Somen would not take the trouble
and worry that they now do to pro-
vide fresh costumes for all seasons;
but this thing which We call fashion
demands novelty and variety, and to
meet its requirements manufactures
and trade are ever kept active.
Within reasonable limits, therefore,
fashion, as we now use the term,
means business prosperity and gainful
occupations to the many. 1t would
be good idea to elevate the literature
of fashion to its proper plane and do
away with much of the Stiffness and
frippery that characterize it.
The styles for spring are already
shown, and it is safe to say that the
models presented will furnish types
for warm weather wear. The changes
in dresses are not very marked; the
plain skirt with the usual shape is an
accepted standard. Skirts are as long
as is comfortable or convenient, but
as has been said before, they are quite
as we'll liked, because even though
they are somewhat shorter, they are
bound to cut off at the edges unless
they are slightly raised.
It is curious fact that many of the
very best dressed women insist on
these long skirts, but always raise them
little when on the street. This has
hygienic points and daintiness to COM
mend it. Dragged skirts do not be-
come gentlewoman, and it is impos-
sible to walk for any distance without
soiling the binding if the skirt is al
lowed to swing.
A new street dress is made with the
usual faring skirt, without trimming,
except graduated band of velvet at
either side of the belt. This velvet is
dotted with rosettes of satin ribbon.
A velvet belt with satin rosettes,
revers of velvet, with rosettes at the
shoulders and velvet and satin ro-
settes at the elbows where the sleeves
droop over, form the finish. The vest
is of shirred silk, matching the dress
in color.
Among the new ideas in the making
of skirts are trimmings of narrow side
plating, such as were in great demand
ten or twelve years ago. The fabric is
hemmed and closely pressed, and
single row of plating, with heading
of narrow gimp or ribbon plating,
will be popular fashion for dresses
for all occasions.
An attractive skirt has o very mar
row side-plaited ruffle, headed With a
fiat gallon stitched down very closely.
Above this is little ruffle made of
strips of silk about two inches vide.
This is gathered or box-plaited in the
middle, and is set on in scallops about
half the size of a coffee saucer. At
each point there is rosette of passe-
menterie, with tassel made of fringes
of silk and beads. This ia dressy, and
makes simple and inexpensive finish
for afternoon dresses.
While there is a good deal of talk
about skirts that measure eight or
nine yards around, it is scarcely
necessary to say that it is only occa.
sionally that one sees them. They
are monstrosities, designed only to use
up material and furnish work at some
future time when one is obliged to rip
them to pieces, after trying IN van to
get some comfort out of such mass
of material.

NOvel.Writing Under Difficulties.

Cesare Cantie, who died at Milan,
Italy, recently, ninety-two years old,
was the author of colossal "Univer-
sal History" and of novel, well
known and still popular in Italy,
whose title is ''Margherita Pusterla. +"
This story he wrote when in prison
for political offense in 1884. He
wrote it on pieces of torn paper, such
as he could procure, with toothpick
and ink made from the snuff of can-
die, which he diluted with cesspool
water. The work is a monument of
indefatigable industry. he was a
native of Brivio, in the Province of
Como.-New York Times.

watery fluid, and the burning
and itching would drive her nearly wild.
Unless we encased her little hands she
would tear patches Of skin from her face
and hands. We tried many doctors and
many remedies and at last gave the case
up as hopeless. But our daughter Cora
tried Hoods Sarsaparilla, to cure scrof-
ulous lump near the left breast which
caused her much pain and after taking
bottles it disappeared. Blanche, who is
now eleven, had spent seven years ofsuf-
fering, 80 concluded to give her Hoods
Sarsaparilla. She took bottles and her
face is smooth and soft as baby's, the
color of rose petal. Her hands are soft
and white. where four months ago they
were blue and red and calloused nearly
like leather. / cannot express my

Is certain indication Of impure and impov-
erished blood. If your blood could al
ways be rich and pure, full OF the red
corpuscles upon which its vitality de-
pends, you would never be weak, or
Nervous! Boils, pimples, scrofula, salt
rheum, would never trouble you. But
our mode Of living, shut in all winter in
poorly ventilated homes and shops, de-
pletes the blood and there is loss of appe-
tite and weakness. Hoods Sarsaparilla
is the standard remedy for this condition.
1t puriies, vitalizes and enriches the
blood, overcomes that tired feeling,
builds up the nerves and gives perfect
health. Read this:

The Square-MOuthed Rhinoceros.

A specimen of the white or square.
mouthed rhinoceros, practically ex-
tinct mammal, shot in Zululand, has
just been brought to London, and is
now being modelled by Rowland Ward.
One of the reasons which have led to
the near extinction OF this pachyderm
is that the natives of Southeast Africa,
owing to the exceptional quality of
the meat, slaughtered them in large
numbers. In Gordon Cummings
time they we're common, but in the
near future few stuffed specimens
will be all that will be left OF this gi-
gantic beast, which is second in size

engineer appears to me to be folly, AT
tho present time the profession Of elec-
trical engineering Is woefully over
crowded; although there is room on top
for properly trained electrical engineers
who are thoroughly trained mechanical
ones, In my Judgment mining engineer
Ing now offers one OF the best fields for
any industrially inclined young man.
The reason for this is the especially
broad and varied training man obtains
in his preparation for this profession
The object CT the training Is to teach
man to aid in the development OF the
mineral wealth Of the country In doing
this the student is distracted how to ex-
pore the field and forest. to know the
valuable aud useful minerals and rocks,
and to distinguish them fram those that
are not useful, 10 understand the geo
logical principles that govern the forma-
tion and association of all useful mineral
deposits and TO be able to approximately
estimate their value: to survey aad lay
out the property FOR opening, and TO
map 1t accurately; to design o. select the
hoistipg trans portatIOn. power aud

the methods Of mining or quarrying the

stand the strength and properties OF

methods Of generating aud using steam,
the care Of boilers, engines aud pumps.

select the methods of handling any ore
to dress and concentrate it. to under
stand It's constitution. and TO choose the
metallurgical PROCESSES by which it
should be treated; % be- convel sant with
the methods OF keeping the accounts
and books relating 20 mines making
the purchases, seiling tue products, etc
Such training as this makes u man
not only useful about any part OF the

it also makes him valuable IL almost
