That s what they give Kldr Hrown's boy when h at Paris green an' it fetched him out all right. I'll fii some an' we'll try it on her." Mrs. Ward had found some eggs and was breaking them Into a bowi and separating the whites from thyelks. Mrs Smith ground almost a rupful of enffaa and dumped it Into the coffee pot, which was still sin ruering on the store from dinner titm Mrs. Perkins groaned by spells, and now and then showed symptoms of spasms.

the civil war originated und'-r Republican rule and developed und' i lO-pun-llran legislation The panic of l6u Mlark Friday he great panic maik-;-l b the failut- of Jay Cooke & Co . in September. 17:. the .anic of 1S':'; all commenced wh-n th.- Republican party was In power, and that party Mone Is responsible for the financial a.id economical legislation, and must th refore take the blame for those busin ss depressions. The contention of the Republicans that the panic of lsij should be charged to Cleveland's administration has no historical truth, for its first indications were given November 11, iv), about 18 months after the inauguration of President Harrison, and just after the McKinley tariff bill became a law. Wh. n President Cleveland went out of office. March 4, 1889, there was an available cash balance in the Catted Sta'.-s -reasury of $273,II :7: Four years after, when President Harrison retired. March 4, 18!3. the treasury books showed but $125,630, 7 2' available cash. Hut that available balance was arrived at by a change In the system of bookkeeping, and on the same methods as tie books were kept under the Cleveland and prior administrations would show a deficit. The Cnited States treasury' w as virtually bankrupt on February' 25. 1813. only a few days before the Democrats took charge of the government Baa-

" I don't take any stock in mustard tea n' eggs Coffees my remedy. Swaller it all right down. Mis Perkins." It was ail Mrs Perkins could do to s'vallow down the great bowlful of bitter coffee, but she finally succeed ed in doing so. "I feel's if I was all floating up inside." she said presently. "I can t hardly breatt.e. I guess 1 won t last lotig now. Dear roe! It's such an aw ful feelin !" There was another arrival at this juncture, Mr. Stevens appeared on the scene. "I saw Downey ridln' to town fast as he could make his horse go. an he said Mis Perkins had took p'ison. "

said the newcomer, so I run right

ruary 25, 189:1. said: "If I eliminated these items now (federal deposits on national banks and subsidiary coin, etc.! there would be a showing of deficit " This evidence will be found in house report No. 2t'21. Fifty-second congn-ss, second session. Thus Secretary Shaw convicts his own party of being responsible for all the panics, for the financial and economic legislation in operation at the time these panics originated was enacted by the Republican party and when the McKinley and other high tariff laws were ln operation, which are reputed by the Republican standpatters to produce prosperity Now, the Democrats claim, and history proves their contention, that a

high tariff does produce prosperity for the trusts, which are fostered and

protected by the tariff, but such pro-

tectlon to the monopolists also re suits in high prices which the people have to pay. These high prices and

"The doctor's comln"" cried Mr Stevens "Downey must ha' come acrost him some'rs on the road. He hain't had time to get to the village An' here conies the young uns." Dr. Spooner came bustling in.

the ieople cannot spend what they do not get. As incomes and wages have not Increased in projMirtion to prices we now suffer from strikes in an attempt to even up income and outgo. The high price of all commodities also requires more money to do business, and although there is a constantly increasing volume per capita. In consequence of the enlarged production of gold, yet the Inflation is not enough to finance the trusts and corporations with their enormous capitalization which is augmented by hundreds of millions annually. St) we are now suffering from money stringency and a panic ln Wall srreet, which is alnady adversely affecting business and may become more acute hy October.

The dog days seem to have 1 . , a quieting effect on Republican aspirants for th" presidency Kven Oyster Ray ha? developed a lack of strenuousness and the newspaper correspondents there have resorted to take stoffta of nature faking.

