The dress goods is changeable silk
showing mode and garnet.
A pretty house gown is made per-
fectly plain with big sleeves and rib
bon belt. For wear over it there Is an
adorable lamp-shade yoke-cape, which
extends in deep point way out over
the full sleeves, so far that, with the
arm akimbo, the elbow Is reached.
The line OF the cape is prettily sloped
up little and then down to the point
at the belt. 1t ia edged with founce
OF lace that narrows slightly towards
the front and back points. The cape
is set on throat yoke, formed of rows
of shirring, the yoke and high collar
being one. When made in dainty
light wash goods nothing could be
more distracting for little bride than
such breakfast gown, aud If she
wants to take look into her kitchen
before breakfast, the lamp-shade cape
can be removed and she is in the trim
NEST possible work dress.
Two house dresses are presented in
the next illustration, that at the left
being a very pretty example OF the
erstwhile tea gown. Its material Is
yellow surah and it has round yoke

gathered. The yoke is made of valen-
ciennes insertion and strips of silk, and
the collar is entirely OF lace insertion.
The collarette that finishes the yoke is
deep frill of valenc:ennes lace, bor-
dered with a surah putting. The
sleeves are not lined, and are made Of
lace and silk insertion to match the
yoke and are also trimmed with deep
lace frills. The gown hooks in front
and a yellow satin ribbon belt ties
around the waist. The right-hand
costume is composed OF new elastic
wooden suiting, striped with red and
white. The bodice lining Is separate,
boned and hooks in front, and the
dress itself is cut princess. Attached
to the lining bodice is a full skirt OF
red silk. The dress hooks at the side
and the front lap, over as far as the
side back seam, whore 1t is slightly
draped and fastened. Owing to the
looping this side is rather shorter. AZ

PHYSICIANS, like other men, must
live, but the public expects from the
medical profession higher standard
OF duty than that shown in mere
grab for every dollar in sight. Two
Chicago doctors have been censured
by coroner's jury for negligence in
allowing a woman, whose life could
have been saved, to die OF blood poi
soning. These gentlemen, 1t appears,
attended the woman until her money
ran out, when they left her to live or
die-they didn't care which. The
fact that the unfortunate woman
finally raised some money and re-
called the mercenary doctors only
makes the case worse. She was then
beyond help, and the operation that
was performed only fastened her
death. But the doctors got her
money, which seems to have been all
they cared, for. Does the Cook Coun-
ty Medical Association--if there Is
such body--approve Of this style Of
medical ethics?

lacks in reasonableness that it is not
surprising to see it take on odd and
grotesque expressions, as IL frequently
does. Here in the second picture Is an
example which shows plainly how des-
perate Is the search for novelty. The
dress Is of a very dark-brown cloth
and the spiral trimming black fur.
The deep basque is in fluted pleats, and
a very high collar tops it.
Now that so many fancy waists are
required, IL Is as we'll to learn few
tricks of Transformation. Be wise and
have two or three waists made quite
plain, about hips, throat, and shout
ders. Let the sleeves be Of gigot pat
tern, full at the top and close below the
elbow. Employ only one material In
the construction OF these waists, then
consider them as foundations merely,
and plan lot OF accessories to use at
your pleasure with the foundation
waists, and you will drive your neigh
Dor friends mad with the idea that you
have several dozen fancy bodices. You
will have a foundation waist OF black,
one Of white, one Of your pet color, and
possibly one OF lowered silk. A finish
for the black will be thus arranged:
arm straps OF ribbon velvet to set over
the shoulder are connected by piece
of velvet to cross the chest and one to
cross the shoulder at the back. To
the lower edge of the front piece run
very full piece of black net that
shall at the corners reach the bust line
and slope to the waist line In front
Applique on the lower edge OF the net
finish OF cream guipure, and spray
applique guipure flowers, circles or
crescents all over It, Patterns cut out
of cheap lace applique with excellent
effect To the shoulder straps fasten
squares OF net embellished In the same
way and edged q three sides with the

guipure. At the back comes a piece
to correspond with the front. At one
side where the shoulder piece and the
cross piece Of velvet meet, there should
be bow of ribbon velvet, finished at
the ends with guipure edge and with a
row or so of guipure above. A yoke of
guipure lace may be set in the open
square, the collar of the same being q
wide ruffie of guipure, held high and
close about the throat by tie OF
velvet ribbon, fastened at the side and
furnished with ends to match the side
bow below. This yoke should he made
adjustable, and the ribbon at the
throat should not be fastened to the
lace, for you will want the same yoke
with white satin ribbon for use with
the white waist.
In the dress of the third picture
there is shown a handsome style OF
trimming, which consists, for the skirt,
of band OF changeable watered rib
bon edged on both sides with fancy
border and drawn through buckles in
front and back as shown. The jacket
bodice has a fitted vest hooking in
front which is covered with gathered
plastron of a contrasting shade Of silk,
either open in the center or tapping
over, and edged with darker velvet
whose ends lap over in the waist and
form belt. The basque is pleated and
garnished down the edges of the fronts
with narrower ribbon than that on the
skirt. The puffed sleeves are also

