DAINTY PERFUMES.

The perfume of cleanliness is of all
the purest. Yet the pleasant frag-
rance OF many flowers may be made a
delicious adjunct to the toilet of the
woman beautiful, by a little trouble
and patience. A refined woman is in
stinctively fastidious about all the
personal belongings. Always abont
her fingers the delicate odor of abso.

The fool Rooster.

I've heard a good deal in my time
about the foolishness of hens, but
when it comes to right down foolish.
ness give me a rooster every time.
He's always strutting and stretching
and Growing and Dragging about things
with which he had nothing to do.
When the sun rises, you'd think that
he was making all the light instead OF
all the noise. When the farmers wife
throws the scraps in the henyard, he
crows as if he was the provider for the
whole farmyard and was asking a
blessing ON the food. When he meets
another rooster, he crows and when
the other rooster licks him he crows.
And 80 he keeps it up straight during
the day. He even wakes up during
the night and crows little on general
principles. But when you hear from
hen, she's laid an egg, and she don't
make great deal OF noise about it,
either.

BRYAN Not Desc rtins Silver.

The last issue of the Comn,oner con-
tains the following specific denial OF the
Republican claim that Bryan had re-
pudiated the silver issue: w. J. Bry-
an denies that he ever had made the
statement about free silver attributed
to him BY Prof. Bradshaw OF Iowa
City, Ia. Mr.. Bryan said he had been
misquoted, that he had not said to any
one that silver would not be an issue
in the next campaign. The nearest
approach, he declares, he ever made to
such statement is what he often has
said-namely; that silver was not the
paramount issue in 1900, and is not
now, but that some phase of the money
question always is before the country.
Also he holds that no one is in a posi-
ton to say when the silver question
may become acute again.

Philadelphia Ledger.


Probably the most remarkable lake
in the world is one with Q coating OF
salt that completely conceals the wa
ter. It may be seen at any time dur
ing the year, fully exposed, being seen
at its best where the sun is shining di-
rectly upon it. This wonderful body
of water is one of the safest OF the salt
lakes. and is situated near Obdorsk,
Siberia. The lake is nine miles wide
and seventeen long and within the
memory of man was entirely rooted
over by the salt deposit. Originally
evaporation played the most prominent
part in coating the lake over with salt,
but now the salt springs which sur
round it are adding fast to the thick
ness or the crust.
In the long ago period. evaporation
of the lakes waters left great salt crys.
tails on the surface. In the course of
time these caked together. Thus the
waters we're finally covered. In 1878
the lake found an underground outlet
into the river Oil, which lowered its
surface about three feet.
The ealt crust was 30 thick, however,
that it retained its old level, and now
presents the curious spectacle OF salt
rooted lake. The salt coat increases
six inches in thickness every year.
The many islands with which the lake
is studded are said to act as braces and
to keep the arched salt crust in posi-
ton.

POTTER SHOWS PERIL.
THE BISHOP SAYS RACE SUICIDE
ENDANGERS NATION,

Bishop II. c. Potter Of New York Decidedly
Corroberates President Roosevelt's Theory
That Race Suicide is Cause of National
Peril.
In an interview dated at Washing
ton, on the 24th ult., that dignitary
says:
81 fear it is true, and certainly re.
gretable, that the American woman
OF to day is opposed to large families,
particularly large ones after the old
fashioned way. In Webster's time
the best men and women of the young
republic came from large families. l
think it must have been the associa-
ton Of large families Of children, each
doing for the other, and the self-de.
NAL of each one for the others, and
for the parents, that made the men Of
strong character and the women of
noble domestic life OF other genera
tions.
"This sort of home training, where
brothers and sisters are mingling to-
gether under the same roof, instills
into the boys and girls and young
tnen and young women the noblest
instincts and the most worthy am
billions.
"Children and young people must
have Unborn and inbred a veneration
and affection as well as a responsible
feeling for those nearest and dearest
to them, their brothers and sisters, in
order to make the best men and
women Of them. Where q couple de-
sires but one child, it is most unfor.
tunate for that child. For parents to
deliberately deprive lone child OF
brothers and sisters is q grave thing.
They want one for pet, perhaps, in
that case their child is born in selfish
ness, to be reared in the same atmos-
phere. II this continues from genera
tiOn to generation, it will be sad for the
republic.
"The modern methods af living as
exemplified in the large apartment
buildings in our cities and towns un.
doubtedly has great deal to do with
the passing out of existence to large
extent of what we may call the "old-
fashioned home.
"The women of America have their
autonomy more largely than women Of
any other country in the world.
While our women have independence
in property rights and other matters
they are not part of the governing
community.
Men and women who are seeking
the most happiness for themselves
who desire to be good men and women,
as we'll as useful citizens in upholding
the good name OF the republic of
which we are so proud, cannot shrink
from the responsibility OF the duties OF
the home, which is the. foundation OF
all they hold good and everything for
that everlasting peace"

