down by the United States govern,

''If subscribers order the discon-

publisher may continue to send
them until arrcarages are paid.
If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub.
fishers, and their paper ia sent to
the former place they are held re-
spOnsible.
The courts have decided that re-
fuslng to take periodicals from Of
flee before removing and leavin g
them uncalled for is prima facia
evidence of intentional fraud.
If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice to
the publisher at the expiration of
their time if they do not wish to
continue taking it; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send it
on and subscribers will be respou-
sible until an express order to dis.

Publishers of newspapers can

form part of the drapery. The surah
should be fastened into the side seams,
and the armholes, but need not be
brought much lower than the top of the
corselet, as otherwise it will give the
waist clumsy appearance. The left
side Of the drapery must be fastened
over the yoke with hooks and eyes, as
this latter passes under it and fastens on
the shoulder. The corselet can be made
on the bodice, or as q separate addition.
In the latter case the bodice is worn un-
der the skirt, to which it is attached by
hooks and eyes.
AS it is very difficult for an amateur
to make a body and a corselet all in
one, | shall describe the more simple
plan of making the corselet separately.
1t is made of the same velvet ae the
yoke. A lining is first cut and fitted
from ti,e bodice pattern, then sewn and
honed, with the exceptions of the seams
at the middle OF the back, the front and
she sides. The corselet is now in four
pieces, which should be covered with
velvet, well stretched with pins, and
faced with thin italian cloth. Both
velvet and lining must be cut on the
cross. The corselet fsstens invisihlv.

fasten it and lend a chic appearance.
The sleeves, although full, are only very
slightly raised on the shoulder. The
revers are of surah silk, in the came
shade aa the stripe, and the full vest is
of coffee-colored surab. The same style
would look equally we'll in any oolored
striped material-for instance, two
shades of green or dark blue and red, or,
for raven haired beauty, amethyst and
old gold. For half mourning. black and

The other gown, although so simple,
is very becoming and fashionable. The
yoke needs q word or two of notice, for
it is a novelty, and any novelty in the
way of yckes is welcome. The ribbon
bow, placed at the eide OF the yoke, is
very pretty, and also takes away from
the upright bow which terminates the
band the one-sided look this new fash
ion in sashes is inclined to give the
wearer.
A tea gown of red plush trimmed
with cream lace and straw colored surah,
is to be seen in the fourth picture. The
front is formed by lace insertions
divided by stripes of finely pleated
surah. The collarette is also OF the
surah.
The little girls dress is of cream cash-
mere, the skirt being strewn with small
pink and blue fowerets. The bodice
and sleeves are of The plain cream. The
bretelles and fat hounces around the
edge Of the skirt are of cornhower blue
velvet.
Either your gown must be draped in

front and all outline of the figure about
the waist line and between that line and
the bust concealed, or you must partic-
ulsrly emphasize these lines. One way
of doing so is to have the bodice fit alb
solutely without wrinkle or fastening.
The high collar is made of band of
embroidered or beaded stuff, as broad as
the neck will permit. Across the chest
passes similar band and just over the
bust line another Right above the
waist line band entirely encircles the
body, and Immediately below the waist
line, marking the end of the bodice,
there 10 another band about the body.
The bands across the chest and breast
are curved to harmonize with the cir
cles below, the whole effect being to
give an abundance Of pretty curves to
good figure. Let us hope both fashions
will prevail, for the loose style certainly
sets off the other. and the 9TH
er adds to the loose. But the
woman in the loose fronted gown, if
she has a figure, is at once consumed
with desire to'show the other woman
that the she, too, can wear that style;
and, if she hasn't figure, she is likely
to feel there is no compensation in wear
ing o lovely gown when she fesls it's

lack. She would rather go into tight
fitting things, anyhow, and thus reveal
to the world the fact which, kept hid

that unless all women go into the EN-
pire and loose style many women will
refuse to.

BAGDAD'S COURT.
1T Is CALLED KANGAROO, BUT 1T
Is EFFECTIvE.
How Tramps Have Learned to Avoid
the Place Where This Ir-
regular Tribunal
Is Held.

