pleating appeared on bodice and skirt, respectively. All-over embroidery was unlined in sleeves and yoke and the belt was white satin.
 The general outlines of this coiffure is one that women whose hair is not plen- tiful may attempt. Push the thin hair well on top of the head, and fasten it with a patent clasp or with a tie of rib bon. Then bag back and side locks enough to give the head becoming out line, and divide the long hair into as many locks as possible, Each lock is twisted lightly and rolled into a puff, each puff being bestowed just where it will be most effective. It is remarka ble how far mere whisp of hair will go with this method especially when the ends of the ribbon are looped to help fill up.
 Another pretty coiffure that is easily managed divides the hair into three locks, one at each side and one at the top of the head. The side locks are spread about the ears, the front lock is curved down across the forehead from the parting at one side, and then drawn back to roll lightly on top where the ends of the side locks join It. All styles of hair dressing demand that the hair be left loose and easy. You must not wear side combs, pins or fasteners if you can get along without. Back combs are permitted, but they should be old fashioned and look like heir looms. FLORETTE.

PROGRESS IN PENNSyLT4NIa

After the Pennsylvania legislature had adopted constitutional amend ments providing for the use of voting machines, and for the personal regis tration of voters in large cities Cover nor Stone took the position that he was authorized to prevent the submis- sion of the amendments to the people, and the Secretary or State refused to advertise them as required by law
 The Municipal League of Philadelphia then obtained a mandamus compelling the Secretary of State to comply with the law, and the Supreme court has now sustained the mandamus. The court says concerning the Secretary of State: He has no discretion in the premises His action does not depend on any other action whatever. It is his own, personal, individual and off, cial duty, imperative in its character, and of the very highest and gravest obligation, because it is imposed by the Constitution itself, and he can only discharge that duty by literally per forming it's terms. He cannot excuse himself for n-performance by setting up advice opinion or action of any other person, organization or depart ment, official or otherwise, for the sim pie reason that the article of the Con stitution which prescribes his duty does not allow it. There is no oppor- tunty for any, even the least, interven- tion between the entry of the amend ment on the journals and the publica- tion in the newspapers in the whole course of the proceeding for the crea- ton of the amendment" And concern

COLONEL PETIT.

Nobody in this region, where Colonel has been either injudicious or cowardly, and there is a general belief here that he has been quite as likely to know and do his duty well as the political favorite who has made and spread the charges against him. The facts that have come to light strongly support the confidence of those who have refused to believe that a well-trained efficient and ap- proved soldier like Colonel Petit has suddenly and surprisingly changed into something else. Under the treaty with the Sulus Colonel Petit was ordered to avoid quarrels as much as he could He obeyed orders, and he avoided quar- res, In avoiding them he showed good judgment as well as strict obedience. The story on which the charge of cow ardice is made to rest strikes us as an extremely feeble foundation for such a charge. It appears that the colonel heard that man was to be executed TOT some petty offense in one of the Sulu towns. The treaty does not change local laws, but the colonel was under or ders to use whatever power he could to prevent these executions. Taking small body of men, he went to the vil- lage for a barley He was told that, if he and his men would enter the village unarmed a conference would be held. Immediately dlsarming his men, ne went to meet the civil officials and af- ter a long argument persuaded them to surrender the prisoner to him fqr S2o. Instead of cowardice this seems to show cool confidence. It also indicates calm judgment and a good understand ing of the problem up for solution.
 Doubtless Colonel Petit will soon be clear of the curious charges that have been made against him. On the facts as presented he ought to be com- mended instead of condemned.

Uses a Bean Shooter on the Sly After
 Office Hours
 The oldest instance of mind un- balanced by high mental pressure and nerve distraction was related to me by friend some time since. The victim was a bank president, who had worked on noisy street in Boston for perhaps 40 years. Observe, now. what curious form his mania took:-
 One hot summer day my friend was sitting in his room, with closed blinds, when, happening to glance out between the slats, he saw the blind in an upper room of the bankers house, opposite pushed cautiously open and then beheld the bankers gray head emerge. The man of millions looked cautiously up and down the street, scanning especial ly the windows of the houses opposite, to see if any one might be looking. Sat- isfied that there were no observers, he drew back his head, partly closed the blind, and thust through the crack that was left one of those long tin tubes that bows call "bean-shooters. My friend saw him cautiously aim this tube at a pedestrian who happened to be pass Ing on the plllGT Slte ol thV oAitNti diNi deliberately blow mouthful of peas or beans at him. Then he lodged back and drew the blinds silently together The pedestrian, who had evidently been hit, glanced up, but seeing nothing sus- picious, continued on his way. Present. ly the blind was set ajar again, and voley of peas was discharged at cab horse just turning the corner The horse jumped and ran for half block, and cabby, of course, had his hands full to look around for the miscrant who had frightened his steed. "Well, surely" thought my friend "this caps the climax of the mans foolishness and impertin- ence" But no. A genteel and we'll dressed lady just came up the street, and the concealed marksman slyly pushed open his blind and fired at her!
 My friend watched the same window carefully for two or three weeks, and discovered that nearly every afternoon, after business hours, this dignifled bank president went up to the top of his house and amused himself by firing peas at his fellow-citizens. Do you believe that he did it of malice prepense in his right mind? Of course not lie was a Vlc- tim of the wear and tear of city life, and this childish mischievous pastime was the reaction.-The Brown Chair in Zions Herald

