CURRENT COMMENT,

The Pittsburg Dispatch (Rep) saws:
THE movement among the savings banks
of this city to reduce the interest rate to
per cent. is an indication that the fin.n-
cial conditions of the East are being felt
here. Money is becoming more abundant
and naturally cheaper. This is incidental
to becoming a creditor nation.
Cheap money is always an inducement to
investment in active enterprises, which
promise greater returns than first-class
mortgages or deposits in savings banks.
Such investment increases the employment
and demand for la Dor and puts the whole
machinery of trade into more lively mo-
ton. In this aspect of the matter il af
fecis every citizen, the humblest toiler as
well as the magnate who has sold his
shares in one concern and is looking
for an opportunity to purchase those of
another to better advantage"
There is still hope ahead. The Louisville
Courier-Journal Dem) says "The Geer-
gia press has discovered three boys. one
of whom is so cross-eyed that when he
cries the tears drop over his ears, another
who can look at the back of his head and
a third who has 10 turn around to see
how TO button his galluses in front" When
these grow up Georgia will not Jack ex-
perts to so 10 Congress or sit on the
bench and reveal to us just what the con-
stitution of the United States means"
The Springfield Republican Qnd) says:
1.-TWO gems of thought from Senator
Davis Dayton speech;
We want markets.
The United States is the great and con-
secrated evangelist of humanity.
They say that Davis looks like the late
Benjamin f. Butler"
The Philadelphia Press Rep) says:
"The submission of the Vlsayas of Negros
will be found 10 be the first step toward
the willing surrender of the five Islands
which they occupy, and whose largest
city, I'ollo, is already under the American
Gag"

The Poulan (Ga) Poultry Club is a new
enterprise which is deserving of success.
The club is organized for both pleasure
and profit, and will endeavor to interest
those in the neighborhOd of Poulan in
poultry raising. There is a good field for
such an enterprise in this, as well as in
other parts Of the state. Georgia con-
sumes annually hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of poultry and eggs in ex-
cess of what she produces. There IS no
reason for any such condition. Georgia
should, as a matter of fact, have a sur
plus of poultry and eggs worth hundreds
of thousands OF dollars every year. to sell
to less favorably conditioned sister states.
We heartily wish the Poulan club sue
cess, and hope to see many more of the
same sort all over Georgia.

There is one very significant feature
about the weather crop bulletin issued
from Atlanta the other day giving a sum
mary of conditions after the cold snap
1t is that wheat is mentioned in nearly
every county, not only in the northern and
middle sections of the state, but in the
southern part also A few years ago wheat
would have had no place in the bulletin.
It is very encouraging sign.

one of the queer rumors in connection
with Quay's fight for the Pennsylvania
senatorship is to the effect that in a few
days unless something occurs to change
the plans, Quay's friends will drop him,
and ask the Independent Republicans to
join them in voting for another candi-
date, as yet unnamed. This candidate is
to be dummy" He will be senator
only while the Pennsylvania legislature
IS IN session. Upon the adjournment of
that body the dummy senator will re-
sign, and Gov. Stone whom Quay created,
wall appoint Quay to the place. The
wishes of the public seem to cut absolu-
tely no figure in Pennsylvania politics.

The boWknot is about all one sees from the front. but the back shows a small beguin shape, covered with Medee colored velvet, the bow being of velvet of the ColiDette shade. The side and center pieces of the bonnet are outlined by a row of gold spangles.

READ FROM THE OUTSIDE.
What Letters Sometimes Reveal tO the sharp Eyed Postman Who

Did it ever occur to you how much more than the mere addresses on the letters he delivers the postman reads how much of the seamy side of life he sees? The postman in our district, now
 for example. There is, he says, a snug little house just round the corner where young girl answers his ring. A year ago last summer when he rang one morning an elderly woman opened the door. Next day, and irregularly twice or thrice a week for the next tive months, letters came to the young girls mother addressed in a sprawling, girl. ish hand, and postmarled with the name of Pennsylvania mountain resort
 Then, one morning, the young girl her self opened the door aqain, and looked disappointed when an advertising cir. cular was all she received The nex; morning, however, she dimpled and blushed when she saw her own name on an envelope which bore on one corner the name of a business firm There were two stamps. and the postmarR was Pittsburgh. Every day after that similar letter came, and at Christmas there was small box that came reg

