THE GLASS OF FASHION.
New taffetas are to be found in large
checks, green and white, blue and
white, brown and white, and some
showing white combined with two col
ors.
Most of the sleeves in the thin white
gowns are trimmed in one way or an
other. In some there are patterns in the
ruffled narrow ribbons, some are tucked
and others are shirred.
Early in the winter the hat that
turned up in front received its due

A solid plaid in white goods makes

of its own. Figured white has the ad
vantage that it does not show every
wrinkle, as do the plain goods. A waist
made of the white plaid with sleeves
and yoke of the plain is very pretty.
The long redingotes so fashionable
this season are particularly smart as a
p>art of the skating costume and are
made in light and dark cloths, with fur
collar and revers. Entire costumes of
fur are also worn, and the short coat
with skirt to match which never goes
out of fashion is quite as popular as
ever.
Sonthdowns are prolific breeders and
mature earlier, perhaps, than any other
sheep They % ill make a pound of flesh
with as little food as any other or
lese, and more of it on the most valu
able part of the carcass, and hence they
command a higher price.
1 A HOME FOR EVERY CITIZEN.
.
Therein Abide* a Satlon'i Greatest
Glory—Let la Vote For It.
I Since the world begun the human
heart has loved a home.
Aye, even the birds that build their
tiny nests in the leafy trees, the ani
mals that burrow into the ground, or
that select their lair among the rocks
and in the jungles and the forests, are
i each and all endowed by an all wise Cre
ator with an instinctive affection for a
j permanent abiding place. Taken either
! figuratively or literally, Eden was the
home of a God made pair of human be
ings, and they wept when they were
driven from it.
The history of the world is a history
of a human struggle for a home.
Among the Egyptians, the Persians,
the Jews, the Romans, the Greeks, and,
in later days, the Normans, the Saxons,
the Gauls, the Britons, men were bat
tling for homes.
The inspiring thought of nearly every
; historical invasion was land on which
i to settle and build up homes.
Immense bodies of men, armed and
equipped for war, took their wives and
I children with them, ready to settle upon
I conquered or newly discovered territory.
Since the pilgrims landed upon the
j bleak shores of Massachusetts the wrest
| ern tide of empire has been sustained
by the desire to obtain land and build
homes.
The longing for a home animates the
heart of the emigrant as he crosses the
ocean to the new world, the same as it
does the ■western settler who journeys
across the continent with his family in
a “prairie schooner.”
Ask a thousand homeless men and
women today what of all things they
most desire, and 999 of them will un
hesitatingly answer : “A home I”
Why not seize this idea, and by its
use unite the disinherited of the earth
in a movement that shall put every
man into a home of his own, exempt
from execution and all taxation? We
repeat what we have already said a
thousand times, that a nation of home
owners would be the grandest, the hap
piest and the mightiest nation on the
face of the earth.
To accomplish this end the money
metal standard must be destroyed and
a paper money standard established in
its place.
The money power most be wiped out
of existence through a system of gov
ernment loans to the people, whereby
money loaning will become so unprofit
able that shylockism cannot exist.
A graduated land tax must be en
forced, so that land will be desirable
only for actual use and occupation.
The grab alls and accumulators of
wealth must be routed by a graduated
income tax, whereby the burden of tax
ation shall be taken from off the shoul
ders of those least able to bear it and
placed upon the shoulders of those best
able to bear it and at the same time
render it impossible for individuals and
corporations to accumulate the vast
fortunes that are threatening the exist
ence of republican forms of government
and destroying the welfare of the
masses.
Let the people be educated to believe
that it is not only possible, but that it
is thoroughly practicable for every man
to own a home of his own, and in time
they will unite to accomplish such an
end.
Let every man who wants a home
vote for a home, and the problem ie
solved.—Norton’s Monthly.
Creditor or Debtor?
One of the old free eoinago arguments was
based on the statement that this is a debtor
nation. Times have changed. It is now on
the creditor side.—Bt. Louis Globe Democrat.
If this is a creditor nation, why don’t
we receive some money for the $500,-
000,000 excess of exports over imports.
We ship immense amounts of merchan
dise and produce, but we get very little
money back. If we don’t owe anything
to the foreigners, why doesn’t the for
eigner settle balances in cash ? Instead
of them owing ns we owe them so many
billions that it takes all our surplus to
pay interest —Omaha Nonconformist
Another Strange Thing,
It is strange that papers and politi
cians who pretend to believe that our
government is not competent to success
fully own and operate railroads at home
deem it competent to construct and
oporate the Nicaragua canal. The only
reason for this is the fact that the
moneyed iutersts of this country are
more directly concerned in operating
the railroads and robbing the people;
hence influence the politicians and the
press In their interest. The money re
quired in constructing the Nicaragua
canal .vould construct and equip a doa
ble track railroad from the Pacific to
the Atlantic, which, if run by the gov
ernment in the interest of the people,
would be many times over more advan
tageous to the people than would the
canal if it could be constructed for the
sum contended and would be all its
promoters claim for it, which is very
doubtful.—Tulare (Cal.) News.
He Wri Low.
“An so Arabella has gone and en
gaged herself to a low churchman? In
deed lam astonished 1 Why, she even
believes in the confessional!”
“Oh, as to that, perhaps he does too!
But I should judge that he isn't an inch
over five feet in his socks. “ —Cleveland

