REFORM IN BABY CLOTHES.
Apparel Fashioned on Lines of Clothes
for Grown Up RefOrmers.


The new baby is not outdone by the
new woman nowadays when it comes
to clothes. The little lady has her APP
parel faithfully fashioned after the
gowns Of the grown-up followers Of
dress reform. From the so-called ''boot-
for her little bald head, the miniature
mistress Of the nursery is strictly in
style, from the Jenness Miller stand
point.
The idea of dress reform for the baby
sprung into popularity but short time
ago. Previous to that time an ambi-
tious man with an M. d. to his name
had patterned several pieces of stockin-
eft apparel without beauty, which proud
mammas promptly refused to put on
their little ones. Subsequently mem
bers of the fair sex succeeded in devel-
oping numerous improvements for the
baby along less exaggerated dress re-
form lines.
The chief advantage of these vest
ment innovations for the infant over
the old-fashioned modes is the Danish
ment Of that tiny thing which has
been the cause Of countless walls in the
nursery-the point of pin. The cure
for this crying need of the baby was
also accompanied by other improve
ments in it's attire, as to give it pre-
cisely what women seek to find in their
dress reform gowns. That desidera-
tlm is greater freedom of the body and
more comfort in their clothes, as we'll
as to reduce to a minimum the neces-
sary pieces of apparel.
One of the more useful additions to
common-sense dress reform for the
baby are the 'booties," which came out
out few months ago. They are hand
knitted foot coverings that come to the
knee, where they are fastened with a
tiny ribbon. "Booties" make unneces-
sary the rather awkward looking pin
ming blanket. They are dainty little
things, with delicate borders of pale
pink of light blue.

About Adam.

A curious Jewish tradition reports
that Adam was entirely clothed in
a hard, horny skin, and only lost it and
became subject to.evil spirits on losing
Paradise. The nails are the remnants
OF this dress, and whoever cuts them
Off and throws them away does himself
an injury. An old Persian chronicle
says that Eve also possessed this dress
and the nails were left to remind them
Of Paradise.

the skirt is gathered to yoke over the
shoulder and is buttoned in the back.
AS to dresses, the reform baby may
have as many as her mother will per-
nit, only they must conform to the
same effects carried out centuries ago
by the Grecian maiden. That is to say,
the waist line, If there is one, must
come close under the arms. Illustrative
of this idea is the white null dress with
fancy lace yoke, which 'has marrow
sash that ties in front in a dainty bow.
Then for negligee there is the comfort
able cashmere wrapper delicately en-
broidered which the baby wears when
her first tooth begins to give her trou-

Congress has passed a bill prohibit
ing American citizens from engaging in
pelagic sealing. The bill was strongly
supported on the ground that we
should be in a better position to urge
the suspension of deep-sea sealing upon
other governments after we had for
hidden 1t to our own citizens. One sec
ton of the bill wholly forbids the i'm
portation of fur-sealskins taken in the
waters mentioned in the act, and di-
reefs the proper officers of the United
States to seize and destroy such skins.

There is law against carrying con-
cealed weapons. Theoretically it is
wise and proper ordinance. But as
matter of practical fact the only per-
sons who honor this law are the vic
Tins of the murderer the foOtpad, and
the rowdy. The law disarms the only
class who could with safety be trusted
to carry weapons of self-defense, and
puts them at the mercy Of every Grim
inal they meet. What real service does
this regulation perform in the social
scheme, we should like to know. 1t
sacrifices good citizens and it imposes
absolutely no restraint whatever upon
the others. 1t is our deliberate opinion
that any respectable person who has
been threatened by a crank should be
authorized to arm himself and should
be held grliltless if, at the slightest
menace from that quarter, he uses his
weapon with promptness and efficien-
CIV. The life of one useful, lava biding
citizen is worth hundred of these pes
tiferous vermin, and no law should i'm
pose upon him the risk of defenseless-
ness in case of murderous attack. We
do not advocate law-breaking. What
we propose is such an amendment of
the law as will fit the situation. Every
ruffian, crank and criminal carries his
pistol or his knife. Why should decent
people be put and kept at their mercy?
Why should we have laws which sacri-
flee their friends and strengthen and
uphold their enemies?

Gunner's Mate Smith Finds Evidence
of External Explosion.

Gunners Mate Smith described his first
descent which landed him in the ten-inch
shell room. The shells were there in good
order, most of them nose up, but some top
pied over by the shock of the explosion,
which had wrecked the woodwork of the
magazine and blown an aft bulkhead over
from port to starboard. He crawled over
this bulkhead and down behind it found a
ten-inch powder tank bent and dented, but
not exploded. 1t was intact with powder
and cartridge bags. On his next descent he
went down from The port crane, following
the side of the ship till he struck plates
there that were blown from port
to starboard inboard. He followed
these plates down till he came
to the six-inch shells sill in the
sings used for sending them up out of the
shell room. They were lying with their
noses up, pointing to starbOard The for
ward part Of the six-inch reserve magazine
seemed TO have been blown away 'altogeth-
er. The ragged edges of the steel floor to
the shell room were turned up and Smith
walked over them out into the mud. Com
ing back from his trip into the outer sub
marine world. the diver came across lot
of six-pounder shells and shell cases, some
of them not even broken away from the
SHSliS. Lying flSnl dcIOSS ltiS VI
the ten-inch shell room he found an armor
plate that had been torn away from the
ships side. These plates taper towards the
bottom, being thus easy TO distinguish.
The plate on being ripped loose by the ex-
plosion had turned a complete somersault
and landed with the thick edge in the mud
and the plate leaning obiquely over the
wreck of the shell room. There were six
inch powder tanks scattered over the ten
inch shell room. most of them split. A num-
Der of them were sent up. but more re-
manned.
on his fourth trip down he slid down the
outside of the ship by the port crane. 'The
skin of the ship" he said, is in good con-
dition till you come to the jagged opening
leading into the six-inch shell room before
mentioned Here the steel edges are blown
inward" Crawling into the hole he felt the
double bottom and the jagged edges of the
cement turned up. He described in detail
the ten-inch powder tanks found here. none
of them apparently exploded but with the
soIdered seams split and the cases fiat
tened Some lids were to be found
Witness was questioned very closely as
to the plates that he found blown inward
and whether they might not have been
bulkheads but he insisted that they We're

tom and located them accurately on the
plans about the middle of the six-inch shell