Cramps find the climate OF Bagdad,
CAL, extremely uncongenial to their
health, and give the place as wide q
berth as possible" said R. s. Watkins,
an engineer on the Atlantic and Pacific
railroad, to reporter recently. bag
dad is railroad town situated right in
the heart of the Mojsve desert, on the
Atlantic and Pacific road, and just on
the border of the famous Death valley.
The population, comprising some 40
souls, with the exception of atore-
keeper consists entirely of railroad men,
and their hostility to that nomadic fra
ternity variously designated as tramps,
buns and beats, and collectively ciassi-
fed as hcbos, is well known throughout
the surrounding country. There is no
law, or rather what law there is is q
dead letter, 30 the railroad men have
improvised Justice shop known as the
kangaroo court and while its methods
cannot by any means be approved OF by
lsw-abiding people, it muet be confessed
that they are far more efficacious than
the ordinary legitimate way of dispens-
ing Justice. Whenever q tramp who
may happen to be beating his way over
the road is unfortunate enough to get
'ditched' or 80 indiHcreetas to drop nH to
sssivsssa sss DtBEs tBS one dn 81 the sefspponted
police functionaries and taken be
fore the Kangaroo He is then
charged with trespassing or accused
on some trumped.up charge, such
as stealing watch or other property
from one of the railorad men, who, by
the way, is always on had to swear to
his alleged loss and the circumstances g
pointing to the guilt of the accused.
After listening to tho evidence, the
kangaroo invariably finds the culprit
guilty. Now, as to the punishment,
it is optional with the victim to suffer it
in one or two forms. The first is a
drenching for 10 minutes with water
thrownswith no gentle velocity from a
hose with nozzle an inch in diameter /;
the second, knoutilg of 30 lashes with
cat-'o-nine-tails, and despite the
tramp's proverbial antipathy to water,
the former mode OF Punishment is said
to be the favorite with the 'Kangaroo's'
victims. This, however, might be &C.
counted for by the intense heat which
prevails in that country. The victim is
then given something to eat and made to
leave town Immediately, not being al.
lowed to wait for train, I have seen
as many as 15 tramps 'Kangarooed' and
drilled out of town at one time The
nearest station either way is 20 miles
over the burning sands of the desert,
and it is known that wise tramps beat
ing their way overland have gone by
way of the Northern or Southern Pacific
roads in order to avoid Bagdad and it's

Sailing along on south Spring street.
With smiling face and gracious mien,
A lady fair with footst' ps fleet
And wOndrous breadth of crinoline!
Now may heaven defend,
Or other aid lend
Are those hoops to be commonly seen7
If SO, our houses much larger must be.
Our carriages at least twice as broad;
And just think the dressmaker's fee
When the bill he presents to me lord"
For "two hundred" or more
He will feel very sore,
And 'men tailors" with put to the sword.
Then what must poor fellow do?
On the street can he ever get past?
Till those rat traps are under the dew
May the days fly ever SO fast.
They'll soan sweep, the ground
For mile or more round,
And no telling how long they will last
When the clock In the parlor strikes two,
And she hints 1t is time he should go,
He must distantly' bid her adieu,
Tho the sweetest of smiles she bestow.
For ktcs he would die,
But tn ere's no use to try,
When there's ten feet OF crinoline flow.
Just imagine their shape at the ball;
Like lot of balloons they will soar,
While we will be down for a ia
Or sprawl on the ball room floor.

And your praises Well ever more sound.

Tho Distance Dancers Cover In Their
Wheels.
A society man in this place, says the
Pomona Progress, whose name we are
forbidden to reveal, has furnished us
the following estimate of the distance
Travelled by the dancers at an ordinary
ball: An average waltz takes a person
over about three-quarters of mile, at a
run, too. Count for yourself how much
the girl with q well-filled programme
traverses in an evening. Twenty dances
is the average. OF these about IL are
waltzes. There, at once, are nine miles.
Three gallops and she has done IL miles.
Five other dances at half mile apiece,
which is hardly big estimate, brings
her close upon 10 miles, to cay nothing
of the interspersed strolls and prone
nades. Yet some people will talk about
the physical inability Of heladiea of the
present day.
