Franklin'a Monu ments.

There are as many statues Of Benja-
mon Franklin, probably, as of any other
American, unless it be Washington; but
the city of Philadelphia, which was
Franklin's place of residence through
the greater part of his life, possessed no
really splendid memorial Of the great
man until recently. On June IA statue
of Franklin, presented to the city by
Mr.. Strawbridge, the work of the sculp-
tor John J. Boyle, was unveiled in front
of the postoffice.
The statue is of bronze and represents
the philosopher and statesman seated,
in an attitude of that thoughtful and
courteous attention which, it seems to
us, must have been characteristic of
him. It is in the costume Of Franklin's
own period. 1t represents, undoubtedly
the Franklin whom Philadelphia knew;
for he was best known in the city of
his residence, as the philosopher, the
journalist the author, the man of
science, rather than as the statesman
or the man of affairs.
The deferential smile which the seated
figure in the statue w0ars was certainly
characteristic of Franklin. The gentle
ness Of his ways always endeared him to
his neighbors, though they found much
to depreciate in his opinions and in his
ways of life. Even when, on his arrival
in Philadelphia, he was once seized for
falling asleep in religious meeting,
account was quickly taken OF the fact
that he was young. and greatly exhaust
ed by travel
Franklin has received one sort of
monumental tribute to a degree second
only to that of Washington. More towns
and postoffices have been named after
Washington himself, though the be-
stoWal of the name Washington on the
capital Of the country transcends, of
course. any similar honors accorded to
Franklin.
Thirty-six places in the United States
in as many states and territories. bear
the name of Franklin simply, and "a
others bear names into which the word
enters in combination, such as Frank

The naming of the first town for
Franklin was regarded by him as a
great honor. This was in 1878 during
the revolutionary war. The town of
Wrentham. Mass. was divided. one
part of it taking the name of the ce1e-
brated diplomatist and philosopher. In
recognition of the honor Franklin pre-
scented the new town with a bell for it's
church.

What Dorothy Said.
When first to DOtty l was wed
One morning unto her l said:
The pies that mother used to make,
And likewise, too, her bread and cake.
Were of the best. Now strive, my lass,
To get in mothers cooking class
She looked me sQuarely in the eye
And made this innocent reply:
ITO cook like her I'll surely try:
sBut, and her look was very sly
Il want a cook stove nice and bright
Sent up to me this very night
A stove like father used to buy"
The years are many DER my mead
Since unto Dorothy l said
A word about how mother cooked.
I've not forgot how Dotty looked
The day first made that bad break
About how mother used to bake.
But let me say. 'twixt you and l,
That many times with heartfelt sigh
I've seen her unto me draw nigh,
And, with a glitter in her eye,
Say unto me: Il want a hat,
And yards of this and yards of that
Just like my father used to by"

Ladies' Skirt With Circular Front
Drapery. No. 1887.
Hints by May Manton.
This elegant model comprises many of
the new ideas which will be found in tn Z
early spring skirts. 1t is made with
a narrow front gore and side gore which
reaches almost to the center back at the
waist, where the box plaid is applied.
The front and side cores fit closely
over the hips and flare stylishly from
the knee down. To this underskirt is
applied a deep ACCORDION plating or it
may be smoothly faced with contrasting
material.
The front drapery is seamless, fitting
smoothly across the hips. The lower
edge is cut in tabs of unique shaping,
finished with heavy lines of machine
stitching. The back is arranged in a
triple box plat at the waist line and
falls in graceful folds to the floor, where
it spreads. but retains its box peated
effect.
The sides OF the plated back and low
er edge are finished with machine stitch
ing in tailor style. The skirt closes in
visibly at the left side under the box
plat.
AS illustrated, the skirt is made on a
soft taffeta lining, finished around the
bottom with Donna skirt facing. The
plating across the front and sides is
of heavy corded taffeta, and beautiful
black venetian is employed for the drap-
cry and box plated back
This. skirt is particularly becoming
and graceful to almost any figure. For
evening wear it can be made of crepe

chiffon, mousseline de sole or lace
plating.

broadcloth may be appropriately used,
with taffeta or rich bengaline silk plait-

used in place of machine stitching, and

HOW TIiEN NATE THE GIRLS IN
Ill NGA(N.

