r EEKL¥ STAR Belgium is strengthening her forti fications. This is like protecting an (.era- sl' ell with a cobweb. OO There are two married and settled men in the freshmen class of the » Universary. Their families are in Athens with them. The Alabama Legislature after having discussed the Blair bill considerable lengli, passed resolutions asking Congress to pass it. A Pleasant Plctlon. The Louisville Post says: “How styles changed since I was a girl,” said an old lady, the other evening, as she looked away down into the back of a fashionably dressed girl. ‘When I was y..ung,’ she continued, ‘we used to wear our dresses up to the neck and gloves w! tb only one button. Now they w^gr tl:o gloves up to the neck and only one button to the dress. I don’t see how a woman can retain her modesty or be innately refined if she goes in the pres- The Daily Craphicj Is the Favorite Home Journal o Refined American Families Everywhere, and the only Daily Illustrated News paper Published in the World. In capital punishment, New York talks or submitting electricty for th<* rope. They claim that a broader hu manity should give the victims a painless death. The latest attack on the surplus is a proposition to establish a home for the widows and daughters of volun teer Union soldiers in the war between the States. Like the Chinese, the surplus must go. Heman, a Chicago Socialist thinks the militia a menace to labor. The militia are a menace only to the ! abor that engages in the manufacture of dynamite bombs. • The Agricultural Society, at its late session in Americus, finally de cided to locate the State fair in Ma con permanently. The people of Pennsylvania will soon have an opport unity of voting on the prohibition question. A bill has passed both branches on the leg islature submitting the question to the people. The people of Rome don’t know whether to put their money in boom ing real estate or the Louisiana State Lottery. $15,000 was drawn there in the latter institution. Both Alabama and Tei nessee are preparing to submit the question of constitutional amendments prohibit ing the manufacture or sale of intoxi cating liquors within their limits to a vote to the people. It is said that a citizen of Georgia is living with his eighth wife. The women in his neighborhood must have been born with heavenly tempers, or perhaps his first wife trained him to fear none of the ills of earth. ’"'It is-confidentl y stated that Presi dent Clevelamt~iras instructed Sec retary Manning to resume the issue of one and two dollar notes.

Such costumes may be all very well for the ballot and prize ring fighters, but it is demoralizing for young wo-, men. My time is nearly up, but I re ally would like to come back into this world in sixty or seventy years from now, just to see how women will dress. If they keep reducing the extent of their clothes at, the same rate 1 they have in the last century, they won’t have much of anything on by that time.” lie print this as a fair specimen of talk that all are famiiiar with.

Well, there d.oestft-^eem to be any reason why a man should make a sacrifice of him self more than once. ' Gov. Richard Ogleshy, of Illinois, leads aikodd sort of life. He said the other day: “About the only business I have now besides being Gov ernor is attending the iunerals of distinguished men.” There are poll ticians who would like to be in Gov. Oglesby’s shoes, provided they could attend the funeral of distinguished men in their way for politi cal preformespt. Of course all this is but a popular fic tion; we accept it because it is iustilled into us from childhood and we don’t often bring the logic of circumstances and history to bear upon it because no one likes to raise an issue with the old folks who are so honest in their love for the bygone days and in their con tempt for these that;, are succeeding them. We drift along with our amusements and styles and habits and manage to have a pretty good time af ter all, and it is greatly to be feared that the downward turn of things has lost its terrifying power. We have beeome callous; so the old folks that preceded them used to say of /their young; and so on Indefinitely. The world is probably a little better than it was ever; it grows better every year. We must admit this or that civ ilization is a failure and the Caucasian played out. The dear old Louisville has learned so fast that she ha s forgotten. Ourportrait galleries are tell-tales and show upourgrand-moth- ers in their true light. There are white arms and plump shoulders charmingly exposed and very likely the “V” shap ed bodies were hewn out behind, also, only nobody’s back shows ip a portrait and the fact can’t be established. Then there are Godey’s old lady’s books and the ancient novels that betray the old folks again. The fact is indisputable; the young people were just as bad sixty, eighty *and a hundred years ago, as they are now. They not only had their low necked and no-sleeve dresses but they flirted and got their families in trouble sometimes, and duels were fought and men died for sneer or £ smile, as the case might have been But some old ladies, who honestly be lieve they speak the truth, who were . raised out of town or have forgotten a great deal will always remain to be ar witness against the present. Their mission is to check, just as they were checked; to instill modesty into youth ful minds, to guide just as they were guided. As they loved and revered their preceptors so do we love and re vere them. And when-ws get old we will probably hear the grown up girls of this age inveighing against the scandalous fashions that have come in since the old days of modesty and de cent covering whieh they will remem ber So well. But this feature of life is not pec id liarly feminine. By no means! , How we berate the young men for vice and precocity. | Alas and alas! Our graneb fathers smoked incessantly, chewea inveterately-and used to drink -iach other under the table. Bah! Let us not look too elosely into this matter.

Too Attractive By Far. In aschool section in Northumber land county, where a young lady is engaged as a teacher, theie has been quite a dispute as to whether it would be prhdent to re-engage her or not. It was claimed that she had too many admires of the ' opposite sex, and that the section had thus been de prived of her time that should been spent in the discharge of her duties as a teacher. Accordicgly, at school meeting, the trustees had an agree ment drawn up to the effect that she should not keep company during the coming year with any man duiing school hours, as her undivided time should be devoted to the school. Up on her refusing re sign this agreement it was decided to leave it to a vote of the meeting as to whether she should be compelled to sign it to A show of hands was Emm wortnae, resulted in a tie, when the chairman being a.young man, gave the casting v.,te in her iuvor.—Toronto Globe.
