sign for the voyage, The suit In ques-
ton is that by which four alleged mutt
neers of the Arago, who are now in the
Alameda jail, seek their liberty on the
ground that they are imprisoned under
an old English law, copied almost bod
lily into the federal statutes in 1890, o
law which, 1t is alleged, Is contrary to
the genius OF American institutions and
to the whole spirit of modern civili&a-
ton. 1t involves the rights of masters
over servants, and back Of 1t is a cont
test between employers and employees,
a contest the result of which will settle
the status of nearly 100000 sailors in
America. The mutineers allege that
there is no validity nor justice in the
statute which confers on United States
marshals and other officers the right to
arrest them for refusing to do duty as
sailors, They allege that such a stat
ute is tyrannical and unjust, and that
1t is an unlawful discrimination against
one class OF the population-since men
in other gainful occupations cannot be
imprisoned, fined, impressed and coerc-
ed into service for failure to comply
with their contracts. The shippers, on
the contrary, allege that without some
such restraint as the law imposes ships
could not be sailed.

runs usually made by carriages, The
argument is that people who want to
travel several hundred miles will not
take a road carriage making fifteen
miles AN hour in preference to a steam
railroad train. Recent designs of cleo
trlo carriages are said to be adapted
to the conditions of short haul and max
imum comfort.
But whether petroleum or electricity
is to be the favorite motive power there
is no doubt that horseless carriages will
soon be no novelty in any civilized land.
AT first they will doubtless be so costly
that only the rich can afford to ride in
such chaises, but they will probably
soon be brought within the reach Of
people of moderate means.

OUR UNPRECEDENTED FRIENDS.
Long ago it was clearly foretold that
a reckless diminution Of the number Of
insect-eating birds must result in a
corresponding increase Of vegetatien-de-
stroying insects. Nature endeavors to
preserve a certain balance; when we
human beings insist upon tipping her
scale to suit ourselves we deserve pun
ishment for our meddlesomeness. And
the punishment is sure to come. Where
the forests are ruthlessly laid low there
follows the whirlwind or the flood :;
where the birds are massacred there
comes the all-devouring insect swarm,
and the crops are ruined and the trees
blighted.
Nature may push us in wrath but
she never fails to be just The penalty
IS always suited to the crime, but we
are too dense, generally speaking, to
connect the effect with the cause and
we bewail as mysterious dispensations
of Providence % the calamities which
we have brought down upon our own
heads. If our birds had been properly
protected we should not now be lament
ing over our stricken elms. All the
emulsions, and serapings, and sprayings
now, are but pitiful experiments as
compared with the effective energies of
the early bird. But we have not suf-
ficiently protected the birds. They have
been shot for food, for fun, and for
practice, and they have been shot and
shared by the hundreds of millions to
be worn as ornaments upon the bonnets
of women. AT one time from a single
village on Long Island, during a period
of only four months, 10000 dead birds
were supplied to New York dealers
These were for millinery purposes alone
A London dealer in birds, when the
fashion was at its height, received in
single consignment $4,000 dead hum
| ming birds. Another received at one
| time 10000 aquatic birds, and 300, 00C

HOLD Y0UR WHEAT, AGAIN.

Two or three years ago the cry Hold
your wheatr' went all over the western
wheat country. There is no way of
knowing how many held their wheat,
but it is certain that those who did
got less for it than they would have got
had they sold it when they were told
to hold it. Now, 1t is said, there is to
be another effort made to put the price
of wheat up by holding" wheat, 1t
appears that what is called "a triple al
lance" has been formed. This triple
alliance already includes about 100000
of the wheat growers of the two Da-
kotas and Minnesota, and more are
coming in, as rapidly as 100 agents can
take them in. There are about 100000
farmers in the three States and it is
hoped to soon have them all in 'the
triple alliance" A circular which has
been sent out says: If majority, or
even respectable minority, Of the farm
ers Of these three spring wheat States
will pledge themselves and keep it to
themselves to hold their wheat for 81 a
bushel they will get 81 a bushel. But
if the fact of an alliance leaks out
and the wheat gamblers get hold Of it,
prices will be depressed
The fact of an alliance has leaked
out, and it win now be interesting to
see what ''the wheat gamblers will
do. The situation is not as favorable for
depressing the price Of wheat as it was
when the other Hold your wheat" cry
went out, but the wheat gamblers have
many tricks and will perhaps be able to
hold their own in contest with ''the
triple alliance" BY the way, is not
this alliance something like the trusts
that are so feared and hated by the
wheat growers?

