Paris, December 30.-Although Christmas Is past, the streets are full and the shop ping goes on. The biting Paris winds keep nobody in the house. Women put on an extra collete and the men leisurely lift tho collars of their coats. They are used to it.
 The dressmaking establishments continue to flourish, notwithstanding Frances polit- ical squabbles and the uncertainty of the Bourse. In the thick of one of the demonstra- tions near the Tuileries gardens the other day, when cautious shopkeepers were hur- riedly closing their shutters and doors for fear of bullet showers, there were a num- Der of smart shoppers abroad on business bent who were heartily disgusted at the blockaded streets and the closed shops. This is such busy month in the feminine world when real winter toilettes must be worn.
 It is the season when the fur dealers have their innings. and though it is rather a short season. it is approximately busy one.
 There are quite a number of new features to be recorded of this winters fur wraps. Capes are in the majority, and their lengths are as divers as their styles. One feature common to nearly all of them, or at least goodly lot of them, is the shaped fur hounce.
 Jackets of course are longer than last seasons and hardly as elaborate, though there are quito a few yet embellshed with plush, lace jabots and jeweled belts Cloth is combined a great deal with furs.
 The Firs
 Sable and chinchilla are quite the most popular furs this season, and there is quite a little bison to be seen. It does look as though sealskin would soon be re-estab- lished in favor after temporary bansh- ment of few years,
 One of the handsomest garments I have seen this year was long coat of sealskn with a high Medicis collar and revers of err mine
 Broadtail seems particularly adapted to close fitted garments, and quite a number of jackets have been fashioned of this fur.
 Jeweed buttons on fur garments make another innovation that meets with great deal of approval Medcis collars are larger than ever, perhaps roomier expresses it better for they must admit fur boa that is either just long enough to encircle the neck, or one that falls stole fashion to the knees.
 As the season advances Dame Fashion says that boas will grow in favor and in length

astrachan- It fitted into the curves of the figure at the back, and had moderate long close-fitting basques. Down the front it had a box-plait of violet cloth that fas- tened over to the left side.
 This only reached as far as the bust line, where a band of purple and gilt passe- menterie in describing a V bordered the top. Two bands of the passementere were put on in the form of a bolero; and, again, two bands bordered each side of the box plait.

The front of the jacket was trimmed with bands of the passementerie that were caught up to the left shoulder At the front of the Medicis collar there was jabot of lace. The sleeves were cose-ft- ting, with broad turn-back cuffs. At the top they were trimmed with two bands of the passementere. The jacket was lined throughout with violet brocade satin.

in Washington, where the genera

The claims Of credit for Dewey's
selection to Command the Asiatic
squadron-a selection which made
glorious history-put forward by
friends of several gentlemen, notably
Gov. Roosevelt and Senator Proctor,
are not recognized by Secretary Long,
who says the credit belongs to no hm-
man being except Dewey himself,
who was recommended by the Bureau
of Navigation for the assignment,
because of his special fitness for the
command and because it was his turn
to 90 to sea and command a squad
ron. He adds that the President APP
proved his choice of Dewey the first
time the matter was spoken to him,
and that the appointment was fully
settled although not announced. be-
fore there were any outside requests
for Dewey's assignment to the place.
Dewey's friends had got the idea
from him that he thought Hon.
Theodore Roosevelt, at the time AS
sistant Secretary of the Navy had
been instrumental in getting him sent
to Asiatic waters, but, of course,
Secretary Long knows all about it.
1t is very clearly indicated by the
action of the administration in giving
Gen. Otis number Of additional
staff officers, including Gen. Theo-
dore Schwan as Chief of Staff and
Principal Assistant, that Gen. Otis
is to retain the supreme command in
the Philippines, Notwithstanding the
extraordinary efforts that have been
made to get him removed. 1t is
among War Department |
officials that Gen. Schwan, who is
lawyer as well as an officer of fine
executive ability, will relieve Gen.
Otis of much of the administrative
work pertaining to the Office Of Mill
AIRY Governor thus giving him more
line to devote to the coming Military
Campaign.

The Missouri Compromise.

