other way around. Why? Because
exquisite dressers are doing SO, and II
that isn't good enough reason, go
ahead and plan hat and dress to suit
yourself. But If you happen to have
blue hat and green dress, or the re-
verse, you can take advantage Of this
dictum, combine the same and In a

real value of fashion to, as it were,
endow the private "fake" Of the wise

tiplication of the same flake" by a
noted originator.
Such DEGREES as to the colors to be
worn are followed easily enough, but
when the designer INDUCES his fancy
freely in the manner Of cut, the rule is
not easily followed. Thus, the dress
maker who planned the first pictured
gown must have had in mind fine
pair of shoulders, for it is but ill-lined
with anything else, and the style Of
sleeves starting low on the arm should
be avoided by slender women. Given
the proper figure, however, and such
dresses will bear distinct character
that Is well worth attaining. This one

collar band. Each battlement is edged
with spangles and wired to stand in
place. Beneath 1t Is worn a folded
band Of muslin that shows between the
edges of the battlements. This Is a

the woman who has the misfortune to
have too slenderla neck may be glad to
avail herself Of it.. 1Go
An elaborate accessory that trans
forms n simple bodice'to something ex-
tremely dressy is accomplished by
means Of pointed yoke of heavy lace
that has great paste jewels set in the
conspicuous circles of it's design. This
yoke Is finished with point under the
chin and extending to the bust line,
with point out over each shoulder and
with one in the small of the back. A
pair of wide epaulettes are set under
the shoulder points, extend well out
over the sleeves and are so long from
front to back that the points Of the yoke
set prettily between the edges Of the
epaulettes. Just from beneath this
point of contact between the epaulette
and yoke edges appear two straps Of
the heavily jeweled lace. These hang
to the belt, over which they are well
bloused and under which they disap-
pear. The straps corresponding in the
back are crossed and drawn tight. The
belt Is Of close drawn folds Of velvet
and the collar of the pointed yoke is
made of folded velvet to correspond,
the shade being Of the deepest tone in
the jewels. Nothing could be more
swagger than the effect of this char
ness" as elaborate accessories are be-
ing called, worn over bodice with
bloused front, the loose folds appear
ing between the jeweled straps. Such
an affair costs too much to think of at
the importers, but can be made effec-
lively for very little, and the money
and time are well expended.

Yale College Expenses.

The average expenses Of the students
at Yale College, according to the senior
class book, are 1912 for the freshman
year, $943 for the sophomore, $042 each
for the junior and senior years. There
are many students whose expenses are
much less than these amounts, but there
are many others whose expenses are
much more, to raise the average to more
than the earning capacity Of the aver
age graduate for several years at least
after he leaves college. These figures
would require an earning capacity of
from SIS to $40 week, or more than So
a day for the six working days of the
week. How many college graduates
can secure positions where they will
earn $40 a week?

SnecuIafora In II

Representatives of the Louisiana sugar
planters who are to appear before the
Comptroller of the Treasury at the hear
ing upon the validity Of the claims for
sugar bounty, assert that most Of these
claims have passed out of the hands Of
the sugar growers and are now the prop
erty of innocent holders. Not a few of
the claims, 1t Is said, are in the hands of
manufacturers and dealers Of machin-
cry in Chicago and elsewhere. What
Is regarded as more probable by officers
of the treasury Is that the most Of these
claims are held by spectators, who pur-
chased them at discount. Comptroller
Bowler informed the Louisiana Senators
that his reason for holding up the claims
was because Of the decision by the Court
Of Appeals Of the District of Columbia,
rendered in January, 1894, dismissing n
mandamus proceeding brought by the
Miles Manufacturing Company to compel
the Secretary Of the Treasury and Com
missioner of Internal Revenue to pay
sugar bounty for 1894. The mandamus
proceeding was dismissed by the court
on the ground that the Mckinley law,
giving the bounty, had been repealed by
the new tariff act of 1894. Subsequently,
Congress passed the special bounty bill
under which the claims before II estreas-
ury are now pending. The Louisiana
planters have engaged eminent counsel
and in case of an adverse decision from
the Treasury Department, will commence
mandamus proceeding to compel the
Secretary to pay the bounty.

