ginia." The whereas" of the bill points out that many worthy Virginia gentle men find great difficulty in satisfying their laudable desire and ambition to become colonels, and the therefore" of the bill says: Be it enacted by the Gen. eral Assembly of Virginia that any Vir- ginia gentleman of good standing in his city or county may apply to the justice of the peace, and after taking the oath of office required by law. and particular ly the anti-dueling oath, and upon the payment of fee of one dollar, such jus tice shall issue warrant creating such applicant colonel with full rank for life.
 This is something like. This bill should be made law and similar laws should be made in all the States They would meet long and deeply felt want, and they would help the State treasury out. No State has anywhere near the colonels 1t can stand, and no State has anywhere near the colonels that are needed to correspond with the colonel ambitions

NOT dS BAD AS IT MIGHT BE.

Several people who didn't know much
 about reindeer and things connected
 with them thought when they read
 about the governments scheme to re-
 lieve the sufferers in Alaska by means of reindeer that the government might be making a mistake. It now appears
 that the government was making a mistake, and it is announced that the War department has abandoned the reindeer scheme. It also appears that the situation is not as desperate as it
 has been said to be. Major Fucker, who has been Investigating, has come to the following conclusions: That while there is shortage of stores in the Yukon basin, a state of famine does not at present exist, nor is it likely to
 exist in the immediate future; that large expeditions with quantities of supplies hauled on sledges by horses or reindeer could not proceed down the Yukon further than the foot of Lake
 Labarge, four hundred miles from Dawson; that reindeer on such an ex- petition are no more serviceable than are mules or horses; that if government assistance is conspicuously needed in | the Yukon it will be when the stores now in the hands of the people are ex- hausted, which is not likely from all | that he can learn to be earlier than April or May.
 | If the gold seekers can last until | April or May they may get help then l for the Chicago Snow and Ice Trans | portation company which has a con. tract with the government to haul the | relief expedition supplies from Dyea tc
 Dawson, expects to start it's snow train | into the interior about the middle ot l February The contract which the
 company has with the government 1 allows that length of time in which tc
 start the expedition, and if it starts | then 1t may get somewhere sometime
 Meanwhile it is cheering to learn from Major Fucker that no famine is ir sight.

THE HohsN srILI yALUABLE.

Not long ago we were told that horses were so plenty that they couldn't be sold; that vast droves of them were wandering the western plains and mak- ing great nuisances of themselves; that factories had been started in the West for canning horse meat, etc, etc. There is now another story and it Is told by a man who ought to and probably does know what he is talking about. MT. F. J. Berry, an expert horse grower, in an address at the convention of American stock breeders and feeders in the city of St. Paul referred to condition in the markets which is of great interest to the horse trade of this country. He declared that he and other men con- spicuously engaged in stock raising be- lieved that the United States would at no distant day witness a horse famine, and that it would be due partly to the hard times and low prices which have driven many growers out of business and partly to the increasing demand for American horses in Europe. He said that horse raising, if properly attended to by farmers, would speedily become one of the very foremost of our agricul- tural interests, and his recommendation was that special attention be given to growing horses of the grades in demand in foreign markets, which he described as follows: First, a well-bred coach horse; second, a cab horse; third, the omnibus horse; fourth, the draft horse, and, fifth, the American trotter. To these MT Berry might have added the cavalry horse, which is growing in fa- vor wherever American stock has been used in that service.
 According to this the bicycles tri- umph isn't going to be as sweeping as it has seemed likely to be. Still, 1t is holding it's own.

CHRISTIAN YORK IN CHICAGO.

Woman is seeking with all her might
 to be independent of Man, and she is
 succeeding so well that it is time for
 man to get scared. He is so conceited
 and 'set' that it will be hard for him
 to see that he is no longer very neces-
 sary to Woman but the sooner he sees
 it and prepares for what is to come the
 better off he will be when it comes. It
 is rather surprising that the dearest
 perception of the situation is not in cul- tivated Boston, cosmopolitan New York or town-born New Haven, but in wild and windy Chicago. The Young Mems Christian association of that city has, very properly, an eye on the future and it has seen enough to move it to add to it's activities the teaching of cooking to young men. The young men will also be taught how to care for their rooms, how to buy choice parts of good meats and how to carve the duck and other birds.
 Of course those who have made out this programme are very careful in what they say about it. One of their
 remarks is that they want to make young men of meagre means indepen- dent of boarding houses. But the slickest remark is that they want to fit young men for the time, in matrimony, when their helpmates may be indispos- ed. Indisposed is good. When young women can marry young men who can
 keep house we'll, buy meats we'll, and
 carve the duck well, young women will of course be even more lndisposed to do
 housework than they are now. The
 Chicago Christian association sees
 things as they are and as they are go- | ing to be, and it is doing a truly Chris tian work.

