SHB ACCEPTED THE NOMINATION,
An Atohison man reoently asked a
girl to marry him, and though she had
-been sitting np nights for him for six
months, she replied that nhe would
notify him of her answer by mail.
After spending a week iu suspense, he
received .a letter from her, three
thousand words in length. In it she
explained her position on the tobacoo
question, stated what she had always
advocated the best kind of baking
powder, told him that it was with a
feeling of deep gratification that she
accepted the honor he had done her,
and hoped that she would always faith
fully preserve the traditions of good
housekeeping, eto. He was nearly
dead with exhaustion when he reaohed
the postscript, which read: "You are

CARELESS BACKS.
It is curious how many paople dress
themselves as if they were paper dolls.
They have everything well arranged
and becomingly put on in front, while
the back seems quite a secondary con
sideration. Yet a neat-looking back,
with hair, neck ribbon, waistband,
bows, etc., all accurately and method
ically placed, is most attractive. It
seems hard to realize, in looking at
one's reflection in a mirror, that the
reverse of the picture is quite as much,
if not more, seen by the people iu
goneral, and that a well dressed woman
should soau her back carefully by the
aid of a handglass before leaving her
room. Hair particularly should be
especially studied at the baok as at the
front, with the additional reason lor
care in that to very few women is it
given to possess a pretty nape of the
neck, with the hair growing tidily
about it. "It is the only place where
Nature shows herself a bit of a sloven
she's apt to leave it unfinished,"
fiaid an artist critic, speaking of this
particular spot. Bo it is well to let
judicious art supplement Nature at
this point, and to endeavor to make it
attractive.
NEW WIDE BELTS.
Still belts are out of fashion. Bo
are the narrow ones. It is the girdle
of velvet or ribbon that reigns. More
than half the new gowns this fall are
made with a girdle. The girdles are
wide and soft, and cling etleotively to
the figure. Some of them are finished
at the back in a bow, with long sash
ends. Others are shaped exactly like
a butterfly.
Buttons are much used to trim the
girdles, but they must never be alike.
A novel idea is the girdle of three
folds of velvet, each fold being finished
at the left side with a different button.
Of course, tho buttons must be some
thing out of tho ordinary, or they
cannot be usod. There are other gir
dies which are finished at the side
with three or four bows, one above the
other.
Then there is the girdle shaped like
a corselet and fastened up the front
with tiny, jeweled buttons. A stylish
girdle is made of straps of double
faoed satiu ribbou, alternating with
bands of luce insertion over black rib
bon. Both laee uudjot butterflies are
used to ornament luuny of tho new
girdles. When a butterfly adorns tho
tront of a girdle, then the ribbon is
tied at the Lack in a butterfly bow,
HOW TO 1JE A UEAUIY AKTKII FIFTY.
A bright womuu, when auplaudod
recently f.r her goodness, begged her
friend to let tho matter drop, "l'or,"
t-he said, whimsically, "tliouh I do

treated the matter as a jost, but there
is reaiiy sense and truth in the saying
that beauty in later life, in either man

They Spin by II ami.
The hum of the spinning wheel is
still a familiar souud in Block Islaud,
a quaint aud interesting resort in
summer and a miniature world iu
winter, in whioh the habits aad
eustoms are those of one hundred aud
fifty years ago. The island is fi'teen
miles off tho P.hode Island shore and
almost directly south of stormy Point
Judith.
The heads of thirty Blook Island
families set sail in fishing boats tho
other day and pushed up Ihe Thames
RivortoOakdalo, where they left heaps'
of wool to be carded into rolls for hand
spinning. The rolls will bo spun aud
knitted into stockings and mittens for
the protection of the hardy islanders
against the bleak winter winds ef the
Atlantic
There are times during the winter
when the wind sweeps across tho tree
less land at a velocity of eighty-tonr
miles an hour, and women take their
lives in their hands when they venture
out of doors. Tho isolation of the isl
and is almost complete.
John Schofield established tho first
woolen mill in Connecticut noar Oak
dale, where the carding was done by
power cards. In 17118 tho Block Isl
anders began to send wool to the mill
to be carded into rolls, aud generation
after generation have kept up the
praotioe. Formerly mauv bags of
grain accompanied the wool, and grist
and woolen mills were kept ruuning
day aud night, while tho fishermen

