AN UPRIGHT CARRIAGE,
1t Adds to the Beauty of Maid as Well
as Matron.


as Matron.
There re many things in the lives
of women which tend to develop car
riage of the body anything but upright,
says the Dietetic Gazette. Girls who
tend the baby become one-sided be-
arm more than on the other They
might be taught the better way by
their parents or teachers. There are
multitudes of little girls in all large
cities whose chief business is to tend
the baby while their mothers work. De-
formity is common among them If
girl has any pride in being upright in
body as well as in morals she can, even
if she has an occupation which tends
to make her crooked, do much herself
to prevent it. In the first place care
fully cultivate the sense which tells
her when she is standing straight and
when she is not. BY paying attention
to this muscular sense it becomes in
time very acute. BY neglecting it the
sense becomes dull-is paralyZed. Gull
tivate it daily or several times day
by assuming the upright attitude.
Stand before the glass and see when
you are straight, or get a friend to
tell you, and then put yourself in this
attitude whenever you stand or walk
or sit at any labor in which you are
engaged. If you have only to walk
across the room do it in an upright at
titude. If you have only to stand and
converse with friend in the street.
on the road, at party, get yourself
so accustomed to the upright attitude
that you will feel uncomfortable in any
other. In time an upright habit will
be established and constant attention
| to it will not be required.

New Inventions,

Inventors sometimes make the mis-
take in passing by simple inventions
as unimportant. A Council Bluffs, la,
inventor will undoubtedly before long
be mentioned as one of the inventors
who made a fortune simply because he
pressed a series of rings into little
circular disk of metal, resembling
nothing SO much as a bottom out of an
oil can. This little invention, which we
have mentioned before, forms a sound
ing toy and when properly vibrated
produces simply wonderful results. In
ventors interested in this most simple
of late inventions, can obtain a free
sample in addressing G. w. SIZES &
Co., registered patent lawyers, Bee
Building, Omaha, Neb. The copyright
ed cuts show three well-known mech
anical movements.

WANT JURIEs ABOLISHED.

Austin, Tex, December 4.-The Nat
ional Prison Association decided today
to hold its next annual meeting in In.
diaDapolis.- The committee on criminal
law reform IN its report states that the
progress of crime is something fright
full and declares that it could be most
successfully checked by the following
changes in the handling of the criminals
of the world
Greater security for punishment, doing
away with all the technicalit1es in trials,
adjustment of juries, making conviction
more summary and trial more speedy, de-
priving defendants of the right to ap-
peal to higher court, Offering rewards
for the discovery and conviction of
criminals, abolishment of poverty ,remov-
ing or restricting the power to pardon,
prohibiting the use of intoxicating
liquors, developing scientific mother
hood, state regulation of marriage, re-
strioting immigration, popular education
and colonization of criminals, the refor-
nation of criminals by the abolition of
the definite sentence.
The committee states that some of it's
suggestions are practically impossible at
present. but If followed as closely as
possible the morals of the country would
be greatly improved and crime be cores
pondingly decreased.

without any great effort. 1t is believed
that when a systematic attempt at IN
creasing the membership is made, the
number can be doubled in few months
The Christian Civic league has no idea
of forming a separate political party.
The idea is to obtain such strength and
power that it will become "A factor In
state politics so that it can use It's infiu-
ence to secure the nomination of proper
men for public officials and aid in their
election. Nearly all of the league mem
bers belong to the Republican party, but
the league is in no sense a partisan or
a sectarian organization. 1t desires
simply to add to its mem bership lists the
names of those men who believe in good
government and the enforcement of good
laws.
I'm Portland there is no organization.
No attempt has been made to organize an
auxiliary league here, ami it is doubtful
If any attempt is made this spring. The
success of the work in Aroosteok county
is very f1attering and there will soon be
made systematic attempt to crystalize
public sentiment there and stimulate it
into activity along the lines of reform
suggested by the constitution of the
league -

