class of dressy women who have plenty
of leisure and who favor black costumes.
What could be more simply elegant than
the design shown, cut with full plated
collar and picturesque sling sleeve and
finished with a narrow edging of black
ostrich feathers? 1t is worn with
black MORE skirt made entirely with
out decOratiOn-a mode sure to ind favor
with women of quiet and refined tastes.
The bonnet is on of jet, velvet and Parma
violets.
Black and colored velvet waists are
apt to be worn with black MORE and wool
skirts as soon as it is warm enough to
discard the cape. They are made in
blouse fashion and to give them extra
warmth a flannel lining is substituted for
silk. Vests to be worn with tailor suits
are made of fancy silks, are closely but
toned and fastened down the front with
horn buttons Transparent fronts of
chiffon or lace are also worn with tailor
coats. White linen collars, both standing
and turned over, are seen on colored
shirt waists while the cuffs are colored
like the shirt
New velvet ribbons are richly brocaded.
These will be used for millinery purposes,
for sashes and for both silk and cotton
gowns. One piece has punches of pop
pies and corn flowers in their natural
colors on a rich olive ground Perforated

For spring tailor-gowns that will serve
as travelling dresses throughout the sum-
mer are stylish English stuffs in canvas
and basket-cloth effects, woven together
very lightly in black brown, or dark
blue, says the New York Evening Post.
These dark fabrics are from 46 to 4S
inches wide, and they about equal in
popular favor the English serges that APP

in the long-favored navy blue, but in soft
silver blue, reseda, hunters green, fawn,
claret and brown. Other handsome
serges are lightly wrought with silk
stitches here and there, or woven in two
contrasting colors.
All of the latest jackets are short and
chic in effect, in decided contrast to the
long three-Quarter coats OF the winter.
Some are single, others double-breasted,
and some have rounded instead Of square
fronts Of course the longer shapes will
continue in favor for certain styles of
costume, for certain sorts of material,

and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup

THE TEE-HEE GIRL.

know little maiden, but really, on my
word
You would sooner think this person was q
Tee-hee bird
For no matter what you say,
If it's sad or If it's gay,
This silly maiden answers you with "Tee-
he-he."
With ''Tee-he, tee-he, tee-he-he."
She's quite q, pretty little girl, with bright
and smiling eyes,
And, in some things, l understand that she
is very wise;
But though she knows her letters,
No matter what her betterS
Or her elders may remark to her, this little
maiden. she
Is sure to end her answer with "Tee-he-
With "Tee-he, tee-he, tee-he-he."
If you tell her that your pocket is just
Ii you tell her you've a headache and she
must not make a noise,
If you tell her she's your pride,
Or If you Scold and chide.
1t really is the same to her SO far as I can
see,
For her answer is giggle, with Tee
A ''Tee-he, tee-he, tee-he-he''
1 have heard this little maiden say that she
was very tired;
I have heard her ask for lots of things she
very much desired;
But to everything she uttered,
Or mumbled forth or muttered
She tackled that senseless glggle that is
quite devoid of glee-
That foolish little habit of "Tee-he-he,'
A "Tee-he, tee-he, tee-he-he'
I sometimes feel quite worried lest an elf or
whom I've heard
Should come along and change this girl into
Il Tee-hee bird.
When. in all sorts of weather,
With each curl turned to feather,
She'd have to sit the livelong day alone
upon a tree,
Just calling out to folks below her ''Tee-
he-he,'
Her ''Tee-he. tee-he. tee-he-he."

A Boys Interest in War.

AS an example of the exceedingly di-
verse interests that may depend upon
the success of the japanese army, we
quote the following letter, which was
recently received by Marshal Yamagata:
General: I am an ordinary schoolboy
scarcely s years old. l stay in Berne. III
the atlas Switzerland is smaller than Japan.
am very glad you have met your enemies
as my forefathers met theirs, and that the
brave general has always won: 1t is to be
hoped that you will conquer the great Chi
nese empire and pull down the Great Wall
that surrounds it. | believe this wall is to
blame for my not having, any Chinese
kind man. Will you be SO good as to send
me some of the many Chinese stamps which
you are sure to find among the booty?
The marshal was, of course, much
amused at the letter; and although he has
not yet had time to pull down the Great
Wall he has made such arrangements
that it shall no longer stand in the way
of his youthful correspondents ambition.

Farm Wages In The south.
Washington Post (Goldbug.)l

The study of the financial questions
has recently become conspicuous fea-
ture of the daily life of the American
people. 1t pervades all circles. We
suppose there are few persons of either
eex, in any city, town, or township in
the United States, who are not able to
take an active part in financial de-
bate.
Some of our American students of fl
nance have recently returned from a
visit to Mexico, where they applied
themselves with much assiduity to the
study of the free coinage question
They have come back fully persuaded
that they must oppose the free coinage
of silver because in Mexico, which is a
silver country, the Mexican poems, or
farm labOrers, receive wages of only 20
to 25 cents per day, and they fear that
the wages of American farm laborers
would be reduced to this amount il we
should decide on free coinage.
The New Orleans Times-DemOcrat
asserts that the wages OF many farm
laborers in the South have already
reached a lower rate than those paid
to Mexican poems. On the basis of last
season, when cotton on the farm sold
for cents pound and corn at 40 cents
bushel, the Times-DemOcrat says
that the total income for q tenan,
farmer and his wife was $3.50, or about
II cents a day EACH The same paper
adds:
"There are many farm hands in thu
South working now for IS per month
wages, with additional pay of ont
| bushel of meal and fourteen pounds o
meat per month as rations, and who
are trying to support their families OF
these wages, and working from dawl
of day to dark to do It,"
| These farm hands in the South ar
negroes. The Mexican poems are mOstl.
haif-breed Indians. The former ar
much the bett-r workers.