Honeit Dealings, or Political Hevoto tion Certain. It is la the courts that reforms and revolution usually start. The gruat Knglish revaltttkM "f IMt started with tag ship mom ) case, in which John Hampden restated the unlawful tax Imposed on carts and carriage - h Cfesrlei tit First. The An., r M revolution of 176 started with the prosecution of certain men in Huston for resisting Tlth arm In their hands certain etfMM of George the Third. The French revolution really started as a practical movement with the refusal of the parliament of Paris, tho highest law court In France, to register a tax which had been decreed by the French king And finally our own gr. a mil war was pnxiueed mainly by the Dred Scott decision rendered by the supreme court of the Doited States It is Judicial resistanc. m usurjation. rather than legislative programmes, that produces effec tlve popular resistance Where the Judiciary fs independent, as it is in the states of the union at this time, the people follow the judges. Dut where the JadVOg are partisans or known IfHds ot towerful interests, th.y rebel That Is why one great legal controversy arouses the public more than any or all the dehnte in legislatures and all the harangues if mm Hirers and spell-binders. Haaet the Importance of the North Carolina controversy over the rate law of that state. The people despise the Federal judges appointed bf Koo.sevelt at the behest of cor j -orations, and respect the judges elect.., i ,y themselves. They will not yield to usurped authority so long as the have leaders whom they can sately trust. The time ha, therefore, come when e arc sure to have either reform or a political revolution. Let the administration take warning.

Reduced Railroad Rates. The question of railroad rates, either fixed by the states on transportation within the state, or fixed by the United St. .1. on interstate business, must eventually rnme before tho Halted States supreme rourt on the TKsTion of constitutionality The pressing issue is whether the rate reductions shall go into effect at once, or by injunction issued by the lower federal courts be postponed until each case is reached and is decided by the highest court. This matter of the railroads being able to take advantage of all the laws delays was the contention of the Democrats when the railroad rate bill was being discussed In the senate, and the Culberson amendment, which the Republicans defeated was intended to cure that de feet in the law Regarding the same delay under state legislation the question is one of state rights, and whether the reduced rates can be held up ! the injunction of an inferior federal court issued by a judge In evident sympathy with the rail roads, when the natural ordr of pro cedure would be that the case should go to the state supreme court and thence to the Cnited States supreme court In the North Carolina cases the railroads were forced by Gov. Glenn to acknowledge the supremacy of state courts and the reduced rate has already gone into effect.

Way to Lessen Great Evils. The New York Journal of Com meree estimates that tourists and travelers from our shores to Europe spend llOo.noo.OOO annually, beyond the seas, and now the Hanks are complaining of tight money is a good

time to consider how this and other

drains on our resource.- can he put a

stop to. This extravagance must in the coume of years tend greatly to

enrich Kurope while iniovcrishing

this country And there are two other

things also tending in the same direction One is that the heiresses of this country' are constantly marrying titled Europeans and transferring vast fortunes from this continent to Kurope in that way American money ts used to buy worthless counts, such as Moni Castellane, and the only return for It Is in the fom of scandal Another way in which American money Is being rapidly transferred to Kurope without any real return for it is found In the counter-current of emigration.

WATCH FOR MITTEN SLEEVE.

Promises to Be Generally Worn on Autumn Frocks.

The short sleeve fail has been car ried to the point of caricature and has had a Ion career So some change is due. and while the short sleeve will unquestionably be much worn throughout the summer and will always have its place for certain types of dress, it seems probable that we shall see the mitten sleeve upon a great many of the dressy frocks In the autumn. The upper part of the new sleeve is usually But little changed, though some lovely sleeve designs are ln such sheer material as chiffon or net finely tucked In horizontal lines along the Inner arm down to a point Just below the elbow and fall ln a drooping clinging pufT so far down, while below the elbow the sleeve fits closely and some form of short cap or kimono drapery forms an outer sleeve Even wb.cn the sleeve ts short the tucked and soft falling sheer puff is liked The best of the new tailored frocks show a disposition toward long sleeves

Velvet Ribbon Is a Vogue.

Velvet ribbons were never used so much as this season, for. besides being a favorite hat trimming, the Jumper fashion has been the means of util izing endless yards. Lovejoy jumpers of velvet in two. or perhaps three.

widths can be made at home even by unskilled fingers if one will only watch the models on exhibition in any of the large stores. Velvet ribbon is not cheap, therefore it goes without saying that these pret ty bodices are quite expensive bought ready for wear, but made at home the cost could be lesseii. il one half, t'n-le-black is chosen the ribbon should be of the same color as the skirt to be worn with it, the blouse being generally white or a light color. Raveled Fringe in Style. Raveled frinsre Is a novelty that has been introduced rather late in the season, with a view to its amplification of vogue In the coming autumn, it

h.is even assay.. I to produce a good effect upon muslin dresses, though Its proper sphere is most obviously the edging of a silk coat or the bordering of a parasol. A muslin robe of striped green anil lavender coloring trinimei! with two bands of lavender silk raveled at the edges, and k di-ep purple taffeta gown, completed hy a very old world looking flschu of green silk with the edges pinked and raveled, ai" twi instances of the new modes demonstration.