ceipts will come in from sugar. Never
theless there is considerable apprehension
even among those who wish different
result that all that can be got out of the
law under the most favorable oircum
stances will not be sufficient, and that a
supplementary measure must be passed.
A good deal depends upon the appropria-
tions of the coming session. If they be
kept down to the actual necessities the
chances are that the Dingely law will be
sufficient, but it is understood that there
will be strong pressure for lavish appro-
priations for public buildings. The Speak
er was able to hold back this threatening
flood at the last session, but of course it
has accumulated strength and volume
since then that will make it heroulean
task to hold it back again entirely.
The indications now are that the Cuban
question will not cause SO much comno-
ton as was at one time anticipated. A
sentiment has been growing in favor of
giving the Sagasta ministry fair chance
to demonstrate what its new policy is
capable of in composing the island, and
this plan is almost sure to receive the
warm approval and support of the Presi-
dent. OF course there will be opposition
to it. especially in the Senate, hut unless
something occurs in Cuba or in Spain to
put different face on matters it will ex-
haust itself in talk.
The question about which there is most
difference of opinion is the currency, -
whether a sweeping measure of reform
should be attempted or the subject
be kept in abatement until there is a
better prospect that some measure can be
enacted. 1t is admitted on all sides that
no radical measure can be got through
the Senate, yet for all that there are some
members of both houses who are in favor
of taking the subject up and formulating
measure. Their idea is that such pro-
cedure will have an educational value. an
will at least show the country where the
different parties stand on the subject We
fear, however, that there has not yet been
sufficient crystalizing of opinion in any
party to render possible agreement upon
any sweeping measure, and that the lesson
and the only one taught the country by
the attempt will be that all parties are at
skies and seyens on the subject. Possibly
something can be done by the way Of
making clearer some of the existing laws,
especially the one relating to the REISSUE
of green backs, but further than this it will
probably be impossible for Congress to &C
while the Senate remains as it is today
Any measure for the permanent retire
ment of the greenbacks is entirely out OF
the question. 1t is doubtful If a majority
OF Republican members of the House
even could be brought to the support oil
proposition of that kind.

THE SESSION OF coNGREss.

The first regular session of the Fifty
fifth Congress begins today. Organization
was effected at the special session, go that
as soon as the two houses are called to or
DIR they will be ready to receive any COM
munication which the President may see
fit to make to them. The Presidents
message, therefore, is likely to be read in
both houses before adjournment today.
There has been a great deal of forecasting
Of tie legislation of this session by promi-
nen members Of both houses, and as to
ma ~ matters these forecasts have been
IN substantial agreement. 1t is agreed
that the Hawaiian annexation treaty is
almost sure to be ratified by the Senate,
though there is strong opposition which
many insist upon protracting the debate.
Yet there are no indications at present
that pure filbustering is to be resorted to.
1t is true undoubtedly that ratification
could be prevented by the opposition,
though it numbers less than q third of
the Senate, if 1t were disposed to use all
the weapons which the Senate rules, or
more correctly lack of rules, puts in its
hands. But at present the opposition
seem disposed to be content with ex-
pressing fully their objections to the
treaty and stopping there.
The tariff was settled at the special
session and there is likely to be no dis
turbance of that unless it should appear OF
the latter part of the session that the
Dingley measure is not likely to pro-
duce revenue enough. Then some simple
addition would be made solely for the
purpose of revenue. AS to the probability
of contingency of this kind arising it is
not easy to speak with assurance at this
time. That the measure up to this point
has not produced revenue enough is adj
mitted. but it is urged that the deficiency
is chiefly attributable to the large antici
patory importations, and sthat when
the present stocks are used up and i'm
portation has resumed its normal volume
the revenue will be sufficient. 1t is GER
tainJy true that In few months large re-

WIDOWS WITH INCOMES BARRED

Washington, December 4.-Assistant
Secretary of the Interior Davis has made
a decision il dependent widows case
which is of special Importance as empha-
sizing policy affecting large class of
claimants. Many widows are applying
for pensions who have large incomes.
The case in which the present ruling is
made is that of Louise Wiemersiage,
widow of an Illinois volunteer. She owns
fifty acres twelve miles out of Chica-
go, which yields an annual income of
5000; the house in which she lives is
worth $4,000 and the only dependent is a
daughter capable of self support. The
case is rejected as the claimant is not
dependent on daily labor.

Negotiations for the suppression of
pelagio sealing are now being carried on
with England direct, owing to tho claim
set up by Premier Laurier that pelagic
sealing was carried on by virtue of an act
of Parliament and that Canada could not
suspend it if 10 would. Awhile ago the
imperial government refused to take any
action in the matter on the ground that
Canada was really the party interested,
and now Canada refuses and refers us back
to England. 1t looked as it we were
being played with.

The Spaniards are gaining lot of
victories in the province of Pinar del Rio
if the reports they send out are trust
worthy. But it initiates very much
against their probability to recall that Pi-
mar del Rio is one of the provinces which
Gen. Weyler claimed were thoroughly
pacifed. Evidently that claim was not
true.
