A diifrcuchistd tax-payer rises to inquire why members c! the Legislature are allowed Kiliane at tha rate of twenty cent3 per mile, while railroad fare i3 but Icnr cents. The Cleveland Leader givoa a highly commendatory report ol Mrs. Mary L Heggart's rcent addresj in that city ca woman saffrsjrs. The meeting via held under tbe auspices of tha Western Hcestts Club, and was attended by about tiro :hcusr.nd perSccitcr Thompson has introduced a bill for the better education and instruction ol convicts. It provides that tha ''moral instructor." now appcintad by the wardens and directors shall render service daily instead ol weelly ca is now tha case, that Is normt convicts shall be given secular education as well 3 spiritual instruction, and that the instructor may be a woman. The senator :i anxious that a woman ehould te appointed in at least one of the prisons, for tha reaooa that "the cortening and refining influence o! woman is letter than scourging the back with a cat o' nine tails." Dobilesa tilts ia all true, but there's a difLcnltyin th way. Yili not this woman rncrat ia3tri:ctor," who comes in daily contact with a penitentiary full of convicts be in almctt as sreat danger of being subjected to unpleasant associations and of becoming contaminated as if she should go to the polls and vote or as if she should sit in the Legislature and help znake the laws by which she ia governed? In a report of the work in the vomtn's rfipaiiment of the Exposition, the New OrJaics rieayanc sayi: Mrs. il erriet, Southern Vice President, ftid Mrs. Josephine Nichols, et Indianapolis, wre scperin tending the arrangement of tha "Wcian3 Christian Temperanca Union square in the center of the department yesterday morning. Mrs. Nichols, a lovely aa! cultured woman, is a prominent member of the National Temperance Union, being President of the 'department of State and county fairs, hundreds of which she hus attended and arranged temperance exhibits. Hrj. Nichota says that the chief feature of the temptrance exhibit in the Exposition will, cecessarily be literature, and that thousands of pounds of temreancs literature, leaflets, etc., will be given away. Coolers f ice water will als3 be provided for the refreshment of these who pass. In this connection Mrs. Nichols is making effort to have drinking fountains established i a the buildings. At present there ire none, and the temperance women will not sare'y rest cntil this want has been supplied even if they have to put up drinking foaatains themselYCS. As a public lecturer. Mary A. LIvermore has eerved her day and generation well. She has terved it well in other captcities, but by her platform work she will probably be best remembered. Every vrlnter, except the year spent abroad, for nearly twenty years, he has traveled far and wide and filled long r fries cf lecture ei gagements & severe test of physical endurance as well at of mental breadth. Her themes have been many, her worda aa helpful a? they were eloquent. Her vo!ce has been lifted up in behalf of every good cause the advancement of women, of temperance, of education, of every humanitarian enterprise, 8 he has taught mothers how to teach their sons and daughters, inspired girls to higher standards of womanhood and to wider fields of usefulBest, and encouraged tired housekeepers and tcld them of happier and more simple modes of Ii vir g. In the helpfulness and supgesti ?eset 8 Of her lectures, in her wonderful aid ever-ready resources cf learn in?, experience and observation, aad in her gift of vivid word-paintiug xsay be found the secret of her perennial succesa and interest. T7ben last year, Mrs. LIvermore cime before the public with her new lecture con cernicg the evidences -of immortality outside of revelation the evidences a Horded by the natural law of demand and supply, by the longings and aspirations of the human soul in all its grades of development, and by the whispers reaching listening, straining ears from the in risible beyond it teemed as though this, the most thougatf a!, subtle and introspective of all her lyceuta utterances, might prove her crowning effort. "While the public hoptd to greet her on numerous occasions, it scarcely expected another entirely new theme it were fitting that the series should be completed with a ser xl' on. But in telling the story of Wendell Philips and his times, in becoming the platform historian of one of the bitterest struggles and one of the gnadest characters of the age, in paying tender tribute to an honored, beloved co-worker, Mrs. Livermoie is prob ably rendering her best service to her day and generation. Young America needs to be told and old America reminded of the anti-slavery battle and cf its heroes. It is well to bury sectional animosities, to "clasp hands asross