nothing causes moro comment. since watching the bathers has become the event of tho day at many of the fashion able resorts.
 Mohair seems the popular material this season, as it sheds the water, so that the garments do not become as heavy as tho flannel ones. Serge is also a favorite, as it comes in a variety of colors.
 One of the latest designs in bathing full bodice fastens on one side like q Russian blouse.
 4 dark blue serge is quite effective trimmed with white braid in scallops around the neck, sleeves, down the front and around tho bottom of the skirt and trousers A rufflc of white comes from under tho edge, and white button dccorates the center of each seal lop.
 Silk is often used for the bathing suits and is especially suitable for the accordion plaitcd skirts. A very Frenchy affair is made with collar, sleeves, ac- cordion plaited skirt and trousers of pe- tunia colored wash silk, with n tight flt- ting bodice of lowered silk. The sleeves are short and made of two ruffles. Tho collar is tied with q sailor knot The trousers are very wide and gathered at the knee. The latest French importa- tion, however, is tho bloomer bathing costume Thcrc is no skirt, and tho wide trousers are gathered into band at the knee.
 Tho striped flanncls in various com binations of color arc pretty. A white one striped with black is made with broad collar and belt of white, a deep frill to the waist coming below the bolt Plaitings of white arc let into the skirt \ large anchor embroidered in rcd on the front of the waist gives n touch of color. One that is natty and becom- ing has tho skirt and trousers of red | serge and tho waist and sleeves of white, striped around with red; wide jabot shoulder cape of white and white belt and rcvcrs on the skirt. It is also made with the blouse, which seems cx- trcmely popular this season. Another red suit has n wide collarcttc of white serge finished around the edge with white braid put on in scallops. The sleeves and bottom of skirt are trimmed | in the same way.
 The necessity of a bath robe will ccr- tainly be felt during the introduction of the hloomcr style at least. In fact, the bath robe is n convenience and comfort

with any suit. The material most used for it is Turkish toweling and it may be trimmed with fancy cotton braid or ribbon. The only rule is that it must be long, loose and full, so as to slip on easily and drape about one in ample folds.
 The wearing of a cap or head cover ing of any kind is a matter of indiyid- ual taste. According to the New York Sun, authority for the foregoing, the most becoming arrangement is Il square of some fancy stuff, harmonizing with the suit, wound about the head and knotted in front, the ends left standing up ill cOqucttish way.

 WASHINCTON, Aug. S.-Chairman Will son and his associate house tariff confer ecs scored a victory when the house Dem ocratic caucus. called with a view of ter minating the tariff struggle by instructing or advising the house COnferees, adjourn ed without taking any action. The effect of this was to leave the house conferces to proceed as they saw best and to show con spicuously that the effort to advise them had failed.
 The friends of MT. Wilson found that they had the caucus so well in hand that they could have passed the Livingston resolution expressing confidence, but there was no desire on the part of the support CTS of the confcrccs to take this course. Speaker Crisp and Chairman Wilson OK pressed themselves as gratified with this conclusion, and among the rank and file of tho house the sentiment was general that the movement inauguratcd to bring an acceptance of tho senate bill had rc- suited in materially strengthening the op- position to the senate bill.
 The caucus was called to order by Chair man Holman.

so much of the life of a child is spent and where so many seeds are sown that bear prolific fruit in due season. Now, however, thanks to the enterprise of the house decorator, the fitting out of nurs- cry is easily accomplished The very rich, of course, may go to q swell decora- tor to give him carte blanche to decorate the children's apartment. but in most homes the potent question: of expenses must be considered. For these homes where nurseries are needed, but where frescoed walls and expensive pictures are out of the question, the wall paper manufacturers have come to the fore. As related in the New York Herald, the modern nursery wall papers are artistic in drawing and color, educational and fascinating even to older eyes than they were intended for. The cost is so cheap and the varieties so great that there cx- ists hardly any excuse for bare walled nursery.
 A very pretty design is tho ono called tho pussy willow" and is designed for q nursery where children of varying ages arc destined to spend much of their time The larger pattern relieves that tresome repetition of figures that grows monotonous even to childish pcrCcp- tions. In an up town house where this furnishes the wall covering it has been vanished and rcsists the impulse of lit tic finger nails 10 pull and tear ill 8 spirit of curiosity to discover what lies hidden beneath and at tho same time gives surface from which dust and dirty thumb marks may be readily spongcd. It costs a little extra to var nish, but in the wear of the paper, in cleanliness and hcalthfulncss the added expense is moro than repaid Pastoral scenes arc favorito designs for nursery wall papers.

THE report which comes from Chicago that the American Railway union has been instrumental in causing the arrest of cer- tain persons on the charge of having in- cited the riots and led the mob during the great strike there is interesting. It looks as if the union proposes to show that no one connected with that organization had anything to do with the wholesale destruc- ton of property in that city during the late uBpleasantness. If it shall succeed ln this effort, it will have relieved itself of a good deal of the odium which nt present attaches to it and to its officers.
 THE advertiser who keeps his business prominently before people and asks per sistently and often for their trade is the one who will get the most business. The man who is nearly as energetic will get the business that Is left. and the one who stands around on the edge with his hands in his pockets may very reasonably and justly expect to gst "what the boy shot at" Advertising reduced to its lowest terms is merely asking people for their trade. That's all there is of it. A busi- ness man wants trade in som1 particular line. If it is a good line and if he under. stands it and runs his business properly, it Is only question of asking enough peo. pie and asking them cften. In the dull season when comparatively few people are | buying anything. the advertising effort should be increased as the number of pos slbIc buyers decreases. It is easier to sell S1O worth of goods among thousand peo- pie than it is to sell that much among one hundred people. If there are only one hundred to work on, work them hard.

The unexpected weakness which
the Chinese nation has developed in
its contests with Japan is very sug-
gestive. For a number of years it
has been reported that Ii Kung
Chang has been trying to adopt Euro
pean methods in army drilling, so as
to place the empire in better posi-
tion should war occur. But against
Japan it was not supposed that China
would prove so complete a failure in
fighting as 1t has The fact is that
the much-vaunted civil service sys-
tenn Of China Is largely responsible
for the degeneracy OF its people. Sue
cessive generations have been drilled
not to think but to learn just so
much as will entitle them to pass the
required examinations. The result
is that the whole nation seems to be
cut on one pattern, and each genera
tion shows diminishing size. There
Is, in addition, a great amount of
corruption in Chinese service, as
there inevitably is in all despotisms.
This was also protected by the civil
service system, which regards the
offices as belonging Of right to those
who have earned them by passing the
sham examinations which are re-
Quired.
