Dressnaking.

Thanks to the excellence of the paper
patterns now sold in every city, town
and village, any woman of average in
telligence can make her plain dresses at
home. But some useful hints are well
worth offering after the paper pattern
has been chosen. The best dress-makers
here and abroad use silk for lining, but
nothing is so durable or preserves the
material as we'll as firm State twill.
This is sold double width, and good
yard of stuff may often be saved by lay
ing the pattern ont and we'll consider
ing how one part may be cut into an
other. Prick the outline on to the lin
ing; these marks serve for guide for
the lacking. Bodices are now worn
very tight fitting, and the French
stretch the material well on the cross
before beginning to cut out, and in cut
ting allow the lining to be slightly
pulled. so that when on the outside
stretches to it and insures better fit.
An experienced eye can tell French
cut bodice at once, the front side pieces
being alwayson the cross. In dress cut
ting and fitting, as in everything else,
there are failures and discouragements,
but practice overrules these little mat
ters. and ''trying again. brings sure
reward in success. People of moderate
means should as rule dress in black or
dark cOlors, as such are not conspicuous,
and consequently do not tell their date
as light articles do. A blue dress, for
instance, or red feather, how plainly
they speak of the wearer's identity even
at a distance, and how glaringly they
tell of the length of time they have been
in wear. A sensible suggestion is made
in regard to the finish in necks Of
dresses for morning wear. Plain collars
have rather stiff appearance, tulle or
crepe lisse frilling are expensive and
frail, so it is a good idea to purchase q
few yards of really good washing lace,
about an inch and half in depth; quill
or plat, and cut into suitable lengths to
tack around the necks of dresses. This
can be easily removed and cleaned
when soiled. A piece of soft black
Spanish lace, folded losoely around the
throat. close to the frilling, but below
it, looks very pretty; or you may get
three yards of scarf lace, trim the ends
with frillings, place it around the neck,
leaving nearly all the length in the
right hand, the end lying upon the left
shoulder being about half a yard long.
Wind the larger piece twice around the
throat, in loose, soft folds, and festoon
the other yard and half, and fasten
with brooch or flower at the side.

Our Earnings and Savings.

According to Mr.. Edward Atkinson,
but half Of the 100000 people of the
United States can be reckoncd in the
working force of the nation. The earn
ings Of this working force, male and fe.
male, cannot exceed an average of 81 a
day each for the 365 days of the year,
so that the annual income of the people,
in round numbers, is $4,000, OOO, 600.
He estimates that the sustenance of our
population averages As cents day for
each man, woman and child, so that &C
cents of every dollar earned is con-
sumed, leaving but 10 per cent. Of the
annual earnings to maintain existing
capital and increase the nations wealth.
His opinion is that the increase in
wealth is less than $500, OOO, 900 annual.
~. His purpose in this exhibit is to
encourage economy. Learn to work
more thoroughly, more savinglY to
raise as much as possible with as little
waste as possible, is his Injunction. The
lesson which he teaches is the one which
Of al peoples on earth the people OF the
United States need to learn.

Why Ha Didn't Exnla;n.

Some eight or ten years ago a silyery-
tongued chap who claimed to be fruit
tree agent swindled the farmers in q
shameful manner, says the Detroit Free
Press, and one resident of Nankin was
so mad about it that he came to Detroit,
searched the rascal out, and gave him
q pounding on the street. After he got
through his work he told the fellow that
he would lick him twice as bad if he ev-
er put eyes on him again, and it was
threat to be remembered and nursed.
About three weeks ago the Nankin man
was travelling in Washtenaw County.
and as he journeyed along the highway
be met traveller who SO closely resem-
bled the fruit-tree swindler that he halt
ed and called out:
''Here you are again, you bold-faced
rascal!''
'.Yes, I'm here,'' was the calm reply.
swell, som l, and I'm going to lick
you until you can't holler! I said I'd do
it, and l always keep my word. Climb
down here!''
The stranger ''clumb'' without pro-
test, shedding his coat as he struck the
ground, and a fight began. In about
two minutes he had used up the farmer
and was coolly replacing his coat.
''See here.'' said the man from Nan
kin as he wiped his nose with a bur
dock, '.you fight better than you did
eight years ago.
'Well, I dunno. This is my first at
fair with you.''
''Didn'tI wollop you in front of the
Detroit Postoffice eight years ago?''

year ago.
''And you never saw me before?''
''Never!''
''And was never in Nankin?''

A recent visitor to Winnipeg, on the
Red River, discovered the ruins of the
fort which belonged to colony found
ed in 1911 by Lord Selkirk, Scotch
philanthropist. He came over with
eighty families, and for several years
they prospered, but the destruction of a
wheat crop by grasshoppers made them
poor again. Selkirk journeyed to Prai-
RE du Chen in the dead of winter to
get seed for the next years planting.
At this time there were 1000 to / 500
persons in the colony. Conflicts as to
the ownership of the land ensued be-
tween Selkirk and the Hudson BAY
Company, and in 1926, bankrupt and
disheartened, he returned to Scotland.