the bloooy chasm," to forgive, but it not well to forget the horrors and cruelties, the intolerance and pexsecutions of the old slavery data, or the ccurage and sacrifices of tne abolitionist. It is not wise that Birney and Lovejoy, Garrison and Phillips should bare me as myths; yet our school children are better acquainted with Cassius and Caesar, wtb Cromwell and Bonapart. An understanding of the origin, growth and downfall of American slavery inspires faith in the -vitality of the Republic The worst abas! reformer cf to-day will take courage when he compares his lot with that of Garrison, and the philanthropist who considers the man bought and sold a quarter of a century go, but recognized as a citizen and a peer to-day,may have hope even tor the eleyatioa cf the vicious, the criminal, the tramps, the orfrcourings of every race and nationality. In her delineation of the life and characier cf Wendell Phillipe. Mrs. LIvermore inculcates other lessons still more orejy needed, Manhood more than womanhood to-day needs to be educsted to a high erandard, inspired te lofty endeavor. Tne girl cf the period," with all her follies and weaknesses, promises better as a rule in evry grade from news girl to college graduate than the boy of the period in a corresponding grade. There doubtlesi is some truth in the outcry about the moral deterioration of girls of certain classes, if it exists it is not to be wondered at. The sins of the fithers re visited upon the daughters as well as c pen the eons, it is not out of tKe order of human nature it girls turn liberty into license and indnlge inherited appetitss. The effort that has tauh; girls t? be selfreliant nd self supporting, inspired them to seek education, caltare and occupation, eacouraged them to become physlciius. minislr. . anthers, artists, attorney?, in brief thst eCort that has cauied the wonder fnl development of wouanhool within a xsccaty tried, needs novrtobs directed to-

ird the evolution cf a finer, cleaner typs oi iLSliboCd. As becks and Mowers, beautifal pictures snd artistic surroundings exert a redoing JcCaence, so do the pjrtraval aad praise of lofty character and heroic deeds etir the nobler impulEes of the soul -to emulation. Would that course, truthfulness, purity and devotion to principle as exemplified in the life of vVendall Phillips, were preached from every pulpit, taught in every school, praised in every coc!al circle. With many it is a step gained when thev are convinced of tha disuses of such a ncble chartctcr. A hott o! women have no finer conception of mauhcod tharutbataffordsd ty the cocrse, self sb, profsne. falsifying and leceo men with whom birth aod circumstance Layc associated them. A best of üen havs no hicber ideal than the cheap sacces3 won Ly the sabiervicace of principle to policy ar.d trickery, th.ia the zrosz pleasures oi gratified selLsbnesj aad appetite. There are husbands and wives to rrhem the s cry of Wendell Phillips' voided lifo is a revelation cf aa existence exalted beyond their ken : huEbaads who regard home aad rcarriage as only a place and a relation for tta indulgence of their selCabness, low desires and tyranny wives towhoicitfce enly recompense o! maniare is the dercoof provision for material want? that it atforia. Wherever Mis. Liverraore teib the story of Wendeil Thilips' home life, of his rare leveforhis wife a hopeless invalid from girlhood of his never failing consideration, courtesy and tenderness through all their jesrj together, of hia unswerving loyalty to his vows, o! his constant efforts to maze her days easier and brighter, always regarding her Lcd3 and claims as more imperative than any call from friends or the public whenever this is told in Mn Livermores' vivid word?, there .sre women who listen with tortured feearts, from whose souls cornea comes this cry, "for such love, ouch marriage, pveh manhood. I could dare and do all thing1;, endure all ; hardships, poverty, sickness, suffering, sorrow, and yet feel infinitely blessed." It ia the ideal of which they dreamed, hoped for, sought for, believed ttat they had foundj and bitferest of all disappointments caiesed. Having missed that, life is robbed of its sweetest hope,labor of its best inspiration. Wherever Mrs. LIvermore tells this story of noble living she puts before young men a high ideal of manhood and marriage to strive after; before young women the same hieb, ideal to expect and require. The strength, manliness, and virility of Wendell Phillips' nature are unquestioned. He was a man, vigorous, harmoniously developed, with the physique of a Greek Apollo, with the brain force of a Jupiter "full-summed in all his powers" yet he had neither .sowing nor harvest of "wild oats." His life gives the lie to the shameless assumption that virility