HE HAS DEPARTED. DRESSING IN GOOD TASTE. American ladies, especially in the, larger cities and towim, are becoming noted for their good taste in dress. This Is largely due to the fact that they secure tho best Fusliion Journals published, and by a eeroful study of them they get correct ideas upon the all important subject of dress, Any lady ran cultivate her taste in this direction if shu will only go to the trouble of comparing the styles found in the roliahle Fashion Journals published by A. McDowell 4 West 14th N.

with those appearing in other Fashion Magazines. Thoso Issued by A. McDowell Co. are produced only by the best artists, and are for tbe most purt plain, and in every respect practical; the others are generally very loud or dowdy, and thoroughly unsuitable for the requirements of American women. The firm of A.

McDowell seeks to furnish ladies with genuine French stylos, such as can be used without any danger of appearing ridiculous. Hence their Fashion Journals are now the favorites with all ladles of good taste throughout the country. La Mode de Paris gives tho latest French styles. Album des Modes furnishes styles which are popular in Paris. La Mode gives a selection of styles which are serviceable to the family.

The two former are each 35 couts a copy, or $3.50 a year. The last Is 15 cents a copy, or $1.50 a year. They are supplied by newsdealers, or direct to subscribers from the house. i PERSONAL MENTIOE Judge Wall lain Chicago ou legal buianeaa. Waltor B.

The fatal passions thnt control, And lead to crime of heart and hand, That smother conscience, sense and soul The Lord alone can understand. Temptation comes alike to all.

Lets leave a token of our day For those who needs must pass this way. Sakah T. Bolton. Indianapolis, Dec. 1891.

John J. Ingalls, speaking of death of Senator Plumb, said The loss which Kansas has sustained by this deplorable casualty is irreparable. Mr. Plumbs place cannot bo tilled. The state is not wanting in men of genius, capacity and learning, who can add luster to her famA but knowledge and skill, the familiarity with the methods of legislation obtained by long practice and experience, and the ncquaiutance with public men so esential to success these are not endowments, but acquisitions.

The senator who succeeds Mr. Plumb must begin where he began fourteen years ago, leaving the State meanwhile without prestige or station until they have been earned again. That is, unless John J. Ingalls shall be appointed to the vacancy. the The great cry will be now, the strip, Eagle.

Yes, and thousands of poor men, women and children will meander to the lines and stand gazing, shivering and starving through the cold winter months, hoping and praying for the word Go and when the word shall finally be given, those who were overanxious to get the best lands will be so depleted and weak that they will be outstripped by those who have well all winter, and theyll get the worst, thus yaryfying the scripture which saith "The first shall be last and the last shall be first.

Phelps Cough, CoHftnd Croup Cure is the beat; A TIPSY MOUSE. Singular Conduct of is Queer Little Pot. We first became acquainted on a rainy night in October. I was sitting at my fire when I heard a faint rustling In some paper that I had dropped beside my chulr, and glancing down, I saw tbe bright eyes of a little mouse.

I say a little mouse, for this one was so small that it was evidently not fully grown, and as I soon saw was not yet afraid of man. It sat quietly watching tne for a full minute, when quietly extending my arm I caught it in my hand. I reached for the plate of cakes at my elbow, crumbled a morsel, and put it before my tiny captive. It was trembling a little, but presently, reassured, it began to nibble at the cake, pausing every now and then to glance at me with Its bright, dark eyes. Then, having further refreshed it by a drop of water proffered on a largo pen's point, 1 placed my little prisoner in a temporary stronghold formed of an ink-stand, a paper weight and a Btamp box, from which It sat watching me without the slightest appearance of uneasiness or desire to escape.

My loneliness cheered even by the presence of this scrap of life, I resumed my writing, pausing every now and then to speak to my guest. It was with real regret that I felt I must release the little creature when my work was finished, and it had another feast of cake. I heard the clock's warning that it grew late. With a parting smooth of its satiny skin with my finger I put it on the floor and watched it steal away under the wainscoting of the room, and saw what had escaped my observation before, that the mouse was lame in one limb. Of course I never expected to see It again, but on the following night was glad to see It come creeping back about my feet, when I placed It once more on my table.

