THE WOMAN'S COLUMN. Yr. ;McDsf y Iiphirj to Eis Wife tis Datiea of a Jury.

Oar Grandmothers' Names Do Not bo Anooyed by Gossip Hlj Mother's Bible Concerning Woman. Sir, McDuffy Explains to Big Wife The Duties ot s Jury. "When are they evergoins to get through with that conspiracy case, LIr. HcDuffj?" as feed his wife as he sat down to dinner the other evening. "Get through with it?" eald Mr. Daffy In surprise, "Why, it has been oyer for two weeks." "Has it, indeed," said she. "What did they dor' "Nothing," he replied, "the jury hung." "You don't say so; and I never heard of it before. I thought all the time they were going to hang the conspirators. Who hung the jury?" "They hung themselves, woman," growled McDuffy." "How dreadful! Did they hang each other or commit suicide?'' "Thunder and lightning ! Can't you understand anything?" roared McDurTy. Oh, don't be profane, dear, I've read all the headlines ia the newspaper?, and have been so interested in the case you know, but I don't quite understand the law. If you would only tell me about it" "Well, then," explained her husband: "Juries are composed of twelve men who are selected with great care. They must be unacquainted with the case, so that they may be able to render an impartial decision. They are placed in the box" "In the box? What kind of a box?" "In the jury box. Did you suppose it was a band box or a match box?" "Do they box them seperately or" "They pack them in oil like sardines," said McDufTy, savagely, "and when you take take them out you squeeze some lern on juice " "Now don't get sarcastic, Mr. McDuffy. I understand the boxing part of it; go on please." "Well, after they have listened to the evidence and pleading and have been charged by tie judge " "Why I thought it was the lawyers who did the charging," interrupted his wife. "Will you keep quiet? After the charge Is delivered, they are locked up" "rocked up! Those innocent men that didn't know any thins: about it locked up? No wonder they killed themselves, poor things." "Great heavens! " gisped McDuffy. "There, there, dear, don't swear. I'll not cay another word. I understand it perfectly. Its jut t like men ; the mean thing?. Some ot them got mad because McGargle got out of a bath tub, and the rest got mad because they could'nt get Sim Coy into a bath tub, and some of them want to get Camahan. Say, Mr. McDuffy, what has a bath tub got to do with a there, don't swear, I understand it, but just wait until the women make the laws. We'll just hang I mean we wont hang I mean Mr. McDuffy I wish you would bring me two spools of white thread and a yard more of cross-barred jaconet for baby's dress. Here, little twootsy-wootsy, kiss papa before he goes." Oar Grandmothers' Names. In a list of marriages in Belfast town which occurred from 1774 to 1814 inclusive, the names of the men are the familiar John, James, Henry, William, eta, of today, but there are not a half dozen of the women's names that we ever hear spoken at the present day. There are but fortyfive Christian names used among the 112 girls mentioned, and are such as Daborab, Xtziab, Frecilla, Suannah, Abigail and Mehitable. They, like the old-fashioned ball dress, and high-heeled slippers that figured in society in those days, have been laid away. There is a decided move, upon the part of sensible people, to return to the good substantial names for woman, and do away with the Grade, Daisy, Ruby, Maudie, Fearlie, and the lorg list of "ies" so common in every household. It is not an unusual thing to hear little ones called by euch names as Margaret, Elizabeth or Harriet, among a certain class of people today. An excellent reason for renouncing the fancy and sentimental appellations is that when a baby is named, we have no possible idea of the kind of a woman she will make, and as a general thing, the Lillles prove -to be dark and freckled, and the Roses, by any other name would give evidence of better taste. The Graces are often the most awkward of girls, and the Daisys are frequently not the modest flower whose name they bear. Another difficulty Is, that you never know who a girl is going to marry, and like the sentimental Mrs. Kcse, who named her baby "Wild," be; cause the two names formed such a pretty combination was broken-hearted when her daughter married a man named Bull. Let us return to the good old names by all means. Do Net be Annoyed by OoMlp. People will talk, you know. You can't help It, and it is useless to waste your energy in that direction. If you listen to all that is said as you go along, you will get through the world, doubtless, but at a very low rate. There are meddlesome tongues that have nothing else to do, and to listen to them will keep you worried and fretted continually. If you are quiet and modest, there are some who will say that such a disposition is merel assumed, and you are a wolf In fiheep'i clothing. II you are noble, generous and honest, they'll call you a rogue in some sneaking way that is exaspeiatJrg, but keep ccol and let them Ulk, If you have an inclination to stand up bravely and take your own part, they will any that you are bold, conceited and valo, and If yon prefer to suffer imposition rather than evince the former disposition, they'll call you a coward, but keep right abead, as you think best, and let them talk. If you dress fashionably, they'll wonder where you got the money, and say you are living beyond your means, and if yen pay little attention to dresi they'll say jou axe careless, slovenly and lazy. So it

