Miss Nannie M. Briggs, who delivered the address and read a poem written by ber mother, Mrs. Maury E. Briggs, ®n "Pioneers and Old Settlers' Day," celebrated recently at Burlington, la., to commemorate the semicentennial of the statehood of Iowa, is everywhere known as'' the Granddaughter of Iowa.''

Miss Briggs is the granddaughter of Ansel Briggs, Iowa's first governor, and on this account was invited to participate in the celebration. Theyoong lady is a Nebraskan by birth, first having seen the light of day in Omaha Maroh

Miss'NAsneriE m. biu&gb.

S7, 187G. On her father's side she is of Scotch-Irish ancestry. Her father is the only living descendant of Ansel and .Nancy M. Dnnlap Briggs, who was a daughter of Major Qeorge W. Dnnlap, an officer of the war of 1813. Miss Briggs was a precocious child and a diligent student. Much of her time when not in school was spent in travel. She was a graduate of the class of '94 of the Omaha High school and has Bince continued the studies of French, German and ninsio.

The poem which she read and of which her mother is the author was critieir by Longfellow just prior to his death. Thun doubly endeared to her, •he dedicated it to the pioneer lawmakers of I' wa. —Burlington Cor. St Louis Republic.

Waves and Curls of Hair.

Women are dressing their hair as much

t.s

ever in the mode of the figure

8, finished with a Psyohe knot. The hair about the face is puffed out over •mall combs, to whioh are sometimes attached tho fluffy "waddings" which make it puff look thiok and rich, for womon, it is whispered, are beginning to wour false hair again, and even "rolls," or stuffing, to augment their own looks.

The pompadour aureole is worn, provided it is becoming, and, if the shape of the faoo forbids it, it is contrived in a modified form, and soft little rings of hair avo arranged about tho brow and temples. For most women some kind of "bang" is indispensable. It should not be forgotten tlint it softens the lines so often seen in women past their girlhood. When cut and curled with an artistic sense, the outline of the hair on the brow brings out every feature of the face to tho best advantage*.

Curls are muoh in evidence—ourls falling over or beneath flat braids and ooils ntthe back of tho head curls peeping out coquottishly behind the left ear or drooping low on one sido of the nook ringlets, glossy, smooth, round like a cylinder and capable of "bobbing" in enMiantiug fashion with each movement of the owner's bead.

Whether for Btreet or evening toilet, the hair is worn moderately low. In no case does it tower above the forehead, as formerly. Far back,' on the very crown of the 3 ead, is the center of the coiffure. And the tresses must be waved—waved and crimped all over the head to give the loc-, unstudied, yet pleasing, effect no much sought. Gloss and smoothness are desirable, and curling irons are denounced for oonstant use, as the heat dries up the natural oil and renders the hair brittle and liable to premature graynesa.

All kinds of oontrivanoes are used for producing the requisite wave and crimp. "Crimpers" have charming little ribbons attachod as fastenings, so arranged that madam looks quite as captivating in her crimping pins as when in full regalia. A golden head with bewitch ing little blue bowl dotted all over it or ebon locks cased in orange or crimson crimpers are really far from unbecoming.

Every woman wears her grandmother's tortoise shell comb, or one just as nearly like it as she can buy. Gold and silver combs or combs with cut steel headings make a pretty circlet or half mood of brightness against dark or auburn locks. —Philadelphia Times.

The Right of Women to Speak In Church. At the recent meeting of the ministers belonging to tho Reformed church the Rev. Dr. James Crawford read a paper on "8t Paul's Teaching In Regard to Women Speaking In Church. The doctor considered this important problem under three heads—first, the right of women to speak in meeting second, the impropriety of women speaking in church third, why is it right in the one ease and improper in the other? Then be proceeded to answer the question, "How shall we reconcile St Paul"« yea with St Paul's nay?"

In the first place, said Dr. Crawford, it must be light for women to speak on ^certain occasions because it is conceded to be proper by the apostle. When be say*, "Every woman that prayeth or proph*«ieth with her bead uncovered site diaboaorNth ber head," be concedes feer right to do so under condition*. He is simply arguing about a right and wxonf w*jr i» «be

mam

with her head covered, it is right if she speaks with her head uncovered, it is wrong. He gives several reasons. Roman Catholic and Protestant churches admit the right of women to exercise their gifts in public assemblages wider this restriction.

Upon the second point—as to women keeping silent in church—the apostle is explicit and emphatic: "Let your women keep silence in the churches." "But I suffer not a woman to teach nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." "It is a shame for women to speak in church."

