FASHION NOTES.
Enthusiastic Beginners.

Though women of fashion in half
sizes. like the pair sketched below,
haven't the freedom of choice in dress
matters that their elders have, their
interest in such matters is usually quite
as great. and while adults only take
satisfaction in new costumes, the little
women find delight in them. While it
is a mistake to give so much attention
to children's dresses as to make dolls
out of them, it is wise to let them begin
early to take interest in the appear
ance they make. and surely if the tot
knows that her very best dress is some
thing that has cost mamma a deal of
pains, she will take the better care of
it and prize it the more highly. The
two little gowns shown here should be
satisfying to the wearers and makers
alike. That at the left was made of
light red cashmere, its full skirt hang
ing in deep pleats at the sides. The lit
tie bodice had a cut-out filled in with a
white silk yoke and collar: its double
revers were black velvet banded with
lace. and the sleeves had tight cuffs
and small puffs A fancy cord orna-
ment appeared on the bodice in front.
and belt of red satin ribbon confined
the waist.

rs FT A fSRECfsN GIFT?

Those who think that it is always
when dealing with Great Britain will
be impressed by the discovery made by
Professor Henry w. Elliott of Washing
ton, who passed three seasons in Alas
ka and who says there is a trap in the
pending treaty with Great Britain to
defined the boundary Of Alaska along
the 14lst meridian Article 1 of the
treaty, he says, permits the detection
of the true meridian line to give us a
strip of lofty mountain-top land two
and a half miles wide at the base, and
running northwest for twenty miles,
narrowing to nothing where it strikes
the 141st meridian. This is a gift
which ] believe is decidedly Grecian, as
it establishes the bad precedent of our
willing departure from the strict line
of our treaty rights. If we take advan-
tage of this opening here what will pre-
vent Canada from asking similar
privilege on our side when we reach
the next settlement on the 'thirty-nlile
strip We should take nothing more
and nothing less than what is given us
by the exact line of our treaty. With
the exception of article l the treaty is
all right
If the strip of lofty mountain-top land
isn't better worth having than it APP
pears to be it would perhaps be well
enough to make a straight line in the
new treaty.

Neither of these dresses offers serious
problems for the mother who is aceus-
toned to make her daughters clothing,
and each one would make its httle
wearer as proud as a duchess.
Boys of the age Of these pictured las
sizes used to have as little to say about
the styles Of their get-ups as their
small sisters, but it looks as II the
youngsters had won their mothers
over, for it is fad now to put the lit
tie chaps into long trousers as soon as
possible If his trousers are of sailor
cut, they are cut wide over the foot,
and if the mother is notfonal, the fronts
are creased The fauntleroy mother
still hourishes, and all sorts of wonder
full velvet and frilled shirt rigs are Of
fered for her choice, but the boy who
marches out into the snow banks rig
ged like a boy in rubber boots, storm
cap and stout trousers is the better
looking youngster of the two.

Some of the Kansas populists haven't
much imagination. One of them has
taken from the latest revised version
of the Bible a copy of the decalogue
and prefaced it with a preamble which
declares that 'men of the present gen
GRAFTON have become doubters and SCOT
fers," who have "strayed from the re-
live in the fear of God" and having no
fear of punishment beyond the grave,
they wantonly violate the law given to
the world from Mount Sinai" This
preamble and decalogue he has offered
for passage, to be the law of Kansas.
To it he has added a penalty Of 81 900
for having another God, or for making
a craven image; $500 for blasphemy,
for not observing the Sabbath day and
for not honoring father or mother. For
murder, the penalty is hanging; for
adultery, imprisonment for life; for all
other violations, such punishments as
the courts may decree This bill pass

now in charge of the judiciary commit

of Europe.
So much of reform as includes the
cessation of massacre and measure OF
relief from personal outrage and even
from excessive taxation can unques-
tionably be secured, Beyond this, how
ever no amount of external pressure
can so. Genuine reform means oppor-
tunity for individual development of
Christian and Mosem alike, That the
Conservative party will never carry
out, They might yield it on paper as
they have done repeatedly in the past,
but they would find innumerable ways
of presenting insuperable difficulties in
the carrying out of the plans. Genu-
Inc reform means genuine religious lid
erty. OF that the Conservative Turk
has not the faintest conception, lie
viii tolerate anything that does not inn
mediately injure him and has at least
an appearance of advantage, but as
for recognizing right to difference 'of
religious belief he never has done so
and never will. The Haiti. Humayoun
has never been recognized as of bind
ing force by that portion of the people
who are to-day the dominant element
in the Turkish empire. No government
can successfully carry out any policy
without the cooperation of those upon
! whom it's execution must depend, In
| Turkey those are to a man bitterly OPP
posed to any such reform. To expect
such a reform, therefore, is to expect

