WAS MOTHER EVE A BLONDE? The Charms of Gollen Hair Briefly Con- sidered. GLEANINGS FOR THE FAIR SEX Tho Geography and Legal Aspect of n Kiss —~The Work of Wo Varlous Fiolds—The Luatest Fashions —Personalities, Those who affect blondo hair may rejoico that thoy are not only in the fashion, but are followers of color as old as the race and up- held by along line of royal and noted mem- bers of tho sex. Mrs, Mallon, & writer in Ladies' Home Journal, revives the story that Eive was a blonde, whilo the hair of Venus was, 50 it is told, a perfect golden. Lucrotia Borgia, Lady Macbeth, Queen Klizabuth. Anno of Austria, Marie Antoinette, were all light mired. However, this does not mako less marvelous the beauty of black hair. which from the jet black, which shiues iike ebony, to the dark brown, with ius glints of gold, cannot bo surpassed., Tho exvlauation as 1o the differonce in the hair is told very funnily in an old book. It is said: “That heaven sent upon carth many women with golden hair 50 thatthey might charm the other half of humanity. Seeing this the dovil, who hates men, sent cooks, Tnese, with their sauces and ragouts, disordered the Buman Jiver and produced thoe desired result —dark skin and hair.” Howover, the color most esteemed just now is au ashy blonde, a shado that no dye will produce, and which, as it must have a clear white complexion ac companying it, as_weli as biack brows and Inshes, is countea by artists at once tho most peculiar and artistic contrast. 1 to give his wife 81 him, This fulfil- exucted to the ut after the man A marrica man offc for every kiss she wavo ment of their bargain she termost farthing.

It is the le aspeets of this caso that are interestine and fmportant. The point is, could his creditors claim this mozey in pavment of their dues? Different states take different views of such trausfers of money. Inthis case the cred- ators claimed that it was illegal, the woman having eiven no ideration in return. For, arguoe the law s for the complain- ants, a kiss 18 no consideration, a married woman is bound to kiss her husband, that being one of his rights, toe precedent for this view being found in 142 Pennsylvania, "This case, 1t appears, is that of o married man who transferred certain properties to his wife on her agroeing to porform certain acts which her nusband desired. After his failure the creditors brought suit to recover this property. This suit they gmmed, the judgo deciding that the hus band’s request was within his rights, and bis desire to peaceably settie them by tho payment of money gave the transaction no standing in court, The offonse was, more- guravated by the fuct that he was in debt at the vime. In the first case it was pleaded that the dollars for the kisses being extended over a long period of time tho question of indebtedness to rradimru‘nt the time of pavment could not hold. This wuas grantea, but did not overrule the previous decision that the woman, under the law, had given no consideration, therefore the trans- fer of monoys was illegal and could be claimec by creditors. e .

She does her own plowhing, seeding and barrowing, operates her largo farm with no other counsel than her own good judgment, and has added a quarter section of land to her domain with the proceeds of u fow years’ industry. She wears when engagod in out- door work a short skirt which falls just be- low the knee and has knee brecches to mateh it.

At the school election in Littlo Rock there were two tickoets in the field. The Women's Chronicle split the tickets, taking the best man from each side. Although it poured all dav long more than 3,000 votes were cast as against 800 at_ the last election, and the split ticket was elected by an empbatio majority. The bravery of this action can the better bo appreciated whon 1t is added that both women were schoolteachers and by pursuing the course they did th jeopardized their positions in the event of de- feat. A Mrs. Tngalls has petitioned the United States senaio to abolish the deadly cigarette. The lady hails from St. Louts, where she has wide opportunities for observing the per- nicious influence of imbecility’s cigars, but this is no valid reason for her action.