goes in every case yon might mention. The best way to do is to do what you think to be right in short, do as you please. Yon will meet with all sorts of abuse, but brace up and don't notice It, for people will talk, you know.

His Mather's Bible. lPost-DIspatch. A happier surprise ia seldom experienced than that which came to the young man wbo last 8unday led the afternoon meeting at Twelfth and Market streets under the auspices of the Open Air Mission. He seemed to speak with usususl power, and though his eye searched his little audience closely to catch the look of repentance or the smile of hope, he did not notice the quiet-faced lady who was watching him with an intensity of gaza that ssemed born of a sudden recognition. When the meeting was over, the young man was about to go, when the lady advanced to him, and after asking a few questions, a sudden light came into her face. The leader saw it and said: "So you have found grace at last?" "No," said the woman as her face, framed with the silver hair, grew strangely tender, "I fonnd that long ago, bat I have found to-day something almost as good. I thought as I saw you preaching that you boked very much like the little child who thirty years ago stood with me by the bedside of his dying mother. I was her friend. I lost sight of him after that day, and though I have long wished to see him, I could find no traje cf the boy. From your answers to my questions I know now you are he, and I want to tell you I have your mother's bible, which she left with me for you. It wai ia reading that book that I became converted, a quarter of a century ago. I have held It all these years for you. It still has the book-mark her dying hands placed between the leaves. I want you to come home with me and get it," And so the young and old went out together, with tears upon the face of each. The young man has the book now, and he loves to tell his co-laborers in the vineyard what a day last Sunday was to him, and bow the almost forgotten face of his mother shines out from the page3 of the old book. A Suggestion to the Council. A city council of women in Indianapolis would keep the sidewalks in repair, and the streets swept clean, and among the numberles improvements would convert the Walnut Street canal I between Liberty andNoble) Into a graded street. It would be a wicked blow tothe boys who wade and sail their boats therein, and to the brisk and vit orous mosquitoes that sun themselves about this picturesque spot, and whet their appetites for their nightly feast, but they could all go down to ''Mrs. Hooligin's duck pond" with the Journal reporter, and the health of the pale and sad eyed citizens of that locality, would be restored. An Evening Scene. ' A pleasant picture that meets the eye during in evening drive through our beautiful streets is a view of the front doors andpiszzts of those people who stay at home during the summer months. In some cases the front door serves the purpose, in others chairs are added. If there are tiees,a hammock or two, well freighted, adds to the beauty of the scene. Some are engaged in quiet conversation, are entertaining merry young people, and here and there bursts forth the joyous laugh and happy voices of the children. It is a pleasant picture to look upon, and we remain in the belief that as a summer resort Indianapolis Is superior to some localities to which a number of our citizens have gone to spend the heated term. Goncernlsg Women, Mrs. Cleveland is sitting to a sculptor at Marion, Maas. Mrs. Julia A. Moore, better known as " the sweet singer of Michigan," is postmaster in Wexford county of that State. llrr. Crawford, the well-known Paris correspondent, is the beat paid woman journalist in the world. She earns $10,000 year. Mir s Julia Valdejo, of Peoria, who had traveled several times around the world in rafety, was killed ia the terrible Chatsworth disaster. The World's Woman Temperance Union has set apart November 12 and 13 as days ot prayer for the success of the temperance work. Mrs. Herbert, the cafeleptic, of Joliet, I I., is attracting great attention. She has been asleep for 224 days, having only twice during that time opened her eyes. Manuel Barriant and wife, of Matamoras, Tex., recently celebrated the eigh'ieth anniversary of their wedding. The husband is 102 and the wife 0C years of age. The agitation for a reform garb for womon was created by Mme. Yalsayre, a popular bnt eccentric woman of Taris and is meeting with much encouragement. The young woman who has been such an attraction to ex-Senator Junes of FlorIda Miss Palms of Detroit has rone to Europe to escape his persistent woolog. Two St. Louis girls recently horsewhipped a young man who had made an uncomplimentary remark about them until the blood streamed from numerous wounds on his face and head. The literary department of the Woman's Exhibit, tobe held In Chicago next month, ask that all woman authors shall sen their addresses and their books for exhibition to Dr. Alice Stockbain. Mary Chilton waa the first woman to set her foot on Plymouth Kock in 1G20. She has a large number of kindred in the town of Hillsdale. N. Y., who never tire of tell ing how their illustrious ancestor set down her foot The Princess Pignatale is now a waiter girl in a second-class Yienna cafe. She quarreled with her noble relatives last winter and tried life in a London music hall for a brief period previous to her present engagement. An Ohio lew declares that the husband ii the head of the family. The Toledo Blade moves to amend by Inserting the word "nominal" before "head," which would bring the law in accord with the facta and recognize the Ohio woman's pe

