as obligatory as we were made last season to believe, but they will be much worn and always approved Shirt waits of linen, crash and denim are sure to be worn, and if you get a chance at any at half price, go in for them.
 Some of the silk waist designs that are coming are beautifully complex. Here is model that was carried out in rose-leaf pink bengaline covered with the same shade of silk null. It was banded with insertions of valenciennes in the manner shown, but puffs of white chiffon may be substituted for this trimming if desired. The center showed band of lace in addition to a chiffon frilling, and the collar was pret- tily finished with pink chiffon ruches. Pink null, shirred along the outside, pleted with epaulettes in which all the materials were combined.
 A novelty labled corset chemise" is made of wash silk, and Is a very low necked bodice with ribbon shoulder straps. It is boned softly and fits to only just under the bust. To 1t is hung an accordeon pleated skirt that falls to the floor all around. Hiding where waist and skirt join is wide sash knotted in front in rosette bow, the ends falling to the hem. That adora- ble bow is too bulky to admit the gar ment under an ordinary dress. It is too low to be called boudoir gown, is impossible as a tea gown, but would L fire. Really the garment is to be worn under gown of transparent lawn. This is all frills, seems to be just slip ped on and is all foam and looseness. The new garment is very pretty, and it is pleasure to fancy that some folks wear it, but for ordinary women 1t would be a wicked extravaganza.

SOME FINE POINTS.

People who are going to Europe with the expectation of buying things there to bring home will perhaps find profit in studying a decision recently given by the treasury department. A young woman from the United States, making a short trip in Canada last September, purchased there and brought down with her a fur huff and boa. On ar irving at the American frontier, duty was claimed upon them by the cus- toms officials and this was paid, under protest, on the ground that the tariff act of July, 1897, provided for the free entry of articles to the amount of s100 or under, purchased abroad by resi- dents of the United States The treas ury department, in considering this subject, takes the ground that. al- though the paragraph in the tariff pro- viding for the free entry of articles purchased abroad by residents of the United States apparently supports the protest made in this instance, the de-

partment holds that there are restric- tions applying to the bringing in or personal effects possessed by passen- gers arriving from foreign countries, and that these apply equally to so- called articles purchased abroad, name- ly, first. that these must be articles or personal effects; second, if consisting of articles of wearing apparel, they must be suitable for the season of the year in which purchased, and. third, they must be suitable for the use of the person bringing them in, and in all cases are dutiable. provided the person having them crossed into the foreign country merely for the purpose of buying them. In the case in point the fur huff and boa were bought in Canada on the 16th of September. The weather at that time was and had been decidedly warm. and there was not the least necessity for wearing ap- parel of that kind to be used for bodily protection. The action of the custom house officials in levying the duty was, therefore, confirmed by the de- partment.

 There is of course still possibility that there will be war. but 1t Is not probable that there will be. General Grant when in battle was greatly en- couraged by the thought that the en- eny was as scared as he was. Those who are afraid of war can comfort themselves with the thought that Spain Is no more anxious to fight than we are, and she isn't quarter as well able to fight as we are. Spanish pride still runs high, but Spanish cash is very low

The Charms of Water Hot and Cold, in
 Winter

The Charms of Water Hot and Cold, in
 Winter
 There are many people who think that cold water can be dispensed with for the ablutions in winter, and they diligently use hot water for the clean sing of their faces and figure, with, in so many cases, this dire result, viz, that. their skin being so constantly ex- posed to heated moisture. is more liable, when coming into contact with a cutting wind and cold air, to lose its velvety smoothness, if not to become ruined, roughened and aged in appear ance.
 Personally, love cold water in Win ter for the daily bath, but I use it with more care than in the summer. Whereas in the latter season a four minutes double is allowable, not half that time is given in December. More over, if it be icy cold, take off the edge of the frost-l like sharpness of the water by jug of boiling water. This quantity simply increases it's tempera- ture to cold, not even to tepid, which degree I would allow those of less robust constitution among my nieces. f I have a very dear mother, now nearing c5, and in summer and winter she has her cold bath, but previous to it she cleanses her skin thoroughly with tepid water, softened, using a rough Turkish square in the process and a pure soap. And here let me say that do not believe a good neutral soap can injure the most delicate skin if, after it has done it's duty, it be thoroughly removed before the face is dried.
 There is no charm in hard water, though, and a skin that is constantly coming in contact with lime and mag nesia salts, which hard water contains, will never be thoroughly clean, or beautiful. Soft water is obtainable, but like all scarce commodities, not

PROGRESS IN THE Nnw SOUTH.

