m1cH1eAN,s AMnrrlors WOMEN.

Iu Michigan, two towns, Decatur
and Marcellus, seem to be under fem
mime control. In the former town,
with population of 1900, all the town
officers are said to be women. The
leading physician of the town is a
woman; one of the most popular pas
tors is woman. Two women conduct
the principal restaurant. The pro-
prietor of the largest dry goods store
is a woman; one of the best shoemak-
ers is a woman. and there are women
painters, narnessmakers, florists and
brokers. The postmaster of the town
is also a woman. The women have
shut up the saloons of the town.

MORNING GOWNS OF KITCHEN rown1rsa.

MORNING GOWNS OF KITCHEN TowELGNG.
The grass cloths, linens, Russian
crash and kitchen toweling are all very
much the rage for morning gowns.
The grass cloths are made elaborate
enough to be worn at garden parties,
and arc extremely pretty gowns. They
also look best made up over silk that
Is. with the silk lining; but more
than one has been turned out lately
with the under petticoat of fine
sat, en-. These gowns are not cheap.
The material itself does not cost much,
but again it is the accessories which
make the expenses mount up. One
gown of grass linen, sent home the
other day from one of the leading
6ressmakers, had tiny polka dot of
heliotrope. The skirt, which was very
full, had ruche headed with quilted
heliotrope satin ribbon. The waist,
which was cut round, had deep yoke
collar of open work batiste, lined with
white satin, from which, front and
back, went three narrow strips of
open work embroidery, also lined with
the white satin, which extended short
distance below the belt. The belt,
however, was passed over them and
kept them down in place. The belt
was of fancy Dresden ribbon of hello.
trope and white, and inside the high
standing collar was o ruche of hello.
trope chiffon. The skirt was lined
throughout with transparent lawn,
the exact shade of the grass cloth, and
there was a dainty petticoat of hello
trope silk made with many pinked ruff
hes.
The Russian crash and kitchen tow
cling are as yet not used for any other
purpose than the jackets and skirts.
These can be had ready made, and the
swell tailors are turning them out by
the dozens The tailors prices are
about five time in excess of the prices
asked in the shops, and for once it can
trutn'uily be said that the difference
is not worth paying. Tue little, short
ilcket with the wide, much gored
skirt, is the only pattern. -Harper's
Bazaar.

poultry netting is fitted into the wire
rectangle. This, laid upon the grain
in the box prevents tho horse taking
too large mouthfuls. 1t falls, of
course, as the grain is eaten. Where
the grain for the horses ration is
poured into the manger, the same end
may be secured by mailing parallel
strips OF wood across the bottom of
the manger. 1t is much better, how
ever, to feed in box which can be
washed out occasionally, for where
soft feed, especially. is turned into
manger, the latter is likely soon to be-
come sour. American Agriculturist.

One day Thomas Carlyle went into n
tobacconist's shop in London and asked
for certain brand of tobacco. The
shopman, not having the kind asked FOR

Carlyle took the tobacco in his hand

sets. 1t affects, however, only those
of the fair sex who thirst for the
higher education. At certain young
women's college it was noticed that
the delicate electrical instruments I'M

when girl came up to explain
what she had learned about volts,
ohms, aud the like, galvanometers
would gyrate wildly and the needles in
the various dials would swerye in
most unaccouutable manner. Finally
the professor discovered where the
trouble lay. 1t was the steel in the
girls corsets, and the faculty there.

evade the rule by tue utterauce of

HARRIS WILL CASE SETTLED.
Amicnbly Arranged After II Lengthy
Comtesl IN the Courts.

A special from Wilmington, Del. dated
April %, says: THE celebrated Harris
will case in Dover has at last been
settled The affairs of Harris have oc-
cupied the attention of the courts since
May, 1893. In December of that year a
jury de lunatico inquirendo declared that
he was incompetent to manage his af-
fairs. and j. Frank Wilds was appoint
ed trustee. Harris died In January of
this year, and the case of the probate
of his will and codlcils came before the
Judge of the Probate Court, Register L.
I. Cooper. Eminent counsel were en-
gagged in the case. and 1t attracted great
interest. The trial lasted thirty five
days, and the testimony covered l,750
pages of typewriter matter. Judge
Cooler. in an elaborate opinion, sustained
the disputed codicils, deciding that Har-
ris was competent to transact his or
binary business affairs, and ordered the
probation of the Will and codicils. An
appeal was taken from the decision OF
the Probate Court, and 1t was expected
to come up for review before the pres
ent court
The case however. was amicably
settled at noon to-day. Butler. Clark
Nimmo and Dawes, the legatees, are
TO receive amounts in proportion TO the
value of the estate as the same was sup
posed TO be worth at the time the dis
puted codicils were made. MIR. Harris
was then supposed to be worth $l5O. 600
The legacies amounted to S3l, 900, the
income of the balance going over to
Sarah .. McPhail. a nece and the cavea-
tor. How much the various parties will
receive of course, depends upon the
value of the securities, which are said
to have deprecated in value within the
past few months"
