SALUTED-THE RAINY DAY SKIRT.
Stranger for Her Good Sense.
The rainy day skirt has been accord:
ed a lordly salute, and by one of Bos—
ton’s most dignified and best-known
citizens.
Early the last week, when the rain
had been falling for over twenty-four
hours, and the streets and crosswalks
were in such a shape as to well nigh
ruin an ordinary dress skirt «unless the
wearer held it up- nearly to her knees,
one of Boston’s well known women
dressed in a. neat and well-fitting rainy
day costume, was returning from Old
Colony Station, after bidding goodby
to a friend. While walking erectly and
freely across the Lincoln. street cross-
ing, where scores of other women were
holding up one side of their skirts
while the other side dragged in the
mud, she was suddenly confronted by
a middle-aged, courtly gentleman, who
was an entire stranger'to her, and lift—
ing his hat he addressed her thus:
“I beg your pardon, madam, but a.
woman who has the good sense and
courage to wear so comfortable and ap-
propriate a costume on the streets de-
serves the most respectful salute. I
take off my hat to your short skirt."
“I thank you, sir," was the pleasant
reply, “but if all women knew the com-
fort and cleanliness of such a. garment
I am sure they would wear no other on
such a day as this.”
After this short dialogue the two per-
sons passed on, the woman more than
ever convinced that the future of the
short skirt was. fully assured, and the
man glad with the thought that the
age of reason among women was mak.
ing satisfactory strides—Boston Her-
ald. - '
“My wife,” said the tall man, “is as
womanly a woman as you could find,
but she can hammer nails like light-
hing." _
“Wonderful!” sang the chorus.
“Lightning." the tall man continued;
“seldom strikes twice in the samd
place."—Yonkers Statesman. '
“Now that your son is aipartner in-
stead of a clerk, Mr. Hardly, does he
help you in your business as much as
formerly?". ’ ‘
"‘A good deal more."
“That’s fine." .. .
“Yes; he never shows up at the office
: at" Camp Alger,
'Wishington, where 14,000 men of the
National Guardof eight states have
been sworn 1"into the Federal serv1ce;

PRESIDENT McKINLEY REVIEW-
‘IN G THE TROOPS AT
CAMP ALGER.
' On the twenty-eighth of last month
the'President of the United States, for
.the first time in thirty years, inspected
the condition and witnessed the man-
oeuvres of an army prepared to.take
' the .fieldlagainst the enemies of the
nation. This, notable review took place
twelve miles frOm
‘ and are encamped, awaiting orders to?
,_ go to the front. ,
President]. McKinley is an field‘soldie‘r,
and his long and active experience in
. the Civil War, has taught him the
. 'St'tiength.i.a_nd. weakness of volunteer
armies; The parade, therefore was no
mere formal matter—it meant business.
No’detail‘in the appearance of the men
and their'eq uipment escaped the train-
ed and watchful eye of the President,
and he was constantly pointing out to
Secretary Alger, who stood beside him,
.the visable evidences of the lack of
preparation for active campaigning.
It must be acknowledged that such de-
r
feets were extremely noticeable, but
the President was .assured that the
equipment would be thoroughly com-
pleted before another week was over.
From a spectacular point of view the
parade was completely. satisfactory, and
the march past, as illustrated-.by a.
picture in _ Harperfs Weekly, was
stirring and impressive. The enthua
siasmand physicial condition of the
soldiers evoked much‘admiration from
the President’s party, and all the
military authorities agreed that the
hardy lookingzmen with proper ac-
coutremen'ts and arms - would" make as
fine‘a‘ bodyof 'trOOps as could be wished
: for. .
, After the reviewPresident McKinley.
made a long-tour of, inspection around
the camp, in order to satisfy himself
concerning its Condition by personal
and careful observation. Every regi~
ment greeted him with hearty cheers,
and officers and privates were unani-
mous in their satisfaction over his
visit. Indeed the entire nation is to be
congratulated that its present Execu-
tive is desirous and fitted to take an ac-
tive and effective part in preparing the
forces of the country for war.

SNAKE SKIN NECKTIES.
Worn in Maine no a Cure for Rheumatism
. —They Cost 82.50 Each.
The latest and more approved cure
for rheumatism in Maine is for the
afllicted persons to wear neckties made
sample bottle free, as. well as circulars _
above, es ecially those whose ’t‘roubles‘~
from the skinsof the bnlhdedeater
snakes, which are plentiful in- boggy
[places and muddy ponds. Hitherto
rheumatic sufferers have rubbed them-
selves with angle worm oil, hoping i)
make themselves as limber as the
worms are, or with fish oil, because
fish can live outrun the wet without
getting lame. This year the fashion
has changed, and no sufferer will think
of using anything but the silky skins
of the water snakes.
The snakes are skinned, after the
manner employed on eels, and the
the skins are boiled for several hours
in a mixture of hemlock bark and lin-
upon a smooth stick, and placed behind
the stove to dry. When thoroughly
cured they are made up into bowsor
four—in-hand ties, according to size,
and are worn by those who believe in
'their efficacy. The colors are alter-
nate rings of dark bottle green and
straw yellow, and when these tints are
set off with a. bright scarf ‘pin and
placed in contact with a white linen
shirt front, the effect is rather pleasing.
The effect of the ties upon rheuma-
tism has' not been reported fully'
enough to pass accurate judgment,
but the wearers believe they will be
cured if the charms are worn long
enough.
, A good water snake tie is worth $2.50
