Counsel.

Seek not to walk by borrowed light, lint to kcc-p unto thine own. Do what thou doest with all thy might

And trust thyself alone.

Work for some good, nor idly lie Within the human hive, And, though the outward man should rile,

Keep thou the heart alive.

Strive not to banish pain and doubt In pleasure's noisy din. The peace thou seelceth for without

Is only feind within.

If fortune disregard thy claim, By worth her flight attest, Nor blush nor hang the head for Bhame

When thou hast done thy best.

What thy experience teaches true Be vigilant to heed. Tho wisdom that we suffer, too,

Is wiser than a creed.

Disdain neglcct, ignore despair. On loves and friendships gone Plant thou thy feet, as on a stair,

And mount right up and on. —Alice Cary.

Change.

The changing seasons come and go, From summer'H heat to winter's snow. When laughing, dancing June is here. Wo think her best of all the year.

But when wo tiro of dance and song, Ami summer days grow dull and long, Wo glad exchange her drowsy heat For coming autumn's cool retreat.

We ever long for something now. Ambition climbs for broader view. Bo fain the boy a man would be, Then king or lord of high degree.

The summit gainvd, we look beyond. Our sun goes down whilo we despond, And darkness closes now the scene, Tho evening and the dawn between, —Stephen Marion Watson.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1.—Very little was iccomplishecl in the way of legislation restenlay, the senate working along I most of the (lay without a quorum.

I'lio house sueeeeded ill passing some Mils, two or three of wliieli were important. It determined by vote rluifc .t was praetieally nnauinums to abolish idIP oitiee of n-.ttioual gas inspector. It is likely thnr the senaro will take the same aetii:i. I All tho representatives from the gap belt favored the abolishment of the ofI lire, claiming that the rep.n-ts of I11specter Jordan have driven $1,000,000

w-nr-al out of tho slate. The man iegisiati (I out ol' o.iiee is .T. D. Leach of Kokomo recently appointed by Geologist Biatcidey. I There was a lively fight on tho boiler inspection bill, which was linally postpiiiiod for i'u rrbor discussit n. The- bill co

Tlie senate not having a quorum, did not accomplish anything further than the introduction of bills and hearing of committee reports. Much of the time I of the leigslators is now occupied in con unit tee work and in junketing. Yesterday the committee on education visited Torre Haute, the committee on prison south went to Jeft'ersonville, and the committee on benevolent instituI tions went to Knightstown. This causes I a large amount of absenteeism and makes it very difficult for either branch I to accomplish anything. Every evening the committee rooms of the capital are lighted until nearly midnight, and it is in the committee rooms that most of the more important questions are being fought over just now.

Thorn Carried Seven Years.

LOGANSI'ORT, Ind., Feb. 1.—Over seven years ago, while employed in the construction of a telephone line near Logansport, Charles Gharis fell from a pole and was literally impaled upon the thorns of a honey locust tree. With their knives, his fellow workmen cut Liim loose, and they extracted the thorns with their pincers. Their inexperience in surgery, however, led them to overlook one large thorn in their patient's leg and lie carried it in his flesh until yesterday, when it worked out by itself, over a foot from the point of entrance. It was still in excellent condition. It has caused him but little inconvenience, despite the fact that it was over an inch in length.

FINANCIAL INQUIRY.

But the financial question arose incidentally, and finally, at o'clock, Mr. Gorman launched a speech which proved to be one of the most effective lie lias delivered at the present session of congress. He pointed out the gravity of the treasury situation, intimating that the facts were being hold back and that an investigation wouVl show startling deficiencies He ddVudod the senate against charges of impotency, and declared that he had perfect faith that this great body would do its full duty before congress adjourned. He said a financial remedy would, if ne(vsavy. be added as a rider to an appropriation bill. (-'purred on by the energy. Mr. Gorman had suddenly injected into the question, the senate at once proceeded to consider and pass three, important resolutions calling on hecre!ary Carlisle for information concerning every detail bearing on revenues, reserves, deficiencies, etc.

