is the weapon with which she conquers her
world. Almost every woman believes that
she possesses at least some one attractive
feature and strives to make the most of that
But mere regularity of feature is not the
most attractive form of beauty.
Mankind is more influenced by the bright
glowing vitality of perfect health. A classic
attractive and captivating, if she is pale,
thin, weak and nervous, or has pimply
complexion or unwholesome breath.
These complaints are due to imperfect
nutrition. The digestive and blood-making
organs fail to extract the needed nourish-
ment from the food, and the liver is too slug
gish to cleanse the blood of bilious impuri-
ties. The entire constitution becomes weak
and poisoned.
The only perfect antidote for this state of
things is DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t gives power to the digestive and
nutritive organs to make an abundance of
pure, rich, highly vitalized blood, which
permeates the whole system with the sweet
ness of purity; the beauty of wonanly vigor
and animation
1t creates solid, healthy flesh and natural
color; clears the complexion; dispels wrink-
les; rounds out the form and imbues the
whole physique with the irresistible natural
magnetism of perfect health.
Miss Julia Ellis, of Faith, Mclean Co., KY,
writes: AFTER suffering for long while with q

Linon is more in vogue than ever, mol
only for complete costumes over green,

posing the skirt only, the bodice being OF
embroidered tulle or embroidery over a col
ored lining which harmonizes with the
color in the skirt. Again, the bodice will
consist of a bolero of different goods or en-
broidery, and the full chemisette over
which it opens will be of linon like the
skirt. Corsages of gauze or lnousseline de
sole matching the linon skirt are also con-
sidered very pleasing.
Trimmings arranged at the side, at the
closing of the bodice, are composed OF
ruches, plated ruffles. galIoons, small
squares or points or lace, and are very gen
orally employed. This style is better, how
ever, for very slender figures and for young
girls. For full form simple fashions are
better. and wide. short jabot should be
adopted, not falling below the bosom.

Un1rogr.pny or the res.o.->

The chirography of the presidents
from Washington down to Mckinley is
as different as the chirography of the
same number of any other men chosen
at random from the various walks of
life. Students of character contend that
there are many points of similarity in
the mental make up and equipment of
our presidents, but il there are they
are certainly not shown in the hand
writing of these men. OF the entire lot
suppose old Zachary Taylor wrote the
worst hand. I have seen numerous let
tiers of his which am confident no hu-
man being could read. 1t was cramped
and awkward, like that of boy just
learning to write jefferson wrote a
plain, flowing hand, and Monroe's
writing was decidedly feminine, though
not nearly SO much SO as Grover Cleve-
lands, whose chirography is small and
delicate. Jackson's scrawl bespoke
nervousness and timidity of which no
body dared to accuse him while he was
on the earth, and Lincoln's smooth
polish which his crude, simple mind
did not bespeak. OF all our chief mag
istrates Mckinley writes the best hand,
and his chirography shows a painstak-

Ch1cago's Grand boulevard.

Chicago, which never lacks some
thing to brag of, will presently have
considerable basis for self congratula-
ton in the magnificent boulevard along
the shore of Lake Michigan which is to
connect it with milwaukee,. This beau
tiful road will be so miles long and
promises to be the most notable stretch
of roadway along a water front in the
country. Eighty miles is over long for
a drive, but it is just comfortable
morning stretch for a contemporary BIZ
cyclist. New York's Riverside drive
will seem microscopic compared with
this Chicagoroad, though it will be long
enough for most practical purposes, and
almost unmatched in beauty. 8

The appropriation is intended
also to be partly expended in

There is an appropriation of

Congress should make a search

reforms as are necessary. 1t
is very certain that the postal
system at this late day should

though Senator Villas thinks
that. with proper reforms, it

controversy over the appoint

to be widening out. This after

three of the gentlemen named
By Governor CuIberson. The
other two are Fort Smith and
August Hector, to whom there
is no opposition.
Captain Mcdonald, Captain
Weekes and other gentlemen
named are understood to favor
the selection Of Worthy Boyd,
Sam Burch and George Donovan
in the place Of the three above
named, whom the governor has
appointed. They oppose Cone
on the ground that he has been
a republican and does not af
filiate with the regular dem
ocracy. They oppose Ed Boyd
on the ground that he is. a pop
ulist and was nominated on
that ticket In the late campaign
for Office of county clerk. The
objection to Howth is not stat
ed other than that other appli
cants are more desirable to the
directors.
Senator Linn and Representa-
tive Gilbough are said to back
up the protests of the Mcdonald
faction and waited on the gov
ernor with them. Representa-
tive Harris is said TO be on the
other side, and was with Mr..
Webber and Mr.. LosejOy when
they called on the governor
Both factions met in the execn-
tive presence and it is said that
the scene was interesting.
1t is not necessary to state
that the executive felt that he
was in an embarrassing pc
sition, as he was between two
fires.
Captain Mcdonald says there
are al least 2OO0 of the best
citizens of Galveston protesting
against be appointment OF
Cone, Howth ami Boyd, for
reasons given.
