Not Easily Worn Now That sailonn-slecved
Dresses Are the Fashion.
It, seems paradox to say that the
woman with a sealslSin sacque is to be
pitied this season. She has been en-
We'd heretofore. But the woman with
sealskin sacque is in bad way. She
has been run up against the balloon
and leg-o'-mutton sleeves. She has
been confronted with the alternative
of no shoulders or no sealslsin sacque.
For that sacque has never yet been
made that will comfortab bly, cover four
feet of shoulders and six inches ad-
ditional frill and leave the latter in
tact. In the ordinary course of fashion
1t has usually been only necessary for
the woman with sealslsin sacque to
get her treasure out of camphor upon
the approach of cold weather and take
IL promenade. She was considered al
ways ready for winter. The sealslin
was always in the style, and covered
multitude OF deficiencies. The woman
with the sealskin sacque was always
sure of being helped across a crowded
street by the police, was always asked
out to supper after the play, always
got IA seat in the cars, received the
general good attention of the world at
large. She was the envied of her sex,
All this is now changed. The uneX.
pected drought of the sealskin season
required prompt measures on the part
of the. latter. And they took them.
They began campaign of education

enemy with the dreadful balloon sleeve.
The balloon sleeve sent the sealslsir
sacque up highcrn kite. 1t is true
some obstinate women will try and
combine the two, but it comes hard,
Some of them take ont the old original
sleeve of the seal and put in balloon

Work for the Unemployed.

A suggestion for the amelioration of
the distress existing among great
masses Of the people, which has received
considerable attention, is for the state
and municipal authorities to furnish
employment in the construction and
improvement of the public highways.
The commerce of the country suffers to
the extent OF many hundreds of millions
annually on account of defective roads,
especially in the rural districts. Public!
works of this nature would be per"

country would derive continuous ben.

Unprof,table Road Work.

Why cannot the business OF repairing
country roads be conducted like any
other business in business-like way?
The old method of letting the tiller of

IN THE ROCKIES.
Modern Hermits OF the Snow in Theis
Lonely Haunts.


Lonely Haunts.
Up! Up! Up in the region of cloud
land and eternal snow, these hermits
of modern days have their solitary
haunts. Desolation and dreariness
reign supreme all around their huts.
The outside world is a blank to them,
They are in the world, but not OF it.
Where do they live? In the gulches
of the Rocky Mountains. And who are
they? Well. they are not lean and sal
low anchorites, who wear hair shirts
and mutilate themselves with much
securing. They know nothing of
pcnances, long boards and neglected
skin. No, indeed! These modern
hermits are jolly two-hundred pound
miners of lusty build and great sound
ing laughter, waiting for springs
warmth to free them that they may
prospect all the region around for
| precious yellow gold and white silver.
Many a millionaire has watched for
his wealth through all the long vigil
of winter on these exposed bluffs
And the vigil, although long, has
not been so dreary as you would inn
agine. Fancy yourself in one Of thess
cabins on a wild January night, with
! fourteen feet of snow outside and cold
twenty degrees below zero!
Whew! How the wind whistles and
means through the giant pines! But
inside all is warm and cozy, the storm
and tempest only adding to the COM
Portable checrfulness of the blazing
pine knots as they cast their ruddy
glow around.
A few shelves. some tin and pewter
ware, the ncver-failing elk horns, an
old wooden table and chairs these
constitute the main features of the
place. In a very safe place the medi'
are stored carefully away.
And there is food for mind as well Il,
body. Books, magazines and paper:
are scattered around And pcrar does
Mrs Barr or Dickens appear SO inter
esting as here, where you are Shut il
with God, yourself, your companion
; and your favorite author.
Never mind the tracliless snow ant
the miles Of wintry distance swept b,
, the blast between yourself and th
nearest residence of man. Put on an
other log. light up the camp and enjo
yourself. Let the storm king howl
:, That is his disappointment lie know
you are oblivious to all surroundings.
When you require state dinner, yo
; dig in the snow and dig up the burie
deer or, perchance, bear Did 20
ever taste Mr.. Grizzly? Well he re
! sembles pork very much.
a But sometimes u great swooping VAN
pire of death in the shape of an ava
u lanche carries the cabin, inmates am
y all away, and no one knows of tn
i disaster until next spring. And bc
fore now, a man has sickcncd in thes
5 abiding hills. And his companio
y watched and watched, but he gre,
V deadly and chill, and his heart cease
to beat. One is taken, the other left
/ No grave can be dug, and just at tn,
u door he lays the silent comrade, t
L sleep until the warm season returns
These brave pioneers of the west
S they can rank with any mountain
i heroes the world has ever produced
t Manly, bold, rugged, they fear moth
S ing; and some are men of devoted lives
G while every one would give the las

i panion.
n Such are our modern hermits who ar
up in the rockies and the SNOWY.

