Pledgedi but to Truth, to Liberty and Law| No Favors Win us and no Fear Shall Awe, M'HENRY, ILLINOIS, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1895. Milanese Dress In the last Century. The dress of any period is always a matter of interest to women and to wise philosophers. The Milanese dress of this period, before French fashions invaded it, was fearfully and wonderfully made and weighty to wear. The women robed themselves in brocades and silks so solid and substantial that a dress would last a lifetime and sometimes descend from mother to daughter. Such also were the coats and waistcoats of the sterner sex,' vfho strutted about in their unbending garments like so many hogs in armor. . Consistently with this style of dress the hair of both sexes underwent the most elaborate treatment at the hands of the artist thereunto addicted, an archi­ tect in his way, who delighted to build the lofty pile of tresses tier above tier aspiring to the skies. Then came the powdering, an art by itself, perfected by a genius of the age, who devised what may be called, Without figure of speech, the powdering chamber, from whose perforated ceiling the powder fell like snow from the heavens. Every well appointed mansion had its powdering room. The patient, released at length from the hands of the hairdresser, en­ tered the room, wrapped from neck to foot in an ample sheet. Tlio floury shower began to fall, and within a few minutes the patient emerged, half choked, but beautiful to behold as a cabbage covered with hoar frost and not a hair disarranged upon his sacred head.--Macmillan's Magazine. Take That Desk. Able Editor--Want a position, eh? Do you understand the Irish question? * Applicant--Um, to tell the truth, I don't know anything about the Irish question. "Are you familiar with international law?" "No; I can't say that I am." "Have you followed up the various African and polar explorations and have you all the localities at your finger ends, 60 that you could write column after column on the subject without ex­ hausting yourself?" " I--I never took any interest in such things." "Are you thoroughly familiar with French, German and Russian politics?" "I don't know anything about Eu­ ropean squabbles and don't want to." "Young man, take that desk there. I shouldn't wonder if you could make a paper that sensible people would like to read."--London Tit-Bits. 1 Local1 Namts For Virginia Seer, j The commonest and the best known all our cervidas is our old friend, the Virginia deer, It is the most persistent animal of its kind, politely but firmly resisting all attempts at complete ex­ termination. Wherever there are large tracts of forest,, and also ihmany places where there are not, it ranges "all the way from soufriern Florida to the Saskatchewan, and from New Bruns- wick to Idaho and the Mexican border. In Florida and Texas it is a small and insignificant creature in comparison with those found in the Virginia moun­ tains and farther north; In the west and northwest, this creature rejoices in a fine assortment of popular names. Here are a few of them, in the order of their preference: White tailed; deer, fan tailed dest, flag tailed deer, long tailed deer, red deer and fallow deer. The last two mentioned are particularly ob­ jectionable, for they rightly belong to two well known European species. It io no wonder that so many men are deter­ mined to nanio this creature from the appearance of its tail, for that member is so long, so bushy, so white under­ neath and so very noticeable when its owner is running from you that the1 provocation is very great.--St. Nicho­ las. v' A Fine Criticism on Tennyson. Young girls weep in listening to "The Idyls of the King." Certainly, when awhile ago we heard the legend of "Elaine,"or "Enid," read, we saw the fair heads drooping under the flowers which adorned them and white shoul­ ders heaving with furtive emotion. And how delicate was this emotion! Tenny­ son has not rudely trenched upon truth and passion. He has risen to the heights of noble and tender sentiments. He has gleaned from all nattire and all history what was most lofty and amiable. He had chosen his ideas, chiseled his words, equaled, by the diversity df his style, the pleasantness and perfection of social elegance in the midst of which we read them. His poetry is like one of those gilt and painted stands in which flowers of the country and exotics mingle in art­ ful harmony their stalks and foliage, their clusters and cups, their scents and hues. It seems made expressly for these wealthy, cultivated, free business men, heirs of the ancient nobility, new leaders of a new England. r It is part of their luxury as of their morality. It is an elo­ quent confirmation of their principles and a precious article of their drawing room furniture.--M. Taine. /u , - v A Lucky Backache. At the Oxford I began to make some­ thing of a reputation. I produced "III Was Only Long Enough," and it caught hold of the public fancy and held on to it. The curious thing about the song is the simple nature of the circumstance to which I attribute its success. The prime feature of this lyric, in addition to its pretty tune and the idea, was the quaint, cpecnliar walk by which I point­ ed the rendering of the chorus. That "walk" was not a voluntary creation of mine. It was thrust upon me. I had a very bad rick in the back on the night I produced the song, and that strange step was the result of being in pain. But the audience roared and roared again with laughter, and.I never after­ ward omitted the "walk." It went all over London and was absolutely my fortune. A pain in the back made the song the "Ta-ra-ra" of that day.--"Ad­ ventures of Arthur Roberts." He Wanted a Pass* The following extract is! from a letter of advice to an Oregon railway presi­ dent : " There is nothing so important as the good will of your patrons, and there is no better way for you to secure this than by issuing passes to influential per­ sons when cogent reasons are shown. Now, last week I wrote to Mr. Stone to send me a Pass to Corvallis, as I wanted to go down to see some friends, and my legs are rather weak, but he, with a heart as hard as his name, replied that the trouble in my limbs was probably caused by not using them enough, and told me I could use the track to walk on. This sort of language is uot calcu­ lated to create a friendly feeling, to say the least. I would like to have a pass to Corvallis--some time when you think of it."--Portland (Or.) Sun. Vidocq's Memory. , Vidocq, the great French detective* had so excellent a memory for names and faces that, after having seen % criminal once and learned his name, he never forgot him, but would often iden­ tify him under the most subtle dis­ guises. A French forger once escaped from custody, went abroad and remained for 11 years. In. the meantime he be­ came quite bald and lost an eye and part of his nose in a drunken brawl. Fancying that no one could detect him, he returned to Paris and went boldly about- the streets, but being arrested on suspicion he was brought before Vidocq, who at once, recognized him and sent him back to work out his term. Most Disagreeable. Miss Buzbuz--Do you sell postage stamps? _ '*' j, j$§3 Drug Clerk--Yes'm. 1 Miss Buzbuz--Well, let me have five twos, please, and give me ny:e ones, won't yon? The last ones I bought ail stuck together in my pocket before I'd been carrying them around a week.--• Roxbury Gazette. Couldn't Make It Worse.

"Which probably destroyed his," piped the thin boarder in the tenor voice from the foot of the table. * "His what?" demanded the landlady sternly. "Peace of mind," explained the thin boarder apologetically. Everybody cried out in applause at this. --Exchange. P. SWSITH, Watchmaker & Jeweler SScHENRYi ILLINOIS.

There was astonishment in a Paris cafe recently when a new waiter pock­ eted the tips < he received as his own property, and he was arrested on the complaint of his employer. It is the cus­ tom in Paris restaurants employing more than one waiter for the garcons to deposit in a box all the tips received by them, and at the close of the day the head waiter opens this box, counts the money and divides it pro rata, after de­ ducting a certain percentage for the pro­ prietor for breakage. This head waiter is called "the corporal." In Boston head waiters are called "captains," but they do not appear to have any such military designation in New York.-- New York Tribune, THE BEST MADE.
