President McKinleys recent order re-
moving number of places from the iur
isdiction Of the civil service rules has nat
urally excited much comment. and Dem
ocrats and mugwumps of course criticise
his action. 1t should be remembered
that at the close of his last term of office
President Cleveland, after tuning Repub-
hcans out and filing the offices with Dem
ocrats, made sweeping extension of civil
service rules designed to keep Democr~ :
in and Republicans out. While civil SER
vice rules are no doubt good thing to a
certain extent, they are known to perpetu-
ate insOlence and ignorance in office. and
DO not add to the efficiency of all branches
of the public service That the GOOD of
the service and not partisanship influenced
President Mckinley in his recent action we
feel assured, and we rejoice that he has
the courage Of his convictions. A vast
deal of humbug masquerades under the
name Of reform.

Her Dainty Neckwear,

women will be wise if, before they
begin to purchase a kilt-plaited wnlte
tulle butterfly bow for the neck, they
consult their looking glasses and their
complexion, for not one woman in a
hundred "a stand this mass of white
under her chin. Nor are the chiffon
md l1sse ties, with patterns worked
III over them in narrow ribbons, much
better, from the same standpoint.
Elongated cream-colored lace bows
are more becoming and more graceful,
and very pretty are the soft silk, print
ed or painted with tiny forets, and the
road ribbon bows with chine bou-
quets which are quite charming if they
are but well made. The ends are
mostly long and fringed. They need
putting on, for jeweled pins deftly in
troduced add greatly to their grace and
their individual a~daptability, which is
the most essential part. The checked
transparent gauze ribbons are great
ly used for such purposes. One of the
new models is made of a crosscut
scarf of chiffon, with tiny roses i'm
printed on it in their natural roseate
hue. This encircles the neck, and is
formed into a great chou on the left
hand side, the scarf continued thence
to the waist, where it terminates in
two rosettes with ends.

What They Really Said.

Deeds of valor and s~elf-sacrifice in
face of the enemy are not always &C
companied by rhetorical fireworks.
During the Zulu war, after an engage
ment in which the British troops were
defeated by Cetewayo's black warriors,
and were compelled to fly for their
lives, an English cavalryman, whose
scraggy little pony limped from an
assegai slash, detached himself from
the retreat and galloped back upon the
charging Zulus. A glance over his
shoulder had shown him a dismounted
comrade, stumbling painfully along,
trying to jam some cartridges into his
ciogged revolver. When the troopers
pony trotted up the Zulus were almost
upon the two soldiers. Fortunately,
however, they had discarded their
spears, ard were m%ishandling captured
carbines. Now in q melodrama, or in
a realistic novel, the language of these
two gallant officers, one to the other,
would have been noble, lofty and in
spring. This is what they really said:
Get out of this, Bill, We bloomin' ijit
the black beggars will skewer ye,'
gasped the wounded man. you climb
up on this 'orse or III punch yer 'ead
off, was the reply of the other. And
1t is delightful" says a writer in Col
iier's Weekly, Ito be able to say thai
he did climb up, and they both escaped
from the black beggars,' and that the
trooper got the Victoria cross"

The Bridal Trousscau,

The trousseau of today differs from
that of the last generation in that it
contains only what the bride-elect is
going to need the first season following
her marriage. Clothes change in style
nowadays SO rapidly, not only in hats,
wraps and gowns, but in the shapes of
shoes and petticoats and corsets, that
the wise woman does not provide any
more OF anything than she has prac-
tlcally immediate use for. Then again
the trousseau should be designed for
the use to which it is to be put. The
bride who is going to travel for a year
needs quite a different outfit from that
required by n who is going at once
TO settle down to live in a city. The
bride who is going to live in a mining
camp needs a different trousseau from
that required by the bride who is TO
live in a university town. The farm
er's bride who is going to do her own
Homework in a sparsely settled dis
trict needs a number Of wash dresses
in which she can bake and boil and
yet look neat and attractive, while the
bride Of the city lawyer who is going
to live in a hotel most needs dresses
in which she can breakfast. lunch, and
dine in public dining rooms in the
face and eyes" OF well-dressed peo-
pie. etc. II the bride is going to live
at a fashionable hotel she must have
full dress" toilettes for dinners and
dances and evening functions of all de-
scriptions; but il she is going to live
on a ranch and take care of her house,
she doesn't need ball gowns, and she
does need cotton dresses by the half
dozen, at least. The former needs golf
shoes and satin slippers, the latter
wants comfortable homework and
farm shoes. One needs bathing dresses
and the other sun-bonnets. Both need
to remember that a woman should be
just as careful to dress becomingly aft.

White Seal Stuned.

Chicago Inter Ocean: A white seal,
. curiosity belonging to Alonzo Wy
CANT, general agent Of the United
States Express Company, was placed
on exhibition in the local Office Of the
company, No. 81 Washington street.
The seal is two feet long, and fine,
glossy hairs form a coat Of white for
the little animal, which is stuffed and
mounted. The seal was killed off the
coast of Newfoundland by a friend of
e. R. Carnell of the foreign depart
ment of Mr.. Wygant's Office. Mr.. Car
nell, who formerly resided in st. Johns,
says that the white seal is very rare.
There we call them wool seals. This
is a pup seal, not more than eight days
old. You can see on the head here
where it was killed, by being hit with

A Pretty Picture.

