The Philadelphia Record is 0011‘ vinced‘ that good times are coming. It sees signs of business betterment in variOus- directions, and although it re- gards the nature of protection, as fun- damentally and everlastingly wrong, it appears to. think that the coming wave 'of prosperity will surmount all such impediments. We like the cheerful spirit which our contemporar y displays. Ff all the newspapers and all the peo- ple would habitually look on the bright side and make the best of the infelici- ties in business, our periods 'of depres- sion would be. robbed of half their ter- nors. The croaker has much to an- swer fore The Record quotes Mr. George M. Pullman’s remark that “after all, prosperity depends upon the people themselves; if they make more than they spend, and keep at it, the country will prosper,” and comments thereon in this pleasant vein: “Of course, the capacity to save pre- supposes the opportunity to earn; but with that opportunity restored there need ‘be no apprehension respecting popular thrift. The people have been taught the lesson of saving in the hard~ est of schools and they will not speed- ily forget it.” There are many hopeful indications of improvement in business, and we be- lieve the proper course for every good citizen is to make the most of every sign of revived industrial activity. m- _, g Y ; ,...,.,........- peril of Corsets. A telegraph dispatch from Bellaire, Ohio, recounting a fatal lightning storm at that place, recounts a new and fatal ‘danger in the wearing of steel- ribbed corsets!" The sad news item Three young ladies were :1. runs thus: killed yesterday evening by lightning while they were on their way home from the M. E. church at J acobsburg. The victims were Minnie McGuire, daughter of Rev. Thomas McGuire; Alpa Taylor, daughter of William Tay- lor; and Emma White, daughter of Simon White, all aged about nineteen years. It is believed that the steel corsets worn by the girls that were killed were the chief cause of their death, as a Miss Pohring, who was only stunned, wore none.” The old time ditty used to run this wise: “ Whi‘e thousands die by clashing swords. Ten thou 11an more l1y1-orset boards ” This should now be changed to read: I” to old ave you’d prol011g your days, Don’t be caught out in steel-ribbed stays. 4A; er FEMININE CHAT. Great days for the shirt waist girl. In very truth “There is music in the air’ ’these days. The postal card is the refuge of the lazy and the super-economical. The fin-de-siecle young man makes his evening calls in bicycle attire. And now the ice cream bowl goes on many an evening pilgrimage to the nearby confectioner’s. A few unhappy ' peaches have ap- peared on hotel tables, but in the home the strawberry rules the hour. at hand. Stilts are even more difficult to man- age than a bicycle; that is the reason presumably that the small boy so thor— oughly enjoys them.. Some disappointments one grows ac- customed. to - in anticipation, others come likea slap in the face, and they are the ones hardest to bear. Those who are debarred from sea bathing try to make it up in Turkish ablutions and imagine that the plunge in the pool is equal to the plunge in the surf. The cheap lawn wrappers are a per- fect joy to the stay-at-home women, as they are dainty and cool and can be worn with perfect property to the home breakfast table. One never realizes what a. big conti— nent this is until some one very dear to us lies seriously ill at the other side of it. ' John Coles,.a war veteran, was talk- ing incoherently on Wall street last evening, and his actions attracted the attention of Chief Bradley who locked him up. This morning Coles gave his residence as Bridgeport and on the recommendation of Chief Bradley he was-discharged byJudge Gregory. OLD EMPERORXfiONEw EMPEROR. How William the Grandfather Has Been .Mmle to Contradict HlsGrilndson. The last “Bismarck Year Book” sheds a r-athe1 peculiar light upon the young Emper01’s speech about the men who were “mere instruments” in the hands of. his grandfather when Ger- many was unified. It contains several letters, hitherto unpublished, fro-n1 Emperor 'Willium’ I. to his Chancellor. If these letters Show anything they show the fulness of gratitude felt by the mona1ch ton ard the man who had made him gIeat. Again and again the old man manifested his thankfulness to Bismarck, his confidence in him. and his modesty in yielding to him all the credit for the achievements that made the present empire a possibility. The farewell Words in some of the letters are: “God be With you. Your IVilliam; "’ “Your truly devoted “Wil- liam;” “Your 111.111 .1111 king, Willi’amf’ “Your t1 uly devoted and thankful ”Wil— liam.” In a birthday letter written on April 1, 1881, the 11 LIDGIOII‘ apologizes for not oiferin-g congratulations in per- son; he was