Eashinnn In Women-

There are fashions not only in wom-
ems clothes but in women themselves.
A certain style OF woman becomes
the vogue. Lydia Languish reads SEN
timental novels, dissolves in tears at
a moments notice, and finds elope-
ment a necessary spice for marriage.
"A century later Lydia's clinging type
goes out-with ''leg-o'-mutton sleeves,
and the athletic girl takes the cen
ter of the stage, with her short skirt,
her long stride and her loud voice.
The dominant note of the early twen-
Eieth century woman is her ability to
be interesting. Be she plain or beau
Ftiful, blonde, strawberry" or bru-
nette, she must be pleasant. To listen
well is not enough; she must have
"a quick wit and a clever tongue,
which should be kind as well. The
dull, the quiet, the simpering are out
of fashion, and even the athletic girl
must look to her laurels, lest the en-
tGrtaining one prove her successful
Rival with the exacting sex. One mod
'ern freak of the mode deserves soon
TO pass away, remarks the Youths
Companion. The modern woman re-
fuses to grow old At first sight that
seems a worthy ambition. But with
the Punishment of caps and shoulder

grace and wisdom of old age has also
been lost. In place Of those lovely ac'

lind other things which make their
bearer a nondescript travesty OF
youth, whose hat complexion and
conduct are as gay as they are unbe,
coming. Somebody once said that
the finest thing God ever made was
q beautiful old woman. 1t behooves
Us not to let her dignity and calm,
her poise, sagacity and charm go out
of fashion.

Keen Your Blood Pure.

No one can be happy, light-hearted
and healthy with body full of blood
that cannot do it's duty to every part
because of it's impurity; therefore, the
first and most important work in hand
is to purify the blood so that every
organ will get the full benefit of a
healthy circulation. There is no rem
edy so good as that old family rem
edy, Brandreth's Pills. Each pill con
tains one grain of the solid extract Of
sarsaparilla blended with two grains
of a combination of pure and mild
vegetable products, making it a blood
purifier unexcelled in character. One
or two taken every night for awhile
will produce surprising results.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

CHOOSING A NEW MINISTER.
Why Some Were Never Rejected;
Also Why No. Was Favored.

The faithful old parson had died
after 80 years preaching, and per-
haps the newer methods had begun
to creep in, for 1t seemed impossible
to suit the two communities most in
terested in the choice.
Rev. Mr.. Davis, for example, was
spirited preacher, but persisted in
keeping two horses in the parsonage
stable, and in exchanging them when
ever he could get faster ones. AS a
parochial visitor he was incompatible,
dashing from house to house with
such speed that he could cover the
parish in a single afternoon. This
sporting tendency, which would never
have been remarked in British par
son, was frowned upon in New Eng
land village, and Deacon Milliken told
Mr.. Davis, when giving him what he
alluded to as his walking papers, "
that they didn't want the church run
by hoss power!
The next candidate pleased Edge
wood, where morning preaching was
held, but the other parish, which had
afternoon service, rejected him be.
cause he wore wig-an i'll matched,
crookedly applied wig.
Number three was eloquent, but
given to gesticulation, and Mrs. Jere
Burbank, the president of the Dorcas
society, who sat in a front pew, said
she couldn't bear to see a preacher
scramble round the pulpit hot Sun
days.
Number four, a genial, handsome
man, gifted in prayer, was found to
be Democrat. The congregation was
overwhelmingly Republican in it's poll

Appalling Loss Of Life and Awful De

Santiago, Chile, Dec. 27.-Meager de-

upheavals which led to the frightful
catastrephes in this city and Valpa.

The province of Tacna, Peru, is re-

seacoast, half of which was destroy.
ed. Many other towns in the imme-
date vicinity of africa suffered more
or less severely, though the seaport of
Iqui1ue, about 120 miles south, was
not damaged.
In the business portions of africa not
building was left standing, and many
of the residences were razed, causing
an appalling loss of life. No accurate
report of the dead and injured has
been received. The authorities are
taxed to their utmost to bury the vic
tins to to care for the wounded.
AS the weather is warm and there
is plenty Of food for the sufferers,
there seems to be little destitution
among the hundreds who have been
forced to form camps for shelter, nev-
ertheless the government at Lima is
hurrying troops with provisions and
relief trains with surgeons to the
scene.
With the recollection of the fall dis
aster fresh in their minds there is
great alarm among the people through
out the earthquake zone, while the in
habitants Of Tacna province are panic
stricken, fearing a recurrence of the
quake at any moment.
The province of Tacna is regarded
as the Alsace-Lorraine of the southern
continent. 1t has for years been the
bone Of contention between Peru and
Chile. 1t contains vast nitrate depos-
20 years ago. To this day the fate
of the province remains unsettled and
causes constant disputes between the
two republics, both claiming it as orig
inally theirs.
The treaty Of 1888 stipulated that
while Peru definitely ceded Tarapaca
to Chile she surrendered Tacna and
africa for 10 years, at the end of which
a plebiscite was to be taken, the loser
to receive $1O,O0O,OOO. This plebiscite
has been postponed from year to year,
and now Peru claims the territory has
| reverted to her. Some Chilean states
men have counseled that no attempt
should be made to regain the prov
inces, since, though rich in resources,
they are everlastingly threatened by
earthquakes and volcanic outburSts.

