For Children.

Fashion is as dictatorial in the realm
of the children's wardrobe as in that
of women. She demands that little
girls be to great extent miniature
copies of their mammas in attire. and
not only mature styles, but rich ma
terials are employed. Bias and clrcu-
lar skirts, long. straight sacks with lit
tie directoire capes and collars. fur.
cloth. silk and velvet are as much for
little as for big girls.

WE ARE SHORT ON POETS.

Where 1900 began rich 1900 starts
poor Then the supply Of poets was at
its maximum; now il is apparently at
it's minimum So much for 100 years.
Look at the list of bards who sang in
1900. There was William @vowper, who
wrote his last lines then. for he died in
April of that year, while Walter Scott,
20 years old, was beginning to startle
the world with his genius; Thomas
Moore was just of age and was writ
ing clever verses, and William Words
word, Coleridge, Southey and Campbell
We're in their prime.
AS we follow down the list we begin
to have hopes for the years beginning
with 10, for most of the brightest
poets of the century were children in
1907 Such children may be living to-
day Thomas Hood was then 2 years
old, John Keats was 4, Felicia Hemans
and William Cullen Bryant were each
8, and Shelley was s years old and
making rhymes. Leigh Hunt and Sher-
idan Knowles, each 1G years old, were
writing poems, and Byron, at -, was
reciting impromptu verses at Harrow.
Young people are writing poems and
reciting verses today, and who shall
say that they may not supply the
places of the needed poets?
Then history gives us another hope
for supply of poets to fill the present
depleted ranks. The next dozen years
may do for the nineteens what the first
dozen years of the eighteens did for
them.-New York Herald

Ornaments In millinery TRIMMING.

Black spangles and jet are intro
duced into some of the hats. A new
ornament has appeared that is made of
jet as well as simili. 1t consists of a
spring, curved more or less backward,
set with cut jet or Rhine pebbles, taper
ing toward its point and intended to be
fixed underneath torsade, which it
embraces, or at the foot of an ostrich
plume, where it lies on the quill A
very elegant black hat in mousseline
bouillonne has two long ostrich plumes
sweeping back over it, their stems fix
ed against the upturned brim by two
of these ornaments set with white
stones. A jet ornament of this descrip-
ton serves to clasp the draped border
of a toque in faded rose petal pink
crinoline trimmed at the side with a
group of bordeaux tinted roses.-Milli-

"Oeac0nfnx Apples FOR EXpOFIs
The "deaconing'' of apples has been
a standard joke in this country for
more than one generation, but it seems
the practice is still kept up, especially
in fruit shipped abroad. The manag

pany told the New York horticulturists
at their recent meeting that while
American apples have finer flavor
than the Tasmanian fruit the latter
bring three times their price on the
English docks simply because they are
better packed and the label on the
box is an absolute guarantee that they
are standard therein described" where

to whether it is better for a man to be
a knave or a fool. but the farmer who

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great change
few years of married life will make
in the appearance and disposition of
many women. The freshness, the
charm, the brilliance vanish like the
bloom from a peach which is rudely
handled. The matron is only a dim
shadow. faint echo of the charming
maiden. There are two reasons for
this change-ignorance and neglect.
Few. young women appreciate the
shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage.
Many neglect to deal with the un-
pleasant drains which are often conse-
quent on marriage aud motherhood,
not understanding that this secret
drain is robbing the cheek of it fresh
ness and the form of its fairness. AS
surely as the general health suffers
when there is arrangement of the
health of the delicate womanly organs.
so surely when these organs are estab.
lished in health the face and form at
once witness to the fact in renewed
comeliness. Half million women
and more have found health and hap
plness in the use of DIR. Pierce's Favor
lite Prescription. 1t makes weak
women strong and sick women well.

Gree Silver Less Serious Than
Free Slaughter"

In Boston, Mass, at noon on
August 18th, about four hundred
market men and others opposed
to the re election of President
Mckinley because of the Philip
pine policy of the administration,
held a rally in Faneuil Hall.
On the platform were George s.
Boutwell,, former Governor of
Massachusetts; Gamiliel Brad
ford, Erwin Winslow and other
we'll known anti-imperialists.
The principal address was made
by ex- Governor Boutwell,, who
justified the action Of those who
had withdrawn from the Republi-
can party on account of its atti-
tude on the question of imperial
ism by the statement that the
Republican party itself was born
of deserters from the parties then
existing.
Mr.. Boutwell, advocated the
overthrow of the Republican
party, giving as the main reason
words attributed to United States
Senator George f. Hoar, that the
administration is attempting to
govern 100000 in the East,
and nearly another million in the
West Indies without any cOnsti.
tutiOnal restraint.
Ringing resolutions were adopt
ed, the striking phrase of which
follows:
1--WE believe that free silver
is less serious than free
slaughter; we deprecate the APP
peal to the pocket at home and
to the canteen abroad; the doc
trine that Americans may be
made rich by taxation and Fill
ipinOs righteous by force, and
the practice of assimilation of
lower races in Asia and the mall
evOlent dissipation of higher
ideas in America"

How do the Republicans like the
"shoe on the other foot?" In 1896 they
were gloatiug over the recruits they
gained from our ranks and now they
view the condition in their own party
with evident alarm. There are thous-
ands of men like Wellington who will
not swallow the "dose of medicine"
administered by their party and who
have boldly come out for Bryan. We

night to secure his election, be.
