Spring Tailor Jackets and Gowns for
Ladies.

For Spring wear, the Norfolk jacket
will again be the favorite, being used
as distinct garment, or as a com
ponent of tailor costumes. In these
jackets, the three box pleats, to con-
form with the present taste, are made,
both back and front, to fall below the
belt in full short skirt style, thus
producing the flarng effect which is
so much sought after When they
are made up Of cloth for wear with
various gowns silk is generally used
for the belt. 1t is asserted that sleeves
will be as large as ever, if not larger.
AS for skirts they are more and more
flaring at the bottom, showing the
gradual widening from the hips to the
foot. From London the new tailor
gowns for Spring have double breasted
blousewaists without fullness at the
neck, but very much gathered all
around at the waist. Light tweeds
and cloths are very popular for all
kinds of Spring costumes, including
bicycle suits. The Mcdowell Fashion

One May Now GO About with n Gallon
OF So In Ones Pocket.
As l said week or two ago, writes
Miranda, in the Lady's Pictorial, we
cannot always congratulate ourselves
on scientific progress. There are some
times occasions when one wishes ID
would not go ON quite so rapidly, and
If 1t is true that a Frenchman has dis
covered means of concentrating wine
in tablets, | fancy 1t will not be long
before we shall regret this particular
discovery. For, by this newly-found
process one will be enabled to carry
about gallon or more of wine in a
waistcoat pocket, or a card case, and
no very vivid Imagination is required
to forsee the results. No doubt it will
be very convenient for travellers and
others to carry their wine-cellars about
with them in a handbag, but of course
1t Is just possible they may sometimes
forget the strength of the tablets and
instead Of taking glass of port and
biscuit at noon, they may quite In.
nocently consume two or three bot
ties! One sees possibilities OF endless
misunderstanding in the vinuous
tabloid of the future.

What Bccnmes OF SILK Waste.

There was, some forty years ago, a
great amount of waste in the manu-
facture of silk, and vast heap of
rubbish accumulated outside of every
factory. made up of leaves, dead silk
worms, imperfect cocoUns, sticks, etc,
and the only possible use appeared to
be that of manure. lord Masham
(then Mr. Lister invented a machine
for sorting out the silk, with the re-
suit that tons OF silk, are redeemed,
and over 5000 persons are employed
in connecting the silk so saved into
sealskin plushes, ribbons, velvets, etc,
Of the best quality. The inventor has
realized an immense fortune.

The following correspondence has

that there is still a lively interest
manifested in Indiana in the subject
Of official patronage:
To the Hon. A. H. Taylor, Pc
tersburg. Ind.-Dear Sir:-Your
Communication of the - date rela-
tive to the appointment Of John
Survant as Postmaster at Survant,
Pike county, Indiana, has been re-
|ceivsd. On March l3, 1893, you
recommended Felix G. Dearing
for Postmaster at Survant, Indiana.
Will you kindly notify the depart
msnt which Of the candidates you
prefer? Very respectfully,
r. o. maxwell,
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gsn'l.

To the Hon. X. o. MAxwsLL,
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral, Washington, ID. C.-Sir: The
Enclosure received. Mr. Felix G..
Dearing, whom I recommended on
March l3, 1898, ~ suitable per-
son to BE- appointed Postmaster 1t
Survant, Pike county, Indiana, af-
ter living in expectation for many
years Of being selected for that i'm
portant duty, at last gave up Ill
hope and died in iull faith Of resur-
rection, but minus the appointment.
In justice TO the Administration,
however, 1 will admit that Mr..
Dearing was past middle life, and,
therefore, did not possess the full
staying qualities OF many others.
! have now selected Q vigorous
young man, who is fully able TO bear
with the delays incident tol the
change Of fourth class Postmastsrs
without dying or even going into
decline. A large and respectable
portion Of this democratic cOmmun-
lily are 70 unreasonable % 10 think
they are entitled 10 q change, even
if it comes at ratio higher than six
teen Republicans TO one Democrat,
and, Of course, these requests have
to be considered by public dignita-
ries like yourself en- esse, and myself
len passe. i trust this explanation
|of my seeming change OF allegiance
lis fully satisfactory and will inset
with the full requirements of the
rules made and provided in such
cases. Very truly yours,

A PRISON EXPERIMENT.
Massachusetts, Will Try 10 Prevent Som,
Of Her C0nvicts From Becoming
Hardened.

