ouIETNEss PREVAILS IN TRADE
Bradstreet's Reports That Advices

Trade advices are irregular, vary

prevailing feature. In the Northern
half OF the country unseasonably cool
weather has been bar to expansion
In retail trade, which at many cities
is classed as disappointing At these
centers recorders are light, and jobbers'
operations are consequently restrict
ed. Probably the best reports as to
trade comes from the Northwest and
the Pacific coast, while the Atlantic
coast reports are of current retail
trade being unsatisfactory. AS the
week advanced action by the Govern
ment against higher railroad freight
rates resulted in rumors of suspen-
sions of improvement work by rail-
roads. some OF which were, however,
denied. These reports injected an ad-
ditional element of uncertainty into
the industrial situation.
There Is more activity In iron, but
largely at the expense Of prices. Wool
is weak and lower on liquidation Of
old stocks and unsatisfactory reports
from the goods markets. Cotton goods
still feel the effects of contrast of
high present prices with probably low
er future quotations for raw material.
The leather and shoe trades are quiet.
Building is active, but May totals will
probably fall behind April.

That Mrs. Jesusa Agnes Ellsworth, a
grandmother, made love to him and
even promised to settle set amount
of money on him after their marriage.
The two met about three years ago
and became friends. Bower alleged
that Mrs. Ellsworth wrote him en-
dearing letters and that they visited
a hotel in Clifton, where they occu-
pied separate rooms and he was de-
scribed as Mrs. Ebsworths nephew.
There was testimony that Mrs. Ebs-
worth paid the bills. Mrs. Ellsworth
denied she ever agreed to marry the
young man and said that the letters
Bower put in evidence were written by
her as joke to the young man. She
says that after he proposed marriage
to her she ordered him never to speak
to her. The jury, however, thought
the young mans feelings had been
wounded.-New York Press.

Some Oldtime Savings.

Everybody knows some old sayings
which few of us perhaps believe in
our hearts. Yet. although we do not
believe them, still we are interested
in them, and as often as not follow
the directions Notwithstanding that
we may scoff at the results. AS, for
instance, most people pick up pin
when they see it, but they do not
cherish any hope of the action affect
ing their luck. When our ears burn
we say some one is speaking of us;
-perchance we think we speak truly,
probably we do not.
Here, however, are some other old
time sayings given for what they are
worth. If you

that is adapted to treatment of this
sort. The sleeves are cut in one with

no labor involved in the making.
This one is made If chiffon cloth with
trimming of messaline, but marquis
cites are much liked for the trans
parent blouse, and as already stated
the model can be utilized in number
less ways. Trimmed with soutache
as shown in the back view 1t would

ing material is preferred silk of any
sort, either plain with satin finish
or figured, can be used as best suits
the foundation material. Dotted
foulard on plain fabric is fashionable
and pretty.
The over blouse is made with front
and back portions and there are
shoulder and under-arm seams only,
SO that making means almost no labor
and very little time. The trimming
portion for the neck, which gives a
yoke effect, is applied over the blouse,
and the bands are applied over the
sleeves.
The quantity of material required
for the sixteen year size is three
yards twenty-one, twenty-four or thir-
ty-two or one and one-half yards for
ty-four inches wide, with one-half
yard of silk twenty-seven inches wide

| be completely covered with 1t during
the period that the tresses are re-
gaining their natural shade.
Times without number / am asked
by my correspondents how they can
restore color, having changed 1t by
dyes, and my only answer it by mas
sage, brushing and copious use of
oils. The last, perhaps the most Inn
portant, is manifestly impossible
when ones own hair must show, but
when false pieces are used the head
may be deluged and the oil will not
show.
The chief injury done the hair
through dyeing or bleaching is the
drying of natural oils until the locks
starve or become so crisp they break
constantly.
OIL is the best method of nourish-
ing, as massage is best to drive 1t into
the pores. Incidentally, massage
stimulates circulation. Ordinary
tonics-that is, those for ordinary
conditions of the scalp-will be in
eficacious. A combination of sweet
almond oil, putting half an ounce of
tincture of cantharides to eight
ounces of the oil, is helpful. Almond
oil is also nourishing.
Either is to be put on every night
that is, literally poured over the
scalp. 1t is impossible that too much
oil shall go on. When the head has
been wet in this way the whole scalp
should be pressed with the finger tips,
bending the knuckles to move the
scalp over the skull. Each section is
to be pressed for three or four min
utes in this way, then another rub
bing must be given to drive the oil
into the pores. After this there must
be thorough brushing, using long
bristles that will go through the hair
and reach the scalp.
The whole treatment will take at
| least ten and probably fifteen or
| twenty minutes at night, and 1t is not
to be thought that all the oil will be
absorbed by the scalp In this time.
To the contrary, much will remain
and the head will not look neat.
Nevertheless, IL necessary, it may be
tied in thin bandage for the night.
Oil in quantities 1t must have, and In
the morning If more oil can be abb
sorbed it should be applied. The
locks are then twisted closely but not

Woman to Woman.

The woman who for any reason
cannot get on with women is prepar-
ing for herself lonely old age. She
may be beautiful, witty, a favorite
with the men, yet there are times
when she realizes that in one sense
she is failure. She asks herself
whether one of the most tangible
forms of success is not to get on with
people. And the greater success-as
she also begins to Observes to get
on with women. To get on with men
is much less distinguished, for the
odds are all in her favor. Men are
not critical in their attitude toward
her, and respond quickly to atten-
tion or kindness, seldom questioning
the motives underlying either, as
members of her own sex are prone
to do, says Woman's Life. 1t seems
impossible for certain class of wo-
men to be fair to women; ergo, 1t is
equally impossible for them to get on
with other women.
