We shall make it part of
our first business, as soon as

Costume IN Beige Cloth.

The accompanying design shows a
tailor made costume in beige cloth of
light texture. The skirt is quite
tight, like fourreau in the upper
part, moderately large half way down,
and widens considerably to the bottom.
1t is made in two parts. The upper
part is composed of yoke set in round
the waist and joined half way down to
a deep founce taille en- forme, which
composes the lower part. The yoke
is joined to the founce by nine rows
of stitching, which run around the
skirt behind and rise up to the waist
in the centre in front. The hounce.
which forms small godets behind, is
fiat in front, and forms a narrow
apron, edged by the rows of stitching.
The corsage is blouse, with short
crenelated basques stitched like the
skirt, which stitching is continued up
the front and forms square round
the neck, and the sides almost meet
down to the waist, just enough space
being left to show a front of white

Made of hunters green cloth, with
collar of velvet shade darker and
worn over vest of ecru corduroy and
skirt of plaid that combines the ecru
and green with brown, and thread of

The jacket fronts are fitted by sim
gle bust darts and flare open below
the bust, over which the closing is eff
fected by three cloth covered tailor
buttons and buttonholes.
Above the closing small revers roll

cloth, or suiting to match or contrast
with the skirt, as here delineated.

"Go down the ladder as quickly as
you can I'll follow. In two minutes
the whole place'll be down"
Emily gave him one swift look that
sent the blood tingling through his
veins, and in less than minute she
was on the ground. John, who had
not been allowed to hold the ladders,
tried to put his arm round her, but
she pushed him from her as she
breathlessly watched Reuben's de-
scent. Then, turning on him:
"Gor' she cried. ''Go When L

Honors for Three Dogs.

In IN editorial notice of the death
of Joe, dog, the Charleston Is. C.)
News and Courier says: ''He was a
dog, but he was gentleman. He
gave offense to no one, he was ad-
mired by all. His manners were
charming, his disposition perfect.
He was the delight of women and
little children, and his master loved
him-he was so beautiful, so patient,
so faithful, so true"
The rather unusual scene of a
funeral for dog and mourners who
shed real tears was Witnessed in
Wooster, Ohio, recently. The dog
was a fox-terrier, the property of DR..
w. F. Derr, an animal highly priced
by the ladies of the household and
the children. A coffin was prepared,
and as neatly made and covered as
though it held the body of an infant.
The casket lay in state for some hours,
and with its flower laden top was
viewed by many. When the time
came to lower the coffin into the
ground four boys acted as pallbearers
and a few appropriate words were
spoken as the box was lowered into
the earth.
A. J. Chevalier, Frenchman, and
residing in Columbus, Ohio, is griev-
ing over the death of favorite dog
called Diana. Out of respect for its
decease he placed Grape son his door,
and gave the dog frst-class funeral.
The body of Diana was placed in a
pretty white coffin, bearing silver
plate suitably inscribed, and prepared
for burial. Mr.. Chevalier wanted to
lay the remains in his own yard, but
the department of health> forbade it.
He requested local minister to de-
liver the funeral oration; and closed
his business till after the interment.
About fifty employees Of the grief
stricken man attended the funeral
services.

WHITE HOUSE WAR CHAMBER.

The Presidents Facilities for Obtaining z
News From the Front.
A war chamber has been established
at the White House. A force of wo.k-
men, including electricians, have been
employed transforming the room for
merly occupied by Private Secretary
Porter into presidential war cham
ber. The room faces south and it is
contiguous to the presidents business
Office and the cabinet-room. War maps
of Cuba, the West Indies, and the en-
tire eastern and western hemispheres
have been arranged upon the walls for
the convenience of the president.
Three sets of telegraphic instruments
transmission of information to the
president direct from all points of the
globe.
While the war is going on new set
of rules will be in force at the execu
tive mansion. The "war chamber"
will be locked from the inside, SO that
the doorway through which visiting
statesmen have hitherto passed en-
route to the presidents room is block
Simmons, the sable messenger who
guards Private Secretary Porter's door,
is to be moved down to the presidents
door, on which pass key and lock
has been placed. Captain Loeffier
will continue as outside guardian to
the cabinet room as of old. A spring
lock will also be placed upon the cab
met door, so that senators, represen-
tatives and other privileged callers,
who have previously had free access
to these rooms, will have to be an
nounced or wait until the latch is
lifted before they are allowed to reach
the president.
The reason given for this new rule
of practice and the precautions, which
SAVIOR of exclusiveness, is that the
president. desires every reasonable
facility for obtaining information from
the front. The cabinet room, his pri-
vate Office, and the ''war chamber" are
a consecutive suit. 1t Is not always
convenient for the president to cross
the corridor to visit the executive tele-
graph office. AS matter of conven-
ience to the president and the men,
bers of the cabinet, Private Secretary
Porter vacated his Office and moved
over to the room formerly used as the
telegraph Office. Now the president
will have free and unobstructed access
to the rooms running along the south
ern front of the mansion The re-
strictions temporarily placed on Off
cial visitors will prevent the president
and his callers from embarrassment at
periods when it may be necessary for
the president to deny himself to even
his best friends. Hitherto it has been
the practice for senators and repre-.
sentatives to walk right in to the pres
idents room without knocking. The
new arrangement may prove little
irritating at first, but it is believed
that reasonable men will appreciate
the necessity for the change under ex-
listing circumstances. = Washington

