Rathbone seems to have been ia
little tin god' while he lasted. The
Cuban postofice regulations gave him
almost absolute powers, and, to quote
Kipling. pheasant it is for little tin
gods, during the hours when the great
Jove mods: but little tin gods make
their little mistakes, missing the hour
when the great Jove wakes" The
country is awake now and Rathbone
and Thompson, and Mckinley, too,
must take the consequences.

Colonel Webster Davis has fur
nished the newspapers with a resume
written in the third person-of the
reasons why he should be nominated
for Viee-President. The gist of it
seems to be that he would catch the

catch the British vote. Then they
can call all action a stand-off.

The New skirt.

The sheathlike skirt that fits the
figure like glove is one which should
be avoided by every woman With the
slightest tendency to embonpoint. But
the poor stout woman cries out in her
perplexity, What am to do?"
There is something else, style
which will just suit her. and which
seems to have been modelled especial
ly for her. The modists are clever
enough to know that the stout woman
is as much to be considered as the
slim one, and with this object In view
has been designed skirt which is
built upon lines certain to appeal to
the woman who continues taking on
flesh.
This new and probably permanent
wrinkle in skirt topography is intend
ed for women whose form is such that
q certain amount of drapery is essen
tial. 1t is skirt with the triple box
plat, folded narrowly at the placket
and flowing out wide and gracefully
into the train, and promises to be a
boon which will be eagerly welcomed

Scented Beds.

II is now not an unsual thing to or
der that In your mattress of hair or

many housekeepers arrive at nearly
the same result by using small fiat
sachets filed with lavender or violet or
orris TO slip under the turned down
sheet or put In at the tucked in cor
ners above the mattress. The pillow is
perfumed by silk sachet of it's own
size and shape slipped in on the un-
used side between the case and the
ticking. None OF this seems very wise
unless the perfume is confined to your
own bed-as many persons dislike all
perfumes and others are made sick by
certain odors. Therefore to perfume a
bed for guest whose idiosyncrasies
are not known is dangerous, to say the
least.
