New YORK, Nov. II. - Directions
upon how to retain the beauty and
symmetry of the figure asfaithfully de-
clared by the Duchess of Marlborough
have been appearing IN the papers
with detailed description of her diet,
and decreased weight thereby obtained.
TO some people, who have foolish
partially for unpublished obscurity, it
seems rather unpleasant to have ones
avoirdupois appearing in big print and
circulating about everywhere. But
such we suppose is the penalty of great
ness. In these days of tailor-made gar
ments. however, perhaps it is more Sc
riOus matter than it appears that slen-
der figures should be retained, and to
blossom out in new glove-ftting tai
tornado gown is what many a woman
would forfeit cakes, buttersweets
and tea for, especially if she
won the description of "willowy''
by such abstinence. The sort of fig
IRE which appears to best advantage
in Redfern gown is not, however, the
very slender. but the muscular and ath-
letic girl, who is a very prevalent type
just now. She is more prevalent in Eng
land than America, but she is beginning
to be seen repeatedly in New York. A
high linen collar and DISTINGUISHING
cuffs, "spOrting' pin at her throat,
dog skin gloves, plain felt hat, and
dOuble-soled boots with no Cinderella
about them, are all insignias of her
type. She is brief and curt in manner,
Drotherly to all men, but not sisterly to
all women; is never coquettisb under
any circumstances, but has surprising
aud disconcerting direct sort of anna
tiveness in her manner to those she likes
which ''getS there" quicker than
those she likes always like them
selves. RedfeTn knows her very
well. Her hob-nailed boots have
scratched his polished floors; her ring
ing laugh, suggestive of ten-mlle walks
before breakfast, fox hunting and dumb
bells, have rung through his spacious
salons; her keen, clear eyes have inves-
tigated his coats and gowns; her crisp
dollars have swollen his fat pocket
book. She is arrogant, Overpoweringly
muscular, loud and trifle heavy Oh her
feet, bat she is a treasure to trade and
the Joy of the ladies' tailor. Redfern
seldom caters for the school girl; her
figure is too slight to appear to real adj
vantage in one of his noted gowns, but
on this occasion he has designed a pretty
little gown for young girl.

the hips. a pointed decoration of vel
vet and lace is arranged around the
neck and this is surmounted by high
ruff1e of stiffened lace. The bodice
is fastened at the back, which is tight
fitting, while the front is full, the full
ness being arranged so as to be in three
places. the positions of the gathers de-
fined by the points at neck and waist.
The sleeves are full, and reach to the
elbow. where they are finished by a
trimming of velvet. fur or lace. The
straight skirt is finished at the bottom
with the same trimming. A big sash
bow of soft silk TO match the gown Is
worn at the back.
The long bodice is edged with this
dainty braiding, and has also most be-
coming touch of vieuX rose cloth at the
neck and sleeves, hint of color merely
which gives great distinction to the
gown. Some pleats of vieuX rose
cloth are also very cleverly introduced
into the skirt. The hem is trimmed all
round with the design of braiding al
ready described.

THE FATHER OF MISRULE.
A Western Opinion of Thomas
Jefferson, Patron Saint of the
Democracy.

