The Heart-Shaped Bodice

The heart-shaped or bodice which is so
much in vogue has brought into favor a
peculiar shaped collar Of silk null and lace,
very deep and long, reaching to the belt in
front, where it is tied in large bow with
hanging ends edged with frills of lace. It
IS cut yachting shape in the back, with
handsome lace medallions in each corner.
Another new and dainty accessory of the
toilet is the French gilet or vest intended
for use with high plain corsages. It forms
becoming addition to the simplest or most
elegant toilet. It is made Of shirred silk
tulle white and tinted, and edged with wide
frills of Aurillac lace. It has Stuart COL

lace. 4 pretty vest in this style is also

It looks. now, as though the United
States, in the same way that Asia, used to
be the sink of silver, will, for some time at
least, be the sink of gold. It SO happens
that our principal products are those of
food and raw materials, which Europe, ow-
ing to it's adverse climate, is compelled to
buy from us, and yet that our consumat1on
of European manufactured goods is not large
enough to pay for them, The difference,
latterly, has been liquidated in gold to the
enormous amount they have mentioned;
and though this amount must necessarily
diminish; it cannot altogether cease until
we have taken all the gold Europe can fur
nish, or until, by the transfer of her pop
ulation to this side of ths ocean, which is
now going on at the rate of 600,0 900 year,
an equilibrium is established between our

Orange culture is rapidly increasing in
Florida, and the prospect is that before
many years elapse that state will have q
monopoly of the orange trade of the United
States. Within very recent date eight of
the wealthiest citizens of Atlanta, Ca,
have made heavy investments in Florida,
principally in Orange county, where the
fruit is said to attain the highest point Of
lusciousnesss. One Atlanta capitalist some
time ago put $4,000 into an orange grove
in that county, and now refuses $4,000
for his purchase.

NATIONAL PROSPERITY.

The Flood of Gold Into this Country From
Europe.
The food of prosperity now spread over
this land is unparalleled in the history OF
nations and with the exception OF Wall
street ali industries seem healthy and more
forward wi hout infation; Pittsburgh may
be placed among the most substantial clues'
and is increasing in population and wealth.
with marvellous rapidity.
The flood of gold into the country IS
commented upon bv the New York Sun as
| follows:
Since August 1, 1879, about $200,000,-
600 of foreign gold has been imported into
the United States, and our own mines have
produced fully $65, ,OOO,0 900. The addition
of the great amount of 1926, 900, 900 in gold
to the national wealth is significant OF our
changed financial relations to the rest OF
the world, and the disposition made OF 1t is
equally significant of the changed financial
relations of the eastern and of the western
sections of this country.
Two years ago the banks of New YORK
city held 500, 900, 900 in gold, and there w was
in the United States trea sury, say, 9loo'-
OOO. 900. According to the latest returns
our banks now hold $65, 600, 600, and the
treasury $170: 900, 200. This shows what
has become Of $65, 900, 900 of the $'265'- 6o'
100000; where is the remaining $zoo'-
100000?
The most plausible answer to the ques-
ton is that the metal has been absorbed
bv the inhabitants of the great west and
southwest, who have taken it in payment
for their surplus wheat, corn, cotton, ana
other products. After years OF patent
toll and waiting their farms and plantations
have become profitable; they have paid OF
their debts to eastern capitalists, and they
have replaced their stumptail and other
trashy currency with gold, as well as with
gr enbacks and national bank notes:
For it must be remarked that While our
New York banks have in two years added
$45, ,OOO,O 900 to their stock OF gold, they
have also parted with $27 900, Ooo OF legal
| tenders, much of which has been sent
west. Furthermore the currency OF the
country has been swelled by the addition OF
SAG, ,O0O 900 Of certif Gates representing sill
yer dollars, of which the west has taken
the greatest por ion. This. now
ever, has had little or no effect upon the
westward course of the flood of gold, and
it is still moving in the same direction.
It looks, now, as though the United
States, in the same way that Asia used to
be the sink of silver, will, for some time
at least, be the sink of gold. 1t so hap
pens that our principal products are those
OF food and raw materials, Whlcn Europe,
owing to it's adversed climate, is compelled
to buy from us, and yet that our consump-
ton of European manufactured goods IS
not large enough to pay for them. The
difference, latterly, has been iquidated in
gold to the enormous amount they have
mentioned; and though this amount must
necessarily diminish, it cannot altogether
cease until we have taken all the gold
Europe can furnish, or until, by the trans
fer of her population to this side of the
ocean, which is now going on at the rate OF
900, 900 year, an equilibrium is establish
ed between our exports and our imports.

When we were young, said Sir John
Lubbock recently, we knew that theleopard
had spots, the tiger was striped, and the
lion tawny; but why this was SO it did not
occur to us to ask; and if we had asked, no
one would have answered. Now we see at
a glance that the stripes of the tiger have
reference to it's life among jungle grasses;
the lion is sandy, like the desert; while
the markings of the leopard resemble
spots of sunshine glancing, through the

It was tiny apartment, with walls no

The interior of this cabin was hot and

A Big Three-Year- Old Boy.

There arrived recently in Evansville,
Ind, a man named Adam Castleman, of
Casey county, Ky. His family was with
him, one of which is boy only three years
old, who stands 3 feet 4 inches in his stock
ings, measures 16 inches around the calf of
his leg, 26 inches around the thigh, AZ
inches around the waist, 80 inches around
the chest, and weighs 13O pounds The
child, his father says, weighed but nine
pounds at his birth, but at six months had
increased to 40 pounds, and then jumped
by rapid stages to his present enormous
proportions. The child is bright enough,
although physicians have counseled his pa
rents not to tax him closely with mental
effort Physically, although so huge for
his age, he is sound and healthy, and makes
what might be called a waddling effort at
romping around Castleman and his wife,
though both of good size, are neither of
them large, and cannot remember any an
cestor from whom this prodigious boy could
have inherited his extraordinary proper
tions. They have another child, an infant
girl three months old, but giving no evi-
