FAILURE IN BUSINESS,
Litt.c Habits Gnsw Rir Bo,e,.


A large number Of men are unsuc-
cessiul IN their business because OF
some small habit or habits that rob
them Of the vitality necessary to
push q business rs it should be.
The man who is thoroughly we'll
and can plan with clear brain and
work out his plans with a healthy
body, is the one who will be in the
procession when his neighbor has to
drop out.
Some men can stand hurtful habits
better than others, but when one
finds out that he is ailipg a little
each day, let him remedy the trou.
BILE and have the machine work right,
for that is the sure road to riches
and happiness.

SILVER MEN WIN THEIR POINT.
Principal and Interest of the Bonds in Dis

Principal and Interest of the Bonds in Dis
pute Payable in Lawful Money.
Walker of Massachusetts,. chairman of
the committee on banking and cur
rency, declared it was as notorious as
that the sun shines that there were GER
tain states of the Union whose none
tary system was beyond the reach of
congressional legislation. There were
seven states where all transactions were
in gold, and yet it was curious, he said.
that the representatives from those
states on this floor sought to compel the
rest of the Union to take so cents on a
dollar. He insisted that congress should
not interfere with private contracts. He
urged the house to vote down an amend
ment that had been submitted by Nc
Millin which was as follows: Provided
| that the principal and interest of the
bonds funded under this act shall be
payable in any lawful money of the
United States, except the Arizona bonds
above described heretofore issued"
Bartlett of New York, who described
himself as a gold Democrat" warned
| the house that the adoption of this
amendment was equivalent to a declar-
alton in favor of soft money!
| a financial debate had been precipitated
| by the bill, and expressed the hope that
this bill would not be run ashore and
wrecked on a silver coast.
Hartman again got the floor to deny
| the statements of Walker who, he said.
had furnished more misinformation to
| the world on this question than all the
| rest of the house." He insisted that gold
| contracts We're not made in his state.
| and read one of fifteen letters from
cashier of banks in his state all denying
gold contracts. His correspondent said
he had been in the banking business for
| twenty years. and had never seen a
gold note.
In justification of his statement Walker
produced and read some gold notes
made in Utah and California. He said
he regretted it If he had made a mis-
take in enumerating the seven states,
but he insisted that there were seven
states where practically all time obli-
cations were payable in gold.
McMillin's amendment was agreed to
t-149 to latter which the bill passed.

The rlodiSll Couture.

A wise person asserts that eccen-
tricity is the keynote of evening
coiffures, and the latest coitfures
show growing tendency to adopt
the old time headdress in all it's
ugliness. Fortunately, fashion
never does repeat itself without
some improved variations, so while
the modern arrangement of feathers,
aigrettes and jeweled wings tower
rather high for becoming effect,
there is hope that modern taste
may stay the hand of progress in
this direction and allow the old
fashioned looming headdress to re-
main a memory. The hair is piled
high on the head III loops and
twists which occasionally form the
teapot handle, worn below the
crown of the head so long, and the
latest arrangement in front is what
is called the divided pompadour,
with a few curling locks ON the fore
head.
The one feature of hairdressing
which does not change is the un
dulating wave all around the head.
This is so essentially becoming to
every woman that it is likely to
remain as long as there is enough
hair left to curl. Nothing makes
so much difference in a wOman's
appearance as the way her hair is
arranged, and of all the arts eXer-
cised in behalf of her good looks
this is perhaps the most necessary
to her success in dressing becom-
ingly. A fashion suitable only for
a small oval face is the mode of
putting the hair ont at the sides in
an exaggerated manner and doing
it up in small knot or bow shaped
loops on the top of the head, or
half way between the crown and
nape of the neck, as best suits your
style:
Puffs and loops are arranged in
various ways, and high wired
transparent bow of black net,
spangled with different colored
paillettes, is an effective decoration.
One, two, or three feathers, as you
like, standing up at the side, form
another fancy, and these should be
fastened together by jeweled pin.

Decorative Fish Nets.

Fish nets for drapery are so
popular that they are being manu-
featured regularly for decorative
purposes. Naturally their variety
has been increased, and they are
dyed in many art shades, The
natural soft gray that has the tint
of an implanted board fence is still
much esteemed. The weave of the
Chesapeake fish nets has been
copied and is shown in many har-
mOnIous cOlOrings.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Sleeves a la r1ode.

The chief characteristic of sleeves
that are a Ia mode is that they are
very slim the entire length of the
arm, with a small amount of bouff-
ancy at the elbow and an unusual
amount of befrillment at the hand,
making that appendage seem won
derfully small. There is a quaint
ness about this style of sleeve
which appeals to the feminine taste
and makes one wish to utilize this
style for all sorts of garments. A
sleeve of this sort is built in an ex-
ceedingly smart gown of damson
purple canvas cloth made up over
lowered taffeta of the same rich
shade. The skirt is the newest
thing In circles, so beautifully
stretched in the bases as to make
dropping an impoSsibility, a feature
of the usual circle skirt which
makes it so Improbable a style to
choose. 1t hangs in clinging effect
around the limbs at the front and
sides, and flares out at the back
with considerable tnllness, There
is no stifIening whatever used lii
the skirt, depending entirely upon
the heavy taffeta silk lining, which,
in the back breadths, is run with
feather bone, to set the outside out
in q flare. Fhe bodice il 2 la

1t is this trick of the infinitesimal

darkly arranging reason to shatter

about it, too, and really believes he

self cost the government what would

which he doesn't want appears to
him as unlawful and wrong.
