setshire blood has produced one Of our
greatest living novelists.
There Is another side to the question
Mixture gives us poets, noyelsts, painters
and probably good fighting men. But Mr..
Gallon thinks that pure blood tells IN
science. Out OF every ten distinguished
English scientists five are of pure English
stock, and only one has foreign blood.
Probably the same IS true Of politicians.
But Il Is not always possible to say that q
man is of one race only Mr.. Gladstone be-
lieved himself to be pure Scotch. Now
you must know" he said, that I am Il
Scotchman-pure Scotch. In fact, no blood
can be purer than ours, which never mixed
with extraneous blood except in the seven
teenth century"
Mr. Ellis, however, shows that the great
statesnan's family was Lowlander-Saxon
Lowlander-on the fathers side. while his
mother came from the typical Hghlan6ers
Of the north-"two utterly distinct races
confined TO the Same country"
Very likely a strict analysis would show
that many eminent men who pride them
selves on pure blood are in the same case
with Mr. Gladstone. Would they be emf
nent otherwise? Among ordinary people It
Is supposed that only one-seventh are u
raCe-TniXture among men Of genius the
proportion Is one-half TO three-fourths.

Should Rest in Philadelphia.

From the philadelphia Inquirer.
The effort to remove the bones of James
Wilson from North Carolina to this city
should succeed, and there seems to be no
obstacle unless. unexpectedly and unfor-
tunately, the owner OF the private Gene
terry where they lie should enter objection
Wilson ought 20 be properly commemorated
IN this city. where most OF his great serv-
Ices were performed.
Wilson was one OF the Scotchmea who
have done so much for America He was a
siguer Of the Declaration although IN 70
the very last he followed John Dickinson In
hoping for reconciliation. He took part In
the war for independence was often a
member of the Continental Congress and
that Of the confederation. His greatest
services were as a member Of the cJnstitu-
tional convention in this city In I7ST where
he exercised perhaps more influence for GOOD
than any other delegate. He was strenuous
for the most popular form of government
and for the division OF authority between
the executive, the legislature and the
courts
He was a member OF the Supreme Bench
OF the United States when he died ana 1t
has been a mere matter of neglect that his
bones have been permitted to repose so
long In q state where he had no interest
Although not we'll known 10 the majority
OF Americans, Wilson was one OF the ables;
and purest citizens. and II Is altogether tit.
ting that his mortal remains should be
placed beside those of his wife In the hal
lowed precincts of Christ Church, this city

the contamination Of an act of plous patrt-
otism.

STYLES IN MEMS WEAR
LEANINGS AND GLEANINGS OF
THE MODE.
The Personality of the Wearer of
Clothes Must Be Supreme
English Influences.