and purity are incompatible. "Hero worship" is not amiss when the hero is worthy. It is natural to the young, it stimulates to sublime purpose and hign endeavor. The mother who would haye her ecrs become something better than dudes" and "bloods" would do well to enshrine on the heme walls a portrait of Wendell Phillip, the dauntless, the truthful, the eelf-sac-rificicg, the lover of humanity, the leader in the struggle for liberty, the hero who ltitghcd at persecution and mobs, the modem Sir Galahad "Wtoee strength was as (he strength oi ten, B caiue bis beait was pure." Early Day or the Woman Suffrage Movement In Indiana. (Extract from a paper read by Mrs. Sarah E, Franklin, of Anderson, at the State Convention at Kokomo.l The f rat Woman Suffrage Convention in Inui&na was held in Dublin, Wayne County, October 29, 1831 more than thirty-three years since. The brave women who issued the call were Amanda M. Way and Fanny Hiatt. They were seconded by a loving friend of equal rights, Joel Davis, "without whose countenance, and support I never could have endured and gone thorugh with what I did," said Miss Way. At that time she was twenty-Eve years old, and engaged in teaching school and taking care of the motherless children of her sister. I only mention this as she was an able representative of that class cf women, who It was said were ungexing themselves. Upon Miss Way devolved the dreaded task of opening the meeting, which she did in a fearless manner by stating the object of the Convention to be a full diccussiou of the legal and social position of woman. She thsn read a letter from Dr. M&ry- F. Thomas, of North Manchester, now city physician of Richmond, Ind., who urged the believers of equal rights to press forward and claim a place in the trades and professions. The first object of the Woman's J- esociation was to open up avenues that women might have employment and receive equal wages for equal labor with man. It was useless at that time for women to ask for the came wages as men, though they submitted to the same requirements in trades and professions aa men. Still it was argued that a man was more valuable than a woman who does the same work, and for that reason should command better pay. It was also e&erted that man to some extent sacrificed his independence of action in employing women to do men's work, and men lowered their dignity by working with women. About this time I was awakened to the injustico done to women in regard to wages, and when I asked why I received but half the wajes of my husband when my cartiricate was just like his and I was required to perform the same labar, the only answer I received was that he was a man, thus putting a premium on sex. I commence! a fight. I had an excellent letter of recammsudation from the only female college in the United States, besides my certificate from the examiner of the puDlic schools. The director was anxious I should teach, and he eaid he would advance the salary from $15 to $20 per month. I said "no, my husband gets $33.1-3, and I do the same amount and quality of work he does " In a few days he came back offering me $25, an advance of $10, aay ing it was the best he could do as he had to hght the other two directors to get that. I soon heard of what the Indiana women were doing and wrote to them. When the community wis thoroughly aroused to the audacity of the women, . there came the hue and cry, that the men would be thrown out of employment and wages would be lowered, just as they talk about the Chinese new. Frightened by their husbands, married women joined in the opposition, aad said their children would starve because their husbands could get no work. Oae editor said gang of long-legged old maids were running around the country inciting insurrection, and discontent among the women. When the first convention was organizud; on the first morning after the assembling of the crowd, Hannah Hiat was elected president, Jane Morrow vice-president, Mary It. Birdsall secretary, and Amanda M. .Way treasurer. Posters were immediately teat out announcing that a woman would lecture that night. The opposition also came out with carricatures aad great capital letters, saying: "A hen will try to crow to night," "The worsen haye unsexed themselves." "Gabriel sound the trump! ! !" If you want to know the public sentiment ia regard to woman's equality search the files of the Indianapolis Journal and Sentinel from 1S51 to 1859, and you will fiad some interesting reading. You wU be surprised to know that the women had the courage and endurance to wade through S3 much opposition. You know how the mm in the Holy Skriptur ws enjoined to count the cost whether he could aCord to meet an army of ten thousand men, with an army of one thousand men. The wcueo, though not one to ten,

