Tho Horse Car Drivar.

cility of movement that does not pertain

The Ever Fresh and Useful Denim ID With
Us Again

Denim is material of great possibli-
ties. 1t is being used this spring in many
new ways, and the latest denims are
most looking fabrics. They may
be bought in yellow, sage green, delft
blue. deep red, brown. cream color and
white. l have stamped design which
is either floral OF antique. The mythical
Pegasus is the most popular design this
season. These denims are known as the
art denims, and cost 45 cents yard.
In decorating country houses they may
be used in a variety of ways. Denims
may take the place of wall paper in many
rooms, and as carpet it is much to be
desired. 1t will wear much better than
a filling, and makes an excellent back
ground for rugs. For portieres it is al
ways in demand.
Some of the new denim tablecloths
are things of beauty. The art denims
only come yard wide. and, as the ordi
nary dining room. tablecloth is generally
three or four yards wide. it is necessary
to have the strips of denim sewed to-
gether. One tablecloth seen recently was
made of yellow denim. The four yards
which were used We're fastened together
by yellow satin ribbon. embroidered In
a conventional design, with heavy black
silk floss. In each corner a Pegasus. in
black was embroidered. and the cloth
was finished with denim frill bound
with narrow black satin ribbon.
Piazza sofa cushions in denim are
seen in many new designs. Sage green
and delft blue cushions are most pop
Ular Many have an embroidered de-
sign worked upon them or some appro-
pirate quotation.
In the way of wearing apparel denim
is useful in making clothespin aprons.
and for petticoats for outing wear It
is most serviceable.

Care OF the Feet.

The skill of the pedicure Is now called
into rcquisition nearly as often as that of
the manicure. Many persons have their
feet carefully and systematically looked
after and the nails of their toes as nicely
kept as the nails of their fingers. The
visiting pedioure is distinct profession
in the large cities. Unquestionably the
caro- of the feet has much to do with their
condition as regards comfort and service.
Tender feet can be somewhat hardened
and rendered less susceptible by bathing
them every morning in tepid, not hot,
water into which Q teaspoonful of eau dc
cologne has been put. The occasional
parboiling in almost scalding water, which

thies between it and the country states
are cut off and obliterated. The city OBJ

A second fact dangerous to the repub-
lie is the Bond. The city and the bond
are in league and amity. The country as
such does not know the bond, but feels

and is SO we'll pleased with its reception
as not to return! The bond and the

bond and the election. The bond cher
ishes chronic dislike Of all democracy.
If the bond accepts republicanism, it is
only that kind that wears plume and
backs up against an arsenal.
The bonded debt of the United States
was intended to subserve temporary
purpose in our economy. and then to 60
away by payment. Nobody wishes to re-
pudiate a debt made necessary by the
peril Of the nation. What the people
want is payment, and what the bond
wants is eternal lifel The bond knows
that it has no permanent place among
free institutions. The bond accordingly
interests itself in the latest tactics. It
promotes armored ships and 16 inch
rif1ed cannon. 1t circulates eulogiums of
the English system Of finance and Of the
supreme court. As to the people, the
bond utters the same wish which one
of our distinguished financiers in New
York uttered about the public. The bond
says that it is a part Of the national
honor, and that an honorable thing
ought to live forever.
The creation Of a permanent fund
holding interest In republic is incon-
sistent with it. The bond is part Of
the monarchical apparatus, but to ma
tion Of freemen it is thing Of i'll omen.
Once admitted into the republic, the
bond discovers that the republic is not
strong enough for its purposes. The cou-
pons Of a perpetual debt become annoy
ing, even to Christians and patriots.
However silently the coupons are clip
ped, and however patriotically they are
paid, the time comes when the payer
wearies little Of the semiannual trib-
ute. A true people such as the Ameri-
cans will never shrink from the full dis
charge of debt that was contracted for
the preservation Of the Union. It is only
when the holders Of that debt propose to
make it eternal and contrive that it shall
be paid in standard unit worth two

cares for aught but itself? Where is
there ono that finds an interest in any
thing but itself or in some other city

departs more and more from that civil
simplicity which constitutes the essence
Of genuine democracy. There is no
great city in the world that is truly
democratic or genuinely republican.
Every great city is imperial. Nearly
every one is under the dominion Of an
emperor, in comparison with whose ab-
solutisin the rule Of the czar, the mi
kado or the shah is model Of frantic
liberalism. The great city separates
itself more and more from the country
in which i5 is located. 1t develops life
Of its own. 1t isolates itself and comes
to look upon all the rest Of the world as
the outlying provinces from which it is
to draw its corn and wine.
The American republic has fostered
on its breast form of municipal life
that has grown and fattened on the COM
mon life Of the country to an alarming
degree. If the process goes on for the
next half century as in the last, the over
whelming preponderance of population
will be found within the corporate lin
its Of the cities. and outside Of that will
be found only weak and unambitious
if not a servile peasantry, as unlike the
robust democratio farmers and mechan-
