Ours Not the Only World.


Backed up by the teachings OF your
Bible, just look through the telescope
some bright night and see how many
worlds there are and reflect that all
you have seen. compared with the
number of worlds In existence. are less
than the fingers of your right hand as
compared with all the fingers of the
human race How foolish, then. for us
to think that ours is the only world
fit for us to stay in. think that all
the stars are inhabited and by beings
like the human race In feelings and
sentiments, and the differences in
lung respiration and heart beat and
physical conformation. their physical
conformation fit for the climate Of
their world and our physical confor-
nation fit for the climate of our
world. So We shall feel at home In
any of the stellar neighborhoods. our
physical limitations having ceased.
One of our first realizations in get
ting out of this world. think. will be
that In this world we were very much
pent up and had cramped apartments
and were kept on the limits. The most
even of our small world, is water, and
the water says to the human race.
Don't come here or you will drown"
A few thousand feet up the atmos-
phere is uninhabitable. and the atmos-
phere says to the human race, Don't
come up here or you cannot breathe"

Only Half Liberated

The unfortunate thing now is that so
many Christians are only half liber-
ated. They have been raised from the
death and burial of sin into spiritual
life, but they yet have the graveclothes

EnrIy DAYS In Colorado.

At a meeting of the Denver Woman's
Press club Mrs. w. P. G. Hayward told
of "Social Life In the EARLY Days OF
Colorado" She recalled the ball for
Duke Alexis, the receptions at the resi-
dence of Governor Hunt. surrounded by
its spacious grounds that now form Lin
coin park. and the stately functions given
for distinguished guests in the homes OF
Governor and Mrs. Evans and Governor
and Mrs. McCook. She paid the highest
compliment to Mrs. McCook, the wife OF
one of the territorial governors. Mrs. Nc
Cook" said she, made every one want
to reach up toward the higher atmos-
phere which she seemed to have at
tained." She was warm suffragist, and
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was her
guest and recipient of many social atten-
tions. Later, the petition to have equal
suffrage embodied in the state constitu-
tion was signed by many who never
changed the stand then taken, but were
warm helpers in the campaign of 1893.

"a PRETTY SET TRULY"
from the Daily Republican.

From the Daily Republican.
1t is amusing to read the homiies in
the Every Evening and other Demo-
cratic newspapers in regard to a union
of the Democratic members of the Leg
islature with certain Republicans in or
der to prevent the election of ]. Edward
Addicks to the United States Senate, and
thus preserve the honor of the State
Little, if anything was said against the
election Of Senator Kenney when he was
elected few years ago, after being
among the foremost men to prevent a
proper count of the votes in Kent county
thus giving the Democrats a majority
in the Legislature, nor would there have
been anything said at tins time if that
party had elected majority of the mem
bers, about the necessity of preserving
the honor of the State. A pretty set
tpuly to talk of honor. The State having
borne the stain resulting from the cleo
ton of Kenney, we think it might stand
anything and manage to continue to ex-
ist. Their conduct reminds us forcibly
Of the old adage: "When the devil is
sick Monk he woulu be, but when he
got we'll the devil a Monk is hep We
advise them to save their lamentations
in regard to the honor of the State and
act like men instead of pack OF idiots,
lest the citizens generally should conclude
: that they are like white sepulchres, fair
without while within they are full of cor
ruption.

Where Women Vote.

The following notice was posted near a
voting place in state where women
have been granted the right to f7oS, or

The Hoarding Instinct.

The boarding trait is most unaccount-
able one and is found where you would
least expect it. A woman whose husband
is a successful business man with a
large income never parts with the dis
carded articles of her wardrobe until
lack of storage room compels. In those
storage rooms you will find gowns of the
style of ten years ago-utterly worthless
for wear now and of little value so far
as material is concerned-says the Pitts
burg Dispatch. The woman, too, is
charitable in way and often sends
provisions and the like to her church mis-
sion for the aid of the poor-but discard
ed clothing never. Here is simply the
boarding instinct breaking out in non
profitable way. 1t is pretty good bet
that if you would ask any woman of
your acquaintance you would find that she
has a habit of boarding something's
nothing more than cent pieces when
they come her way.