The Japanese authorities are now in

stipulations in the peace treaty with

Viceroy Liu was secretly instructed to TO

the Upper Yang Use provinces were un-

hoped that aliens might be prevented
from availing themselves of the privi-
leges, but since the outrages have been re-

deavors to escape responsibility by de-
grading Liu and making him the scape-

A New Man.

A 77-year-old citizen of Great Falls,
Wash, is undergoing a peculiar pro.
cess Of physical regeneration. About
year ago he contracted pneumonia
and his life was for some time despair
ed of, the doctors saying his right lung
was hopelessly wasted. He recovered,
however, but when just able to hobble
around he fell and broke his thigh
bone, and was confined to the hospital
again for six months. Since leaving,
however, his physical condition has
improved remarkably. His lungs be-
gan to open up until they became al
most as well as ever; his skin shed off
and new skin grew, and his hair and
beard, which were a snow white, are
coming out a jet black. His limbs and
muscles have limbered up, and he
started a week or so since to take a
herd Of young horses across a long
trail to market. He says II he con-
tinues to grow young he will get mar
ried again and grow up with the coun.

town. 1t is large tiger-marked tom OF
pugnacious disposition and very 30.
hemian habits, and the doctor has
taught 1t to hold firecrackers in its
teeth while they are exploded. He says
1t took considerable patience to accom-
plish this result, but that now the cat
has become accustomed to the noise,
it comes and begs for firecrackers every
evening. DIR. Hopper, by the way, is

with Turpentine.
| II was into the small town Of New
nan. Georgia, several years ago, just
after the invention Of chemical hand
grenades for extinguishing fres, that
q young man strolled with valise full
Of these globes to sell to the good peo-
pie of the village. "Yes, SIR" he told the
crowd that gathered around him, "a
half q dozen Of these will put out .
whole house afire. The grandest In
vention of the age. In a few moments,
gentlemen, shall get numbers Of dry
goods boxes, set them afire, and then
show you the workings of this remark
able fire extinguisher" Now, New
nan Is famed the world over for the as
tuteness of Its practical jokers. The
valise had been left under q tree in
the public square while the drummer
went for the dry goods boxes. An idea
Of genius took possession Of some man
In the crowd. He whispered to a
friend, the friend laughed incontinently
and ran over to the drug store, coming
back presently with a four-gallon can
Of turpentine. The grenades were
snatched from the valise, uncorked,
and filed as fast as these wicked men
could pour the turpentine into them.
They had just completed their task
when the exhibitor returned on dray
piled high with shoe boxes.
"Now, gentlemen" he said with
busy air, 'just be patient and We'll start
the circus" 1t was difficult matter
for the crowd to be patient, but the ex-
hibitor came to the conclusion that
there never was such an interested
gathering.
The boxes were heaped high, straw
was piled about them, and the hand
grenade man wiped his brow Of the
dampness Of ardor and touched
match.
NO." he said, mot yet. Wait till she
gets little higher. want to give you
O good test"
'Now, look out, everybody" he shout
ed, taking up one Of the grenades and
hurting it into the midst of the seething
flames. 1t struck, broke, and a great
flame shot up twenty feet into the air.
That's the way she acts sometimes"
said the fire extinguisher. "It generally
takes three or four"
With that he seized half dozen and
hurled them In quick succession into the
fire. Seldom, IL ever, was there so
large and well fed conflagration. The
exhibitor, In frenzy, threw his entire
stock into the midst Of the boxes, and
when he had completed the task and
stood pale, chagrined and aghast, a
great shout went up from the Newman
ties, and one of the best practical jokes
for which the town is famous had been
successfully performed. Shortly after
this an interview took place between
the drummer and his firm. The drum
mer told the firm candidly that he did
not propose to work for set Of damned
rascals; the firm told the drummer that
he was poor fool-and the drummer
took up other lines Of goods.