planned as theater bodice and was


 planned as a theater bodice and was deemed fine for such use.
 Ball and dancing gowns are delicious ly fluffy and elaborate this year, and the rutfled dancing skirt has made all most as big hit as did the tulle skirt of few seasons back. One of the prettiest patterns shows belted prin- cess effect, skirt and bodice seem to be one and lap over double-breasted, the corners are rounded off at about the knees, and the princess portion of the gown apparently stops there. From under escapes a cascade of little frills that completes the skirt to pretty danc- ing length. This design presents many novelties. The princess portion of the dress is figured silk, the frills are silk muslin in delicate ivery white and each frill is edged with baby ribbon, caught frequently into tiny bows.
 In these days of tempting bargains 1t is well for women to know that care full perusal of the advertisements of the best stores is good way to keep in touch with fashions demands. You may be sure that when some exclusive article is being marked down, then there is something the matter with 1t. Either it has fallen into popularity, which means that it's next step will be into commences, or in the effort to sell it to the women for whom it was planned some blemish in design or its execution has been noticed, and the price put down accordingly. But don't be fooled you cannot afford to buy a marked-down fad; you may with more dignity wear something quite out of fashion. FLORETTE. t

A comprehensive bill making many changes in school government and call culated, in a degree, to equalize educa- tional opportunities, has been prepared by the Massachusetts Board of Educa-
 ton for submission to the lesiglature. It proposes, in the first place. that all towns shall keep schools open for eight months in the year. At present the law requires towns of 4,000 or more inhabi- tants to maintain schools for eight months, and all but forty-nine towns already keep schools for this length of ment for the maintenance of high schools be extended from towns with taining 800 families, and that in towns of 10000 ore more inhabitants manual training be provided in elementary as well as in high schools. Other radical changes contemplated are that the age of compulsory attendance shall begin at seven instead of eight years, as now, and that unemployed illiterate minors under seventeen years shall attend a day or evening school. The innovation likely to arouse the most opposition is by so-called "State parental schools"

4 Pertinent Question.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier
 The superintendent of schools has just issued carefully prepared list oi the correct use of words for the pupils of the public schools. So far so good but would it not be an excellent idea tc have one on the incorrect use Of words for many teachers of said schools Gramnat errors may be tolerated but the vulgarity and coarseness Of speech used in many rooms ought moi to be. One instance among host serves to illustrate. This week teach CT mimcking boy told him that if he made that mouth again he would find she was an almighty good hand at trimming off mouths.
 This, which savers strongly of Bill lingsgate is not single case, but the same is common in a large number oi rooms In our city schools.
 It shocks the pupils of finer sensibili. ties and only hardens others. The mat ter may not have impressed the sctoo board, but 1t is one which many parents feel deeply. A PARENT.

A review of the manufacturing con- ditions in Japan has been made by an agent of American Trade. He finds that the competition to be feared from
 that country is really strong in certain lines, but not in all The Japanese are short of skilled labor, having no ap- prentice system. Coal is high and ma chimes, however perfect, are diminished in value and output by reason of ignor- ance on the part of operatives. Wages. too, owing to the effect of war on the finances, have advanced in two years fully forty per cent. The laws of Japan do not allow foreigners to hold stock in Japanese companies, and investments in manufactories are not open to them

The efforts to mitigate the dearth of colonels in Virginia have, it appears, been only partly successful, and there is a demand for more coloneIs.

The church pawnshop in New York, like all other pawnshops, has accumu- lated lot of unredeemed pledges which must be sold at auction. Its managers expect to come out about even, however, as no loans have been made except on what was considered adequate security, and interest charges are Invariably per cent. month. If the interest re- mains unpaid after 15 months then the pledges are subject to safe. Int plan is thought to have worked to the good , of those whom 1t was hoped to benefit, and the indirect results are equally marked. For instance, every pawn broker on the East Side has reduced his rate of interest since the opening of the church pawnshop. They used to de mand 8 per cent. a month, while now some charge 2, some 11s and some are down to the per cent. rate.

New York isn't making the showing as a port of export that those interested in it's prosperity would like to see. New York exported more corn in 1897 than in 1896, but the gain was not as large as, was that of Baltimore or Philadel- phia- In the case of wheat, Baltimore's exports showed an increase of 211 per cent, Galveston's 226 per cent. New Orleans 29S per cent, and New York s only 69 per cent. Taking all breadstuffs together, we find that the increase in New York's exports was 43 per cent, Newport News 50 per cent, Ba1timore's $ 53 per cent. and Philadelphia's 93 per cent. The new tendencies in our ex- port trade are pretty clearly shown in these figures. Perhaps the most signi ficant fact of all is that the gain in wheat exports at Galveston and New Orleans was greater than that at New York, Philadelphia and Boston com bined
