Attractive Costume For a Miss

The stylish and attractive costume
shown in the large illustration, and
described by May Manton, is made of
lightweight wool serge in Sumatra
brown, with yoke of silk in the same
color, sash and collar of plaid ribbon
and trimming of embroidered passe-
menterie. The bodice, which is slight
ly pouched, is made over fitted lin
ing that closes at the centre front.
The outside is fitted by shoulder and
underarm seams only and closes in
visibly at the left shoulder and under
arm seams. The yolk of silk is faced
onto the lining, the overlapping edge
of the serge being outlined by band
of trimming. The sleeves are two
scanned and show only sufficient full
ness at the shoulder to support the
epaulets. The skirt is five-gored and
fits smoothly across the front and hips.
The fulness at the back is laid in un-
derlying pleats, which form the fan
back. 1t is lined throughout and has
an interfacing of haircloth six inches
deep. The edge is bound with vel
veteen.
To make this bodice for a miss of
fourteen years will require one and
seven-eighths yards of forty -four inch
material.
The skirt will require three and
seven -eighths yards of the same width
goods.

Light From Saydust.

A town in Canada is partially lighted
by gas made from sawdust. The saw
dust is charged in retorts which are
heated by wood fire, the gas from
the retorts passing into series oil
coils and thence into the purifiers,
which are similar to those used for
coal gas. Lime is the principal puri-
flying agent employed. The works
turn out daily $40 cubic meters of gas,
for the production of which about two
tons of sawdust are required, A man

at the works. The gas in an ordinary

The Price of a Child.

workingman's child was killed by street
car in Jersey City, N. J. Parents sued for
damages and were awarded $4,000. Corpora
ton went into the court of appeals and had the
sum cut down to 81 900, but plaintiff was given
the option OF demanding another trial i'll the
lower court. Again the case was trcd, ami
again verdict for $1,000 was given by the
jury.
Thereupon, the corporation went into the
supreme court, and Judge Gummere, OF that
court, ruled; "The law is plain, and every sem
timental verdict of this nature will be set aside
by me- | am president in the case. 1t is all
right to bring in verdict for nominal dam
ages, such as six cents or dollar. That |
would allow to stand, as the railroad company,
for instance, that might have caused the death,
could better stand the cost, probably, than the
plaintiff" The wise judge also said: "Ch-
dren are all expense, as rule, and not pccun-
iary benefit to their parents. Yet, it is gener-
ally accepted that the larger mans family is,
the more likely is he to die rich.' We know
of no other way to pull such putocratic fangs

AS to an Early Convention.

The following, from The New Road, of
Denver, contains much food for thought:
''Wharton Barker is still whining around
about holding an early Populst convention, and
in his efforts to fool the Populist party he is
ably backed up by quite number of Western
Populists, who think the only way to make
bosses of themselves is to carry out this plan.
We object to an early convention, and Our reas-
ons for so doing we trust we can make plain in
what follows: We helped write the old indus
trial platform at Cincinnati ten years ago. The
Omaha platform is practically reiteraton of
that platform, and we all recognize in the
Chicago platform the Omaha almost complete.
There is certain element i'll this country that
recognizes the principles of these various plat
forms to be along the right lines, but those peo
pie are not Republicans nor Democrats. If
the Democratic party is left TO act independent
ly, it will turn down the Chicago platform in
1900 just as sure as the sun rises and sets upon
that day. We all know where the Republican
party stands, and there is danger Of that
party enunciating any OF the principles set
forth in the Omaha platform 1t is purely a
party of politicians and corporations, backed
up by the gold power, and the Democratic
party is the same if left to its natural managers
If the Populist party will keep out of the field
until after the two old parties have held their
conventions, they will find it will be left to
themselves entirely to reassert the principles of
the Omaha and Chicago platforms, and when
that time comes, William Jennings Bryan will
be Populist. We believe the best policy is
to let the two old parties demonstrate to the
world that they ale welded to their old idols;
then, in 1900, the reform element of the
country can get together again, lay aside their
little personal squabes, re-write the Chicago
and Omaha platforms and 60 ahead to victory,
just as sure as they get together. We believe
this proposition ought to be plain to every
thinking man at all acquainted with the trend
Ct public sentiment. The wal has changed the
plans OF the two old parties, and the gold ele-
ments of both of them are quietly sneaking
around to get control again. That they will
succeed hardly admits of doubt, and if they
succeed then there is mission for the Populist
party or some other new party to perform"
