VERY PRETTY FOR YOUTHFUL FIGURES.
green, myrtle green, steel green, spring
green, lettuce green, verdigris, lovebird
green, etc. Dark greens are much used
for outdoor garments.
Cheap evening dresses should be very
earnestly considered, for every girl, no
matter how small her income, should
make a point of dressing herself with a
certain degree of smartness and should
avoid the black dress to which those of
mature years cling with such pertinacity
as to breed monotOny. Pale pink, blue,
daffodil yellow, sea green, are shades
which should accompany youth and
beauty, or the one without the other,
and, as full bodice lends itself amiably
to the handiwork of the maid or suburban
dressmaker, economy need not stand in
the way of pretty evening frocks of
crepon or of soft silk Crepon is per-
haps the more successful investment of
the two, unless you are prepared to
spend fair amount of money in soft
silk of a good quality.
A pretty gown is of white wool fabric,
the skirt trimmed at the foot with Il
thick ruche of white silk muslin. The
corsage is of gathered silk muslin over
silk, the yoke being embroidered with
pearls and trimmed with a pearl fringe.
The belt, with its long loops and bows,
and the knots on the corsage are of black

illustration of the new double skirt. A

Muddy Roads and CITY Merchants.

Until recently the inhabitants of
cities in this country have generally re-
garded the building of country roads as
an undertaking which belonged to the
farmer alone, the expense of which he
should bear. OF late, through natural
causes and the general agitation of the
question, better understanding has
been reached. The mud blockades i'll
various sections of the country in the
last few years have served to bring mer-
chants of towns and smaller cities to Il
realizing sense of what bad roads mean
Three years ago the merchants of an
Ohio city Of 80, 600 inhabitants lost, on
account of muddy roads, in two weeks
of the holiday season, over 500, 600 of
trade. Smaller cities and towns, of
course, suffered still more in proportion,
being more directly dependent upon the
trade which the farmers supplied. -

THE JEWElER.

Enamel tablets are the latest develop
ment for the chatelaine.
Prince of Wales feathers i'll silver are en-
tering Il bid for popularity.
The wreath as pin and chatelaine is put
ting on new leaves for the spring.
The chameleon. which in its live state has
been the latest fad, is seen now in decora-
tive silver.
Oval platinum sleeve buttons, highly pol
ished with a raised broken edge of gold,
are new and chaste.
The sword will keep its popularity for the
next season. None of the new swords are
prettier than those with the twisted enamel
handles. All swords of value should have
a guard. The hilt snakes them top heavy
and they easily come out without some pre-
caution Circular

aoaa Improvement In Califo...

The good roads agitation in Califor-
mia is encountering the difficulties which
are familiar to its friends in the east,
but it is making gratifying progress. 1t
began with the bicycle riders, who en-
listed the friends of draft animals. Last
winter committees from wheelmens
associations and county humane soci-
cites appeared before the legislature for
the purpose of securing improvements
in the road laws. The farmers, appre-
hensive that the work of roadbuilding
would be taken from them, stoutly re-
sisted the reform. A highway improve
ment bill was framed, which passed the
house, but it was side tracked" in the
senate. The agitation was not without
good results, however. The governor of
the state was interested and in June last
called convention of those interested
to meet at the state capital on Sept. 7.
1t appears that most of the counties have
spent in yearly taxes on poor roads more
money than it would have cost to build
good permanent roads, have pad inter
est on the sum for 90 years. and also
have provided for a sinking fund to dis
charge the principal at the end of that
time. Exchange.

BECOMING TOQUE. SMALL BONNET.
third frock, with its full, round bodice
and its simple. single skirt, adds yet an
other style from which young folk may
select and still be in the fashion.
Bonnets have not gone out of favor
though most women have taken on oc-
casions to wear hats. Royalty, even its
youngest members, has shown predi-
lection for wearing bonnets, and proba-
bly, it is the preference shown by the
Princess of Wales for small bonnets that
has brought them so much into favor.
A toque just fitting the shape of the
head in most becoming fashion may be
made in velvet, with feathers or other
style of garniture. The boat shape has
come back to favor and has been adapted
to the mode of sthe moment, for the
crown is quite low and fiat, but it turns
up becomingly at the side and is gener-
ally made in felt, with bows of velvet,
quilts and feathers. Ladies who do not
find the large hats becoming adopt small
bonnets, with strings that tie under the
chin

third good roads. Nearly everybody
that have met prefers good roads to
bad, and the old fashioned way of a man
working out his taxes building roads is
obsolete or ought 10 be. 1t did very

money scarce, but now maintain that
some organized system should control
the matter not only to secure uniform

The many discoveries of late years in
regard to food are very well calculated to
confuse and confound practical people
There is hardly an article of food in COM
mon use that has not been tabooed 10y this
scientist or that, until the average men or
women who give attention to scientific
subjects, and who have faith in the opin-
ion of scientists are at their wits end
which TO lopt regular diet, and which
to discard. The latest pronunciamento on
the subject is that of of DR. Helen Dens-
more, who openly declares that bread Is
an unwholcsome and unnatural article of
diet This will be revelation to the
masses. That some bread--in point of
fact a greLt deal of it's unwholesome is
readily comprehensive, but that bread
properly made is to be classcd with the
unnatural and unhealthful is, in this age,
and after all these centuries of experience,
too staggering for any other than cranks.