Monarchs aa LInuuTsta.

Monarchs must know more than one
language. King Edward, who trav-
eled so much, speaks French better
than some Frenchmen, and also Ger
man. The czar of Russia speaks
French as we'll as his native tongue
and knows the numerous dialects.
Emperor William of Germany speaks
French and English correctly, and is
also we'll versed in Latin. The king
of Spain, the youngest of all, speaks
German with ease and also French
and English. Because Of his marriage
he now practices the latter. The king
of Portugal speaks French, English,
German and Spanish. The king OF
Italy is a master of French and Ger
man and is also we'll versed in the va.
rious Italian dialects.

Johnston Cassatt, president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co., and one of
the formost railroad men and finan-

The Michigan supreme court has
decided that the evidence submitted
fby phonograph is admissible. The
question was raised in a case where
a hotel proprietor was trying to
prove how the value of his property
had been diminished by the prox-
Unity of a railroad and the blowing
of whistles and the shunting of cars.
The phonograph won the case. We
believe the admission of such evi.
'dence to be novelty. Higher courts
might overrule the decision. Imagine,
says the Utica Observer, If you can,
the supreme court of the United
States listening to a phonograph!

The Ute "Uprlslnq."

Persons familiar with real Indian
uprisings have been amused at the
amount of attention attracted to the
recent attempted migration Of 800
Utes from their reservation in Utah
TO more fertile land in Wyoming. 1t
could hardly be called an uprising in
the old sense, says Youths Compan-
ion. The Indians had no warlike pur-
pose. They were simply seeking a
place of residence where it will be
possible to get food. 1t is Is years
since there has been anything which
can properly be called an uprising,
and that eliminated in the fight at
Wounded Knee, S. D., in 1890. The
campaign of Gen. Miles for the cap
ture of Geronimo in 1886 was really
the last serious conflict between the
whites and the red men. To go far
ther back, troops were called out at
the time of the massacre of the Meek
Ier family by the White river Utes in
1879, and the Sioux and Cheyennes
were so troublesome in 1876 that they
had to be attacked in the campaign
which resulted in the Custer massa-
cre. These were grave disturbances;
but so many of the Indians now speak
English, wear civilized clothing and
cultivate the land, that the red man
who has any disposition to take to
the war-path has practically disap-
peared.

SIXTEEN KILLED; THIRTY HURT
SnoWstorm Causes Terrible Railroad
Accident In Scotland.

Dundee, Scotland, Dec. 29.-In a

the heavy snowstorm of the last few
days 16 persons have been killed and
over 80 injured.
The accident occurred near Arbroath
on the North British railroad. between
Edinburgh and Aberdeen and some
distance north of here.
Among the persons injured is Alex
ander William Black, member of the
house of commons.
The train had stopped at Elliott
junction and the danger signals were
thought to have been set.
They failed to act, however, through
being clogged with snow or from some
other cause, and an express train

PromInen. on Lecture Platform.

Senator Tillman probably earns
more money every year on the lecture
platform than any other American
who talks to the public for pay. From
an authoritative source the statement
comes that the South Carolinian's net
proceeds thus far this year from his
lecture tour are $4,000. Senator Till
man is paid from $3.50 to $500 lee
ture and he is constantly in demand.
His season is not confined to the sum-
merry Chautauqua course and he fills
nearly as many dates in the winter
as at any other time of the year. In
the last four years it is said that he
has laid aside over 100000 from his
lecture receipts. Henry Watterson
perhaps comes next in the matter OF
earnings on the platform. Champ
Clark, OF Missouri, ranks high as
popular favorite and makes about
twice as much as lecturer as his con-
gressional salary.
