She is a monstrous big creature, as unrestrained in her physical growth as she is in her expression of the smallest or the largest emotion that stirs her. Two of her walking side by side fills the narrow street with broad expanse of hips, which leaves no room for anything else to squeeze past her. Her back view is as imposing, and not unlike the mighty Flemish horse in motion in front of one. Her great, broad feet are comfortably bestowed in wooden sabots that make pleasing, leisure ly chatter as she moves majestically along. Her massive chest is crossed by the knitted shawl she. always wears. The strings of her apron have never yet succeeded in reach ing clear about her waist. Her face, broad, red, lightly wrinkled, as quick to tighen with anger as to broaden with laughter, has never been shaded by hat nor schooled to conceal a thought that moves her. Her hands are huge, strong, quick. And her ngueil!-Detroit Free Press.

Her Blessingn.

When man begins to count hia blessings he can generally find plenty to be thankful for, although sometimes he may include things which might not be regarded by other people as alto- gether joyous.
 I'm thinking about the wonderful progress the sworld has made, and how much we've got to be thankful for" said Mrs. Matthews, rocking in her old stuffed chair, with pair of knitting needles in her hands and a placid smile on her face.
 1t is wonderful,' admitted her niece.
 Seems as if everything turned to good. There's lightning, now; if il hadn't been for that I shouldn't have had those fine rods put on the house and barn that makes me feel 50 safe h thunderstorm. And there's small pox; if 1t hadn't been for that we should never have known the blessings of vaccination; and if there hadn't been near-gighted folks nobody would have thought to invent magnifying glasses and specs. I declare, there's T sight of things to be thankful for!"- Youths Companion.

The United States senate has adopt

 now before that body. By this means it is believed that it will be possible to exclude that mass of undesirable i'm migrants who crowd the cities and make the most undesirable citizens. If the bill is passed, as now seems prob able. every immigrant will have to read intelligfbly not less than twenty words of the constitution in such lan- guage as he may prefer. There has been strong pressure against the meas ure brought by the railroads and cor porations who desire to command quantities of cheap labor, but it is claimed the recent coal strike and the violence which attended 1t has aided the promoters of the educational test.

Theodore Price, big, round-faced, smiling man, is again. in the midst of g bull campaign in cotton and breathing hard, writes Wall street critic. It seems to be habit of the man to bull cotton Only about three years ago he wrecked the firm of Price, MeCor- mick 6 Go trying to bull cotton to 10 cents. His firm failed for $14 ,O00, ,000 and for little while the thrilling young plunger, penniless, dropped ont of Wall streets gaze. He took desk room in the office of friend over in the Lords Court building and tried to rebuild his fortune in several different ways, finally gravitating back to cot ton. The next the public heard of him he had made an exhaustive can vass of the cotton crop and had con- cluded therefrom that cotton ought to be pulled. No Price canvass ever jus tifies any other conclusion. His fig ures were so convincing that he got some men with money to back him and they made a handsome turn on the long side of the market. With his share of the profits as fresh capital Price began to bull cotton on his own account and he has been pulling it ever since on 8 progressively larger scale. At a recent stage of his pres ent campaign he interested a lot of idle stock market spectators in cotton, and half the traders in Wall street were long of the stuff At the very top of the market the governments crop re- port came along estimating the crop much larger thas Price had estimated 1t. and the market broke 24 points, quite wiping out the stock market con tingent. Price and his brokers sold cotton on the break but Price is still 3 bull on cotton and pulling #.

NEW LACE FROCKS.7
Combination Costumes That Are at Present in High Favor with
 SRna rit Dresscrs.

For evening and dinner costumes this season crepe de chine, in com bination with oriental, Cluny or Russian laces, is in high favor. These laces for the most part aro heavy, with striking designs of flowers. fruit and foliage in relief work.
 The newest color is a deep cream, almost yellow, and tho effect of the combination with dainty shades of gray, pink and blue is soft and satis- flying. There is no end to the motifs in the use of these faces as a garniturc. They are used in wide insertions, rum ming lengthwisc of the skirt, and as entire founcings ct the foot; again in medallions and in elaborate designs applied to the entire skirt. With the heavy Russian lace wide, f1aring bor- der finishes the skirt.
 This style Is close fitting about the hips. A prevailing form Is made of lace applique or embroidery, so as to give yoke effect, the flare of the skirt beginning at the bottom of the yoke. An exaggerated flare and train mark most of the new models, says the New York Herald.
 Points of all sizes are to be used in skirt decoration These are seen in lace, as garniture, and again as a finish to the skirt itself-in some cases half yard in depth. From be- heath these points float fluffy founces of accordion plaited chiffon, frills of Chantilly and Cluny lace or of some soft net goods.
 Entire dresses of point applique are made with two deep founces effective ly finished with Bruges edging.
 More gorgeous effects are seen in embroidery with chenille and ribbon upon gowns of crepe de cline and Chantilly lace. Designs in flowers and fruits are wrought in colors, the flowers being studded with rhine stones.
 These skillful1y fashioned robes come in separate pieces, ready to be finished by the purchaser or her dress maker. They are in four pieces-the skirt, front and back of the bodice and sleeves. Tn all of the robes of this style the bodice is high necked, made. however, so that it may be worn decollete if desired. Some of the sleeves are long and rather tight fit ting, with f1aring ruffie or cuff of lace falling over the hand. Others are three quarters in length and f1aring. Point d'esprit in every color will be popular for simpler evening gowns

United States Director Roberts

United States Director Roberts of the mint, in his recommendation to con gress, presents an anomalous recon mendation. He asks congress to re- move the limit from the amount of silver to be coined and give us an un- limited coinage of silver under repub- lican administration. Tn support of his suggestion he calls attention to the fact that more silver was coined last year than was coined during the first three years of President Cleveland's administration, and that the popular demand for it Is so great that it is i'm possible to supply it under the present law limiting the amount of coinage.

We can't paint picture. or carve ] statue, or make coat, but we can wash clothes to perfection. We can dc it because we do nothing else--have done nothing else for good while-b ?. cause we have studied 1t, and thought about 1t, and worked hard as any painter ever did. It requires as much hard work, and practice, and talent, tc make good laundry as to make good picture. Everybody can't paint pic ture-everybody can't wash clothes per fectly.
