An exchange calls the republi.
can party lucky because it went
out Of power just before a panic
and came back into power just as
rood times are coming in again.
The history Of the republican
party shows that good times have
always attended its management
of the nations financial and indus
trial policies. There is something
more than luck in the coincidence

Prosperity has come. says one OF
our contemporaries, but 1t won t
last it is only temporary and it Is
not due to the republican party.
Very we'll, we will not quarrel
about that 1t is a great conces-
sion to have you acknowledge that
it has come. Reports from the
commercial agencies seem to be Of
the same opinion. Bradstreet' $
latest says, Evidences of wide
spread revival in demand for mer-
chandise and other products have
become so numerous as to compel
general recognition. The press
has, therefore, ceased discussing
whether trade has really improved
or not and has begun measuring
the volume of business compared
with preceding periods. - Dunn
& Co.'S report says, Every city
reporting this week notes increas-
ing trade and nearly all report
bright crop prospects, The great
change in business is emphasized
by the presence OF multitude of
buyers from all parts Of the coun-
try by the statements of the situ-
alton at their homes and more forci-
bly, by the heavy purchases they
are making Lumber mills III the
south cannot keep up with their
orders and small CONSUMERS of iron
and steel are buying as they have
not done since 1892 All this is
encouraging There is life for
business aud hope for the future
in every line of it even if a parti.
san press refuses to concede the
point.

aside from the wonderful physical

when we study election returns.
Two great parties united under
Mr. Bryan's free silver banner in
the last campaign. These parties
i'll 1892 polled 8, 597,946 votes.
The increase OF popular vote from
1892 TO 1890 was IS per cent.
Adding this to the vote of the two
parties above and we have the
amount Mr.. Bryan should have
polled had he carried even the two
parties that united for him p
T5S2,637 He did poll $500, e2s
votes or l,o797I2 votes less than
party vote of the democrats and
populists combined. In other
words he lost over a million votes
in the campaign. SO much for the
man who fathered the creates,
political campaign in the history
of this country, who by the
strength of his individuality at
trac,ed the admiration and love o
his fellow citizens.' A few more
campaigns like this and the two
parties would be wrecked for all
time.

Yes, He Had Been In Prison.

The evidence the witness had given had
been very strongly against the lawyers
side of the case, and, lawyerlike, he was
trying his best to break the testimony oI
throw discredit on the witness. He had
tried browbeating, but the man ignored
his efforts and in an easy self contained
way stuck To his story. He tried cross
questioning him, but with no better sue
cess, and he was ON the point of giving uI
when chance remark caught his ear and
riveted his courage.
81 gather from what you just said that
you have been in prison. Is that true?''
Yes, sir l have been in prison
The attorneys eyes snapped and con
tented smile spread over his features as he
drew sigh of relief, He proceeded to
make the most of his triumph, though he
felt confident that his case was won.
1.-The jury will notice that the witness
confesses having been In prison. How
long were you in prison."
Eighteen months. :"
"You do not pretend that you were not
justly conflnedg'
mo, sir. Under the circumstances,

"Of course the gentlemen of the jury

evidence of man of this kind. Will you
please state the name of the PRISON." +.

WHY Women Work.

Several decades ago Forney's Prog
ress, Philadelphia publication of some
consequence and much originality, raised
the question of "why women work, and
commented upon the curious fact that the
world had yet TO be convinced that women
do not love work any better than men.
They are credited with dependence, with
"a love of ease and luxury and when "a sala-
ried position Is in question the woman has
to take less because "she needs less 1t
cannot be because she spends less, for the
extravaganza of woman was dwelt upon
by Solomon and jeremiah and it is "A song
that has never known rest The reason
for the difference in wages is generally
found to be in the assertion that women
who do not need support, or who have
few responsibilities, crowd into the paid
here. IL she loves ease, why does she work.
If she spends more, how is 1t she needs lessS
The truth Is that very few work from
any other reason than necessity. Here and
there is one who loves independence, works
for 1t and deserves IL, and here and there
Is another who would rather work than
forego certain luxuries, and she earns
them, but the majority of women work
because they have responsibilities, and as
a class they are our most reliable sober
and economical workers, for no woman
with family of little children gambles
away their bread and butter, or no sister
or daughter who is of necessity the bread
winner wastes what she earns and comes
home to sad, hungry family, bringing
them empty hands and an indifference to
their needs. s.-Womankind

Dainty Gloves.

II you would have always dainty gloves,
don't send them TO the cleaners. 1t Is far
better to keep on hand small bottle of
gasoline and TO go lightly over the surface
of the glove with this and small sponge
every time before putting away. After
the cleansing process the gloves should be
drawn off, inflated by blowing into them
and hung up in a draft OF air. Sprinkle
inside little sachet powder, fold and lay
carefully away In white or blue tissue pa
per.
Buttons should be firmly sewed on new
gloves before wearing, and If the hand is
plump 1t Is we'll to clip small pieces of kid
from old gloves and sew them under the
buttons of the new pair. This holds the
buttons fast and prevents the kid from
tearing. Clasps are now in favor and are
often preferred TO buttons, for they are ex
ceedingly strong and are very pretty in
silver, gold, enamel, pearl, etc. In regard
TO mending gloves, one should have on
hand one of the braids that come in about
20 different shades of linen or silk; also a
few glove needles, which come specially
for this purpose. York Advertiser

A Meteor When In Business.

