aIohair Pettlcoats,

Mohalr pettlcoats are to be offered in bright colors, making an excellent sub stitute for silk. These garments will be finished with the same care bestowed on silk, and may be worn whenever silk conld. Are they quite as nieef We'll, there are the crinkle and crunch of silk to be considered, and for the sake of that magic accompaniment of crushy frou frou to cur movements women will pay if they can and wear a material that is short lived at best. Still, some wise ones will go in for mohair petti- coats and content themselves with one silk one. Tor street wear and with tailor dresses surely the mohair is the better selection. Made with umbrella fullness and finished with a fall ruifIe edged with rows of velvet of a shade little darker than the stuff itself, or with a contrasting black, the general effect is almost as pretty as silk, and since mo- hair will wash and does not fray like silk the former petticoat will hold it's prettiness. Billiard green, silver gray, striped and dresden effects, black, white, blue and pink will all bG offered.
 This cheapening of quality will not at first bring a corresponding reduction ill outlay, though that will come later if these petticoats win general accept anee. No general tendency toward econ omy can be reported inside dress skirts, and outside the leaning is ill favor of showiuess. skirts are being trimmed more and more. Few have any great amount Of trimming, but great many have just enough to mark them as a de- parture from the late lamented plain skirt. Philadelphia Telegraph

The Cradle Disappearing.

Tie cradle, familiar through cen- turiea, is giving way to the crib, and e1ihs of iren and brass are taking the place of wooden cribs At ene large furniture establishment cradles were not kept at all. It sold only cribs. At other places the sale of cribs greatly ex- ceeded that of cradles.
 Of the cradles now sold only the cheapest are made to rock ell rockers ill the old fashioned way. By far the greater number swing between stand ards. There are now made, however, cradles that rock Oil platform rockers, like those Of the modern platform rock ing chair.
 Various reasons are assigned for the The crib takes up less room and is less in the way than the cradle, with its rockers. It is better for the child and 1t makes less work for the mother. Ac- customed to crib, the child is put to sleep there with much less care and la bor. The modern baby carriage, vastly more comfortable and convenient than the old time baby carriage, has in some degree taken inc place of the cradle.
 Taking them altogether there are still seIa many cradles, but the number sold as compared with the number of cribs is very small Nowadays the child is laid ill its crib. The cradle, time honored aud with memories clustering around it, is disappearing. New York Sun.

All Are Equally Affected.

E There is just one of all the varied de-
 partments of life that men have tried to
 eonduct entirely by themselves, and that is the department of politics What is
 the result? It is ill such a state that they are positively afraid to let respect able women enter 1t. Now, if political opnditions affected only the men them selves we might be tempted to let them pay the penalty of their own neglect and mismanagement, but every evil in the body polite affects directly the wo- Hen, the children, the home, the whole )pcial organization We are so thorough n conscious of our own strength and htegrity that we cannot be frightened by all the eliminating things men say about themselves and their political do lnain. It will be remembered that the Esmous pool of Bible history had no healing qualities until an angel stepped Down and touched the waters. It is kbout time that the waters of the pool M politics responded to 8 purifying
 ouch. We decline to believe that men ne as bad as they paint themselves, but Il they are one-half as bad, then they are not good enough to repre- ent women, and the latter are justified p demanding that they be allowed to Rpresent themselves. Ida A. Harper

Around the World In Thirty Days.

Perhaps you've never read Jules Verne's thrilling story Around the World In Eighty Days . When it was written, the author thought he was tell ing very big story, indeed, and so did evory one else. The idea, said his read CTS, of travelling %, 900 miles in 80 daysl Preposterousl
 But since then many travellers have made the trip ill less time, and within the next four years any boy or girl will be able to make it in 30 days. For in the year 1900 the Russians will com plete their famous Transsiberian rail road, which connects Europe with the Pacific coast of Asia. Starting from New York, the tr,veler may then cross the Atlantic ocean to the coast of France. Here he may take train which will whirl him over Europe and Asia and put him down at a Pacific port. From this point he may ship to San Francisco and catch a train for New York. It is calculated that the fare for the trip will not be more than $500 or $4o0.
 If this railroad building keeps on, there will soon be no parts of tho world left for our boys to explore. Chicago Record.

