A Show window Genius.
EWN
from the New York Sun.l

There are many women in New York
who are attracted to shop on the
strength of the show-windows only. 1t
is the knowledge of this fact that has
led one prominent uptown merchant to
hire at commanding salary an Amer
lean whose profession is shop-window
dressing, and whose business 1t is eve
ry seven days to think out something
new for the four great windows at his
disposal. His latest achievement has
brought Women all this week buzzing
about the vast plate-glass fronts. He
takes a set of corset forms, the stuffed
semblance of woman's shoulders,
waist and hips, selects the requisite
cloths and buttons and with pins deco
rates the forms in what seem to be the
most admirably trimmed and fitted
waists. In reality not an inch of the
cloth is cut, but is so deity turned,
twisted and folded and pinned that the
keenest-eyed woman is at first de-
ceived. Every day this man dresses
his forms anew, working out in folds
and pins the most daring feats of the
dressmaker's art, and, as one enthusi-
astic woman remarked. gives one
more ideas for ones new fall gowns
than all the fashion books published

FOR A SHORT CAMPAIGN.

The talk in favor of a short campaign
next year increases. One of the best
known campaign managers in the eoun-
try, thus stril1ingly sets forth one of
the evils of long campaign: The his
tory Of every presidential campaign
with which I have been connected is
this: At first we go in for organization,
for speakers, for demonstrations, for
clubs, paraphernalia, literature-a cam
paign of education and enthusiasm.
Presently we reach the end of our rope
in this line. Apparently we have done
everything that can be done. What
next? We can't sit still and be beaten.
The enemy is making great claims. We
must stir ourselves. We launch out
into the disreputable business of rails
| ing large sums of money with which to
buy up so-called workers, who are
principally strikers, scalawags and
| frauds. With short campaign I am
satisfied legitimate methods would alb
sorb our energies and there would be
much less temptation to enter the for
! bidding fields of venality and democrat
| ization.
| The Chicago Times-Herald has asked
the opinions of the leading business
men and Of the great trade papers of
| Chicago, representing vast business in
terests, on the subject Of the next presi-
Dental campaign. Without exception
| they declare in favor of the shortest
| possible time being devoted to it, They
see that other nations can dispose Of
| their electoral affairs easily and briefly,
with the least friction to business in
terests as in Great Britain and France,
and these level-headed business men
| cannot see why the American people
have to give over so much time to cleo
lions with the consequent loss of time
and money incident thereto. They
know that the long drawn out election
campaigns of the past are profitable
only to the political striker and worker,
and that his work tends only to cor
ruption and fraud.
1t is good plan to have a. full ex-
preston of opinion on this matter
There is no doubt that it will be all
practically one way, and it ought to
have weight with the politicians.

SELECTED!

Tt gives us uncommon pleasure to
learn, as we do from the esteemed Reg
lister, that site for the Lewis memorial
has actually been selected. 1t has been
going to be selected for so long that
some have thought there was danger
that it would always be going to be Sc
process of selection was begun are now
dead, and many who have lived through
it have had time to forget much of it.
But lit is enough to know that 1T is com
pleted. The end crowns the work, and
crowns 1T well and fittingly. The site
selected is in all respects suitable, and
the more the selection is considered the
wiser 1T will SEEM East Rock park is
already the chief glory of New Haven,
and as time goes on it will become more
and more glorious. 1t is and will be the
most appropriate place in the city for
memorials of those who have well serv-
ed the city, and it is to be hoped that.
there will in the course of time be many
memorials of such there.
How encoura ging it Is that Just at this
time 1T is made plain that the power of
selection is not extinct in New Haven

The skirt had ON each side panel of

had a short, full basque and was cut
out in q novel manner in front to admit
the insertion of a blue silk vest trim

In the matter of coats that are in
tended for protection against severe
cold, it is rtrnoned that wonen are go
ing to button themselves into great
Russian-cut overcoats of cloth, lined
throughout with costly fur and finished
with fur collar and cuffs. If this is so,
what's to- be done with all the lovely
fun capes invested i'm last season? They
certainly can't make over into Russian
great coats. Yet from this reflection
women should not despair, but comfort
themselves with the pleasing certainty
that lots of women won't button them
selves into such great coats, but will
wear pretty capes of American cut

a bank barn, has proved one of the
most profitable patches on his entire

inconsiderable item. Though gravel

Bishop Doane Measures the Results of
Women's Voting.
To-day, in the household, the man is
the voter. Suppose the wife becomes a
voter too. She will either reproduce
her husbands political views, and there
will be in one house two democratic
voters, and in another two republican
voters, where there has been one. And
this is no gain towards decision of
questions, writes Bishop Doane of Al
bany in the North American Review.
It is only multiplying of ballots, pro-
ducing no change of results. Or else
the wife would take the opposite side
from her husbands and, instantly, with
all the heat and violence of party diff
ferences and political disagreements, a
bone of contention is introduced into
the home; a new cause Of dissension
and alienation is added to the already