This time, feeling rather ashamed that I had offered it the indignity before, I made no attempt to hold It in prison, but allowed it to wander about the books and papers as it would, which it did In so gentle and unobtrusive a way as not to disturb me or the articles with which the table was strewn. Mo pen seemed to greatly excite its wonder, and as it hurried over the paper, Janie, as I named my mouse, would sit close to the sheet watching the letters form beneath the mysterious, swiftly traveling engine. All that winter Janie and I kept each other company every night, two boon companions, who never bored each other with conversation and yet were the better for the companionship. We had many a jolly midnight feast together, when Janie sat upon the edge of my plate, accepting such morsels as I proffered her, but never guilty of the rudeness of appropriating even a crumb uninvited. On one occasion, however, there occurred a sad mishap.

My landlady had brought me up a slice of the dish known as Tipsy-Squire, which, as probably you are aware, has a sauce made of wine or brandy. Not knowing this, and too busy myself to taste it just then, I gave Janey a few crumbs and went on with my work. Presently I was alarmed and puzzled to see my quiet little friend endeavoring to stand on her head. Not succeed-' ing in this, site tore about the table, pausing every now and then to perform a dance and throw a half somerset It finally dawned upon me what was the matter, when, I am ashamed to say, I laughed loud and long. This seemed to attract Janies attention, for Bhe stopped short in her frenzy and came creeping to my hand, in which she laid herself, and turned her eyes piteously, as if to say: I know Ive beenunladylike.

Oh! what is the matter with me? I made her a bed of some jewelers cotton, aud there she slept her intoxication away. Poor little Janie! Her fate is unknown to me. One night in early spring I looked for her in vain, and many nights after would glance up from my writing at the faintest rustle in the room, only to find that the wind was the cause, or the falling of an ember of my fire. She came no more, and, though I had no particular cause to suspect him, I conceived an aversion to the household cat, and always looked away whenever he sat and licked his chops before me.

Fioundtty of SMFih. The degree of fertility varies to an extraordinary extent among certain fishes, and according to the sizes of the individual. The ling produces a greater number of eggs than any other fish-twenty to thirty millions being an ordinary average among medium-sized and large specimens On the other hand, the pipe-fish brings forth each season only a few hundreds, the eggs being taken charge of by the male, which carries them about in a compartment situate on its under surface. The cod produces from two or three to seven or eight millions of eggs; the haddock from two or three hundred thousand to nearly a million. In the herring the number ranges from about twenty to about fifty thousand, the average for about sixteen specimens examined being over thirty thousand, showing a considerable greater fecundity than has been generally supposed.

Among flat-fish the most fertile is tho turbot, with from three or four to nine or ten million eggs, and, the least so. the long, rough dab, which produces from about thirty to sixty thousand.

Rhodes tnen wanted to remarry the wronged young lady to avoid the payment of the judgement. She refused, and he shot her twice with a revolver then blew out his own brains. The girl is still alive and we hope she may recover. TRUE AND MARVELOUS. The following from the Lawrence Journal is only too true, and it is a marvelous utterance to come from Lawrence, erstwhile the hot-bed of Prohibition fanaticism "General Clarkson wants to drop prohibition in Iowa and save the party.

The Republican leaders in Kansas will sing the same tune unless the party soon refuses to allow the old barnacles to ride into office on that hobby. Prohibition has already been too long prostituted by political libertines in Kansas, and unless there is an end to it there is going to be trouble when we are not looking for it. Before Preston B. Plumb was cold, after receiving the death stroke, the hungry cormorants for office were planning for his place. Prominent (P) politicians went about shedding crocodile tears and bemoaning the death of tho great and good Senator, and at the same time were secretly scheming to slip into his shoes.

Such is politics in all parties and in all states. A curse upon the soullessness of politics everywhere 1 It is probable that the Anti-Lottery Democrats, of Louisiana will join the Republican party to defeat the Pro-Lottery Democrats, It is complimentary to the Republicans that the de-oent Democrats come to them when they desire a reform in the name of integrity and justice.

The Washington (D. Herald, which is extremely Democratic, says: President Harrison seems to have caught the popular fancy with his messnge as much as lie did by his speeches on his celebrated swing a-round the circle. There is a general chorus of approval of the tone, the literary style and the arrangement of the document, in which Democratic journals are not slow to join. While Democrats differ with the President on all the great questions of Government policy with which he deals in his message, it must lie recognized that he advances his Mohs with judicial calmness and moderation, and imparts to the entire document a lono that bespeaks the broaif-n'i tided statesman, instead of a politwVui. The message is unmistakably one of the most admirable documents issued from tbe White House in a long time.