Lave counted the cost and for thirty yess one entire generanon hav i;i mu it tat influence which being ones nvakeael it powerful to rrointain, notw ithstanding the Immerse disadvantages to which thc7 hare been subjected. They have Lai to overcome habit, custom, and public opinion and submit to such restrictions that It"i3 no wonder that every boy as he yells like a Comanche Indian, is clad he is not a girl. You younger women have but l.ttlo cenceptien of th ridicule, vituperation aad diseasing epithets applied to the nooie pioneers, who read fn the Declaraticn of Independence that "Taxation without representation is tyranny " This convention featod ton days, and ws. 3 among the first in the United States. It was through this association oranired at that time that the agitaticn wuj kept up which resulted in the demands of the wo Ran for property, educational and industrial rights. When the free schools were r;nt organized they were made with reference to boys. It was argued that a3 boys were to be the rules cf this greet and free government boys ought to bo educated in order to be able governers. Women were not allowed to teach in the public schools, as they were supported by public fends, and men by virtue of their sex were entitled to public moneys. How absurd thet reasoning seems now. Truly as one has said the nineteenth century will be the middle cf history, with its universal activity, and unusual restlessness, its currents end counter currents, its progress and reaction. Among the enterprising spirits cf the early weman reformation was Fwobert Dale Owen who made a demand in the Legislature, that it pais laws aecuriDg to women the property they received by inheritance, Two preachers opposed the measure saying ":f wives had possession of their property their husbands cculd not control them and if things did not suit the women, they wculd take tbeir property and set up for themselves." Preachers though they were they must have bad terrible women for thir wives, or they were of the Carlyie stripe, who maintained man must be supreme ruler at whatever ccst or else were bachelors, and bz.d not learned perfect love casteth out fear. Mr. Owen's bill was passed however, and another link was rivited in favor of equal rights. On the 19th of January, 1859, the first petition was presented to the Legislature by Mrs. Agnes Cook, who briefly invited a candid consideration of the subject. Dr. Mary F. Thomas read a petition signed by more than a thousand women to pass laws giving equal property rights to married women and to take the necessary steps to amend the State Constitution so as to enfranchise women. She claimed these rights then as now cn the grounds of absolute justice. Mrs. Mary Birdsall followed with a clear, concise argument, occupying about half an hour. The petition and the addresses were referred to the "Committee of E'ghts and Privileges," which reported that Legislation on this subject is inexpedient at this time." Except during the War the Indiana Woman SuffrageAssociation has met yearly at d the woman auftrage sentiment is so rife that were it not for the ignorant and vicious elements the women cfcur State wculd take an active part in politics. By our own j eople the capacities of women are well undeistood and when one sees the vast cnarges in the position of women for the better, it is impossible not to hope for batter things in the futnTe. To quote from Oar Herald ; "In Indiana but a short time ago a wife had no right to her own earnings. She might go out and work all day, her hraband could follow and coilct her wages, by law they rightfully belonged to him. A woman could make no will, could engage in no business, she could not sue or be sued, eha could male no contract, she could do no legal act. "The continual struggle of women for jastice and for room in which to grow and act has caused our legislators to remove the bonds of those barbarous laws and recognize woman as an equal partner in the great struggle of life. At the present time in Indiana the laws In regard to man and woman as to property, crime, wills, contracts, etc, stand very nearly on an equal footing, an exception being In the cate of widows, who receive but one-third of the real estate, and so much personal property, must suffer tho inconvenience of unjust appraisement, sales, etc., while the husband upon the death of his wife, lives on uninterrupted by outside authority. But this relic of unjust legislation, lite all others, must soon be erased from our statute bcoks. Many years can not pass by before our legislators will recognize that the home and claims of the wife upon the death of her husband must be as sacred and free from intrusion, a 3 is now the case of the husband upon the death of his wife."