Although General Beauregard allow
ed the use of his name to a lottery COM
pany, he didn't think much of Iotter-
les, according to a writer in the Chicago
Times-Herald. One day he received a.
long letter and dollar from a man in
Mississippi, who wanted a ticket that
would be certain to win. He reminded
the general that he had faithfully serv-
ed the confederacy four years, and
that at times he had fought under him
He stated, moreover, that when he re-
turned to his home after the war he
didn't have clothes enough to wad a
shotgun. General Beauregard sent his
confederate friend a ticket, and in the
same letter enclosed the following let
ter: II trust that you may win the
capital prize. One as poor as you say
you are certainly deserves a different
sort of luek from the kind that you say
you have been having. But mark my

taxation Of churches, colleges and all
benevolent institutions for the last
twenty years in California has resulted
In depressing charity, in turning
many gifts to institutions outside of the
State, in placing heavy burdens on
private educational enterprises and
gripping many others. Little encour-

The report of Pension Commls- sioner Evans, says the Mississippi County Democrat, reveals some facts we'll calculated to astonish the most unrefl ecting. There were added to the rolls during the year the names of 50, 101 new pen. sioners, and there were restored to rolls 3971 pensioners who had been previously dropped, a total of 54, | Q72. The losses from various causes during the same period was 41,122, a net gain of 12,950. The whole number of pensioners on the rolls June 30, 1897, was 976,
 0l4, and Secretary Bliss, in his
 forthcoming report, will say thai there are 100000 claims awaiting
 adjudication. and it is estimated that 40 or 30 per cent. of these will be finally admitted. The estimates for the ensuing year by Secretary
 Bliss, which will be submitted to congress, will call for S156, ,522 ,419 for pensions. This is tax of two dollars and twenty-five cents on every man, woman and child in the United States tax of twelve dollars annually on every head oi a family And this, thirty-two years after the last gun was fired in the late war. Gen. Grant said that S30, 1000, 900 would be suffi icient 10 hberally pension every deserv- ing veteran; and the late Presi
 dent Gai field said that over $40 . 100000 would be robbery. Bu, now we have over S1l6,000,000 ir ssxcess of the last named sum, and the end is not yet. Tho standing army of no country in Europe lm- poses such an enormous burden on it's. people as IS carried by tn, labor of the United States-a bur. den saddled upon them by repub- llcan politicians to buy the soldier vote of the north The fact that certain democrats have aided in thls direction IS more than offset by the further fact that tho only effort ever made to check pension robbery was Mir.

The boy raised on a farm has a better chance in life than the city bred boy. This is our profound conviction after years of experi- ence and observation in the city and country with young men in a wide range of industries, says the editor of the Orange Judd Farmer in recent article. The farm bred boy almost invariably has the bet ter constitution-those elements ol good health and ability 10 stand hard work that mean so much il, this life. He IS usually endowed with a stronger moral character We are shocked If a country lad in our employ goes wrong; city yo1ths are more likely to be sus pected. Absolute integrity was never in greater demand. The city boy often has a pertness or smart" air that country youths do not possess; but the latter nor. frequently develop the manly sub stantial carriage that denotes real character. His mind is bette, trained than the average town boys. He may not be quite as glib in his book learning, but tn, tarm'bred boy, taught Tn natures school to observe and understand has rare foundation upon which to build a knowledge of industry science or any branch of farming The boy on the farm doesn't appre ciate all this, but he ought to be thankful of his country life. After he has had some years of experi ence in other vacations he will re alize how true .these words are. The farm is the place to rear a family.