 For Wearing Qualities.

One often hesitates over new gown which must be worn as what is known as "a back suit, while considering its possibilities of wear. A broken plaid is excellent fer not showing soil, and a cheviot wears like iron, as does dark gray flannel of good quality The al- ways popular blue serge never lasts very well. but black or blue mohair brillian- tine is excellence itself. It shakes off the dust, it does not wrinkle badly and it always has a dressed up appearance, which is sometimes one of the greatest of considerations.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
YOUNGEST COLONEL.
How Harry MuIIigan of Louisville Won
 This Distinction,

How Harry MuIligan of Louisville Won
 This Distinction.
 The youngest colonel in America lives in Louisville Little Harry Mulligan is only l3 years old, but he is full hedged colonel and is attached to the staff of Governor Bradley of Kentucky. It is the first time in the history of any state of the nation when circumstances might be such that 6 child could off cially represent the governor of com monwealth, and no man five times his age could deny his right to do so. If the governor of the state of Kentucky and the lieutenant governor and half dozen other functionaries became suddenly i'll at the same time the duty of officially representing the governor would fall upon America's youngest colonel, who Is member of the official state family.
 No one to see him would imagine the gallant way in which he can don his gay uniform and add dignity and grace to the public appearance of the chief magistrate of the state.
 He was born i'll Ottawa, Canada, both his father and mother being Canadians. He went to Louisville with his parents in the fall of 1888, and ever since that time his father, who is popularly known as Tom Mulligan, has been connected with the management of the Louisville hotel
 In this way young Harry Mulligan came to know every politician of any prominence in tho Blue Grass State, and during the last gubernatorial campaign he was as well posted on the candidates and their chances for and against elec-

New Style of Pressing the Hair.

Writing on dressing the hair, Isabel A. Mallon, ill Ladies Home Journal, says that "a pretty and absolutely new eoiffure is the one that, while it rather gives the blouse effect, really consists of three deep waves that turn back and which are of course made by the iron. At the back the hair is arranged in q double eight twist that shows well at the sides, but does not rise above the top of the head. Women who have very little hair can tie it close to the head, fasten the switch on by q string drawn through it's loop, which is the best way, and then, pinning down their own hair close to the head, arrange the switch to form the double eight Elderly ladies. especially those whose hair has grown entirely white, wear 1t oftenest in q pompadour roll, which requires small pad under it, and then ill the back have a plaited switch carefully pinned to the hair in a looplike fashion. Many ladies who have reached middle age or passed it adhere to the coiffure selected as be- coming when they were young, and 1t must be confessed that there is q certain dignity about this, ''

 sasien is more difficult to color artis- |Ieally than floral. but when the true sxe for color undertakes it the effect is
 nost pleasing and lasting. The roeoco apsign in connection with the floral is sfill very popular. Occasionally one hears that such and such design is out of fashion, and there follows a descrip- ton of some perhaps truly inartistic fbing which will supersede it. One needs to beware of such announcements, ssor true art in all it's notifications is not ephemeral. It has stood the test of ages and will ever stand.

tion as was any working politician. He is naturally quiet; but, like all quiet boys, he listens to all that is going on around him and hears great deal.
 It was this faculty which was the di- rect cause of his military appointment. Among his other political friends was the governor of Kentucky, who was often q guest at the Louisville hotel. Often i'll the hotel corridors political discussions waxed warm, and to these the future boy colonel' was an atten- tive and interested listener.
 He never yentured word there, but he was political authority among boys of his own age and often talked in boy ish language and enthusiasm to child audiences of the issues of the day.
 Colonel Bradley one day, year be- fore he was elected governor passed through the corridors of the hotel, where young Harry was standing talk ing with a companion. Harry saw him and ill return to his greeting, How do you do, colonel?" received from the flu ture governor the remark: ''How do you do, Harry? Glad to see you
 "Who is that gentleman!" asked some guest of the house of Harry. Quick as flash came the reply, "That is Colonel Bradley, the next governor of Kentucky
 The colonel overheard the remark, and, turning to the boy, asked him to repeat it, which he did.
 "All right. my boy; if that prophecy comes true" said he, "I will make you a colonel on my staff. y
