MORE HosTILE THAN EVER.

NIoNE lAhLhAs II
During the speech Of Hon. w.
]. Brayan at Washington, d. O.,
in discussing the international
agreement" that the Mckinley
ties are continually talking about,
he said:
washington said: AS ave
nues to ioreign influence in in
Vulnerable ways, such attach
ments are particularly alarming
to the truly enlightened and in
dependent patriots" Washington
also said in that message. There
can be no greater error than to
expect or calculate upon real IA
vors from nation to nation. It is
} an illusion which experience must
cure, which just pride ought to
discard Those who are expect
ing foreign nations, dominated by
the creditor classes, who profit by
, 4 rising dollar, to join with US il
? stopping the rise in the dollar ar
! doomed to disappointment, and j
e is difficult to see how any person
J. can expect silver to be restored t
d its rightful place by foreign ai'

wonder that women have their ~favorite
|lounging roOes made of it. 1t now comes
a yard wide and costs but 25 to 35 cents,
and six yards make II full robe. With n
good pattern it is next to no trouble to
make. 1t comes in slate, white, gray in
several shades, drab, blue, pink and car
dinal, and also it can be had in stripes Of
various colors. The prettiest one l have
seen yet was in a pearly gray, slightly
gathered at the neck and just below the
waist line. There was II silk cord, with
tassels around the waist, and a wild collar
lined with gray tatfeta and bound with
satin ribbon. The sleeves were very no. |,
the upper part being gigot and the lower
like an old fashioned bell sleeve, all cut in
one piece.
Children share in the lovely gowns of
his season, as they wear the same ma
terials as their mothers, except when 1t
comes to tho rich silken fabrics. Mohairs,
cheviots, boucles, cloths and camel'S hairs
all are suitable for them, and for their
party or chest dresses taffeta is suit
able, and so are the plaid silks. Only the
lighter qualities, however, are deemed
proper for the young. True, some foolish
mothers will put the richest stuffs and
real laces upon their children, never
thinking of the days when the little ones
will be big, and then find nothing good
enough for their larger needs. Gowns for
girls are very neat this season, and not
very snowy. One made of changeable
taffeta in dove colors had three narrow
folds at the bottom of the skirt. The
blouse waist had a lace front and some
dark blue embroidery on the straps. Blue
ribbon trimmed it very acceptably. This
was a best gown. One for "a girl Of 8
WAS of mU:tled cheviot, green and brown.
The waist ,Sas of plaid poplin, trimmed
with straps and gilt buttons. A girl Of
Is had "a dress of locked cheviOt in several
colors, russell brown predominating. 1t
was trimmed by flat bands of dark brown
velvet around the bottom and on the waist,
held down by large tan covered buttons.
The melon sleeves had narrow pipings of
velvet along the seams. 1t was very tidy
and girlish cOnceit, and one worry easy to
copy in any seasOnable goods.
A pretty, useful and serviceable cloak
for "A girl of from 10 to 10 was "A close fit
ting ulster of brown plush, with balloon
puff sleeves. There was IA cape reaching to
the waist of the plush, bordered with
mink, and over the shoulders there was "a
wide fancy cellar of the same, the ends of
which reached the bottom. This coat
would look well even with very hard usage
for three seasons, the first one for best, the
next for second best and the third for
school or every day. 1t should be made
rather large in the body, to let out. Econ
olny is TIE source of wealth"

Calling perchunce new greeting to the land
Now sale ut hand;

Seward she filings the first f~arrcaching cry
OF that vast speech of hers Whereby
She sounds her way from strand to strand
Through oceans fog and storm and mystery
Housed safe ashore, deep down
Beneath the mountain clalnOr OF the town,
Never by day comes clear to ne
That strange old voice of the sea;
Only in chance caught silcnces men hear,
As if by night, the ages tale

Forth on the unchlrtcd sea each must explore
So strange n sea, so near.
