SEVENTEEN TO ONE.

It Is fine thing and a proud thing to be a Son of the American Revolu- ton or Daughter of the American Revolution, but it has it's limitations, In fact, 1t is very limited. There are those who don't think 1t is of supreme account to be Son or a Daughter of only one Revolution A South Ameri- can woman is reported as saying: Might l ask why that plain person at the far side of the room arrogates unto herself so many airs?" "She is a Daughter of the Revolution" said the one interrogated, in awed tones. "Her ancestry fought in the Revolution /" "Oh," said the woman from South America, q myself am a daughter of seventeen of them"
 If there are dignity and splendor in being Son or a Daughter of only one revolution what must be the attitude of a Son or a Daughter of seventeen revolutions?

4 LEGYSLATIYE INCIDENT.

Some queer things happen in the Con- necticut legislature, but, thanks be to goodness, nothing could happen in it like that which has happened in the Indiana legislature. The other morn ing on the desks of most of the legisla- tors of Indiana were found little round boxes, in which were small bottles of whiskey, containing -four drinks" Senator Alexander, with his bottle in his hand, said that some one, without his permission, had placed something on his desk which he believed to be that a majority of the senators were possessed of the same bottles, and he moved that each senator be required to place the packages in the hands of the temperance committee for investiga- tion. Senator New, chairman of the temperance committee, hoped the pres ident would appoint a committee to gather up the packages and place them in the hands of the temperance com mittee, of which he is chairman The committee was appointed, but the sen- ators refused to give up the packages on their desks. Just before the house adjourned at noon Representative Nicholson offered resolution direct ing the speaker to appoint committee to investigate the placing of whiskey on the desks of members. He said he offered the resolution in all sincerity, because he felt that the dignity of the house ought to be preserved, and be- cause he had an impression that the law of the State had been violated by the senders of the liquor. Representa- tive Hicks expressed the opinion that as the packages came through the United States mail the house had no right to make an Investigation; no more right than it would have to in- vestigate the other mail of a membe, oFSiy HioiHlHS' 1he Iesolutlon 10 ln- vestigate was then laid on the table by a close vote
 Nobody would be audacious enough to place small bottles of whiskey on the desks of Connecticut legislators. and fl anybody should be the Legislators would not hesitate to give them up te the temperance committee.

Convict Labor on Roads.

Highway Commissioner James H. Macdonald told me yesterday after noon of proposition for the employ ment of convict labor on the roads of the State, which had been submitted to him for indorsement. MT, Maedon- aid replied to the legislator who made the suggestion that he was emphatical- ly opposed to any such scheme. T would not be in favor of employing convict labor on the highways of this State,' said Mir. Macdonald, until all free laborers in the State had refused to work on the roads. Convict labor working in competition with free labor tends to degrade the latter, and there are enough able-bodied citizens of this State who are not only willing, but anxious to obtain employment to do all the work on the roads. l think it would be bad policy for the State to fa- vor the law-breakers at the expense of the lawabidlng citizens"

Diary Of A Dyspeptic.

.Saf. Wo0. 7, I2.oo M.-When I had made up my mind to try that food, I was filled with a feverish inpatience to do so at once. My recent experien- ces have made me so nervous and up set that seem to have lost all control over myself. 1 am come to be like a child; no will power. Just rush at a thing. But, I suspect there was a strong current of reason in my action this tiIne.. In the first place, have grown accustomed to trying any thing that promised relief. And more than this, the way came to read the adv, of this Boefgrain and the impress sion that something was to happen for the better were at the bottom, sup pose, of my eagerness to get this food. We'll! found it at -, our grocer, Got box and hurried home with it. I opened it myself, looked at it, and found it to be a fine grain-like powder of d whitish-brown color. Gave it to Mary, my wife (and as I handed it to her, think I saw twinkle i'll her eye and a twitch about her 1ips). Told her to see that it was cooked just right-to follow the directions efactiy. In about half an hour she brought it to me, and al 11:00 o'clock ate dish of it. It is now 1900 o'clock, and for the first time ill two years have eaten some- thing that does not distress me. Per haps I have found it at last.

