 Some of the so called minor trials of life affect happiness more seriously than do greater ones. Perhaps one of the most annoying of small misfortunes-.misfor- tunes which do not pereeptibly influence health, character or financial condition is the possession of red nose. Even a man finds this unpleasant, and to a wom- an 1t Is well nigh intolerable Redness of tho nose is often the result of imperfect circulation, faulty digestion or tight cloth ing, and when this Is the case simple and abundant food absence of stimulants, plensy of exercise and a costume which docs not compress the body will suffice to correct it in n short time Vegetables and salads should enter largely into the bill of fare, and food should be eaten slowly

Here IS a Sioux City Ia.l Sunday school story:
 They were studying in the cateohisn about tho wonderful greatness and pows or of God. "Can God do everythingY asked the teacher. It was generally ads mitted that he could Then the teacher gather mischievously propounded a stio- kler perhaps as test of faith. "Could God make two and two equal five?'' he asked. The query rather startled the little girls ill the class, and their faces took on worried, puzzled expression. They had never thought of such a thing as that, and it looked as if their faith was wavsfing. The teacher waited with a rather amused smile on his face. Then up shot a little hand. Well, " asked the teacher, what do you think abous itfn "Yes, sir, he can, was the prompt and certain response. Now 1t was the teachers turn to look surprised. Well, how can God make two and two equal Avs2' By adding one, was tho tri- umphant answer, and the misehievoua teacher coulda dispute it, Sioux City Journal

A correspondent of the Little Rock Gazette, writing from Waco, in discussing the qustion of how to increase the cotton receipts of that city, submits the following novel plan recently adopted by the mer- chants of Dallas, Texas, at the sug- gestion of their commercial club:
 "The merchants of Dallas, through their commercial club, have adopted novel method of increasing their wagon cotton receipts. On Febru- ary 1, 1899, $500 in cash prizes will be gwen the farmers and hand some gold watch will be voted to the most popular daughter of a farmer. The voting will be done.by the cotton growers. The cash prizes are to be awarded by lot, the farmer getting a number for each bale he brings to Dallas The num- bers are to be drawn by 3 young lady to be selected by the farmers. The first sixty numbers drawn will get $5 each, the next two numbers $25 each, the next one $50 and the next one $100. In addition to this the Commercial Club pays sterage weighing and insurance on cotton sold there. It would seem that tae Little Rock wagon receipts could be augmented by some enterprise Of this character. It is the wagon cotton that in ereases the trade Of the retail CT and it is worth looking after.

SUMMER GOWNS.
Pretty Styles and Trimmings For Warm
 Weather Erabricg,


 How shall summer gowns be made-the fine nainsooks, organizes and mousselines de soie which arc to be worn In such pro- fusionf Princess gowns arc in high favor, but that style will not do for thin goods, so fashion has decreed that the two piece gown is equally desirable, and accordingly muslins and kindred fabrics will be made in that way. Accordion l,laited skirts and skirts gathered all around the waist are accompanied by full bodices, either plaiteo or gathered, and these bodices are trim med with tucks, bands of insertion or ruffies arranged horizontally or forming 3 point in the middle. Lengthwise deeora- tion is less frequently seen The sleeves are puffed or wrinkled, with slight full ness at the top, sometimes taking the form of drapery, and caps or epaulets of various forms are also used. Collars are high, but comparatively plain, excessive ruches, choux and bows having beel abandoned for moderate rutlle of lace Sr chiffon.
 One of the accessories of summer gowns IS the bolt with long sash ends hanging