How shall we reconcile St. Paul with 8t. Paul? The reconciliation is to be found in the difference between "a public assemblage" and "the church." Sunday school, missionary, prayer and young people's meetings are, in a way, public assemblages. They are voluntary —not representative—without any official authority. In some respects they are more private than public, being attended by only a few instead of all the church. We may put them upon the same plane as social gatherings.

It is no more proper to restrict freedom of speech to women in these religious meetings than to restrict their speech in social gatherings. "The ohurch," however, is a different sort of organization. The minister is an offioial person and speaks with authority. No one can teach in the church unless ordained to speak with authority.—Philadelphia Ledger.

Ha to. Bonnets and Toque*. The new millinery displays the usual oolleotion of extreme styles, shapes, and exaggerated fancies, but we can hope for something less pioturesque and more generally beooming later on, when good taste has modified them to our use. There are some striking revivals of old time hats, whioh look as if they might have come out of some of Gainsborough's pictures, and photographs of the last century portraits by English paint ers have really furnished the milliners with many of their models.

The high, rather pointed crowns and wide brims rolled a little on one side trimmed with many plumes and showy buckles, are some of the latest shapes, whioh are beooming to very few women. These large hats vary in the height of the crown and the width of the brim, whioh rolls more or less at the side as you wish, but the Madonna faoe which makes them a success is the exoeption so the low crowned, medium brimmed hats are quite as fashionable and not nearly so trying in shape. The felt hats in green, blue, black and brown are very nioe, and all the necessary height is given in tho trimming of feathers, wings and ruches of ribbon or velvet Velvet hats of all oolors and shapes are to be very much worn, and the small bonnet shapes are prettily trimmed with fur tails, cream lace and jeweled ornaments.

One very pretty toque is of black and groen velvet, with soft, full rim, and trimmed with oream lace and steel buttona Another toque is of green velvet, trimmed with lace and pink roses. The Trianon shape, whioh has an undulating brim, is shown in mauve velvet of two shades, woven together like basket work, for the crown, the darker shade of velvet for the rim and trimmed with violets and lavender crape. Pink, yel low, empire, green and violet velvet bonnets are made for evening wear, with glittering ornaments for a finish, with flowers or feathers. And there are all sorts of toques in capote she without any strings. Shaded velvet chrysanthemums in purple, violet and pink, with the green leaves, area fashionable hat trimming, and feathers are sometimes arranged in front like a crest

Louis XV hats, with narrow brims turned up, are worn, and among the imported novelties are hats of leather, which are recommended for cyclists, except those of white kid, which are to be worn for calling and on other dressy occasions.—New York Sun.

A Simple Sideboard.

There is dignity in massive furniture, but thore may be grace and much attractiveness in that of lighter construction. Besides, the construction of the lighter furniture may be within the powers of the amateur woodworker, while the massive designs rarely are.

An illustration of this idea is shown in the aooompanying sketch of a side­

board that for grace and harmony of construction could hardly be excelled. The top and shelves should be made of seven-eighths inch stuff, and the legs tapered from not more than two inches square at the top to not more than one inch square at the bottom. These may receive some slight decoration with carving tools, but otherwise the sideboard should be perfectly plain and finished with a high polish. The construction is so plainly shown that detailed description does not appear necessary.

Women Live linger Than Men. There is a prevailing impression that men are not only less subject to ailments and il Loesses, but are longer lived than women. But an examination of life insurance companies* tables will s? that the term of life of women is stiffly longer than that of men. The difference in the mortality rates during the first few years of life is striking. During the first year the mortality aar-rf males is decidedly greater than mm.Lg females. Though more boys are bom than girts, the proportions are reduced to almost even terms at the end of the first year by the excessive male mortal-1 lty. Srea daring the Am four years

the mortality among males exceeds that among females, notwithstanding the fact that there are practically no distinctions made in the management of the two sexes. Both are subject to the same conditions, are dressed virtually alike, and receive the same food. At about 5 years the comparative death rate among girls begins to increase. This has been attributed to the fact that boys of this age are more in the open air. The mortality in both sexes diminishes from this time to the twelfth year, when it attains its lowest point It then steadily rises, being larger in each successive year. Between the twelfth and sixteenth years the death rate among girls increases more rapidly than among boys, but after the sixteenth year, for several years, the rate of increase is more rapid on the male side. The explanations that have been offered for these peculiarities are not wholly satisfactory, but one fact is dear—that during early years females possess a greater tenaoity of life than do males.—New York Ledger.