Selecting a Music Teacher.

Pupils who take lessons of an incom-
petent teacher for several years and aft
erward study with a thorough teacher
always find that they are obliged to go
back to the beginning. The instruction
q they have received has too often been
worse than no instruction at all, and
time and money have been wasted. All
this might have been avoided if the pu-
pill had been more careful in selecting a
thorough teacher at the beginning.
Pupils who have been taking lessons
for a year or two and do not know the
difference between the legato and STAG
cato touch and play pieces and do not
know what key they are written in should
know that there is something wrong and
should find out as soon as possible wheth-
er the fault is theirs or their teachers.
If it is the former, they had better begin
to use their brains as we'll as their fingers
in practicing, but if it is the latter they
had better change teachers, says The
Etude.

Money Thrown AwnY.

Fifty counties in the state of New
York are paying every year in cash and
labor, the latter valued at 81 a day for
every man, So. ZOO, 900 for their present
roads. That is an average for each
county of $54, 900. The same thing is
proportionately true of states. Estimat-
ing the cost of macadam road at 81, 900
a mile, its maximum, it becomes glar-
ingly evident that the present average
cost of highway improvement in New
York every year would pay the interest

THE HAZER.

The exceedingly amusing and highly hui
morOus college prank" has developed into
murder at Cornell aud should be treated
accordingly.-New York Advertiser.
The Cornell lesson should be severe
enough to awaken students everywhere to
the criminallty as well as the foolishness of
college hazing and rowdyism in all its
phases.-Troy (N. W Times.
The conviction has been steadily growing
that there is only one way to deal with the
brutes who practice haZing. Their offense
must not be regarded in the light of an I'M
dergraduate joke, to be excused however
severe may be the results of it.-Newark
(S. j. Advertiser.
The serious consequence of hazing at Cor
nell should form an example of sufficient
power to break the practice at all our col
leges for good and all, for the outcome
was murder. a severe punishment of the
offenders is needed for the protection of life
hereafter.-Boston Herald.
Boys will be boys, and college students
will have their fun, but fun that results in
manslaughter is deserving quite different
name. The fun of the Cornell sophomores,
through which colored servant lost her
life and a number of freshmen were
brought to deaths door, deserves to be ex-
plated in prison.-Philadelphi Times.

FRIEND
And Universally Beloved by

The Truest Friends Are Those Who
Never Forsake Us.
This May Lead you to Find One You
Need and Have Never Known.

We all value true friend, and there
comes a time to us all when assistance of
some kind is necessary. When our health
fails and we are overtaken by sickness and
disease, then is the time when the needed
friend comes forward to aid us.
Mrs Alice Dyson. of % Hamlet st, Fall
River, Mass, knows the value of such n
friend for one come to her when she was
sick and almost dying and made her
strong, we'll woman. She writes the fol-
dowing letter about it:
Il suffered for five years with nervous
prostration in its severest form. l had loss
of memory, weak heart, causing extreme
palpitation, was constantly tired and
obliged to lie down much of the time. For
two years 1 had to be helped up and down
stairs. 1 had loss of appetite and was
terribly distressed by what little food
could eat.
II was troubled with sleeplessness, not
being able to get but about two hours rest
at night. 1 felt t. tired too breathe, was
white as a sheet and was given up twice
for dying.

Victoria Will Sojourn at the Villa Fabbri-
cOtti, In Florence, This Year.
Queen Victoria will soon make her an
nual pilgrimage to Italy, whittier her
visits seem to have become as regular as
those to Balmoral and the isle of Wight.
Florence, the City of Flowers, has re-
tanned its claims on her majesty's regard,
and she will sojourn there again this
year, though not in the grand old Villa
Palmieri, where she spent the spring of
last year. The Villa Fabbricotti, at
Montughi, one of the nearest hilly sub
urbs of Florence, has been taken for her
majesty this season, and several adja
cent villas have been engaged for her
rather numerous suit. The queen her
self selected the locality of her new
dOmicile on her last visit because of its
peculiar beauty and pointed out the vii

quirements.

than Villa Palnieri. 1t is ON the same

National Mnn~gcment of Roads.

A striking illustration of the compar-
alive merits of national and local man
agement of public roads is to be found
i'll Germany. The best roads of that
country were built by the states which
now constitute the empire while they
were yet independent Kingdoms, and
were thus the creations of national gov
ernments. Absorbed into the eIupire,
the states were no longer distinct ma
tions. What had been national before
to them now sunk to the rank of the
provincial. The roads had been con-
stantly improved previous to the forma-
lion of the empire. Now narrower and
cheaper roads are built, and the high
ways of the fatherland, excellent as
they are, do not compare favorably
with those of France, over which ma
honal authority is exercised. - Ex-
