Simpler Habits and Bore Frngal Tbe episodes of misery, defalcation and dearth that have succeeded each other in so rapid succession In various parts of tbe country almost uniformly confirm the observations often made relative to the current habits of costly living and the extensive embarrassment to which these habits have given blrtb.

The downfall of this or that unhsppy pctson may commonly be Imputed to speculation, or misfortune 'In trail-nets, or other causes; but the origin of the great bulk of these disasters, if carefully sought out and verified, will be found, we believe, in extravagant expenditure la every-day life. The financial thai during the last ten years has a wept over the country has Drought about these calamities, but lb strictness it has notcauasxl them. As with houses bullion sand, the weakness already existed and awaited but the strain. of the tempest to become deplorably manifest The custom, to pursue the metaphor, was to build at If no storm was ever to be expected. But the ouly safe cuttomlt to build as if the storm were Imminent and inevitable.

Bad our various social edifices been constructed on the solid rock of prudence and fafslgbted accnmqlarlon tbe btttrl-cane might have tnirtt it would, and all would have been stanch and strong; or at' least many a home would hare tteorj fast, and firm that baa fallen in desolation and ruin. American women have a task wf before them to which they should forthwith pnt an earnest and wttlwig bawl. It Is to return so far as may be to the old and frugal Way, the forehanded and sagacious dotaestic management of their grand aaoihera. By example, ho less than actual saving, they snay by this meant do a world i of good. Let tbem show their husbands aad fathers that they are determined to oppose wasteful and unseemly outlay as ft mat-terof principle The family may be able to "afford" such outlay to-day, but may not be able to afford it to-morrow.

A useful lasson Is to be had here from tbe king who Insisted that his children should he taught a trade, and this applies to girls as well as boys. No one can positively tell what his future circumstances may be. Some of the richest noblemen in England are ano tbe poorest because of tbe constantly increased demand open tbclr' resource. Poor Richard may not be the beet guide In tbe world in everything, bat be is certainly a safe one In domestic economy. There It no earthly use for doing always what other people do, or thinking alwaye what other people will say.

Editor GmTk; Over In a neighboring state, not long go, Mrs. Scott Siddons, tbe celebrated reader appeared before an audience, of tttudenta In a party drew. Whether the woman meant to compliment her I listeners by an elaborate toilet; whether she accepted the liberties of fashion to gratify a little personal vanity;" or whether without ft thought in tbe.

matter, she simply "followed the fashion," are questions that are now seriously agitating the minds of some fossil professors, and some gallant yonng students of an Indian! college; and tbe latter wlthNall their hot young blood consider themselves in honor bound to "defend the woman." To outsiders the controversy is a very amusing one, and unless Mrs. Slduons exhibits the same foolish sensitiveness to criticism, that a certain famous $ingtt accused of drunkenness, has recently done, this will probably pass with laugh of derision from tbe students, at the old professors who dared not trust themselves to look upon plump shoulders. The customs of latter years might have suggested, that the lady conceal her neck and arms on such a publlo occasion unless ber selections required special costuming; yet fathion, at it has been for years, would declare ber dress perfectly admlssable, and the professors will bare to change the whole fashionable world, before getting ft verdict in their favor. The tlite of American society, have for jears pronounced against uncovered shoulders at promiscuous public gatherings, except the opera and theatre. And "loTely woman" reserves the exposition of pretty neck and rounded arms to tbe more modest survey of masculine eyes, at least reckoned social equals.

But In no other coun try is such liberty admitted upon tbe part of fashionable women. Foreign courts compel her by state etiquette, to appear In full dress, covered shoulders being considered a direct insult to tbe royal dignitary. In whatever country such compulsory customs prevail, little liberty is given for tbe exercise of personal preference in these matter of dreaa, If one desires to maintain a refutation for politeness or consideration for her host. Ages ago, woman was looked upon at only an object of man's pleasure, and regarded much the same as a fine animal, distinguished only by becoming tbe mother of his offspring. Sbe waa shot away from the eyes of tbe vulgar world, and not expected to lessen her proportions, with the anxiety of thought.

