Fitted Waists.

Added to the great number of summer
waists made in surplice fashion, the
folds loose and easy or drawn as close to
the figure as possible, TO suit individual
requirements, are plainly fitted waists
with novel fichulike arrangements of
lace and null, of lace, net and insertion
or of material matching the dress. On
some of the French models the shawl
points are tied in very large bow at
about half the length of the waist; on
others they are simply crossed at the
belt and there fastened, and, again, very
long scarf ends are crossed ON the figure,
carried to the back and tied in loose

The Knack of Beating Eggs.

An exchange which asserts that few
cooks understand the knack of beating
the whites of eggs says that the best
beaten is wire whisk. Have the eggs
cold, and always add pinch Of salt to
them before commencing to beat. They
should be light and dry. and that means
to put air into them. So, at each stroke
with the beaten lift it from the eggs,
and the work will be quickly accom-
plished.

The Negro North and south

Minneapolis Times.
All this talk at the North about
the political and social rights of the
negro and the noisy sympathy for
the intolerance and injustice with
which he is treated by the Southern
people, are political rot and down
right hypocrisy. The negro comes
no nearer to enjoying equal rights,
social or political, in the North than
he does in the South. And In both
sections he is an inferior and despised
creature And he will never be other
wise regarded 40 long as hecontinues
to be the servile voting mental OF one
political party.

Atlanta CONSTITUTION,
The Billville poets are all busy
hoeing cotton in order to get money
enough to publish their books next
fall.
1t is pretty hard to make hay in
this country with a handkerchief in
one hand and an umbrella in the
other.
OF course, there's "life in the old

The Next Census.

As 1900 is not so very far of, the
work of taking the census ought to be
begun now. Even then. unless the work
Is completed more expeditiously than
the last one, it will not be made public
before 1904. How would it do to take a
rubber stamp and change the date ON
the 1890 census and have that answer

the one for 1910, that might be got ont
before the figures got faded. Council

Boleros divided at the back and forming

make the form appear slenderer.

In the case of the Americans in
Cuba, the expenditure of money was
necessary. In the case of our own
folk, all that is expected is that Con-
gress should do what it means to do
with respect to the tariff and the
currency, and give the country a

Senate especially, seems bubbling
over with sympathy for the Cubans,
it's leisurely legislation indicates that
it either does not know or cannot
sympathize with the distress that is
widespread in this land.
What is needed is a currency sys

A New View of the Bird Question.


''The Bird ON Woman's Hat" is the
subject of an editorial by Edward ".
Box in The Ladies' Home Journal,
which presents the live, practical side
Of the movement against the slaughter
of birds for their plumage. The crusade,
Mr.. Box considers. has been carried on
upon unwise lines and overzealously.
"There is a practical element in this
desired REFORM" he writes, land it is
this: Anybody who has given even the
most cursory attention or study to bot
any knows that all forms of life have
their origin i'll plant life. Every animal
which exists either lives directly on
some plants or on insects which destroy
plants The birds find their sustenance
mainly in the insects that injure vege-
tation and ofttimes kill it entirely. A
sufficiently large number of insects will
kill crop. If there are no birds, natu-
rally the insects have everything their
own way. have recently gone to con-
siderable pains to find out from farmers
20 what extent the decrease of b.sls is
Affecting their crops, and find that the
condition is more alarming Than we,
who live in the cities and large centers,
have any idea Of All the farmers tc
whom spoke or wrote agreed that last
year the increase of insects was un-
usually great, while the decrease of
birds was even greater.
'For every 100 birds killed about go
are born. Hence it is easy to see that
the greater the number of birds killed
the more exposed become the crops of
the farmer to the insects. The same
may be said of our trees, for the bird is
information.

act Of parliament to preserve ancient

years this brotherhood kept up the an

new. Then they began to purchase and
operate lights owned by private indi-
viduals or by societies, and still later
they commenced to build lighthouses
