Two DETROIT Chinese were con-
victed upon evidence solemnly sworn
to and condemned to deportation.
The sentence had been passed when
the court was annoyed to discover
that the two Chinese were not the
pair wanted or called. for in the in
dictment. The real culprits were
brought in and the witnesses upon
request transferred their evidence to
the newcomers, and the court trans
ferred the sentence, this occupying
the space of minute or so. A court

THE best and a perfectly safe drink

slakes the thirst and strengthens the
system, restoring the used-up tissue
Immediately. This is well known by
army officers and engineers, who,
when their men are called upon for
any specially exacting duty, supply
them with this mixed drink, and, as
it is not stimulant but a food, there
is no after reaction, and the labor
may be carried on for days without
any i'll results. This is as good for
horses as for men, and the atrocious
cruelty, none the more excusable be-
cause it is thoughtless or due to
ignorance, of keeping the horses with
out drink for six hours at stretch,
while the man drinks every few
minutes, should never be inflicted on
the patient beasts.

we cannot throw away all our old gowns

Luckily for the old gowns, very few

by ruffle of lace or OF anything that
will lie out over these puffs, and mar
row in toward the waist, or finish at the

justed Zouave. Your old dress Is thus
transformed. Sash belts are another
thing that furbelow up an old gown into
a new one Remember, too, that the
opposition to the Empire encourages

In these days of progress in the
arts, sciences, manufacturing, and
general industry, farmers should not
be backward in trying new methods.
Experiment opens the gateway to
progress. 1t is by this means that
the best methods are discovered;
without some change from the old,
established, and long-practiced meth
DDS, it will never be learned whether
there is anything better and deserv-

change in manufacturing has been
the means of the highest success, so

WE do NOT need new laws again

WE do not need new laws against
immigration so much as the enforce
ment of the laws already on the

of law now to shut out the unde-

son wants to shut out any others.
We need all the frugal, thrifty,

the Empire period, and to speak of a
Josephine gown is more correct when
you mean the very short waists and
very plain skirts, for the Empire saw
many fashion besides the short-waist-
ed one. Indeed, in this period stays
came back. Most of the gowns labeled
as Empire are really revlvals from
Directory dresses in the period of the
French Republic 17S9-1S0D. Bodices
were then short-waisted, displaying q
good deal of the bosom, unless 1t were
hidden by a gauZe handkerchief or a
long scarf printed In colors, or braided
or brocaded. In this early time Of
short WASTED dresses the women had
a dear affectation of innocence, and not
bit of the Empire immodesty, for all
their low dresses, They wore straw
bonnets. and were the most demure
things in the world. il they wanted to
be. These were the Beau Brummel
dresses (t7S9, Louis XVI, france;
George w., England.
Then, as time went on, modesty be-
came more and more foreign to the
short-waisted gown. Exaggerations
alone had vogue. Gowns were short
wasted with long tight sleeves or short
ones, or the arms were bare or covered
with long gloves. The skirts trailed
and all sorts of headgear was in vogue.
The Greeks were borrowed from for
head-dresses and wigs, tiaras and dla-
mond crescents. Spangles were in
vented and much used on dresses.
Transparent materials came in vogue,
and raiment became more "gauze-veiled
nudity" All this was more character
istic OF the Republic than Of the Empire.
AS for pretty modesty in short waists
and long skirts and scarfs, that is not
Empire at all. You may call it, as
have said, Beau Brummel, IL you like.
Another lot of gowns that are being
labeled Empire belong rightly to the
period following the Empire, the Res
