Mr. Brtan's campaign of .education
since tho election omits tho lesson ho
sought to teach the voters of uttering
one sentiment and voting another. It
was found to bo conducive to neither

This thing of asking a free-silver
Democrat to "forego his occupation"
and be thankful on Thansgiving Day
is the rankest kind of coercion.
Whilo tho day is not exactly a Repub

WHERE NOAH GOT HIS PITCH.
Natural Spring Which Enabled Illm to
Make tlio Arlt Wntor Tight.
An Knglish explorer has recently
reached Hit, in Syrin, the locality in
which Noah dwelt. Here he found a
remarkable group of bitumen springs,
saya the Xcw York Journal.
1'roni these springs, ho says, it is
probable that Aoah obtained his supply
of material to "pitch it within and with
out." In a basin, undoubtedly of vol
canic origin, a spring of warm water
bubbles up, and with the water comes
iho bitumen or pitch, in a iilastie form,
of the consistency of rather moist put
ty; and the Arabs gather it by simply
scraping it off the surface of the water
with their bare hands and pressing it
snto panniers carried by patient little
donkeys, who then struggle up the
rocky sides of the basin and take the
material off to the boat-building yards,
where it is used for covering tho boats
and gouphas, after undergoing a cer
tain refining process.
The bitumen is continually rising,
'but owing to the formation of the basin
into which it rises with the stream
-very little of it can escape, and it re
mains floating on the surface of the wa
ter till taken off by the Arabs. Tho wa
ter itself tastes slightly of sulphur, is
quite warm and apparent!' charged
with some mineral which it deposits
in its rocky bed as it flows away
(through channels and crevices which
.the ibltumen cannot pass) from the
"basin, coating it with a lovely lilac
color, which further down the stream
becomes a "peacock" blue.
A POLITICIAN TESTED.
A Congressman Who Could Not Play
Checkers to Suit Constituents.
"One of tho ablest men in congress
will lose a number of votes in his dis
trict in Georgia," said a department
clerk to a Washington Star reporter.
A friend of mine wrote me somo time
ago that the judge was safe so far as
his reelection was concerned, but my
friend visited one of the back coun
ties a few days ago and found that a
decided change in sentiment had come
about. lie asked cne of the political
leaders:
" 'What is the matter with the judge."
" 'He ain't no good."
" 'Why, what did he ever vote for
that you are not in favor of?'
" '1 dunno.'
" 'Did ho vote against cnything you
wanted passed?'
" 'Xot as I know ion.'
" 'The newspapers all epeak well of
him.'
'"Newspapers h alius lyinV
"'What is the matter?'.
" 'Waal, he corned out here, an' Tom
Wilkius beat Mm playin checkers. Tom
hain't play a little bit, an' what kin' o
a flgger kin a man cut in congress who
hain't play checkers better'n thet?' "
Mules for Hear Hunters.
The proper beast for a grizzly bear
hunter to rido is a good mule. Dr. W.
P. Edgar, United States army, tells in
liecreatlon why a mulo is best. The
doctor was wandering near a camp up
in Washington state on a mule. He
had his rifle with him, and, seeing a
big bear in the trail, fired. Tho bear
tumbled over and out of sight. It Jooked
like a clean kill, and the doctor start
ed toward the place, and was nearly
in sight of tho hollow where the bear
had disappeared, when the bear climbed
vp over the edge and went for him.
It was then that the mulo was of the
utmost service. The mule rose on its
Wnd feet, turned sharply around, and
Leaded for camp. A horse or a mustang
wouldn't have been quick enough, tho
bear was bo close, but all tho hunter
Lad to do was to hang on, Tho mule
Icnew what to do without being told.

Evening costumes may be summed up
in two classes brocado gowns and
gowns of somo sheer material, whose
dlnphanous folds odd an ethereal air to
the donncr.
Brocade, while worn chiefly by the
matron, is occasionally used for the
skirt of a maid who has seen several
seasons. It should, however, have no
dark tones. A white 6atln ground with