1t is the exceptional woman who
knows how to make up properly for a
picture. She will put on her best
Dress arrange her hair and then HE
herself to the photographer. The
proofs are seldom up to her expecta-
tions. She sees a prematurely-aged
woman, with sparse locks and a strain
ed expression in the place of the fairly
go%od-looking matron she believed her
self to be. All this is disheartening. In
fact, she is seldom as bad looking as
the pictures make her appear. She has
perhaps a bad habit of wearing her
hair plastered down on the sides. If
she wants to look pretty she must give
her hair especial attention. Puff it
loosely at the sides, and coil in a care
less, becoming manner in the back. If
possible, have the picture taken in
evening dress. There is nothing more
becoming to a Soft, wavy
lines are desirable in a picture. Plain
ness will never give a pretty effect.
The domestic m should remember
this, and not be afraid of attempting
graceful lines. A bust is more salts
factory than a full or half length, es-
pecially if one is not sure of her abil-
ity to assume a graceful pose. Let
the matron approach the camera with
the same confidence as her daughter;
let her be as anxious for pretty re-
suits; let her pose before the mirror
until she decides on her attitude, then
let her defy the photographer with the
yet ideas and she will take a picture
(which will surprise herself and her

The Fate of Beauty.

AS rising on its purple wing
Inc lnsect-queen of eastern spring.
Ger emerald meadows of Kashmeer
invites the young pursuer near,
And leads him on from flower to "
A weary chase and wasted hour;
Then leaves him, as it scars on high,
With painting heart and fearful eye;
So beauty lures the f%ull-grown child,
With hue as bright, and wing as wild,
A chase of idle hopes and fears,
Begun in folly, closed in tears.
If won, to equal Ills betrayed,
Wo waits the insect and the maid,
A life of pain, the loss of peace,
From infants play, and mans caprice:
The lovely toy so tiercely sought
Hath lost its charm by being caught.
For every touch that woocd its stay
Hath brush'd its brightest hues away:
Til. charm, and hue. and beauty gone,
lis left to fly or fall alone
With wounded wing. or bleeding breast.
All! where shall either victim rest?
Can this with faded pinion soar
From rose to tulip as before?
Or beauty, blighted in an hour,
Find JOY within her broken bower?
No! gayer insects fluttering by
Ne'cr droop the wing DER those that die
And lovelier things have mercy shown
To every failing but their own;
And every wo a tear can claim
Except an erring sisters shame.

OSCAR T. coRsoN, PRESIDENT.

Oscar Taylor Corson elected presl-
dent of the National Teachers Asso-
citation, is a native Of Ohio and is a
farmers son. He was born in Preble
county, near Camden, May 8, 1857. He
was educated in the village schools Of
Camden and the Ohio Wesleyan uni
versity at Delaware, from which insti-
tuition he was graduated in 1879. He
had engaged in teaching occasionally
while in college, and when his college
work was done he determined to make
that his life work. He was elected II
p~erintendent of the schools at Cam
bridge, Ohio, in which work he con-
tinued until 1892, when he was elected
commissioner of common schools Of
Ohio. In 1895 he was reelected. Re-
firing from office last January he ap-
piled himself to the work of publishing
he Ohio Educational Monthly, a mag
azine devoted to the cause of education
which he had purchased while in office,
and to institute work, for which he
has received calls from Michigan,
Pennsylvania and Florida. Mr.. Cor

AT a recent club meeting in a suburban
town a member presented the value
OF system in Work." and gave a model
day in which every minute from break
fast to bedtime was filled with active
effort. When she had finished a wom-
an in the audience arose and pointed
u that one important occupation of
the day had been omitted. This was
"dawdilng," and the speaker said that
while indorsing the value of system
she must put in an eloquent plea for
the incorporation in the working day
OF every woman Of at least a half
hours absolute rest-not the rest of a
fresh occupation, but the rest of com
plete and entire relaxation, mental
n physical. The nervous, active, ov-
er-zealous American woman of today
scarcely knows how to rest. IF you
nave found a day to be idle" says
some one, "be idle for a day." This is
a motto that many women will do weii
to fasten up on their dressing tables.

is drawn through the upper part every
time it is put on. 1t is drawn as tight
ly as possible, and then the upper part
Of the buckle, in regular garter buckle
style, clamps down upon the folds, hold

the ribbon, or sash, hangs straight
down, without any loops or bow, in one
long strip on the front of the dress.
This gives somewhat the same appear

this summer is much longer in front

Women Too Busy.

The gospel of periodical rest is not
preached to women half forcibly
enough. One of the most narrowing
remarks made at the Denver meeting
of club women last year was by an en-
thusiast, who urged that women should
not slip back in the summer from the
effort they had made during the win
ter. It was evident the speaker would
take away from this busy modern
woman the scan respite she permits