ill, otherwise he would have called to see the man “whose creative genius” had evolved and car- ried out "so many vast plans." VVrit— ing in 1882 the old man spoke of the labor rescripts, the prototype of the young Emperor's labor rescxipts, as “Bismarck’s own exclusive work.” In 1888 he referred to Bismarck as the one “who wrought out and guided the mighty events that led to the glorious peace” of Frankfort. In every letter the old Emperor in~ quired after Bismarck’s health, not pcrfunctorily, but with an earnest so: licitude and affection which are pa- thetic in their simple honesty. It is doubtful if the com. rast between the modest honesty of the grandfather and the pompous pi-zsum‘ption of the grandson could be marked more clearly than it is by the dublication of these letters immediate iy after William us last ‘specch. THE EMPRESS OF GERMANY. She Loves Her Nursery Better than the \Vliole Empire. The Empress of Germany, also Queen of Prussia, and just one year older than her energetic mate, Emper- or VVilliam H., is the proud mother of seven handsome children, and came to the throne with her husband in 1888. The Empress Victoria Augusta plainly shows in her face that she is a con- tented, wholesome and unambitious woman. She takes no part in politics, is a happy wife,‘"a devoted mother and ardently religious. Since her corona- tion she has, fiom her husband’s treasury, expended something like $6,— 000,000 on the buiiding of churches alone;s she gives largely in chaiity, but he1 delight is he: nursery, and it is a proverb in Ger'mang that the Empress suffers mOIe keen anklety over the croupy cough of one of the my :11 babies than the most momentous question .if- fectin mg the whole Empire, though her husband and the nation respect her none the less for this feminine t1ait and her maternal solicitnd-e.—Phila- deiphia Ledger. In Better Business. “Why did I cease to Be an agitator. a socialist and an advocate Of utopian ideas?” echoed the man of affairs to a former friend who is still working on the pioblem of making this an ideal world "I’ll tell you just as frankly as I can. While I was sentimentalizing about the masses and grinding out hu- manitarian cant wherever I could get an audience, I made the startling dis- covery that I was not making my own home as much of a heaven on. earth as it might be. I was neglecting my household in an-effort to reclaim the world. “But such sacrifices must be made in the great cause.” "Not a bit of it. Our first duty is to those akin to us. What awakened me was a wife working night and day to get along on scanty means, one little one staying at home from school be- cause he had no shoes, another wear- ing clothes that excited ridicule of oth- er children, the coal bin empty and a very short allowance in the larder. I concluded then and there that the rest of the world would have to get along the best it could until I had created some sunshine in my own home. I’ve been kept very busy in this new line of Work, finding some time, however, to afford relief where immediate re. lief was needed.” The visiting agitator looked much paler than when he had entered and went out chewing his mustache.— Detroit Free Press. Typewritlng Injurious. Now that type-writers are found in homes almost as commonly as the writing desk, it is perhaps, pcitinent to remind women that the use of the machine is very hurtful to a piano player. The sharp staccato movements of the writing machine stiffen the fingers and tend to lessen the sup- pleness necessary for the piano keys.— Philadelphia Ledger. Costly Laces. Laces can be made to represent large sums of money. The Astors have been credited with owning lace worth about $3,000,000, and the Vand-erbilts value theirs at $4,000,000. The Pope is said to be content with $75,000 rep- resented in lace. and the Princess of Wales can boast of $250,000 worth Criminal Extravagance.

There is as much mystery concern- ing the origin of the steel pen as there is about most of the simple articles in common use. The Paper WOrld says that a story long taken for granted gives the honor of invention to a well known manufacturer. In 1830 he was a journeyman jeweler in Eng- land. One day he accidentally split a fine steel tool. Shortly afterward he was called upon to sign a receipt, and as he had mislaid his quill pen, he took up the piece of pointed steel, and was Very much surprised that it wrote better than the quill. He was quick to see the great possibilities of his chance discovery, and he began the manufacture of steel pens. While he may not have been the original in- ventor, we are indebted to him for their general introduction. “Do you remember our first quar- rel, dearest ?” “Yes, love.” “I said you were just as mean as vou could be.” “I believe you did." “Oh, Willem, how mistaken ’ was !"