The people of London are dissatisfied

reason to be- OF fifty samples of ordi-
nary milk analysed twentyfour were
found sophisticated by the addition of
water or by THE abstraction of fat by
Separation That is, nearly half of
the samples examined were of a lower
standard than the lowest it is possible
to accept as the milk of a healthy or
properly fed COW. Twenty-eight per
cent. of the samples examined had been
tempered with by the addition of pre-
servatives, such as boric acid. Also,
the milk is not kept lin places conducive
to health, and collects germs injurious

seventeen brands of that were found to
contain exceedingly low percentages of
fat-so low as ito be negative quantities,
so far as value to the consumer is con-
eerned.

1t has been supposed that the price of
wheat during the last few years didn't
leave much profit for the poor farmer.
An Indiana farmer has been setting a
useful example by keeping a strict ac-
count of all expenses for preparing the
ground, cutting, threshlng and deliver
ing his wheat, and finds the cost to be
15h cents a bushel. Perhaps this is
better than most farmers could do, but
it shows that western farmers are not
selling wheat at a loss if they get forty
or even thirty cents a bushel for it.

The great pyramid of Ghizeh is the
largest structure of any kind ever
erected by the hand of man. Its origi-
nal dimensions at the base were 764
feet square, and it's perpendicular
height in the highest point ASS feet; it
covers four acres, one rood, and twenty
two perches of ground and has been es-
timated by an eminent English archi-
tect to have cost not less than ESQ 0000,-
600, which in the United States cur
rency would be about $145, 200, 900. In
ternal evidence proves that the great
pyramid was begun about the year 2170
b. c., about the time of the birth of
Abraham. 1t is estimated that about
100000 tons of hewn stone were used
in its construction, and the evidence
points to the fact that these stones
were brought a distance of about zoo
miles from quarries in Arabia.

adjusts his appetite and the thoughts
of his dyspepsia to the things on the
bill that agree with him, and he really
lives very temperately. On the Euro
pean plan at first his inborn economy
causes him to live in a very narrow
way, and after awhile there comes a
revolt, and he regards himself as on a
prolonged spree and becomes dissi-
pated Instead of gratifying his appe-
tite, he is gratifying his vanity for the
benefit of the people who sit at the same
table, and in a loud voice gives an ex-
travagant order. Two things happen
to him-he gets dyspepsia, and the me-
talic flavor of the things he does eat
has the same effect on his digestive
works as an oyster shell. l know of a
dozen families that live abroad who
need not consider what anything costs.

The Statue of Liberty.

Liberty" Bartholdis statue, pre-
sented to the United States by the
French people in 1885, is the largest
statue ever built. It's conception is
due to the great French sculptor whose
name it bears. 1t is said to be a like
ness of his mother. Eight years of time
were consumed in the construction of
this gigantic brazen image. Its weight
is 100000 pounds, of which LAG, 900 pounds
are copper, the remainder iron and
steel. The major part of the iron and
steel was used in constructing the
skeleton framework for the inside. The
mammoth electric light held in the
hand of the giantess is 305 feet above
tide-water. The height of the figure is
1929 feet; the pedestal 81 feet, and the
foundation 50 feet and 10 inches. Forty
persons can find standing room within
the mighty head, which is 141a feet in
diameter. A siX-foot man standing on
the lower lip could hardly reach the
eyes. The index finger is eight feet in
length and the nose 394 feet.

done. Far from II! 1t prevails every
where, and the idea has Its artistic eX-
cuse. The object is to concentrate all
attention on the beauty of the wom-
an and of the toilet above the waist.
After fashion has allowed and en-
couraged this trick-as by the wear OF
hoops-the present method is surely the
better The skirt is almost invariably
of crepon, silk crepon sharing humbly
with wool crepon the measure of popu-
larity allowed to the weave. For the
demi-train and the swirling skirt satin
is more approved. A velvet skirt Is
very rarely seen unless skirt and bodice
are matched. A soft bag-like vest in
the front of gowns is much favored
accessory. Satin is the usual material,
but crepon, crepe, chiffon, lace, SILK,
brocade and velvet are all permissible.
White seems at present to be the only
color used, no matter what the shade
or material of the bodice or the occa-
sion for its wear.

are full sprays of vari-colored chrysan-
themums. These rhinestone buckles and
ornaments are still quite correct. In

cious mixing of paste with the real. So
long as she resists the impulse to pass
very big mock stones for diamonds she
may be suspected by her dearest
friend without being caught. The friv-
olous child of operate or theatric for
tune who astonishes her public by a
display of all her jewels at once sets
the fashion for many society danes
whose own good taste does not forbid,
and now it is more usual than it should
be for a woman attired in high-necked

make her gown a blaze of gems. 1t is
especially the fashion to follow the line
of an imaginary cut-out with a gilt
