in positions where they can be over
powered and either sunk or captured.
Naval officers will be surprised if
Spain places any portion of her navy
where it will come in contact with the
DO werful feet that we will send to in
vest Cuba. Sixty days is the outside
guess of our naval officers as to the
length of the war.
Gen. Blanco did not improve the re-
lations between Congress and Spain
when he made a discourteous monkey
of himself by refusing to see Consul
Lee when he called to say an official
go cd bye just previous to his depart
ure from Havana. 1t Is likely also
that Gen. Lee may have some stories
to tell when he reaches Washington
that will likewise add to the existing
enmity towards the Spaniards.
An informal agreement has been
reached by the House Committee on
Ways and Means, which has been con-
sidering the matter for several weeks,
that the war revenue bill to be re-
ported to the House as soon as hostil-
tiles begin shall include provision
incre asing the internal revenue tax
on beer from 81 to So a barrel, not
withstanding the arguments of the
representatives of the brewers last
week. 1t is estimated that this in
crease in the beer tax will add $685.
100000 a year to the governments
revenues. Tobacco, in it's various
manufactured forms, is relied upon to
produce as much more; likewise tax
on several kinds of commercial paper.
A bill has also been prepared by Mr..
Dingley providing for the issue of
bonds to the amount of 800, 900,
as temporary loan, and from three
to five times that amount, as may be
needed, as a permanent loan. These
bonds will be payable in coin, just as
all our outstanding bonds are, and are
to bear per cent. interest. Although
offers Of more than $500,000,000 have
been made to the government by large
financial institutions, it is probable
that any bonds issued will be offered
to the public and allotted to those
who first apply for them at their face
value.
Although couched in the most mod
crate language, President McKinley's
reply to the joint note of the six
greatest European nations, on our re-
lations with Spain, will take it's place
in history alongside the Monroe doc
trine. There was no word Of buster,
but every European power understood
its meaning perfectly-that the q. S.
had determined that Spanish rule in
Cuba should cease forever, and that
no European interference with it's
policy would be tolerated. The rep
resentatives of at least two European
powers-France and Austria-and
possibly those of a d-Italy-had
hopes of arranging some sort of Eu-
ropean joint Intervention, but they
abandoned them after hearing Mr..
McKinley's reply to the joint note
which was intended to be a friendly
feeler.

The TaTeta Coat.

Decidedly the most novel feature
Of fashionable dress just at present
is the black satin or silk coat to
wear with any kind of skirt. 1t may
bea plain sailor made affair, with
plain or fancy revers, or a dressy
little garment covered with corded
tucks set i'm at intervals and some
times cut bolero fashion in the back
with round or square tabs in the
front. Other corded coats are cut in
the regulation manner, with a short
basque rounding from the front or
IN battlement squares, with revers
of corded satin.
The taffeta silk coat with a loose
front aud fitted back held III place
by belt which passes through the
seam under the arm, is another va
ration of this new fashion which
will doubtless blossom out later on
among the ultra fashionable women
The taffeta coat is unlined, which
makes it less expensive and more
suitable, perhaps, than the satin tC
wear with pique and linen skirts
The checked wool gowns, supple.
mented with a satin coat, usually
have a bodice to match the skirt.

The Gospal of Happiness.

A woman who has many sorrows
and heavy burdens to bear, but who
was noted for her cheerful spirit,
once said in explanation:
you know | have had no money.
I had nothing to give but myself
and so ! made the resolution that |
would never sadden any one else
with my troubles. I have laughed
and told Jokes when ! could have
wept. l have always smiled in the
face of every misfortune. 1 have
tried never to let any one go from my
presence without happy word or a
bright thought to carry with them.
And happiness makes happiness. |
myself am happier than [ would
have been had | sat down and be-
moaned my fate"
This gospel happiness is one which
every one should lay to heart. Set
ont with the inviucible determine
ton that you will bear burdens and
not impose them. Whether the sun
shines or the rain falls. show glad
face to your neighbor. If you must
Iall in life's battle, you can at least
fall with smile on your face

A Tale of n Ring,

A -four merchant at Edgar, ILL.,,
let the story get out that while he
was STOPPING over his -four bin a
$3.50 diamond ring had slipped off
his finger into the flour. He APP
peared to be greatly exercised over
the loss, got a notice in the local
paper, but finally announced with a
sigh that he would have to give it
up; that the ring was in the flour
somewhere; that he supposed it
would turn up in sack of -four, but
he had no idea which one. Well,
you ought to have seen the boom
that guileless man had in the flour
trade. For the next week he had to
hire extra help to fill sacks out of
that bin. One man who never
bought a sack of -four from him be.

and winked the other eye.-Ex.

