What Is japan Going to pog

The future Of American manufactures
is, according to all accounts, menaced
by Japanese agents who are bidding for
trade at prices far below anything thai
our own artisans can turn out.
They offer bicycles of the very best
grade at twelve dollars, matches at fig
ures that would shut down every match
factory in the United States; all sorts Of
wooden ware, including house-fttings
such as doors, sashes and blinds, are Of
fered at forty to fifty per cent less than
we can make them.
The agents Of Japanese factories have
placed immense orders in San Fran
cisco, and are coming East to bid for
trade in cities all the way from the Pa.
cific to the Atlantic They are able to
undersell everything in the market.
1t is well understood fact by ex-
perts in Japanese goods that their metal
is Of very high grade and that their
woodwork is accurate almost to perfec-
ton. 1t will be necessary for Congress
to take some stringent measures to shut
off this deluge of Japanese wares If our
own factories are to be able to continue
in business. This is a startling state
Of affairs, and one that demands the
immediate attention Of our law makers

Removing TIM and rreckles.

Mamie B. is little girl twelve years
old, who finds some tan and freckles
on her face, and wants the editor to
tell her how to remove them. Answer:
Tan and freckles are growth in the
skin, and are developed by light and
heat, principally by sunlight. Some
persons are much more troubled with
them than others. Delicate complex
ions are usually most susceptible. There
are several things that will remove
freckles, but they are not very safe to
NEEDLE with. Ten drops of carbolc
acid in thirty drops Of glycerine is said
to be good 1t must be applied only to
the dark spots 1t cures by burning
the skin, which afterward comes Off
leaving a mark that finally disappears
The best remedy for such annoyances
as tan and freckles is to wear hat or
sunbonnet, The spots frequently dis
appear in winter, and If one is careful
to keep the face shaded there will be
very little trouble Lemon juice some
times removes tan, and buttermilk is
said to be excellent for this purpose.

How things change with the times!
Not long ago it was the skirts which
bore all the extravagances Of decora-
ton, and now it is the bodice upon
which our Celebrations are put, This is
an outcome Of the bodice being worn
of different material from the skirt, and
is, after all, pretty fashion. An eX-
.ceedingly chic gown for afternoon wear
calling, the matinee, etc, is a mixture
Of rose color and black, full Of small
silver flecks and dashes. The skirt is
one of the nine-gored creations, with
multitude of Tapping godets, and beau
tifully fitted hips, the whole interlined
with fiber channels, and again with dull,
lead-colored tafleta. The bodice is a
small, round affair Of creamy white
broadcloth, fitting the form perfectly,
with a smooth fitting jacket of rich
black lace, in very heavy pattern, cut
away in graceful curves to simulate q
pretty yoke. An embroidered pattern
in gold sequns and tiny mock garnets
decorates this opening, making a very
rich effect ON the white groundwork.
The sleeves are especially smart with
enormous puffs directly at the Shout

made very short Jacket for the street,
with little fan plaitlngs in the back
that disclose the green lining The front

the seams are strapped to point just
below the waist line, The skirt Of
eight or nine cores may be strapped
down the seams or in two bands around
the foot. The silk waist is very full
blouse with tucked yoke front, turned
over collar, and bishop sleeves; bias
bands and bows of the silk are the only
trimming. The petticoat is made in the
way just described, and the lining Of the
cloth skirt has no balayeuse.

silk, all beautifully lined with squirrel
skins and wonderfully warm. The
monstrous sleeves are topped by fly
away capes of the silk, made double for
stiffness, and edged with silvery chin
chilla fur. The hat is an enormous one
of silky beaver in scarlet, trimmed with
lot of floating scarlet plumes. The
opera length stockings, worn by so
many of the little maids, are wonder
full protection from the cold, and a de-
Cided improvement to those which
merely covered the knees, leaving a
space between the little drawers and
stockings perfectly bare. Silk mittens
are almost universally worn, to the eX-
clusion of kid gloves, for mothers are
more sensible than they were few
years ago, and look very much to the
comfort of their little ones.