Fashions never change suddenly and un-
eXpectedly, but their evolution Is gradual
and generally consumes a period of several
seasons. Only few years ago the trend
OF the mode was markedly toward loose
clothes, which savored of field and lane.
Even today the suggestion of the country
In dress is pronounced, especially among
the club and college set, and while a mans
dress is more form-defining, there is vet
very evident the spirit Of athleticism. which
has permeated clothes for the last five
years. The extreme military cut has not
been adopted this spring by the best dress
ers, but most of them indorse the semi
military fit which lends distinction to the
tall figure and relieves the short one of its
aspect of stockiness. For it must be evi-
dent to the most untutored eye that the
curves and angles of the military cut Of
clothes are very helpful IN giving q man a
TRIM well-set-up air that is quite impos-
sible were we to follow slaVishly the Eng
lish standard 1t has been well said that
appropriateness is the keynote of dressing
well. The man who makes his manner Of
dress conform to time, occasion and cir
cumstance, who always looks in tune with
his surroundings can claim to be Well
dressed in the truest meaning of the words
Il is mistake to assume that fashion is
bound arbitrarily by a set of narrow rules
On the contrary, fashion is very plastic
and one OF its fundamental requirements
is that a man choose that cut color or
cloth which is most becoming to him In
dividualy, irrespective of what the mode
of the moment may ordain. For example
II fashion indorses brown as the spring
color (Which 1t does noD, 1t woulud be
fatuous for man to adopt brown, because
It is color which is trying to most men
and to which ii is lard to make the details
of ones dress conform. 1t used to be that
the talors haberdashers and bootmakers
were not satisfied unless the mode of one
season differed radically from that OF the
preceding one Today, however, we'll
dressed men believe in adhering to those
ia shions which time and common sense have
demonstrated to be rational and 1t Is i'm
possible for any tradesman, however pow
erfuf he may be, to change the course OF
fashion. For. after ALL fashion is not
fixed by any tradesman or group of trades
men. but by the weight of opinion of men
of assured taste and impeccable social po-
sition. There are two distinct sets of men
whose requirements must be considered
separately. The first embraces the younger
or college set, which affects all extremes
in dress and pursues each fresh fad to the
uttermost limit This set is very partial to
the military jacket and like manifestations
of the radical in clothes. The other set Is
composed of men whose taste is more
sober and who care not q fig for the frfls
so-called fad" too sweepingly, because the
accumulated experience of years has DEM
onstrated that tho fad of today may be the
fashion Of tomorrow.
Again, fashion must always be exclusive.

They were rushed to the auction rooms

The first lesson that the young girl
has of womanhood is usually pain
tul one, She learns TO know what
headache means, and backache, and
sometimes Is sadly borne down by
this new experience OF life.
All the pain and misery which
young girls commonly experience at
such time may, in almost every in
stance, be entirely prevented or
cured by the use of DR.. .Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. 1t establishes
regularity. It tones up the general
health, and cures headache, back
ache, nervousness, chorea or St.
Vitus's dance, and other conse-
quences of womanly weakness or
disease.
MOTHER OF THE FAMILY.
The anxious mother of the family
oftentimes carries the whole burden
OF responsibility so far as the home
medication of common ailments OF
the girls or boys are concerned. The
cost of the doctors visits are very
often much too great. AT such times
the mother is invited to write to pr.
R. Y. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y, for
medical advice, which is given free.
Correspondence is held sacredly
confidential.
IT STANDS ALONE.
"Favorite Prescription" is the only
medicine for women the makers OF
which are not afraid to print just
what it is made of on every bottle
wrapper. 1t is the only medicine for
women every ingredient of which has
the unanimous endorsement of all
the leading medical writer's of this
country, recommending it for the
cure of the very same diseases for
which this Prescription" is advised.
MOTHERS LOVE
A mothers love is so divine that
the toughest man cannot help but
appreciate it as the crown of woman
hood. However, motherhood is often
looked forward to with feelings OF
great dread by most women. At
such times a woman is nervous, dys-
peptic, irritable, and she is in need
of a uterine tonic and nervine,
strength builder to fit her for the or
deal. No matter how healthy or
strong woman may be she cannot
but be benefited by taking DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription to
prepare for the event. 1t makes
childbirth easy and often almost
painless.

tonic.

and subduing nervous excitability,

commonly attendant upon functional
and organic disease OF the womb. 1t

superhuous Hair-and Other Troubles
The only permanent cure for superhuous
hair is the application OF the electric needle
to the very roots OF the hair shaft, but YOU
can keep the growth In check by applying
the following paste: Sulphide of strontium
drains; oxide of zinc, drains; powdered
starch, drains. Mix thoroughly and keep
dry in well-corked bottles until wanted for
use. Take enough to make paste and add
warm water to it until the proper consis-
tency is secured. Spread over the hairy
surface aud allow to remain for from one
to five minutes according to the nature of
the growth and the susceptibility of the
skin. 1t should be removed. as in every
case with a depilatory. when the burning
sensation is produced. Too long conflict
with-3he skin should be avoided, and i'm
mediately after the hair has been removed
the denuded surface should be gently
washed with warm water and cold cream
or bland oil applied to prevent irritation.