Physical culture thus came to be of the highest moment to her happiness. Bat since the days of Cleopatra and Helen, woman has grown out of tbe cradle of Infancy; Into the fnll development of an Intellectual womanhood; and In the hitglc light of free America, no law of fublon is rigid enough to compel such an exhibition of ber person for poblio admiration unless she chooses. Physical beauty has hot ceased to be attractive; and a perfection of development in form and feature, possessee a chain for ao artistic eye, that the coldest logician will admit. The admiration that man baa for the soft muscle and rounded to blm for protection from storm and hardship, develops the manhood and strength, necessary for the emergeYrclea of life; andwlnsn retnrn, a gentle devotion to bit brawty arm and manly courage, that creates a bapplneja for both man and woman. How far ft woman is Justified In making herself -osn't temptation, In her effort to' please, It left for tbe fashionable world, and the college professors to decide.

But a severer attock of modesty (1) is afflicting a starry correspondent of the Journal, thin has yet disturbed any educational Institution la this Immediate section, and needa attention. While trying to discover wbU force of nature saves the ordinary snorta) from spontaneous combustion, when tbe halre of his head discharge sufficient electricity to supply an Edison lamp that literary oonatellatlon bat been nursing strength from Pope, Johnson and DeQulncy to poor out vials of hostile criticism upon the "philosopher of tbe Gancm." To be thus reviewed by one, who has softest paws and sharpest claws, might provoke resentment, It one were not wholly overcame with amusement, by the racttbat the slipper so spitefully flung In our face, was fashioned by god-mother "Olive Green" for a Cinderella yet, forsooth, this batty sister matches It from the Prince's messenger, and thrusts her great toe in so tightly that abe at once screams with psliu In another minute however she llmpeaway with her nose 1s the air, fanning the cnifrtn fat bar mistake) out of ber face, vainly hoping to convince a credulous world that It Is shocked modesty.

As. the company la not now ready to purchase, the solloitor Mr. Cohrt will do nothing but receive pro-propositions. We learn that several blocks west of the coal shaft owned by other parties than Mr. Gregory, the Michigan capitalist, can be bought for reasonable figures.

W.JCvaaaa J. I. ivaMtar. p1rBtl Jmi. 13th, 1910, Again ibooked to hear of the death of Mrs R.

L. Payne who died of paralysis at net residence, In Kansas City'. About month tince her husband was summoned from here to her bedside, when the was first ab tacbll with that dreadful, disease. After a few days it was reported that she was recovering. The next news brought the sad story that Is once told of every mortal.

Mary Ellen VanDeren Jwas born In Cynthlana, Kentucky, In 1832. When three yean, old her parents moved to this county apd settled near Charleston. At the age of 10, and on July 18, 1848, she was married to Franklin' J. VanDeren. In June, 1851, leu than three years she was deprived "of her husband by cholera at tbe time It was an epidemic in this part of the country.

On July 22, 1833 she was again married, to Dumas J. VanDeren, a brother of her former husband. She bore him five children, all but one of whom died In infancy or childhood. On tbe 22d of June, 1864 she was again left a widow, and in June, 1868 married Dr. R.

L. Payne who survives her, They resided in Charleston and Mattoon, principally in our olty, until about three years ago when they spent a year in 8t. Louis and after warls removed to Kansas City where Dr. Payne was engaged in business. The large property interests held in this vicinity, caused them to spend much of their time here, even when residing elsewhere, The Vanderens were large land holders lu this county, and the subject of this sketch and her daughter necessarily were well known to nearly every cltiaen of tbe coenty.

At a bright society woman Mrs. Payne bad a wide acquaintance and was highly esteemed. Anxloat to please, fully Imbued with tbe proverbial spirit or old Kentucky hospitality, she was always willing to unselfishly sacrifice her own comfort and convenience to promote the happiness of those abou) her. Sueh an Influence always nude tier oleasant borne a place of resort, and drew around ber a circle of warm friends and admirers. She leaves only one child living, a daughter, Frankle Tanderen, in whom was centered all the mother's family pride, and boundless love.

The beautiful devotion of mother and daughter to each other la too well known In this community to need any comment. And upon that bereaved daughter will fall more thin the loss of a mother, that alto of a companion more genial and social than herself. To ber the warmest sympathy of friends will be glvn, realizing that she is deprived of mother, counselor and friend. Tbe remains of tbe deceased are expected to i eaoh here at one o'clock to day and the funeral services will take place at the Presbyterian church, and will flud a resting place on tbe Vaoderen lot in Dodge CreveOesnetery betide ber former bus-band and children. I( interesting to remark that the furnished the lingular example of a woman who' grew to womanhood and was twice married without changing ber family name.

The roadt being almost Impassable It Is expected that the funeral cortege will take the Illinois Central freight train at Doran's Crossing, to come to the City. The beneficial order with wblch he was connected, will pay Lu family $2,000 as a result of bis prudent foresight.