From Wharton Barker's American.
One of the most popular. best known
and perhaps most beloved of the pa
triotic authors of our day is Maurus
Jokai. the Hungarian writer. Although
something over three score years and
ten Jokai is as young and buOyant as
man half his years, and only within the
last six months has he entered into the
state of matrimony with youthful and
dashing operate star. Soon we may
look for new romance in which some
thing personal shall appear for our
author is not man to let slip such
chance.
The present story. we believe. was
published some 40 years ago and has
been received with such universal and
whole-hearted applause as to have been
translated into German, Swedish, Dan
ish, Dutch Polish and English. AS
need bow to none. No modern writer
compares with the Hungarian master
for vividness of description or for dra-
matte scenes and climaxes. Then, too,
noble life so fascinating and life-liks
that his dullest passages glow with an
enthusiasm seldom met with in the
most exciting and stirring scenes of
other writer's
Jokai's description of the maiden
markets recalls to mind an old time
honored custom among the peasants of
Hungary and Roumania that is gradu-
ally dying out before the advance of
modern society. STILL it is such
quaint and pretty custom that we must
permit the author to describe it him
self in his own words
ION certain day of the year things
are very lively at Geina. In the evening
of the first Sunday after ST. John Bap-
lists day the gingerbread bakers come
thither from Rezbanya and Topanfalu
with their horses dragging loads of
honey cakes and barrels full of meal and
brandy and pitch their tents in the
forest clearing. On that Sunday the
highlands are full of merry folks, and
the maiden market is held there From
near and far repair thither the mothers
and their manageable daughters, all
tricked out, with their dowries ready in
the shape of strings of gold and silver
coins round their necks, with bright
varigated garments at their horses sides
and stuffed pillows and painted pitchers
on the saddles in front of them. All
these things they unpack and arrange
in rows In front Of the tents, just as at
an ordinary fair; then the purchasers
come along, jaunty, connubically-in-
clined young fellows. who inspect the

School for Adult Blind.

Captain Daniel Beck OF Seattle who
has sailed the great oceans for 81
years, during which time he has made
20 trips around Cape Horn, and was
most unfortunately stricken with
total blindness about four years ago,
was in the city yesterday for the pur-
pose OF raising money for the estab-
lishment OF an industrial school for
the adult blind OF the Northwest, to
be founded on Lake Schamish near
his home city. He is accompanied by
his little daughter who acts as guide.
The captain has 10000 petitioners
on his list which will be addressed to
and laid before the next legislature.
The gentleman comes with the high
est recommendation and fattering
press notices from one end OF the
country to the other. That the insti-
tuition will be established is foregone
conclusion, and the worthy cause
should receive encouragement from
every source.

The registration books are open at
the office Of the county clerk and
those who have not already registered
should do 50. Every citizen should
attend to this important matter as
early as possible in order that there
may be full registration. The cleo
tive franchise confers not only priv
ilege, but duty, and those who refuse
to exercise it when they have the OPP
portunity, are in great measure re-
sponsible for the evils that result from
bad legislation. In national, state,
or county election, it is hard to get
some people to the polls, but in a
town or school election it is almost
impossible. People should not re-
quire urging to induce them to take a
proper amount of interest in the
affairs of their country or city, and a
man who through sheer laziness neg
lects to register is not good citizen.
Notwithstanding the mallimportance
that is usually attached to a town or
school election, they are really the
most important OF all, as upon the
ability and qualification OF the mem
bers of the school board or councilmen
depends the success OF either. Another
feature OF elections that should have
the attention of the people are the
primaries or nominating conventions
and the neglect Of attending them is
the real source of frequent dissatisfac-
ton during the ensuing administra-
ton.
