THE first bill to be introduced into
the present session of the state legis-
lature was one to establish board OF
pardons. What such a board can do
in face of section 6, article Y Of the
Wisconsin constitution, it will be hard
to imagine. This section says: The
governor shall have power to grant re-
prieves, combinations and pardOns
after conviction, for all Offenses except
treason and cases of impeachment,
upon such conditions and with such
restrictions and limitations as he may
think proper, subject to such regula-
tions as may be provided by law rela-
tive to the manner of applying for par
dons, etc" Such a board could out
recommend pardons in such cases as it
saw fit, which might help little, but
would the relief be much more than
nominal? An amendment to the con-
stitution would be the only thing which
could do any actual good.

HOT ArR MOTOR FOUNTAIN.

The hot air motor patented by NJ. Helm
rici works without steam, and, there
fore, many of the shortcomings of
small steam engines are entirely OBJ
waited. The hot air motor has a re-
markably regular and soft motion,
quite contrary to the steam or naphtha
engines, where each stroke of the pis-
ton occasions shock. The main en-
ployment to which the Heinrich hot air
motor is put is the work of pump in
the center of the flower stand, as shown
in our illustration. The benefit of hav-
ing continuous jet of water in room
during the summer is obvious.

his hearers with his fluent use of the
English language and his logical argu-
ments. However, 1t is to one of his log
ical conclusions that his hearers take
exception, and, if properly quoted, the
dusky representative will probably
make proper explanation.
He began his speech by expressing
great satisfaction for the privilege of
addressing such representative body
of western women. Then he touched
another sympathetic chord in the hearts
of his audience by his pathetic reference
to the mothers of his own land. His
remarks were ended with the following
tribute to the women in general: "She
is the heavenly flower stolen from Para
disc to adorn the house; as sister she
is the ministering angel; as q wife she
is the crowned queen; as mother she
is the goddess, noble and exalted, but
when she abuses this great power she
is the most dangerous creature on
earth" 1t is to this last remark that
nearly his, whole audience took some
what indignant exception.
The Bramacharian's conversation in
private is ingenious, absolutely self
reliant and swift. He has very lofty
conception of life, which is at entire
variance from the ideas of the western
hemisphere, and with his careful study
and training in science, in philosophy
and our methods, he is capable to meet
an argument ON any basis with the re-
suit that he win usually convince his
listeners that he speaks whereof he
knows-N. Y. Sunday Journal.

The average Frenchwoman has long
been held up to Americans as a model
of household economy. These women
seem gifted with the power of utiliz-
ing small things which other women
throw away. Any person who can make
over last years gowns and wraps as
long as any wear is left in them can
save a great deal, but the value of ones
time, if one must take time from re-
munerative work, must be counted
against the saving. 1t does not always
pay TO make over half-worn goods. 1t
is economical always to buy q durable
cloth for q dress, so It can be made
over. Select a goods that can be turned,
also one of pure wool, THAT can be
cleaned and dyed, when purchasing a
dress. 1t is poor economy to buy wool
dresses Of very delicate color. Mixtures
of silk and wool do not dye or clean
well, because the two materials shrink
unevenly. If one must select a gown
of mixed cotton and wool on account
of the small sum of money laid aside
for the purchase, do not buy a plain
color, but q mixture OF color. a salt

To saye the TnhIecIoth.

Nothing contributes so much to the
soiling of the dinner cloth as the glass
of water which during meal is being
continually picked up and set down
again in q new place. Some thrifty
housewives have adopted the custom of
setting the glasses on tiny plates such
as are so generally used for bread and
butter nowadays. 1t has been found
that tablecloth keeps clean much
longer by the use of these plates, and
the idea is especially popular among
boarding house keepers.

Why Gowns Made at Home Lack Chic
and SmRrtness-


Why is 1t that professional dress
makers, who are, presumably, women
Of little education, and no particular
talent, can produce satisfactory gowns
with pronounced chic in cut and style
that proclaims them at once to be "cus-
tom made" while the amateur, with
greater taste and cultivated artistic in
telligence and perception, should make
such abortive creations whenever she
tries to make her own dresses, is prob
lem that is often commented upon.
Home made" gowns are certainly not as
smart as those built" by professionals,
and why not2 Why cannot women of in
telligence, who have straitened in
comes, dress themselves and their
daughters without calling in extraneous
aid? 1t seems such simple thing to
do, especially in these days when the
most reliable patterns of the latest
fashions may be had almost for the ASK
ing, and materials cost next to nothing.
What is it that stamps it, as it undeni-
ably does, a dress made at home, as SEQ
ond-rate?
In the first place, the trademark, as
it were, is wanting in amateur work
A dressmaker does everything by rule
and rote, but this want of technical
knowledge could be easily rectified
either by taking the trouble to learn the
trade, which Is taught in comparatively
few lessons, or by copying in detail the
construction of gown from a good
dressmaker's. Finish" is also one of
the great essentials in which profess
SIGNALS score to advantage. Take the
wrist of an amateurs sleeve, for In
stance, and that Of professional Of
good reputation. The difference is
most marked. The bottom of the skirt,
too, almost invariably betrays its or
igin, besides many other little details
dependent upon the character of the
dress. Finally, another marked diff
ference between amateur and frst-class
professional work is in the generous
use of material. The former never
"skimps," whereas the latter, if she
makes her own gowns, obviously tries
to save every penny. In homemade
millinery, especially, this skimpiness is
very apparent. A young woman with
pretty taste in trimming bonnets who
could easily have half dozen hats for
the price she pays for one, confesses
naively that she is obliged to buy her
headgear and give large sums for each
confection, because she simply cannot
make up her mind to buy as much rib
bon or as many flowers as is really re-
quired.
my hats always look economical"
she declared, "but when am buying
ribbon by the yard cannot bring my
self to buy enough" So this season
she pays $50 for hat that she might
easily have made herself If she would
purchase the same materials.-N. Y.

CALLS WOMEN sAvAeEs.
4 Hindoo Cynic Says the Fair Sex
Abuses Its Power.

AtndOO Cyntc Says the Fair Sex
Abuses Its Power.
Many women, and especially the
mothers of the far west, are guessing as
% whether they shall accept Brama-
,harian Bodhabhikshu, white-robed
ind turbaned Hindoo visitor to the re-
,ent woman's congress in San Francis
20, as a popular or unpopular repre-
sentative. Although one of the most
enlightened and intellectually superior
citizens of the orient who has ever Wis
ted this country, his alleged remarks
IN the character of western women
have raised an unlimited amount of dis
,ussion and society gossip among the
residents of the Pacific coast.
Bodhabhikshu is the supremely dar-
ing man who declared in effect that the
women of the western United States are
savages. This brutal conclusion fol-
lowed on beautifully worded descrip-
ton of woman as the fine flower of civ
ilization, and it was on account of this
all the more cruel. If there is one thing
IN which the western woman prides her
self it is that she is civilized. She
showed at least one quality when she
treated Bodhabhikshu mercifully. She
did not abuse her power in his case.
Bodhabhikshu is picturesque char
acter, yet a fine type of the oriental
mystic of which we hear much and see
little. If his audience was one of dress
makers and milliners, his costume alone
would make an interesting and enter
tanning study for them for an hour.
While making speech he is just as
capable of holding an enlightened audi
ence.
ROBBED in white, with white turban,
the dark-skinned Hindoo presented a
striking picture when he arose to ad-
dress the members at the fourth annual
meeting of the Woman's congress. His
outer garment of pure white silk was
draped so as to set off the long, 1.-the
lines of his figure to the admiration of
his audience. AS messenger from the
cradle of eastern civilization, he amazed