Mad For the Complexion. •.

Mud is the newest skin beautifier, the latest fad for the improvement of the complexion—just oommon, everyday, unromantic, dirty mud. The use and application of this remedy is one of the wrinkles whioh the summer girl has brought back to town with her from the place of her summer sojourn. Not anew thing, by any means, this daubing of the face and throat with dampened earth, but new to a great many people, and especially new to the oity districts. In the country, far from towns and drug stores, its use has been general and effective for many years. But just as soon as the city commences to creep out to and encroach upon the rurality of a place nature's remedies are given the go by, and the people fly to drugs and "store medicines" for the aid whioh the world around them has been wont to supply.

And so it is with mud. In the early days of the western states, when doctors and oomplexion beautiflers were alike unknown, mud was highly valued by the women of the country. The feminine sex delights in fair skins and white hands, even if there is no one in all the township to see them, and the early settlers borrowed the mud idea from the Indians, who valuod it for its medicinal effect.

The mud treatment costs nothing and is far more helpful than a series of Turkish baths. The principle is precise ly that of the facial masks, both of ancient Roman times and of the present day, and the mud washing maiden will be as fair as a lily all fall.—New York Letter.

The latest Petticoats.

It would seem difficult to discover anything new in petticoats, but they really seem to follow the general trend of the modes. For inetanoe, the extrav agant use of narrow black velvet ribbon is oonspiouous. A skirt of pink and cream brocade is finished with a deep flounce of plain pink silk trimmed with many narrow rows of black. Over thisis another ruffle of pink silk net ar ranged in full festoons by means of rosettes of the narrow baby velvet Some silk skirts have flounces of eoru lawn embroidered and trimmed with yellow lace. Some sensible skirts are of mohair trimmed with a ruffle of laoe over one of silk. They are no oheapcr than many of the silk ones, but t* oourse wear muoh better.

The present fashion seems to be to have the petticoat match in oolor the dress lining, although both skirt and lining form a contrast to the oolor used in the gown. Moire silks are as much used for pettiooats as they are for dress trimming.—New York Tribune. »T

Dr. Sudan I. Taber.

Dr. Susan I. Taber was unanimously elected physician in chief of the woman's department of the State Hospital For the Insane at Norristown, Pa., at the meeting of the board of trustees on Oct. 2. Dr. Taber has been connected with this institution for the past 15 years, serving first as second assistant and then for many years as first assistant physician. She has also served as a member of the board of trustees of the Hospital For the Chronic Insane at South Mountain, Pa. In addition to this long experience, she is said to have marked executive and professional abil ity and high character, pre-eminently fitting ber to take the responsible oharge of the thousand and more women patients at the Norristown hospital

She Persevered.

New York has a woman druggist When she applied to the state board of pharmacy for a license, her application was refused. She then secured a mandamus, compelling the state board to grant it She is .t lgian by birth and had conducted her invalid husband's business for 18 years.

Miss Martin of Inniskillen is the first lady guardian elected in Ireland. On entering the board room of the union she was received with cheers. The bill to enable women to act as poor law guardians in Ireland was introduced by William Johnston of Ballykilbeg and easily passed both houses.

Narrow velvet ribbon is very much used this season, and endless loops of black or white are combined with lace or chiffcn in pretty boas for the neck. Vests of white silk or mousseline de scie are trimmed crosswise with some of the baby ribbon, either in black or colors.

The wild southern passion flower, with its circle of purple and white and its fringy lav iter rim or border, is beautiful, vrorUi. upon any white substance, whetLcrit be linen, silk or satin.

TEERE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING- MAIL, OCTOBER 31, 1896.

The Woman of Spirit.

Oh, the woman of spirit! What a glorious creature she is after the maudlin little sweetmeats whose lack of courage, character and self respect is called gen tlesubmissivenessl In December of 1880 George Sand wrote to M. Bonooiran of Paris, that, chancing to look in her husband's desk she saw a package directed to her, labeled "To be opened only at my death." She had no patience to wait until she became a widow, she ex plained, so she opened it at once and found his will, which bequeathed to her nothing but his hatred and soorn In that moment her irrevocable resolu tion was taken—to leave him and to iive her own life—and to that we owe the great masterpieces whioh she oon tributed to the fiction of the nineteenth oentury. The crisis passed, how deeply did she enjoy her liberty! "I do not crave society, dresses or jewelry, "she wrote to a friend. "What I long for is liberty. Being alone on the street and saying to myself, 'I shall dine at 4 or at 7 as I please I shall pass through the Luxembourg gardens instead of the Champa Elysees on my way to the Tuilleries if I feel so inclined that is what amuses me more than men or drawing rooms." And so she made her decision and created her new freedom and accomplished her work in life. Like every one who achieves, she attained the higher force through resolute action, through persistence of the nobler energies and through keeping her faith with her ideals.—Exchange.

