MODERN TOILET ETHICS VERSUS THOSE

Few things show more accurately the difference
hetween the modern American woman and the
woman who has stayed $780, than the increasing
attention paid physical culture ana the FREQUENT

and dantiness of the former.

Two Uses for Money.

Money is what it will do. A piece ol
money was seen ''doing" what it was
never made for. in front of the Mail
and Express office this morning. A
smoker had cigar and match, but
no convenient place to strike a light.
The sole of his shoe was damp, and he
may have had an esthetic reluctance
to join that ignoble army that marks
buildings with saltpetre scars. He
fumbled in his change pocket, found a
half dollar, struck his match upon it,
and walked away serenely putting the
the cigar ofthe Havana.
Not every wearer of eye glasses
knows that a piece of paper money is
the best thing with which to polish
dizziness. Sometimes the clean, soft
handkerchief carried for the purpose
fails to remove that blur on the glass
that 30 vexes the wearer. A bill of any
denomination, but not too new will, if
used in place of the linen make the
lens like crystal in moment. The
action may look like vulgar ostenta
tion of wealth, but it costs nothing af-
ter all.-New York Mail and Express.

White Glover for Pasture.

ed with white clover seed. 1t is said
to be natural to such land, which
means that it has so long occupied the
soil that there is plenty OF seed to
grow whenever it has fair chance. It
is an excellent pasture grass, as its
roots run near the surface and quickly
respond even to light rains, which will
not revive other grasses. 1t is greatly
helped by dressing of gypsum. On
long cultivated ground, especially
where no clover has been thickly seed
ed, there will be little white clover
visible. But even there it is often
ready when it gets the chance. II the
first clover crop is alsike, which does
not sprout after it's first cutting, a
vigorous growth of aftermath clover

alsike was cut, the white clover was
too small except for eyes that were
sharply looking for it to see it.-Amer-

Happy all the Year.

A New England paper says that the
Texas negroes are happy only in water
melon season. According to an en-
.thusiastic Texan this is all rubbish.
He says in the first place that Texas
'possums are ripe in October, and the
crop is bigger than that of all other
States combined. With the springs
full of catfish in the spring time, the
summer filled with watermelons, the
autumn and winter with 'possums and
sweet potatoes, and all the seasons
percolated with revivals, camp meet
in's, and "baptizin's," the Texas me-
groes are the happiest mortals in this
world all the year round. It looks as
if the Texan had the best of the argu-
ment.-New York Evening Sun.

A Church Without Plaster.

Chicago is about to have a church
devoid of plaster. The inner walls will
be of brick. There will not be even
wooden window sashes, as the panes
of glass will be set into the brick. 1t
is st. Paul's Catholic church. The
foundations are being laid directly on
bedrock, which comes near the sur.
face where it is being erected. The
brick for the interior trimming is being
especially pressed in fanciful designs.
The church will be completed by the
winter of 1898. 1t will be 2O9 feet long
by 108 feet wide, and it's two towers
will be 80 feet square by 245 feet high.

one day last week Knebb saw an elder

his name as Walker, and said he was

Theorles Fall in Practice.

Men are now living who heard the
eminent scientist, Professor Silliman,
declare in a lecture at Yale college, af
ter careful mathematical calculation,
that no boat could contain a sufficient
amount of coal to propel it across the
Atlantic ocean. It is not likely that
he ever dreamed that ships would be
constructed which could contain and
consume nearly 2,00O tons on single
voyage.

A project for utilizing the immense
water power at Richmond, for the pro-

definite shape. It is believed that
when the enterprise is established it
will do more for the material develop

enterprises attempted. There is more

If converted into electric power would
be of great benefit, not only to present

were covered up with sediment from