THE FLAG

Up with the banner of the free!
Its stars and stripes unfurl,
Aud let the battle beauty blaze
Above the startled world.
No more around its towering staff
The folds shall Irvine again
Till falls beneath its righteous wrath
The gonfalon Of Spain.
That nag with consolidated stars
Shines ever in the vani
And, like the rainbow in the storm
Presages peace 20 man.
For still amid the cannons' roar
1t sanctifes the fight,
And flares along the battle lines,
The emblem Of the Right.
1t E-eks no conquest knows no fear;
Cares not for pomp of state;
AS plant as the atmosphere,
AS resolute as Fate.
Where er it floats, on land or sea,
No stain its honor mars,
And Freedom smiles, her fate secure
Beneath its steadfast stars.

BarnacIes on Met al ships.


In the old days of wooden ships the
boring insects which live in wood
were their chief foes. Teakwood ac-
quired its reputation as shipbuilding
material because Of its supposed i'm
munity from these vermin.
Steel ships suffer from barnacles,
which foul their bottoms much1 1more
rapidly than they do wooden ones.
These strange marine growths are
sometimes as big as ones fist and ad-
here to the metal plates with tremen-
dous force, and besides impeding the
ship themselves they catch seagrass
and other rubbish and drag it through
the water.
When dry dock is not available
metal ships have to have their bottoms
cleaned by divers. When the battle

could not have made more than ten and

They had wandered about the old
place for twenty minutes, and had been
everywhere except up in the towers,
which was the oldest part OF the house.
1t had been shut up from the public,
as dangerous, for the last two years.
John proposed that they should go up
to the top and see the view. Emily
was frightened, but he laughed her
out of her fears, or out OF the express
sion of them. So they went up, and
John, who was in teasing mood, in
sisted on their getting out on the roof,
which was done by means of short
ladder, leading through trap door.
Though the day was warm for the
time of year, Emily soon felt bitterly
cold, and said she must go down.
John led the way, but had hardly got
his foot off the last rung of the ladder
when he felt the tower begin to rock.
With the impulse of coward, scarce
staying to give hasty shout to Emily
to follow, he rushed down the stone
stairs and out of the place. A mo-
ment later there was series of creak-
ing reports, and three sides of the
building fell with crash to the ground,
leaving Emily crouching down in u
corner of the roof, which still hung to
the remaining side.
Adams ran into the road shouting
for ladder Soon crowl WAS coll
lected and the ladder was fetched.
Too short! Another was found, and
while willing hands were lashing The
ladder together Reuben drove up in
his cart.
When he heard what had happened
he took Johns place in binding the
ladders together, saying:
"You go and tell her what we're
doing. III see to this"
Reuben had the habit of authority,
so John went.
When the ladders were firmly bound
Reuben and two others carried them
through the iron gatessinto the little
park where the crowd stood A mixed
crowd of men, and women and chill
dren stood breathlessly gazing up at
the corner where Emily crouched, her
face covered, not seeming to hear the
encouraging words her lover was
shouting up to her.
Reuben looked at the wall. ''We
must be quick" said he to the man
next to him, ''or it'll be down before
we can get her off" Then after n
moment he added: "It won't bear the
weight of the ladder. Run and fetch
the one off my cart"
This was done, and in a few minutes
the third ladder was pushed through the
rungs of the first about four feet from
the top, making an isosceles triangle.
Two men were placed at the foot OF
each ladder to steady it, ,and the whole
reared sideways against the wall, the
apex almost touching Emily and the
upright reaching up above her head.
John hadn't been of much help he
was like one distraugh', but when all
was ready Reuben turned to him and
said:
''Now tell her to get on the ladder.
Tell her too look up and catch hold of
the frame above her head. Tell her
she is quite SAFE"
John shouted up these instructions,
but without more result than making
Emily half stretch out her hand and
shudderingly cover up her face again.
The demon Funk possessed the girl.
Then Reuben:
''It's all right, Miss Bolton. You
just get on the ladder quick, and
you'll be safe enough. There's half a
dozen of us holding it at the bottom, -
he shouted, encouragingly.
No answer. No movement.

It was with heavy heart that
Emily went to meet her lover the next
day, which was Saturday. and there
fore half holiday. She had not seen
him since she had told Reuben of
their engagement, and was afraid to
hear what Reuben might have said to
John about it.
The first sight of Johns face when
they met reassured her. AS said be-
fore, he was handsome young man,
and as he came smilingly up to her
Emily felt certain that she loved him
dearly, and that he was in every way
more desirable man than Saunders.
Which, strange to say, was not what
she always thought about him in his
absence. After their usual greeting
they turned and walked on together.
