In Leslie's Weekly H. T. Dobbins has this to say regarding the change which the last four years have wrought in MT. Bryan's countenance: It is the verdict of those who have but occasionally seen MT. Bryan during the past four years that he has aged greatly. When he 7 was nominated in 1896 he was but 36 years old and possessed a virility and vigor that made him man of mark in any circle There was an alertness of eye, mobility of mouth. a smooth ness of feature, an absence of the lines that denote care and mental and physi- cal strain, and musical ring to the voice. To-day his eye is stern, the mouth in repose, is tightly closed, and there is a metallic sound, faint but yet distinct, in his voice. There is full ness under the eyes, and about them little "crow's feet" Two well-marked lines diverge to right and left from the nostrils, and there is a deep indenta- ton in the chin where before were the merest outlines of dimple.

The United States Supreme court on adjourning recently for the summer left three hundred and four cases un- disposed of on it's docket. The same number were left undisposed of on it's adjournment for the summer last year. Three hundred and seventy new cases were filed during the term just finished, and in exactly the same number of cases the court heard arguments or &C., cepted briefs.

The Charleston News and' Courier is one of the few papers which, having op- rosed Bryan four years ago, support him now. It accepts imperialism as the paramount issue and says: "The only weak spot in the platform is the decla- tion in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver" it says but free silver is not an issue in this fight. Bad as it is, however, much as we should regret the triumph of a policy which would cause disturbance in the busi- ness and commercial world, we should welcome it with all it's actual and inag- mary evils rather than the success of the policy of Imperialism. If free sil- yer Is necessary to the preservation of free government, give us free silver"

Those who think that when women talk at their meetings they don't say anything are respectfully invited to notice the fact that Mrs. Coonley Ward of Chicago, at the meeting of women's clubs in Milwaukee. in some remarks on dress said; "I tell you, my friends, the greatest barrier to womans pro- gress to-day is the trailing skirt" Another oe her remarks was: "Only a fairylike form may venture to cut her self in two with waist of one color and a skirt of another" Still another: "It is hindering to talk through a veil; to wear one to an entertainment is rudeness itself. and to kiss through them -"

STORY OF THE GREAT WALL.

Puck's veracious Account OF How It Wal

Chin Chi Hwangti, emperor Of China

whipped everybody in his neighbor
hood who wanted to fight and quite, 8
number who did not. But like many
another successful man, he was sub
ject to periodical attacks of the blues
On one of these occasions, while he
was sitting in his palace, gazing Gle
Jectedly at the luxurious furniture, AL

the empire, dropped in.

A Way to Improve Starch.

A hint for housekeepers is that
starch is improved when little table
salt is added but like many hopeful
hints it has another side. Ironing is
easier with the salted starch. but the
least dampness reduces the stiffness to
limp and unpleasant state. Either
borax or gum-arabic has the opposite
effect, preserving the stiffness. Some
housekeepers make their strach Of
soapy water. The soap prevents the
iron from sticking. But it isn't good
idea to use soap in starch. 1t has a
decided tendency toward turning the
clothes yellow.

bonnet; it will atone for everything.
Away she ran for it. She came back
soon with fluffy thing perched on her
golden curls that made her look be-
witching. She rushed up to her hus-
band.
There, now, sir, how do you like
that?" she gaily asked, and pushed up
her rosebud of mouth for kiss. But
he, in blind rage at being so outwit-
ted snatched the bonnet from her
head and flung it into the fire. The
little wife turned deadly pale.
"Oh, john" she moaned, you for,
get that this is our wedding day" And
putting up two small hands, whose
only ornament was plain wedding
ring, to hide her face, she sobbed like
child.
John gazed at her in dazed sort OF
way. He loved her better than his
life. but he had not thought it neces-
sary to let her know it.
"Oh, Lucy-oh, my dear heart, stop!
I've been a brute-I see it for the first
time! Only stop crying and III turn
over a new leaf. You shall have a
bank account of your own; every
month 1 will give you what l would
give a housekeeper. Will that satisfy
you, dear wife," cried he. taking her
in his arms and soothing her as If she
were pain-stricken child.

woman alive" she said, throwing her
arms round his neck, and smiling
through her tears.
And thus, in one house, the ques'
tion of the wife's allowance was salts
factorily settled.

Household Decoration.

The fireplace, as we all know, must
be the centre of interest in room, rep
resenting, as it does, the gathering
place for family. The mantel is part
of the fireplace, and generally gives
the keynote to the room. When it Is
architecturally good, as in this In
stance, it must be treated with more
or less formality. The ornaments
which go on it should be those which
in themselves are interesting. on which
the eye can rest with satisfaction when
it travels up from the blaze beneath.
Little gewgavs and knickknacks have
no place on it. Dignity, simplicity, and
reserve must, together with the beauti-
full be suggested in every detail.
When a mantel-shelf is low, low en-
ough to support an elbow. and when
it comes over CRATE, it can often he
