with the cost of dollar or two, ap-
pear the next holiday in the newest
style. These combs are worn at the
back of the head. They are of tortoise
shell, and, with the very, fashionable,
they are white. 1 sat next to lady
of high distinction at a bull fight at
Seville. She was the daughter-in-law
of the captain-general of the province,
and the most beautiful Spaniard l
ever met. Her comb was white, and
she wore a mantilla of blonde, with
out doubt extremely valuable, for it
was very dirty. The effect, however,
was charming. Her hair was glossy
black, her eyes like an antelope's, and
all her other features deliciously soft.
She was further adorned, which is
rare in Spain, with rosy cheek, for in
Spain our heroines are rather sallow.
But they counteract this slight defect
by never appearing until twilight,
which calls them from their bowers,
fresh, though languid, from the late
siesta.
The only fault of the Spanish beauty
is, that she too soon INDUCES ir the
magni6cence of embonpoint. .2here
are, however, many exceptions. At
seventeen a Spanish beauty is poetical.
Tall, 1.-the and clear, and graceful as a
iennet, who can withstand the sum-
mer lig htning of her soft and larguid
glancef AS she advances, if she does
not lose her shape, she resembles
Juno rather than Venus. Majestic
she ever is, and if her feet be less
twinkling than in her first bolero, look
on her hand, and you'll forgive them
all.

NOTIFYING REAsoN.-Deacon Mel

NOTIFYING REAsON.-Deacon Mel
cher was in his hundredth yeal, and
very proud of having lived so long.
Indeed, it was said in the family that
he was exceedingly prone to cheat on
the subject of age, not only from for
getfulness, but from an innocent desire
to make the most of good thing.
Some days, when his head was tired,
he was likely to declare himself 104
but that was not often. Usually,
though with some regretfulness, he
would pin himself down to his meagre
century.
There was one point on which he
was exceedingly sensitive, though he
never failed to meet the question in
open field, with all of a soldiers hero
ism. It. was fatally liable to be touched
upon when strangers came to see him,
and they came often.
"You've got all your faculties, too ~
some one of them would exclaim to
the patient centenarian. "That's
more tnan anybody could expect at
your age"
"I've got a good deal to be thankful
for" the deacon would reply, with
quiet dignity.
"Hesr most as we'll as ever?"
"Just as we'll"
"Eyes pretty good ?"
"I've got my second sight, I'm
thankful to say"
"AnG you've voted for every presi-
dent since your goth year!"
This was a stumbling block to an
innocent pride.
"Every time but one," the deacon
was wont to reply, humbly.
"When was that?"
"'Twas last year."
"You stayed away from the polls in
your hundredth year! Well, l must
say What made you do that? ?"
The deacon spoke patiently, and yet
with the suppressed irritation Of one
baited too far.
II had the whooping-cough, and
they wouldn't let me 60 out"

planted his seed in his mothers garden

it is almost entirely without a limb.
The bolls come out along the stalk and
thus make it a close grower. This

bolls and II squares on it. 1t was
very late planted and then did not
come up on account of drouth. '''''''''

of the vine it has a pumpkin that
measures feet II inches in circumfer-
ence. There are five others on the
vine besides this one, and all are very

IN JOINT SESSION.
Question OF Education Considered
by the Episcopal Bishops.


WASHINGTON, Oct 22.-The bish-
ops and deputies Of the Episcopal con-
vention united in joint session today to
consider a report from a joint COM
mittee on Christian education. The re-
port gave in detail the educational
work in progress, indirectly through
the public schools and directly through
the church schools and colleges. The
public schools were referred to as
worthy institutions, necessary to our
social system. The work in them could
be advanced, the report stated, by
having teachers grounded in religious
principles, thus making the public
schools an ally of the church. The need
of church colleges in the North was
pointed out, the present ones being
local, small and without resources. \
tentative plan was submitted for join
ing the Episcopal colleges in an acad-
envy conference, on the theory of the
great English universities, having de-
tached colleges. Bishop Whipple. of
Minnesota, spoke of the Importance of
Christian training.
Other addresses were made by Bish-
op Dudley, of Kentucky, on the Uni
versity Of the South; Bishop Peterlxin
of West Virginia, on academic halls;
Rev. s. Greer, of New York, in advo-
cacy of a national church university;
Rev. DR.. Nelson, of Hobart college, and
Rev. DR.. Jones, of Kenyon college, and
Bishop Lawrence, OF Massachusetts, on
the parish church in the college towns
In the course Of Rev. DR.. Greer's re-
marks he pointed out that many col
lege bred men Joined the criminal class,
and urged that something more than
mere education and mental culture
were requisite to keep men good.

RULES FOR FRESHMEN.
Rigid Code Laid Down by the Up
per CIassInen at Princeton.

PRINCETON, N. J., Oct. %. The
sophomore class of Princeton UNIVERSE
ty has made a most unique departure
from established precedent that has
caused joy to freshmen in Nassau.
Preferring to be saved through inno-
walton rather than perish by precedent,
they formulated and adopted a set of
rules amid great enthusiasm which will
govern freshmen according to sopho-
moric rules, while at the same time
the verdaht first year men will be for
ever freed from being hazed. but to
burst from their thralldom they must
accept these rules:
Can't wear Fedora hats.
Can't smoke pipes or cigars on the streets.
Can't be out after o'clock at night
Can't wear collars.
Can't wear god, duck, crash or bicycle
trousers.
Must bow to sophomores, including the doff
of the cap.
Must offer no resistance when being snow
balled.
Must agree to prevent hazing in their
sophomore year.
If the freshies accept these rules and
the faculty sanction the same and re-
turn the sophomOres who have thus
far been expelled, haZing will be de-
clared dead in Princeton. The sopho-
mOreS have certainly acted kindly and
magnanimOusly.