Weowe our immunity to our atmosphere,
which serves as IA bulietproof cuirass for
the world. When meteor enters the at
mosphere, the friction produced by its gi-
gantic speed makes it flash up like the ar
row of Acestes, only more So The ingen-
ious experiments of Lord Kelvin have
shown that the heat thus produced, just as
a brake showers sparks from II carriage
wheel or lucifer match lights on the
box, Is sufficient TO consume the meteor as
if it were suddenly cast into furnace
heated to three or four million degrees
Obviously the smaller meteors are utterly
consumed before they have penetrated far
into the atmosphere, which their fate has
shown to rise to "A height of about 120
miles
Only very large one can descend, as
that of Madrid is said to have done, To
within 20 miles of the earth before being
burst by the expansion due TO heat and by
the resistance of the air. The fact that
fragments do occasionally reach the earth
is the best proof of the great size of some
of the meteors that we encounter. If it
were not for the blessed air, " the explo-
sion of them all, with the accompanying
fervent heat, would take place in our
midst. 1t is safe To say that such state
of things would render our great towns
uninhabitable. In London we are some
what inclined to giId at the atmosphere,
with its smoke, and its fog, and its east
wind. But none of us can tell how often
IL has saved him from terrible and invis-
ible fate, in being as Mark Twain has it,
"shot with rock - IL we are more in
clined to recognize the atmosphere services
in future, the Madrid meteor will not have
exploded in vain.-London Spectator

brighten the Kitchen.

The disposition to have everything about
the house bright and cheerful has been
growing noticeably OF late, and 1t Is a
most commendable tendency. IL ought TO
be cultivated regarding the kitchen espe-
cially In connection with the other work
ing and living rooms of the household.
One of the daily papers strikes blow In
the right direction when it says: The
kitchen should be-for health's sake IL for
no other-the brightest room In the house
excepting only the nursery and the room
where the children sleep. 1t should have
every convenience for saving labor and
steps and be we'll ventilated. 1t need not
be a very large room II everything Is com
pactly arranged in 1t, and 1t should have
the walls lined with cupboards, built in
the house. The sinks should not be- In
closed, or II they are bit damp they will
get smelling bad in very short time and
nothing will ever overcome it. You will
find on inquiry that in old houses, where
the kitchen Is poked of under the back
stoop and has but one window facing on a
walled up area, or north, the people OF that
house had always some member OF the
family sick. Microbes and infection love

At Forty still Charming.

The old description of fair, fat and
forty is out OF date now, and instead the
woman of 40 Is generally fair, in the sense
of being pleasant to look upon, and as
young and active in body as the woman
of eight and twenty or thirty. Thanks TO
tennis, cycling and other outdoor recrea-
tions, women keep their young, trim look
ing figures far longer than they used to
do and at 40 a woman, instead of being
reckoned decidedly elderly, is often at her
very best At that time she has learned
how to use all her charms and gifts in
the most effective fashion, and yet she has
lost the arrogance and conceit which so
often mar an otherwise attractive girl.
At the age of 40 woman has rubbed
of by contact with the world all her form
er crudities Now she Is dignified and self
possessed, whereas formerly she was awk-
ward and diffident. Now she has to listen
as we'll as to talk, and when she speaks she
has something to say which is worthy of
attention, for during the years which have
passed she has had time To gather expert
ence in the art of pleasing others, and also
knowledge of men and matters of which
"a girl knows nothing but on which she
often theories largely, and not at all in
accordance with facts.
In matters of taste in dress woman Is
generally at her best at her fourth decade,
for she feels then that it Is absurd TO think
that any and every color suits her, and
therefore she is far more careful than "a
young girl would be in making sure that
the colors she wears suit her complexion
and the cut of her gowns becomes her fig
ure. A woman of 40, If spinster, is often
infinitely more attractive TO men than u
younger woman, and the reason is not far
TO seek 1t is that she is, as a rule, better
educated and not only has truer views of
life and its many problems, but she has
outlived the time when II ever, she thinks
of marriage as the goal OF her existence.
BY now she regards il as the happiest pos
sible destiny for either man or woman, If
it be really happy; but, knowing how
happy many unions are the reverse of this,
she is thankful for the joys which she has
and contented with them. She is, there
fore, bon camarade with man and talks
to him freely and naturally, and accepts
any little attentions which he may offer
her simply as they are meant, and In her
men friends never troubles herself TO look
out for possible suitors. s.-Pittsburg Dis

A Straight Tip.

He was a squire-''laird' they called
him in Scotland-and he had been paying
a visit to "A neighbor. The guests on leav-
ing found a row OF. servants in the hall and
duly fell in with their silent demand.
One of the visitors, who knew the
squire's avarice, waited for him just TO see
the look of severity arise on his face and
the answering looks of contempt from the
servants as he passed each serving man
and maid. But the laird came smiling
on. With extended hand he touched each
ready palm and sent n smile like fitting
sunshine all along the line.
Our astonished spectator speedily sought
an explanation, saying, "You must have
been very free with your money to please
them so well"

White Ostrich Feathers.

To clean white ostrich feathers cut some
pure white soap into small pieces and pour
boiling water on them and add little
mite of soda. When the soap is dissolved
and the water cool enough, dip the feath-
ers In and draw them through the hand.
Do this several times until the lather Is
dirty Then make a clean lather and re-
peat the operation. Afterward rinse the
feathers in cold water, slightly blued. Pat
the feathers between the hands and shake
them over the fire until they are perfectly
dry Curl them by drawing each fiber be-
tween the thumb and the dull edge of a
silver knife With little care and pa
thence the result will be all that can be
