Two EuxIl.h womea.

"a rag and a bone and hank OF

yard Eipiing for the phrase, for It ex-
actIy describes what sat in front of Us
at a theater the other evening. A sailow
girl with a bony frame, injudiciously
revealed by low bodice edged round
with wisps of crumpled tulle, had her
hair combed outward from her head IN
a fashion Il - one might expect to see
in a caricature but not willfully adopt
ed to her detriment by any young wom-
an. AT the back it was tied up after the
manner Of horses tails when they are
doubled back and secured with straw.
That was the shape OF the appendage,
which stuck straight out. There was no
straw. Only the hair had all been care
fully roughened to match that on the
rest Of the head. She was no vampire,
though, only an ordinary artistic
young woman whose ideas Of self deco
ration are based on entirely wrong prin-
ciples
Next to her and contrasting with her
most remarkably was lovely woman,
with pretty head poised daintily upon
beautiful throat. Her nutbrown hair,
with chestnut lights in it, was beauti-
fully though simply dressed, with no
exaggeration of outline This gave her
look Of thoroughbred distinction Why

heads look large? It is great mistake.

When Going to Bed.

No matter how busy one may be, it
is quite possible TO always find time to
attend to ones toilet at night. One
should not simply drop ones clothes
and tumble into bed, else neither one
self nor the clothes will look attractive
in the morning. Have plenty Of hot
water and dash of eau dc cologne and
give your face thorough laving. The
result will be as refreshing as an hours
sleep. Brush the hair for 20 minutes.
1t will be glossier and thicker for the
trouble. and your nerves will be soothed
by the process. Then after tho exercise
robe yourself in warm dressing gown
and drink glass of hot milk, weak
cocoa, or even hot water, eating a bis
cult or Lit of toast if You like. When
the small supper is finished, you will
be ready to go to sleep without any in
somnia cure, and in the morning you
will waken refreshed and thoroughly IN
good humor with yourself and the
world.-New York Ledger.

Shopping In Cuba.

Let us pray that Cuba will never be-

the pleasant system Of shopping in
vogue there will degenerate into the
wild struggle for life and limb so char
acteristic of New York shops The ways
of the heathen Chinee are not more be-

Cuba than the courtesy Of the shop
keepers. Their perpetual politeness is
as startling as it is sweet to the woman

the emotions of an AmecicaD woman
who went into a Havana shop to buy
something which tho merchant did not

The -BeIovsd Eye Fad.

The latest novelty in love tokens is
the "beloved eye" OF course this is
only an imitation Of the human eye,
but the miniature portraits are painted
so exquisitely on ivory that the eye Of
the beloved one seems to be shown in
reality.
The painting of the eye is most del
icate aud laborious task. Oulr a master
hand can produce the exact color and
expression. This makes the fad very
costly ole, therefore its popularity is
confined to the wealthy set.

The reason why some peoples sewing
and mending does not last is that they
do not fasten the ends Of the thread
properly or sufficiently. They sew the
last stitch over perhaps once and cut
the thread OF short, whereas the stitch
should have two taken over il, then one
across, then the needle run between the
thicknesses of cloth if there be any, and,
if not. a stitch should be taken back, so
that when cut the end Of the thread
viii be at some distance. In this case
there will be much less danger of the
thread working out and the sewing
ripping. Then some persons take too
narrow seams-a quarter Of an inch is
none too wide-or are not careful to have
the edges Of the material even. These
may seem trifles, but they make the
difference between good work and poor.

We arc proud that the school houses are

buildings there, but the teacher is there
six. eight, ten months of the year, and
that Notwithstanding the students are
farmers sons and daughters that the
average attendance is nearly andinmany
cases quite equal to that of city schools.
We know that the credit of this mag
nificent showing belongs largely to the
people themselves, for only among a
progressive. intelligent people could
such things be possible. but all will
agree that one man. by virtue Of his Of.

elldI oHlClateO AT the Dlrtn OF these parties
in our county were not to be seen or
were turned in sorrow that fond hopes
and earnest efforts towards general good
had so sadly dwarfed.
1t is not the principles of the parties
that are wrong. 1t is that they have
strayed from their principles and are false
to party traditions. The key note of
bossism was sounded when, at the con-
ventiom, the motion to allow each pre-
cinct to name a member of the county
central committee was voted down and
in lieu thereof the "chair' empowered
to appoint committee of nine. The
people were not to be trusted.
Was it the guiding hand of honest
politics that attempted to prevent the
holding of a democratic legislative con-
ventiou in the First District? An act
that was only prevented by prompt and
independent action on the part of this
paper.
Was it a regard for the peoples in
terest that caused the calling of conven-
tions on so short notice that whole town.
ships in the interior were not aware that
a convention was to be held until after
convention day?
Was it the intention of the founders of
either party or the present wish of the
rank and file that affairs should be run
for selfish ends as is the case, to a large
extent, at the present time?
To this you answer no, and ask:
''What is the remedy?' Weed out the
tares. Do not stay at home and let them
grow. 1t is the duty of every man who
loves his country and his home to use
his right of franchise and to use it with
conscientious purpose and with fore
thought. 1t is the duty Of every demo-
crat and independent to be at the polls
in November and cast his vote for the
state and legis: :ative ticket and then as
he runs his pencil down the line, place
his cross only at the right hand of a name
that stands for honesty, integrity and
faithful performance of duty. When you
come to one who in public places has
been shown to be dishonest, weed out
the tare. When you come to one who
has violated hrs pledges, weed out the
tare. When you come to one who has
been untrue to his fellow candidates it is
safe to judge that he will be faithless to
his trust, weed out the tare. When you
come to one who has been "coy maiden"
with the opposition, it is safe to label it
tare and weed it cut.
Our highest idea is an honest and
capable man of our own party, but it is
much better to vote for an honest nomi-
nee of the opposition than dishonest
member of our own party.
