A new note has been struck in the
ever popular theme OF the American
girl: "There is no typical American
girl; there are many types, but no
one type that can be regarded as ma
tional." This is the conclusion ar
rived at by those who have made a
serious study of the subject, and this
view is exemplitied by the artist J.
Wells Champney in his collection OF
pastels representing TYPES of Amer
Jean Girlhood," exquisite reproduc-
lions of which illustrate charming
article in Demorcst's Magazine for
August, entitled "A Study of the
American Girl" In the same num-
Der beautiful illustrated article,
"a Latter Day Pilgrimage" tells
about the picturesque California mis-
sions. There are bright stories, good
poems and the department matter is
especially good and seasonable. Every
one should read the article on "The
Use and Abuse OF Summer Sports, in

A good institute Is of inestimable
value to the teacher and to the per-
son preparing to enter the profession.
1t gives inspiration and suggestion to
the progressive teacher, and leads the
novice to prepare more thoroughly
and hold higher ideals 0f the teach
er's work. A good institute is ge-
uial, lively, mothodical, systematic,
orderly, enthusiastic school. lnstruc-
tors have been selected who have
had much practical experience In the
school room and know how to give
others portion of what they have
thus learned. 1t is confidently ex-
pected that this will be one Of the
best Institutes ever held in the
county.
The work will combine profession :
al and academic instruction. The
institute will be divided into Sec
tions; and the Instructors will con-
duct classes for the purpose of review
ing some studies, and also to illus
trate up-to-date methods of instruc-
tion. The workers have been urged
to arrange for calisthenic exercises,
singing, marching, and the like, so
as to make the work move of cheeri-
ly aud without fatigue.
The institute law allows teachers,
whose schools are In session at the
time appointed for the county insti-
tute held under the direction of the
State Superintendent, to close their
schools during the continuance of
such institute, without FORGETTING
their wages for as many half days as
they are in attendance at the insti-
tute.
There will be no enrolment fee,
and every teacher and would-be-
teacher should arrange to attend ev-
cry session. Try to be present at the
first session.
Full particulars in regard to board,
etc, may be obtained apon applica-
tion to the local committee.

The epithets traitor" and "bood-
Ter" which the Bryanites OF Missouri
and other states are flinging at the
gold Democrats and the spirit which
incites them, are doing grand work
for the honest money cause. The
split in the Democracy will continue
until after 1900. and it will strike
nearer the middle OF the party In
that year than 1t did in 1896. That
is, the silver end will grow smaller

A reduction in the tariff on coal

A reduction In the tariff on coal by
the Wilson bill was followed by a re-
duction In wages amounting to near
ly as much per ton as the reduction
OF the duty. That act cut down the
coal tariff 80 cents per ton, which is
q little more than President Ratch
ford, OF the Miners Union, claims as
having taken place in 1898 10 the re.
ductIon OF wages. II 20 cents reduc-
tion IN tariff cuts down wages % or
30 cents per ton. would the removal
OF the entire duty, as urged by Mr..

The girls here wear short, dark skirt and gay lowered waist. On the head, a tight cap, made in five or six pieces, leach piece being tied on separately. These caps cover the hair entirely save for two long curls, one on each side of the face, which are left outside the cap. The children all dress alike until they reach a certain age when the boy changes his costume.
 Their huts are in one room with 8 large fireplace and teds made in the wall. These beds are like cupboards. Shut up in the day they are out of sight in the wall and at night the door is open. ed and the bed is ready for use.

takes. And he would have been shocked at the thought of claiming any such exemption for himself.
 He was ready to confess his own weakness and infirmities, his dependence upon Gods grace, and his need of Gods help. And he was very far from trust. ing in any righteousness of his own for salvation. ''Redeemed through the blood of Christi" "Saved through the merits Of the Crucified One" This was his hope of salvation. But, I think, it would be rare to find any whose lives came nearer the ideal of perfect Chris tian life than his seemed to be. He was Bible Christian,4 ,4a firm believer in Jesus Christ as divine Saviour and in experi- mental piety through the renewing of the Holy Spirit. He loved the Bible. he loved the Sabbaths, he loved the place of worship, he rejoiced in the communion of saints, as a foretaste of the Heavenly world.
 Gradually during the last few months his health had been giving way, although confined to the house less than two weeks, until on Thursday, March IS about noon, when calmly and peacefully the spirit took it's flight to Better World, and the earthly life of Dea Tut ! tie was finished. About two hours be- fore his death was in the room with hin and while did not understand all that he said, he expressed the desire thai there might be a work of grace here showing that his thoughts were still up on the cause he loved so much. Two weeks ago to-day, the first Sun day in March, it being the 65th anniver sary of his uniting with the church, he was present with us and fulfilled his du ties as Deacon at our Communion sea son. Only one Sabbath was he absen before

The companion of life time has been called away. But shal not this be your consolation, that he hal been transferred from the sufferings and the weaknesses of the earthly life, from the infirmities of age, from 8 world o1 sin and death, to that blest world where suffering and death should never enter Welcome sweet hour of full discharge,
 That sets our longing soul at large,
