almost wicked to stretch dainty lawn,
Dresden or Japanese silk over stiff
hair cloth and take all the character out
of the goods, and it is not always easy
to plan loose drapery. This design
meets the case exactly. You may use
as many yards Of material as you like
In this skirt. There is not a gore, not
a cut anywhere, and when scanned to-
gether the skirt Is as wide ut the waist
as IL Is at the hem, which Is saying a
good deal these days. Ten vandykes
of lace are set point up about the hips.
Under the vandykes the fulness of the
skirt is largely gathered, between them
the rest of the fulness lies in close
tucks, and from the big end of the van
dykes the fulness escapes in soft,
loosely rounded fold to the hem. Only
the deft hand of fully equipped
maker can induce all these yards OF ma
plan, but when the plan Is successfully
impressed upon the material. the result
looks as surely the natural thing as n
successful design always does look.
This use Of material conforms to the
needs of gauze, chiffon, soft crepe, of
the more delicate silk crepons, to all
manner of soft and wash silks and to
some Of the more delicate cotton and
muslin goods
The skirt gored to the knee and
round from that point down is still
worn, a very thick ruching marking
the division line, and onesor two i'm.
ported dresses show such skirts with
the upper part Of matched plaid silk,
and the lower of a solid wool material,
the 'ruche being of silk of all the colors
found I'm the plaid. But as n rule what
ever divisions or breaks there are In
the skirt are made up and down. The
fashion that adapts itself delightfully."-
to make-overs Is that of the skirt open
In front to show an under petticoat Of
a contrasting color. vandykes are also
quite correct and two materials may
be used, the lower part of tho skirt be-
ing of one material divided into van
dykes that end at. the knee. The Sec
ond stun. which finishes the skirt to the
waist. shows above and between the
vandykes.

WATER lOCOMOTiON.

An Invention Which Enables One to
Pcrambulate on the Aqua.
A French inventor has recently
shown ut the Nouveau Cirque, says La
Nature, pair of shoes with which a
motion on water Is obtained similar In
every respect to walking. An enor-
nous ellipsoid frame Of thin wood
covered with rubber has rectangular
plate Of sheet-tin or aluminium at
tached to the fat base of the water
shoe. This plate acts like the fin of a
fish; when drawn forward, 1t bends to-
ward the bottom and encounters no re-
sistance. When pressure is brought
from above, the plate falls down and
the resistance Of the water is very
large. This is the principle motion, as

Driven wells are becoming omit

Driven wells are becoming quite pop
ular since the advent of machinery for
doing the work in an efficient manner
BY the use of these, large volumes Of
water are obtainable in places where
none could be procured before. These
wells are sunk about seventy five or
one hundred feet usually, and, with a
pipe Of from two to eight inches In d.
ameter, issue water in abundance, and
have proven very valuable to many a
mill. So varying are the conditions in
connection with locating driven well,
that costs cannot be given, but it lis
commonly estimated that about four
dollars per foot for six-inch pipe covers
expense.

The bill permitting the new Detroit
Railway Company to occupy the tracks
of the Citizens Company within certain
limits was favorably reported In the
House Wednesday, and, despite the deter
mined opposition of the representatives
Of the latter company, the final consid-
Grafton Of the bill was made the special
order for Thursday. Both companies
have maintained powerful and extensive
lobbies for weeks, and their presence has
practically demoralized legislation. 1t IL
desire to rid themselves of this lobby
that makes the legislators SO determined
to- dispose of the matter. The House has
killed the bill changing the county seat Of
Emmett County from Harbor Springs to
Petoskey. The bill providing that con-
vlcts in Jackson prison be employed Mt
diking the river in the vicinity of the
prison and improving the sewerage facili-
ties has been reported without recon-
mendation. Gov. Rich has appointed
Claude w. Case and Arthur A. Hender-
son, of Newberry; Henry w. Jones, Of
Houghton; George l.. Loupe, of Besse-
mer; Charles T. ,Fairburn, of Ishpeming,
and Theodore w. Burdick, of Sault Ste.
Merle, trustees of the Upper Peninsula
Asylum for the Insane.
After an all-day argument Thursday
In the House the bill permitting the joint
occupancy of street railway tracks In De-
troit was defeated. The bill was fur
Their buried by the failure of q motion to
reconsider the vote. The Senate Com
mittee on Liquor Traffic has reported q
substitute for the $500 uniform tax bill
which passed the House last week. The
substitute leaves the tax as fixed by the
House, but provides that the Common
Council of each city may decide whether
saloons shall remain open on secular holt
days. They are to be closed on all re-
llgious holidays. 1t is not believed that
the substitute will pass, there being only
sufficient votes to pass the original bill
The plan to do away with the homeo-
pathic school at the University Of. Mich
igan and re-establish it as q State sch99l
at Detroit seems to be making favorable
progress. The plan is to have the Legis-
lature appropriate $25, 900 for a college
at Detroit to be built on the Grace hos
pital lot, the trustees Of the hospital hav-
ing consented. There are to be FIVE scien-
tific chairs to be paid $1,000 each. 1t 10

the plan. The school ut Detroit Is to re-
main under control Of the university re-

The legislators Of Michigan got sniff
of warm spring air Friday morning, and
Immediately they adjourned until Tues
day, after the Senate had passed the bill
to prevent the taking of fish in any of the
inland waters of the State in any other
manner than by hook and line. The pos
session of fish caught by any other means
is made prima facie evidence of the yio-
lation of the laws.

small fitted panniers Of guipure. The
bodice has an 1880 yoke of guipure
with draped fronts that are gathered
into points at the collar. and the back
Is made to match, except that the pieces
are undraped. The full sleeve puffs
end In long lace cuffs.
But little short of marvel of con-
struction Is the skirt that follows in
the artists depletion. 1t is made with
a boxpleat in front with one at either
side, the sides are In three single pleats,
and the back is set in boxpleats to COR
respond with the front. Each box
pleat is gorcd to shape, all unnecessary
material Is cut away on the under side
and each boxpleat widens towards the
foot to suit the flare of the skirt. This
means transcendent skill on the part
of the cutter, and for the wearer that
serenity of mind that only clear con-
science can bring. Such skirt can
never make over into any other style
and that Is one thing that lends to the
wearer the lasting peace that very
long pOcketbOok devoted to the de-
mands Of dress permits. What IL such
a skirt is horribly heavy! Will not the
thought that each boxpleat appears to
be caught under buckle ut the waist

What II yards and yards of material
are necessary! Will not the fact that
the design necessitates the cutting Of
priceless lace for band on the hem
counteract that misery by greater
one, and the combination create perfect
happiness? To be sure!

world for skirt Of soft silk or any
delicate fluffy summer material. 1t Is
