A pretty d, ess accessory can be made
of black satin in the shape OF an
elaborated fichu with a regular pointed
fichu back that fits down under the
scarf pieces. The latter cross in sur
plice fashion over the bust. pass about
the waist and tie at the side in great
bow with dropping scarf ends. The
special elaboration consists in epau-
lettes of satin set on the fichu, to hang
over the sleeves of the gown with
which the Marie Stuart surplice is
worn. AT first sight it is difficult to
tell just what it is, whether bolero
jacket, an epaulette or sleeve. 1t
has collar and seems to be O Jacket
with front, and back just like a simple
bolero, then it becomes infected with
the eccentricities suggested by sleeve
elaboration. Instead OF going under
the arm for the sides of simple
minded bolero, it goes right over them
and develops lot Of folds and fancies
on the way, letting the sleeve of the
gown show above at the shoulder and
underneath. 1t is pretty and falls in
we'll with the present fancy for oddities
about the shoulders.
No daintier shoulder trimming could
be devised than that seen in the neg
lige of the next sketch. Here the
stuff is pink and white striped linen
batiste, and the garment has long
basques and yoke initiated by the
lace bertha, which runs down the front
in cascade. The fullness is taken in
the waist in back, and the sleeves are
finished by lace frills. Either pink or
white China silk may be used as lin:
ing, and bow of the same shade OF

of chiffon dress, you are really SO
much ahead II out of the whole gown
you can get the necessary two yards to
make stock. The very SWEETEST col
lar will be black MORE, modification
OF the directoire bow that captured
everyone last Season, and the old bow
can be utilized for the Scarf pieces OF
the new stock. For q black stock,
MORE may be used in the stock part,
and black gauze, chiffon or crepe may
form the scarf but so far there is no
encouragement for the woman who
would like to make her stock OF one
color and the tie of another.
For those who do not like the stock
there is the pretty folded collar, which
seems likely to be popular forever.
This style of collar now fastens at the
back, where spreading bow is added,
so wide in swing and wing fashion that
from the front the tips of the loops
show prettily. with a good deal the
same effect that is produced by side
loops.
For dressier indoor wear than either
of the costumes already described is
that of the third illustration. Com
posed of white linen muslin figured
with delicately tinted flowers, it is
trimmed with plain and embroidered
tulle. The skirt has slight train
and is edged with q narrow tulle rutfie
around the bottom. Figured muslin
is used for the bodice, and it has sep
arate fronts let into the side seams,
which are caught just above the bust.
There is short basque of embroidered
tulle and long fichu and sleeve frills
of the same. The front of the bodice

IT is intimated that the alleged
attempt to borrow 81, 500, 600 for the
purpose of taking out Of bond spirits
belonging to the whisky trust, and
the failure to do so, wasa ruse where
by to milk the lambs in the stock
market. Close on million dollars is
said to have been made by few men,
who deliberately avoided saving OF
more than that to the trust, which
they might have done by taking the
spirits out Of bond before the law
went into effect. II the truth be
told it was wicked thing to do, and
yet no more than might be expected
Of a set of men who essay to grow
rich by the manufacture Of the enemy

others which are suited to the APP
preaching cold weather, but unusual
ness is as valued in the latter as in the
former, and the danger of OVERRIDING
the oddity of any one feature or the
whole of costume Is as slight as it
was before.
AS an example of the high apprecia-
tion which oddities receive, the house
dress pictured in the initial is elo-
quent, for it was considered by its de-
signer as nothing short of work of
high art. OF its novelty there can be
no doubt; of its beauty there may be
different opinions, but that is the
point; the stranger is welcome because
he is stranger, and without much re-
gard for his appearance. A simple
gray woollen suiting is used for this
dress, and its gored skirt is three and
half yards wide, and is lined with al
paca. The back is laid in pleats facing
each other. Lining and stuff are cut
in equal length and width for the bod
ice. 1t has tiny basque and full
plastron which hangs down below the
waist line, coming inside the buttoned
extra fronts, which are sewed into the
side seam, and is finished with mar
row black lace ruf1le. A deep collar
comes across the shoulders, with the
ends tucked into the loose pat in
front. A plain standing collar and mar
row sleeves complete the costume.
House dress es of the neglige order
have ever been daintily adorned, and

mbines delicate stufs and new sorts
OF garniture, the result is especially
pleasing. The costume next shown
does this and is well worth copying.
AS sketched it is made from white
cashmere and mousseline chiffon. The
back breadths are gathered in the
waist and flare considerably in the
skirt portion. At the top they are
gathered to a round yoke. The front
breadths hook beneath the draped
part, which is left loose to show the
pleated panel OF mousseline. A draped
bertha. of white cashmere comcs over
the shoulders and is fastened with
jeweled ribbon, from which three
strings OF paste pearls extend to the
shoulder, where they fasten with q
rhinestone buckle. Jewel embroidery
also borders the drapery. The sleeves
are of pleated chiffon, and a white
cashmere ruching shows at the neck.
If reproduction OF this dress Is at
tempted, and a great many stuffs are
we'll suited to it, the jeweled ornamen-
tation might be omitted. In the orig
inal this trimming looked well, but
there is so much danger in the use OF
such things OF cheapening the effect
of the whole by profusion OF meek
gems, that the amateur needs beware
Collars and neck fixings are in great
variety, because they are so generally
used. Stocks threaten to be all the
rage and so will the poor short-necked
folk who have to go into them. The
easiest way to accomplish a stock at
home Is to make high standing folded
collar with stiff foundations which
fastens In the back. To its edges at
the back are attached soft scarf pieces.
After the stir collar Is adjusted, the
the front and there tie, the stock part
appearing above the bow. These
stocks are every bit as becoming and
correct as the expensive ones from the
stores, and they can be made OF left
over gauze, crepe, chiffon, taffeta,
satin, MORE, etc SO 1t IL best to save

