new ribbons are so alluring, so sug- gestive of new methods of adornment, that the best laid plans are likely to go awry in favor of some later thought Pictured here is comparatively sim pie arrangement that was very pretty The ribbon was black velvet, and the dress goods was apple green foulard figured with black and white. The bloused bodice front fastened in the center beneath a. row of small bows each dotted with tiny buckle It had revers and collar of white silk finished with frills of white chiffon. the fitted sleeves had narrow ruff1es at the shoul- ders, and plain white chiffon gave chemisette and collar, each trimmed with ribbon straps and buckles. The skirt had separate green taffetas lin- ing.
 Dress improVerS are'to be worn with many of the new imported dresses and so it behooves the woman who is par ticular in such details and whose fig ure is lacking to get one. Carving yourself carefully and going in for the right sort of xercise is one way of get ting one, but the more common way is to buy one. You cannot tell which method has been followed when the dress is in place, only the figure that is not artificially reinforced is likely to be shapely below the belt in front and to have a chest held high The other sort of figure seems to have an i'm prover' that by no means improves hung in front below the belt and is hollow at the chest and thrown for ward at the chin.

men on completing the time for which they have shipped, The Board of Trade calculates that, estimating the accumulated pay of each deserting sailor at minimum average ot $oV, nearly $7500OO is thus lost to the sail ors and to their families at home, the money of course, remaining in the hands of their employers. The Eng fish government now proposes to devise means by which ship-owners and ship masters, who often brutally treat their men with the express object of induc- ing them to desert without demanding their pay, should be forced to disgorge all such accumulations of wages for the benefit of the nearest relatives Of the deserters.

FASHION NOTES.
Led by Q Ribbon String.

There are going to be ribbons to 1t this winter to an extent that hasn't prevailed for many seasons. Many dresses already shown by exclusive makers suggests that Dame Fashion has us on string, that string being some new and dainty sort of ribbon of which the manufacturers have put out liberal supply. Indeed, there are so many of these fascinating bands that selection is not an easy task, but when the one that seems just right is chosen, the job is only just begun For then comes study of the method of using them. Of course 1t is more methodical to have the plan definitely settled be- fore the purchase is made, but those

Fourteenth amendment to the federal constitution, which is embodied in the first section, and is as follows: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the juris- diction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside, No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, lib- erty or property without due process of law nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
 Judge Acheson declares that the tax provided for in this measure would amount to an arbitrary deduction from the daily earnings of a particular class of persons and that it would deprive them of the right to equal protection under the law. The bill was designed to protect native and naturalized citi- zens against the labor competition of unnaturalized foreigners, but the method by which it was proposed to accomplish that object meant the de- struction of a right of protection which the Constitution extends to all persons within the jurisdiction of the govern ment, no matter whether they have ac- quired citizenship or not. The real purpose aimed at in this enactment is to be executed in providing more rigor- ous immigration laws. Once admitted to the country, aliens acquire certain general rights to protection and equity which cannot be taken from them by an arbitrary State enactment like that undertaken in Pennsylvania.
 If the decision of Judge Acheson is sustained the State of Pennsylvania will not have about sS00000 this year which it would have had if the law had | worked

A goat breeding company is securing leases of wild land in the great black berry wilderness that surrounds Lee, ~Nfaine, for the purpose of establishing "a big goat ranch for the purpose of raising kids for the market. Since the price of wool went down the. pelt of a fiat kid is worth as much as a lambs skin with the wool on it, while its meat lis quite as savory and nourishing as that from lambs. A sheep produces a lamb once every year, but the she-goats have two or three kids at a birth twice a year. This company expects to put hocks of approved breeds on these lands in charge of goat-herds, who will at- tend to the flocks, cut meadow hay for their winter fodder; and cull out the kids as soon as they are in marketable condition. Within three years this company hopes to have fiocks aggre- eating a hundred thousand goats and thinks it will make a net profit of a dollar on every kid it sells. This plan does not include cheese making, which the farmers of Switzerland and other sections of Europe have found prof1ta- ble for many years.

The greatest and strongest chain ever made has recently left the Tipton Green iron works, in England. It is intended for crane work at Chatham wharf and consists of oval links forged severally of three and one-half inch rods, each link being 20 inches long and 13 wide. Since there was no machinery availa- hle for testing a chain of such dimen- sions, the test was made by actual sus- pension of 400 tons, or S96,000 pounds, from each link.