Among the many stories which arc
going the rounds concerning the Rev
Peter Mackenzie, who died the other
day is one which shows he was thor
ough believer in muscular Christianity.
Many years ago, after delivering lee
ture in q country village in the north,
he was returning to his hosts house
along lonely road, when he was ac-
costed by robber. The latter was a
believer in the right Of might, and re-
duested Mr.. Mckenzie to turn over all
the cash he had got. well, my dear
man." said Mr.. Mackenzie, you know
I'm big enough to thrash you. II it's
money you want, I'll give you half a
crown" The robber would not accept
this very charitable offer. Mr. Mac
kenzie "doffed' his coat and gave him
what the man is now pleased to call
"a dashed good hiding" That thrash
ing did the man a great service, for he
afterward left the paths Of vice and be-
came one of Mr.. Mackenzle's numerous
converts. Exchange.

ders, and loosely wrinkled lower arms
to the wrist, where a deep cuff Of lace
covered broadcloth, edged with Russian
lynx, turns back nearly to the elbow.
A flaring collar of the lynx sets up
smartly about the face. With this gown
was carried a huge muff of Russian
lynx, decorated with a huge bunch of
violets at one side. The hat worn with
it was extremely swell and very simple.
1t was broad of brim, haring up bit
at one side, and faced underneath with
shining black beaver. The outside felt
was dull, rosy-hued beaver. The
crown was artistically draped into the
form of roses, with rich Persian silk

Carriers are marvellous creations this
year. Unhyglenic persons who persist
in wearing the circular ones have regu-
lar CONNECTIONS" from which to choose.
Some are made of bands of elastic al
most covered by tiny rulIles of narrow
ribbon and butter-colored lace. An inch
wide piece of elastic will permit about
four outstanding frills of each, The
bow in the middle is made Of the lace
and ribbon.
Somewhat less befrilled are bands Of
elastic edged with narrow ribbon ruff
fles and fastened with bow and buckle.
The buckle may be Of any sort-gold,
silver, or studded with mock jewels.
The monogram of the owner is usually
engraved on the buckle. Some of the
garters are of elastic incased in a puff
fing of pOmpadour silk, and these are
particularly effective.

Tailor gowns are restored to much OF
their pristine importance now that
dressmakers as well as tailors con-
slider broadcloth the most fashionable
wooden fabric of the season. And the
tailors have made a new and charming
adjunct to the cloth gowns in a silken
petticoat matching the silk OF which
the only waist OF the dress is made,
and also matching the silk lining Of
the coat and skirt Of cloth. Such pretty
petticoats are a perfect comfort to
womanly women, who begin to fear that
this essentially feminine garment
would be gradually ousted by the much
talked of knickerbockers, riding tights,
etc. But it's frou-frou is too attractive
to be given up, and, moreover, the new
skirt has some new features, such as
long shallow scallops at the foot, to
make it fall in easily with the curved
folds of the cloth skirt and yet retain its
straight edge,
Altogether the abundance Of the gay
silk, usually in contrast to the color of
the cloth, greatly enhances the good
looks of the severe tailor-made gown.
At the top five breadths of taffeta are
gathered into yoke eight or ten inches
deep, doing away with all superfuous
fullness around the hips, and neatly
decorated with rows of feather stitch
ing. The foot is trimmed with two or
three narrow bias frills, pinked on one
edge and headed by an inch-wide ruche
pinked on both edges

investment as the safest means Of in
vestlng idle money. 1t does not al
ways bring a steady interest, but 1t is
less likely to depreciate in value than
stocks, which are always somewhat un-
certain. A woman with tact and ability
will be on the alert to learn Of a mort
gage about to be foreclosed. In such a
cases she should negotiate with the
owner Of the property, and give him
enough to clear his debt, thus saving
him the costs of a sale. Many woman
has proflted by an opportunity Of this
kind. OF course, IL woman has $500
cash and wishes to speculate she may
branch out more broadly and take
greater risks, with the prospect OF
greater returns. But she should bear
in mind that real estate is the collateral
to be preferred to all others"

Hans Boas of Kiel 1t is based on the