Care of the Hair.

To women who wash their own hair
the word is given by highly trained
pharmacist that there is nothing which
can be applied to the hair or scalp that
will be of the slightest benefit except
cleansing agents like soap and water,
extreme care to be taken that the soap
is carefully washed out. Dandruff should
not appear when the scalp is kept per-
fectly clean. The same authority says
further that the rubbing in by profession
al hairdressers of this and that mixture
is not only foolish and useless process,
but may be at times positive danger
Gus one in case the attendant is not over
nice in hands and nails. Perfect bodily
cleanliness and good health are the best
developers Of fine aud well kept head

Cutting the mills.

There is an old formula for pairing the
nails that runs as follows:
Cut them on Monday, cut them for health.
Cut them Tuesday, cut them for wealth.
Cut them on Wednesday, cut for a letter.
Cut them on Thursday, for something better.
Cut them on Friday, you cut for wife.
Cut them on Saturday, cut for long life.
Cut them Sunday, you cut them for evil,
For all Of that week you'll be ruled by the devil.
Believe the adage or not, as you will,
but on whichever day you cut your nails
let them at least be cut in the right way.
They should each be pared off in one
long slice, if possible, not in "chips."
Special, curved scissors are sold which
enable us to cut our nails in long strips
quite easily. Before the nails are cut
they should be soaked in hot water until
they are soft and pliable. In this mood
they can be cut and trimmed to better
advantage than when they are hard.

to be said on each side of the case, and
the final decision will be on grounds of
expediency rather than those of pre-
cedent or abstract right.
1j eShe general tendency has hitherto been

HAIR INSOLES.

SWEATY FEET-Perspiration is a
necessary waste which benefits the
system by expelling poison, but it
soils and makes an irritatant of any,
thing worn on the body. If HAIR
INSOLES are worn through the day,
moisture from the feet will drain
through the top or hair part leaving it
dry and at night will be found at the
bottom of the sole which will be wet.
Hair will not hold moisture, but cloth
and leather will. Shoes soiled by per-
spiration irritate the feet and cause
troubles. Perspiration is most con-
stant in the feet because the pores
are larger and more capable of absorp-
ton and relief is had at once by wear
ing HAIR INSOLES. RHEUMATICS
INVALIDS, and others will obtain
great help from these INSOLES which
ease and harden the feet by keeping
them dry and preventing irritation.

COLUMBUS ALRxANDER's WILL.
The Contest Over It Finally Settled
Out of Court.

The contest over the will and estate OF
Columbus Alexander, deceased, which at
different stages has occupied the attention
of several OF our local courts, and is said
to involve about 81 0oG, 600, has been finally
settled out of court by agreement between
the parties Counsel for those in interest
appeared in Criminal Court No. 2. sitting
as Circuit Court, and, according to the ar
rangement previously made. took verdicts
in favor OF the will and against the eject
ment suits. At the time of his death, III
February, 1895, Columbus Alexander was
one of the wailthiest and Oldest residents
OF the city, and had gained much promi-
nence during the time of the Board Of Pub
lie Works. Shortly after the death of Mr.
Alexander his will. a voluminous docu-
ment by which the estate was left largely
in trust. was filed in the Probate Court.
Notwithstanding a clause purporting to
disinherit any child who might bring a
contest, Maurice B. Alexander. a grandson,
through his attorneys. Lambert & Lam
bert. J. NJ Wilson, and A. s. Worthington
fled a caveat protesting against the valid
ity of the instrument upon the grounds of
mental incapacity and undue influence. At
the same time counsel for the cayeator
also fled ejectment suits regarding the
real property and a bill in equity for re-
ceiver to care for the rents and profits. II
Is said that by the compromise Maurice b.
Alexander will receive the devise to him at
the time specified by the will and will be
paid a sum now in cash fer the withdrawal
of his opposition.
