Complaints.

Several complaints have recently
come to the notice of the undersigned
of injuries sustained by mothers dur.
ing childbirth; done, evidently. either
through the lack of experience or care
lessness of the attendant. To such of
whom there may be many more 1 will
say that can make a permanent re-.
pair. Do not neglect this important
matter, because it lays the foundation
for annoying female complaints. You
need not 60 out of Medicine Lodge to
get cured of that. In conclusion l will
point out to the prospective mother q
moral: Always employ an experienced
practitioner in so important an hour.
Ii country is invaded by the enemy the
defense is entrusted to an old expert.
enced general and not to young grad
uate of military academy. Do not
rely on mother rumOr; she is tickle and
actuated, generally, by family. society,
or friendly connections, or sometimes
by unchristian sinister motives. Judge
for yourself. Remember that there are
two sides 70 every question: 2 different
opinions on every subject; that ev.
erybndy has his friends. enemies and
indifferents. DIR. s. KOCIELL.

"Uncle Joe" and His Democratic Wavs.

Speaker Cannon is what Mr.. Bryan would call
o man of the plain people. He doesn't like fuss
and pretension. On the floor of the House he
nsed to roll up his sleeves in the heat of debate
and pound his desk with his fist. His gesticula-
tons are famous for their vigor, though not for
their Delsartean gracefulness. He is a small.
wiry, spare man, with a sharp, shrewd face. He
wears his old clothes most of the time,-the waist
coat unbuttoned full length-,and a little old
slouch hat. Twice he was seen with a high hat
once when with Mr.. Mckinley when the lat
ter took the oath as President, and again at Nc
Kinley's funeral. The day he was made Speaker
he appeared in a fine frock coat, with a bouton-
Mere in his lapel, and men said "Uncle Joe" was
putting on airs in his new dignity. But next day
he was in his den, the Speakers room, his feet
upon the table, his hand-me-down suit hang
ing loosely upon his body, the vest open to the
waist, the cigar-ashes scattered over his person,
and all about him the leaders of the Republican
party and scores of members in the most familiar
and democratic conference-"a-havin' O our little
visits and a gentle shakin' O 'em down into their
committee assignments"
A character" the David Harum" of the polit-
zeal world, he is. But he is a wholesome, a strong,
character. He understands human nature, and
he understands the American people. He knows
the United States as a chess-player knows his
board and his pieces. He is sagacious, honorable,
faithful. He loves his country, his party, and his
fellow-men. He may not be ornamental, but he is
useful. He is not polished, but he is to be trust
ed. He will make a good Speaker, because he
will keep his party together and secure results

by Mentor" in the American Monthly Review of
Reviews for December.

Late Winter Fashions.

As the season has advanced the materials have
taken on a softer and more pliable quality, until
now even cloth and velvet have acquired the sup
pleness of chiffon. Heavy, stiff fabrics are impos-
sible to the flowing lines of the present styles.
The fur-trimmed gown is the smartest of the
season. Velvet and fur seem made for comrade-
ship, but a greater Innovation than the fur
trimmed velvet frock is the fur-trimmed silk
gown. The fullest expression of the picturesque
"1830' modes lies in these gowns of silk and fur.
Black gowns of all kinds are popular for evening,
as are also black and white combinations.
There is no garment of more Importance than
the street costume. For morning wear it must
be almost severe in its lines, the skirt escaping the
ground all around and the coat preferably IN
short three-quarter length. The beautiful silky
zibelines and other rough, shaggy fabrics are
well liked for these costumes. Military effects
are Fashions latest fancy, and are carried out
in combinations of gold with a color and in the
trimming. Green and gold with a touch of black
is the favorite combination, and others that are
popular are dark blue and gold, bright red and
gold, and even brown and gold. Then there are
braids that may be used to outline the seams and
finish the edges of the military cost. Narrow
braids in black and white, or with a touch OF color
added, are effectively employed, usually with tiny
gold, gun-metal or silver buttons.-From The
Delineator for February.
