A TALK WITH ANoRee.
The Aeronaat Recognized the Danger Of Ills unaertakins.

The Aeronaat Recognized the Hanger of Ills Undertaking.
 Jonas Stadling, who accompanied Alp. lree to Dane's island and witnessed his de parture toward the north pole, contributes so the November Century an article entitled "Andree's Flight Into the Un- known. This is accompanied by num- Der of interesting photographs, including several of the balloon after it had been sut loose and had begun it's flight Mir staaling says:
 The aefonauts were inpatient to start this year They had decided to wait for really favorable winds until the I1th of July. After that date they wero prepared to start with less favorable wind
 In my talks with them about the risks and dangers of their undertaking they said at various times:
 ssWe have taken all into account We are prepared to face whatever may hap pen.
 Suppose the balloon should burst, ;" I asked, what then?h
 stWe shall be drowned or crushed n
 Suppose you alight on the pack ice far away in the desolate polar regions what will you do?''
 We shall do our best and work our way back as far as possible Having during these last years thought worked and cal culated in preparing for this expedition, we have, so to speak, mentally lived through all possibilities Now we only de- sire to start and have the thing finished some way or other.
 While talking about home and the loved ones their faces would assume more seri- ous expression and faint culver of the voice might be noticed, but there was no wayering of purpose
 "When may we begin to hope to hear from you?" asked.
 At least not before three months, and one year, perhaps two years, may elapse before you hear from us, and you may one day be surprised by news of our arrival somewhere. And if motif you never hear from us-others will follow in our wake until the unknown regions of tho north hayo been surveyed "
 Those who think the expedition feat of foolhardiness should remember that humanly speaking all possible precau- tions were taken toward securing safe voyage. A new and larger balloon might have been made during the previous win ter, but Andree preferred to enlarge the old one. Besides, larger balloon would have been still more difficult to handle.

strliah Evening Bodice.

The simplest and perhaps the most fashionable bodice for evening wear, says New Yerk fashion authority, is the full blouse shape of chiffon, droop- ing over 8 fitted silk lining, the top cut out in square or rounding fashion, with a full tuIle rache, a narrow band of fur, fall Of lace or beaded revers to finish the edge. The sleeves consist of short, full paGs similarly trimmed. This is Q basis for any kind of flower trimming that taste suggests. Rows of shaded pink roses devoid of foliage are in great use on evening gowns this win ter, as are maidenhalr fern and lilac sprays, laid upon strands of pink or or ange satin ribbon not more than an inch and half wide.

THE NEW JAPAN.

The Real Motives of Tts SfatesrnanshIp.
 Differs From Other Asiatic Nations.
 It is not a gracious thing to say, but many persons who discourse learnedly up on things Japanese never get farther than tho discovery that Japan is in Asia. Be- cause Asiatic nations do not, as @ rule, care for those things or attempt those things which Japan values and socks to attain it appears to be taken for granted by such critics that Japan, being an Asiatic na- ton, has no serious purpose in striving to adopt western civilization. Such reason ing has no weight, of course, with impar- tial students of human progress, but un- fortunately it does lead astray many who lack either tle inclination or the oppor tunity to discover tho truth
 Tho answer is obvious. Asiatio peoples may differ as widely from each other as those Of Europe or America. Because with one Asiatic nation religion is an insuper able bar to progress, because another is perfectly satisfied with it's present. eondi- ton and refuses to adopt even tho most obviously useful products of modern in yention, 1t does not follow that all Asiatic nations are bigoted or lethargic.

Take each piece of flannel singly and imncrse it in the suds Soap should never be rubbed on fanncls nor should fannels ever be rubbed on q board. Wash them by pressing and draw ing through the hands, rubbing tho soiled places quickly with the hands. Rinse at once in clear water and wiring by pressing one hand under the other or through q wringer. Never twist ill tho wringing Shake well and hang to dry immediately then proceed to wash the second piece.
 The fiannels when nearly dry must be taken from the line and pressed with a hot iron. Be careful that it is not, how eyer too hot, or it will destroy the color. Flannels washed in this way will retain their soft texture and original size until completely worn out. No deViations from these directions, however, can be made. For colored flannels make a studs as above. To the warm water for rinsing add four tablespoonfuls of white wine vinegar or a tiny bit of acetie acid which has been thor oughly dissolved. It is always well to wait for a bright day before washing fan nels. They should be dried as quickly as D0Ssihle ,"
