An old swindle is being revived and should be watched for by all persons likely to become victims of the wily confidence man. It is the note came. A man goes to his victims, generally a farmer, and re pre sents himself as agent tor some agricultural implement. He wants the farmer to sell for him in this section and presents a paper for him to sien. It is a promissory note written in such a wa7 as to read like a con tract, but after it is signed the con tract part can be torn off making note of it. Thr best way to do when a man comes with such a scheme is to turn the dogs on him. Woods College ol business and Shorthand offers special rates to teachers during the spring and sum mer months.

Becker, Demo cratic member from Hennepin county in which Minneapolis is situated caused a sensation in the Minnesota Legislature, on February 3d, by in traducing a bill prohibiting the manufacture or sale of crinoline The bil) in full is as follows: bF.c. 1 it shall lie uniawtui lor any persons to manufacture or sell, or to offer tor sale, or use, or permit to manufacture, sale or use of any hoop skirt or hoopskirts, or anything lik thereunto, within the limits of Minnesota. Sec. II. Any persons violating this act, or in any way assisting the violating of any provision of this act shall be punished by a tine not less than $5 nor more than If 25 for eacl oilense, and shall be imprisoned in the county jail for a period not exceed ing thirty days. 1 he vexed controversy concerning crinoline, which has been raging in papers of late, is due to the dearth of Fashion news raiher than to actual facts. Whilst newspaper fashion writers have busied themselves dis cussing the appalling consequences of the revival of the hoopskirt m Pans and whilst the influence of the Princess of Wales has been appealed to stand as a barrier against this com ing threatening event, the leading dressmaking houses of the French capital have not yet made a single crinoline for any of their customers All there is to be said on this subject is that the several pretty novel models of skirts coming from Paris are as a general rule flat around the waist with considerable fullness at the bottom In order to thoroughly comprehend the actual tendency of Fashion and to get reliable information as to the best way of securing fine models of these stylish skirts, one must consult the McDowell Fashion Magazines: La Mode de J'aris and Paris A Ibutn of Fashion are invaluable to dress makers and sell at $3.50 a year, or 35 cents per copy. The Jrench dress maker,$3.oo per year, or 30 cents a copy, is noted for its practical styles. La Mode, 1.50 a year, or 15 cents a month; is the Famiiy Fashion Jour nal, par excellence.

Democratic enthusiasm cannot be washed out, snowed out, blowed out or froze out. The north wind blew the snow fell and the.e were icicles hanging from the trees, houses, and the whiskers of men, but these little annoyances did not count when it came to inaugurating a democratic President. Mr. Cleveland proved his inditlerence to them by declining to deliver his inaugural address in the Senate chamber, instead of from the open-air platform on the east front of he Capitol, before which, standing in the snow storm, were about 10 000 people, lie thought, and cor rectly, too, that if these people were good enough democrats to brave the storm to see him few of them could get near enough to hear him de liver his inaugural address and take the oath of office, he was good enough democrat to take off his hat, storm or no storm, and do it, and he did. 1 nere isn t money enough in exis tence to buy from the President the worn bible upon which he took the oath of omce in 1885, and upon which Chief Justice f uller adminn tered to him the same oath Saturday it is more valuable than gold or precious stones; it was his mother's, and Mr. Cleveland has never for gotton the the commandent, 'Honor thy father and mother etc Not since the second inauguration of G.ant has there been such disagreeable inauguration day, but the only noticeable effect the weather had was to keep a few men whose health was not robust out of the parade, which was over three hours long as it was, to disfigure and dis arrange the house decorations and to postpone the fireworks. Everything else went off according to pre gramme, just as would have been done had the day been clear and balmy as that on which Mr. Cleve land was first inaugurated. On the reviewing stand with the President and Vice President were a large number of prominent ladies and gentlemen, among them Mrs. Cleve land and Mrs. Stevenson It is difficulty to say which of the democratic governors in tne process ion received the grandest ovations along the line of march, but Peck, of Wisconsin, Flower, of New York and Russell, of Massachusetts, have good reason to put the day down among the proudest of their lives. It is generally conceded that the Inaugural ball was the most success tul, lrotn every point ol view ever held, and that the decorations of of the ball room were handsomer and more artistic than had ever been seen here. The members of the com mittee in charge started out to make this inauguration a memorable one in every respect, and they succeeded. It was a great day for Grover Cleveland, a greater one for the democratic party, and greatest of all for the country, beginning, as it did. an era of real, simon-pure demo cratic government, not the pinchbeck kind the republicans have given us, President Cleveland's inaugural address was a model of its kind. A plain honest, straightforward state ment of his intention to carry out to its fullest extent the platform upon which he was nominated and elected and particularly noticeable was the complete ignoring of the Hawaiia annexation scheme. It is evident, and particularly gratifying to demo crats, that Mr. Cleveland intends to investigate that subject more thoroughly than Mr. Harrison did before committing himself, and as he put himself, in his address, squarely on record as opposed to subsidies and bounties of all kinds it is certain that if Hawaiia gets annexed its sugar planters will get no bounty on their sugar. The Vice-President, in his address. upon assuming the chair of the Senate at the opening of its extra session, made an excellent impression upon the Senators as well asup'vi ue public. His popularity with ti rank and file of the democratic par", is un bounded and what is mon 3 the point it is all deserved. He .. made of the right sort of stuff. . news paper man was telling him vat he supposed the dignity of his of fice would prevent a resun., ion of the free and easy method in .;ue in his office, when he was first w. 'itant Post Master General, and the "..ys" were always welcome. Mr. Ste. :n- son laughed and said; "My new of fice will make no difference.

He signalized his retirement from public life by sending of course at govern ment expense a letter to every Postmaster and railway clerk in the country.
