women are still very fond of braid.
Another point that works against the
would-be successors to braid trim
mings is that as the latter have been
in favor for a long time. when change
finally comes, it will probably be in ia
vor of something entirely different
from the replaced trimming rather
than Of anything measurably like it.
A velvet frock coat that hung to well
below it's wearer's knees was a fine af-
fair of itself, but was made especially
worth description because of the
scheme it carried for increasing her
apparent height. 1t spread open below
the belt, showing the skirt in a broad
panel. A clever effect was brought
about by inserting panel in the bod
ice portion of the coat to exactly match
the skirt and thus appear to prolong
the view of the under dress from belt
to throat. If really done, this would,
of course, make the garment much
less practicable winter covering than 1t
was. The plan added greatly to the
effect of length, the apparently pro-
longed panel to the throat in front and
the long folds to the coat in back CIV
ing grace and slenderness.
Here's a game" for all of us! Ru-
NOR has it that the owners of many
fine diamonds, displeased by lavish
displays of them, are going to give the
fine stones a rest and not wear them,
What very easy way 1t Is Of proving
that you have diamonds, method
adopted, to tell the truth, by many of
us for a long time without our realiz-
ing the happy significance of our self
denial. Pearls are to rage, however, to
comfort us for having to put our dia-
monds in the cellar. The statement is
made that a double string Of pearls
worn close about the collar will be an
addition to high neck dresses, even of
informal type, the strands being push
ed well down to the foot of the stock.

plants, when transported to Georgia,
Alabama, or Mississippi, produce only
the class or kind of cotton raised in
those states. 1t Is entirely question
of soil and climate. the correspondent
says. The finely favored tobacco Of
Cuba degenerates when raised in this
country. California trees and fruit
will not grow in the Southern States,
and Sea Island cotton planted on the
mainland disappolnts the planter Ma
ture is not likely to reverse her laws,
and the correspondent advises the

of the limbless" at $500.

Ever since Kansas began to "cut up"
there has been wonder as to what has
allied her. Perhaps Bishop Vincent of
the Methodist church has thrown some
light on the matter in his address be-
fore the meeting of the State Temper
ance Union at Topeka. He appealed
TO his hearers to agitate against. the
chewing gum habit, and persevere I'M
til it is driven out of Kansas. He as
serted that the chewing gum vice had
made millionaires out of few men in
"a few years. and had encouraged dan
gerous habits among the people. He
argued that the foundation Of temper
|ance reform should be laid at the chew
ing-gum age of childhood, as the habit
was a sort of self-indulgence that
should be restrained. If the child's will
was educated to resist this habit it
could be easier trained to resist other
habits The Bishop was particular in

and urged that she should be given to
understand that the indulgence of the
habit was to her discredit.
If the reform thus recommended
prospers in Kansas and If it makes the
State over it must be applied through
out the country. Perhaps the chewing
gum habit is at the bottom Of the queer
silver craze and the other evils which

braided and when it has developed that
black velvet ribbon is not to be accept

like that shown in this picture Is of es-

on the hem Of the skirt, at the edges of

many times. But not even one of the
intricately fanciful braids suited this

she has done In sending us descendants

planning to make US so that our own

many who are aching to fly as high as

MoRE ENCOURAGEMENT.

Yesterday the encouraging news
came that the adult males of this coun-

whiskey came down to four gallons in
1887. Some wrong-minded people might

their allowance of whiskey made up for

that our yale man" has been writing
about "Siendiewicz," and it wants to
know who or what is "Siendiewicz."
We will see the Register consumed
with youthful curiosity before we will
tell. There Is one thing, however, that
we are not going to be so slow about,
and that is an effort to discover wheth-
er our "Yale man. works for the Reg

tired with his labors there and unable
to do as well for us as he does for the

than we have ever been favored with.

of work for the Register and depriving
us of it, as we suspect he is, we want

r. A. Baker, chairman of the silver
Democratic committee of Michigan, is
responsible for suit which will test
the validity of the Bland Allison act of
1875 Stephen Baldwin rendered Baker
1854 silver dollars in payment of a
mortgage Of that amount. Baker re-
fused to accept them unless they were
Increased so as to equal the present
bullion value in silver of 1854 gold dol
lars. Baldwin accordingly brought
suit to compel Baker to accept the ten
der, desiring to have the courts decide
the actual money value of the silver
dollars in payment of debts. Baker
contends that the act of 1878 Is uncon-
stitutional because there is no provi-
sion for free coinage, but only for the
purchase of silver at it's deprecated
value in gold, the government taking
the seigniorage, which he calls illegal
ICED dishonesty" 1t is probable that
ne will find that his kind isn't even le-

An eloquent Methodist revivalist at
Oskaloosa, Kansas, produced power
full effect on numbers of young people
of the place, but they couldn't quite
bring themselves to go to what the
Salvation Army calls the penitent
form, on the front benches, because
they were jolly young people and en-
joyed frequent dances. An Episcopal
clergyman, seeing way to increase
his congregation, preached sermon
in which he made 1t clear that his
Church did not regard dancing as a
sin. When the news spread the young
people permitted themselves to be con-
verified at the revival services, and then
Joined the Episcopal Church. The re-
vivalist thereupon accused the Episco-
pal brother of unfairness They met
in newspaper office and had warm
tilt, but, as the local editor said, only
their spiritual bodies were harmed.

not to place too much confidence in the
