PARTICULAR ABOUT HER APPEAR
ANCE.-"For heavens sake, tell that
new servant of yours to get new
dress before she comes here tomor
row! She is positively too sloyenly
to come into the dining ROOM"
This "heavY" was dealt out by Il
suburbanite to his wife the other
morning. She informed the negress
of the desire of the master of the
house, but that gentleman had no
idea his instructions would be so
well carried out.
When the breakfast was brought
in the following morning what was
his surprise to behold the negress
logged out in magnificent evening
dress, with sparklers in her hair and
other adornnents on her bare
arms and neck.

AS To Hat Pins.

While men are not permitted to
carry revolvers, or bowie-knives. or,
indeed, weapons of any sort, it is a
matter of surprise that women for so
long time should have been allowed
TO keep on their persons and within
conyenient reach such a deadly in
strument as the hat pin. A gentle
man sitting beside lady in theater
and seeing her withdraw the hat pin
preparatory to taking off her hat,
with difficulty suppresses a shudder.
An implement of more sinister and
alarming aspect can hardly be i'm
agined-long,thin, sharp aud muir
derous; and usually there is a large
and glittering stone at the head APP
psrently to attract masculine atten-
ton to this instrument. Many a man
has sat behind high hat AT matt
nee, seeing nothing of the perform
ance, and yet afraid to utter protest
lest he should be suddenly stabbed
to the heart with hat pin.
In these circumstances, it is com
forting TO notice that Mr.. II. Taylor
Phillips, who appears to be prudent
citizen, has introduced bill in the
New York Legislature making it
misdemeanCr for woman to wear a
bat pin more than three inches long.
Hundreds of men," SAYS Mr.. Phil
lips, care stabbed every year by in
furiated women armed with hat pins
They are a menace to life and prop
erty, and they must CO." He believes
that ornaments so dangerous should
be banished altogether: but as this
would be difficult at the beginning,
he will be content if they are dimin-
ished to a less terrifying length.
To the masculine mind it is
source Of wonder why hat pins are at
all necessary. Men certainly wear
hats of all shapes aud descriptions
without such attachments and do not
seem to have any trouble in keeping
them on. In fact, a man with big
pin in his hat, topped with a topaz or
some other glaring and bogus gem,
would look ridiculous, and would
certainly feel very uncomfortable, for
he would be ALWAYS thinking of the
possibility of having the point of the
pin run into bis skull. He would
rather put on mis- hat, and take it off
when necessary, In "A free and un-
trammeled manner, and wholly un
disturbed as to the angle il occupied
when covering his head. The worry
of mind endured by women because
OF their uncertainty as TO whether
their hats are on straight has. no
doubt, an important influence in
shortening the lives of many of the
sex. Here, We believe, however mat
tiers may be in other respects, man
shows decided superiority over the
gentler sex. He is for the most part
indifferent to the position of his hat.
pushes it from one side to another
and scorns to subject himself to the
rigid Limitations implied by the use

The LADIES BIRTHDAY ALMANAC.
The Ladies Birthday Almanac
for 900, is being distributed in our
city this week. This publication is
so different from the ordinary cheap
patent medicine almanac, that it
has become very popular, and now
has circulation of 100000 copies,
annually. Astronomer Bradford's
accurate calculations showing the
time the sun rises and sets, moons
phases, eclipses, &C., DeVoe's cele-
brated weather forecasts for every day
in the year, indicated by an unique
system of patent weather signals,
practical garden and farm hints for
each month and birthday proverbs
for every day in the year, are among
the best features. All holidays and
fixed and movable festivals are
prominently shown. In fact, the
editor of this little almanac, who we
understand is success ul newspaper
man of long experience. has given
the public book that will be found
valuable In any home. Our readers
who have not received copy of the
1900 edition, can get it of their mer-

CLARKE COURIER
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1900.
DR.. Keeley and Keeleyism

The death of DIR. Kelley, of "Kee.
ley Cure" fame, removes figure who
has been more or less conspicuous in
this country during the last twenty
years. About quarter of century
ago DIR. Kelley. who was then rep
utable physician at Dwight, a small
town in Illinois, announced that he
had discovered a cure for alcoholism.
His successful treatment and
'cure" of habitusl drunkenness in
his own neighborhood were gradually
noised abroad, and in time attracted
attention IN the large cities of the
West, particularly st. Louis and Chi
csgo. At first he only sold a remedy
which he called the Double Chloride
of Gold," but later, after the estab-
hshment of sanitarium, he adopted
prescribed treatment" which par
tculary included the periodic iujec-
ton of the magic liquid into the arms
of patients.
DIR. Kelley steadily refused to state
to scientific physicians the actual ma
ture or compenents parts of his med
icine, course which necessarily put
him under the ban of the profession.
But, in spite of this doctoral denun-
citation, the ''cure" thrived to such a
degree that sanitariums were estab-
llsbed all over the country, and the
home institution was so generously
patronized that Kelley grew compar-
atively rich in short time.
The Dwight resort was visited and
inspected by number of distinguish
ed laymen, including the Rev. Dr.
Talmage, many of whom, and the
Brooklyn preacher especially, pro
nounced the ''cure" to be one of the
most priceless bOons ever vouchsafed
to mankind. DR.. Kelley went to
Europe, where, despite the imputa-
ton of quackery under which he rest
ed, be was sumptuously entertained
by scientists and humanitarians.
In later years the "cure" has not
been heard of to any great extent,
and it seems likely that before long
it will be only matter for the PEG
pie of future generation to wonder
over. After all, what was there in it:
Certainly nothing that could have
stood the test of chemical ANALYSIS
and come out unscathed, for if such
had been the case DR.. Kelley would
probably not have shrunk from the
trial. especially after he had enriched
thereby.
There seems to be no doubt that
the Kelley cure was chiefly a delu-
sion. The drugs actually used by
DIR. Kelley were, in all probability,
already we'll known to the medical
profession. The idea was simply to
make the patient feel that he was be.
ing cured, aud moral resolution did
the rest.
But there is no question that the
"cure," though a delusion, accom-
plished good. 1t not only enabled
many confirmed drunkards to recover
from their infrmity, but it promoted
the cause of temperance by concen-
trating public attention upon the
manifold evils resulting from exces
sive drinking.
So 1T may be said of DIR. Kelley
that, though "humbug" in the eyes
of his professional brethren, he must
be regarded as having been, IN some
measure, benefactor of his race.

Senators and congressman.
Demands from all over the country
for information as to water supply and
for irrigation investigation and surveys
have been SO great that the modest APP
preparation made by last Congress to the
Geological Survey for this purpose has
been exhausted long before the end OF
the fiscal year, and such work has been
brought to a standstill. But now, in
one of its gentler moods, Congress after
considerable persuasion on the part o!
western legislators and after several at
tempts to throw it out, has made a de
f~c;ency appropriation Of $4,000 to be
Immediately available for carrying on
this work till June so, 1900.
Il am particularly gratifed,' said Nj
f. H. Newell, the photographer OF the
Geological Survey, and in..charge of If
rigation matters, " at this action of Con
gress, not SO much in allowing the ap-
preparation, though we need that badly
but in so declaring. it's temper i'll regard
to the work"
Senator Bard introduced the amend
ment and along with Senator Garter
and other western friends of irrigation
in the Senate, urged its adoption. Sen
ator Perkins, being on the committee
having the bill in charge, was in a posi-
tiCn to assist materially. In the House
Congressman Needham and Kahn work