Then Instead oj putting a ruffle on the bottom of the chemise work a deeper scallop. Of nightdresses a variety of styles is shown, and any of these can be cop led with the aid of a plain nlghtdres pattern. Whichever design is chosen, mark off on the pattern the shape thai the trimming takes, and do the worh from that I)o all tucking In the Ions, part of the garment, ar well as every other place, before any cutting Is done The chemise nightdresses have a biai seam down the middle back, put to g. ther by the narrowest French bead ing. The woman Inclined to be stoul who will persist In wearing her clothw strained tightly across her ample pro portions cannot be feeling happy this season The kimono waist certain ly Is the last thing in the world tc please her, and all the quaint, pie turesque capes and boleroed walstt must distress her dreadfully, while a; for the wraps, they are voluminous tc a degree; and even when one is ex tremely thin the modern cloak has what might be called a Btouten'ng effect. But if the large woman be wise she will remember that the long lines now In favor really are kind to her As for the severely close cut fit. it is the greatest mistake fleshy people can make, especially as they nevet will allow of an "easy one," but et ery thing has to be taken in until It has arrived at the point of splitting. If she only would remember it, fuller draperies at least leave the onlooker to wonder whether the fashionable all houette. and not too solid flesh, is responsible. Tight fitting clothes leave no room for doubt.

TO KEEP HAIR-BRUSH CLEAN.

Case of Embroidered Linen Pretty and Serviceable. A pretty case of embroidered linen, like the one shown in the sketch, will keep a hair brush clean for a long time, and is useful also when traveling. It should be made in a good full shape, edged with silk cord, and

drawn up with ribbons round the handle of the brush, so that It may be hung on a corner of the hniking glass. In cream linen, embroidered with

pink roses and tied with p!nk ribbons, this ease would loHc very prettv. Or

it might be made in pale blue linen, with the roses and the ribbon In white, or in any other colors to harmonize with the curtains or the general decoration of the room.

Lace on Everything. Never was lace mote us.-d It Is

rarely put on plain. Heine incrusteil with festoons of flowers cut from pom

padour taffetas or rmiillr Haas, and set to the stuff of which the gown is made There are quantities of nar row valencienne ruffle, of vaporous chiffons, bands of dyed guipure ami Irlande lace, needlework and ruch

Ings. all nre employed in order to affect variety.

Outdoor Gloves. The ever increasing feminine love of outdoor sports has brought ujnm the market many models In golfing, drlv ing and walking gloves, to say noth Ing of several varieties of motor gaunt let. This latter is most popular when fashioned of buckskin, with leather palms, and ma be had In most of the shades of gray and tan a6 well as black and white. The favorite golfing glove Is In tan or gray ventilated doeskin closely fitted to the wrist by elastic which keeps tho glove in position, while leaving the hand entirely free A good driving glove may be pur chased either with or without gauntlet and Is somethlm; on the lines of the golfing glove. Mag k. pt taut at the wrist by means of a strap, leaving the hand quite loose.

New Jabots. As regards collars there i$ nothli really new The deep turnover collar of embroidered llnon with knotted tie or the neatest of bows are aTected and a novelty for silk and muslin shirts are jabots of Irish lawn embroidered with fans of lawn pllsso on either side of the front, the ends being of spotted foulard edged with lace. This combination la effective and others not less attractive an made of muslin and Irish on 1 . t lac which Is much used In th fashioning of lingerie as well as Jubotj. Take Care of the Veil. Never leave the Veil tied round a hat. for it soon becomes Wretched, limp and soiled looking. I'npln ft when the ba' Is remov d, shake It. take It at the two :uU aud roll It round and round, then place away ia s box or piece of tfaeaa paper.