FOUND WOOLEN AND COTTON FACTORIES Keep the Freight Gaing of the Railr and the Profits of New Kngland facturers on Westera I Right Here at 1 Brrieroxtaing, O, July ~To the Editor of Tue B Tue Bee of June 23 says editorially: “Manufuoturing makes a oy, and it looks as if Omaha wero notas am- bitious for factories proportionately & some of the smaller Nebraska cities. We uneed acd must have moro factories.” Tne Bee has thus sounded a keynote which should be kept sounding until Omaha sball “have more factories.”” | spent the month of May in Omaha and then went with an excursion to Deadwood, South Dakota. As early as 1550 I passed through Nebraska on the Uaion Pacific railway, and I think 1 understand something of the possivilities of Omuha, with its wonderfully enterprising, progressive and intelligent people, and the immense region of fertilo country, and the vast mining rogion that is and may be kept, in a great measure, trivbutary to it. Omaba is now & great commercial city, with some manufacturing industries, but more of them will lucrease the commerce the city now has, and will help to keep it all. It factories ure extensively located within a radius of 200 miles from Omaha, they wiil draw to them trade and commerco which Omaha woula otherwise have. Omaha hus immense slaughtering und meat packing os- tavlishments, In ordor to retain and enlurge them tho young city must maintain its pres- tige uud ascendency, and this can only be done by adaivg factorics, enlarging com- merce and drawing to it'the traflic and re- sources that lie around it, particularly north and west, reaching out into the mining reg- 1uns in South Dakota, Wyomine, ete. Cincinnati was once callod “Porkopolis” because of its immense pork-packing estab- lishments, and “Cinciuvati hams” were famous ali over the world. That city has veen ableto keep and increase its factories, but it is no nonger kuown as ““Porkopolis;'’ that business has departed. 1f Omaha will incroase hor factories they will almost in- evitably becomo permanent; the capital once largely” invested in mauufacturiog plapts cannot be removed, even if meat-packing should do so. What Omaha Should Do, Omaha should raise 100,000 and with it erect woolen factories,and Lhen raise another $100,000 aud invest it 1n cotton factories. Of course, this can not be done by taxation, but 1t can bo dono by private subscription in vested in stock in manufacturing corpora- tions. Muncie, a town of 12,000 people in In- diana, recently raised in this way and in- vested in manufacturing corporations of various kinds §200,000, and that _enterprising city has grown 1 dimensious and into an 1m- portance which has more than repaid the entorprisiug men who wade the investments. Whny should Omaha ostablish immense woolen factories! There is no really great woolen factory west of the Allegheny moun- tains, Wool i+ shipped from ali the westorn states and_territories-to Philadelphia and the New Kugland slates, there to be manu- factured into goods, which are to a 1arge ox- teut shipped west and sold. A woolen fac- tory at Omaba can be. made more profitable thau iv New England, It costs an average of more than 3 cents par pound to ship wool east, Factories at Omaha could save this, and save tho cost of shippiug tho manufactured goods west. Theso suv- ings would of themselves bo a large profit. Why should wool be shipped east to bo manufactured? Why notmanafacturo the west! Lf woolen factaries be estavlished at Owaha, 1t will be an wducement to every farmer in Nebraska with 160 acres of laud to do what all shoutd do, keep at least 100 sheep, which could, in part, bo kept on grass aud winter feed, that weuld otherwiso be lost or not produced at all, The valieys and other lands in South Dakota, Wyoming and other states, and of the territories, should be cov- erea over with flocks of sheep and herds of cattle, the former producing wool for west- ern woolen factories and sneep and cattlo both producing meat to be shipped from Omaba all over the south, and east also, just as Armour & Co, of Chicayo supply meat for many of our great cities, It is a strauge fact that many of the cities in the southorn stutes receive their supplios of fresk beel, mutton, etc., as woll as salted beef und pork from Chicago. Tho southern people would soon prefer that mutton should bo their chiof fresh meat if they bad ,some great slaughtering conter from whic)” they could recoive it. Omaha sbould “‘take time by the forelock’ and erect wcolen factories, slaughter mutton sheep and *'supply a long felt want” in woolen goods, made in the west, and mutton from Omaha. Country Tributary to O 0, The Black Hills region of South Dakota aud Wyoming hss immenso mineral re- sources in gold and tin, and gypsum and ouilding stone and coal in abundance, sufi- cient to supply sevoral states like Nebraska. Railroads now ran through the center and along both sides and across the southern base of tho Biack Hills, all reaching into Omaha. Au enterprising citizon of Omaha, Mr. Francis C, Grable, nas located aud is ar- ranging to lay out into lots a dozen or more town sites along the railroad which runs north and soath through the center of the Bluck Hills and along the railroad which skirts their western border. The enterprising men who built theso rail- rouds wisely looked forward to the great de- velopment of the rich mines 1w the Black Hills and to the building of towns, or tho ronds would not have been made. These new towns and cities can be made tributary to Omaba and open fine fields for the invesi- went of capital. They will make o demand for woolen goods and for merchandise to supply those engaged in miuing, in_agricul- ture, in raisiug sheep and cattlo] And now is the time for the people of Omahu to mako their city the great center of manufactures, trade and commerco for that rapid doveloping reion. Ono advantage of wool manufacturing to a ciy over most other kinds of factories is that most of the work can be done by women and children. In every large city there aro mul- titudes of these who are idlo or without sufticiont employment. Woolen factories would be useful to Omaha in this as in other respects. One of the great advantages of a protective tariff is that it builds up factorios in this country, aud thus gives employment t0 not only woinien and ‘ehildren, but to men who would otherwise be idle. ' Carpentors and masons find employment to erect new buildiogs for factorics, aud houses for por- sous employed therein. Farmers 1ind an incroased demand for their farm products, including ‘wool, and this demand extends to garden vegotables, small fruits, orchurd produets, poultry, ete., which can not be exportoed to foreign countries, and for which there would bé no adequate de- mand without the stimuliis which protection gives to American fndustries. And in additou to ali this, with our own ability under protection ‘to supply all the manufactured articles our peopio need, we can celebrate the Fourth of July and feel that our own republic is fudeed froo and in- dopendent.
