FRESH FEMININE FINERY.
eCme OF the Very Newest Ideas in
Dress for the Current
Season.

A charming tea gown is carried out
in pale turquoise accordion-plaited
blue crepe de chine, the upper part
edged with deep founce of Alencon
lace, as also the upper flounce to the
skirt, the lace yoke finished off with a
lace bertha. The sleeves are loose and
lowing, reports the Brooklyn Eagle.
Quite the newest notions of the DO
ment are white ivory combs treated
with gold ornamentation, and they are
TO be had suited to high and low hair
dressing. Some of these have paste
tops, tortoise shell side combs, and
others are gemmed, some displaying
small green forets and leaves standing
out from a groundwork of pearl and
green enamel, savoring of the art nou-
veau and the empire; in fact, combin-
ing the best ideas in both. Many are
prettily ornamented with paste and
pearls.
A hat, composed of Killed satin straw,
had the crown entirely covered with
closely set lilies of the valley, tied with
cerise velvet at the side. Falling on
the hair were clusters of black and
green cherries, with foliage.
A French shape in the new cerise
red straw was lined with black, in con-
trast to the trimmings of shaded glace
red ribbon, raised at each side Of the
crown in the new lozenge shaped puffs,
just the hat to wear in stormy
weather, for although it was smart
looking there was nothing to spoil in
it or get out of order.
Wine colored straw composes a mo-
dish hat, the crown encircled with the
same tint of tulle, the new tulip TO-
settles on each side shading from dark
to pink, with tones of mauve matching
the fuchsias and foliage at the back.
A graceful evening wrap is of pale
blue killed crepe de chine; the ma
terial, in plain color, fits the shoulders
well whence the killed material flows
as a sacque. 1t is lined throughout
with the same tone of killed chiffon
interthreaded with three rows of black
bebe ribbon. There is square lace
collar, and wide sleeves, so that it can
very easily be slipped on and off.
Irish lace continues on its course
of popularity, and deep cape collars
to the waist made of this will be worn
in the summer, and help to carry out
that idea of sloping shoulders which
is so dear to the hearts of the author
tiles.
A beautiful evening dress is Of white
mousseline, with an application Of
white velvet flowers outlined with jet
and steel beads, large ringed paillettes
of black velvet being sewn over the
skirt and on the lappets of white silk
on the bodice, while the frills are of
white lace and the waistband is of pale
green satin.

Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
THE GREAT rIEDICINE.
THE GREAT rIEDICINE.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound,
Am Now in the Best OF Health"

The greatest Of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward L. Phelps, NJ. D., Ii. D., after years
Of long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding his incompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from a gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, OF
O'Connor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
ietter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
Of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
Mr.. Brown says
81 acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. l had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. was also treated by several Of
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one. of them, at least, would understand
my case.

incurable. was indeed in a critical condi-
ton. could not 60 from the house alone,

weak, restless, tired, and respondent; was
obliged to walk about with my hands pressed
firmly into my left side to ease my pains; my
feet and hands were cold continually; had
inclination to vomit, had profusc, cold sweats,
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at a time.
"After the regular use of Paine's Celery
Compound for 4 time, am now in the best of
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind Of food. Thank God | am my old self
once more, all through the use Of Paine's

Cats Love of Fish.

One of the strange things in nature
is the fondness of the cat for fish and
its fear of water. There is no animal,
not even those which prey upon fish and
are adapted by nature to catching
them. like the otter and muskrat, which
ia fonder of fish than the ordinary cat,
There is no animal which dislikes the
water more State Press has seen a
cat which loafed around live box,
where minnows were kept, and which
would watch the surface of the water
as closely as if watching mousehole,
and if minnow came to the top il
would be quickly slapped out Of the
water by the paw without even wetting
the latter. This is not a fish or cat
story, either-Galveston News.

A REMARKABLE CASE
And One That Should Arouse Chari-
 table Interest.

About a week ago this paper publish ed the details Of a terrible case Of burning, announcing that the victim. Miss Trinidad BalieSterOs. could not possibly recover, in the opinion of her physician. But she is still alive and doing better than anybody at the time of the accident could reasonably hope for Her physician still maintains that should she recover it will be a case re rnarkable in the records of such terri ble incidents, and the experience Of medical men warrants the statement that everything is against her in the way of precedent. Still, she is doing well and her wounds are healing more rapidly than burns usually do, though she has had a very high fever for the last three days. Until recently she has suffered but very little pain, though the process has begun that creates pain she can hardly be relieved of.
 The accident, as will be remembered, occurred by her apron taking fire at a stove, and nearly ali her clothing was burned off. Both her lower limbs were burned severely between the ankle and knee From a point little above the knee clear to the neck. almost the en- tire surface is burned except a-little area between the shoulderblades. Her face was not burned, but her arms and hands were both burned, in places very badly. The burning was less severe on her lower limbs and there is hope that the hurt is not deep enough there tC destroy the inner skin. The wors; burning was on the breast and abdo- men, where the flssh was literally cook ed, hard and dry. Yet withal, her symptoms and condition thus far have been of the most hopeful nature foI her recovery. The fear is that she vii

