dress proper, the guimpe, and the jacket.
The dress proper has q seam under
each arm and two (or four) small darts
to shape the front lining, the outside
being left full. Both outside and lin
ing are gathered to fit the neck in
front. The shoulders are cut very short,
thus giving perfect freedom to the arm.
The skirt may be either gored or full,
and the dress may open at the front,
back, or side, As desired. The jacket
which completes the outdoor costume
has but two seams. It may scarcely be

need be no waist line, neither is there

Pension Reform.

Mr.. Cleveland has at last chosen a
commissioner of pensions. He has been
deliberate about filling this important
office, partly, we presume, that he
might not make Harrison's mistake Of
appointing Tanner in haste and re-
penting at leisure, and partly, no
doubt, that he might find the right
man to carry out his pension policy.
That he has such a policy is put beyond
doubt by not only the terms of his in
au2ural, but by the necessities of the
situation. Looked at from any point
of view, some thorough-going measures
of reform in the administration of the
pension business are imperatively
called for. The finances of the country
cry out for relief from the enormous
pension burdens. The honor of the old
soldiers calls for cessation of the in
discriminate and pauperizing granting
of pensions to the undeserving or posi-
lively dishonorable. Political purifica-
ton demands the dismantling of the
huge political machine into which the
pension bureau has been transformed.

day or two in winter. Many suppose it
to be necessary to line the entire article
of furniture with zinc, but this is an
error. Only the tank for the ice need
be of metal, and this must be water
tight, with a tube at the bottom for
draining off the water as the ice melts.
1t is the only expensive part of the re-
frigerator. Any timer will make it
for two to five dollars, according to size

The chief essential in a refrigerator
is air spaces or non-conductive packing
to prevent absorption of heat from the
air of the room in which it stands. A
tight box of the required dimensions is
neatly lined with three-inch Georgia
pine matched, a three-inch space being
left between box and lining and filled
with powdered charcoal. The lined
box is then covered with the same
wood, or with ash or maple if one pre-.
fer. An air space of an inch or an inch
and half should be left between the
box and covering. Fig. 1 shows a cross

held in place. Placed at the top, because
this is the best position for the ice. in.

by two brackets on each side of the in

the tank is put between two boards OF
the lining before they are nailed and
firmly fastened. A false bottom pre-.
vents the ice from injuring the zinc,
and permits free drainage. Two OF

ceptacle to hold whatever is to be kept
cold.

CURTAlLING EXPENSES.

Measures of Economy Adopted by the
New Administrations.
Both in the treasury department and
in the department of agriculture the
democratic administration has begun
reforms that have been long needed. By
discharging the Objectionable statisti-
clan and with him a great many others
who have been earnestly and seriously
drawing their salaries while merely
playing at work, Secretary Morton is
doing much to redeem his department
from the odium to which it has been 10
long subject that the people very gen.
orally believe it Aas been justly called
the department of humbug.
He has made an excellent beginning,
and if he continues his researches he
will find that there are republicans in
the department doing little or nothing,
who have held over from Arthur's time
who rewarded democratic mag
doing all they could to get
democrats out as soon as Harri-
son succeeded Cleveland. 1t will be
genuine reform to get rid of such
barnacles, especially if they pretend
that they have been retained as indis-
pensab1e, when the real reason of their
retention is that they have pulled wires
party in turn, helping the democrats to
turn out republicans and the repub-
licans to turn out democrats, in hopes
that they would thus retain their own
places.
The more of these people Mr.. Morton
rotates out to support themselves by
honest work the more efficient he will
popular he will become with all who
believe that genuine reform means
something more than keeping repub-
icans in office.-St. Louis Republic.

II is the fault of many Of our rooms

make 1t look luxurious and warm. In
the summer it is desirable to catch
every breeze, and it is also desirable to
have the rooms look cool and airy.
Light muslin curtains of the simplest
kind arc the draperies needed. Elab.
orate lace curtains seem out of place.
and all vvoolens or heavy tapestries are
certainly unsuitable for the surround

hangin9 of netting is sometimes sub
stituted for the curtains OF the large
door between parlors, a space which is
likely to look bare if left entirely with
out drapery. 1t is a matter of doubt
whether bed-hangings of every kind
had better be dispensed with or not.
Certainly the half bed-tester now used
does not shut out air, but it is some
what elaborate and liable to catch dust
in summer, and for that reason it had
better be done away with for the time.

The same is true of cushions and all up

The Reason in a Nutshell.

The goldbugs in their crusade
against silver point to the fact that
silver has deprecated in value until
the metal in the standard dollars is
not worth over Go cents an ounce.
In speech in the United States
senate, published in the Congressional
Record of January 5, 1898, Senator
Stewart gave the cause of the de-
probation in the value of silver in
his forcible manner as follows:
''The most unreasonable argu-
ment used by the defenders of the
act of 1873, demonetizing silver, is
the suggestion that the silver in the
silver dollar is not worth dollar in
gold. While 412a grains of standard
silver, which constitute a dollar,
could be taken to the mint and coin
ed, such quantity of silver was always
worth as much as the 25.8 grains of
gold which was contained in the gold
dollar. 1t was the exclusion of sill
yer from the mint which destroyed
the market, impaired its value, and
enhanced the value of gold.
