INDIAN MOTHERS AND DEAD
 RARES

The red man has his idea of Paradise, He looks forward to the happy hunting ground where his soul may roam after death. But what pleasurable prospect does this place offer to hls wife and children. The North American Indians do not bury their deal out of their sight, but they deposit the mortal re- ma ms in trees, or on scaffo d ng, some times reverenny covering them with a canopy. They often leave close at hand the club the aX, the bow, or whatever the departed has used in work of pleasure. Ir some tribes, when a baby dies the mothers ardent desire is to persuade his freed spirit to stay with her until age and exp 5ri9nee Tn the new life have armed him against the temptations that he must meet oli the road to Paradise; for he has not yet escaped danger and evil. She col lects his small belongings his cradle and various things in which his little heart delighted, and carries them on her back. In long, weary journeys she will nurse a bundle of toys and baby clothes as tenderly as though it were
 the lost burden that love made light. Sometimes this doll of sorrow" the
 object of her caresses and coaXing words, may be little more than bunch of feather, but the red woman hopes
 that her arts and graces may prevail over the love of liberty and adventure
 that are inborn in her people.
 It takes long for an anxious mothers mind to rest in the belief that her child
 can do without her care, and she may lay down the treasures beside his
 grave. The Great Spirit is too high
 and lofty to attend to trifles that are all the world to her There Is little in any of the vaunted heather creeds to comfort women and children. Promis- es of blessings here and hereafter are made for men. Perhaps nothing in the religion of Christ would appeal more powerfully to parents amongst the rem nant of the noble native race of Amsri- ca than the knowledge that arms even more tender than their own have em- braced the children who have passed beyond their care e.-Quiver.

one high necked and the other cut low. When the latter is worn the dressiness of the costume is much increased.
 A pretty bodice that was dressy enough for all ordinary use and that was tastefully in touch with the hat accompanying it was sketched for this picture. It was of bronze velveteen dot ted with white, bloused slightly in front and had a vest of white satin. This was banded at the neck with several rows of narrow brown velvet ribbon, which also ornamented the sides of the bodice. Straps of the goods trimmed with lib- bon showed at the shoulder seams, A large white chiffon bow spangled with gilt sequins supplied neck finish. For this bodice was toque of dark red vel- vet draped over low wire frame. The trimming consisted of loopad ar rangement of bronze and red shot taf- feta dotted with white and two black wings. Few smaller hats than this are to be had this winter, and nearly all the really small hats that are offered are lacking in character. It is possible, how ever, to find good sized hats that fit the head nicely and that are of comfortable WelSht, thOugh mucn SlyllSn neaQSear is painfully heavy.
 Hats and muffs are to be mated. Thus tam o'chanter of brilliant violet vel vet is trimmed and bound with black persianna. A huff of the persianna is embelished with big bunch of ribbon carefully matched to the color of the tam. Now and then tams of other col ored velvet are seen, the huff ribbon being in shade to match.

Dinner dresses of the highnecll vari- ety are still shown in chiffon heavily weighted with black steel spangles.
 Such a costume consists of a blouse of the embroidered chiffon and a robe skirt, with black silk beneath Fashion able women find such costumes very useful for wear at hotel or restaurant dinner and the theater afterwards. AS a hotel dinner often comes before the theatre, special class of costume is required. Sometimes this sort of rig is supplied with two foundation waists.

FIGHTING THE BUBONIC PLAGUH

Until quite recently the bubonic plague seemed to be so far off that it wasn't worth the while of the Europe ans or the Americans to worry about it. But unless the new sanitary science is as effective as it is expected to be it is possible that some of the highly civilized countries may yet get a scare. The Russian authorities seem to be thoroughly alarmed by the spread of the bubonic plague in Central Asia and are taking elaborate precautions to keep it within the narrowest possible limits. At last accounts out of 357 in- habitants composing the village of An zob, in the province of Samarkand, 233 had died and 14 remained on the sick list. The contagion had not then spread anywhere beyond this village. Mater ials had been prepared according to the system of Yersin, and Prof Haffkines remedy had been received from India. In the principal Russian towns one hundred doctors and eighty assistants have been registered and are ready to start for their appointed destinations

AY.4ST, THERE,

We read the following in yesterdays dispatches with amazed eyes: The monitor Wyandotte, now at League Island navy yard, is to be sold. The proposition was under consideration by tn Navy department to repair the ves- sel, with a view to utilizing her for some service to which she might be adapted, but inquiry developed the fact that too much money would be required for this purpose, and therefore a decision was reached to dispose of her.
 What! Sell the Wyandotte, the noble old Wyandotte? Sell the Wyandotte the warship that put the finishing touches on the Connecticut Naval Re- serve, that soothed New Haven when New Haven was scared, and that brought peace to Bath, Maine? Avaunt, and also ayast! Shall the Wyandotte become curiosity for exhibition pur- poses. an excursion boat, or merely old junk? Nay! It is not fitting. If she cannot go to war any more bring her to New Haven, tie her to the historic Long wharf, where she has before been tied, and there, amohg the appropriate surroundings, let her go to pieces in peace,
 There let her tottering turret fall
 There let her great guns sink;
 While over. round and under all

According to Robert Howard of Fall River, ex-president of the Cotton Mule Spinners' association, a new factor is developing in the cotton mill situation in the South, which may mean much for the mill employees in that section, and have deep bearing on the com petition with cotton mills in New Eng
 land. The change in the South referred tc may result from the migration there of the northern manufacturer. The lat ter is not satisfied to have the machin- cry in his southern mill running at a slower pace than that which prevailed in the mill run by him in the North, and is by degrees speeding up his spin ming mules and his looms. Hitherto, while a nothern weaver, for instance

The protracted study of duodecaplex telegraphy, pursued by M. Mercadier, the we'll known French scientist, is attracting much attention in that coun- try, as well as elsewhere. The report is that in experiments for some time past carried on along the Paris Bor- deaux line, twelve Morse transmitters were worked simultaneously on a single wire, each sending its signals to the proper receiver at the end of the line "a result attained by means of inter- rupted currents. That is, each trans mitter receives it's current through an electrically vibrated tuning fork, whose vibrations are of the period necessary to cause resonance in the proper receiv- ing circuit, the latter having it's self indication and capacity corresponding ly adjusted. The receiver, called the monotelephone, is also acoustically adapted for damping out undesired sig nals. the combination affecting so com-- plete a sitting that only a slight and not troublesome murmur comes from the unintended signals.

The Toronto Mail and Empire thinks that the United States "comes out of the war an empire. Despite the active opposition of large section of the American people to a policy of expan- sion that would bring with 1t the tra- ditionaI tabooed foreign entanglements, expansion has come. There will still be formal and academic protests by many of the wisest and most patriotic, but the recent elections show that the majority is favorable to imperialism. And we believe the spirit of the Amer ican people is such that they will never willingly recede from the positions now taken. They will meet the responsibil- ities and burdens of the new policy with determination, but whether wisely or not, at first, remains to be seen.'

One of the most important arts taught in the British army is the art of cook ing. A school of cookery IS established at each important headquarters, at which privates detailed for the cook tent are taught the art of properly pre- pairing the food served out for the com pany messes. The result may be seen in some degree by the immunity of the expedition lately operating against the dervishes In Egypt from stomach and other food troubles