undesirable, the one whose description
follows is an exception because it
adapts itself so well to remodelling Of a
gown to whose front breadth some dis
figuring accident has fallen. Only its
front Is double, an apron piece a little
shorter than the skirt being set on over
the front breadth. Its joining with the
skirt proper is made as nearly invisible
as possible to well over the hips. Then
the apron piece is allowed to swing free
of the skirt. It's edge is bound with a
bright braid from the place where the
attachment to the skirt stops, a line Of
the same braid is carried down to the
side seam of the skirt and the edge of
apron part is attached to this
side seam by three or four dropping
straps of braid. The apron piece may
be of material contrasting with the rest
Of the skirt, and the injured part Of the
original skirt is thus concealed.
An adaptation Of the design meets
the difficulty Of a skirt with the back
badly frayed at the foot by the droop
a skirt will have there even when the
front may be all right. A short length
Of skirt material contrasting with the
skirt will combine and make a new eff
feet according to this model Make a
full back and attach tito the good front
Of the old skirt. The scant residue Of
the second material will make the short
apron front. which will fall over the
good front Of the first skirt

JUST WHAT 4 LETTER is.


An OHcial Definition From the Postofhce
Department.
A ruling was recently made by Post
master Coveney upon the question as
to what constitutes a letter ain it's usual
and ordinary form" and it has just
been confirmed by a communication
from washington, says the Boston
Transcript.
The ruling and its confirmation were
the outcome of a complaint recently
made to the postmaster by a gentleman
who desired to send through the mails
sealed roll properly stamped and
directed to the commissioner of patents
at ottawa, He said that the roll con-
tanned plans and drawings relative 10
a patent. He had offered this roll to a
clerk at the foreign window, and, fol-
lowing out the rules of the office, the
clerk refused to receive it,. When asked
for reasons he was referred to the post
master. Col. Coyeney gave Ia decision
to the effect that the term letter Is to
be construed to mean and embrace
sealed packages consisting of an en-
velope Of any size. but fiat, as Is the
usual letter. The objector did not think
| that this ruling and definition of a let
| ter was correct, and gave his opinion

| In the communication from Wash

| dent of foreign mails, says that the
| Canada office and this department
| concur in the opinion that the term

| is to be construed to embrace sealed

any size, but of its usual letter shape,

The horse has been pretty effectually
knocked out by electricity and the BIZ
cycle but there is more to come. In
vention has long been busy with the
question of horseless carriages. Elec-
tricity, steam, compressed air and the
mineral oils are all undergoing expert
mental tests. The horseless carriage
has almost ceased to be a novelty in
the neighborhood of Paris, which first
saw the development OF the velocipede,
which has reached it's present stage Of
improvement in the bicycle. The re
cent contest between horseless carriages
between Paris and Bordeaux has PROV
ed the most interesting event since the
invention of the pneumatic tire. Elec-
trio carriages with a speed of twelve
miles an hour, carrying two passengers,
are in the European market. Several
American firms are already nanufac-
turing horseless carriages for this
market. The Chicago Times-Herald has
offered S., 900 in prizes to be disposed of
as follows: The first prize Of $4,000 and
gold medal open to worldwide. com
petition for the best horseless carriage;
second prize of $1,000 for the next in
merit, with the stipulation that if the
first prize go to a vehicle of foreign in
vention or manufacture the second shall
be given to the most successful Ameri-
can competitor. A third prize of 81, 900
and a fourth prize of $500 in the order
of merit to be open to worldwide COM
petition. The London Engineer has
also offered similar prizes.
The most surprising result of the
recent trial of horseless carriages be-
| tween Bordeaux and Paris was the fail
| ure of the electrical vehicles. The first
| four vehicles to finish the long run were
all driven by petroleum, and ran through
practically without stopping, while the
steam and electrical carriages were
stopped continually either by accidents
or to secure more fuel or renewed
charges. The average speed of the win
ner was about fifteen miles an hour,
which was considered especially good
| because the course was very billy
| OF the electric carriages only one was
able to finish. 1t appears to be general
| ly admitted that electric vehicles cannot
be expected to do good work over long
distances. So says the Electrical En-
gineer, a technical journal which has
been strong advocate of electrically
propelled vehicles. Its conclusion is thai
for unusual distances the battery arr
motor are too heavy to be available
and 1t does not see how the weight car
be reduced more than a third, but il
does not admit the superiority of pc
troleum for the comparatively short

FASHION NOTES..
Helpful in Make-Over.

There is shown below a handsome in
door dress Of pink crepon figured with
pale and dark blue. Here the godet
skirt has unusual trimming, four wide
bands of ribbon and four looped-bows
upon it's sides and front. This ribbon
matches the dark blue of the dress goods
figure, and making the front pair of
bands shorter than the side ones is es-
sential to the effect, unimportant as 1t
may seem at first thought. The blouse
overhangs the belt in front, and at the
top there is tiny plastron of blue sat
in with draped collar to match. A huge
butterfly bow of the dress goods is
placed in front and is. tied with dark
blue. The later color, too, appears in
sleeves and belt.
