WAR REVENUE BILL,
Secretary Gage Recommends Exten.
sion of Certain Sections.

The Secretary of the Treasury cent to
Congress a recommendation that the time
fixed when the sections of the new war
revenue act relating to adhesive stamps
shall go into effect be extended from July
to July Il, and also that the rate of dis
count on purchases of $3.50 worth or more
be increased from 1 to 3 per cent AL
though the force of the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing is rushing the work of
getting out the stamps with all possible
speed, 1t is found that il will be utterly
impossible to have them ready and dis
triouted generally throughout the country
within the next ten days allowed by Con-
sress- To attempt to cover the entire coun-
try in proper way by the 1st of the COM
ing. month, it is said. must result in dis
aster and an almost endless amount Of
business complications.
II is also stated that the / per cent COM
mission allowed to persons for selling these
stamps is altogether Inadequate 10 induce
merchants and others to purchase stamps
in the quantities required for resale The
result, it is said, would be that no general
distribution would be possible and almost
universal confusion would follow During
the last war the discount allowed dealers
was per cent, and the experience of the
internal revenue bureau was that the
stamps were disposed of in great uuanti-
ties with difficulty. and almost every
bank. store and shop in the country kept
u EN- on sale. and as they were paid for in
ADVANCE, losses TO the treasury were i'm
possible. The Secretary, however, believes
that the same results can now be obtained
at per cent discount, and so recommends
to Congress-

TAFFErAs FOR EVENING.
some MOdish Ways OF Making Up One
Of the Seasons Most Pop
ular Fabrics.

The plain taffetas are the smartest at
present for evening wear, and they
come in the most fascinating shades
the blues, the pinks, the greens, and
the yellows are colors among which
II Is hard to make a choice. They all
look so dainty and fresh, and have such
pretty sheen to them, and light up
so well, that it Is hard not to buy more
than one of them.
Most of the evening gowns now are
made with the skirt and waist OF the
same material, but white lace waists,
both high and low, are also worn with
tafleta skirts. 4 very pretty model has
the skirt of pale blue trimmed with
ruchings Of white gauze ribbon, put on
high at the back, and then low down
in front in long sweeping lines. The
body Of the waist is made quite full in
front, but very tight-fitting at the
sides, with a tremendous bias cut, and
some fullness at the back drawn in
under the belt Around the shoulders
the trimming is bertha of plated white
mousseline de sole cut in squares and
edged with Valenciennes lace. The
sleeves are small puffs almost covered
with pieces Of the bertha, which falls
over them. The sash is Of white taffeta
tied in a bow at the back.
Another gown, this is Of cream-white
taffeta, has a deep flounce trimmed with
bands of white sash ribbon. The waist
has a basque at the back, and In front
a long point. II Is cut V-shape, and has
folds of the silk turned back 10 show a
small pointed vest Of satin plisse Gov
cred with white lace. The sleeves are
very small, and in two puffs, covered
with lace caps. There is no sash to this
gown, but from the side seams TO the
front are pieces of satin ribbon which
fasten at the waist line with q very
elaborate buckle Of rhinestones. The
gown is exceedingly dainty and simple
and most becoming.
The very newest fad Of the senson is
the revival of an old fashion-the silk
visite which our grandmothers wore. il
consists of a little coat made of taifeta
which can be worn with any skirt, no
only of silk, but other materials al
well. The prettiest model is made will
the back IN basque shapei me ironu
loose. but with long tabs; the sleeves
very small, with a cap over the top
and high turned-back collar facedwitl
some bright color. The silk is covered
with tiny cording or shirring put in a
fantastic a pattern as can be devised
1t is not supposed to be lined, and /
TO be worn either over a thin shirt
waist or with a false front. 1t Is hell
in place by narrow belt which goe
under the front pieces. It has not a
yet appeared. except at private dress
makers, but is already becoming
craze. For women who cannot wen
shirt waists there Is nothing smarte
or cooler. OF course, it is not a yer
easy model to make at home, but II
a possible one, and a very good one

POVERTY IN INDIA.
Food II Exported and Yet People In
That o6untry starve for
Want of IL.

Thus one sees that the population
OF India, q most fertile country inhab-
tied by a most frugal people, increases
ataslower rate than that of manyin Eu-
rope, at about the same rate as Japan,
and at slower rate than that Of many
native states within its own borders;
that Iadia suffers under poverty
whichiscontinually increasing; that tho
signs OF poverty are to be found in dis
tricts whero the population is even d.
minishing; that OF the otherstates with
which one has compared il, though rep
resenting a great range Of civilization
and prosperity, some rich and some
poor, none shows so hopeless o degree
OF poverty; and that, nevertheless, one
is asked to consider the increase OF It's
population as the main source Of It's
misery one obstacle which thwarts
the good intentions of beneflcent and
enlightened government.
Finally, when one hears OF "over-pop-
ulation" as the cause Of Indian poverty,
Is II meant that the people are too
numerous for the land to supply them
win foodf Food Is exported from
India every year, so that cannot be the
meaning. Is II meant that they cannot
purchase foreign goods, having, in con-
sequence Of the pressure OF numbers,
to expend all their energies in raising
food? The export Of raw cotton, opium
and jute is sufficient TO pay for the cot
ton goods, which are the only foreign
manufactures the mass Of the Indians
use. The indians need no foreign lux
uries; they export food. and yet one is
told there is "over-population." But
there is sne thing one has forgotten
There is one foreign luxury, the most
expensive Of all luxuries, and in that
the people of India are forced 10 indulge
the luxury of alien government and
alien exploitation.-India.

Growth of EyDloratior.

The uttermost parts of the earth have
never been so sought out as at present,
and the antarctic is now attracting at
tention as well as the arctic. A Belgian
expedition sailed few months ago for
the antarctic region, and the Royal
Geographical society, London, has de
termined to take upon itself the respcn-
sibility of organizing private expedi-
ton to the same, though the expecta-
ton is that government aid will con-
tribute to the success OF the important
undertaking. All that is claimed to be
known of the antarctic at the present
time is that no approach to the south
pole nearer than 72O miles has ever been
recorded; icy barriers exist which
eclipse those of the north pole, and
mountains have been discovered of
lofty attitudes, some of these being vol
canoes. Further, the surface is covered
with snow at all times of the year; no
human being has been met south of Sc
degrees, no vegetation of any account
beyond 5S degrees, and no land quadru-
ped is known to exist beyond 6S de-
grees.-N. T. Sun.