A n,.mortni Day Thought.

 Pinies an tangled roses-a-drlppin' sweet with dew We strew an heap above the sleep O the boys in gray an blue, <, The Lord makes no distinction in the graves there on the hill An that's our way, Memorial day, down here in BoWersville. Blue an the gray together, dreamn' the last long dream. The peace O God smiles OCT the sod where the snow white lilies gleam. We've long ago forgotten what they were fightin for- They've dreamed away to glorious day, in land where there's no war, PMies an tangled roses--we scatter them all aroun- With tulips red, above the dead who He ln each sunken noun. The Stars an Stripes these followed-these fought for the Stars an Bars, But they rest to-day in q land away-all blessed by the peaceful stars. The gray has long since faded-faded just like the blue Each has a part in the home-folks' heart, an the heart O the nation, too. Blue an the gray together, under me home blooms fair, An the home-folks' love is rich above, In the flowers clustered there. Pinies an tangled roses-nothin' but blooms O home Across the graves, in blossom waves, they smile at the sky's blue dome. Blue an the gray together-an' home blooms on the hill-- It's the houe-folks' way, Memorial day, down here in Bowersville.

RUSSIAN rnrENDs OF THE norns

RUSSI4N FRIENDS OF THE BOERS. The Boers haven't found the sym pathy they expected to find in this and in some other countries, but there has been much sympathy with them in Russia. A correspondent of the Lon
 don Standard, writing from Moscow, says that it is not confined to the read ing public, Even the illiterate mujik victories of the Boers. At the peoples fairs, where the penny gaffs, round- ter class of theater are to be found, the favorite theme for stage presentation has been the South African war, in which the British were made ridiculous, and the Boers figured like the heroes of old Russian romance. More than once there were threatening scenes during these representations when 1t appeared likely that the British forces would be allowed to gain slight advantage. The enraged ,mujiks were only prevented from storming the stage by the hurried appearance of the Boer flag and the playing of the national hymn. The Boers are represented to the mujik as being of the Orthodox faith, which is enough to secure his sympathies. Among the superior class the newspapers are responsible for the anti-British feeling. These have been persistent in their pub lication of reports of British disasters, and of cartoons holding up all things British to hatred and ridicule. In all this the newspapers have been allowed perfect freedom, although the official at- titude of the Russian government has always been exceedingly correct.

The railroad companies are perhaps not as good as they might be, and the Railway Age prints facts which show that some of the customers of the rail- roads are not perfect. During the year 1899 the inspectors of the trunk lines discovered 238000 instances in which shippers misdirected goods actually shipped so as to get lower rates on them. This was in the westbound business from only three cities-Boston, New York and Philadelphia. As many as 19,00O similar instances of fraudulent billing were detected among shipments from the western ternini of the trunk lines. The mercantile bodies are urg- ing upon the Interstate Commerce com mission and upon congress the need of amendments to the railroad law to check alleged misdeeds of the railroads, but the figures here given show, the Age thinks, that amendments protect ing the railroads against the shippers are likewise needed.

Accumulated files of newspapers have encroached largely upon the space at the disposal of the authorities of the British museum. The shelves occupied by London newspapers alone exceed 1000 yards in length, while those devot- ed to the provincial, colonial and for eign measure more than 5000 yards, the total being close upon three miles. In a single year the British newspapers have been known to fill i'll yards of shelving, which is at che rate of one mile in sixteen years. Of course such a progress cannot be prolonged indefi- nitely. A bill is now before parliament, which will authorize the trustees to de- posit with local authorities any local newspapers which have been received by them at Bloomsbury since the year 1887, or which may be hereafter receiv- ed, and also to make rules respecting the disposal by destruction or otherwise of printed matter deposited in the museum which is not of sufficient value to justi- fly its preservation.

The excavations were made and the obelisk recovered.
