A Faehlon Fancy. The smart girl has a uew use for neary shk coru. 011c is ti^um u~4jjv.u- i strating licr cleverness by converting it into a novel corsage decoration. The silk cord is thick and preferably black, and here and there she sews to it big black passementerie balls. These balls are sometimes of silk, and sometimes are studded with jet beads. To look effective the cord should be at least five yards long. She winds it loosely about her neck, crossing it in the back, and keeping one end longer than the other; she does the same thing over and over again, until she has four loops arranged in festoon fashion over thp front of her waist, with each loop longer than the last. After she has made four loops, she ties the two ends at the left side in a bow. the ends of which are either finished with black ai silk tassels or passementerie balls, r* This cord corsage decoration gives a * touch of charm and newness to a plain p] waist, and is a happy variation from w the bead chains.?Woman's Home Com- 8U panlon.

Preachers, editors, temperance societies id charitable organizations?all kinds of irsonal forces are working to reform the orld. But all of them together cannot accomish one-tenth or one-millionth part of the ork that is done by the cold hard law of ipply and demand, the regulations forced jon men by necessity, and by the modern ruegle to keep up. Suppose a great many good men and omen went to Pennsylvania to preach jainst intemperance among the miners. mi _ ?;_tx ' I j. :i_. _ r ine mign& con>cri> tempurarij}* a icw? he temperate men would listen to them ndly. The intemperate men would prob>ly never hear them. But %hen the mine owners, acting; in ac>rd with the unions and with the unions' ipport, refuse to employ an intemperate iner?then temperance work in the mines ;eins in earnest. You may tell a man that his drinking lins his family and himself. He knows it, it still he drinks. When the companies and his fellow orkmen realize that the drunken miner, irough his carelessness, endangers all oth 8?then tjie laws of life step in and renin begins. The intemperate miner may not listen ? the preacher, but he has got to listen to le man that takes his name off the payroll id tells him he can't get on again until he ops drinking. And 60 it is in Chicago, where many emloyers have agreed not to keep on their lyrolls young men clerks and others that rink excessively, smoke cigarettes or gamle on the races. Good men and women may use up their rices in telling the young clerk that the imWor 10 n fnnl ?n/1 tInc-n fUof garette in time is a certain poison, that hisky cheats the brain and ruins life. This talking and writing by the good is it without effect. It saves some men rong in character and open to argument. But it only calls out the self-confident nile or sneer of the average young clerk ho thinks tliut he can take care of himdf. When that young clerk is told that he ill not be needed after next Saturday beiiise he bets on the races, because he nokes cigarettes, because he is seen drunk doubtful company, and because the emoyer does not care for that type of man? len the young clerk's superior smile vanhes. When he draws his pay. and goes home ithout work, he actually knows that imbling and whisky and cigarettes are id things. And he finds it out in time to reform, if ? has brains enough to reform. The ordinary reformer gets very few reilts until the last extreme. The terrible rimnlfl io UMllmrv fa rofnrm nfffln V\n/->niifa ; can't get any more whisky anyhow. The laws of human existence fortunately > not wait for the young man to become terrible example. They say to the mine worker or the erk, "You can't work and get money ii >u drink." When the individual can't get i. oney he tn't drink. He does not have to take the edge; the emnlover takes the pledge for im, saying, "I pledge myself not to pay )u while you eamble, smoke cigarettes, rink or otherwise throw away your chance : being a decent man." Those laws of nature and of our struggle sre, while they seem cruel,, are working r our betterment. It is to?be honed that more and more nplovere will take on behalf of those who ork for them the pledce of temperate livg and enforce it by rubbing names of! the lyroll.