The Hon. Champ. Clark, member Of
Congress from Missouri, in a recent
letter sent for publication to syndi
cate of newspapers, pays the, follow
ing deserved tribute to a Kentucky
woman, we'll known the State over:
at is passing strange, but never
theless absolutely true, that woman
has written the best book of Ameri-
can history. Mrs. Susan Bullitt
Dixon, widow of the late United
States Senator Archibald Dixon, OF
Kentucky, is the author.
The True History Of the Mis-
souri, Compromise and its Repeal is
the title of her great and invaluable
work.
"Macauley declared it to be his
ambition to write history of Eng
land that would divide interest with
the latest novel. He accomplished
his purpose. Here in this Western
world, a half century later, Mrs.
Dixon rivals his splendid literary
feat. In the days to come her his
tory will be quoted as frequently as
his, in America, at least. Yet their
styles are as wide apart as the poles.
His is horil, anecdotal, enhancing.
Hers is lucid, plain, severely judicial.
His theme was the growth of human
liberty in England; hers the rise, de-
cline and fall of African slavery in
America.
"step by step she unfolds the
bloody and astounding drama which
began at jamestown in 1903 and
ended at Apponatox in 1865 in
manner that holds the intensest in
.erest of the reader from first to last.

A Social Hint.

When young man habitualy speak
slightly of women, one may feel REASONABLE,
sure that moral blight rests upon his
character. A scathing rebuke was once
conveyed to man of this class, who at q
public dinner, at which no ladies were
present, was called upon to respond TO The
toast"Woman." He dwelt almost entirely
on the fraitIes Of the sex, claiming that
the best among them are little better than
the worst, the chief difference beng in
their surroundings. At the conclusion OF
his speech, one Of the guests arose and
said; 81 trust the gentleman, in the APP
plication of his remarks, refers to his own
mother end sisters, not to ours" This
young man in his low estimate of women
unconsciously verified a sententious say
ing by the author of Youth: "The criter-
ion of a mans character is not his creed.
religious, intellectual or moral; it is the
degree of respect he has for women" AS
contrast to the light and aippant tone
in which too many young men of the pres
ent day speak of the other sex, is the noble
tribute from an eminent clergyman, who
says: u am more grateful to God for the
sense that came to me through my mother
and sisters of the substantial integrety,
purity and nobility of womanhood than
for almost anything else in the world."-

On the first OF June next, the work
Of taking the Twelfth Census of the
United States will begin. The emu.
merators will then make their APP
pearance at every farm house in the
country and PROFOUND a series Of
questions to the head of every house
hold. These questions will relate
not merely to the number of persons
their age and sex and occupation,
but to the crops tor the year 1899
1t is in this point that we desire "a
say word to the farmers. 1t is
eminently desirable that the agricul.
tural resources Of the Southern States
should be accurately set forth in the
census statistics. This will be i'm
possible unless the farmers them
selves cooperate with the enumera
tors. 1t is an admitted fact that in
former census the South did not re-
ceive full credit for her productions.
Many OF the figures were the result OF
mere guess work. There is only one
way in which accurate returns can be
secured and the evil corrected which
has done so much injustice to this
section. The remedy is in the hands
of the farmers. They must prepare
to give correct and complete answers
to the questions of the enumerators.
In order to do so it is necessary to
keep a record Of the crops Of 1899,
whether consumed at home or sold in
the market. Many of the crops OF
this year will be disposed of before
the first of June next and the new
crops will be under way. If the
farmer depends upon memory alone
for the extent, variety and value OF
the crops of 1899, it is plain that he
will have to do a great deal of CUES
sing and the statistics will lack the
element Of perfect accuracy. which is
so much to be deserved it is not too
soon for the farmers of this section to
begin the work Of preparation. Let
them set down in little book kept
for the purpose, the amount of their
crops and farm products of every kind,
stating a fair valuation of every item
whether sold or consumed at home.
If this work is done with little care,
the farmer will have the means at
hand for giving prompt and accurate
answers to the questions of the
enumerator next June. If all the
farmers adopt this plan the agricul-
tural resources of the South will hold |
their proper place in the returns OF
the Twelfth Census. 1t is hoped
that our farmer readers will take
pains to call the attention of such
as do not read newspapers
to the importance of this subject.
There are many colored farmers in
this section. Unless they are in
structed by their white neighbors in
advance, they will not be prepared to
give the requisite information to the
.-Lynchburg NelcS.
