Military RallOOninv,

Some experiments in military bal
looming have just been made in
France. Five balloons were released
from the Esplanade des Invalides in
Paris, the aeronauts in charge having
been previously instructed to pass
over radius OF twenty miles of
country supposed to lie held by an
enemy and then to descend as closely
as possible to Combs la Vile. One
Of the balloons descended within a
mile OF the desired place and two
Others at a point somewhat more dis
tant from it.

play has accustomed women to. This
ruff adjusts itself to any sort of neck.
The frills are mounted on as narrow a
band as need be to be comfortable. The
frills stand out straight from the neck,
instead OF upright against it. They
stand out so far and the band on which
they are mounted is loose enough, SO
that you really have lots of ruff even il
you have very little neck, and the
effect is secured successfully and with
out discomfort to you. Maybe Henry
VIII. was not stylish, but his ruff suits
the idea Of style to-day, and now that
you have learned how to get into the
thing without entire sacrifice OF your
head, you can go in for it and be happy.
Eut avoid the other things.
Two pretty street dresses are de-
picted in the fourth illustration. That
at the left is composed of dark-blue
foulard and trimmed with white lace
and apple-green surah. The skirt is
trimmed in the novel way mentioned
at the description of the initial, with
three serpentine ruffles, each edged
top and bottom with narrow white
lace. The ronnd bodice has q pointed
yoke OF gathered green silk finished
with bands of guipure lace. The re-
nader is laid In tiny pleats and
trimmed with vertical bands of lace
insertion three inches wide. The
other gown is made of pale-blue and
white striped organdie, trimmed with
insertions of embroidered batiste. The
skirt is lined with white satin and
garnished on the inside with q pinked
satin frill. The blouse waist is plain
in back and the hooks in front are hid
den by q strip OF insertion. The draped
fronts have also two bands of the same
insertion on either side. These fronts
are loose and are joined in the shoulder
seam. The belt is a plain band Of
batiste. The sleeves have a large, full

LINCOLN MONUMENT AT placed in It. The
hp'NSuRGh story suggested
to Consul Wallace Bruce the idea of
securing burial place in Edinburgh
for Scottish American veterans.
Americans in Scotland were at once
interested in the project, and a site
was soon selected and marked by the
Lincoln monument, which represents
the martyred President freeing the
slaves. The monument is fifteen feet
in height and the bronze figure is of
life size. George E. Bissel was the
sculptor, and the entire cost was
about $4,000.

The unframed mind OF the "help" in

green satin and silk. Each end of the
spiral band of the skirt ends in q large
rosette. The bodice has q narrow
plastron Of green silk which is finished
on either side with bands of black gui-
pure insertion. The rest of the front
Of the bodice is made of cream-colored
silk, while the back and sleeves are of
the gray stuff. The search for odd
effects in skirt adornment has led
some daring dressmakers to follow fes-
tOOn lines about the skirts. These are
either trimmed with lace actually fes-
TONED held up with bows Of ribbons or
knots of flowers, or else the ruff1es are
put on the skirts in wavy lines.
Frequently there are only two festoons,
the ruffie or puff curving down acr oss
the front and the back Of the skirt, and
being caught up at the sides. The
bunch OF ribbon or knot Of flowers be-
comes more and more q reminder of
curtain drapery and horticultural col
.lections. But the question just now is
not is it pretty, is it graceful, but is it
the fashionable thing? If 1t is, go

Should Women Ride Bicyclesr

$3.50
The answer to this question is that
1t depends on the woman. The staid
and elderly matron and the lady of
marked avoirdupOis are manifestly
out of place on the ''wheel." They
would seem awkward and undiGnifled;
they wOulu arouse the risibilities in-
stead OF the admiration of behOlders;
and that is something that no woman,
whether she is 16 or 90. Is willing to
so But the blooming girls and
young matrons can ride with grace,
dignity and enjoyment to themselves
aud the onlookers. The army of
wheelwOmen keeps pace in its in
crease with the host Of wheclmen.
And 1t is pleasant to chronicle the
fact that the young women ordinarily
ride much better than the young
men. They sit erect They pedal
firmly. They steer straight. Their
neat costumes tit them admirably.
They illustrate once more the truth
of the maxim that whatever the
American woman does Is done grace
fully and we'll. There are few steeds
in the world so ditIioult to ride at first
as the bicycle. 1t is al treacherous
as the bucking broncho. as quick as
fabricated lightning, as thoroughly
possessed of total depravity as any
animate or inanimate thing that ever
existed. The horse never lived that
could shy as suddenly and as disas.
trpusly as the tricky wheel. Its calm
determination to so in the wrong di-
rectiOn when beginner mounts it
could give points TO the obstinacy of
an army mule. The American girl,
who has conquered the rest of the
world. has conquered the bicycle. She
sits on its unstable saddle with as
much self possession and modesty as
she sits in a parlor chair. She has
solved for all time the problem as to
whether young women should ride

ment OF the highest moral qualities
From this dictum the New
York Press emphatically dis.
sents 1t is as easy for a. pretty
woman to be wise and witty and good
as it is for a handsome man--perhaps
easier. Human nature Is very much
the same in both the sOxes There
are hand ONE men who are tops
There are pretty women who are
butterflies And there is a multitude
of men and women destitute OF strik-
ing physical kraces who are foolish
and frivolous. Good looks do rot
impair the stalwart qualities of q
manly man. Beauty never spoils
womanly woman. 1t heightens her
fascination; it is q possession to be
thankful for But it Is not necessary
for a woman to possess classic beauty
to be charming. The woman whose
womanliness clothes her as with a
garment, whose intelligence is quick
and penetrating, whose tact never
fails, whose gracious kindliness makes
friends of those who approach her, is
the woman of the greatest charm.

For about seven years past our read
ers have seen in our paper the bright
locals of the Burlington Route, set
ting forth the many advantages offer
ed by that railroad as a route from the
Northwest to Chicago, st. Louis and
other prominent cities. Much atten.

and many of our patrons have asked
us when these trains leave Minneapo-
lis and st. Paul, when they arrive at
destination, and what are the accom-.
modations. Here is brief answer.
The morning train leaves the Twin
Cities every day, except Sunday, and
its equipment consists of baggage cars,
coaches and reclining chair cars-seats
free. BY this train view can be had
of $50 miles of the finest river scenery
in America. Dinner can be had at La
Crosse, supper at Savanna, and the
train reaches Chicago in the evening
in time to connect with several trains
for the East. Passengers by this train
reach Galesburg at $50 in the evening
where connection is made with fast
Burlington trains for Kansas City. st
Joseph, Omaha, Lincoln and Denver
and also arrive without change at St
Louis next morning in time to make
all connections. The evening trair

st. Louis Oberver: Drunkenness is
a short insanity. If a man commits
a crime when he is drunk, technic-
ally he is not guilty, beause the law
holds that "in insanity there can be
no crime" Bnt the drunkard is a
murderer, nevertheless. Heis logic
ally and morally guilty of two crimes.
Sentimentalism excuses men for
crimes committed when in a state of
intoxication, but justice and right
eousness demand that they should
suffer the consequences of their sins.
If we had a few decisions from
good judges showing the connection
between drunkenness and the crime
committed in drunken state, we
should have fewer drunkards and
fewer murderers. If we should fol-
low the chain of argument back tC
the drunkard maker and the license
giver, and the voter for saloons, we
would incriminate more than hal
the voting population ofthe country
Logic is memorable. When tn
Great Judge comes to look for blood
on whose hands will he find it?
