jus. How to Cut a Justices Gown.

The Supreme eourt is place of
traditions and precedents. and even
the cut and make of the gowns of the
Justices are so well defined by custom
that there is but little scope left for the
individual taste of the owner.
An authority on this subject SAYS
that the gown is made of wide straight
widths. At tine bottom it is three
yards and a quarter wide. and il comes
down to the ankles. The gown has a
narrow hem around the bottom and a
broad one straight down the front. At
the top it is gagged to a yoke. which
is short on the shoulders and forms a
deep scallop at the back This yoke
has silk lining between the out
side and the inner one of silk The
sleeves are yard and a quarter wide
and reach to the hands. The lining of
the sleeves is formed by doubling the
material at the bottom. turning it up
on the inside. and placing it about "a
quarter of yard above the bottom to
a narrower silk lining. which nicely
fits the Justices arm. The arrange
ment makes the lower part of each
sleeve appear to be wide, loose puff.
The sleeves are gauged to yoke on
the shoulders with many rows of
gauging. but not so many at the back
of the gown. where ii is a quarter of a
yard deep.
One woman has made the gowns for
the last forty years. and she gets 800
for ever one of them. They are made
alike, the only difference being in the
material. the chief justice wearing
black Chinese satin. while his asSo-
ciates are rohed in black silk. The
chief justice always wears new gown
when ne swears in a president. The
new gown is always subject TO a good
deal of criticism by the older justices,
and its til is closely scanned.-BoSfon

Farming in Spain.

Consul Turner writes from Cadiz to
the state department that farming in
Spain is in a primitive state. Grain is
cut with small reaping-hook and
threshed as in the time of the Caesars,
by tramping it out with asses hitched
to stone-boat- The plow is IA crooked
stick pointed with iron. In the towns
are to be seen heavy wooden carts
drawn by oxen. Most of the carr, ing,
transferring. etc, is done by donkexs'
Sand, brick. Iumber-in fact. almost
everything that has to be moved-is

Life in Far shetland.

The houses here are much the same
as crofters' houses all over Shetland,
with low walls. an arch-shaped roof
matched with straw and weighed down
with heavy stoneS, to secure it against
the hurricanes of Winter. The fire is
on the floor. little in front of the wall
farthest from the door. and the smoke
finds. or at least is expected to find, its
way out an open chimney in the roof.
In some houses there are internal chim-
news of wood. which arrangement adds
much to the comfort of the occupants.
In all. there is the spinning wheel
and the ever-clicking knitting-pins. as
also the ancient stone quern for grind
