DIFFERENT WOMEN.

A man who has had long diplo.
matte career and knows whereof he
speaks has been making an interest
ing comparison Of the different women
Of Europe. He says that in England
tue average accomplishments of the
class known as gentlewomen are not
high. Every girl is supposed to learn
how to sketch and play the piano, but
her acquaintance with modern Ian.
gueges and history is nil. English
girls are exuberant in health, spirits
aud vitality, due to their fonaness for
outdoor life, but they do not shine in
any particular except riding and lawn
tennis. If conversation is preached
on any subject outside of their imme.
diate interest they are dull and at sea.
''1t would be difficult, says this man,
''to find in England o gentlewoman
who is acquainted with the identity
OF the President OF the United States
and who does not fancy New Orleans
is bat a'few hours from Boston,"
In France there are daughters Of the
old aristocracy who have made point
OF being graduated from the public
schools and obtaining diplomas, fitting
them to earn their living as govern.
esses and teachers, but this is excep.
tional. What the French woman may
lack in knowledge, however, she makes
up in grace, chic and elegance.
Austrian and Hungarian women can
not be considered accomplished, and
an intellectual one would be as much
Of an oddly as a spirituelle French
woman. Dancing and riding are their
only accomplishments.
The German gentlewoman's accom-
plishments are of the domestic order !;
she is the reverse OF intellectual and
possesses none Of those graces of mind
that are feminine accomplishments in
the strictest sense of the word.
Italian and Spanish women are dis.
tinguished above all others OF Europe
for their profound ignorance, due to
their inourable Incidence. They do
not possess even the art or elegance of
dress, and while the Spaniard has her
artful fan and mantilla to delude
people into believing she is artistic,
the Italian hos nothing but her chance
beauty.
The most accomplished and brilliant
of European women is the Russian,
who, besides vivacious temperament,
has marvellous facility for acquiring
foreign languages and power of
adaptability that is wholly American.
But her attachments are invariably of
superficial character. st. Louis

FASHION NOTES.


A narrow belt is strictly passe. The
ceinture should be q broad girdle of
velvet or satin.
The color known as ''Napoleon
blue" is said TO have no connection
with the warrior of that name.
Of course, Russian sable is the
queen of all furs. It is very durable,
extravagant]y becoming to many per-
sons, and is priced an heirloom, being
handed down from generation to gen.
GRAFTON.
A fur called moulin is among the
most popular of thu inexpensive furs.
This is sort of sheepskin, and while
it is very durable, and some qualities
of it are rather pretty, it is too cheap
to be used with the more elegant furs.
The general tendency is to discard
all stiff interlinings on the newest
gowns. This does very we'll where
one can afford a crisp tafteta silk lining
in each new dress, but when this is
not possible not few women are pro.
testing against the use of nothing but
a soft.fnished percaline lining, with
no sort of interlining added even as
facing.
Genuine furs are extremely expen'
sive, and although few of what are
called imitation are worn, they are not
particularly durable. nor are they so
becoming or dressy as the seal. An
imitation OF seal is made from mink,
which is plucked and SHARED. 1t is
firm and tolerably durable, but has a
little fine crinkle, which IS never seen
in genuine seal. 5.
A tailor.made gown of Russian
green serge is trimmed on the bodice
with orange yellow velvet, which is to
be the fashion among very many other
things of this warm, brilliant color.
The round waist has box.plaited
front of the serge trimmed with tine
gold buttons. There are small yoke
and girdle of the yellow velvet, and
also removable cuffs and rundown
collar with q standing one also of the
velvet lined with yellow satin. Tho
skirt flares little on the front and
sides, is very full at the back, and
lined with blue and gold short silk.
Otter is an extremely expensive fur,
and not at all common. There are
very few garments made of genuine
otter, partly because of its high cost.
and partly on account of its lack Of
durability. While it bears close re.
semblance to the best qualities of seal.
it is no longer, softer and finer, there
fore has less wearing capabilities.
High.grade sealskin is, unquestionably.
one of the richest furs ever employed
for garments. 1t is becoming to al.
most every one, its dark, velvety sur
face, and the ease with which it lends
itself to lines and curves, making it a
fayorite with all lovers Of fine goods

SCHOOL OF GARDENING FOR GIRLS.

SCHOOL OF GARDENING FOR GIRLS.
A London papers tells of school
of gardening for girls in suburb OF
Berlin. It is a comparatively new
venture, having been founded two
years ago by private lady. At pres
ent it seems to be succeeding. The
pupils-fitteen in number-do the
work entirely without e1traneous old.
growing all sorts of vegetables, as we'll
as apples, melons, grapes, pears and
cucumbers, for which ready sale is
found. They wear dark gray uni.
form, consisting of bodice and a
skirt of reasonable length, which, by
an ingenious arrangement, can be
made quite short for working in, and
let down at will. The girls beat all
the men at the recent Board of Agri-
culture examination, and one of them
has Just obtained q post as gardener
to q gentleman at salary of $40 q
ves.. with board and lodging. They
are all fine specimens OF healthy, Wig
orous young womanhood. Comment
ing on this, The Lady says: "Perhaps
we zee the thin edge Of the wedge! In
the near future women may eligible

taste than men, and should be quite

urged that digging is not harder work

recreations, nor is it dirtier process

THE ARTISTIC GIRDLE.

