prettiest when it approaches turquoise, and is as rule more becoming to clear brunettes than to blondes, for it is likely to take the blue on of the blondes eyes and to make her fair skin seem a little pasty But every one re- gardless of effect is wearing this color, Which is sure to be soon set aside.
 Women who want the shades they choose to outlast fads will keep clear of such short lived preferences. By so doing, of course, they will lose one chance of originality, but they can be safely stylish nevertheless. Before you is dress whose colors were simply white and black, Now there has not been a "revivaP of this combination that is, the fad chasers haven't taken 1t up again-but it has never gone out of favor with sensible folk, and is as effective as it ever was. This skirts back cloth was trimmed with black silk passementerie and above the black satin belt was vest of white satin yelled with chiffon that was striped with lace insertion, and to this there was a yoke-ike lace top. The stock collar was folded white satin orna- mented with lace, and lace covered the white satin revers. Over the shoulders were narrow white bands covered with black jet galoon, similar bands adorned the epaulettes, and black silk passe- menterie trimmed the fronts and back. Now if you wish to, you can make that vest of the newly stylish blue, but be wise and take the turqouise shade, and if you're fair, keep off.
 There Is fashionable endorsement, too, for all shades of yellow, violet, and of gray. Among the ye1lows, nas- turtium orange shades are, perhaps, the newest. The favor shown these is shared, however, by tea yellow, which Is esteemed as especially delicate and suitable for dress gloves. All the fa- vorite delicate grays are of the pinkish tone, cadet and blue grays being voted unbecoming. Cerise is softened into watermelon pink this season, and as such finds great favor.

W4 RSHIP TALE.

The government has very appro- priately rechristened it's two new war ships and named them "Yale'' and Harvard respectively. We refer to the two big liners Paris and New York" which the nation has recently acquired. Very appropriate indeed, for both these great universities have been famously represented in all the wars of this nation. Yale's patriotic spirit was most conspicuously evidenced in the heroic stand taken by President Napthah Daggett of Yale at the Brit ish invasion of New Haven. Yale's graduates have figured prominently in most of our great national events, either as warriors, legislators or states men. One of the most pathetic events in the early history of the war for the union was the death in battle of the lamented Theodore Winthrop, the gift ed young author, in the Big Bethel fight, General Terry, the hero of Fort Fisher, was student of Yale law school.

there are now three cross shaped pits in which these guns are placed, in each leg of the cross in fours, and six teen in pit, and forty-eight in all three, with twelve more to emplace, making what actually is the largest battery of it's particular kind
 When the whole sixty are. fired at once, as is the design. Sandy Hook will be a new rival to Vesuvius. And as each shot is twelve inches in diameter and weighs half a ton, one can see what an annoying thing it will be for an enemy's fleet to encounter our mor- tars on a summers day. These bark CTS" are to be put in one clrc'' nd fired from armored turrets placed in out-of-the way localities that coln- mand full view of the approaches to New York harbor from the sea. And as the channels are spaced off into inn aginary squares, the officer, with his plane-tables and range-finder, simply follows the enemy's boats with his tel escope. When the instrument locates the fleet on a certain square the tele- scope connects a circuit that fires pit previously ranged on that certain square. As these pits are deep in sand, surrounded by natural scenery, it Is hard even for Sandy Hook offi- cer to go off shore and loate one. The only weak spot is the Atlantic High lands from which, if an enemy should capture it, the shelling of the Hook could be done. But to take the High lands would he very difficult.
 It is intended that the mortar-shells shall be fired into the air at such an angle that they will drop upon the en- ennys decks. No ship has as yet been built that can resist such an attack.
 Cautiously enough after they have been fired you suddenly see them at a great height, sailing along together like flock of geese They as sud denly disappear in mid-air and strike at your feet at almost the same time As each discharge costs about fifty thousand dollars for the entire sixty pieces, one hours active work foots ur a cost of one million dollars, or, for a days work, at ten million dollars One can therefore see that Uncle Sam has powder to burn.--Leslie's Weekly

Secretary Wilson of the agricultural department reports that in the past five years the United States has paid to foreign producers over $500000 for im- ported sugars. Last year the total do- nestle product was 3s5, ,65O tons; total refined product of beet sugar 1,76O, ,607 tons; making the total consumption for that year 2,O96,263 tons. Of that 45 per cent. was beet sugar The secre- tary concludes that these figures justi- fly the development of the industry, in- asmuch as the total amount of sugar now imported into the United States can be produced upon 10000 acres de- voted to sugar crops.

Russell A. Alger, the present Secre- tary of War, is the first Michigan man to hold that office since the estab- lishment of the War department in 17s9. The first Secretary of War was 8 Massachusetts man, and during the war of 1872 the office was held by another Massachusetts mar, who was succeeded in 1913 by a New Yorker.