That the new South is not yet what
 1t should be Is shown by the dastardly
 deed recently done at Lake City, South
 Carolina, but it Is making progress in
 many ways. For instance. 1t not only
 raises cotton, but spins it. And among
 the new ventures is the making of
 tablished in Charleston year or more
 ago, and there is one at least in vir-
 ginia, and now it is reported that one
 is completed at Nashville, which is one
 of the best in the country. It has a
 capacity for making 5000 pairs of shoes
 daily, giving employment to 300 hands, and it's manager declares that he can buy material as cheap as it can be bought in the East, labor and fuel, etc,
 are cheaper, and he firmly believes that he can make better shoes in Nashville, at 25 per cent. less cost, than those made in factories in the East. Char lotte, South Carolina, which has twelve
 cotton mills, has recently added the important industry of making cloth into forms for wear. Five factories are making trousers, and the managers re- port that they are finding a market for
 their product in some of the northern and western States. Machinery for a
 mill of the same character is being | placed in Athens, Georgia. Other ven- lures noted are plant for making cot ton-nill supplies in Alabama, a steel rod mill in Kentucky, chair factory 1 in Vicksburg, sewer-pipe works in Ten l nessee and factories in North Carolina for making bed-springs, pumps and l mattresses.

 find that ''mudsills" are good for it.

-TT---=T7-=T-7TFl--7-'7== Spain's KeapOnsIbilitY.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 There is one view of the Maine dis aster which, so far as have seen, has not yet appeared in print, and which is worth considering. That is, on which side is the burden of proof? Must the United States prove that the explosion was not an accident, or must spain prove that it was? Or, In other words, in case no conclusive evidence be pro- duced, on which side will rest the re- sponsibility? Clearly on the side or Spain, because under all the circum- stances it is far more probable that the Maine was blown up than she blew herself up. If the present temper of both the Spanish and the American people continues, full responsibility must be accepted by one nation or the other, or responsibility will be forced upon one nation by the other. The catastrophe cannot be relegated to the past for forgetfulness as unaccountable and unavoidable.. Legitimate passion is too excited to accept such conclu- sion. The pretense that the Maine was on a friendly visit deceived no one. It may be doctrine of international law that nations are at peace until the ac- tual breaking out of hostilities. But Spain and the United States are no more at peace than enraged mastiffs still held apart by masters whose con- trol is weakening, The Maine was in a hostile harbor for the purpose of protecting Americans against the first outbreak of Spanish fury. Her guns were shotted. She was ready for ac- tion. That under these circumstances Spain may have anchored her over a mine ready to be sprung on the first show of aggressive movement would only indicate ordinary prudence against a probable adversary.
 Sigsbee must have understood the situation. Knowing it, why he kept his boat at anchor over the same spot, and why he did not take her out of the har- Dor every night, are points which might come up in an action for dam ages as showing contributive negli- gence. But only in mitigation; the original responsibility would not be changed.
 Spain is responsible unless she can produce positive evidence that the ex- plosion resulted from causes over which she could not have had direct or indirect control. If the Maine were moored over mine placed by the ,or- ders of the Spanish government, Spain | is responsible, though the mine were i fired by accident or by fanatic. If l the Maine were kept in one place so
 that every distance and angle from the
 shores could be calculated for the suc-
 cessful launching of a torpedo, Spain
 is responsible, though the torpedo were
 launched by a lunatic, a Weylerite or
 a Cuban. Should no proof be forth
 coming, Spain will still be responsible
 under the general law of the burden of proof. b. aCADY EATON.

