The Bustle n Reality.

We are to have the hustle again.
There is no doubt about it. All you
have to do to be sure is to go to the
dressmaker who best knows the styles
and she will tell You that the newest
costumes all have that idea in view.
The hustle in its present form is
bound to be popular, for it is far from
being the monstrosity of few years
ago. Neat and graceful, it is just large
enough to round up the hips and give
stylish set to the skirt and prevent
its sagging.
The modern idea is to use the bus
tie in the only sensible way-that is,
to suit the individual Bustles are
being made in great variety, both long
and short, and some much fuller than
others. The style most in vogue is
moderately long, and has hip extern
sions which will suit the woman who
is tall and not too full of outlines. A
pad of some sort is essential in order
to be fashionable.-New York Herald.

For, said he, contractors pay mus

five years of age. He lives on the
farm on which he was born, and has
never been farther than thirty miles
from his own hearthstone. He never
rode on railroad train, never saw
steamboat, theatrical performance
nor a game of baseball.
Mr.. Higgins has been a Justice of
the Peace for Brooklyn Township
without break in the consecutive
links of time since 1861. No decision
handed down from his bench has ever
been reversed by higher court. He
has married more than 500 couples,
and points with pride to the fact that
none of them ever appealed to q
divorce court for severance of the
matrimonial bond. Squire Higgins is
bachelor, and says that he cannot
remember that he ever paid court to
any young woman. He also says that
he is one of the few "Andrew Jackson
Democrats" in the country y.-Blan-

There are few of the annoyances OF

Acid food, in the view of DR.. W
7. English, of Pittsburg, is our
latest excess, Che acidulous habits OF
the body marking a distinct stage in
civilization. The consumption OF
acid fruits, pickles and acid drinks is
increasing at an astonishing rate, the
production of tomatoes having multi.
piled ten times since 1890, while the
quantity of acid drinks taken has
doubled in the same period, every
year. The tendency of the acid diet
is held to be to destroy the action OF
the bile and pancreatic juice by neu-
tralizing their normal alkilinity and to
lessen resistance to infection by re-
turning the alkalinity Of the blood
and other bodily fluids. The effects
may be far-reaching, deranging es-
pecially the nervous system and the
heart, and even temporarily causing
Intellectual confusion and incoherency

County, small grove has been dis
covered.

Do you sleep upon feather bed,
If you do, you are guilty of a crime
against the whole tribe of sanitary
teachers; you are down on the BLACK
books of the hygienists.
According to those wise persons, nc
sensible being of this enlightened age
ever sleeps upon anything but haii
mattresses, placed over the springs.
So, if you have cherished feather bed
make cushions of it.
Feather beds have been proved to be
dangerous to health. They have fire.
quently been the means of communi,
eating contagious disease. The feathers
seem particularly adapted to holding
the impurities cast off by the bod,
through the pores.
Whatever kind of mattress you
have give it frequent airings. Once
in month, at least, have it taken tc
the yard or to the roof and there let il
be blown through by the wind and
beaten upon by the sun until it is
thoroughly freshened.
Every day let the mattress be aired
from an open window. Turn the
mattress daily in order that it may not
become lumpy and ridgy from being
in one position all the time.
In making bed draw the sheets SO
tightly that wrinkles are an impossi.
bility. One can sleep at least twice
as well on smooth linen as ON rumpled
Let the blankets be warm and light
in weight. They should be all wool,
ms that provides the greatest heat with
the least burden.
The bedding should be aired for an
hour every day.-New York Journal.

The Girl in n New Role.

From time immemorial women have,
to greater OF less extent, been en-
ployed in the fields, but never up to
this time, we believe, has any direct
effort been made to educate them in
the higher lines of agriculture.
1t is very much to the credit of
Minnesota that she has established
schools with this sole purpose III view.
One of these has just been opened, in
which sixty pupils can be accommo-
dated, and in which they will enjoy
the highest privileges and academic
honors.
Women, as far as they have been
permitted, have developed splendid
capacity to prepare and survey land
and carry on fruit and other staple
culture and develop the soil in every
line suggested by science. They
make the best of gardeners, are good
architects and are in many instances
in the West very extensive and sue
cessful stock raisers.
Woman's proverbial love Of nature
eminently fits her for outdoor country
employment, and especially does it
bring within her purview such expert
ments as are necessary for the propa-
CATION and development of plant life.
Surely the establishment of the Wo-
mans Agricultural College is move
N the right direction. st. Louis Star.

