FASHION ECHOES,

Peach color is a favorite shade in
London.
Flowered ribbon will be in great
vogue the coming season.
Diagonal materials for spring will be
seen in all possible variations.
Irideseent passementerie, lace inser-
ton, and more particularly elegant
trimmings of jetted velvet ribbon
formed into rosettes and loops, are ex-
tensively used to decorate delicate Gre
pons for demi-dress wear
The fact that the blouse and all
other styles in fancy waists remain in
high fashion il Paris is the substance
of a recent letter from that city. Black
silk velvet ribbons are greatly favored
as accessories, and are likewise used
on some of the finest miliinery-in the
way of small bonnets, for bows and
bands drawn through jewel, jet or steel
buckles.
A new and very attractive black ma
terial will appear for spring wear I'M
der the name of creponette. 1t differs
but slightly from the familiar crepon
fabrics, yet is more beautiful in color
ing and more characteristic in design.
A silk-warp material called Victoria
cloth will soon be popular. 1t is finer
in finish than Henrietta cloth, and its
wearing qualities are assured.
For children's party dresses nothing
which wears well and looks well is
preferable to velveteen,a MARTIAL which
appears to enjoy unending popularity
A variety of beautiful colors and its
durability make it suitable for both
boys and girls, and for blonde and
brunette alike. Clad in its warm folds
little children run no risk from Jack
Frost or fire, which is always to be
dreaded at children's festivities, and
last, but not least, there is no prettier
background for the pink and cream
complexions, bright eyes and shining
tresses of lovely childhood.

THE IDEAL ARM.
Expressiveness am Important but
Rare Feature.

New York World.
81 find great difficulty in getting a
model with good arms" said a we'll
known sculptor recently. 1T is aston
ishing how few women there are with
arms that conform to the standard. A
perfect arm, measured from the wrist
joint to the armpit, should be twice
the Ter 9Th of the head. The upper
part of the arm should be large, full
and well rounded. The 'e should be 4
dimple at the elbow. The forearm must
not be too fiat, not nearly so fiat as a
mans, for instance.
From a well-moul.laI shoulder the
whole arm should taper in long, grace
full curves to a well-rounded wrist. 1t
is better to have an arm that har-
monies, even if the parts do not con-
form to the generally accepted lines.
For instance, a full, round upper arm
which is joined to a fiat or thin forearm
has very bad effect. Perhaps it is
only a little worse, however, than a
graceful, well-moulded forearm tackled
onto a thin, scrawny upper arm.
CORRECTNESS of form is not the only
thing necessary for a good arm. The
owner must possess the power of eX-
preston with her arms. American
women are deficient in this as a rule.
Those nationalities which show the
most expression in their arms are the
Spanish, French and Italians. The
warmest admirer of Sarah Bernhard
would uot claim that she had beauti-
full arms, yet no one can say that the
divine Sarah ever appears ungainly in
consequence. Much more lies in the
faculty of arm expression than is gen.
eralIy supposed"

Nature Will Assert Herself.

One woman said to another recent
ly: ''She boasts that she is never
idle, that every moment not spent
in sleep is a busy one. When she
does sit down for a short time she
always has some fancy work ready,
and picks it up. She declares that
she can rest as we'll if her hands are
occupied as if they lie quiet in her
lap. In fact, she says that she rests
better for the triling work, and I
imagine that she does, but it is be-
cause she is too overweight and
too nervous to sit perfectly still. I
shall be much surprised if, some day.
there is not a total collapse there"
If nature has, as is alleged, a long
memory and never forgets an injury.
it does seem probable that this wom-
an who, like her prototype in Mother
Goose, ''never is quiet" will some
day discover that the few moments
of refreshment and rest that she
would not seize, as she went on with
her daily work, have been forced
upon her in the accumulation of
their long arrears.

A STRANGE SURVIVAL.

