REFORM IN DRESS

REFORM IN DRESS.
A movement has been inaugurated in
Paris TO bring Nahout a reform in the
matter of woman's dress. The question
is being discussed in the French papers.
One woman, in discussing the matter,
says the only reform which is practical
and Immediately possible is the definite
abolition of the dress, or gown. Among
other things, she says: There is no rea-
son why a dress should be worn in this
eye, when 5Wictness is the order of the
day. 1t is an inconveuient, ridiculous
and uncomfortable garment.
Furthermore, it is very inconvenient
from a femirinc standpoint, AMI for the
reason that 1t creates between the two
Sexes n distinction Which is essentially
fictitious. as for the claim that the

THE EAR GOD.

THE FAIR GOD.
This is a historical romance of the con-
quest of Mexico by the Spaniards, it's
scene laid upon Aztec soil, in the early
part of the sixteenth century. The title
is derived from Quetzalcoatl, ''the fair
god' the Aztec deity of the air. De-
scriptions of the religious and national
customs are pleasantly interviewer with
the plot. The Emperor Montezuma is
drawn as i noble but vacillating prince.
whom the efforts of mobiles and people
alike fail to arouse to a determined OPP
position to the invading Cortez. At first
thinking that the Spaniards are gods, he
insists upon welcoming them as guests,
ignoring the protests of his subjects, and
even permitting himself to be crafty
shut up, voluntary prisoner, in the
quarters of the Spaniards. GuatamoZin,
nephew and son-in-laW to Montezuma,
mighty in arms rs wise in council, or
ganizes the Aztecs for the overthrow OF
the Spaniards. A fierce conflict RACES for
many days. Toward its close the mel
ancholy MdnteZuma appears upon the
prison wall.
Before all the people Guatamozin sends
a. shaft home to the breast of his mon
arch, who lives long enough to intrust
the empire to his SLAYER, and also free
him from blame for his death, explaining
that the shaft had been aimed at his
(Montezuma's) own request. The Aztec
army row rallies and the Spaniards
yielding at length to starvation, disease,
and superior numbers, leave the empire.
Too shattered to regain it's former vigor,
even under the wise rule of GuatamoZin,
the state gradually totters to its eventual
fall, a catastrophe which the author in
dicates but does not picture.
Lewis Wallace, American general law
yer and novelist, was born at Brook
vile, Ind, April TO. 1877. He was a
lieutenant in the Mexican war and a
major general in the Civil war. His
first book was THE Fair God" which

HOW TO TREAT MATTINGs.

If mattings were properly treated they
would last much longer than they really
do III ordinary households. The less wa
ter put on them the better. They should
be brushed carefully with a hair brush
and then wiped off with a damp cloth
to remove any dust which has settled.
When water is spilled on a mating it
should be wiped as dry as possible and
the windows left open that the air may
circulate and dry it entirely. If the day
is damp the moisture can be ironed out
by placing a cloth over the damp spot.
Greise or Oil can be removed with Full
ler's earth. which is made into a thin
paste with water, spread thickly over
the spot, and allowed to stand for two
or three days. When 1t is brushed off
it will be found that the stain has been
removed.

Though you deal in liquid backing,
Dismal biuing and such things,
When you have a sale to manage
Do it as the robin sings;
Put some cheer-up in your business

And, with other lines of notions,
Peddle sunshine if you can.

In this busy world of ours;
But mixed in with weeds the rankest
Outlines grow the finest flowers
Wear a posey on your lapel

And along with other samples,
Peddle sunshine of you can.
