THE DETENTION PEN.

will take the coins from the immi-
grants hand and explain the value OF
each as he drops it back again. 1t is
wasted time, however, as the owner OF
the money is left in as bad condition
of dense ignorance as ever.
Money will buy things on Ellis
Island and the proprietors of the
lunch counters, where bologna and
bread appear to be the staple articles
of food, are at liberty now to charge
on the mob made hungry by the long
wait in the lines. The scouts for
these lunch counters are indefatiga-
BILE workers and certainly earn their
money. The wonder is, from the way
in which the immigrants are almost
dragged to the bologna counters, that
some one does not get hurt in the
scrimmage. If the greenhorn gets
through the experience all right and
survives the bologna, let him brace up
to resist the onslaught of the railroad
agents, who will bear him off bodily if
he does not keep a sharp look out.
In this neutral ground at Ellis
Island the scene on busy day is be-
wildering and distracting. The Off
cials do their best to keep the mixed
mass of humanity in something like
order, but with SO many nationalities,
with excited men aud women rushing
around looking for their baggage and
for each other, children crying and
relatives and friends all chorusing a
welcome together in various Ian
guages, it is no wonder that the scene
looks like pocket edition OF pande-
monium.

A new style of bodice has appeared
for the evening. This is slashsi

light thin material and in a different
color. Some of these elegant blouses
are trimmed round the slashings with
tiny buttons, beaded bordering, or
passemeterie, and the chiffon, lawn o.
lace of the underblouse pufs out
through the openings.
Dark woolen dresses are made up IN
the same way, only TINT the founda.

silk, and the slashes trimmed with
black or dark braid set on plain, MS
also in a small fancy design; indeed,
the idea is excellent for remodetlaS
corsages of oil kinds to be worn With
plain skirts.
Eton jackets have made way for the
half-wide-open jacket with small
pockets, and close-ftting backs fin
ished off with very short circular
basque, the top of the shoulder being
cut out in q long or rather epaulet
point.
A dainty model of this kind has the
back and epaulets made entirely OF
one piece stretched across.
Another palmer jacket is embroid'
cred except the sleeves with cord OF o
dark color sewn on in close rows on
one side, and the hem Of the skirt or
namented to answer with border La
trecque.
The fashionable skirts which are
cut so immensely wide are beginning
to lose their plain appearance, the
hem is stitched out two or three times
with silk in contrasting color, or a
border answering the trimming on
the bodice is worked in chain and
fancy stitches hallway up to the knee.
The skirts of handsome walking
costumes are also trimmed to match
the broad pointed epaulets and lower
tight-ftting part of the sleeve. A
pretty costume for young married
ladies to be worn in the country is
made of dark cloth, and has tue skirt
and loose, double-breasted jacket
ornamented with appliques of light
cloth of the same color.

Harper's Weekly observes: A CON.

Harper's Weekly observes: A con-
temporary newspaper is greatly
shocked by the remark of DR.. Bach,
Of the Medico-Legal Society, that
physicians sometimes administer
drugs to end the agony of patient.
It wonders what reply a trustworthy,
honorable and law-abiding physician
would make to DR.. Bach's statement.
The chances are that physician Of
the sort specified would make no re.
ply at all. The statement being true,
il was injudicious enough to make it
at public meeting, without confirm
ing il afterwards. To confirm the
truth of it by the testimony of physi-
clans might interest newspaper, but
there would be no attraction in it for
the physicians. 1t is as reasonable to
suppose that some physicians some
times give drugs to end suffering as it
is to believe tba. they do not tattle
oyermuch about it afterwards.

Il. NJ. Stanley's maiden speech in
the British House of Commons is de-
scribed as delivered with easy conf
dence and as evidently unprepared; /;
his smile was pleasant, the tinge Of
Americanism in his accent threw his
individuality into sort of relief, while
his quietly assured self-confdence in
terested the members. On the other
hand, his own party journals, while
admitting that his manner was excel
lent, say the matter of his speech was
not iuaiciously chosen for the reason
that he managed to offend the imper-
ialists, who desire to reconquer the
Soudan, and those who wish to evacu.

weakness to the empire.

The first stage through which the
new arrivals pass is the scrutiny ol

Through these fenced avenues the
unfortunate steerage passengers,
wearing every variety of eccentric
and un-American head-gear, and car
rying as much portable baggage as
they can stagger under, edge their
way along foot by foot in the direc-
tion of the gate Of hope through
which alone they csn get to liberty.
The procession slouches forward at

laborious attempts of the uniformed

and parcntage, etc.
Fortunately the official speaks an
almost infinite variety of languages or
the task he has in hand would be
we'll nigh hopeless one. AS it is, ow.
ing to the nervous condition OF the
immigrant, it usually takes an almost
interminably long time to drag out
an answer to the simplest question.
Everything has to bo repeated several
times and explained in the minutest
detail and then occasionally the ques-
toner has to give it up and turn the
obtuse foreigner over to an assistant.

Never run young foxes i; you want
them TO be long runners. Il you Z,
into a locality II which foxes have
never been chased you will ini that