culiar privilige of leading her husband

around by the ncsa. Oa the 12th of the present month, Mrs. Asenath Miller celebrathe her 100;h birthday at the residence of her son-in-law J. 8. Hampton, at St. Charles, Ilia. She was two years old when Washington was first inaugurated President, and was born in the same year with the constitution of the United States. Mr. Mary Smith, a professional beggar died in the city hespital in Boston. The apartment from which she had been removed the day before, was found to be miserably filthy and Inhabited by rats. Two old mattrasses and some ragged clothing was about all the room contained, and concealed in these rags was money and bonds to the amount of $7,000, which was turned over to the police authorities. Mrs. James Potter Brown and husband have separated. She will remain upon the stage and he will continue his business at tie old stand. This is the culmination of the serial that was commenced by thejreadlrg of "Ostler Joe" by Mrs. Potter in a fashionable drawing room two years ago. A cable letter to the New York Herald says that her new play is no better than its predecessors, but that her wardrobe is astounding, and that if mlllenery can make a feeble play suong, or ectin great, Mrs. Potter's fame is assured. MID-SUMMER STYLES. Novelties In Dresses, Hats, Jewelry and Ialnty Trifles. Roman scarfs and sashes are again in fash ion. Large leghorn hats are very popular in the country. The ruby just now is the most fashion able precious stone. Foulard is one of the most serviceable stuffs for summer wear. Tiny vinaigrettes are favorite attach ments to porte ponneur bracelets. Poplinette is a favorite material in En gland, especially in string color. The narrow frivolite ribbon is much used in Paris for trimming dresses and bonnets. Gold and silver belt buckles, with a glove buttcner attachment, are pretty and con venient. A 10-cent palm leaf fan adorned with $20 worth of painting is the fashionable zephyr compeller. Amber has become fashionable and some of the amber jewelry now made is really very handsome. The old-fashioned "Swiss belt" in beius and velvet is becoming a favorite form of garniture again. The pale green formerly known as "eau da Nil" is in favor again under a new name, "Baitique." White satin Tom o' 6 banters, with rack ets embroidered on them, are the proper bead-gear for tennis. Niagara blue is a .new color. It is a sort of compromise between "peacock" blue and "serpent" green. Flower bonnets aie still in favor One curious fancy is to have a single, large sun flower form the crown. Colored straw bonnets to match dresses are worn. They are generally of the rough straw known as "nutmeg." "Wash" dresses this year are very pretty, bnt altogether to elaborate to be submitted to the laundress with safety. A pretty boating costume is made of gray serge trimmed with alternate black cord and oxidized silver braid. A curious freak of fashion is the revival of the old fashion of wearing miniature portriats in lockets, brooches and bracelets. We read of a Grreco-Japanese costume as being in favor in England. The imagination shrinks from the task of trying to picture such a combination. Hand-painted complexions do not seem to find favor at the watering places this summer. The weather is too warm lor this aoit of art to be permanent. Four folds of black and white silk muslin make a pretty substitute for rushing to be worn in