Grange Demand. Reforms.


The National Grange at its annual
meeting held at Lansing, Mich, decided
csl the following lines of national legis-
Ation:
General rural delivery, postal saw
isgs banks, election of United States
Senator's by the people; constitutional
amendment giving Congress power to
regulate and control trusts and other
combinations; enlargement Of the pow
rs of Interstate Commerce Commits
SION; regulation of the use Of shOddy;
rure food laws; provision for the exten-
sion of markets for products equally
with manufactured articles; enactment
Of antitrust law clearly defining what
acts on the part of any corporation
would be detrimental to public well
fare; speedy construction Of the Near
aqua canal by the United States; speedy
construction Of a ship canal connecting
the Mississippi River with the great
lakes and the latter with the Atlantic
Ocean,"
Nearly all these reforms have been
brought forward by the Democrats in
Congress, and voted down by the Re
publicans. AS a majority of the farm
ers Of the United States voted for the
Republican candidates for Congress. 1t
would seem they do not agree with the
Grange on the necessity for these re-
forms, or they do not understand that
a Republican Congress will either not
consider or vote against bills providing
for their adoption.
General rural delivery is the only re-
form named that is approved by the
Republicans. and that not being party
question is favored by a majority Of
both parties. The Grangers must urge
their brother farmers to vote for the
Democratic candidates for Congress, il
they wish to have these reforms prevail

Hard Work of a Dress Model.

A models work is hardest in whole
sale house. where the various sorts of
garments are put on in order that buy
ers may see them to the best advan-
tage. Suppose that buyer is looking
for evening gowns, says a well known
model. |, to show them well, go into
a dressing room and change everything
When | reappear, my neck and arms
are bare and my petticoats and stock
ings and shoes are all in harmony with
the color of the elaborate frock l am
wearing. Perhaps you think this is
easy work. Well, l assure you it isn't
when the air is warm. the buyer in a
hurry and | am required to appear in
maybe dozen gowns in an hour.
I'VE have when we pose for stock
ings dozens of pairs of pretty shoes TO
help show the stockings off. Stocking
models are a necessity. 1t is impoS
sible for the buyer to tell accurately
the fineness of the silk and the design
of embroidery unless she sees the
stockings on. So in our retiring room
we slip into these stockings, we select
a pair of little shoes that suit them
and then we come forth and exhibit
ourselves. '-Phiadelphia Record.

Women and Men.

AS a rule. the lives of women are so
closely related to those of men that
they partake very largely of the vicis-
STUDIES of their male associates. Moth
ing can be more wretched than the life
of women in the slums under the prac-
teal domination of brutal and drunk
en- parents, husbands and sons. Talk
with persons familiar with the condi-
ton of women in the poorer neighbor
hoods of Boston, Philadelphia, New
York and Chicago, and one is almost
tempted to despair of human progress.
While we struggle to win for women
the largest possible measure of free
dom and opportunity, we should never
forget that the interests of the sexes
are so intimately connected that both
must rise or fall together. The rights
of women and the welfare of men can
not be severed. In the long run men
are what women help to make them
and women are what men permit wo
men to become.-Philadelph Ledger.

Why They Were Cheap.

President Mckinley used to tell with
a good deal of amusement a story
which related to his early days in the
law. On the way to and from his office
he was accustomed to pass butchers
shop and for a long time was puzzled
by a certain notice which he saw
there.
In the morning he would read, Good
pork sausages, 20 cents" On his re-
turn in the evening he would some
times find those sausages still 20 cents
a pound, but more often the notice
was changed, and the sign read, "Fine
pork sausages, 12"-or sometimes 10
Gents"
The matter, he said, used to worry
him. Sausages were not of so perish
able nature that they would not keep
till the next day, and he could not I'M
derstand it. So one evening he stop
ped at the shop, made some casual re-
mark and then inquired the price of
sausages.
"Ten cents" said the shopkeeper
But" replied Mr.. Mckinley, they
were 90 cents this morning"
$50 they were, Mr.. Mckinley" re-
piled the butcher, $50 they were Then
l had 'em; now haven't Sausages Mt
10 cents is simply to get me reputa-
ton for cheapness. See?"
The future president saw and was in
the habit of saying that great many
regulations were made in that way.

The Cnre of the Hair.

At night before retiring brush the
hair carefully and braid it loosely in a
number of strands. Avoid wetting the
hair too often to make it glossy, as the
wetting has a tendency to make the
hair coarse. Avoid putting the hair
up in kids at night to wave it. They
are more harmful than even the much
abused curling iron, as the hair is
twisted about the kid so tightly that
it actually wears it out, and a bald
spot is apt in time to be the result.
There is a shampoo just now much
in favor with women of fashion. 1t is
known as the perfume shampoo. 1t
consists of sprinkling the hair with or
ris powder, leaving the fragrant pow
der on long enough to collect the dust
and oil, and then giving the hair a
vigorous brushing. The orris sham
poo when thus taken is quite harmless
and leaves the hair with just sub
tie perfume about it.-Woman's Home

Poisoned to Save Expenses.

Picking hospital terribly injured by
heavy log falling upon him. The doc
tors, to save his life, cut off his lie.
The mother came. apparently to hel
to nurse the lad. The patient, howev
er, almost Immediately afterward died.
and expert examination showed that
his mother had given him arsenic. Her
reason, it is supposed, was to prevent
her son from the disgrace of reaching
the next world in manned condition.
This is very strong point with the
Chinese. who always pickle an ampu-
tated member to have it buried with
them when they eventually die. In
this instance, the family being poor
and whole leg being difficult to pickle.
the simpler course was taken of poi
soning the boy, so that he and his leg
might go together.

Airing the Bed.

How long shall we air our bed? Just
as long as possible. A good way to
air the clothes is to place two chairs
at the foot of the bed, two or three feet
away, then draw the clothes from the
bed over them smoothly. leaving the
mattresses bare. In this way the mat
tress gets aired and the clothes have
a better chance than when thrown over
chairs. The pillows are beaten up and
placed in the air, but not in the sun.
