time Tn the matter of material jew eled embroidery. hand plaited chiffon, jetted lace and fancy straws of every description are held in the very highest favor, while the craze for rich and varie- gated trimmings seems rather to wax than wane. Flowers, popular as they have been in past seasons, will be none the less so during the coming one, and lovely ribbon, too, will play no small part in decorating Easter hats and bon nets. Glace ribbon, either plain or else showing a rather narrow moire edge, is quite the proper kind to buy, and when made into a smart-looking bow and perched high in the back gives an air of distinction and style to certain hats that otherwise would be altogether commonplace, not to say ugly. Hats, both large and small, made of fine Eng fish straw in a small fancy plait show ing an exceedingly shiny surface will be much sought after for spring and early summer wear.

Power of the Hesrt Compared with
 That of Greas Machinery.
 There is nothing in the human or ami anal makeup that is as wonderful, from every point of view, as the queer little energy and the amount of work it per forms hourly, daily, monthly or yearly are equaled by no known source of power, weight and size considered. Some conception of the enormous energy of this queer little bodily organ may be formed by making comparisons. A trained mountain climber, for an in- stance, can only ascend 5000 feet in nine hours. In other words, such per son working continuously for con siderable length of time can only raise his own weight 1000 feet per hour. while the work done by the heart is equivalent to raising it's own weight (ten ounces) 13,soo feet every hour.
 A still more striking illustration of the great power of this wonderful little organ may be found by comparing it with the most powerful locomotive ever made by anthe Bavarian locomotive of the Vienna & Triest railway-which can only raise it's own weight 2,7oo feet an hour. This calculation plainly shows that the power of that greatest of hu. man mechanical contrivances weight and size considered is less than one fifth that of the heart.
 Of course the actual work done by both engine and climber is much greater in amount than that done by the heart but when the relative size and weight are taken into consideration. the energy displayed by the heart far exceeds either of the other two St. Louis Re. public.

 The woman who numbers one or more sillen gowns among her posses sions is to be congratulated, for this is certainly to be season of silks. Plain and lowered grounds are equally in demand. and small checks and the lovely blurred effects are being used by some of the best dressmakers in many of their handsomest gowns. Much vel vet and ribbon enters into the trim ming as well as jeweled embroidery and fine lace in an open pattern.
 For warm weather wear nothing quite takes the place of the cookbook ing dimity or the more dressy organdie; and the prettiest way to make such dress is like that given in the illustra- tion. This particular gown is in white null, made over rose-pink silk. The skirt is ornamented with three rows of lace insertion, dipping towards the front, while at the bottom is deep kilted frill of lace. The bodice has a large sailor collar, likewise edged with lace, while a large rosette of pink satin ribbon hides the joining of the belt The woman whose thoughts center on cycling suits will find much to interest her at all the leading shops. where, am told, the stock is much larger than has ever been carried before. Corduroy does not enter into the construction of the newest suits. cloth showing plain or slightly rough surface having quite superseded it. The most popular col ors are green and brown, the latter be- ing of rather bright shade. The style of costume given in the picture seems to meet every requirement. of the perfect wheeling dress, embodying as it does durability. genteel appearance and ap- propriateness. It is made of cloth of medium weight, ip dark green. The skirt reaches to the ankle. measures quite three yards at the bottom and the front and side breadths are lined with thin silk. This lining does not add to the weight. yet keeps the skirt III proper position when the wearer is r1d- ing against the wind. The little jacket jaunty and chic, is slightly rippled pe- low the waist, the narrow revers pelns of tan-colored cloth braided in green The knickerboclers that go with tnls suit are cut somewhat different from any yet seen. They have scarcely any fullness at the hip and are drawn 1n neatly at the knee with elastic webbing eight inches in depth.

 For a long time bonnets have been out of favor, except with the very few. The coming season, however, will see them restored to all their old-time pop- ularity. and they will be worn by both old and young. Some are wonderfully pretty, and will prove becoming to the majority of faces. The most desirable have jeweled crowns and the brims al- most hidden under clusters of fine blos- soms, like the violet, pansy. lily of the valley, etc. l wish to chronicle the charms of one seen yesterday. It was made in one of the new English straws in a lovely shade of pearl gray. The small high crown was of violet vel vet, richly jeweled, while the brim. which was very much bent, had peeping out here and there clusters of prim- roses. High on one side was an aigrette formed of a single white hyacinth blos- som, supported by bows of moire rib bon. Tied under the chin with full strings of gray tulle, and worn with gown of gray canvas cloth arranged with little bolero of gray velvet em- broidered in white chenille. this little bonnet was a complete success. Tulle is being very much used as kind of yelling, covering entirely the straw shapes of many of the newest bonnets and hats. It softens the outlines in a most becoming manner, and is alto gether so pretty a fashion that one can only regret the fact that it is destined to become too popular, and hence too common to last long. In the meantime bonnets which are lightly yelled under tulle are having quite a vogue. Chic looking patterns made of bright green straw covered with soft folds of green tulle present a delightfully."- cool and spring-like appearance. and the same may be said of the pretty mixed straws, green and white. for instance, yelled under white tulle. Little poke bon nets are marching right along toward popular favor. and many of the swell est bonnets that will see the light of day on Easter morn will be this charm ing shape. Some of the models in this shape have the small crown gorgeous ly embroidered, while others are spangled, but all have the pointed brim lined with soft-looking lace and edged with very full ruche of narrow lace or chiffon. The picture shows two of the prettiest patterns brought out this sea-

