Odd Waists and Skirts.

AS odd waists and skirts are the
feature of the season new ideas in
bath are constantly cropping up,
writes Emma M. Hooper in the
February Ladies' Home Journal.
This style is now standard and will
continue for time indefnate. The
coming summer promises to be the
biggest cotton waist season yet
known. Now we are wearing
them of lace or net over silk:
chiffon, gauze or crepe over silk or
satin; velvet, the soft-fn1shed
Liberty satin, striped and figured
changeable taffetas and few
plaids in velvet and silk. All
colors and combinations are worn
an this useful garment. Sleeves
are to the wrist or elbow and very
large. Fancy collars and ribbon
belts are worn. Guipure lace
yokes and epaulette ruffles abound,
and in many instances a tiny fur
edglng finishes the lace trimming.
! Velvet and chiffon are combined
with any material. Jet and ribbon
are commonly used trimmings.
Some of the combinations are a
waist, velvet sleeves narrow belt
and collar and yoke of lace Van
dykes. Another has pink chiffon
over pink silk, with satin ribbon
bretelles and belt, and light green
velvet collar. Mink edges the
collar and outlines the bretettes
and belt Black chiffon, net or
gauze waists are made over colored
silk and trimmed with black satin
ribbons and colored velvet collar.
The waists are full in effect, though
made over a boned lining. Six
yards of silk are now allowed for a
waist and the same of chiffon.

"Reminiscences of Her Indom-

"Arisona has the only girl mining ex-

fannel-shirted miners at one dollar
apiece, she will make her locations and
begin mining as usual.
''She is a wonderfully plucky girl. 1t
Is about nine now since she first came
to Tucson. She was from Dodge City,
Kan, and could not have been more
chan seventeen years old. She got to
examining the ore as it came out of the
Tucson mines, and was soon as good a
fudge of its value as her brother Jim,
who was foreman and mineralOgist in
one of them The boys in the Tomb
stone locality soon began betting on
her Judgment, and found that she was
. wonderfully good guesser, and hit it
close about every time. Her fame
spread, and miners who, as you know,
are always superstitious, got an idea

Life in the French penal colony at
New Caledonia has been pictured as so
agreeable, both by reason of climate
as well as the leniency with which the
convicts have been treated, that trans
portatiOn seems to have lost most of its
terrOrs. Criminals do not conceal their
preference for long sentence in the
beautiful Pacific island to a much
shorter term with hard labor in one of
the penitentiaries at home, and when
perpetrating a misdeed have sought,
as rule, TO render their offense as
serious as possible, so as to entail
transportation if captured. 1t is with
view to putting an end to this senti-
ment that the French government has
now decided to stop sending convicts
to New Caledonia, and is making
arrangements to deport them instead

How 10 Play The Plano.

While students, of necessity, be-

Studies in the valuation of notes,
of rhythm, with little melodies for
recreation as we'll as instruction,
should be used in conjunction with

which are intended solely for the
purpose of acquiring independence
and strengthening of the fingers
AS they are uninteresting and tend
to destroy musical feeling it is
mistake to continue them for long
time with very young pupil with

they should, of course, be contin-

facility and perfecting of technique.

chords belonging to each. These

of a resolution for impeachment, which
Mr. Bailey, of Texas, had prepared to re-
port to the House, one will be presented

personal explanation to the committee of

he had handled as clerk of the court and

ton, and testimony given against him
by Martin w. Sanders, who mad been his
deputy clerk and succeeded to the clerk

which was of a bitter and acrimonious
character, changed the opinion of no mem

were ignored, as it had been expected they