Eskimo Mother ami Bab v.
The Eskimo aro very fond of theit
children. There are seldom mauy ol
thorn in one family, aud those that are
are very well taken care of, locordmg
to an Eskimo's notion, which, of
course, quite fits an Eskimo baby,
Thoy seldom cry, and lie around and
suok blubbor with great contentment
all day long. Sometime!) a very fond
mother will make for her baby a queer
kind of candy. There is a certain
great bird which tho men shoot when
ever thoy get a ohauoo, and whioh has
bright red feet. The mother will out
off these feet, and draw out tho bones,
and by blowing into tho skiu iultato it
to its utmost capacity. Then sho will
fill the little rod case with marrow,
and tio it up for an extra good gift to
her baby. The youngsters like this
queer candy as well as our rhildren
liko chocolate creams, which, to be
sure, aro not half so pretty to look at.
When an Eskimo baby dies, his
father and mother grieve ovor him
very sincerely. Ouo Arctio traveler
tells of a mother who brought her
child with her to tho United Ktatos.
It died on the voyage, and tho mother
was unconscious for raoro than a day
afterward. The baby was buried in a
little New England cemetery, aud, ac
cording to Eskimo custom, his play
things were laid on the gravo. Among
other things was a littlo tin pail,
whioh a ooilor had given tho child,
and somo naughty littlo American
child stole it from tho grave. Tho
mother was iucousolublo. Chicago

hastily snambllng to his feet he rode hur

For nearly two months Mrs. Hoduklnson
was oonflited to her bed. When at last she
was able to sit up. she was but a wreck of
her former self. A pain, most sovore and
excruciating coursed up and down her bnck
at all times of the day nod nlgbt. The left
side of the back from the shnnlder blade to
the hip was particularly affected. In nil,
five physicians, two of them noted special

The Great Harrier to the Xorth role.
The great obstacle in flndiog the
North Pole is, cf course, the all-pervading
ice. During tho summer, the
season of constant sunlight, the Arctio
seas open somewhat and the explorers
push their ships faithor and farther to
the north, with the hope strong within
them that they, of all the venturesome
rpirits who have sought the Pole, will
find it, and will win undying glory.
But these opon seas whioh stretch ont
so invitingly, are luring them to their
destruction. Weeks have been pass
ing while the stanch craft of the ex
plorers has been sailing north. Tho
sun sinks lower and lower in the south
west, and at last leaves the region on
velopod in the long Arctio night. The
pathway of water between the fields of
loe alowly closes. The ship, now in
all probability pushing her way des
perately toward the south, makes less
and less progress and finally stops.
The ice gathers round her and presses
her with an embraoe that constantly
grows tighter and more deadly. She
is in a trap. She groans and cries like
a living tiling in pain as her frame is
slowly crushed ; bnt the remorseless
ice only squeezes her the harder, and
finally she becomes broken and use
less, and thodo who brought her here
leave her to her desolate fate and be
gin a journey southward over the ioe
a journey whioh, for many, ends i
graves in the frozen solitudes. Dl

the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not duo to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a const ipated condi

family laxative, Hyrupof Figs, prompt,
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millionsof families, and Is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who valuo good health. Its beneficial
effects are duo to tho fact, that it is thn
ono remedy whioh promotes Internal
cleanliness without debilitating the

A Hundred Miles an Hour.
An eleotrionl engineer has been ex
hibiting in London tho model of his
proposed single rail eluctrio line for
speeds of 150 miles au hour. The rail
is fixod on a V-shaped trestle, and runs
up into tho body of the car, whioh, as
it were, runs astride of it. Tho car
rum on twelve bearing wheels, and
seats 135 passengers, with space for
thou baggage. One of the diiuoulties
met with in schemes for excessively
high spoed travel is the tendency of
tho car to mn off the traok. By ruu
ning tho rail within the ear the latoral
tondenoy of tho train is overoomo.
But in this late sohome the great dif
ficulty seems to be the passenger.

Many different answers have bees
given to tho quostion : "How high are
the greatest ocean waves?" M. Dibos,
a marine engineer and laureate of the
Institute of Frauoo, has lately mado
some personal observations on this
subject. He describes waves onoouut
cred in the North Atlantio which had
a height of at least forty-five feet.
Driven beforo a heavy wind, waves
may advance at tho rate of from thirty-five
to forty miles an hour.aud suoh
nudulationa of tho ocoam may travol
more than 000 milos fro.n the poiut
where the wind created them, without