"Lady Guides'* In London. In England, where the word "lady" does more strenuous service than almost anywhere else in the world, where "lady journalists" flourish and "lady help" is familiar, a new "lady" has appeared. She is called the "lady guide," and, although the name is against her, she is a popular personage and a most convenient one. She is so numerous that she has been banded into an organization called the Lady Guide association.

At such a season as this, when Lon don is full of visitors, the association is particularly valuable. The duties which the lady guides undertake are shown by their ciroul&r to be numerous, "Parties are met at stations or on board ship apartments, boarding houses, rooms at hotels reoommended and engaged shopping, packing, dressmaking and all needlework undertaken arrivals and addresses registered, and letters and paroels received shipping, steam passages and railway tickets provided dinners and balls arranged typewriting, shorthand, copying, autocopying, invitations, etc., undertaken commissions of all kinds executed spring and autumn housecleaning and removals undertaken."

New Shade of Pink.

Schin-schin is the new shade of pink. It is the color of Japanese roses when they first blow delicately. It will be much worn this season in wraps and dress trimmings. One small wrap of schin-schin has just been made. This wrqp is a shoulder cape.

Its foundation is taffeta silk of schinschin shade. Over this is laid white plisse in a heavy deep ruching falling to the shoulders. The plisse is gathered upon a small high necked yoke of black velvet, upon which there are reliefs in white lace.

Tho pink shows through the plisse in a very becoming manner. The white material is very thin and gauzy, but it wears well.

Glove Novelties.

There is anew glove in vogne. It is mode of glace kid and has au odd little pointed cuff of snede. The cuff falls over the glove in a point just above the wrist, but it also may be folded back, adding to the length of the glove. The outside of the enff is usually black snede, vrMle the inside is of glaoe kid, like the glove proper.

These gloves come in all the varying new shade? of fawn and gray, and also in white and pule yellow. They have black silk stitching, besides the black suede cuff, and they cost $3 a pair. In many of the new walking gloves the buttons match the glove in color.

These troubles prevail almost universally among women largely because of careless* ness and neglect There is no real need of them. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is apositive specific for the weaknesses and diseases of the feminine organism.

It cures them radically and completely. It heals, strengthens and purifies. It is the only scientific remedy devised for this special purpose by an educated, skilled physician. It is the only medicine that makes motherhood easy and absolutely safe.

Miss Lauretta McNecs, of Reno (P. O. Box 7»j). Washoe Co., Jfer., writes: "I discontinued taking the Prescription' and will not take any more (at present). Last month 1 bad pain mi all and worked every day wit hoot tucouwskiict whatever. II was the first t-~ I sever had pain daring that period. I eatsay too macn for voar

looks for a wife, he expects a good deal. Prob ably he expects

more than he deserves. He wants good looks, good sense, good nature, gooa

health. They usually go together. An observing man learns that a woman who is physically weak and nervous and incapable, is likely to be ill-natured too. The sweetest temper is ruined by continual sickness.

A woman whose nerves are constantly racked and dragged by debilitating drains and inflammation, cannot be a genial companion or happy wife and she is totally unfitted to be a mother.

Our Kitchen

No kitchen is kept cleaner than the premises devoted to the manufacture of NONE SUCH Mince Meat. No house wife can be more fastidious in the matter of preparing food than we are in the selection and preparation of the materials of which it is made. The cleaning of the currants (for one thing) is more thoroughly done by means of perfected appliances, than it would be possible to do it by hand.

Its cleanliness, purity, wholesomeness and deliciousness are good reasons for using NONE SUCH Mince Meat. The best reason is its saving—of time, of hard work, of money. A ten cent package affords you two large pies, without trouble to you beyond the making of the crust. Makes just as good fruit cake and fruit pudding as it does mince pie. Sold everywhere. Be sure and get the genuine.

Send your name and address, and mention this paper, and we will mailp-ou free a book— ••Mrs. Popkins' Thanksgiving' '—by one of the most famous humorous authors of the day.