a w eStern opinion OF THOMAS
Jefferson, Patron Saint of the
Democracy,
Portland Oregonian.
Our Democratic orators tell us that it
is the mission of their party to trees
tabliSh Jeffersonian principles" This
country has had enough of Jeffer-
sonian principles. Through Cal
houn and jefferson Davis and
the Democratic party during a series
of years it had the full fruitlon and
usufruct of the principles of Jefferson.
1t was Jefferson's protest against the
establishment and consolidation of the
National Union under the constitution
that kept our history in ferment dur
ing three-quarterS of century, created
sectional divisions, and led up to dis
union and civil war. Jefferson Davis
and the Southern COnfederacy were
children of Thomas Jefferson, and all
that was distinctive i'm 'JeffersOnian
principles" was compelled to surrender
to the national armies in 1865.
On subjects akin to those under dis
cussion at the preSem time Jefferson had
lot of Grade and vague ideas that were
not serviceable to his country in his own
time and would be still less SerViceable
now. He set up and maintained an
embargo that cut off the trade of the
country, and was incapable of seeing
how great the injury he was doing to the
country; he labOred to isolate the coun-
try, shut it up against trade, and pro-
hibit exports. "YOu ASK he wrote IN
letter published in the first volume of
his Works." "yOu ask what | think on
the eXpediency of encouraging our
states to be commercial Were | to in
dulge my own theory l should
wish them to practice neither COM
MERGE nor navigation, but with reSDec-
to Europe to stand precisely on the foot
ing of China. We should thus avoid
wars, and all our citizens would be hus-
bandmen." This was the philosophy
of his embargo act. Yet his alleged dis
| ciples are preaching free commerce now
in the name of Jefferson, just as they
prOfessed to stand for national author
itY and national union from 1860 to 1865
| in the name of the author of the nullifi-
| cotton resolutions of 1898!
Jefferson, besides being father of the
! great Rebellion, was father of most of
| the silly and pernicIous Socialistic nom
| sense now running throughout the
country. But for him this stuff would
have little vogue in the United States.
| Every absurdity of social disorganiZ-
alton and anarchy that has been or is
| prevalent in the country easily finds in
| Jefferson countenance, support and au-
| thority. He gave to a party in the
| United States set of principles badly
| digested from the speculations of Rous-
seau and the dreams of COndorcet; he

DIXON, THE ROPE-WALKER.

his FeaG at Niagara FaiIS-Ap-
pareutly Without Fear.
Toronto World.
Dixon, the Toronto photographer who
was drowned in Mud lake, Muskoka.
recently, was best known for his daring
feats as rope-walker. Dixon was a
remarkable man physically. Not
that he was large or powerful.
but he was a splendid specimen
of his kind and that kind was
best expressed in the term "steel wire. -
He was of regular limbs and features.
black as to his hair and piercing as to
his eyes and quick as a flash in his
movements. He could ride any horse.
drive one orr team at breakneck pace.
shoot deer or bear or birds like a
boz hunter, and was fearless
almost to insanity. He was a
born rOpe-walker, or rather wire-rope
walker. and his feat i'll crossing Niagara
on an inch cable was as far ahead of
Blondin's once famous performance as
the electric light is over the penny dip.
In whatever he attempted he succeeded.
He became an expert photographer by
a few simple twists of his wrist where
other men would work for years. He
could shoe horse or build boat.
SO finely strung man must have had
a wonderful nervous organization. and
this. as matter of fact, had S. j. Dixon.
And that was where his danger lay.
Nervous excitement was what he should
ever have guarded against, and latterlv
it was the one thing he courted. OF
late his eye had been growing
more excited, his conversation
more volatile. his movements even
more mercurial, and it is feared his re-
sort to stimulants more than judicious.
But his death was not to be from the
wire, though the same nervous excite
ment that attended him on the rope
lured him to his end on the MuskOka
lake. When his nerves were on the
string he would dare anything, and the
more daring the more he liked it.
He crossed Niagara July II in this
year. and appeared as much at home on
the slender steel spring over the boiling
flood as If he were pacing the sidewalk
in Yonge street. Thousands saw him
later at Hanlan's Point under the man
agement of j. G. COnnOr. In a gale or
calm, wet or dry, he did his daily per-
Torrance with unnecessary daring and
dash.
He was remarkable man. He seemed
to hold the opinion that what anybody
else could do with years of practice he
cOulU 10 OH TIC HTSl lIldl. Ope6u Was MS
watchword and characteristic. His
tastes changed as rapidly as his
mind. At one time fast horses were
his craze, and he drove them at
top speed. He then took a
notion that the work of shoeing horses
was generally badly done, and he
started a scientific forge. And thus it
was with everything. With him to
think was TO act. careless of the result.
A short time ago he concluded con-
tract with a French manager for ten
dangerous performances in Europe next
summer for $4,000. There were to be
five walks at Paris and five at Brus sells.
HIS own and his wife's expenses were
to be paid in addition.

Like a teathered bee in golden swarm.

And into the basket. too, of the cook
Who was learning his lessons from natures

Took down a frying pan from a shelf
And in the pan put just butter enough
To keep each birding from burning the buff
AS it changed from yellow to golden

And made him the happiest cook in town.
For he sat straight down and ate those birds
With gratitude too deep for words
Which expressed itself in the delicate tones
OF the crunch crunch, crunch" of the