Healtk and Comfort for Girl. Juliet Corton. In Harper's Bazar. 1 The enjoyment ol poysicai comiorlis such a matter of course with the majority of American women in easy circumstances that they seldom think how far it may eventually be effected by their daily habits. The idea of following any definite system of living for the purpose of insuring sound health is a most novel one to most of our young girls; in fact, some actual annoyance of illness is frequently the first call their attention has in this direction. Bat ser-ain modifications of careless habits of diet, exercise and dress, easily made, result naturally in the substitution of an absolutely sanitary existence for one weighted down with unhcalthful condition?. Without seeking to curtail youth of its ioyousness, let us see how far, under the conditions which prevail in the lives of many of our girls, it can be passed as the natural prelude to a vigorous and happy maturity. First, in regard to diet, whilo those who are in society are becoming wise in regard to certain plats, probably under the guidance cf some amused gourmand, or having caught some point of training from their athletic friends, with bome-keeping girls there is a degree of indifference to food aad drink never found among men of their own age and class; they literally take no heed of what they shall eat and drink If they have any.preferenca, it lies usually in the way cf sweets, confectionery, cake, and pastry, and, tor substantial fare, bread and butter and tea frequently make up the delicate limit. They may not thrive upon such food, even although all the chances of youth are in their favor, especially if they are engaged in hard study; but they do not realize the fact, and a wof ul physical future is theirs unless some caretaker is by to remind them that the powers of body and mind flourish simultaneously, and that physical recuperation must go on equally with the expenditure of vital energy. Women, at any period of life, while they need liberal diet, do not require the same kind of food as men; a vigorous man, ecgeped in any pursuit which insures him plenty of out door exercise, can digest and assimilate almost every known aliment; but, like men who lead sedentary lives, women require food whica is both nutritious and digestible. For instance, mutton, poultry, and game are preferable to beef, veal, and fresh pork; salads and succulent vegetables, such as lettuce, celery, asparagus, spinach, and tomatoes', are more suitable than the edible roots and leguminous varieties; red-blooded fisb, such as trout, salmon, and sturgeon, may with advantage occasionally replace meat; and plain puddings, made with milk and suet, are more wholesome desserts than rich cakeb and pistry; gosd milk, pure water, and light wines are better beverages for women than strong tea and coffee. At breakfast tea should not be taken, because it retards assimilation of nutriment at the time when the system is in most need of immediate refreshment. Warm tea and coffee are popular breakfast drinks because they impart a sense of comfort directly they are taken, on account of their stimulating properties; of the two, coffee is the lest objectionable especially if it is made with much milk, in the French way; but cocoa, chocolate, and warm milk are far more wholescme, because they combine nouriihment with warmth and agreeable flavor If there is any lack cf appetite, a cup of hot milk or chocolate should be taken immediately upon riling; short exercise in the open air, if the weather is fine, or a light gymnastic exercise for about five minutes, should follow. This course will usually give rise to a natural desire for food, unless there Is some illness pending, in which case a physician's care is needed. The breakfast ehculd consist of milk, cocoa, or chooclata as a drink, and some light dish of egS, filsa, or meat, tccether with bread meat or toast and fruit When this indisposition to breakfast exists the food taken in the evening should be very digestible and not excessive, and the sleeping apartment 'should be thoroughly ventilated. Tbe arrangement of the sleeping room has much to do with the health of tbe occupant. If aa is generally the case at boardin g-echools, the room is occupied more or less during the day, it should be thoroughly aired before bed-time, and the windows left open far ecouch to insure a cupply of fresh air during the r.Ipht; even in winter the rule should be followed, and plenty of blankets used to ktep tbe sleeper comfortably warm. Bith appetite acd complexion largely depend up

