H o w t o B e c o m e liitutne. Begin to think you are not treated right. Make sure you are not ^»pre dated by somebody or anybody, it makes no difference whether by your family, the world in general or your sweetheart. Dwell on this thought constantly; put yourself to sleep by brooding over it nights. The next etep will bo to con sider that somebody has a spite at you and is persecuting you relentlessly. Thid is often the first sign oi insanity, and it la an infallible one. Somethin a the wronged and injured one fancies that all the- world is wrong but himself. If he i? poor, he begins to brood over that and blame somebody else for it. Occasion ally it i3 the fault o f the millionaires who have taken nil the wealth out o f hia pocket; again it is the fault o f the gov ernment that has done the same thing. In any case the end comes sooner or later to the individual who starts in life as a kicker with a grievance and keeps it up. The end is that he becomes the most dangerous lunatic that can be at large in the community. Ho may commit murder at any moment. This was the history of Guiteau. It is the history of the man who tried to murder John Mac- kay and of nearly every crank who ever tried to blow up millionaire, president or governor. It is the history o f the un fortunate southern lady who recently killed her two sisters before l>eing com mitted to a lunatic asylum. Therefore, as you value your «Unity and desire to keep from shedding blood, do not permit yourself to brood over grievances. They rarely exist except in your own imagination, and even when they are real a cheery, persistent deter mination will rid you o f them and in every case give you just the place and the appreciation you deserve in this life. Pour sunshine, not black frost and blizzard, upon the world, and the world will return all the warmth and radiance to you after awhile. St. Patrick. 8. Q.

If an appropriation can be had front congress next winter, an electric .ircet car line will be constructed all the way from Washington to Baltimore. A pri vate company will build the line from Washington an far an the single tax town o f Hyattsville this summer Then it is hoped that congress will appropriate 3 noney to finish the electric road through to Baltimore, as well as to construct an asphalt drive alongside o f it. This is a magnificent scheme. Baltimore is 88 miles from Washington, and an electric car ride between the tw o cities would be delightful. Likewise along that magnif icent asphalt boulevard lot owner» would reap fortunes on the unearned increment plan. There are intelligent gentlemen already fully alive to this fact. These intelligent gentlemen should at least help to build the boulevard and the electric car line. G rip « an d F k m w ord s. BUT THF SUMMER MAY BRING THE STEEL BARS.

What the summer wid bring forth no seer dares foretell. The cholera and the crinoline are both immi nent. and for the latter there is no quar antine To be nltra fashionable is accounted inelegant, and the greatest hope for the truly artistic dress lies in the fact that what some one ha* pronounced the inde cent haste of the dressmakers to estah lish the new mode may defeat their pur pose.

We give them warning that she is here now and has already inaugurated the new Btyle o f dealing with husbands who have been a little giddy. Does Hhe dissolve in floods o f tears, throw herself at the feet o f Augustus, tell him all is forgiven and implore him to return to her? Not much. What she does do is shown in a suit for divorce just brought by a Jer sey wife against her husband, who way going to run away with the hired girl. She simply told the husband to clear out as quick as he could. Then, according to a veracious New York Sun reporter, she summoned the girl before her, and with the spirit of a philosopher and a conquering hero combined she lectured to the cowed domestic in the exact So- cratian method. She said to the reporter: I waa sorry for the girl, but 1 told Monroe that ttte must leave me, a« I would have noth ing to do with him thereafter. I pleaded with the girl not to go with him. 1 talked to hei about her duty to her*clf and her parents and pointed out the Inevitable ending o f a life of B in . ‘ Kitty,’’ said 1, “ are you as good looking as 1 am?" “ No, m arm ," «aid she. “ Are you as well educated or as attractive in any manner?"

Nevertheless she in sisted upon accompanying Monroe. 1 am the owner ot this property and have an income from other property ln New York which ren ders me Independent o f this busincs«, and 1 turned my husband out o f doors. 1 pitied the girl and would have taken care o f her, for 1 am one who believes that the man 1« chiefly tc blame in such cases, while the world at large always makes the woman bear the brunt oi the soorn and disgrace.

Perhaps the modemakers. finding more resistance to the hoop than they expected, are determined to eoerce the fashionable woman into wearing the wire cage by burdening her with these heavy lined skirts, from which she may gladly turn to the lighter hoop. The skirts of some of the new gowns cl»sr the ground by tw o inches, and all of them are devoid o f any suspicion of a trail. Fancy riblxinsof most beautiful varie ties enter largely into the decoration of the new gowns. Satin ribbons of all widths are need, and pretty effects arc obtained by gathering the ribbons into narrow little rnchea for the decoration of the skirtteind the finish of the edges o f all the waist decoration. And the New Y ork Hun says old fashioned milliners' folds and deftly turned pipings of satin or velvet, with gimps and galons, all are need in a variety o f ways. One skirt has a succession o f ribbon ruffles, satin gath ered very scantily on the edge. The lower row is perhaps three inches wide, the four rows above it each less than an inch in width. Another fancy is to nse * succession of milliners’ folds widely spaced, each fold about an inch wide, and between them a single row o f nar row gimp, with a gleam o f gold in the edge*. Parisian gowns measure seven yards around. London dressmakers are more modest and give a ft-yard skirt the pref- L W OOL « N O SILK KFFKCTB. ererti-e, and tome New York houaesshow skirts six yards in width. One of the new cheviots embodying many brifcht tints snhdned in their intermixture, has a full skirt standing out with the protnl con scionsnesn that It is the very lateet shape. The tleeves are unusually full, widening from midway between the elbow nnd tbe wrist, and a drapery on the bodice crosses over the bnat and fastens on one shoul der showing a folded lielt of dark green satin about the waist. Another new and simple gown Is of the silk anil w o o l material which forms such a large contingent of spring im portation*. The skirt has a narrow finish at the bottom of velvet, set on like a puff, with a band of yralon above It. The waist, which is very full and drawn In wrinkles over the figure, with no seams, is o f glossy corded silk In color matching the silk fignnw shown tc the goods. Over thin bodice is a little coat with plaited rever* falling in a flounce over the sleeve and finisbad in the bark mnch like the front, the revers falling in plaits to a point at the belt. The sleeve* have very full pnff* gathered above the elbow to close fitting nndrrsleevea following the outline of the arm to the waist. The pnffs are lined with stiff silk to give them the desired prominence. D e ll lee O o t e g O a t o f D a t e .