The black gown was of net, severely
plain, save for a band around the waist,

The separate bodice continues In
vogue, ever charming us with tho
beauty of its outlines. Especially is this
true of tho evening bodice, which for
the ibowitchery of its mnkc-up was
never equaled. Tho following are some
of the materials jiow being worn:
A green inotfsselinc that smells of
tho ecu, with lace braid nppllquo and
embroidered In paillettes of iridescent
cdlors.
Cream chiffon, appliqucd with dead
whlto sntln caught down with gold
braid.
Black chiffon with white applique
lace.
Cloth of gold, so soft that it can hard
ly bo called cloth of gold, worked over
with silver thread in tho tracery of
which, hero and there, turquoise gleam.
Palo pink chiffon embroidered with
,Marie Antoinette ribbon.
Yellow moussellno embroidered in
delicate fine bluo blossoms.
Prom these examples It is readily seen
that nppllquo work is the favorite. As
a rule, the appllqulng is very lightly
done, and Interferes in no way with the
"drape" of tho material. When it does,
liowever, plain material is used in com
bination. Tulle, dotted with paillettes, is so
charming that it should not bo omitted
from a bit of material nvailablo for
evening bodices.
In tho summer time the girl nthletical
ly inclined finds many sports at her
hand tennis, golf, rowing and climb
ing fill the days with healthful exer
cise. But when the days aro chill, and
sho is once more settled in town, too
soon sho misses her summer enjoy
ment. Tho gymnasium fills many an aching
void, and it is not long before she is
swinging on tho horizontal bar or aim
ing to make the highest jump of any
in the school.
Therefore it is that tho gymnasium
suit is an important part of a young
maid's wardrobe.
The suit most universally accepted
have bloomers and blouses, and. a short
skirt. Tho sleeves are long, tho neck
opening into a rather low sailor collar,
Of course no corsets aro worn. Union
underwear will be found most service
able, as it docs not bunch up about the
hips from tho violent exercise.

suits worn arc made on the above lines.

Once mora does tho rainy-day prob
lorn confront us. Far bo it from me tc
'suggest strong-minded ideas, but is i
not time that the business women ari
freed from fear of pneumonia? Let onf
of tho men. who object to short sklrti
nttempt to wear the ordinary kind or
a rainy day; let himgooutinthemorn

inches from the bottom; let him b
chilled through and through, yet lei
him proceed with his work and stick t$
his desk tho livelong day. How quick
ly would he advocate the- adoption ol
short skirts!
Therefore, let the emancipated wom
an say: "From now on my rainy-daj
skirts will be short," nnd the game ii
ours.
A fetching costume worn by a daring
maid of Paris is of dark green water
proof cloth, lined with pink and greer
taffeta, that revealed itself now and
again beneath tho short skirt. Leg'
gins wore of the same cloth, and ar
Alpine hat matched it in color. Th
waist was silk and varied from day tc
Hay, according to the whims of the
maid who wore the costume. Thai
mattered little, however, ns it was en
tlrely concealed by a jaunty cape of tar,
cloth, heavily braided with large scrolls
and buttoned tight to the waist line ir
front.

LIFE IN THE GREAT CITIES.
It Tendency III Not to Rnermto Na
tions. Anjl ni to the tfciitlrney of tho growth
of great cities to enervate nations there
is no proof of it nt nil unless we Identity
the life of pi eat cities with the passion
for Idleness and , pleasure and self-indulgence,
which sometimes, but by no
mean! unhei stilly, accompanies their
growth, says tho London Spectator.
When you get n largo proletariat liv
ing, ns that of nnuicnt Homo nnd pos
sibly of N'tncveh and Babylon did, ou
tho alms of the rich nnd powerful, then
no doubt you havo the conditions of
n thoroughly unnatural and unhealthy
life, and no ono can wonder at tho rapid
decay of Buch cttlcs and of tho nations
which gloried In them. But where tho
honest working class far outnumbers
the proletariat, where tho middle
classes of distributors and manufac
turers and professional men arc, labor
ious nnd energetic, nnd even the clasi
that lives on Its accumulated wealth
contains a considerable sprinkling of
serious and disinterested workers, wc
no not believe that there is the smallest
cvldenco of nny greater danger in tho
life of the city than in the life of tho
agricultural village of tho pastoral
tribe. Indeed, we should regard Olive
Schreincr's picture of the life of the
modern Boers ns Indicating a condi
tion of things more prolific of morbid
elements, with its almost completo ab
sence of nny stirring or nctlve intelli
gence, thnn nny kind of modern life
that is honestly laborious at nil. Tho
Boer life Is too sleepy, too destitute of
stirring thought or effort, to bo alto
gether natural. It needs at least tho
old element of danger and necessary
vicrilnnco to render it even brnclnxr.
Thanksgiving Cocklne Main.
There is a movemeut on foot among
local sports who aro fond of cock fight
ing to have a tournament of that kind
in the vicinity of this city on Thanks
giving day. Tho matter hasn't as
sumed any tangible shapo as yet and
is no wiso an assured go. But it is
hoped by tho lovers of tho sport that
the project will bo carried through to
completion. It has been tho custom to
havo a cocking main each Thanksgiv
ing and as the ono last year was such
a success from a cock-fighter's point of
view, admirers of tho sport hopo for n.
similar event on tho 20th inst. If it
does not como off, a number of Park
ersburgers will go to Circleyllle, where
there Is ono slated to occur on that
date. Parkersburg Journal.
