Interesting Hints about your

The stylish Sack Suit will be three button cutaway front and long enough to look like frock coat. Double breasted Sack Suits will still be popular and have double breasted vests. Frock Suits with cutaway front will be worn more than usual, in fact bid fair to become more popu- lar than they have for some years, but be careful not to have them too long. the fine tailors are not cutting the skirts as long as some ready made manufacturers have While they are still cut long il is a neat medium length that is stylish when made to fit well The goods are neat effects ir grey, blue, brown and black all very dark and becoming, 1T chcviots, vicunas and worsteds The fact is you can be bettel dressed for less money tha1 eyer before. as to price

WOES oF THE MILKMAN.

Try His Best, He Never Succeeds Tn Getting
 Back All His Bottles.
 "The greatest trial of my life" " says a milkman, lis bottles. Yes, sir, bottles. If it wasn't for bottles, I'd want nothing better. Other people never think of bot ties. I actually dream of bottles. It's bottles, bottles, bottles-who's got the bottles with me all the time!
 ''The most perfect system of book keeping ever invented will not account for bottles. When I send out 100 bot ties of milk in the morning, I'm dead certain to lose track of half n dozen. I never look upon them bottles all again. Never again, sir! The milks arc cents and tho bottles are s cents But the peo- pei who would scorn to steal milk will keep the bottles. They think bottles don't cost nothing, or they don't think nothing at all.
 Some time ago a lady was behind about seven bottles and hadn't returned any for a week. I know some people get two or three days behind with their empties, but I couldn't account for all of these. While was thinking about it and look over across toward her flat l saw her maid chuck an empty out of the kitchen winder into the lot. And, don't you know, 1 went over there and found Q whole pile of broken bottles and two or three whole ones. They | didn't know any better. Now, there was a lady in the other day, and says, 'Ma'am, says I. I've got you charged with five bottles here.
 Whats that?' says she. I haven't got any of your old bottles. You don't suppose I'd steal milk bottles, do you: When get to stealing, I'll take some thing bettcr'n old castoff milk bottles I don't like your milk anyhow. It's more'n half water, and I'm going to change
 And she did change, and lost a | good customer by the mere mention of bottles. Some people keep their tea and things in the bottles. You cant go and search for them. You must take their word for it that they ain't got none. They are supposed to return their empties the next day, and they'll kecT them for n week. I'd havc to have q carload of extra bottles to suit them. Some of them just slap on their cmpties when the dumbwaitcr comes their way, and some other milkman goes of with them. They don't care. And then, when you call Cp for their cmptics they get mad as hops and swear the! sent them down-which perhaps the! did, but not to Us.
 | And there's the servants that Ircal bottles and swear they r. turned thu m ; week ago. and their mistr,sss,=s bclicv, them. It's enough tO drive mLn [, drinkr'-Ncw York Herald.

THE vessel with a cargo of wool that waited outside the Boston harbor for the tariff bill to become a law in order to es- cape the duties on her cargo is a reminder of what was transpiring in all the custom houses of the country just about four years ago when the Mckinley bill was about to % into effect. Then duties on about all articles of mf rchandise were to be ad- vanced, and the result was that tbe custom houses were doing a rushing business and incoming ships crowded every port. The custom house oiicials were kept busy up to the hour of midnight the day before the Mckinley bill became a law, and then the reaction came in a twinkling. Exactly the opposite state of things is being witnessed now, showing that the merchants are alive to their opportunities now as then.
 REPRESENTATIVE McCREARY of Kentucky says pertinently: "The house has passed more good bills and enacted more import ant legislation than any of its predecessors in ten years, or of any with which I am familiar, and I have been watching the course of legislation for twenty years. Of the new tariff bill he says: ''It is not as sweeping and comprehensive as I de sire, but it is the best tariff reform bill since l 57, when a democratic congres! amended the Walker tariff bill of 1S46 bJ reducing the tariff rates to an average rat. of IS per cent. The new tariff bill place! l wool, salt. lumber, farming machinery cotton ties. cotton bagging, binding twin' and number of other necessary articles on the free list. The duty on wooler goods and clothing has been reduced iron an average rate of ninety-eight to forty eight per cent, and millions of dollars aE ! nunlly will be saved to the people oI l clothing and woolen goods alone"

without q perfect knowledge OF the
nude, to be rather presumptuous for US
to say we can make perfect figure
without knowing anything about 1t.
w. II. Beard has long opposed the
present method of using the nude In
the study of art, and while he wishes
10 be clearly understood as in no sense
wishing to do away with 1t he does
wish to be understood as DESTROYS OF
having some very radical reforms
adpoted.
Il am opposed to the study OF the
nude as it is now done. Mr.. Beard
said: There is not sufficient numter
OF women following up the profusslon
to compensate for the injury that is
done the morals by the present custom
of posing nude models before women,
or posing nude models before the male
students, either.
II see no reason why models should
not be draped TO an extent that will
meet the demands OF modesty, and it
could be done without interfering At all
with the curves or lines OF the figure.
The nude is used too much alto
gether. It was never shown to the ex'
tent it is now. The demand seems to be
for il, and the more sug gestiye it is the
more readily it appears to please. We
might do away with the nude entirely,
[ think, without any injury to art"

The galleries of Europe are filed
with examples of the art OF the middle
ages, with the horrors Of painting in an
age when it was a sin to be acquainted
with the lines OF the human body, and
men and women were only shown at
prayer or numbering some holy man,
go II did not make much difference
what they looked like. Last summer
an echo of this spirit showed itself in
Glasgow, and few weeks ago a similar
display was made in another Scotch
city. Ia the first instance the Common
Council Of Glasgow forbade the display
of a well known painting because nude
figures appeared ia it, ana in the sec
ond instance Michael Angeles David"
was forbidden for the same reason.
LICENSE FOLLOWING RESTRAINT.
Ia view Of the era Of license that fol-
lowed the total temporary eXtinguish-
ment of art and its associated accom-
plishments it is singular that the mill
tant purists should advocate their
theories with such uncompromising
perSistency, and justities the locker on
in the belief that these persons are
mostly concerned in carrying through
their own pet fad, aud really have no
care for succeeding generations.