The first hints of Dame Fashion as to novelties for the forthcoming season have already begun to show themselves in the world of millinery, and, judging from the many lovely pattern hats and bonnets seen within the week, she has indulged in fewer vagaries and idiosyn- crasies than is her wont at this partic- ular season of the year. Never were the styles prettier or more varied in design or more artistic in finish, and. consider ing the excellent quality of material and fine workmanship, never were prices so reasonable as at the present

He Never Injured the Masses and Wns
 Not Unpopular with Them.
 If Richard be tried by the only proper standard, that of his own time, he will be found to be not more but less cruel. and bloody than either his predecessors or those who came after him. The act which has especially blaekenef his mem ory is the mysterious removal or mur- der of the princes. Yet Clifford, backed by Margaret of Anjou, had killed in cold blood Richards brother, the earl of Rutland, a, boy of Is. while Henry VII. imprisoned and executed the feeble minded earl of Warwick, the son of Clarence. In mere numbers of execu- sides those who were taken in open re- bellion, Richard had much less to an- swer for than Queen Margaret.or Henry VII and far less than Henry VIII, who put to death anybody who hap pened to be distasteful to him on po litical. personal or religious grounds. There was no public opinion in that day against putting to death anyone who had played and lost in the great struggle or pOIlLlcS. E&ecuplOuS were d TecOS- nized part of the business. When game went against statesman in those days, as Mir. Speaker Reed once said, he did not cross the aisle and take his place as the leader of his majesty s opposition: he was sent to the tower and had his head cut off. Aures temps. autres moeurs.
 At every turn of the wheel in the long struggle between the Lancastrians and the Yorkists the victorious party always executed every leader of the other side upon whom they could lay hands. Such were the rules of the so- ciety and such the politics in which Richard was brought up, and he played according to those rules and without excess. paying the final forfeit himself with undaunted courage.
 Nothing is farther from the truth than the notion that Richard was un- popular with the masses of the people. He had never injured them and they did not care how many nobles or princes he put to death

It was too early in the season for mosquitoes, but pleasant enough in the evening, after supper. for Mickey Finn and his father to seat themselves on the back stoop and scent the odor of growing things carried to them by the evening breeze. The moon was yellow and full. MT. Finn was also pretty we'll loaded with corned beef and cabbage. The sedative smoke of Hed Carriers Delight had soothed him into eontem- plative content. The pale moon, the winking stars, eorned beef and cabbage, tobacco and springtime perfumes are sovereign adjunets to bucolic satisfac- ton. The time was ripe for quiet, phil osophical disquisition.

this, Mickey, have they invinted amy new dis'ases lately?"
 "Faix, they have" replied Mike orac- uiarly. "The wise min have invinted two horrible dis'ases appendycutus and atheromatous deginerashun."
 And what's this appindy-somethin'- or-tother like. Mickey? Does it break out on ye like the m'asles or the small pox, or how ?"
 'sNo, thin, it do not, replied Mickey. "Ye musht know, father, that some where inside of ivery man, where we're all twisted up like the roots of grape vine, there's dinl1y little thing like warrum the doctors call a yermiform We'll, for all their wisdom the doctors can't find out what this is for, dye see, except to make people ax foolish questions. Shure it has no more use in mans body nor mosquito. They have another name for this, and it is appendix, do ye mind, which names stuck on where it oughtn't to be, bein' of no use, like burdock on goat. We'll, this vermiform has queer thricks intmely. Tis hollow, and it iist sits around inside of man waitin' for a grape-seed or a carpet tack, or some thin small and hard to come along, and swally's the thing, whativer it may be, and thin yer name is Dinnis.'
 "Arrah, Mickey, me lad" exclaimed Mir. Finn, "but that's terrible dis'ase! It's horrible, so 'tis! But where is it ?" continued Mir. Finn, anxioelsly. explor- ing his ribs and "contagious" regions with his fingers, and already feeling incipient appendicitis.
 Iris no use feelin' for it, father" continued little Mike, with mournful shake of the head. "Yc'll niver see it till the doctors show it to ye."
 And how will they get il? ?" inquired MT. Finn.
 They'll cut hole in yer body and take it out and show it to ye. But that's all the satisfaction yell have, for yell die anyhow on account O the hole they cut in ye."
 "Millia, murtherl" exclaimed Mr. Finn, devoutly crossing himself and trying to recall the last time he had swallowed a grape seed or carpet tack But tell me, what's that other dis'ase ye were sp'alSin about? Is itcatchin' ?"
 No" replied Mickey, smiling to himself in the darkness at the fear he had inspired in his father. "Atherom- atous deginerashun is dignacious dis'ase intirely, and it's mighty hard on min over 40 years old.'

 Two of the smallest men in the city were standing at the curbstone waiting for a car. Their conversation had been about the traditional feminine tendency to extravaganza and the difficulty they had in keeping their domestic expendi- lures down to what they considered a reasonable limit.
 "There they are now!'' exclaimed one of them.
 "Who?''
 "our wives. And I'll bet they've been shopping"
 "They seem to be talking very ear- nestly about spending something"
 "I'll bet can tell what my wife is talking about"
 Are you a mind reader?"
 No, but I can make guess on that subject. I'll bet you dinner l can, anyhow"
 "Tll take it.'
 "All right. She's talking about spend ing money. We'll go up behind them and overhear what they are saying to prove it"
 They crossed the street and the orig inator of the idea smiled knowingly as his wife opened her purse and peered into it. My dear" she said to her companion, have you any changer" "Yes. a little."