No country has yet been discovered
In which the natural conditions are
perfect There are few localities in
this world of ours which from expert
ence and by common consent are
agreed to be unusually favored as q
habitation for man. Among these the
State OF Washington and the Puget
Sound country especially take high
rank. None will dispute the well-es-
tablished fact that Puget Sound is the
largest and safest land locked tide
water harbor on the face of the earth.
To the east runs a range OF ma
jestically picturesque mountains with
countless spurs, slopes, and glens,
covered with primeval forests more
valuable commercially than the gold
that Cortez and Pizarro sought.
Stored away in these snow-capped and
fOrest-clothed peaks are mines OF gold
and silver. coal and iron. A veritable
Monte Cristo is even now developing,
which will enrich thousands In this
and generations to follow.
Far up in these snow-covered noun
tains are the scources whence spring
the multitudinous streams making the
valleys as fruitful as any on earth. To
the newcomer from the prairies there
may seem to be scarcity of tillable
land, but quantity Is made up in quail
ity. The fifteen inhabited islands OF
the Bermuda group contain an aggre-
gate OF 1900 acres capable of cultiva-
ton, less than half township in area,

potatoes, onions and tomatoes sent to

lion dollars, and in addition living

Of Martinique, he is allowed to have
four Of his wives with him, he Is al
lotted $4,000 francs q year for inch

every night of his life on the best

a lot In life Is In strong contrast with
that of the ex-King Of Gravesend,
who is allowed no wives, no income

hard every day. The two cases illus
trate the difference between the
French and the American method OF
dealing with kings. The French

Telegraphers' Peculiar Penmanship.

writing of expert operators may be.
there is similarity that can always

to take down thirty to fifty words a
minute develops these muscles and
makes them do most of the work.
So the writing Of expert operators
has peculiar resemblance, which is
particularly noticeable to persons who
follow the business. A telegrapher
is compelled to adopt a different
style Of writing from that usually
taught In the schools. In the latter
beauty Is what is most desired; in

No MORE kindly, lovable, simple
hearted being than Ben King ever
lived. Every newspaper man who
knew him will regret his death as
that Of friend. For he made friends
wherever he met men. He was alb
solutely without enmity or ill-feeling
toward any created being, and he had
not an enemy in the world. Higher
praise could scarcely be spoken Of
any man. His death just at time
when his peculiar talents were begin
ming to be fully appreciated is loss
no less to his friends than to the
public, which is thus deprived Of a
writer and lecturer who could not
alone move to laughter, but who, in
his serious vein, was an educator and
a lover Of humanity.

THE malodorous lawsuit at Wash
lngton has brought up the old discus
sion about the sin of being found
out. 1t has, unhappily, become the
fashion to treat matters Of this kind
fiippantly. There is no excuse for
such treatment, either as matter
of morals or from standpoint of ex-
pediency. For the broad assertion Is
justified that the man who practices
immortality is a fool. There is a flaw
somewhere In his intellectual make
up. His folly does not consist in be-
ing found out. He may conceal his
iniquity-whether it consists in Sc
ducing women, in financial dishon-
esty, or in treachery to friends or
party-all his life long, and still be a
fool. And, what is more, he will
himself realize at one time or an
other that he is fool-that he has
not received anything OF value to
compensate him for the loss Of his
self-respect. No man Is entirely
without sin Of some kind. Most men,
happily, are warned from habitual
immortality by the results of one slip.
But any man can, II he will look back,
put his finger on some failing
peccadillo--and testify that 1t cost
him in mental suffering ten times all
the profit or all the qualification he
derived from 1t. Place this single
experience against the cumulative i'll
doing OF the habitually immoral man,
and imagine what his reckoning with
himself must be-for he does cast up
accounts with himself. Consider the
shame and modification of habitual
scoundrel left alone with himself
and decide whether the immoral man
Is the wise man or not.

A CORRESPONDENT protests against

A CORRESPONDENT protests against
the statement made in many news
papers that the strikers" In the Con-
Dellsville coke region Of Pennsylvania
are Hungarians. That their ranks
may have contained few Hungari-
ons is not denied, but he says the
great majority Of the men are Slavs
and Croatians, the latter being the
result of Slavic admixture with
other elements. The strikers were
gathered from the outskirts Of Hun
gary, and do not properly belong to
the Magyars, nor should they be
classed with them. As matter of
national pride it is we'll to draw the
distinction, but the statement does
not alter the fact that the conduct
of the strikers was in line with the
barbarous disregard for the rights of
others which obtained among most
human beings In the fifth century.

While nature has been generous in

The mountain barriers to the east
ward off the blizzard and cyclones that
desolate the midland States, and from
the tepid waters OF the Pacific comes
the chinook wind to temper the ar

fangs OF winter. Storms of thunder
and lightning are unknown. Excessive
heat Is as rare as severe cold. Flowers
bloom In the open air all through the
winter in sight OF peaks OF snow and

through the winter, and are dug as

THE terrific row kicked up over the
st. Gaudens medal by the Senate
Worlds Fair Committee moves an
Eastern contemporary to suggest that
there should be national art bureau
To pass upon such matters as the Co.
lumbar medal. The suggestion does
not appear feasible. The disagree
ments among doctors are feeble aud
puny compared with the pitched bat
ties between artists Of different
schools. No man conYd hold the po-
sition Of chief of the proposed art
bureau for month. He would favor
some parti :ular artistic cult or school,
and as result mighty roar would
go up from all the other cults and
schools demanding his impeachment
and removal. II he stood to his guns
his decisions would be ridiculed and
his motives questioned. His work
would be OF no value whatever, be-
cause nine tenths of the artists would
proclaim him to be an ignoramus and
charlatau. The Senate committee
is bad enough, but bureau of art
would be infinitely worse. Fortu-
nately we have few occasions for the
services Of such bureau. Columbia
medals will not be needed again for
century at least, and il the modest
minded Senators want to put trousers

better be allowed to do 1t. 1t will be