fly effect.
 The entirely tight sleeve of coat pat tern has not been accepted, and even the tailor-made gown has some relief at the shoulder. For setting off the shoulders of a comparatively simple dress pleated ruffles like those of this picture, or in modification of them, are a serviceable device. These muffs were of the dress stuff-turquoise blue crepe de chine. This bodice had fitted lining, the fullness of the crepe being pleated in the waist, where plain satin rib bon was tied in bow at the side. A pretty yoke-like insertion of Irish gui- pure, with collar to match, was finish ed with a narrow silver embroidery.
 Maybe we wanted an organdie dress last season; we'll, we simply must have one the coming summer. The new ones are out, and they are prettier than any silk weave ever offered, crisp, trans parent pliable, exquisite in coloring and adaptable to all sorts of occasions. We shall go to swell dinners knee deep in organdie ruffies, with our shoulders all in cloud of more rufties. We shall, in short, be organdie all over and a good deal under, and if we have a silk foundation lining somewhere to all the transparent fluffery, it will be merely from force Of habit. Marrow striped effects bid fair already to be the rage in summer goods, the weaves between the stripes being so delicate that the gown will seem to be made of just these dainty ribbon lines.

FASHION NOTES.

Butterflies Perch on Women's Shoulders.
 The sleeve of the coming season will be the butterfly, It fits the arm to the shoulder and there flares into a pair of pretty wing effects caught together right on the top of the shoulder as the loops of a ribbon bow are caught by the cross piece of the bow, This sleeve adapts itself to all sorts of materials, and in gauge over the bare arm noth- ing could be lovelier, the lines of the arm being followed in every curve and the beauty of the shoulder being only set off by the pretty butterfly fullness, Tn winter material the sleeve is wrin- kled to the desired degree of fullness and seems to be held in place by a band of fur wound from wrist to shoul-

MAY BE PACIFIED.

Perhaps Cuba will yet be "pacifed" without being wholly devastated and depopulated. It seems to be a. fact that there is a scheme for Cuban autonomy. and that it is expected to reach Cuba early next month. It provides for a legislative assembly, wholly selective by an enlarged suffrage and composed of 8 senate and lower house. Besides having the sole power to vote any spec ial budget of the island, this chamber has full power to draw up and control the budget of what may be termed the imperial expenses, or the expenses of the army and navy of Spain, in so far as they are legitimately to be shared by Cuba. This budget of material ex- penses will be sent to Madrid for the approval of the Cortes. With the gov ernor-general is vested the power to appoint all officials in the Cuban gov ernment, with the exception of the di- rectors- general, or collectors of the ports, and members of the secretaries general of the governor and civil gov ernors of the provinces, who are to be selected by popular vote All officials who shall be appointed by the gover- nor- general must be confirmed by the assembly created by the reform meas ure in the same way that federal ap- pointments require confirmation by the senate in the United States. This ''Dep- utation Unica," or "Consejo di Admin istracion,'' as the Cuban assembly will be called, will have full and exclusive power to initiate all money and tariff bills. and no bill of this nature can be presented or considered by the Madrid by the Cuban assembly.
 The Havana correspondent of the New York Herald states that the Gu bans will accept such a measure pro- vided the United States shall guaran- tee that it will be carried out That is, the Spanish government is to pledge itself to put the measure into operation, with the understanding that failure to keep it's pledge is to constitute ground for interference by the United States. It is said that Minister de To- me has laid the proposed plan before ! Secretary Olney, who has approved it If it is put in operation it ought tc work we'll, and if it does it may be as 1 good for this country as a war with ! Spain would be.

The Reason For It.

Yes, three years since our progressive furniture business aggregated as much as the year 1896 did.
 Whats the reason? Why, peoples possession of cheap furniture" unmasked the hoax of "low prices The " cheap furniture cyclone collapsed. e Just before it spent its fury, we ourselves barely escaped the terrific strain that carried the merchant multitude into destruc- five cheapness. But our defen- ses held. The crisis is passed. Increasing trade sustains tho wisdom of our course.
