May Make Change.

Upon the proposition of permitting
an appeal to the courts in special
cases which may not come within the
scope of the terms "confiscatory" or
"exorbitant" the Presidents mind is
not fully made up. So many of the
Presidents closest advisers; men who
favor railroad control and in whom the
President has implicit confidence, have
advised him to accept such clause
that he may consent to an amendment
to this effect, although this is by no
means certain. He certainly will not
accept it until it has been proved that
the amendment contains no dynamite
or feature that will weaken the whole
measure,

The right Of any man or corporation
to appeal to the courts is an inalien-
able one and cannot be abridged by
any act of congress- The point Of main
contention is with respect to the en-
forcement of the rate. The President
declares that the rate should go into
effect at once, pending appeal.
The railroads hold out for clause
which shall suspend the going into
effect of the rate fixed by the commits

matter by the courts. This the Pres
ident will never consent to, 1t is said
in the highest quarters. If congress
should pass such bill the President
will veto it and call an extra session

GOOD READING FOR CHILDREN
Best Way to Develop Sound Taste In
Literature.

IhIIdkQI
There ought to be a collection of
good books within the reach of every
child from the earliest years. These
books ought to be selected with the
utmost care. and should exclude ali
inferior. sensational and careless
writing. The list ought to exclude
large number of the books written
especially for children. because many
of these hooks lack reality and liter.
Rry quality.
A child who Is brought up with we'll
bred people will have good manners
far more certainly than child who
Is taught good manners In any for
NAL way; and much the best way to
develop sound taste for literature
in children is to make them familiar
with the best writing from the very
first. and to shut them off from access
to inferior writing. The best litera-
ture offers every kind of writing
which should interest a child.-Week.

Beautiful Hands.

Mile. Marie de Castellane, young
Partisan beauty, is the proud possessor
of the most beautiful hands in the
world, says an Exchange. The lady
in question is descendant OF the
Bourbons, but early in life she threw
away her insignia of nobility and
went on the stage. Since then she has
devoted herself solely to her art and
the care Of her hands. The most pecu-
liar feature about her hands is that
they are perfectly smooth and even,
without the slightest trace of line,
and they battle the most far-seeing
palmist. She receives visitors from all
over the world, who come to Paris for
the sole purpose Of getting look at
her hands and if possible to lear- the
secrets of their beauty.

BOYS TERRIBLE ECZEMA
Mouth and Eyes Covered With Crusts-

ulOuS Cure by Cuticura

When my little boy was si- months
old he lad eczema. 1 ne sores extended
80 quickly over the who.e body that we at
once called in the doctor. We then went
to another doctor. but he could not help
him, and in our despair we went to a
third one. Matters became 30 bad that
he had regular holes in his cheeks, large
enough to put finger into The food
had to be given with spoon, for his
mouth was covered with crusts as thick
as . finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and suppurate,
a. did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest
and back, in short, the whole body, was
covered over and over. We had no rest
by day or night Whenever he was laid
IN his bed we had to pin his hands down,
otherwise he would scratch his face, and
make an open sore. l think his face must
have itched most fearful,y.
we finally thought nothing could help,
and l had made up my mind to send my
wife with The csild to Europe, hoping that
the sea air might cure him, otherwise he
was to be put under good medical care
there. But, Lord be blessed, matters came
differently, and we soon saw miracle. A
friend of ours spoke about Cuticura. We
made trial with Cuticura Soap, ONT
ment and Resolvent, and within ten days
or two weeks we noticed decided i'm.

ness had appeared it also began 10 disap-

PIumes in Hats.

Conceding the maintained impor-
lance and popularity of ostrich plumes
as illustrated in objective garnishing
on rich pattern hats, both of Partisan
and OF home creation, shown in the re-
cent expositions in certain of the
wholesale millinery houses, it must
be admitted that seldom have they
been more strongly contested in ia
vor by fancy feathers than was appar-
ent in the decoration of many of the
new models
An increasing trend toward cocks
plumes is observable, notably those
fashioned OF the long curving tail
feathers of some varieties of the do
nestle bird; and much use is expected
to be made Of curled Tyre cocks tails.
Paradise-bird plumes appear on not
a small number among the most
charming hats which have latterly
come out-these plumes in some in
stances, as is the case with the cocks
plumes, being mounted with heads.
Marabout tips are still in infrequent
notice on fine hats. Made owls heads
are in demand for the garniture of
turbans, and heads mounted with
wings have place on some of the hats
In the medium sizes, and breasts and
long bands tipped with small quills,
montures Of short quilts, half-folded
shoulder wings, long pelican quilts,
ETC., are OF the provision for the new
season Of interest in fancy plumages.
Large birds-the creation of the
and not of nature-are
with decided acceptance as
revived enrichment for hats; and a
very handsome French model in mem
DRY is trimmed with natural South |
American humming birds. The wisp
OF aigrette retain its long-held posi- |
ton on the new small bonnets; and |
lust here mention may be made of the |
small feather-faced plaque in use for |
covering the crowns of hats. to which |

Fashion Hints.

For the blonde the delicate yellow
OF ripe corn is identifying.
Fur hats trimmed in silver gauze
were among the effective models.
The tint of the orange is becoming
to the brunette with fair complexion.
A cavalier shape with a high crown
was covered with pale blue silk and
was trimmed with a crush scarf of
silver gauze.
Silver tissue hats were seen in plen-
ty. Indeed, the silver tissue appears
to be more popular, certainly it is
more refined than the gold.
A pretty model was marquise
shape with a wide brim, the founda-
ton of silver gauze being entirely COW
cred with frills of silver lace.

In those good old fashioned DAYS it

Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study Of roots and herbs. their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegeta BILE foods of
all kinds; SO, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
OF the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
1t was her pleasure to search these out
and prepare simple and effective medi

Chief OF these was a rare combina-
ton OF the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-

All this SO far was done freely, with

But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
OF the Pinkham family, as this class