The Utility Of Drunkenness,

Darwin shows that the onward prog
ress, the development, or what may be
described as the collective prosperity of
the species, is brought about by over
multiplication, followed by a necessary
struggle for existence, in the course of
which the inferior or unsuitable individ-
uals are weeded out and 'sthe survival
of the fittest'' necessarily follows; these
superior or more suitable specimens
transmit more or less of their advant-
ages to their offspring, which, still null
tiplying excessively, are again and again
similarly sifted and improved or devel-
Oped in a boundless course of forward
evolution.
In the earlier stages of human exist
ence, the fittest for survival were those
whose brutal or physical energies best
enabled them to struggle with the phys
zeal difficulties of their surroundings, to
subjugate the crudities of the primeval
plains and forests to human require
ments. The perpetual struggles of the
different tribes gave the dominion of the
earth to those best able to rule it; the
strongest and most violent human ami
NAL was then tittest, and he survived ac-
c0rdingly.
Then came another era of human eff
fort gradually eliminating in the pres
ent period. In this mere muscular
strength, brute physical power, and
mere animal energy have become less
and less demanded as we have, by the
aid of physical science, imprisoned the
physical forces of nature in our steam
boilers, batteries, ETC., and have made
them our slaves in lieu of human pris-
oners of war. The coarse, muscular,
raving, yelling, fighting human animal
that formerly led the war-dance, the
hunt, and the battle, is no longer the fit
test for survival, but is, on the contrary,
daily becoming more and more out Of
place. His prize-fghts, his dog-6ghts,
his cockpits, and bull-baiting are practi-
cally abolished.
Such being the case, we now require
some means of eliminating these coarser,
more brutal, or purely animal specimens
Of humanity, in order that there may be
more room for the survival and multi
plication of the more intellectual, more
refined, and altogether distinctively hui.
man specimens. 1t is desirable that this
should be effected by some natural or
spontaneous proceeding of self-extinc
ton, performed by the animal speci-
mems themselves. If this self-immola-
ton can be process that is enjoyable
in their own estimation. all the objec-
tions to it that might otherwise be sug-
gested by our feelings Of humanity are
removed.
Now, these conditions are exactly full
filled by the alcoholic drinks of the
present day when used for the purpose
Of obtaining intoxication. Maitieu

The coal mine few miles north of
Tenino, Washington territory, and par
ticularly known as the mine opened by
Gov. Solomon and Col. Bee some years
ago, is on fire. Smoke issues from the
ground for some distance around, and
the ground is very hot. A few years
ago the coal at the shaft got on fire, but
it was supposed to be all extinguished.
1t has probably been burning since that
time slowly, until now the whole vein is
on fire.

How Railway Kings Travel

LOW halfway AlugB Travel
The traveller who has modern Sleep
ing-cars and hotel-cars at his command
would seem to have reached the height
of luxury. He is surrounded by soft
fabrics of exquisite color, and beautiful
specimens of handiwork in choice woods
and costly metals. His dinner is served
to him while he is being whirled along
at thirty-tive or forty miles an hour.
But the magnates of the great railroad
lines contrive to secure still finer cars
and still greater luxuries for themselves
when they travel.
The President of the Central Pacific
has recently ordered palace-car to be
built for his wife, the cost of which is
to be thirty thousand dollars. Mr..
Vanderbilt has private car which cost
forty thousand dollars. One-half the
interior is a grand saloon walled in by
big plate-glass windows and furnished
With arm-chairs, lounges and tables.
The other half is occupied by kitchen,
bathroom, private sitting room, etc.
Mr.. Vanderbilt has inherited his faith
er's fondness for fast travelling with
special engine, on special time, and Of
ten makes six hundred miles between
day, light and dark. He dislikes night
travel, but when. it is necessary he has
sleeper attached to his private car.
The President of the Erie Railway
has one of the most elegant of private
cars. It is seventy two feet long, or a
little longer than the Pullman cars.
The first room is walled with Irish
bog-oak, carved and coiled with lighter
wood, ornately stenciled. The furni-
ture is of the most luxurious and beau
tiful pattern. A wide hallway leads in
to the main saloon. and on one side of
it is bedroom while at the other is a
large bathroom.
The bathroom has deep tub and a
marble toilet-stand. The bedroom con-
tains full-sized bed, which when not
in use is mahogany wardrobe, richly
carved. The grand saloon itself is as
large as many city parlors, and it is fit
ted with every imaginable convenience,
including kitchens, pantries, etc.
In addition to these luxuries some of
the presidents add bronzes and pictures
to the rest Of their travelling furniture.

To love the things Of "evsry day."