About my path ! see;
Yet some things that / wish for most
Are not for me.
Shall I, then, sigh away my days
In fretful discomfort?
Nay, but resigned, in happy praise
Shall they be spent.

Can sow good seeds.

KEEP PUSHING.

Keep pushing; tits wiser
Than sitting aside
And dreaming and signing,
And waiting the tide.
In life's earnest battle,
They only prevail
Who daily march onward,
And never say fail.
With eyes ever open
And tongue that's not dumb,
And heart that to sorrow
Will never succumb;
You'll battle and conquer,
Though thousands assail,
How strong and how mighty
Who never say fail?
Keep pushing and pushing,
And elbow your way,
Uuheeding the envy
That seeks to betray.
All obstacles vanish,
All enemies quail,
Before the strong-hearted
Who never say fail
IN life's rosy morning,
In manhoOd's firm pride,
Let this be your motto,
Your footsteps to guide
In storm or in sunshine,
Whatever assail,
Wen onward and conquer,
And never say fail.

becoming. Certainly they will re-
lieve the dead black amazingly, and
are almost always becoming, for few
compilations can stand the test of
dead black, particularly when it is
black wool collar directly against
the skin. These cuffs and cOllras
are easily Numbered, so that a little
care must needs be eXecised in send
ing them to be "done up"
Too deep black border on hand
kerchiefs, cards and writing paper
is an affectation. Some women use
visiting cards with so large border
that scarcely any room is left for the
name, while their note paper looks
as though the ink bottle had been
spilled over it. There is q fitness
in small, black border, but any
exaggeratiOn is in bad taste.
For the first six months of deep
mourning Jewels are inappropriate,
and, indeed, until after the first year
colored stones look sadly out of
place. When the mourning is light
ened, then diamonds and pearls can
be worn. but there should be no
OVERRIDING of jewelry even then.

THE WEARING OF CREPE.
Mourning That is Appropriate and in
Good Taste.

Good IaStes
Grape wells are worn with bonnets,
not with hats, but in the country
bonnets and wells can be laid aside.
Straw hats, trimmed with Grape and
worn with face wells, edged with IA
band of Grape, is considered better
style than a bonnet, excepting for
church wear. Flowers ana feathers
nre not suitable with Grape or Grape
trimmed hats, and are homogeneous
enough to spoil the prettiest toilet.
For evening wear, all black gowns
must be worn so long as one is in
mourning. All Grape at first, then
lusterless black silk, trimmed heav-
ily with Grape. For home wear a
soft, dull black wool goods is best
and it can be cut with low waist.
Chiffon is used in mourning, and
makes charming waists. 1t can be
trimmed with dull jet passemen-
lerie, and is considered suitable to
wear with any dull black material
in the skirt.
Wearing sheer white linen cuffs
and collars was at one time suppOs-
ed,like a white Tuche in a Grape bon
net, to denote a widows mourning.
Now these cuffs and collars are worn
by any and everyone who finds them

The Now Basque.

The new busques are graceful, pro
vided one has tall slender figure.
There are any number of pretty fan
cies in betting them, the now IA
vorite one seeming to be that of wide
ribbon folded down into pleats
about the waist and made into
an artistic bow or rosette with long
ends at the side | am inclined to
think that as the fall season advan-
ces the various basque styles will
gain in favoc, for in silk and wooden
stuffs very pretty results can be OBJ
tanned by skirting the bodices. The
full bodices of soft materials, OF
course, have full skirts. In the can
vas cloths and other fabrics that
compose whole suits, the basque i;
smooth over the hips, often com.
posed of rounded silk-lined tabs.

The Model Sickrnom.

In model sickrOom described by
medical man there are two narrow
beds of equal height on easy rolling
casters, having hair mattresses, low
headboards and absolutely free from
all denominations in the way of can
opieS. The patient may thus have a
fresh bed for the night and another
for the day. In the morning the
freshly made bed, covered with one
sheet, can be trundled up to the bed
which has been occupied during the
night, and the patient can be easily
slid on the same level on to a fresh
bed. The mattress and bedding of
the bed vacated can be rolled up,
quietly taken into an adjourning
room, where, with open windows,
they can be shaken, thoroughly VEN
Iilated during the day and made
ready for the night.
