Perhaps the most striking line of the
near future in dress will be the upward
tendency from front to back. That the
corset is at the root of this will readily
be surmisod. The corset, or, rather, the
corset maker, is at the root of most
modistic matters nowadays. Dress
makers and tallors, too, are amiably
agreeing to the disposal of flOunces and
crossway folds, these tapering off In
front to fully half the depth reached
behind.

Rustop has almost doubled its pop
ulation during the past year. The
building OF the Arkansas Southern
Railway to its gates and beyond,
making a North and South line
through the great timber lands OF
Louisiana and Arkansas, gave the
first stimulus to growth and woke
the little town from its lethargY. 1t

now claim many Of the things with
cut which a city is impossible, viz
Waterworks, telephose system, Ice
plant, oil mill, steam laundry, etc.
Ruston's situation In the North
Louisiana uplands is pretty much
like Atlanta's in the Georgia hills.
without any geographical reason
that it should become a city, Atlanta
TO the surprise of the people of the
State, has grown aud grown aud will
-continus to grow. The right sort Of
people came along with the founding
of atlanta, and shat Is the secret Of
Its growth; so, we believe it will be

pie are there aud it will grow, and In

Each Dav aLife.

We hear it often said that life is
but day. It is said to express the
shortness of our stay, upon earth.
1t is said, for the most part, sorrow-
fully. Let us reverse it and say,
with more striking truth, taat each
day is life fresh with reinstated
power setting out on its allotted
labor and limited path. It's morn
ing resembles a whole youth. It's
eventide is SOLDERING into age. It is
rounded at either end by sleep
inconsistencies at the outset and
oblivion at the close. We are born
anew every time that the sun rises
and lights up the world for man to
do his part in it. One thing at
least may be shown of each day as
it dawns and darkcns-it is that
every one, short as it may be, en-
bodies the fullncss of the pass and
indicates what is long aftcrward to
come.-Exchange.

Steer VS.. Horse.

Speaking of fine horses" said a
stranger in the city yesterday, Gre
minds me of the sad incident in the
life of Capt. James Evans, of Cum
berland county. Ten years ago there
was no man living that valued a fast
horse more than Capt. Evans, but now
he would pay as much for good
strong blind mule as for Cresceus.
1t all came about this way: The CAP
tain got hold Of horse that he was
certain was the quickest traveller in
Cumberland county, and he spent all
his leisure time putting the animal in
good racing shape. He had visions of
unlimited first prizes at county fairs:
aud there 8 no doubt about the fact that
the horse was hummer. One day
Capt. Evans hitohed him Co his light
dog cart started to town. Just as he
drove out OF his gate, he met a farmer
that he knew, who was driving big
tall white steer to an old frayed out
top buggy. The captain said it was
the most remarkable ox that he had
ever seen and had the longest legs he
had ever seen on any cattle kind. The
captain and the farmer drove side by
side for about mile, talking of one
thing and another, and just as the
captain was about to touch up his
horse and hurry on the farmer said:
Well, captain, this is mighty
pleasant, but reckon I must get on
to town.
'Gee Buck!"
with that the tall steer reached
out his long legs and began to hit the
grit at great pace.
1.-The captain was 80 amazed that
for q minute he sat in his cart and
watched that bloomin' OK trot. Then
he got mad, reaching for his whip,
chuckled and said:
sc lang, Katy Flyer!'
And Katy Flyer did all she knew
how
'You may not believe it, but the
captain said he never was able to
catch that white steer, though he
raced him. for. nearly seven miles.
Sometimes the farmer would let him
come pretty close and then he would
take another grip on his plow lines,
yelp Gee Buck, and the way that
old be.cow would buckle down to the
earth and amble up and down these
hills was caution. Finally the cap
tain realized that it was useless to
race any further, pulled in his blood
ed horse and watched the trottir'
steer, with his tail stretched straight
ont behind, disappear from view.
Since this experience Capt. Evans
has had no use for race horses. -

and ell the skurrying back and forth
and shrill calls in French for portions
OF many dishes seem confusing only

citation of the wonderful system Of the

meat and raw foods are prepared and
d1esSed in readiness for the range.
Each cook attends only to the pre-
paration of his own dishes, aud as for
:hs chef, he seldom cooks at ali. He
has an Office of his own, where he
keeps mis- memoranda, his books aud
his special menus, and the secrets of
his business. During the rush hours
his place is in the centre of the
kitchen, directing, Watching, and,
when necessary, admonishing. If
several big banquets are in progress,

and to check off each one on the bull
letin board at the time it is sent.
When he goes off duty one of his s.
sistants takes his place. Besides the
cooks there are dozen men and wo-
men who do nothing but peel potatoes,
others who make toast, and still
others who attend to the big dish
washing machines. The butcher and
his assistants have charge of the sup
plies of meats, some Of which-for
instance, beef-are kept in the big re-
frigerators, where the temperature
never varies degree for three months
before serving. In strong contrast
with the dishes they have been pre-
pairing is the comparatively simnle
dinner of the cooks themselves. As
they sit at the long table in their
white aprons and caps before each one

the only employees to whom the hotel

There the proud man surrenders his

the wording his pleasures; the inva.

at last, is NATURES final decree in
equity. The wrongs of time are re-

irony of fate is refuted, the unequal
distribution OF wealth, honor, capa-
city, pleasure and opportunity, which
makes life 80 cruel and inexplicable a