However wrong Senator Roverud
may be in his effort to secure the
passage of an act authorizing him,
as the recorder Of a village, to ap-
point a deputy, so that in the face
of the constitution he may be both
a senator and a recorder, there is no
question as to the Soundness of his
proposition to abolish the hoary fos-
sill in our statutes giving to the
captor of horse thieves a state re-
ward of 5000. The rejection of his
proposition illustrates afresh the
tenacity of conservatism. This law
survives long after all occasion for
it's use has passed away. The con-
ditions which made it barely COM
mendable have long since ceased to
exist. There is no more reason to-
day why a reward should be paid
for the capture of horse thief than
there is for the capture Of a pick
pocket, nor nearly so much.
The law had it's origin in the days
of the first settlements of the coun-
try, when the settler was far more
dependent upon his horse than he
is today. Markets were distant,
horses were dear and scarce, and
no greater misfortune could befall
the dweller upon the prairies than
the loss of his horse. With the team
gone or broken into by the death of
one or its theft, the operations of
the farm came almost to a dead
halt. To the early settler his horse
was what the horse is to the Arab
of the desert. To him there could be
no greater crime than to deprive him
of it unlawfully. 1t was under such
conditions as these that the bounty
act was passed.
But those conditions have long
since passed away. Railroads thread
the country, bringing the markets near
to the farm. Electricity has super
seeded horses in the street car lines,
and the price is steadily diminishing
with the demand for them. With
the increase, too, of settlement the
loss of a horse is no longer the seri-
Gus loss it was thirty years ago.
even If it break up the only team on
the farm. Its place can be readily
and cheaply supplied. A few weeks
ago a thousand horses were sold in
the city of Chicago whose avera ee
value was $3.50. The average horse
today is not worth one-fourth what
| it was twenty years ago. Washing
ton and Montana are over-stocked
with horses that can be purchased
| at from $40 to 500 a head. Under
these circumstances what an alb
/ surdity it is to give to a sheriff
whose duty it is to catch the thief
OF to the laymen who may catch
| him, $500 as a reward for CATCHING
the thief who had stolen a horse
whose value averages only one
fourth of the reward, and still ST
| entrenched is this useless law in
custom that Senator Royerud's
sensible proposition to send it to the
garnet of desuete laws was PROMPTLY
ana unceremoniously swept aside.

JACKSONVILLE Fla. Feb. S.-Palm
Beach Oh Lake Worth was the warmest
point OH the mainland OF the whole
United States this morning, the mercury
showing 80 above zero. On top of the
freezing temperature last night Tampa
reported snow falling at daybreak, and

Florida latitude. The mercury fell to
IA above i'll jacksonville. The coolest
points in the state were Is at Titusyille,
% at Tampa, % at Jupiter. At Key
West and Palm Beach the mercury
dropped from 81 to 50. These were
the only points in the state above
freezing. Orange and other fruit trees
are probably all killed outright, except
the Oldest and toughest of them, for
they were naked, budding and full of
sap. and particularly susceptible to
cold. The loss will aggregate many
millions of dollars. The average life OF
a tree is thirty years, which means fully
twenty prospective crops for trees now
beginning to bear. All early vegeta-
bles are ruined and 100000 boxes of
strawberries, which would have been
shipped from Feb. 90 to March 10, are
completely destroyed today. The plants
are also ruined. There will probably
be no early strawberries from Florida
this season. The prediction for tonight
is still lower temperature over the ell
tire northern peninsula.

The Duluth weather liar hobs up

clusively that it could not have

The action of Judge Grosscup in
removing Greenhut from the re-
ownership of the whisky trust ought
TO mark a turn in the course of the
courts in appointing receivers. 1t is
altogether too much their practice
to appoint as receiver a man who
mas so mismanaged the propertv as
to compel a receivership. This is
frequently the case in railroads and
business houses. When Judge Cross

to depreciate the property so that a
more advantageous settlement can
be made with the creditors, and ulti-