the neck cf a morning frock The white is set next to the skin. Silver flat-irons are novel favors for the German. They excite much curiosity among their fair recipients, who always wonder what they are intended to represent. Changeable silk parasols are very pretty, but when the sun shines upon them they cast blue and yellow reflections on the bearer's face, to the detriment of her good looks. A new style of drapery is made by arranging the backs of the skirts very gracefully in the form of a large bow. This novel style is also carried out in various materials for ball gowns. There is an attempt to bring large jewelled shoe-buckles into fashion. It will probably fail, because these ornaments have the effect of making the most fairjlike foot look simply enormous. For fishing and yachting no gown is found as serviceable as dark-blue flannel, trimmed In any way that best suits the wearer's taste. Dark -red velvet belt, cuffs and rolling collar are often seen. A hat that ia like a breath of country air is f oi med of battledore braiding, lined with red and trimmed with daisies, cowslips, dandelions and clover leaves and blossoms in white, pink and purple. .rashiohable Newport women have taken to wearing white muslin gowns having natural flowers sewed all over the skirts. They are exceedingly useful and inexpensive dresses, as anybody will see. Fancy shoes In great variety are now made for wearing on the seashore. Quilted linen and silk and colored leather are the chief materials selected for that purpose, and light blue and yellow the favorite colors. The sleeves of dresses are undergoing a wonderful change; puff and Vandykes, and Insertions, with high epaulets, characterize many of them, and it is no longer necessary that they shordd match kthe bodice. Red Is not so fashionable for country wear as it was. Most coin try places are infested with cows, and their interest in the wearers of flannel red dresses has rend ered such garments qutte unpopular. A very novel style of waistcoat is of red velvet with a shield-shaded opening, to be filled in with white silk, the effect produced being precisely that of a man's evening waistcoat. It is becoming onlytOTery slender women.

AMONG THE POETS,

The Trouble at Sandy Flat. Dakota Bell.l He'd jca' come down from Boarin' Bun, he told tbebo.shemet, An' he'd come down to wade in blood an' heva time, you bet: Fer he'a fceered the Flat were some on fight an' thoot an kill, An that they kinder blewed arroand they thought be'd get bis flU: Eat he allowed 'twould jes' be fan, Ter Ewii'g crroand a ten-inch gun ; An' learn 'em all to hev respect lor men from Boarlu' Kun. He explained he were a cyclone as could tear an' nort an' rip He'd then perceed to do it all el they gave him any lip; That when ne fit he al'ays come a sweepln' like a gale, An' ef he had an enemy he camped tight on his trail ; An' that they'd say he weighed a ton About the time the tight begun, An' that Harner 'a Peak were on 'em when they'd done with itoarin' Ban. He stepped up to a feller as he 'lowed 'u'd make a tite, An' slapped bim ose, he said, "tez inaugurate the fight;" But the cues ha swung a billiard cue that knocked him on the floor, An' then he kicked him through the screen as ttood up by the door; An' then they 'lowed the fight were done, About the time that it beguu. An, the terror scooted up the gulch that led towards Koarin' Bun. 'Zeklel'a Infidelity.