Here IS way to spend money if
you have more than you want. Have
made for you one OF the new girdles.
It is not even distantly related to the
belt, and does not clasp the waist at
all. 1t is formed of plates an inch
wide and long, linked together with
rings. The latest fancy is to have one
OF antique book-clasps, curlously
worked by the gold or sllversmith. If
the clasps have been taken from some
ancient missal. they probably show
some tiny scene or figure from Scrip.
tural authorities or the lives of the
saints. In one or two cases date is
found on the reverse of the clasp. OF
course, the subjects can be copied by
clever worker in metals, and the de-.
sirable look of antiquity can be given
in way that makes it difficult to de.
tect an original antique from adroit
imitation. The girdle chain is intended
to be tackled through the rings, in the
middle of the back at the bodice, as
far as possible below the waist line.
On no account must it be at the waist.
The girdle is long enough to pass over
the shoulders. 1t does not unclasp,
but it may be- sold to terminate with q
bonbonniere or pomander box, which
hangs far below the waist, in front.
The general effect produced is Of the
girdle worn by generations of stage
Marguerites. It must look as if it
were about to fall of, but in reality
the Arm stitching at the back of the
ccrsaoe holds it steady and perfectly
secure.-New York Journal.

of the incidents of the pational row be-

form Press association, an organization
OF Populist editors, is split on the fusion
question The split arose over the fact
ing Mr.. RoZelle, called the national

Mr.. Rozelle thought that he saw in
the call for a meeting at Memphis a
plan by the middle of the readers to
capture the association Accordingly
he sent out a circular letter a few days
States explaining what he thought was
the purpose of the Memphis meeting
and called for a meeting for the same
day at Kansas City.
Mr. Rozelle has been suspended for
issuing the circular, President Wander

REQUISITION HONORED.
Governor Leedy Telegraphs Governor
Stephens to Protect His Prisoner.

Gov. Leedy yesterday honored a req
u1sit1on from Gov. Stevens of Missouri
for Fred Chisholm, a Benton county
colored man who persuaded a white
girl to run a way from home They
came to Lawrence and have been liv-
ing near there on a farm
Some months ago a requisition was
presented to Gov. Morrill,, but it was
not honored because it was shown to
the governor that if Chisholm was re-
turned to Missouri he would probably
be lynched- a second application was
made yesterday and honored
George Laird, deputy sheriff, secured
the requisition and started to Warsaw,
Mo, with his prisoner
This morning the governor received
telegram from Kansas City stating
that the officers feared mob violence
against Chisholm. Immediately Gov
1eedy sent the following message to
Gov. Stevens:
Il have honored requisition for Fred
Chisholm. He has been taken to War
saw / am informed violence is threat
ened and trust that you will see that
the prisoner is protected"

AFRAID OF FREE SILVER.
a Kansan Gets Into Court for Threat
ening to Wreck Trains

: If H. A Lindennyer of Dorrance had
not been alarmed because he feared the
government would open the mints to
silver he might not now be before the
district court on a charge of attempt
ing to extort money from the Union
Pacific Railroad company.
Lindenmyer had a COW killed on the
Union Pacific and he insisted he should
be paid the value of the animal before
the country adopted free silver" The
claim agent of the Union Pacific did
not sympathize with his preciptancy
and finally refused to pay the claim at
ALL
Then Lindenmyer said he would
wreck a train if the company did not
pay him, but he was arrested for in
timidation instead and is now being
tried before a jury in the district court.

People shudder at the tales of Monte
Carlo suicides, but look with perfect
equanimity while friends and loved ones
commit just as certain suicide by neglecting
their health. Trifing disorders of the di-
gestion persistently neglected lead to i'm
purity of the blood, the tissues of the body
are inperfec6ly nourished, and ernacia-
ton and debility follow. In the case of
that dread disease, consumption, imperfect
1y nourished tissue is built up in the lungs,
forming suitable soil for the germs of that
deadly disease. Oue-seventh of all the
deaths each year are due to consumption.
This fearful death rate could be easily
avoided if the proper remedy was re-
sorted to.
A sure preventive and cure of consump-
ton is found in DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ica1 Discovery. It cures % per cent of all
cases. 1t corrects all disorders Of digestion,
inyigorates the liver, and makes the blood
pure and plentiful. 1t is the great blood
maker, flesh builder and nerve invigorator
It gets into the blood and acts directly upon
the lungs, building up healthy tissue and
driving out all impurities and disease germs.
Thousands have testified to its wonderful
merits. Druggists sell it.