Then the same writing appeared on an en. FeI0Pe with the name of an Atlantic City hotel on l. The girl went away 10 the springs again in August. Two Atlantic City letters arrived during he1 six weeks absence. One came with the Pittsburgh postmark the day after she returned. Then for a month no letter came. She opened the door eagerly every time tbe Postman rang. and some. times her lip quivered q little when there was DO letter for her. The Pitts. burgh postmark on a letter came then

women who best appreciate this and know how to prevent it. The English or American woman pays much atten- tion to the fit and appearance of the outer garment, but spells it's effect by the fit of the clothing she wears be- meath it. The dressmaker gave nae a few simple rules on this subject which will bear printing:
 1. Wear combination underwear if possible. It produces less fullness at the waist.
 2. Be sure that the corset fits prop erly. If necessary it will pay to have it made to order to secure the most perfect fit
 3. Use silk laces in the corset, as they are more elastic than either cotton or linen and allow better adjustment.
 4. Wear as few bands as possible al or near the hips, and wear them be- low the waist line.
 5. After these be careful that the carriage of the body is at all times cor rect.
 One would never imagine that spring. was almost upon us were it not for the elaborate display of spring goods in the shops. The windows are filled with beautiful shirt waists, pretty hats handsome jackets and elaborate spring gowns, all in the new spring colors.
 The early spring hats are shown prin- cipalIy in white and very light blue feits. A few are seen in very bright shades of pink, the Corail and geranium shades being the most popular in this color. Most of the pink shapes are trimmed with black velvet and a mass of black ostrich feathers, and are exceedingly striking.
 For early spring straw wiIl not be as freely worn as in some former seasons. But those that one sees in the streets are nearly always of the brighter col ors In straw one finds the various shades of red, with the exception of scarlet, which is carefully avoided. From the palegt pink to the brightest claret red the shades run. Some yeI- low shapes are also shown, as are also yellow and black stripes in straw. The latter are the most striking of the sea- sons productions in millinery. A few of the new blues and reddish purples are seen, but they are the exception rather than the rule
 Bonnets will be popular to a certain extent, and will retain the small dimen sions that have characterized this fea tpre of millinery during the winter sea son. But in hats the greatest chang IS noticeable. This is especially tru n the height of the crown, whicl -naS gone away up in most cases. Stl one sees occasionally low crown. s loM n fact that the crown and shriI are almost on level.

Tn one of the suburbs west of Chicago is a grocer who, although devout ehurehgoer and faithful citizen, has the reputation of figuring closer in his business dealing than any other man in the village His enemies say that he once bit coffee bean in two to make weight, and that he stops his clock at night to save wear and tear on the wheels. The grocer lives above his store, and his home IS connected with his place of business by pair of stairs indoors The grocer's son takes the late watch in the store, and every night at nine clock the good man opens the door at the top of the steps and the follow ing conversation takes place.

TO PREVENT EARACHE.
Anxious Mothers Are Often Re. sBonsibie for Deafness Of
 Children

Few ailments are mere common among children than earaehe. and mothers, though unconscious of Che f&st, are themselves the cause of much suffering from this painful malady in their children. In her anxiety to have the child's ear clean. mother will sometimes endeayor to remove every particle of ear wax fHom the inner DOT ton of the ear, and 10 accomplish this to her own satisfaction will some times even use hairpin, covered with the towel, or the towel itself twisted to a point.
 The treatment is not only altogether too harsh, but it is unnecessary and harmful to remove all the wax, The membrane lining the canal of the ear contains a great number of little glands which =secrete this waXy substance, and the purpose of this is to prevent the en- trance of insects and keep the inner ear clean The layers of waxdry in scales, which rapidly fall away, and remove with them any particle of dust or other foreign matter which may have found entrance to the ear.
 Be eontented when you have made the child's ear clean outside and thor oughly dry and leave nature to attend to her affairs in her own way. In a ease of earache, nothing more irritat- ing than a few drops of olive oil, warmed 10 a temperature of blood heat, should ever be placed in the ear. Nine-tenths of the earache of childhood and large proportion of the deafness of old age is due to adenoid growths in the throat, which may be removed when one is young by very slight operation.
 Not a little danger is oceasioned by children snufing up accidentally, or otherwise, articles into the nose, where they get lodged and refuse to move one way or the other. The great danger is of the article remaining there so long before it is removed as to cause swell Ing and inflammation. The following will be found a very simple method of removing the article: Place a thin cloth over the child's mouth, and, with your fingers, close the nostril not con taining the article. Next, put your mouth close to the child's and give two pr three strong putfs, and In nine eases out of ten the substance will fly out-Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

 Still another that is very chic and attracted its full share of attention is a turban toque of Marjolaine blue crepe, forming drapery divided by fine double shirrings. It is raised on tha left side, and adorned by large oval rosette of white mousseline de soie. On the same side rises a half-long white ostrich feather shading into blue of the same shade as the hat. This feather crosses over the crown in the fash ionable way.

 W "A French woman looks nice in anything because she knows how to wear her gowns"
 I agree with him perfectly. The cheapest of gowns have an elegance when worn by a French woman that expensive materials and high-priced tailors cannot produce in gowns for some people. asked the dressmaker the reason for this.
 Its in the fit" he replied. Not in the fit of the gown itself, for the Eng fish or American women spend greater sums in securing 8 fit than do the French women, but it's in the it Of the under garments"