always easy to find, There Is the rain water, which, If caught without first touching the metal pipes, is worth its weight in silver. Many of you can save this and filter it through your washing jug; if not, second in importance comes pure distilled water which every girl can have if she will sacrifice small portion of her pin money to set up a small still, which will give her also delicious herbal lotions
 Nearly all waters can be temporarily softened by boiling them and thus breaking up depositing the lime and magnesia salt. This. therefore, you must do if it is not possible for you to obtain either rain or distilled water; and you can further soften your face water by putting into the jug the oat- meal bag and the small teaspoonful of perfumed ammonia which have so often told you how to, make.
 The desirableness of having a clean wholesome skin these cold days is felt by all. but no lotions or emollients will give you this, the greatest attraction in women, if you use hard water to wash your face with.
 A double facial bath is necessary in cold weather as the air, owing to the increase of smoke. is not so pure as in l summer. Therefore, with your soap, soft warm water and loofah, a well worn one, as the new ones are too hard l cleanse the pores of your skin at bed time as well as in the morning, and then douche your face well with cold softened water which will arm it agai nst exposure from those wintry elements which do their best to destroy it's beauty.
 Those of you who suffer from indiges- ton will find relief from the cold or stepid bath, providing the abdomen be well massaged, and those afflicted with
 a superfluous amount of flesh may take
 this hint to themselves also. Before
 dressing in the morning let the former 1 take a glass of cold water, accompany
 ing it with some hip and waist excer-
 cises, and following on with the dish of stewed fruit at their breakfast. They l too, will find that water hath charms I to soothe away many a headache and i to drive away that feeling of weari- sorneness of life which the dyspeptic is l too well acquainted with.-Philadel-

Some of the new designs pouch very much in front and the plaid Is arranged to match along the folds of the pouch. But there always has been a prejudice in favor of trlnlness in wash shirt waists. and it is likely that this will prevail again next season, None of the new shirt waists will be made with collar on, but all will be fitted with neck bands, to which the collar will be adjusted.

THE PREVIOUS MIRROR.

Women who know they are beauti- full and men who know they are fine looking" frequently have occasion to find fault with the mirrors which ought to give faithful reflection of their beau ty and fine looks. Why people don't see themselves in mirrors as they know they are Is explained by a scientist, who says that the average mirror Is positively libelous. The reflection does not portray one's appearance with strict accuracy, by any means. The hair Is wrong in tone. the eyes are not correct in color, and complexions are shockingly misrepresented. The fair skin looks gray and pallid in the glass; and however plain the face, it Is. by no means so plain as it appears in the tell tale mirror. Again, very few persons can assume their natural expression while peering into looking glass. The eye must be in a certain position before one can see at all, and the eye so far as expression is concerned, governs the face. The consequence is that you can see only one of your expressions in the glass, and that is one of attentive ex- animation.
 This explanation will be a comfort to many who do not see themselves as they look in a mirror, or as others see them.

Dr. Henry Wade Rogers, president of Northwestern university and lecturer on international law, quotes precedents to show the protection due by gov ernment to the war ships of friendly power, and among others cites the Arm strong incident of an American priva- teer destroyed by British squadron in 1874 while in a neutral Portuguese port. Louis Napoleon, who arbitrated the case, held that it was the duty of Portugal to give protection to the American ship. but released that coun- try from the payment of damages on the showing that the American had first fired upon the British fleet. Proof of the destruction of the ship by any means other than an internal accident, according to the opinion of Dr. Rogers, fixes responsibility upon Spain and makes her liable for indemnity.

The Harvard alumni voted 1,749 to 1859, majority of 390, in favor of ex- tending the suffrage in the selection of overseers to graduates of the pro- fessional schools of the university. Thus is President Eliot's policy upheld, in spite of the predictions of powerful opposition. The action of the alumni has no binding force in this matter, but 1t tests the "sense of the meetings" and amounts to ''vote of confidence" The overseers' petition will now be heard in. the legislature, where action had been deferred out of deference to the result of this vote, and the pre- sumption is that the petition will be granted.

A new vine pest is reported from the Bordeaux wine district, in France. It is the Botrytis Cinerea, a kind of fungus, known among the country peo- pie as the grey rot, which in worm, moist weather spreads with extraordi- nary rapidity. This fungus bores through the skin of the grapes and drier up the juice, especially diminish ing the percentage of tartar in 1t, and operating upon it in other ways to ruin the flavor of the wine. An effective means of checking the disease has not been discovered, and it is causing great uneasiness in the winegrowing dis tricts.
