WHERE THE LIKENESS CEASES. Since Mr. Bryan's failure at Madison Square Garden the N*tw York Journal has been busily engaged In "a projeot Dor ex%rac»t:tnjg sunlbeams out of cuoumlbeirs'," says the Chicago TlmetsHerald. One of i't» .favorite diversions te to oomipare Bryian and Lincoln, and In pursuance of the analogy it pretend® fbr "the ooimiffort of the silver men otf the east., that Brytan and1 Irfncoln were reice'ived .in the same way i'n Neiw York. "Had LSnooln atteim^tied a reception at the Wlnidsor hotel oif that day," it says, 'Vew indeed would have called to taike his hand, and anraonig them would have been no great banikere, oaJpltalistB or land owners, no Ae*fcors, Hhineranders, Vanderbil'ts or ObeWtB.'*

Bryan was received toy not one eastfern man oif high standing or general refutation. In the very citadel of eastern Democracy he was otbl"ged to rely upon his western frlendis for ooanifort jind supiport. He was a sitran'ger in a ptrangie house.

The business wonkaxr** good looks are a* ImjforULQt and essential to her success as are beattty and wealth to the society belle. The business woman grown old, careless in her appearance, wrinkled «vod faded, is at a discount. We may dodge the Issue for a time, and we may- prate about brains and capacity and all that, "but when an oppor. tunity offers tor place, other things being equal, the beat dooking, tbe "beat groomed, the moat all around, trtan. and attractive of the applicants wilt get the position every time.
A bftsiness woman's personal appearance Is her capital stock In trade. It is quite natural and i'n a eerae it la fair enough that it should 'be so. It is a part of the great scheme. We all love pleasant and beautiful objects about uat lanxuxuatet or. inanima.te this old world has been running aitopg on the same plan from the beginning led by beauty and vigor everywhere, and doing quite weli. Despite the unenvied of our sex, who would reform us from our shoes to our -hat p£ns and make us like themselves, .wandering frights, with empty pockets to meet datty necessities and a theory for a bank account.
Six o'olock Is none too early for the business woman to arise. Am hour at least is .cequlred for a proper and careful toilet, and) ©he should be more scrupulously neat and careful tn every particular in her dress than i'n any other, because she makes but the one toilet for the day. She should on rising take a full sponge bath, carefully washing her face with hot water and soap if she has used a cream or lotion toefore 0ing to bed in clear tepid water othejlvise every particle of soap must •be washed out, and, finally the face •rinsed in clea^ cold water,-says the iNew York Worid.
All day long she must be trim and immaculate in her looks, but at night, when ithe tired little wage-earner has reached home, let her take off all her business clothes, bathe her fa^e, throat, and hands, and casting cares and responsibilities aside with the office custume, let her attire toe simple and qufte free from all suggestions of the shop. The change, will rest and refresh her as .no wine or cbrdial -can. ©he should take ait least an hour for her wigit toilet, which positively requires a 'full hot bath with a brush scrub from. head, to foot ten minutes at least for brushing and braidi'ng the hair and a careful examination of the skin. If the cuticle is inclined to toe rough a good cream should be gently ru'tfbed into it if the wrinkles are crowding 'themselves into prominence •they must be loneaded and smoothed and coaxed away If there is an ominous little patch of 'brown just above one dheek or a queer discoloration resembling the tiny prtnits of a little brown hand across the tired brow, there i!s no time to lose in applying a lotion Which will turn these .intruders pale and banish 'them after a 'little if there are other bleanlsehes they snould be taken account of now. The business gown Should be brushed, collar and cuffs laid out, and everything put in •readiness, for there will be no time in the morning and far from least important of all rules, for the business women to rigorously adhere to is a •well-ventilated chamber and a scrupulously clean, comfortable 'bed to sleep in. Every working woman that can possibly do so, even though it costs her a denial of luxury, owes herself a sleeping room quite apart where she can each night rest -mind and body, and undisturbed for ten long, sweet hours refresh her exhausted forces through that deep,
repose (that is the
heaven-sent reward of honest' toil, 'the sleep that does Indeed "knft up the raveled sleeve of .fare."
BRYAN ON THE DEBTOR CLASS. Mtr. Wmialrn J. Bryan- made a journey otf 1,500 miles .from h'.s home in Lincoln N'elbraisWa., at the heart of the continent, to its dhieif financial center on the Atlantic seaboard in order that, from this commanding rostrum, he mlight instruct not only its merchants and business men, but the people o,, the whole United States, an'd of listening Europe, in t«he piVmciiplee of sound finamoe- and in the eletr.rvts of monetary science. This is one of the nuggets of
Wisdom that fe'M frctm the Hps of ths great master af finance, says the -t. Paul Pioneer-Pr ee. "It Is sometimes asserted by our opponents that a bank belongs to the debtor cbuss, BUT IT IS NOT TRUE OF ANY SOLVENT BANiK. Every statement published by a solvent bank shows that the assets exceed the liabilities. That is to say, while the bank aweta a large amiount of money to its depositors, it not on'Jy has enough on (handIn moneyand notes to pay .ts /J •poB-itcfrs, but in addition thereto has enough tb cover its -oaipital and surplus." ..
The proposition here laid down ,n a.i eerioutsnes-s by this great expounder of the gospel of finance is that no one -Is a delbtor whose assets exceed h'.s liabilities or, in other words that no one ie a -dtftyior un1tei3,& be owe© more t*han he will ever -be a/Me Uo pay. No matter h«W much a bank owes, it is not a debtor so long.as it is so.vent. That is. to say, there a.re no detbtors except insolvent delbtons. So that the farmer who 'has mortgaged his farm for a thousand do'.lam is not a dxlbtor if his fanm is worth more than a thousand dollars. This must be oonsoWng to the fawner.
Ilf a 13-yete.r-old boy in a country echoo! should make such a definition of a deftxlor as that his teacher would put a fool-sea?) on him and stand him in a corner ae a laughing stock for all the urchins in his cfl'aSs. And yet this was the definition put forth by a candidate for the preeld'ency of the United States,
selected
prerunrralbly one of the abl
est, as he had certainly beeh one of the noiskst, exponents oif the position of his party on tbe financial issues before the country—not a haaty, impromptu sfatetnent d*ue to inadvertartce, but de.Mberately fonmu'a'tel to a carefully studied epewh intended as the best defense which could fle made of the cause which he reprasente.
Now that statement that no man is a debtor unless h#: ft an inaoliveivt or is a fair measure Mr. Bryan's caipacity as a teacher of finance. It eihorwe thiat Uipon a question in which he aastttnes the funeft onJs of ahead teacher he Is idtmorant of the A otf the mowt elementary questions otf finance.
