In the senate during tile week the
principal discussion was regarding the
Cuban question. Senator Call of Florida
made radical speech in favor of Cuban
independence. The enthusiasm of the
senate as a body, seems to have ahated
somewhat on this question. The opin-
ion was given out that President-elect
Mckinley prefers the Cuban question
to remain as it is until he comes into
Office. This possibly accounts for the
delay in action.

The best model for skirts of any sort
has gored sides and front, and back
with considerable fulness. The skirt
ends below the knee and full ruffie
is set on to give the rest of the needed
length This, lower down, in it's turn
bears two ruff1es. To give the petit
coat the proper swing, the edge of the
deep ruff1e is stiffened with feather
bone, and for wears sake is bound
with velveteen. Each of the ruffies
set upon it is hemmed for depth of
two inches and shows several rows of
machine stitching. The rows may
hold in place fine cords, or a bias
strip of haircloth, or some other stiff
ening that does not lose it's elastic
quality may be laid between the hem
and the outside Sew all seams to the
top, face and run tape from each
side gore to middle of the back, let
ting them cross in the middle breadth
and issue through eyelets. This style
of petticoat can never yawn. The silk
taffetas make the prettiest silk petit
coats, using the changeable Cor om-
bre) silks for common wear and the
Powered silks festooned with flounces
of lace for the handsomer ones.
Useful silk petticoats for travelling
and general wear are made this
spring of the shepherds check silk,
trimmed with several narrow ruffles,
each one bound with black, and the
lower two containing featherbone.-

How many young men and women
are cut off just as the future seems
brightest and fullest of promise!
They are taken away by the disease
which causes over one-siXth of all the
deaths in the world-the disease
which doctors call consumption.
There is absolutely no reason in the
world why consumption should be
fatal-why it should be even serious.
1t is a disease Of the blood, and can
be cured absolutely and always by
purifying and enriching the blood.
The only exception to this is the case
where the disease has been neglected
and improperly treated until it is
stronger that the body-until the
body has become so weak as to have
lost the ability to recuperate. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
will cure SO per cent of all cases of
consumption if used according to di-
rections. It also cures all lingering
coughs, bronchial and throat affec-

Summer Petticoats.

Where a dress must be often raised
and the petticoat thus put in evidence,
as in the case of a school teacher or a
clerk, or any business woman who
must go out every day, the summer
petticoat should be of gloire-so
called. 1t looks like fine satteen. 1t
is light in weight and wears admira-
bly,. If ones laundry can be done at
home and there is no need to save on
wash clothes, bingham petticoats are
good for everyday wear under wash
dresses. The gloire in black costs
$3.50 for petticoat made up in good
style, but it can be bought by the
yard and made for the price of far
cheaper skirts if one can do her own
sewing or can have it done at home.

STYLES in Chairs.

Chairs are no longer used in sets,
and those intended for use in the
same room need not be similar in de-
sign or color, except the frame of all
must be of the same kind of wood.
Platform rockers were found to be
so heavy and ungainly in appearance,
and to get out of order so quickly,
they soon lost their popularity, but
women still cling to the old-fashioned
kind.
The "spindle-legged" small chairs
of the empire period still obtain for
use in the parlor. They are exceed
ingly dainty and really stronger than
their fragility would betoken.
Very handsome pieces of tapestry
and brocades for chair seats can be
purchased for a greatly reduced price
if you keep your eye open for rem
nants. Leather squares for renovat-
ing shabby dining-room chairs come
also, and if you are at all handy and
careful you can use these things your
self and vastly improve the looks of
your chairs very economically.
The wide-armed, deep-seated wicker
chair no longer has an upholstered
cushion tied to the seat and back, but
following the lead of the coy corner
has three or four down cushions care
lessly disposed, to be adjusted to suit
the fancy of the one using the chair.
There is a style even for the very
popular Morris chairs. Of course you
know these are only used i'm dens, Ii
braries and sitting rooms, and are al
ways in oak, but it may be new to
you to know that when used in a Ii
brary they are upholstered in golden
brown or green, and for the sitting
room in electric blue and old rose
corduroy.
The accepted kind of chair for the
hall as seen in the fine houses is in
dark bog oak, with straight back and
arms and with feet like tigers paw
and rush bottom such as Our ances-
tors used, colored to match
No hall is furnished nowadays with
out several chairs. Formerly one was
put just inside the door; now, if it is
a square hall, there is a long one in
front, one in back and one in the
landing above.-Boston Beacon.

AHELPFUL CORNER.
For the Household Department:
Helpful Hints.

AS rule the ability of the family
to live within bounds of their income
rests with the wife and mother. She
not only contrives to make both ends
meet, but makes the most that can be
made out of little, and manages per-
haps to save a little for hard times.
Our many household papers and
magazines contain many suggestions
and hints which are a great help; and
if more tired mothers would spare a
little while each day to read bit in
some bright helpful paper, they
would be rested and cheered, and Of
ten return to some task in economy
with suggestions which make the task
a pleasure. Making over half-worn-
out dresses for the younger girls in
the family is not always difficult, and
often beautiful costumes are created
in this way.
But usually there seems no way to
fit the boys for next season without
buying everything new. One mother
I know has a wonderful ''knack" at
saving in that line.
When the oldest boy, John, went
away to school, it took about all that
could be spared to buy clothes for
three boys to fit him alone; but the
other boys knew mother would man
age some way, and she did.
An all wool grey suit which John
had outgrown, but would fit Willie,
was washed with ivory soap in way
she knew would not cause it to shrink
or ''full," and then dyed with black
diamond dye for wool, and after be-
ing pressed and new buttons sewed
in place of the old ones which had
been cut off before washing, Willie
thought mother had not disappointed
him at all; and he did not envy John
with his new suit, for his own looked
just as we'll, and cost only few cents
for the soap, dye and buttons.
But little Jim must not be Sighted
so a pair of papa's Sunday pants"
which have become a little worn are
washed, dyed dark shade of brown
and cut over to fit him. Another out
grown coat of Johns is renovated and
made into a nice jacket, and he feels
we'll dressed too, and does not appear
with the cowed, shamefaced counte-
nance of boy who feels ''cramped''
in shabby clothes.
Mothers, never, if you can avoid do
ingso, buy cheap clothing, but always
get a good quality all-wool, which
looks we'll, wears we'll and can be
made over to great advantages; while
a cheap article never wears well. Ii
is always economy to buy the best.

Warning to Nervous Parents.


 Nervous mothers and fathers make their children nervous and under these influences a good bringing up' is inn possible Excitement surrounds such children from their earliest years. The father and mother take turns in being cross, and disputes over trivial matters are frequent. The puzzle is that the household stays intact under these con- ditions, but it generally does and the children suffer. Do you expect such children to grow up into calm, useful men and women? Isn't it' a great in justice to give young lives such ham, dicap? This condition of things can be remedied, but the local doctor has nothing in his cabinet that will smooth the troubled domestic sea. Such things are beyond his reach. Dr. Greene, the great specialist, of 5 West 14th street, New York city, discoverer of the won derful Nervura, will give you advice that will take the cloud from your homes. His remedies soothe excited and excitabe nerves quickly. They were discovered after years of re- seach, and are of wonderful potency. All nervous people should consult this great specialist It costs absolutely nothing to do this. If you can't call on him write him fully, and his advice will be given you free of all charge. Don't go on bringing up your children in such unwholesome atmosphere.