A NARROW PARTISAN.
The President Missed an Opportunity for Mag
nanimity and it Is an Index Of
His Character.

MS Iharaeter.
1t is very generally admitted by con,
servative politicians all over the coun.
try that President Roosevelt made
q serious blunder in carefully avoiding
reference to Gen. Mcclellan in his
Brooklyn speech lately at the Antie.
tam celebration, and left it for Gen.
Horatio c. King, speaking on that oc-
casion to supply the omission by the
following generous but truthful tribute
to the General who literally grasped
victory from defeat in reorganization
of the Union army after the disaster
ef Bull Run:
"The Union armies had met with de-
feat. After the battle OF Bull Run they
were thoroughly disorganized, and came
to Washington hatless, shoeless and
with their guns thrown aside. The peo-
Pile had lost confidence in the generals.
After repeated disasters there was only
one man to whom the people looked for
the preservation of the Union, and he
was in Washington when the whipped
armies came there. The great President,
Abraham Lincoln, realized this, and
went from the White House to the resi-
dence of General Mcclellan to ask him
to take command of the armies. He
was never really relieved of command.
(Cheers.) In twenty-four hours the dis
order in the armies was over, and Nc
Clellan (cheers) took that previously de-
moralized army, equipping them on the
way, and in six weeks fought one of the
greatest battles in the great struggle,
sending back across the Maryland line
General Robert E. Lee and his confeder-
ate army. Such a battle between other
nations would have ended a war, but
the contestants were of the same blood,
equally heroic and convinced of the
cause for which they were fighting"

"NO, Mr.. Slowun," said the fair pos.
SCISSOR OF the square chin, 81 must re.
respectfully decline to become your
other half"
: "B-but why?" asked the astonished
young man who had believed that he
was the favored one.
Because" replied the female ex-
tender OF the frosty digit, "the man 1
marry must be brave and fearless. To.
night you let out the information that
you have loved me for five long, weary
years, but have not dared to mention
1t until the present meeting. A man
who has no more nerve than that
would hide under the bed while his
wife went down stairs to interview a
burglar who was making q raid on the
family larder. Therefore, Mr.. Slow.
un, will work the piano for a little
slow music while the curtain drops on
the farewell scene. You will find your
hat on the usual peg of the hall rack.

LOOK AHEAD!

Old Winters coming swiftly with its
blighting cold and snow
To lock the laughing rivers where the
crystal waters flow;
But beyond the snow clouds flying, and
beyond the chill and gloom,
Is another golden Summer with the
roses all a-bloom.
Cold without, and chill and dreary and
the blasts are fierce and strong,
But within is love and laughter and the
days are full of song,
For the snow will all be scattered and
the rivers onward flow
In another golden Summer when the
fairest roses blow.
Is your life beset with trials and your
pathway rough and steep?
Does grim fate keep step beside you and
gloomy vigil keep?
Laugh at him and watch the coming of
better day ahead
In another golden Summer with its fair
est roses spread.

Scorn not the meerschaum. Housewives,

In ignorance of its charms. Through

Did Milton, now and then, consume the
weed;
The poet Tennyson hath oft evoked
The muse with glowing pipe, and Thack-

And wrote and sang in nicotinian mood
Hawthorne with this hath cheered his
solitude;
Thousand times this pipe hath Lowell
smoked;
Full oft hath Aldrich, Stoddart, Taylor,

Pulled the Virginian or Havana leaf;

Drops no sustaining fruit, how sweet to