They were need to set the cup upon in one's saucer—certainly the silliest and the fort beet from neat of all napery whims. Now the reaction has set in.

M o n s te r . The advocate* o f the repeal o f the Mc Kinley increase of dnty on tin platee need to keep their organization intact for further battle. John Jarrett was some time since ordered home from hi* poet an consul to Birmingham, England, to the rescue of a cause in which Crone- myer and Neidringhaue have proved themselves inefficient as leaders. John Jarrett is a noted Pittsburg politician, wirepuller and, report says, an effective lobbyist. In times past Jarrett has been able, by the liberal use o f funds put up by the protected interests o f his state, to defeat Democratic congressmen for election by invading their districts in person end carrying the war to the homes of the voters. Hurd o f Ohio and Morrison of Illinois both know what Jarrettism means in politics. Jarrett ha* lutely lieen made the sec retary of three distinct trusts—vix., the Galvanized Iron trust, the Sheet Steel trust and the Tin Plate Manufacturers' trust. These trusts are backed by the name men and are only made specific on paper in order to mislead the com munity and to hoodwink congress. If it were shown that the Tin Plate trnat was bnt an evolution of the Sheet Steel trust, aud that the increased duty was secured for the purpose o f protecting the Gal vanized Iron trust and Sheet Steel trust against a competing article, the case would be vulnerable from every point; hence it is pretended that the Tin Piste Manufacturing aseociation Is a new and separate industry struggling for s foot hold through legislative recognition. The boast has been frequently made by some o f the agents of the protected intereste that it costs less to win legisla tion than elections. Judging from the complaints o f the Republican managers in the late canva*s, the Pittsburg peoplo are proceeding on this hypothesis, and Jarrett w ill not lack the funds with which to work a powerful lobby when the emergency calls for action. It must not he supposed that the Sheet Steel trust, which, by increasing the duty on tin plates 1 3-10 cents, was thereby enabled to maintain an advance on gal vanized iron of 1 cent per pound or more, will abandon the rich harvest without s struggle. The 70 sheet iron and sheet steel mills o f the country turn out some 230,000 tons of products yearly. The enforced | advance in the price o f tin plate, a com ; peting article incident to the McKinley : increase o f duty, enables these concerns to maintain a price from 1 cent to 1} cents higher on their output than they conld otherwise do. This means a net addition to their profits yearly o f over $4,000,000. Does any one believe that less than one-fourth o f this enormona sum will be ventured in trying to cir cumvent the repeul of the duty on plates! “ Forewarned is forearmed," and the vigilance which has driven the udvocatee o f the increased dnty on tin plate into silence in debate and op the stump will certainly win in jtpi ie o f the added argu ment o f a corrupting fund. Bnt watch fulness w ill lie required, and the import o f the verdi;:t at the polls on last No vember must 1«! kept before the people. Thu* will our lawmakers lie forced to boldness in dealing with the grout ques tion.—American Industries. A NAPOLEON OF FAKIRS H o w B ill G illh o o ly B e c a m e tb e T e r r o r o f B o d ie .

When Bodie waa In the prime of ita proa- peri ty, about 10 yean ago, there waa among ita citizens a wild Irishman noted for his aharp tongue and howling disregard for money or position, writes Sam Davis in The Examiner of San Francisco. When partially primed with whisky, he was fond of mounting a barrel or dry goods box and Indulging in a style of rough and tumble oratory which, while it was not as polished as the rounded periods of Bob Ingersoll, was nevertheless certain to draw an admir- audienoe. T i e : was Anally discharged from one of the mines for some exhibition of freshness that insulted the dignity of the superintendent, and he got revenge by climbing onto a dry goods box that night in front of the super- tendent’s office and speaking to a large street gathering. Och, boys, didn’t I know the blatherin npstart when he was packin his dinner baa* ket in the Crown Point at Virginia City and his sister was doin the washin for the Belcher mine? The whole outfit came west on an emigrant car, and rneself and some other miners helped scrape the graybacke •fore 1 .............. off the family before they could ¡and in Sil ver City.” This sort of talk became somewhat mo-‘ notonous to the superintendent, who was within hearing, and a man who knew his temperament offered to knock the orator off the box for 120.