on alnndacce of fresh air in the sleeping apartment. The breakfast of school girls is the iu3-t important meal of the day ; not only hive tbey to replace in the biood the natrhive elemects.which have been assimulated during the night to meet the demand of growth and development, but they must provide for the activity cf mind and body which their daily tasks impose upon them. It is an old faying that a boy is "always hungry; it is equally true that if a girl is not hungry at least thiee tims a day, she is in same wrong physical condition. The unnatural appetites ,wLich Eorr.etirceB prevail among girls for picklc-s, chalk, slate-pencils, scd like queer fare, olwaj s iudicata a rrvertc-d Etate of the eyfctfcg, ti nt should be promptly investigated by the physician. Kxtrtnif? of ofcesttv ad leanness, unless they are fau.ily characteristics, are indicative of a diljrbtd physical balance. Obesity may result from an ill-regulated diet as well as from cheating. While snpertiuous rourisbnient is stored up in the system in the form of fat, a similar condition may be caused by ti e undoe excess of starch and stearin the fc A, so that the appearance may seem to iLdictte high health when in fact tbe need; of the body are imperfectly met. The appetite of girls often inclines them to the use of bread and butter and sweete rather than to a mixed diet. The remedy in this case would be an intelligent explanation to them of the need of the system for th:s mixed diet of meat, vegetables, and farinaceous food, the scant use or entire avoidance of tea and cofiee, combined with abundant out-dcorexeicue arid active games weich favor tbe inciease of appctita. Where there is a hereditary tendency to obesity, plenty cf exercise eaoald De taken persistently, and tie food should consist of the lean treats, poultry, game, red-blooded fish, fruit, aud the snccnlent vegetables. The vegetables which contain an exces3 of starch and sugar, such as potatoes, beets, parsnips, and carrots, should be avoided, together with fresh white bread, pastry, cake3, aud sweets in general. All anti-fat remedies should te strict-forbidden, as should every extreme dietetic measure. The drinKing of vineear is almost suicidal; even the comparatively moderate Banting system Bhould Lotbe followed except under a physician's direction. When leanness accompanies the Ute cf an abundant and yaried diet, and the generalhealthisfalr.it does not indicate any unfavorable state; on the contrary, the capacity for exercise is increased, and the physical balance is in favor of resistance to disease. When leanness is the result of an attack of illness, of impaired cr faulty nutrition, or of overwork, the remedy is to be soupht in the use of abundance of digestible and nutritious food of a varied character, a mcdeiate degree of exercise and plenty of sleep. Now that the literature of physical culture is on the increase, it has become a promising field for individual experiment; following it under intelligent guidance, the general health is benefitted, and in special instances definite results can be effected. It has taken its place as a recognized feature in the education of young women aa tending to the more perfect and equal development of mind and &Ld body. Of course the muscular exercise it Involves should be so graded as to avoid ever-taxing the strength; therefore, where' there is any tendency to illness it falls as properly under the direction of the physician as the administration of medicine. The growing popularity of oat-door life with our girls and voung women is gradually stamping tbem with that physical superiority co-ordinate with the capicity for ail the enjoyment in liymg natural to their sex. The sanitary valued baths is acknowledged, and has already been discussed in the Bazar, eo that here It is only necessary to remind the reader that different forms ol the bath produce different eifectJ, tue cold bath being tonic, and requiring suflicient vigor to insure reaction from the first shock it occasions, the relaxing effect of the warm bath making it necessary to guard against taking cold after it. Any excess in the use of the Russien or Turkish bath is to be avoided, especially where there is a tendency to heartd'sesse. The use of all baths favors a free action of the skin, and as a matter of course when the akin is absolutely clean the complexion is improved. The use cf aromatic waters, oils, and perfumes in the bath is desirable from a Eanitary point of view as weil as a matter of physical luxury. Aromatic odors are to a degree disinfectant, acd all agreeable perfumes have a more or less toothing eHectupon the nervous eystem.