An experiment in the treatment
of conyicts is about to be inaugu.
rated in the state prison of Massa-
chusetts, at Charleston, which may,
a expected, be Of much practical
benefit in behalf of prison reform.
1t is something like a return to the
system Of solitary confinement, al.
though in this case the prisoner will
be allowed to decide for himself il
he desires that mode Of life during
the period Of incarceration. A con-
vict doing this will see no one but
his keeper, but will be given plenty
Of exercise and good, wholesome
food, provided with work and be
kept in comfortable cell.
The evil after effects Of the pres
ent gregarious method Of keeping
convicts will, it is believed, be pre-
vented by the new system. Many
men who depart from the path Of
propriety, and are made to suffer for
it legally, go to prison with de-
termination To reform and to lead
good lives when their sentences ex-
pire, but they are thrown constant
ly into the companionship of hard
ened criminals, who will not fail to
insist upon continuance of the
| rison acquaintanceship after they
get out.
There are numerous instances on
record where a man who has been
released from prison, and endeavors
to lead a respectable life, is for, ed
back il.tp crime by those who were
C ,mpanion convicts with him, and
who adopt a system of blackmail
and threats Ia compel him to enter
into relations with them. The
Massachusetts, mode will allow well
disposed prisoners to separate them
selves from the other convicts, and
let them leave their cells when
freed, undismayed by the fear OF
meeting criminals who know they
also wore The stripes and will take
advantage of their knowl-
dge.-Washington Star.

drunken son out of the stairway OF

toughs, while drunk, had two OF
three fights up on Whisky Row."
and made night hideous with their

Miss Elizabeth Harrison's Lecture Be.
fore The Mothers Class.

Mss Harrison said:
The evidences that the child
goe~ through the many stages Of de-
ivclopment a. the race are many
Among them ARE the chill's love oi
bright colur-. his way Of repeating
sounds without melody, hiS Joy in
decorating himself, his use Of nouns
and verbs, his crude drawings and
hi> symbolic language, as when
he speaks Of IA 'bushel of love. :
All these are very early manifesto
tiOn~.
The moth should understand
these steps, and not violate the
child'~ gradual al Il wholesome de-
velopment by forcing him too rap
idly through them. For instance,
when the child haS reached the
Stage that CORES ponds to that of the
tribal condition. when the love of
family liIe is forming, he should
not be forced To 90 To strangers nor
pushed too hastily through this pc
riud For this reason hotels and
boarding houses are bad for chill
dren, and NAV entirely wipe out all
the love for home they would have
otherwise developed. Coming out
II the tribal conditions the child
longs to see something IF the out
side world. Every instinct prompts
him to explore and discover things.
Mothers should not punish their
children for these unpermitted ex-
cursions, but should. instead, sub
-titute something for them, such a.
trips To the market, short walks, or
visits Ia houses where there are 9TH
rr children. thus satisfying the in
stinct.
Later the child will insist on
having his own bureau drawer. his
pwn side Of the war irobe. just as
hi- savage ancestors did. Still
later will come the unfolding of his
mind To- right and Justice. A. when
he appeals 10 his mother to settle
disputes with his brothers. For
Instance, he will demand that his
brother give him his ball or other
toy, not because he wants it at the
time. but because he wants To test
the court of justice to see whether
il will do him abstract right BY
understanding that these iha>es #
the child's life are perfectly nor
NAL and natural, and not mere per
versity. the mother will know how
10 treat them"
Miss Harrison pointed out the
value Of symbols and symbolic
stories in teaching truths to chill
lren, just as the early races co.,
seycd their ethical principles by
means Of myths. The lecture con-

"The gr at majority Of American

is this sentiment that the masses
have not yet realized the fact that

that fact is fully realized by the
masses and they are brought face to
face with it, a proposition to do
away with the constitution itself
would not be more universally re-
jected. For The People instinct