THE work of making war maj

THE work of making war maps OF
Fishers Island, Gardeners Bay, and
Long Island Sound, which has been
voluntarily undertaken by the First
Naval Battalion, will do more than
repay the State of New York for the
maintenance Of that body. The in.
formation which will be collected will
be of inestimable value to the Ma
tional Government in case of war,
and in case Of riotous outbreaks In
the localities covered will be ex-
tremely useful to the State. 1t
should be borne in mind that the
officers in charge Of the work were
trained at Annapolis and have had
experience in the navy, so that they
will bring professional skill to the
direction OF the task.

A NEW YORK woman of bad repu-
tation has been explaining how she
committed perjury in recent in
quiry. In the first place, she said,
she did not swear on the bible, and
in the next place, when the oath was
being administered, she just waved
her right hand in the air instead OF
holding it straight up. Perhaps the
incident is of interest as tending to
show that conscience is never quite
uprooted unless In person Of educa-
tion or OF superior mental activity.
The woman in question is perjurer.
and worse, for her whole life has been
vicious. Yet she has her scruples
about taking false oath, as the
childish subterfuges show. A rather
better woman, but smarter or better
educated, might have calmly lied
her way through it-bible, straight
hand and all.

A LARGE nursery arm in Nilsson

A LARGE nursery nrm in Missouri
made ap offer last year Of trees
enough to plant an acre OF land for
every boy and girl whose parents
would give them the land. In two
weeks time they had given away 45,-
600 apple trees That ought to bring
good returns to the nursery men in
that sort which comes with the con-
seriousness of a good action. That
gift of trees will result In great
love for pomology on the part Of the
young folks who became orchardists.

PRoF. SAUNDERS, In an address to
the Canadian fruit growers, stated
that the food value Of apples depends
In a measure on the condition Of ripe
ness of the fruit; also on the variety
OF apples from which the supply is to
be furnished. European authorities
consider the money value of the fod-
der constituents in ordinary varieties
of apples and pears as somewhat
higher than those contained in an
equal weight of turnips, and those Of
the apple pomace as about one-third
higher in feeding value than the
whole apple, which has served for its
production, and about equal in value
TO sugar beets. Where apples are fed
to stock they should be given in mod
crate quantities, and should be liber-
ally supplemented with more nutri-
tious and more highly heterogeneous
food, such as bran, shorts or oil cake,
with fair proportion of hay.

In paper read by him before the
University Extension classes at OK
ford, England, Dr. Billings made the
novel suggestion that race may be an
element in determining varieties,
well known to be great, in the death
rates of different civilized countries.
He asked what is the secret of the
death rate in Austria being 3O.6 per
thousand while that Of Sweden is
only 17.6, and mentions the low
death rate in tenement houses in
New York occupied by Jews He says
that city is gathering place for all
nations and in it may be studied the
susceptibility to diseases of the diff
ferent races under much the same
conditions. The death rate Of the
Irish rises there to %, while it was
only Is at home. That Of the Ital-
ian falls from 2s.6 at home to IL.
in New York City, that of English
men shows little change as result
of crossing the Atlantic, while the
mortality of Germans falls consider
ably. 1t is found that certain dis
eases prey upon certain races with
particular virulence. The black man
suffers more than the white from con-
sumption and kindred ailments and
is altogether shorter-liyed, while
on the other hand he oftener escapes
malaria, yellow fever and cancer.
Among young Irish children there is
low death rate, among adults high
one, due to considerable extent to
the effect OF tuberculosis, pneumo.
MIA and alcoholism. Cancer and dis.
eases Of the digestive organs prey
especially upon the Germans, while
the Jews, who have low death rate
and escape consumption and pneumo.
mia, are especially liable to diabetes,
locomotor-ataxia,a and diseases of the
nervous system. DR.. Billings showed
that large region Of hygenic science
consists of little more than a group
of interesting problems, that the
most advanced researches have re-
suited only in plausible surmis IS OF
tentative solutions thus far, and that
the explanations which satisfied an
earlier generation of writers on pub.
lie health must be rejected or recon
sidered by their SUCCESSORS.

MANY a farmer who struggles with
weeds would find his labors reduced
IL he were careful to remove the
weeds from the roadside by his fields.
Weeds which go to seed by the road
give literally of their seeds to all the

long distances by the wind. The
farmer who has only grass growing
by the side Of his fields will have