FASHION AS IT FJLIS3. Hew Fancies Hosiery Beys' Clothing. Tnere Is a revival of taste for the delicate aeslhetio colors, and the new jerseys are crcught out in these shades. Mushroom Is a favorite color, and handcome dresses and mantles are to be had in mushroom plush, Muffs are made to match every dress. At a very elegant "german" recently, a tall, slender blende wore a dress of black velvet, with a full white lace waist coat, which was barred across with black velvet straps, fastenea by tiny diamond buttons. No flowers or ether ornaments ware worn, except a diamond arrow in her hair. Ths latest novelty in imported evening bonnets is a butterfly bonnet, the border of which falls like small wings on each Etde of the head. It is made of chenille, satin, or velvet, and trimmed in front or at tha side with feathers, put on in larga clusters. Instead cf the time-honored orange flower wreath, brides now wear the veil fastened with several large diamond or Rhine crystal pins, the orange flowers forming bouquets wherewith to loop the draperies or adorn the ccrsage only. To the floral garnitures for the toilet are now added tiny little bouquets of blossoms and vines mingled with lace, which are fastened to the sleeve just above the elbow where half -long sleeves are worn this, of course, in evening dress. A quaint toilet is created after the Dagmar dress, designed for the Empress of Russia; it is of plain laurel green velvet; the skirt has but two pleats five times double at the back. The bodice is crossed in front, bn; the dress opens from the waist line to show a fourreaa skirt of pleated silk, and the top the very close-fitting bodice ia slightly open to show a plastron of the same rich silk still more finely pleated than the skirt. A bordor of green silk passementerie goes round the sides and foot of the skirt, this trimming being outlined by silver, and the fronts of the bodice are trimmed in the same manner. H3SIEP.Y. A plain-spoken Paris lady writes to an English magazine: There ia very little new in hosiery this year, except that the black dyes are really fast now, and ths i manufacturers have been' turning their attention to making tbe hose durable as well as goo! looking, hence very many of them are spliced and have double heels, so that you can wear thoes without any fear cf the top3 catting at the back of the ankle,, cr of toes poking through before their time. Laced stockings have oeen brought out, and are liked by those who object to garters, and who have not yet adopted suspenders. The front of the stocking is slit from the top U the knee, strengthened by a facing, and laced with a smooth lacing-string. Thi3 lacing prevents the stocking from slipping down, at the same time causing it to fit neatly above tha knee. Plain colored stockings, exactly matching the dress, are the mo3t fashionable, some plain wove, some ribbed, but this year the rib3 are wider. Still open-rib and elaborately embroidered stcckia?3 are worn by those who can afford them, especially w'ith shoes. If you want a good-wearing wooUn stocking, get one made of alapaca wool, wiry, light, warm, end strong- If you desire to match a dress, and not tace a g;eit deal cf wear cut of them, there is a new make cf cheap, cure. Silk stockings, brought out in all colors. Balbrigsao, woolen, silk, ar.d spun are the choics of stockings for winter wear.

Harper's Bazar says: Boys Jfrorn four to seven years of age wear kilt suits with very full pleated skirts and jackets that are shaped into the figure more clcseJy than those worn by larger boys. The sitgle-breasted iacktt is lastened by five buttons, and is cut away below. It has patch pockets on the sides, a slit for a breast pocket, and has no collar, as it is to be worn with a large linen collar either round or in sailor shape. The side pleat3 of the kilt are narrower then they have been of late, and tbe front wide apace may be trimmed in cross rc.s of braid eitner of silk or mohair. For beit suits are velveteens, or else diagoLai or corkscrew cloths, in very dark bins, brown, crtcn, or dahlia shades, or black. Etisight iiDesof braid of two widths may follow the edges of the lower pirt of jackets cf these suiü, aud extend up two side seams with curves at the top, while in front they are in crorwise rows in military style. For eery-dey suits there are Scotch Cheviots, checked English cassimeres, and French cloths in fancy plaids, with some plain colored twilb that are either drab, gray, brown, cr ether quiet color, with fiat braid bindings and no other crnaments. Small abort trousers cf the material are used with tne Jtilt tkirtacf larger boys, but drawers are preferred with tne first ailt skirts, and the kilt must be quite long, so that only the dark stock in pa a; e seen above the buttoned shoes. Shirt vtaltts are worn bv bays until they r.re eleven jeais of age, and these nave a wide linen codar that comes over the jicket, six or eight tucks or box pleats in trout and back, and a belt which is sewed on outside an eighth of a yard above the edge, on which are eighi buttens corresponding to eight buttonholes inside the belt of the kilt. Long blrek. brown er blue ribbed stockings and buttoned or laced shoes without heels are wem by these little fellows. A large colored cravat bow is worn, and is held in placo b? an elastic that passes under the collar. Polo caps and jockey caps with visor and a round crown of six gores with a button in the center are made of the velveteen or cloth of their suits. Overcoats to wear with kilt suits are very long Newmarket shapes reach