 These particulars are interesting to krow as illustrating under what ter rible conditions the little sufferer is battling for life, but the purpose oi this article is to call the attentior of some of the ladies societies, or other chari table organizations. to the distressing circumstances in which the afflicted family is situated, for they are prac- ticaIiy without funds or resources. They reside on Cleveland street almost due south of the east end school house. The father of the girl is dead, and her mother, who left for Mexico only q day or two before the accident and who was informed as soon as possible, could not get home again till Saturday 1.,e only other member of the family is an older sister, who was it's main support, she being employed at the Sis ters' hospital. Since the accident she has of course been more than busy in nursing her suffering sister.
 The wants of the family are presum- ably such that not only money and the substantials of life would materially aid them, but quite likely the kindly attention of those capable of minister ing to the suffering would also be ac- ceptable. This statement, however, is made on information furnished by those knowing the conditions and rot through the solicitation of the family but it is certainly d worthy case for
 those seeking an opportunity to dc good.

ABOUT RURAL SCHOOLS.

In the issue of the Outlook Of December
n Clarence II. Matson of Topeka has an
article on the country school which. in
view of the discussion among the farmers
OF Michigan relative to the consolidat ton
OF school districts, is of considerable in
terest, says the Grand Rapids Press
From Mr.. Matsons article it appears
that eighteen states have adopted the
PLAN among them being New York. New
Jersey, Pennsylvania. Ohio. Indiana, Wis
consin, Iowa Nebraska, Kansas. the two
Dakotas and Florida. The plan therefore.
has now been tested under widely VARYING
conditions, and some idea can be formed
as to its workings. In New York and
Pennsylvania the country Is thicl1lv set
tied. and the districts being comparatively
small. the plan can be rather more easily
carried out than in the western states
where the country is thinly populated Yet
1t seems to work well in the western states
in fact. in many respects it works in
the thinly populated states rather more
satisfactorily than in the others In Iowa.
for instance. out of 1900 schools under the
old system 5000 had an average attend
ance of less than twenty pupils and in
$500 it was less than ten Manifestlv a
district which possessed less than twenty
children could afford to pay only the low
est of wages. could not buy valuable appa-
ratus and the education impaired could be
only of the most rudimentary kind The
consolidation of these districts has effected
a great change, and the results are in all
cases extremely satisfactory.
The gain on the educational side is
marked and obvious. When several dis
tricts unite the attendance is 80 much
larger that more than one teacher is re-
quired and this enables the board to grade
the school and extend the curriculum. In
fact in many instances high schools have
been established equal in all essential par
tculars to those in the cities.
The statistics Of expense are not as com
plete as is desirable in order to Judge Of
the advisabfity of adopting the plan in
Michigan, but so far as they go seem to
make an excellent showing in favor Of the
system. The use of only one school house
for large extent of territory makes it
necessary to provide transportation for
many Of the pupils, and in most instances
covered wagons make regular trips night
end morning over prescribed routes, and
this is no inconsiderable item of expense.
in Kansas, however, 1t has been found
that the economies of consolidation largely
cover the cost of extension of the school
course and in the majority of the consoh-
dated districts the cost is about S1S a year
yer pupil Even where, as in the pioneer
Lorraine school. the apparent increase in
cost is al much as one-third. the attend
ance has increased SO much that there is
an actual saving in cost per capita on
average daily attendance.
On the whole the impression one OBJ
tains from Mr.. Matson's article is decided
ly favorable to the new plan. and the
farmers of Michigan Viii run very little
risk in adopting it,

DEMOCRATS MARKED.
Colorado Republicans Have Sc
lected Seven for Sacrifice.

Denver. Colo, Jan. 19.-Four of the
FIVE Republican members of the house
committee on elections reported today
in favor of unseating the four Float
representatives from Arapahoe county
and one other Arapahoe member, all
Democrats. The five had majorities on
the face of the returns ranging from
$500 to 1000 but the Republicans claim
that these were fraudulently obtained.
One Republican member of the COM
mittee favored unseating all of the 10
Arapahoe representatives. The Demo-
cratic members of the committee pre-
scented a minority report against un-
seating any members, claiming that
500 would be a liberal allowance for
the fraudulent votes cast in this city.
Ii is the Intention of the Republican
members of the committee to recon-
mend also unseating two Los Animas
county Democrats. Should seven Dem
ocrats be replaced by Republicans as
proposed the present Democratic ma
iority of 10 in the legislature would be
converted into a Republican majority
of four, but in that case the senate
threatens to restore the Democratic
majority by unseating Republicans.

CIGARETTE HABIT CURED.
Mother Gave Her Boy q Cigar and He

The other day wise New England
mother suddenly came upon her son
and heir a youth of tender years. and
discovered he was indulging in a ci-
garette.

smoke, why not be manly and smoke a

him into the house and bestoyed upon
him a large black fumer, and brought
him a light, and sat down by him
while he enjoyed the fragrant weed
She was with him, too when his low

to grow yellow, and a wave of chalky
Wilderness overspread his face.
Nice cigar, isn't it2' she said, in
her pleasant way so soothing and
restful and enjoyable. Don't you find
it sop
The boy couldn't steady his voice
sufficiently to reply, but he forced him
self to take another puff, and when his
hand with the cigar in it dropped he
gave the smouldering thing a glance
that expressed nothing but the deepest
loathing.
I always liked the looks of those
nice, large. fat cigars said his mother.