Cooking Down South.
A thoughtful Virginian of maturt
years undertook yesterday to explain k
me why southern people living in tht
north revert so often to the old fash'
ioned cooking; “The beanty of th<
southern family dinner lay in the sea
soning of the food to suit the taste oi
all the members of the household, in
dividually and collectively. Old Aunl
Dinah, or Aunt Sarah, or Aunt Chloe,
the cook, knew exactly from years ol
practice what each of the children liked,
what the father submitted to and what
the mistress demanded, and she ooulc
please all.
“Take, for example, a rice pudding,
one of the familiar stand bys. In tin
mixing of the ingredients Aunt Chlol
would mutter to herself: ‘Mars Willi
’e like plenty o’ cinnamon. I’ll jes pul
in ’nother little piece o’ cinnamon foi
Mars Willie. Miss Tavy she like all
spice. I’ll jet put in a little mo’ all
spice for Miss Tavy. Mars Habershaii
’e like plenty o’ cloves. I must pleas*
Mars Habby wid a little mo’ cloves.
Miss Julia she fond o’ nutmeg. Dar’s a
little mo’ nutmeg for Miss Julia. Mar
6ter ’e all right if dey’s plenty o’ rice,
an ole missus eat all de egg an milk
Dey all fond o’ reesins, an dey all like,
sugar plenty: so dar dey goes an di
puddin’s ready for de üben. ’
“She has been stirring all the tim*
for dear life, and, having looked oul
for each member of the family, the dish
is bound to be a success. ” —New York
Press.
The Woman ol 11.
The Philadelphia Record says: “Al
most the first thing a visitor does upon
entering the room in which the Declara
tion of Independence was signed is tc
add his autograph to the vast collec
tion of more than 20 years. The custo
dian of the book a few days ago, in
speaking of his experience, said: ‘Yoi
wouldn’t believe it, but we have had
only two attempts to mutilate the regis
ter or to write anything in it excepl
names and addresses, and on both o)
those occasions the culprits were wo
men.
“ ‘There’s another strange thinfc
about the visitors, ’he continued. ‘Ol
the thousands who come here the onlj
ones we have any trouble -with are th
women. We have a tape stretched acrosi
all those chairs, ’ he said, as he pointed
to a long line of ‘seats of the mighty,’
as it were —chairs of the signers—*t<
prevent people from sitting in them.
Well, one woman only yesterday want
ed ns to cut the tape for her, becausl
she claimed she was a descendant of om
of the signers and thought she had a
right to sit in his chair, and she wen
away mad when we wouldn’t make aB
exception in her case. ’ ”
Old and New,
An English newspuper contains nu
interesting parallel, discovered by 8
classical scholar. First comes a transla
tion from the original Greek of Anti
pater of Thessalonica:
Once npon a time, when a ship wag
shattered at sea, two men fell at strife,
fighting for one plank. Antagoras struck
away Pisistratus. One could not blank
him; it was for his lifa But justice
took cognizance. The other swam
ashore: but him (Antagoras) a dogfish
seized. Surely, the avenger of the fatel
rests not, even in the watery deep.
Then an incident recorded in the Lon
don Chronicle serves to translate th<
story into a modern event and to show
how life repeats itself:
Two bluejackets, named Friday ani
Painter, were capsized from a boat ai
Weymouth. After a struggle to get ink
the waterlogged boat Friday beat his
comrade off, and Painter swam ashore
Friday got into the boat and was drown
ed.
New Napoleon Letter.
The historic chateau of Malmaison is
being restored by M. Osiris, a wealthy
Napoleon worshiper. It is his intention
to turn it into a Napoleonic museum
and to present it to the state in time
for it to form one of the attractions of
the great exhibition in 1900. In repair
ing the library a very interesting find
was made in the shape of a letter from
Napoleon to Josephine, dated from the
Trianon, Aug. 15, 1813, reproaching
her with not saving money. He advises
her to put her affairs in order, not to
spend more than £60,000 a year and to
save the other £60,000. Thus in ten
years she would have accumulated a for
tune for her grandchildren. “Instead
of doing this, however, I am told,” he
continues, “that you are in debt. If
you wish to please me, take care to fill
a fat stocking. What do you suppose
would be my opinion of you if I knew
you to be in debt with an income of
8,000,000 francs a year?”—London
Chronicle*
IrrlnK Didn’t Rend.
Sir Henry Irving appeared at the
Theater Royal, Edinburgh, in 1857,
and two years later he went to Linlith
gow to give a Beading there. He was
delighted to seehis name in big letters
on the posters on arriving in the town.
He went to the hall, but there was no
crowd there—in fact, the caretaker had
not arrived, having forgotten all about
the reading. Irving went in search of
him. and things were got ready; 8:80
o’clock arrived, bnt no one came to the
hall—not even a small boy. In recalling
the incident Sir Henry was wont to
say, “I never slept better thaa I did
that night. ”
