of the organiza-
tion, but they have well succeeded. One
of their most important achievements
has been the organization of an auxili-
airy league, which has 5000 members,
contributing S. each a year. The league
includes many persons of wealth and
prominence who do not, conflne their
contributions to their annual subscrlp-
ton, however, and this has enabled the
army to support its members well and
accumulate a good balance in the treas
ury. The amount on hand last March,
according to the treasurer's report, was
$159 o27.61, and the sum has increased
since then.
How the army and it's work will be
affected by the recall of Commander
Booth and his wife remains to be seen.
1t appears to be strong enough now to
go alone, and it will probably be able to
if Commander Booths place is filled by
the right man.

CLEYELAND,S SHADOW.

Although there was a rather lively
contest over the selection of the site
of the next national Democratic con-
vention the contest over the nominal
ton which that convention will be-
stow has not yet become very lively.
There are two good reasons for this
state of things, One is that there is
likely to be too much empty honor"
about the nomination and the other
is that the great shadow of Grover
Cleveland Is over 1T ALL There was
hope that he would say something dur
ing the meeting Of the national com
mittee. But he never peeped and the
members of the committee went home
sadder but not wiser men
It was said that Senator Brice said
he had heard a runor that Mr.. Cleve-
land had written a letter taking himself
out Of the possibilities, but the rumor
could not be chased down. All that
is certain is that the Democratic party
doesn't know where it is at and will
not know until Cleveland tells 1T where
he is at. 1t is possible that, though he
is not ambitious and wants rest he
may think that he is called upon to
try teAsave the country. This idea finds
interesting and significant utteraapce in
Walter Wellman's Washington letter to
the Chicago TimeslTIerald. Mr.. Well
man says that Democrat who called
on the president during the meeting of
the national committee said: Mr..
Cleveland impressed me as a man of
tremendous power and energy, who is
impatient because with all his power
he has not been able to carry out his
ideas concerning reformation of the
fiscal situation. He came into public
life as the champion Of civil service
reform, and in that he has been very
successful. Next he took up tariff re-
form, was beaten ON it, and afterward
had the satisfaction of sweeping the
country with it, though the value of
this victory was soon afterward multi
fled by his own party. Now Mr. Cleve-
| land is bent on a third reform-that of
che financial system, which is both dan
gerous and foolish. l believe he is more
in earnest with this plan than he ever
was with either Of the others His per-
sistency, his love for his country, his
devotion to duty, his Willingness to sac
rifice himself, are all we'll known. This
| is why believe that If his party will
cali him Mr.. Cleveland will stand for
another term. Financial reform must
| vet be effected.
This is solenrnly impressive, as it was
doubtless meant to be. If the pre.si-
dent is willing to sacrifice himself and
consecrate himself for third term no
! wonder the booms don't boom. They
won't boom until his shadow grows
less.

A SITE IN THE sA1vArIor ARMY.

Il STIR IN THE SAIYiTION ARMY.
Long before the Venezuelan crisis
there was an army in this country com
nanded by an Eng1ishman. This was
the Salvation army. General Booth,
the English founder of the army, has
now ordered Commander Darlington
Booth to return to England in March
The commander is a son of the general.
and he and his wife have done noble
and useful work here Their recall has
made a great stir among the soldiers
and officers of the army and also among
those who, without enlisting in the ar
my, have furnished it with ''the sinews
of war;
Although the Salvation army has new
er had any Shining success in fighting
the devil in New Haven, it has done
much good work in some other places.
And it will doubtless surprise some of
our readers to learn that the army in
this country to-day numbers thirty
thousand soldiers, with two thousand
salaried officers. Wicked Chicago very
properly has the largest number of
corps of the army Of any city in the

tesque In dress or hat or headwear,
while the ugly girl is constantly rem
deled distinctive by such a piece of au-
dacity, and to be distinctive-above all
to be audaciously distinctlve-is in
these days to be belle. The girl who
dares and whose triumphant ugliness
permits her to rear upon the sable
abandonment of her tresses a nodding
plume, set gloriously awry, is the girl
who is just now in the swim. Or if she
prefers to accomplish the trick with
bows rather than with tplumes, then
here is a model in to-days illustration.

that narrows toward the back. this

rosettes of black, satin ribbon striped
with three rows of velvet at each edge.
In front three loops rise and are held in
place by a fancy buckle At each side
of the back three small loops are
placed, and from these start two rib
bons that form the tie strings, which
must be wide and Tonga glance at the
bow they make settles that. If the

fled, but this is not always desirable.
The effect of this freakish develop
ment isn't felt alone in headgear. The
woman whose shoulders are actually
bony, who can wear O pumpkin seed
colored gown, bare her shoulders, let
her hair hang down over her ears so the
tips of them show at the back, then put
a long trail of scarlet flowers in the
curved ear lock, sit with her back
queerly bent and look as il she were all
right whether you like her or not, she
is the girl the men are looking at lust
now. Your poor little pink and white
girl with golden hair and pretty pout
would be simply lost in any such rig.
To be triumphantly ugly and to look as
if you liked it, that is the secret, and,
to tell the truth, the belle of last season
and the type of girl who for years and
years has been the belle and who ex-
pected, of course. to be the belle now,
this is the girl who is tearing out her
hair. FLORETTE.

Railroad building in this country
seems to have reached and passed its
highest point of activity. That is the
inference from the figures for the past
year as compared with previous years.
and seems to be the conclusion reached
by railroad experts. In 1894 only 1850
miles OF new railroad were built, and
this was commented on year ago as
being about the lowest record likely to
be touched. But during the year only
1,s2S miles of new road were built It
was argued a year ago that unfayorable
economic conditions had much to do
with the limited railroad extension, but
there seems to be 4. general opinion
this year, based on a view of the condi-
tons the country over, that the extern
sion of railroads in the future will be
small as compared with the past.

An interesting argument against vac
cination was put forth lin a London po-
lice court the other day by a man who
was arraigned there for neglecting to
have his child vaceinated within three
months after its birth, as the wise Eng
fish law requires. When asked what
explanation he had to offer, the man
soIemnly remarked that a resort to any
such safeguard as vaccination implied
not only a want of confidence in the AL
naighty's power, but denial Of that
power, since it amounted to saying He
HAD been unable to do that which, by a
human device, could be done.
