4 Witty Jmhge.

The late Lord Bowen, besides being a great judge, was also a great wit and many Interesting bon-mots of his are being recalled just now, On the occasion of the Queens jubilee the judges were drawing up an address to the Queen, Conscious as we are of our shortcomings" ran the address; "conscious as We are of one another's shortcomings" suggested Lord Bowen.
 Sometimes his wit was very incisive, as, for instance, when he remarked: Truth will out-even in an affidavit" Not the least happy of his recorded Witticisms was the remark he made when congratulated on his appoint ment to be law lord, He would, he said, find the work easy, his duty be- ing to give his opinion after so many others had given theirs Tn fact I only have to agree, and might well have been raised to the peerage as Lord Concurry "

committee, To secure the cooperation of the churches on the Continent, the executive committee commissioned Dr. Darby, A recent letter from hjm to Dr. W, A. Campbell the chairman of the executive committee, reports grati- flying progress among the Protestant churches. Of more Importance though in Roman Catholic countries, Dr. Darby wrote, should be the effort to secure the cooperation of the Church, To this end he suggested that the aid of Car dIual Gibbons or of Cardinal Ireland should be obtained, The suggestion has been adopted, and the church dig nitaries named, with others, have been asked to further the work on the Con tinent It is expected that they will cheerfully aid, as the Columbia Con- grsss of the Catholic Church in the United States is one of the signatory bodies.

The bodice is of plaid velvet with a deep yoke of the plain velvet reaching to the belt in point and apparently extending into the skirts center panel. The fitted fronts of the plaid velvet are also adorned with plain tabs, belt and collar are from plain velvet, and the sleeves are entirely of the plaid. Plaided stuffs are now being used a great deal for schoolgirls costumes The skirts are made with great care to match the paidings, the bodice is of plain materi- al, with the plaid used for sleeves, per- haps, or for vest.
 A great many street gowns are com posed of black cloth, and coat of brown green or red with loose front of black satin, set on to outline yoke left of the cloth. Satin straps over the shoulders and out over the sleeves are added, and handsome buttons. The combination of black and green is es- pecially favored. Street gowns take capes of cloth to match, the cape being lined with fur or with wadding. This is one way out of the question of over garments. The cape should, of course. be planned to go satisfactorily with other dresses beside it's own

REPATRIATION

It is especially interesting and cheer ing at this time to read that the effort to combine the churches in a universal movement for the substitution of ar bitration for war in international dis pGtes is being prosecuted steadily. The churches are actively represented by an executive committee with headquarters in Richmond, Virginia. This commit tee aims to secure the concurrence of the churches of Christendom. through their representatives, in 6 petition ad- dressed to the governments Of thirty two Christian countries in their rs- spective language. The representative bodies of most of the churches ill the United States and Great Britain and Ireland. and few on the Continent of Europe, have concurred in the pe- tttion. and signed il. in lireas BrisaIu this result was accomplished chiefly by a cooperating committee. appointed b. the American mmjt5e-.

An analysis of the present population of Kansas by the secretary of the State board of agriculture shows that it con- tains a much smaller percentage of settlers coming in from other States than would naturally be supposed. Of the total population of 1,334,73S, nearly one half, or 529S65, are natives of the State. More than 90 per cent. of the inbabitants are American born, Illinois leading the list of States, contributing to the total with Ill, ,945 persons, while Ohio comes next with 90354.

The Pennsylvania dairy and food commission has been Investigating va rious things which the people buy teady-made and eat, and he has dis covered plenty of evidence of the prev aience of adulterated goods and also that many of the mixtures are of a harmless nature. He finds quantities of so-called jams upon the market which contain not even trace of the berries whose names appear on the neat little jars that ornament shop shelves. Lots Of strawberry and raspberry jam, it seems, is made out Of almost anything the adroit chemists ind cheap and handy. and then to please the eyes of customers and to give the finished product that fine, gravelly appearance which the real preserves always have, grass seed of the minuter kind is mixed with it iii generous quantities.

