They were not dried up and tallow-laced like mot show girU - tht v were fat and .lump. I wish you could have st-en ibem. When we used to go to t-he shows together in days long passed a way. John, the f'irls wore tights with a nice long skirt ovei bavt the old to the show where the ballot girl was so neatly dressed, but now the girls have discarded the little ham skirts and comes in tights alone. No one seemed to be particularly sorry that he or shf went where the girls c&niw out in their up-to-date costume all seemed happy. I went with a pretty girl myself and she seemed to stand the scenes all right. I got used to it in a few minutes. Toe girls were young and healthy look iing. John, the times are oadly cut of joint. . When we were young all was well. The girls were all pret y and a poor boy could marry a poor girl and the mind flowed eay and the heart run light. It is not true now. The poor giris are all too independent. They are lot king out for self support, and the rich girl looks too high. There is a de plorable custom that is getting good tooting in this section now. No matter where you go, no' matter what tho occasion, you see nature's beauty -work despoiltd by the paint box. You may take the prettiest girl in the state and she will add a little paint or powder. For why 1 cannat say. Women were made to catch man, but this device certainly dots i.ot meet the approval of any well balanced mind, whether it be in single or married man. AH the same the.prt dice has become gener al. The law of natural selection teaehes that in all anim -Is bew man the female does the selecting, oi :bemate. L the case of mn the liiale dots the selecting, that is why Woman i prettier ihan man. S;ie is made to charm.- Berchaun csiuse her to be seieted In the cas of lower animais the male is the prettier, btcaui-e the female doei the selecting. Tuke f-r example tb fowls or any oihei animal you plese. That is" why women by" iVlinct use powder. They fear that the nat ural charm is not sutficieut. Bat they make a sad mistake. Delivei us Irom a powered woman. She is an abomination iu the stght of man Let her come out in her original beauty and she wiil be admired and loved. Let her come out young and painted and. she will be shuned and despised. John, I hope you are having good luck with your girl, if you are get ting on well with her I know that your life is gocd and pure. When in New Yoiksorne time ago. I aw her. She is a beautiful womau with a big heart and a bright mind. She eerus to think a great deal of you. T know now whv vou have been so true and loyal to all that is good and upright keep" it up. To love a erood woman is the greatest bles- that this world affords. If she ! re, urn l ho much ihe better. When a woman knows that the s loved by a man she should be migh iv caretul for fear of ruining bim She should consider him well before him off. It will be best tor both if she can return his love but if she finds it impos sible, there is a way to get out and not hurt the unfortunate man. These things will do to res ftect on. You bad better thank your Mak er, John, that; you are in a distant iand. Things politically are in a dirty condition in this couutry. I wish I had 'the mighty deeo be tween America and myself for sev eral years at least. Ibere is but one place that I can look to with nride and that is my father's home. It is Htill Democratic, but all the mm. of mv places of refuge have irnne to the enemy. The county comes nst to the home. The Pop ulists and Republicans got the state Senator and one member of the House. Think of si;ch a down fall. The S-ate went Republican, and Daniel L. Russell, ot Wilmington, wiil hold the fort next term. In some places tht- negro thinks- he is nn inn. In some counties all the magistrates elected are colored. How does that strike you? . But, John, the Democrats will learn lesson by and by. When ycu foo with a dog you get fleas, when you monkey with the rear end of a mule you get hurt so when Democrats bend the knee to" the Populist some thing is bound to drop. So it did in the last election. Senator Butler, to day with a ftw thousand men at his J . T-r back, is running our state, lie is nut a man to be takcu in by any bowing and boot-iickiog.

Ot mor importance than the ele gance of your dining room, the room in which no one in a bad temper should be allowed, is the daintiness thereof. Never allow one smtJl trom your kitchen to penetrate to t he dining room; it will tend to make the loveliest imaginable din ing room commonplace and gross Our Southern cousins found th s out long sgo, and detached their kitchens from their houses.. For the walls of your dining room, old blue, old rose, gray green, and clear yellow are suitable colors, the color selected being, of course, de termined upon by tho exposure of the room. Ihe window draperies should in winter show warmth of color; in Bummer they should be airy and light, simple muslin, frilled, be ing as attractive as anything. Some people inherit, or pick up in interesting ways, old mahogany or cherry furniture for their . dining rooms. In effect these woods are tar and away richer than oak and ihe lighter colored wood?, about which there is a too shiny newness. Black walnut is to be restored to tull favor, and very soon, justly enough. In this room should be the largest fireplace the' house boasts, with a broad natural wood mantel. A high-backed wooden settle should be by tbis fireplace; the settle carved, presumably, by plies of the substantial necessaries I the hostess or her artistic d.iugb fjlife of their own production.