1t is now said that women's hair is
becoming more beautiful in color every
year, and is also growing thicker and
longer. This is said to be due to the
small light bonnets that women wear
Certain it is that air and sunshine i'm
prove the color and texture of the hair.
Sun bleaches the hair, and Venetian
beauties always dried their ruddy locks
in the sun, thereby getting that tint
so much admired called Venetian red.
OF course, sunshine will not bleach
dark har, but it gives a deeper color
to all kinds Of tresses and will brighten
ull-brown hair.

MY SWEETHEART.

The tears of years have made snow white
Your golden hair of long ago;
Your footsteps, once so quick and light.
Like mourntul songs are soft and slow:
Your thin pale hands are worn and weak
And tremble as they rest in mine:
Your eyes are dim, but when you speak
They beam with love / deem divine;
In you my dear, l most am blest.
For you're my sweetheart first and best
My dear old mother friend so true
Tongue cannot tell my love for you.
My hearts sublmest song is this:
love you, mother dear;
And Willie your sweet old face kiss
IL gently draw you near
So every word you'll hear:
queen in truth you are to me,
And let my richest tribute be
The thought most revere
love you, mother dear.
Some day-thc time may not be long
Your eyes will close in endless sleep,
Your spirit greet the angel throng
That Ger you now their vigils keep,
Then twill be late, you will not hear
The words my childhood lisped for you,
Those words TO mothers hearts most dear,
What bliss to feel you always knew.
And while you linger here below,
Your heart may joy, your cheeks may glow,
When softly o'er and DER again
l whisper in II sweet refrain:
Ny hearts sublimest song is this:
love you, mother dear.
And while your sweet old face | kiss.
I'll gently draw you near
SO every word you'll hear;
queen in buth you are to me,
And let my richest tribute ba
The thought | most revere

DIR. Bernard Moses, Professor of
History in the University Of California,
urged a large audience of students to
show their patriotism by combating
The spread of luxury and the rise of a
ieudal aristocracy of wealth. The
lecture was the last of a series of four
On Democracy and Social Growth in
The United States" Professor Moses
said that ga republic may be preserved
and yet be further away from democ-
,acy than any kingdom. As nation
we stand committed to representa-
i've republic, based on democracy.
There is no other alternative but an
oligarchy or military despotism. We
hold that the establishment of this
Government represented a step for
ward. 1t represents certain principles
which we believe will abide, no mat
ter how the outward form may change.
We should contend against retrogres-
sion or the taking up of some outworn
Institution. The feudalism of land
mas passed away; bat in the past fifty
years there has arisen in America q
new feudalism, based on wealth, no
less far-reaching in social influence.
There have been recent accumulations
of enormous fortunes. The modern
feudal lord holds people in subsection
by the power of extraordinary aggre-
cations of wealth. The modern feudal
lords have obtained possession of all
the more important means of produc.
ton. To the extent to which Americs
is drifting toward the outworn form Of
feuds Organization she is going con-
trary to her destiny. The old feudal.
ism was supplanted by the centraliza.
tion of power in the hands of q
monarch. The faudalism of wealth
may be overcome by centralizing the
power in the hands of the people.
Another retrogression is the departure
from simple style of living ana the
prodigious attempts to draw class dis.
tinctions. To-day we are conspicuous
among the nations for our lack OF
simplicity of living and our desire for
social position. Wealth is made the
measure. There is need of a revival
in political affairs. Politically we have
fallen on barren times. 1t is an af.
fectation of the cultured classes to
assume n disregard for patriotism.
There is need for an awakening oi
genuine patriotism. Redemption
comes not by form, but by spirit.
There as imperative need of reviving
force to awaken the nation to look
once more on the ideals Of the found.