TIE WOMEN OF PORTO RICO.


No one ever walks in Porto Rico. The
mules the thing here. The women ride
great deal. The better classes use
the English side saddle, although a few
prefer the more picturesque and safer.
but less graceful, Spanish saddle, says
the New York Herald. In the county
districts the pilliOn is occasionally en-
rlOyed, while among the lower cIasses
many women ride astride without ex-
citing comment. When the natives are
both pretty and good riders they dis
play considerable cOquetry in the sad
die.
I noticed one rider near Juana Dfaz
who took my mind back to the old
days of chiValry. She was a lovely girl
OF about fifteen or sixteen, with a face
like madonna and figure like an
artists model. One little foot crept out
beneath her silk riding skirt, and to my
surprise it was devoid of hosiery. The
skin was like polished velvet, and was
Of a pinksh gold of an exquisite tint.
1t was shed with a slipper of satin, en-
broidered in color, and had an arched
instep which made the foot all the more
charming by its setting.
The time to see the women at their
best is on Sunday morning when they
ride from their homes to mass in the
nearest church or cathedral On one
Sunday morning, While riding leisuraly
into a small village on my way to this
town, [ met a crowd Of WOrshippers on
their Way to mass. Nearly all the
women were on muleback and sat or
lClled as if they were in an easy
chair in their own homes. A few, prob
ably weather. than the others or else
delicate in health, were accompanied By
little darby boys, who held over them
u raraSOl or an umbrella.
On Sunday each woman wears a huge
comfortable. I saw several that were
so unwieldy that they went over the
shoulders and formed a huge line,
larger indeed than a string of sleigh
bells. These are ornamental rosaries
and are not used for prayer. The pray
ing rosary is small and dainty as those
used by fashionable women in our own
Roman Catholic churches. Besides the
fan and the rosary every woman is
provided with a neat and often hand
somely bound prayer book and a huge
lighted cigar or cigarette.
This is indeed the land for women
who love the weed. A few smoke
cigarettes and pipes, but the majority
like partajas perfectos, Napoleons and
other rolls of the weed larger than
those usually seen in our own land
They smoke them at home and in the
streets, at the table or on the balcony,
lying in hammocks, or lolling on their
steeds, and only desist when within
the sacred walls Of the church. The
moment mass IS over and they emerge
into the sunlight the first thing the
women do is to light fresh cigar and
then climb into the saddle.
They make a beautiful picture upon
the roads. Imagine an intensely blue
sky above, with below rich green veg
citation and startling dashes of scarlet,
crimson, Vermilion, orange and white
from the flowers which seem to bloom
the year through, setting off the bright
hues Of the costumes. 1t combines the
picturesque side of New Orleans life, of
Florida scenery, of the Maine lake
country, and of the New Hampshire
hills

ONE IN EVERY FOUR.
One Person in Every Four Suffers
From Piles.

About one person in every four suf-
fers from some form of rectal disease.
The most common and annoying is itch
ing piles, indicated by warmth, slight
moisture and intense, uncomfortable
itching in the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or Salve which some
times gives temporary relief, but moth
ing like a permanent cure can be ex-
pected from such superficial treatment
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered is the Pyramid
Pile Cure not only for itching piles,
but for every other form of piles, blind,
bleeding or prOtruding. The first APP
plication gives instant relief and the
continued use for 9 short time causes
a. permanent removal of the tumOrs or
the small parasites which cause the
intense itching and discomfort of itch
ing piles
Many physicians for a long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief af-
forded by the Pyramid Pile Cure was
because it contained cocaine, opium or
similar drugs. but such is not the case.
A recent careful analysis of the remedy
showed 1t to be absolutely free from
cocaine, opium or in fact any poison
GUS. INJURIOUS drugs whatever. Sold by
druggists at so cents per package.

RAIN A CALAMITY.
Damage to the Extent of Five Mill
ions In North Dakota,

Damage to the Extent of Five Mill
ions In North Dakota.
GRAND FORKS, N. D., Oct. 22.-The
continued wet weather of the past two
weeks is a calamity Of great magnitude
to the farmers of the northern part of
North Dakota. Conservative estimates
place the damage already done at
$5.000,000, with a possibility that IN
may reach double this amount.
The wheat yield Of the state is 3d.
100000 bushels, 40 per cent of this in
the northeast corner Of the state. In
the south end of the state thrashing Is
practically ended, and the rain and
snowfall Is considered a blessing to the
farmers.
In the vicinity of Grand Forks two
thirds of the crop Is thrashed, but
farther north and west only from one
third to one-f1fth of the wheat is
thraShed, and 1t Is now g. physical i'm
possibility to complete the thrashing,
even under the most favorable condi-
lions. t
Much of the snow which has fallen
remains on the ground and on the
wheat in shock in the northern part of
the state. The grain is wet and sprout-
ing. The season is late, and so much
wet weather makes 1t impossible to
thrash. The imported thrashing hands
are leaving the state by hundreds daily.
A telegram from Cando Rollette
county, says it now looks as if no more
shock thrashing would be done in this
section this fall. If this proves true, it
will be a hard blow to this section of
the state, as most all of the thrashing
done so far is by large farmers.
The small farmers will lose all their
crop and be left In debt and without
means to aid themselves until another
crop. The outlook Is dubious in the
extreme.
