Packed his icebox--gone-half way

But know the old ruffian still

Spring was once a potent queen,
Robed In blossoms and in green.
That, j think. was long ago.
Is she buried in the snow.
Deaf to all our caroiling.
Poor old Spring?

Still the air Is chill and raw

very good lead at that. That a Crusader

Grand opera in New York this
season has been something for
music lovers to rave over, and with
reason. Nordica, Melba, Calve,
Scalchi, Jean and Edouard de

will bring to the memory of thous-

THE HOUSEHOLD.
THE ART OF RIPPING.
How to Undo the Work That Others
Have Done.

There is a general impression
that it is an easy matter to rip up
garment. Most anybody can do
it, and it is an undertaking that re.
quires no special skill or care.
Acting on this idea, clothing is
pulled, torn and cut with knives,
shipped with scissors and finally
taken to pieces after this unproft
able fashion and the operator comes
and declares that everything is
ready. A dyer who handles a
large quantity of black goods says
that he long ago gave up expecting
anybody to rip a garment up as it
should be done. If the seams are
ripped they are full of threads;
sometimes there are buttons on;
hooks and eyes are not uncommon;
the fronts of them are stuck full OF
pins of various sorts, and Innings,
facings, braids and the like remain,
in whole or in pieces, just as the
individual who had charge of the
disintegrating process happens to
leave them.
To rip up a garment properly
there should be no pulling, tearing
or dragging apart. If one cannot
take the end of the thread and
pull it out the stitches should be
cut with a sharp knife. Very few
persons can rip a garment with
scissors without doing it great
harm; indeed, many find it impos-
sible to cut stitches with anything
without making holes that render
the goods abso' utely worthless for
the one who originally wore it.
When it is done the edges are so
ragged that much smaller pattern
must be used. In preparing goods
for the dyer, or to be made over,
every stitch should be taken out.
1t seems scarcely necessary to say
that facings, braid and hooks and
eyes must be removed, but this is
imperative, in view of the condition
in which garments come to the
dressmaker and the dyer. Many
dresses, capes and jackets are per-
fectly wearable after being carefully
ripped, brushed, sponged and
pressed. 1t is wonder that some
one does not set up an establish
ment for ripping clothes and putting
them in order for the dressmaker.
The owner of them frequently has
not time to do them properly, or is
too careless and understands too
little the requirements of them to
do it had she all the time in the
world. Some semi invalid in every
community might get tolerable
living, or at least add to a limited
income, by preparing garments for
remodeling.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.

RESOLVED: That this committee
shall now proceed to perform the
duty delegated to it, to fix the time
of holding the second national con-
vention of the Peoples party of the
United States, to place in nomina-
ton candidates for president and
vice-president of the United States
upon platform to be adopted by
said convention.
WHEREAS, This committee has
no right nor does it desire to change
in any particular the principles of
the Peoples party of the United
States; yet it believes that in the
disgraceful conditions that now
Cypress the people of the nation,
crushing industry, bankrupting
commerce, impoverishing agricul-
ture and concentrating the lands
and bonds of the people into the
hands of a few, it is the duty of all
honest men, without regard to past
party affiliations, to unite and res
cue civilization from the dangers
that have ever endangered ii, and
WHEREAS, 1t is unquestionaly
true that a large majority of the
voters of the nation, while suffering
from these conditions, are aware
that they have been brought upon
them by a betrayal of trust on the
part of two old parties; and
WHEREAS, 1t is perfectly clear
that if these voters can be brought
together and organized they can
and will reverse the present in
famous policy of robbery and give
to the people return of good gov
eminent, based on the principles of
true democracy as represented by
Thomas Jefferson, and of true re-
publicanism as represented by
Abraham Lincoln.
Therefore, we instruct the exec
utive committee of this committee
to urge upon all men and organiza-
tions desiring financial reform, but
who are not yet ready to become
members of our organization, to
hold separate convention in the
same city and at the same time,
that we shall fix upon, so that an
honorable effort may be made, by
conference and consultation, with.
out sacrifice of principle, to unite
all friends of financial reform in
support of the same candidates for
president and vice-pnesident
Resolved: That in so great work
ofunifying the whole people against
their oppressors, no small or petty
considerations should stand in the
way, and we, therefore, hereby ex-
press our feeling that if either the
time fixed by us for holding said
convention, or the place in which it
is to be held, shall constitute an
impediment to perfect cooperation

The Pops. are Coming.

BY ]. A. EDGERToN, LINCOLN, NEB.
Oh, the Pops. they are a-popping;
And, you bet, there'll be so stopping,
Till you hear of something dropping,
Like thousand tons of brick.
You can tell it by the humming
Of their voices; by the drumming
OF their cohorts; they are coming
And are coming double quick.
From the country they are swarming,
From the shops their ranks are forming;
And their hosts will soon be storming
The proud walls OF Mammons might.
You can fiout it, you can scout it,
But they'll get there, don't you doubt it;
And they won't be loug aboutit,
When they once begin the fight.
IT'S the rising of the masses,
In the struggle with the classes;
And the plutocratic asses
Better get in from the wet;
And the men who-live by plumber
They had better stand from under,
For there's going to be some thunder
Raised, when once the ranks are met.
IT'S the conflict of the ages,
1t has been foretold by sages,
And on poets, prophets pages,
For thousand years or more.
1t is coming; we are near it.
The faint rumbling-dont you hear it?
Grid your armor; do not fear it;
IT'S the last and final war;
When the hosts of toll from slumber
Shall arise in strength of number,
And shall smite the foes who cumber
Earth with ancient forms of wrong;
When old evils shall be righted;
And above the lands benighted,
Freedoms beacons shall be lighted;
And the earth is filled with song.
o, the Pops. are up and coming:
You can hear their voices humming;
You can hear their cohorts drumming,
As they line up for the fray.
You can see their banners streaming,
You can see their fore front cleaning
In the downright ON them beaming
From the new and grander day.
