Scandal m0ngers can learn a lesson
from the story of a woman who freely
used her tongue TO the scandal OF others
and made a confession to the priest of
what she had done. He gave her a
ripe thistle top and told her to 90 in va
rlous directions to scatter the seed one
by one. Wondering at the penance.
she oboyed and then returned aud told
the priest. 70 her Amusement he told
her to 90 back and gather the scattered
seeds and she objected that it would
be impossible he replied that it would
be more difficult to gather up and de-
stroy all the reports she had circulated
about others. Any thoughtless care
less child can scatter IA handful of this
tie seed before the wind in moment,
but the strongest and wisest man can
not gather them up again. So the
slanderer may scatter seeds of discord
that nc etfoft can remove and the grave
Can scarcely .coyer.~Ex.

No voter need say that be issue
between the two great parties is
not at last clearly defined. The
Republican party. being forced TO
showdown, has come out on the
side of monopoly with gold for a
platform, and Mckinley and Ho-
bart tor ticket. The Democratic
party, true to its traditions, has
come out on the peoples side with
free silver in the platform and two
good men-Bryan and Sewall-on
the ticket. No Saddle is made by
either side and the issue between
the two great parties is so clear
cut, that any man who is intelli-
gent enough to vote, can distin-
guish which is in the right. The
Republican party put itself on rec
ord at the st. Louis convention as
the party of corruption and plutoc-
racy. The Democratic party, as
was expected, has shown itself to
be the party of patriotism and tina
people. 1t only remains for the
voters to choose between the two.

Identified by His Halo.

Signor Luigi Arditi, the famous con-
ductor OF opera. and the composer Of
much delightful music. is entering the
fiftieth year of his public career. and on
its completion will publish his remin-
iscences. The conductor of an operatio
orchestra soon learns more about great
singers than they themselves could tell
him. He knows their moods. can un-
derstand their temperament. and il
probably the only person to accurately
gauge the limitations of their art.
Hence Signor Arditi's book will throw
new and interesting light on many
favorites of the operate stage. To all
opera goers the halo surrounding Sig
nor Arditi's head is familiar. and the
maestro tells good story about il. at
his own expense. II was in the DAYS
when the Mapleson opera COMPANY.
from Her Majesty's was in America.
and at one of the towns Arditi went to
cash an open check payable to himself
and made out by the impresario. He
reached the bank and presented the
paper TO the cashier. who looked first
at the check, then at him. and said. 81
must have some proof of identity. This
is an open check: YOU may be Mr.. Ar
diti or you may not" This was awk-
ward, for the musician had no card or
papers with him, whereby to set the
question of identity at rest and he did
not want to have journey back to his
hotel. At last bright idea struck him.
do you ever go to opera" he asked
the cashier. yes. have been several
times" replied the cashier. Then"
cried the musician. turning round sud
denly and lifting his hat, do you mean
to tell me you tDn't know Arditi?" The
familiar back-view at once convinced
the cashier, and. with many apologies.
the money was paid.-From the Sketch.

ciety girl OF New York. 1t IS brilliant

Conduct OF school CbIIdr.n

treated at school. A small girl os

pionage. Teachers who cannot res,rai,

fitted snugly, and has strapped seams
held down by horn buttons.
The blouse is in the Norfolk effect,
with yoke and pleats reaching from
1t TO the belt; these pleats have
rounded tops turned over and orna-
mented with buttons TO simulate tiny
pockets. There are leg o. mutton
sleeves and belt of stiffened cloth to
match the costume, with a leather
buckle. The rolling coat collar shows n
glimpse OF shirt front, linen collar and
Harvard red tie.
There are leggings to match, reaching
to the knee, fastened by buttons and

There are two hats TO go with this suit.

FOR HANDS AND HEAD.
Methods for Treating Chopped Hands
and Failing Hair.