THE SIZE OF A BILLION.
Few Have Any Adequate Conception oi
What .,lyiiliOns To

Few Have Any Adequate Conception of
What u "Billion'' Is.
The sheets of paper on which the
Times is printed, ii laid out fiat and
firmly pressed together as in II well
bound book, would represent measure
of about one three hundred and thirty
third of an inch in thickness. Let MS
see how high n dense pile formed by a
billion of these thin paper leaves
would reach. We must in Imagination
pile them vertically upward, by de-
grees reaching the height OF our tallcst
spires. and passing these the pile must
still grow higher, topping the Alps and
the Andes and the highest peaks of the
Himalayas, and shooting up thence
through the fleecy clouds pass beyond
the confines of our attenuated atmos-
phere and leap up into the blue ether
| with which the universe is filed, stand
ing proudly up far beyond the reach of
all terrestrial things-still pile on your
thousands and millions of thin leaves,
for we are only beginning to rear the
mighty mass. Add millions on millions
on these, and thousands of miles on
, these, and still the number will lack
/ it's due amount.
Let us pause to look at the neat
plowed edges of the book before us.
! See how closely lie those thin flakes of
| paper: how many there are in the mere
width of span, and then turn our eyes
! in Imagination upward to our mighty
| column of accumulated sheets. 1t now
contains its appointed number, and our
! quadrillion of sheets of the Times su-
| perimposed upon each other and pressed
into compact mass has reached an al
| titudc of ~, ,34S miles Those who have
taken the trouble to follow me thus
| far will, | think. agree with me that
one million is a fearful thing, and that
few can appreciate its real value. AS
for quadrilions and trillops, they are
simply words. mere words, wholly in
capable of adequately impressing them
selves on human intellect.-London
Times.
OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES said few
days ago, concerning Hawthorne's
well-known diffidcncc, sit was always
an adventure whether one would suc-
ceed in cnticing Hawthorne into any
thing like communicative intercourse.
He went his solitary way through life
like whale through the crowds of
lesser fishes in the sea. You might
stand in your boat and hnrl your har-
poon at him as he passed-it was hit or
miss. If you succeeded in bringing him
to he was genial enough company for
awhile in his abstracted olympian way.
Ii you missed him you would hardly
have another chance for year"

The Height of Chinese Fashion.

The wives of the wealthy Chinese of
San Francisco now dress in fashionable
attire. The wife and daughter of u
rich merchant are thus described: Both
were elegantly dressed. The mother
wore Il satin kilt skirt, with boX-plaits
of blue and black, embroidered before
and behind, and killed on both sides.
The shams, or over dresses, We're of
rich purple brocaded silk, with the
now fashionable sleeves of imme nse
width, the inside being lined with blue
silk. The glitter from three diamond
hngs drew our attention to hands of
lily whiteness, and wrist that bore
bangles of chased gold and the palest
of jade. Her EARRINGS were studded
with pearls. from each of which hung
The usual ring OF jade. Her head was
without bonnet. The hair was set
with artificial flowers, bars and pins Of
gold and drops of pearls. She said it
took her maid two hours to dress her
hair, and don't doubt it. But these
Chinese ladies are worry rarely seen out
of doors. They go about in closed car
riages, covering the face when they

YOUR SONS WIFE.
Wise Words for the Mother Whose Bo
Ia Ahout IN NJnrry.

Wise Words for the Mothcr Whose Boy
is About to Marry.
With those mothers whose grown
SONS are contemplating matrimony we
wish to have little confidential chat.
OF course we know that you think no
one in the world is quite good enough
for that boy of yours, but just the
same let the tenderness and the gentle
acts of consideration be for the youth
full bride rather than the new made
husband.
1t is crucial period in woman's
life when she enters another family,
and many an hour of sorrow can be
avoided if at the outset Johns mother
puts her loving arms around the new
daughter anN makes her feel she is u
welcome addition rather than an in
truder in tho new home. Love your
boy all that you want to, but do not
make your affection for your son show
up in evident contrast to the lukewarln
feeling you entertain for his wife.
Men are not 80 easily hurt. The
masculine heurt is not so easily
wounded. Sights that would grieve
the woman would never be noticed by
the man; therefore. be hypocritical
rather than too honest in your express
sion of feeling. Make the young girl
feel at home. You never will know
the awful longing she may experience
for words of love and comfort; You,
perhaps, deem her cold, when she is
only hurt, or reserved when she is do
ing her best to keep back the tears Of
loneliness.
Even taough. she does not live under
your roof you can show in many ways
that you regard her as u daughter
rather than that dignified individual
your sons wife. If she is far away
from her home try and make up to her
for it's loss and though at first your
own heart may cry ont against the di-
vision of an affection that has always
been yours entirely, in time you will
reap the reward of a greater love both
from the son and the daughter-in-law.