That the lot of the sailor in the Brit ish mercantile marine is no bed of roses is shown by a report of the Government Board of Trade just issued in London and according to which the number of eases of desertion during the twelve months which have just been brought to a close exceeds fourteen thousand. With the exception of few hundred only all these deserting seamen were what are known as long-voyage men. and their abandonment of their ships, In some foreign port-usually an Amer ican one-meant to them not only the sacrifice of character, with the cer- tainty of Imprisonment in the event of recapture either at home or abroad

B. Baden-Powell, secretary of the British Aeronautical society, writes to the Saturday Review statement of his surmises as to the probable course of the balloonist Andree. The start was made at 2:30 p. m, on July H. and he estimates that the pole should have been reached by o'clock on the fol- lowing evening. By 2 p. m. on the 18th the coast of Alaska might be reached Of course, if the wind changed, the balloon might drift in any direction. but with an average pace of twelve miles an hour it ought to be able to travel six thousand miles in three weeks. so that landing might be ef- fected early in August But the rest of the journey would probably be slow. and Mr. Baden-Powell thinks there is no cause for worry for the next two months.

The protectionist Performance.

The following is a part of exGon- gressman John De Witt Warmers criti- cism of the Dingley bill;
 "As it stands the most brilliant part of the pending performance consists in eating the words of the same actors i'll the Fifty first congress. The Mckinley bill of that date was virtually entitled "a bill to reduce revenues. The Dingley bill is specially commended as revenue getter. The Mckinley bill pointed with pride to the poor mans free breakfast table. The Dingley bill puts upon sugar "a single item of the breakfast table one third of the total amount of the tariff tax proposed. The items which are supposed to help the farmer are good examples of so setting your trap as to 'cotch lem a-cumin and a-gwine. For instance, we have reciprocity in creleI to give the farmers market abroad for what it is assumed they cannot produce for home consumption unless they are highly protected, as is done by another section of the bill"

A LONG INSIDE PASSAGE.
Navigating the Ocean Among Thousands
 of Islands.

Navigating the Ocean Among Thousands
 of Islands.
 Whatever may Do said-and much can be--of the beauties of the Alaskan coast, 1t is not inviting to the seafaring man, and especially the master who is taking ship by tho inside route from Puget sound to Sitka or Juneau for the first time, feat, so it is claimed, impossi- bie or accomplishment byNa continuous voyage save through the assistance Of good pilot. This passageway ay-formed by the mainland coasts of British ce lumbia and Alaska and a chain or is- lands ranging in length from to 250 miles-is from 100 yards to several miles in width The channels proper are of unusual depth. In places from 300 to 400 fathoms of water are fre- quently found. From the smooth, glassy surface ledges and reefs, assassins of the sea- turk, ready to send some ship, humanity laden, to the bottom. In these waters the lead is supplanted by whistle echoes from tho land, this being the only method during fog by which the captain or pilot guides his vessel along safe way.
 Old sea captains say there is no wa ter course i'll the world where in unfa. vorable weather such skill is. required as to guide ship via the channels on Il voyage from the sound and return, the rognd trip to Sitka being more than half the distance of the voyage across the Atlantic The Pacific Coast Steam ship company s vessels running to Alas. ka are always manned with two pilots each i'll the winter and spring and are never without one pilot. With at least two of this eompany's vessels now run ming to Alaska the captains themselves served an apprenticeship of many years at piloting.
 The outside passage, the one by the open ocean, is seldom used, on account of the unfavorable winds which prevail for distance Of ever 50 miles out to sea, rendering vessels progress much slower, to say nothing of the danger of ships being taught i'll gale and driven ashore. With the danger from wreck almost eliminated by the employment of professional pilots, the inside passage is rendered most delightful voyage, as 1t abounds in beautiful scenery and is free from winds.

PIANO MADE OF PINS.
Amy Boy or Girl Can Make and Play a
Pinnettn.

Have you cigar box. bit of tissue
paper. a paper of pins and a tack ham
mer? WSll, that's all you need to
make pinnetta. and I'm sure the pleas
ure and amusement it will afford you
and your friends Will amply repay you
for the trouble.
First you take the box and nail down
the lid. then cover the whole box with
bright colored paper so that it will look
pretty. Then tack the pins along the
edges of the bottom of the box. You
must be very careful in the pounding
of the pins. for this is the difficult part
of the work.
Have your sister or somebody sing
the soprano part of any song you like.
note by note. Perhaps. unless the
singer has a perfectly true voice you
had better use some instrument to tune
your piune,ta by. Use new. straight
pins, and pound them in until they
sound exactly like the singing. just as
violin is tuned with piano. The
deeper the pins are driven the higher
the sound. If very high note is de-
sired. small black pins are best and for
bass notes large needles are best, but
common pins can be used for all. A very
little difference in the depth of the
driving makes a great difference in the