A warm party debate occurred during the day ou the question of party extravagance. Mr. Cnandler, .Mr. Piatt and other Republican senators asserted that tho total appropriations fortius congress would roach !?!,001,000.0'0, a million, in. excess of the billion appropriated by the Fifty-first congress.

In tlie House*

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.—The house devoted six hours to the debate on the. Pacific railroad funding bill, and although the speeches on both sides were characterized by unusual earnestness, there were no marked or sensational incidents. Those who participated in the discussion were Messrs. Bowers (Rep., Vt.) and Mr. Lockwood (Dein., X. Y.) in favor of the measure, and Messrs. Boatner (Dem., La.), Snodgrass (Dem., Tenn.) and Cooper (Rep., Wis.) in opposition to it.

ACCIDENT AVERTED.

An Klevated Train 4iets Beyond Control ot tho Drakes.

BROOKLYN, Feb. 1.—An accident of a serious character was narrowly averted on the elevated road at the terminus at Ridge wood yesterday afternoon. The tracks near the depot are. covered with whore the engines take on water and one. of the trains running into the station. with more than ordinary speed could not be stopped, although the brakes were applied with full force.

The engine, with two cars, partly lined with passengers, rushed past the station and plunged with terrific force against the bulkhead at the end of the track. Fortunately there was a large piece of timber lying across the rails which the engine encountered before it struck the bulkhead. This broke the force of tho collision and saved the locomotive and cars with their passengers from plunging down into the street on top of the trolley cars that are constantly standing beneath. As it wa.s, the bulkhead was demolished and the engine left upon tho edge of the precipice just ready to topple over into the street. The passengers were thrown violently from their seats by the concussion and many were much frightened at their narrow escape.

The Greatest Obstacle Is the Kurnoose

[Copyright, isftj, by American Press Association. The fluted or irodet skirt, made with five pieces, is a won of patience, and art, but when finished, like all perfect things, it is a jny to tlie possessor. In this tho lront breadth iscut narrow, only 30 inches across lie foot of the lront piece. At tho top it measures 13 inches and is to be cut on the s'. rai-'ht, with the fold the center. There are no nails in this. The side breadths measure 34 inches each at tho

THE rr.t'TKo ou ooin-.r SKIRT WIIII I TVF I'IKCKS. bottom and 18 at the top. There is one dart in tho front part. The two XX's show where it joins the front. The hack gores are cut from the full width of 5-1 inch material, with tho front side against the selvage, with the thread straight by the line. Tlie back is slightly gored. These gores measure 2^ yards, so that tiiu skirt measures 158 inches around the bottom. The top of each hack breadth is 30 inches. The material, if of thick wool, should have been sponged and shrunken before cutting. Sewing seams up and carefully pressing ap.art are done in this skirt only after the. back portions have been lined with horsehair cloth and faced up with mohair and velutina facing, the latter 4 inches wide and the former 15. The front parts should be also interfaced around the bottom with horsehair clot, to the depth of ten inches. The.seams should be taken in very accurately and pressed until it looks as if the skirt had grown together. The placket may he on the side or in the back. Tlie se un along the bottom must, be sewed very exactly, so that when turned and pressed it. may present a straight lino all around. This skirt, like tho three piece, should be exactly the same, length all around if for walking. If for home, it may be graduated to tho desired lengt h.

When all seams are sewed and tho rest of the skirt finished, those dreadful plait1: are to be laid in. This must be done on a frame exactly adjusted to the size of the wearer. The front, breadths are fitted to the figure by gathers, which are sewed oil the belt, allowing that port ion to fit like a sheath over the hips, clear to within two inches of the center of tlie back. Then al! that supcrlluous fullness is to be gather into no more than live plaits. Some of the dressmakers arrange these plaits at I top in what, they call burnoose style, w! i- ii is really the easiest way .of disposing or them. Tho method is shown in the oia gram. As the folds take shape toward bottom the tops should be cautiously -.1 carefullv fastened to tapes to preserve