AT this season of the year IL is almost
impossible TO keep the hands from
chappng and looking rcd when they
are in water as frequently as it is nee
essary TO have them Below is given
most excellent recipe for making
Laureline. which is simply and easily
prepared at home and very inexpensive.
Two ounces of glycerine. one ounce OF
alcohol, one-fourth ounce of gum traga-
canth. one-fourth to one-half ounce of
rose water or violet perfume, one pint
of water. Soak the tragacanth in the
water two days, then strain and add
the other ingredients. Cut the glycer-
Inc with the alcohol II il should be
too thick add a little more water and
alcohol. Bottle and il is ready for use
In the cold weather. IL it is too thick
to pour easily heat it by setting over
the register or in bowl of hot water.
While most people admit there Is moth
ing better for the scalp than thorough
brushing OF the hair morning and night
many Will not persist in this and are
continually asking what will make the
hair come in when IL Is fast coming out.
Many OF the best hair dressers and
BARRIERS are recommending rubbing
pure grease in very thoroughly every
night or every other night. In several
instances this has proven very effectual
and new growth of short and strong
fuzz all over the head has been the re-
suit. Many children and some of an
older growth are severely troubled with
dandruff in the scalp, which always
makes the head and hair look dirty.
This can be removed by rubbing pure
grease in every other night and in the
morning following wash thoroughly
with tar soap.

She had hoped he would 20 with her

Noting her tone of disappointment he
went on sarcastically:

It's fun to sweat like a niger and veil

just like a woman to want a man TO

house, slamming the door behind him.

Gowns Braided q La MilItaIre.

The effect militaire is much sought
after in tailor-made gowns. as il has
been all season in capes and coats.
Perhaps it is but an excuse for the
smart braid decoration SO popular. or
1t may be because the style is so
usually becoming. The passion for
braiding has even entered the realm
OF linen gowns, and We see many of the
more costly models enriched by ouanti-
ties OF beautiful hand braiding and
done in variety of colors. Black
braidings are in vogue on gowns of all
colors and are an exceedingly effective
finish.
A novel gown in thin navy blue silk
serge has the bodice beautifully en-
riched by braidings OF black silk. The
skirt OF the serge is wide and flaring
and finished with bows OF narrow braid
at the top of the deep hem. 1t is
lined throughout by way of color, with
Persian silk in shades OF violet and
green. The bodice was drawn smooth
ly over the bust. and cut away at the
waist line to display waistcoat of

pride of the good lady.
Before a fortnight had elapsed Guy
ST. Cyril was in love with Helen Full
ton. And such life as the gay girl led
him. His tenderest speeches she
laughed at; his flowers she made into
wreaths to deck Quito. and when he
asked her to walk or ride she said she
must stay at home and finish a pair OF
stockings she was knitting for her papa.
But one day, by some stratagem. he
beguiled her out TO ride. They had not
gone mile from the Rock before she
challenged 10 race. She rode Agnes
horse Jove. and Guy was mounted on
a stout but by no means agile beast
that he had taken at random from the
stables.
The road was smooth and little de-
scending Helen gave the word, and OF
they started. She did not put Jove up
TO his best pace, for she wanted TO be
near enough TO witness Guys discom-
future when he should discover that his
horse was not built for speed. They
swept down the hill az an easy canter,
down 10 where the highway was crossed
by brook that was spanned by a stone
bridge. Helen was looking back laugh
ing at the sorry figure Guy cut with his |
heavy going horse. and did not perceive |
that the late rains had torn the bridge |
away until she was on the very brink
Of the gorge II was too late 10 wheel

closed her eyes, and he leaped the

hat"
Her tone stung him. He knew the
nferiority of his horse but he could
lot endure to be dared thus by
Voman. He struck his beast a sharp
low. The animal reared and plunged
yer. The water was deep and the cur
emit rapid. but the horse was strong
nd reached the opposite shore. but not
efore he had cast his rider headlong
pom the rocks in the bed OF the brook.
Helen looked back pale and startled.
er heart felt cold she turned Jove
nd plunged into the water. Guy had
zen partially stunned by the fall but

n hand to him
Come, she said; "let me hep you

Yes, both OF them have been sadly
