equipped with electric apparatus, which
will embody all the most gorgeous dis
play and the greatest and most striking
accomplishments of success. Within
the tower will be restaurants, cafes,
dancing pavilions, theaters, conceS
halls, and amusements of every de-
scription. The effort will be to provide
means OF qualification Of every rational
and proper desire of man. The main
feature will consist of the revolution
of the massive structure, whereby the
visitor will be able to stretch himself
in a comfortable chair and watch the
panorama of the exposition unfold it
self before him.
The electrical illumination of the
tower will be marvellous. At night 1t
will blaze like some fantastic, fairy
structure of poets imagination.
Growing 1t all will be gigantic cleo

voice of steam that may be heard four

directors of the exposition will accept

wonderful but practicable.

vanced of late applies to a single gown
as well as to an entire wardrobe, and
affects skirts, orders that skirts must
no longer be stiffened, but just the
same, those of us who cannot purchase
''stand-alone" materials find that just a
little stiffening Is advisable. We have
modified our taste for be-spread skirts,
but we don't want to look slimsy.
The latest skirt for wear with any
bodice Is a black satin flounced to the
hips, the founces overlapping and each
one edged with closely culled chiffon
or lace. The effect must be light and
airy, and the frills stand out prettily
as only nice stiff silk will stand. This
fashion Is very accommodating to those
of US who INDUCED a year or so ago In
a plain go-with-anytlhng skirt. Some
times each frill Is edged with narrow
satin or velvet ribbon In color har-
monixing with the bodice to be worn.

bodice.
With the woman whose domestic du-
ties are serious matter of routine not
unmixed with drudgery, all daintiness
and dressiness in the homework gown
must play second fiddle to serviceabil-
ity. Where a pretence is made of being
a housewife-that is, where drudgery
is met at, say, forty rods range, the
dainty devices that the fashionable
woman affects are of good purpose, but
she who tolls as much as she directs is
pretty apt to postpone attempts TO look
dressed up until such time as most Of
her tricks are done. The rest of them
find her nicely attired II she is rugged
like the woman of the third illustra-
ton. Here is a dress of figured challie,
the skirt full and plain, and the bodice
having a full front of blue China silk
and bolero fronts Of the dress goods.
A pretty trimming of white lace frills
is added to the front, and the blue silk
gives the stock collar The shape. of
these sleeves, which ended in bell-like
cuffs, suggests that the big sleeve is
dying hard. One new dress with tight
sleeves usually takes woman out of
the notion Of being too stylish, and she
contents herself with sleeve tight to
the elbow and softly dropping puff from
the shoulder.
There remain in the illustrations two
Afternoon dresses of richer stuffs than
that just described, and so elaborate
that the wearer of either one would not
be suspected Of not being through with
her days household cares. The first of
these was brick red silk. It's front was
loose from neck to hem and was laid
in two wide boxpleats while the sides
and back were fitted and were finished
with n satin belt decorated with scarlet

The short life Of Franz Schubert
probably contained as much artistic
labor as any man has ever been able
to crowd in the same number of years.
He was born in 1907 and died in 1898.
His artistic career extended over about
twenty years, during which time he
produced more than 1000 songs, to
say nothing Of symphonies, pianoferte
sonatas and concerted music.
The natural life of Haydn was from
1882 to 1909. His first musical per-
Torrance of note was at the age of 20,
and from that time until his death his
industry was incessant. His artistic
life thus covered a period Of fifty-sev-
en- years. His works comprise 125
symphonies, sixteen masses, two
great oratorios and almost number
less concertos, duets, trios, quartets
and quintets for various instruments.
Milton was born In 1908, and died in
1914. His first poem of note, ION the
Morning of Christ's Nativity" was
written in 1929; the Paradise Regain
ed" was finished short time before
his death. His literary labors covered
forty-fve years. His greatest poem
was written by the hand of an aman-
uensis, and his most serious annoy
ance was the petulance Of his daugh-
tiers, who sometimes refused TO write
when he was In the mood to compose.
A Missouri tornado made its way into
a lady's chamber. A bureau was stand
ing against the wall, having on 1t lot
of such traps and trinkets as lsdies
usually have-cosmetics, bottles and so
on. A bandbox with few laces inside
was standing by it's side. The wind
took that bureau, moved it to another
part of the room, but did not disturb
the bandbox. 1t went into another
ladys room, picked up a trunk filed
with clothing, carried 1t out of win
dow and waited 1t over into Hancock
County, forty miles away.

Framing Deer Hounds.

In spite of the fact that deer hound
ing is allowed for only fifteen days in
New York State, a good many Adiron-
dack woodsmen have 2-year-old hounds
which they expect to train to track
deer this winter. Their plan is to take
the dog into the woods In midwinter
and find a deer yard. Two or three
woodsmen usually go together One
carries rifle and the others long-blad-
ed pocket knives. A deer is overtaken
in the deep snow and shot through the
paunch, so that the blood will flow slow
ly. The puppy is put on the trail and
away 1t goes. yelplng and stopping to
taste the red drops. When 1t comes up
with the deer it attacks Ii and pulls it
down. After a few such experiences
the dog is eager to follow an unwound-
ed deer In the snow.

Ravares OF Kindsrpest IN oosth
Africa-An Lave stock Dyings
BacterIologists are watching with
keen interest the result Of DR.. Koch's
attempt to stay the ravages Of the rim
derpest in South Africa The plague IL
now leapIng 60 miles a day. 1t cannot,
60 fur as now known, be checked by
any human device, and must inevitably
kill every head of cattle In South Africa
The attempts made lat summer to ar
rest It's progress by wholesale slaugh-
ter Of native cattle provoked the rising
OF blacks. and any repetition Of such
measure would entail consequences the
gravity Of which 1t Is hard to estimate.
In any event, the rinderpest will alter
the whole character Of life In South
Africa, for TO put an end to dairy farm
ing and most other present forms OF
agriculture In that country will drive
the rural colonists by thousands to the
towns, where there is nothing for them
to do. Every known remedy has been
tried, and there is now nothing left but
to await the result of the scientific cru
SADIE which Is being undertaken by the
German savant. The reports from
South Africa reveal a terrible state OF
affairs. The wild animals are being
rapidly killed of by the disease, five
kinds of antelopes having recently been
found dead on, the weld in great num-
bers. 1t does not affect sheep or goats,
though camels are said to suffer from
1t In Asia. If the contagion should ex-
tend to these beasts Of burden the situa-
ton would be seriously aggravated, as
10000 of them are yearly bred for SER
vice In Cape Town. The disease has
hitherto been widely promoted by the
rotting of exposed carcasses and the
consequent distribution Of myriads OF
microbes. In this way the air has been
poisoned for miles. In the Transvaal
the orders are to shoot only sick ami
mails, and as many as can be entrenched
at time. 1t Is hoped that Immigration
and the daily administration Of simple
antiseptics may avert the destruction
of valuable cows on the dairy farms.
The isolation feasible in England 80
years ago is impracticable, but an effort
is being made, to keep the plague north
of the broad Orange River, although
carrion birds, vultures and vermin
easily pass that barrier, and natives
can ford it in many places.

cut as low as she likes. 1t is made of
silk, covered with some transparent

chiefly beautiful because 1t seems as

Over this is worn a very elaborate half

sumptuous full-length affair. The lat