Character Gained by Stripes and rlaids.
 Striped goods made into skirts are SO full that the stripes make a series of triangles at each seam. with the most effect of radiation-like a rainbow made into bicycle and ridden ten miles an hour. 1t is these beauu- ful effects in striped and plaidad goods that have led the healers to devise wooden weaves in plaids that arc very handsome. The finish is soft and silky
 and the colors are as brilliant as those put into velvets. The latter, of course
 retain the palm for richness and dress mess, and are never so assertive of their being "of the quality" as when combined with plain velvet and cloth, as in the dress shown. Here the skirt is trimmed in front with three tabs of

One of the dolls sent to the annual doll show that General Felix Angus of Baltimore gets up for the poor children of his city just before Christmas came from Cleveland, where Mrs. Robert P. Potter, wife of the editor and tariff ex- pert, began a movement to provide the finest doll in the show. It is three feet tall and is modelled after the paint ing La Belle Chocolatier," which hangs in the Dresden Gallery. Among the women who supplied and worked on the clothing of the doll were Mrs. Car field, Mrs. John Sherman, Mrs. Bush nell, Mrs Mckinley, Mrs. James H. Hoyt and Miss Fannie Hayes, daugfl- ter of R. B. Hayes. Accompanying the doll was set of dishes for a chocolate set, so as to complete the resemblance to the painting.

On the 24th of next May the British Empire exposition, as it is called, an international display of all nations, is to open in Montreal, Canada, and the fair, once opened, is to continue until the 18th of the following October This is the first effort of this kind that has ever been made in the Dominion, and the attempt will be to make the fair one which will compare favorably, if not with great ambitious shows, such as those of Paris and Chicago, certain ly with such minor expositions as those which have recently been held in Ant werp, London, San Francisco and At lanta. The location chosen for the buildings, in the Mt Royal park, at the foot of the mountain, is one which has probably not been surpassed in nat ural attractions by any previous expo sition.

HIGH EXPLOSIVES.
Each Great Nation Has One and ExperI-
nients with It Secretly.

Each Great Nation Has One and Experl-
naeuts with It Secretly
Every great power has its own special
high explosive with which its shells are
filled. ALI the high power explosives,
however, are in more or less expert
mental stage, ana wet gun cotton is
the material upon which most reliance
is placed, says the New York World.
There is no doubt of the efficacy of
the tremendously. powerful explosives
which have recently been invented, so
long as they can be exploded among
the enemy. When subjected to the
enormous impact which is necessary to
obtain the required velocity of two
thousand feet per second, or there
abouts, they are almost as likely to ex-
plode before leaving the gun as after
ward. If this difficulty is overcome the
next question is to prevent the shell
from exploding before penetrating the
object which it is fired.
The French pin their faith to melin-
ite, which has been very thoroughly
tested. Shells filed with this compost
ton have been fired through ten inches
of armor without exploding. The shells
In this instance left the guns muzzle
with a velocity of two thousand feet
per second. The English are doubtful
of the safety of melinite and use COM
position called lyddite, It gets it's name
from Lydde, in Wales, where it is man
ufactured. The lyddite shells have
been successfully fred through FIVE
inches of armor.
Ecrasite is used by Austria. It's COM
position is a secret l-nown only to the
two inventors, who are Austrians. This
explosive has been found to have es-
pecial destructive power when used
against earthworks.
Sweden has decided upon the inven-
ton of a Swede, which is called bellite.
While it has not as much explosive
force as many of the other compost
tions, yet it is claimed TO be more stable.
Its powers of preservation are also
much greater. The United States has
been making exhaustive trials of a gun
cotton known as emmenrite. The air
guns of the Vesuvius were designed for
discharging emmenrite shells, but they
did not prove satisfactory. Recently
cmmenrite has been successfully fred
from a high-power gun with a velocity
of over two thousand feet.

The Japs. "a Jokars.

D The japanese are very polite peo-
pie, but they sometimes like to play
joke, in q roundabout oriental way,
upon the men of the west. In the days
of the Second empire, Baron Gros was
sent to Japan to demand the opening
of certain ports to French commerce.
Among the rest he named to the jap
anese ministers certain city. The
Japanese functionaries smiled so broad
ly when he preferred the request that
the French ambassador asked them to
tell him what gave them so much
amusement; but instead of answering
the Japanese ministers said:
eve will open the port in question,
my lord, if France in her turn will open
a certain port to u.s."
: 'What port is that?" asked the
Frenchman.
1.-THE port of Liverpool"
s'But, your excellencies" Qaughing),
"Liverpool is not a French port, but an
English one"
Eyes," answered the japanese, "and
the port you named is not in Japan,
but in Korea"
The French ambassador was COM
PEELED to admit that the joke was
against him.
