REMARKS ABOUT SKIRTS.

Not only cotton gowns, but those of
lightweight wool and silk have the
gathered skirt, says the Baltimore Herald.
The gathers spread the train more grace
fully than plaits. Short skirts for street
wear are hoped for in the autumn. In
the meantime, when wearing trained
dress where it must be lifted, women
should give just little attention to the
manner Of lifting the train. Notwith-
standing all the ridicule bestowed upon
them, women as rule continue to merit
the fun made of them by carrying the
train in such clumsy fashion as might
be expected of a plowboy.
Rules for train~lifting are as plentiful
as complexion recipes and about as help
full II woman has not the artistic in
stinct for draping, there is only one
injunction that it is worth while to offer,
that is: For PHYS sake, dear woman,
when you lift your train don't clutch
every other garment you have on beneath
it. Take hold of the train itself and
hold it lightly. This much you can do,
even if you must leave undone some Of
the effective handling that comes by in
stinct to your ncighbor.

RIBBONS FROM THE SHOULDERS.

This hanging of ribbons from the
shoulders is to be more the rage than last
year. One of the most novel arrange
mcnts is effected by placing large,
spreading bow on the bosom, carrying
the ends under the arm to form small
knot between the shoulders from there
bringing them down to the hem of the
skirt in front, where they fasten under
one immense bow, and are then carried
up to the side seams at the back Of the
hips, and from there fall to the bottom
of the train
An entirely new fashion is to have a
fall of black lace nearly yard wide de-
pend from the yoke of the bodice, and,
although of course sewn fast, apparently
held in place by black velvet ribbons
which tie up on the shoulders.
Naturally this does not conceal the
fitted bodice beneath, but it is fashion
to be avoided by all except willowy crca-
lures. = Chicago Herald.

There are two ways Of dealing with
the evils in the world which we Justly
deplore and wish to abolish: one is to
attack and try to break them down
forcibly, the other to dissolve or eXhale
them ly the active presence Of good.
The former CT these methods appears
so much the more direct and obvious
that it generally gains the FIRST place
in our attention. We see a wrong,
and our impuIs" is to crush it; we see
injustice, and We long to cXterminate
1t; we observe an unrigiiteous institu-
ton, and we desire to overthrow it.
The slower and less direct method Of
overcoming evil with good, Of substi-
tuting better way for that which is
bad, of dcyGting the same energy to
building up that we would have given
to the work of tearing down, obtains
a gradual hold over uS only with time
and experience.

RUFFLE,

1t is interesting to note the return of
the rutfle as a skirt border. The fancy
of the moment borders the skirt of thin
material with a single ruffle of three or
four inches width, or three overlapping
rutlles occupying the same or more width,
or even three of the same width set one
above the other. There is a distinct
novelty in these ruffles. They are edged
with black. Gowns that have no other
black about them, white or pink muslins,
or tinted silks, have these dark shadow
lines at the bottom. Their isolation
makes them remarkably effective. They
form a; other example of the surprises Of
French art
If am not mistaken the ruffle came in
with Marie Antoinette and short petit
coats. 1t was the caprice of the moment
to lavish trimmings and costly jewels
about the feet, 50 that mot of the Mar
quis de Bievre to the queen has been pre-
served apropos of the fashion. "Marie,'
said he, 1.-The splendors of the universe
are at your feet" It does not aad but it
detracts from the present skirt. 1t is
not in harmony with its classicism and
should be reserved for the pettcoat and
such slighter confection.- Atlanta Con-

Stockdale took to his heels and ran to
his home. The mob was in strong force
and finding that Stockdale had temporal
rily escaped them, rushed to the colliery
and smashed the engine house to pieces.
Then procuring bags and baskets they
made descent upon piles of coal and
every man lugged off as much fuel as he
could carry. Again and again they re-
turned and it is said that they managed
to steal a hundred tons of coal. 1t was
impossible for the mine officials or police
to prevent them from doing just about
as they pleased.
FINALLY some one iii the crowd sug-

This suggestion met with instant ap.

mob rushed to the house and in very
short time it was totally wrecked. The
occupants, however, had been warned in
time and made their escape before the
rioters rushed through.
Another house in which an official oI
the mine resided was set on fire and then
satisfied for the time being with the dcs'

AMERICAN SHIP BUILDING
SENATE PASSES a EII.I. TO
ENCOURAGE H.

New York Can Now Have an
American Registrv-They Can
not, However. DO "a COast.Wise
Trade.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-In the senate
today Mr.. Frye, from the committee on
commerce, reported back the house bill
to encourage American ship building. He
said the report was unanimous and that
he had been instructed to move its pres
ent consideration. He made that mo-
ton and it was agreed to. The bill hav-
ing been read in full Mr.. Frye stated
that although it was general in its pro-
visions two ships only were to be adj
mittcd to American registry. They were
to be excluded from coast-wise trade and
might be used by the government by char
ter or purchase) in case of war. That, he
said, was the full extent of the bill.
The two ships to be admitted were
the City of New York and the City of
Paris, the two largest ships i'll the
world, since the Great Eastern was
broken up. the two staunchest ships in
the world, and he might say the two
fastest, except that the Majestic had
crossed the ocean in eighteen minutes
less time.
After some discussion an amendment
offered by Mr. Mills to strike out of the
bill certain words that might allow the
two ships to avail themselves of the pos
tai subsidy was rejected without divis-
ion and the bill just as it came from the
house giving American registry 20 the
City of New York and the City of Paris
was passed, yeas 40, nays 10.