ing below the calf. They are double breasted, and buttoned to the neck with two collars, tbe upper collar of velvet and the second one of the cloth of the coat. They are made of plain castor beavers, of brown, blue or dahlia shades. suits with short trousers. Suits with short trousers put on boys seven cr eight years, of age are made of rough Scotch goods in crvss bars of gray, bine and stylish yellow-brown shades, also French caesimeres of blue-green checks, and Scotch homespuns that have a melange of colors and a very rough surface. Belted blouses are etylieh for such suits, and are made with two or three box pleats in front and back. The belts can be taken off, as tbJy are only passed through straps on the site seams and buttoned in front, aud a leather belt of light color may be substituted. For boys only seven or eight years old there blouses button stiaight to the neck, and are worn with a large linen collar, but for older boys they have a small notched collar like.that on men's morning ccats. The short trousers come just below the knees, are straight (that is, not gathered), and have three horn buttons with eyes on the outside seam at its end. For the smallest boys these trousers open on the sides, while for larger boys they are buttoned in fiont Jackets to wear with the first ehort trousers gre made similar to these worn with kilt skir's, that is, they are single breasted, and have two back forms with a dart beginning in the armholes, bat the back forms are straighter, so as to fit clcsely to tbe figure. At the rge of nine years boys attain the dignity of vests, and their jackets have a narrow rolled collar, which may be plain, or else faced with silk; the edges of euch jackets are bound, but the sleeves are rcereiy stitcked; the pockets have flaps. The tests have no collars, aud the trousers are plain, unless a bread stripe of braid is down the outside seam. Their long Newmarket overcoats of the atylish yellow-brown cloths have the short waist defined by two buttons, and are open belew these down the middle of the back. Peajackets are worn by boys from seven to twelve years cf age, either over a jacket for greater warmth, or elce they are the only ccat worn. These are short, round, doublebressted jackets that button to the neck, and have a velvet collar and bound edges. They a:e made of chinchilla. Elysian, or far teavers. A NOISY SPECULATIVE HARK ET. TbKt Goes Up and Down With All Kinds of Komori, and Closes Nearly the Same as a Week Ajo-Corn More Steady. Special to the Sentinel. Chicago, Jan. 17. Daring the past week tbe volume of business in tbe speculative pits on 'Change baa again been very heavy. All interest centers in wheat, which bu ruled active and irregular. Fach day tbe great crowd has smarmed into the pit and cent np a continuous roar that could be heard two blocks away. Trices started out weak, owing to the free realizing byli&c, DaTenport and other big "lone." Then as soon is the decline was started it was helael aioaz by the active dumping ol the many little fellows who bad taken hold at the top and could cot stand a sag. Even a half million bushels decrease ntheTlsitle supply aid not appear to have any effect on the selling movement, principally because the footings of tbe Secretary's report vsere just above what everybody had figured on and they had been discounted belorenand. tables were weak and the Kortbwest said that fanners' deliveries there were increasing rapidly. Exporters, too, were said to be doing nothing and some lots already taken were reported resold, "There's more wheat in the country than tbe country baa any earthly use for." was how a prominent and constitutional "bear" explained the decline, SUM many thought the reaction a healthy one.

It was noticed, made no bad breaks and eated off steadily as if tired by haviaz bsea pushed up so rapidly, and although immense quantities of wheat were told, somebody took it all, and the fact that it did not coene out again showed tbat it tad gone into strong hand. Sid Kent's name was given by many buying brokers, and Baxter (supposed to be acting for Armour) purchased a number of good sized parcels. Hence, after the crowd bad sold all It wanted to and worked quotations down something like ic, these who attempted to take profits fouua there wts no grain ior sale. So they bid pricetup on csch ott er and bid them up so fast that many sales were covered at a loss. The storm of snow wh:chitvraa anticipated would act as a blanket for the winter wheat plan channel to sleet and rain, and Kansas and Ml?ouri leported the fields corered with Ice. Tne feeling at the close, however, 1 feverish. Public and private cable advices are conflicting. Minneapolis millers are said to have advanced their prices in order to stOD all Northwestern wheat there and many conservative men believe that a combination hss been forme! by strong parties here to manipulate prices upward. On the other hand, the number of recent failurea, and the fact that general business Is not picking up at all en anticipated, tends to ahake the confidence of the bulls.
