There are very few bloom ers among them . Bloomers are noth ing but pantalettes, worn under a skirt that has only slight speaking acquaint ance with the shoo tops. The prevail ing phemale paraphanalia is the Turk ish costume of trousers with pillow slip legs to them. Even these slack leather garments are much preferable to the beastly bloomers and in a brief space of periods the jijllow-slips will contract to..graceful-.proportfe. "5You cannot get away from the fact that since the Garden of Eden closed its gates and made an assignment, men's garb has been much more rational than that of women, and the dear creatures do not merit opprobrium for craving at least a passing and temporary emancipation from their thraldom." " The nomination of -Maxwell by the populists in the face of his repeated declarations that he did not wish to be a candidate, is but. another evidence of the desperate straits they are in for ju dicial timber. Had therebtwn' a mem ber of that party in existence whose qualifications for the positron of supreme judgo were such that a shadow of a hope might be entertained for his election, it is fair to presume that ho would have been chosen in preference to the venera ble republican . Possibly, they did the best they could under the "circumstances but it must be admitted that this thing of pulling a dbtaged old maa out of the retirement of private life and jforce him J to do battle against -certain - defeat is cruel in the extreme' It was long-since discovered that the pop-party was capa ble of almost'any foolish of inhuman ac tion, but this is really carrying things further than any one expected. St. Paul Republican. In closing an editorial upon the sub ject of "What shall the Farmer Do?" the Kearney Hub says: Make irrigation the basis of the new agriciilturo in Ne braska. It will enable the farmer to raise many things that he dare not risk without irrigation. With hay crops, and fruit, and dairying, and butter making, and poultry, and honey, and onough of the staples to provide merqly-for his in terest payments and working off his principal, he will soon get'but of debt, and once out he will be able to stay out. But the western farmer must realize fully and completely, b6foro he can ever hope to right himself oh' tho financial side, that he cannot raise wheat to com pete with India and Argentine or corn and wheat to buck the gamblers on change, without getting the worst of the deal. 'xl When the populists went outside of their known party lines for a judicial candidate who has never openly avowed their political isms, it was done evident ly with a feeling that they had care for their party and its fate. There are mul tiplying evidences that a great many of that party are making up their minds that populism is scarcely ""worth strug gling for any longer. Fremont Tribune " THE SECRET OF MAY.

When Edward Burroagh,the Quaker "Apostle of' London," whom George Fox called his "Son of Thunder," was passing through Charing Cross on his way to the city, npon the' M22d day of the ninth month," 1658, he ioiaid the streets crowded with people. "The guards of soldiers, horse and foot, " says he, 'stayed me and stopped my horse and said I might not pass that yvay. Nei ther, indeed, IwiU," adds he, "by rea son of the throng of people. " When he inquired the reason of "this thronging and pressing of multitudes," he was told that they all came out "only to see a dead image and invented fea ture, without life or breath, which would be. carried this way.." -It was net the NEW Elegant Hew Dress Goods at Rennie's. in:;Mne Dress Goods In our Shoe department we offer -.special indiicements.yf pa- dies' and Gent's Mne great Protector's body, huta'dead image of wood or -wax, arrayedand decked with foolish inventions, and it "was to be carried from place to place that day between Somerset House and Westmin ster, as was usual in the time of popery, for multitudes of foolish people to gaze upon and wonder after and admire. " The zealous Quaker thought the statue of Oliver Cromwell all tho more an in sult to his memory because "he-was once a great instrument in the hands of the Lord to break down many idola trous images and grievous idols. And have they now, said my spirit, made a costly image of him? And are such as were ouce his soldiers, who pulled down images and crosses, and all such popish like stuff wherever they met with it, now guarding his image and watching over it, and his children and officers following it, multitudes of the inhabit ants of London gazing after it? This is sad, said L and a great pity. Is this the end and final farewell of once noble Oliver?" ' Edward Burrough. concluded that it was "a judgement" upon Cromwell to be thus wronged after his death, because he had suffered the servants of the Lord (tho Quakers) to be persecuted and im prisoned for crying against such things as were popish. He says that Cromwell himself would have been angry at it. "I knew the man when he was living and bad the knowledge of his spirit And lam perswaded if it had been asked him in his lifetime if such an image should be made like him, and then set up in such a place, I believe he would have denied, I say, and said, 'It shall not Wtherd" -f orv"mu,- -wli err Irani' dead: If it had been his bones," added the Quaker, "I should not have had aught against it, whereas it was but an image made by hands." So Burrough went home and wrote his "Testimony Against Great Idolatry. " Westminster Gazette. THE HEART IN OLD AGE. L Misconception That Canses Humanity Needless Anxiety. A storv told bv Dr. G. W. Balfour in ais hook on "Tho Senile Heart" -ell ieserves tho double purpose of marking ihe practical process which scientific medicine has achieved within the past 50 years and of administering a much needed word of comfort and encourage ment to those numerous workers who, is age approaches, begin to feel uncom fortable about the regions of the heart. "Many years ago," said Dr. Balfour, "a gentleman of 77 consulted me as to severe fainting fits to which he was liable. A distinguished consultant, since dead, had told him that these attacks were duo to fatty degeneration of tho heart and that treatment would be of uo avail. The heart's impulse was im perceptible, the sounds faint, but pure, the arteries firm, but neither hard nor tortuous. I told the patient that experi ence had taught me that hearts supposed to be fatty were often weak. Tho result of treatment was a steady improvement in health and in force of heart beat, and the patient lived to be 90 and did not die of heart failure in the end, but from senile asthenia. " To many people "fatty heart" is a perfect bugbear. But this is what Dr. Balfour has to say about the diagnosis of the disease : "It is absolutely impossible to diagnosticate fatty degeneration of the heart. "We may surmise its existence, but we can only be certain of its presence when we see it post mortem. " If many middle aged and old men could but have this written deep upon the tablets of their consciousness, what loads would be lifted from their minds. Yet doctors of small experience roll out a diagnosis of fatty heart with sonorous satisfac tion, unheeding that to mqyy a trem bling father of a family it is like the sound of a deathknelL On the question of treatment Dr. Balfour is equally do cided. "We are often told," he says, "that there is danger in treating a fatty heart Yet the result of treat ment in the caso recorded was a cure, proving that a heart supposed to bo fatty was only weak and that a life supposed to be over only wanted the fillip of a few minims of digitalis to sarry it on to almost the extreme of hu man longevity." So, true is it, even in scientific medicine, that a little experi ence and common sense outweighTmany 3hiploads of mere abstract theorizing. London Hospital.