The. breeders of pure bied hogs are producing a lyptT or hog that grows large quickly and carries sufficient fleh at any agi to be mar ketable at top prices at any age from four months up. And if you will watch a party of up-to-date farmers at a sale of registeaed hog, you will find them buying closely the type last named, looking alter even the minor parts, avoiding the swirl, stiff ears, narrow tace, light jowls, bud colors, crushed feet and limbs, contracted cb st, -etc. Did we say minor parts? Not by any manner ol means. iThe behind the times farmer may sj designate them, but- the smart one accepts them as so many evi dences of inferior quality, and the, evidences of the desired feeding and growing qualities is what he is es pecially after. Why then should he not. use the type that accomplishes best results in thi hand ot the breed er? i . A Chicken Story, Philadelphia Record. Rather a pathetic story comes from a small town . on the outskirts of Philadelphia, ihe truthfulness of which is vouch d tor by a promi nent citiz-n of the place. An ex tensive chiCKen raiser some ume since set a favorite hen upon a nest eges, expecting them to batch in the usual period of three weeks. Three, four and fiye weeks passed and ho-chickens, and it was not ter. Then there should be , a quaint corner-cupboard (homemade and band-carved, preferably) for the bits of old obina, and a cabinet for your cut glass and choicest modern china. On a very narrow shelf or molding, just above the wainscoting, edged with a narrow grill work of wood, the ealad set, dessert service, or the collection of deft may be ar ranged,' with the same satisfaction as the cotter's wife arranges her bits of pottery on her plate rack and with the same security, likewise, the grill work preventing the china fiora tobogganing to the floor. - Thi a&tntr idea. trr tfcro wbtt H have seen carried out with good tf tect in the library of a woman in disputabiy artistic. There was a length ot the molding or shelving between two window, a longer one trom one side of the fireplace angle to the coiner ot the room, and an other corner. On these . narrow moldings were arranged, with ex cellent taste, a collection of Indian pottery, a few rare books and prints and one or two small paintings pictures in which tbere was infinite detail, the beauty of whiah would have been lost bad the paintings been hung. . Do not hang the walls of your dining room with realistic represen tations of a fruiterer's eta.il and a nRstrv cook's window. There was a time, but that was very long ago, when this was the very thing de creed correct; but it is no longer done by people of good taste. Do not let your dining table stand "set" from morning till night and from night till morning. In spite of many brushes and trays. It is cer tain to lose its daintiness, and upon the daintiness of the table appoint ments we must insist; and quite as strongly, too, as upon table man ners.

Afew per tect roses in a clear glass ca-e, some j aneies iu a flu dish, a bowl of mig nonette, flowers that mean some thing to you individually, should be chosen. But the flowers and the water in the vase must be perfectly fresh always. The very pnsttieet centiepUce for the table I haves en in the way ot growing pianis, was a Mot? cabin" arrangement ot mossy twigs in which mai 'enhair, and small lady arns were growing, just as they were when lilted from their Dative nook in the cool, green w ood. A contrast to tbis was another fern arrangement on an elegantly laid dinner thble. It was a big, beauti ful fern from an "expensive florist, and the jardiniere in which it was growing did not come from a dollar .tore. This was in tbe oentre of the dinner table, and it effected a total eclipse of the host from me through out the meal and of the hostct-s from ihe other guests present, who was her vis-a-vis.

Hart, a well-known sports man, had an exciting experience with a mountain Hon theother day. Moun taim lions are very scarce in his region of the Adirondack, and inconsequence areseldomseen. These animals frequent the most inaccessible parts of . the mountains. During the day they keep in hiding, but as soon a twilight falls they wander forth in search of prey. Mr. Hart had been in this region more than a week before his adventure with the lion occurred. About 8 o'clock one evening he left his lodge on Signal mountatnmountaln, a part of the Adi rondack chain, and, gun in hand, start ed out without any definite purpose in. view other than to shoot at any wild game that he might see. The full moon hung high in the cloudless heavens and shone forth with brilliant splendor. The night was almost as clear as day on the mountains, save here and there where the heavy branches' of some giant tree threw dense shadows across the wide trail. . For more than an. hour Mr. Hart maniiTei about the trail. He. saw no game. OcciuutrimJHj--. Hordj-ha shrill cry of some wild animal. The cnes were never near but always faint and distant. Becoming weary of walking:. Mr. Hart stopped ana leanea againen. tree to rest. He stood in shadow. Be fore him lay the trail as clearly de fined in the bright moonlight as a wo man road. . . Mr. Hart had been leaning . galnst the tree about 10 minutes, whan he heard an animal chrashins through the undergrowth. The next moment a tnagnificent mountain lion sprang Into the trail. He tossed his head back ana sniffed the air suspiciously the air su Diclously. Quickly Mr. Hart raised hia Apple Jells Cake. One cupful ot gun and fired at the Hon.- The bau FF.L ' rL,...- struck the animal on the side pf the head and knocked him over. ThinKina that he had killed the lion,' he rashly stepped into the trail. M In an Instant the animal bounded to its feet and prepared to spring at the hunter. The man who tackles a moun tain lion must be bold of heart and un erringofaim. , .. ' ' " Quick as he was to level his rifle again, the lion was quicker. With a ferocious growl It leaped through tbe oir mil niitrhtd udoii Hart's shoulders. The plucky hunter measured his length in the trail, bis gun discharging itself, in th" air. For a moment Hart lay la the dust. The lion's eyes blazed wildly its hot breath fanned his face. A move on Hart's part would have meant instant death. He kept as still" as a CAgTOHTW. face to fsc?, to be pure; and the ebeckmatiug of that fine fern proved to be tucb violent exercise that it became a hateful "thing before the bringing on of tbe second, coai se.
