Paint brushes.

Everybody paints. whether hc owns
a house In the suburbs or rents a nat
In the metropolis. And what troubles
the mind most Is the disposition of the
brushes when the job is partly com
pleted. Some folk leave them In the
paint, some wash them In turpentine,
some soak them in alcohol. some I'M
merse them In llnseed oil. An author
ity advises all amateur as well as pro
fessIonal painters to drop their brushes
into bucket or bottle OF water and
forget them. When needed again they
will be as soft and plant as when
new. | have tried the trick and can
recommend it.-New York Press.

WAGES AND cosT OF LIVING.
Good-Times Incomes and Hard Times
Prices Never Come Together.

The question is: Has the average
man been better on in the last six OF
seven years than he was in the six or
seven years preceding 1ss9-ls00? Is
he better able now to have the things
he wants than he was 10 or IL years
ago?
He is. Beyond the shadow OF q
shade Of doubt he is. We have but to
look about us to see the proofs on
every hand. We have but to think
back to find these proofs In our own
knowledge.
The average man Is able to live I'm
better house. better furnished. and
wear better clothes now than then.
lie has more money in the bank. he
fails less frequently in business. he
has fewer debts which he cannot pay
when due. These are undeniable
facts.
Then why this wild outcry from
Iowa? 1t is true that prices are high
er. but so are incomes. The average
man has to pay out more, but he also
gets in more and is able to save more
IL he chooses.
What these Iowa Democrats really
call for is hard-times prices with good
times incomes. No way has ever
been found OF having these two
things at once. We can have one or
the other-had times with low prices
or prosperity with high prices-but
not both
We tried In 1892 the remedy for
high prices which the Iowa Democrats
now again propose. We let the Dem
ocratic party break down the tariff to
get lower prices.
Well. we got low prices-and we
also got low incomes. We got rid OF
high prices-and we also got rid OF
prosperity. We swore we would no
longer be robbed under the shelter
OF the tariff"-and we were soon
luxuriating in the pleasing sensation
that we were entirely safe from rob.

prices now think back and remember

he better off then than he is now ?

FOR GOOD EFFECTS.
THINGS THE HOME pREssMAkER
SHOULD REMEMBER.
Proper Fitting Of Bodice Has Much to
Do with Appearanee-Newes
Ideas In Cushions and
Piilows-Collars.

With a straight seam, Il Is well to
remember that in fitting a bodice on
an older woman. particularly on the
woman who is inclined to be stout,
the back seam should be kept com.
promisingly straight and the side back
seams should be curved in at the waist
line. The successful appearance OF a
woman's figure at this age very large
ly depends on the At OF the back of
the dress. where fatness and length
are required. In the front OF bodice
the darts should be extremely shallow.
The newest long cushions and pill.
lows are covered with colored silk
or oriental satin, with a gathered pun
OF about FIVE inches deep at each end.
but not reaching beyond. The muslin
cover reaches only to the commence
ment OF the pun. The effect is very
pretty. especially II the muslin cover,
with ribbon run through Sits. Is used.
The ribbon should. of course, be OF
the same color as the puffs and vary
from two to four inches In width, fin
ished of with a bow at one corner.
Bed pillows and also soft cushions
frequently have soft sash ribbon
widths run in. The coverlids are
trimmed to correspond.
Dainty lace collars. made of sheer
net, with insertion motifs and edging,
will be smart for afternoon and even
ing wear this year. They are much
more elaborate than those popular
last season and are consequently more
expensive, for the very finest OF i'm

Brilliant Revislonlsta.


Our tariff revision friends have
been revising their platform, as per
announcement. They now favor
placing lumber, coal and nearly all
trust controlled goods on the free
list reducing the duty on necessities
of life and on American-made goods
sold cheaper abroad than at home"
After placing all trust controlled
goods on the free list we see no ne
cessity for reducing the duty on ne
cessities Of life or on goods sold
cheaper abroad than at home, for
there wouldn't be any duty left to re-
duce. According to the statements
made by the advocates for revision,
all commodities are controlled by
trusts. especially the goods that are
sold cheaper abroad than at home.
Then It follows that II nearly all
these goods are placed on the free list
there will be little use for further re.
vision or for custom houses. We will

Let It be known tomorrow that
there is to be a rip up on the tariff
and the cheapening process will be
gin Immediately. Neither the manu-
facturer nor the wholesaler or the re-
taller will know what to expect Many
will lose their jobs. Their ability TO
buy will be decreased and prices will
fall The man who holds his Job and
keeps his salary may possibly be bene-
flied temporarily, but scarcely one
man in 10000 will be able to do that.
A general reduction in wages will be
the order OF the day. Hard times
prices mean hard times incomes. The
prices that prevail in good times are
the natural sequence OF the incomes
that characterize such periods The
