 'To aid in this development an in dustrial, commercial and scientific mu- scum has recently been established at Magma. The manufacturers of the United States are invited to make per- manent exhibits of their goods there without charge. The advantages of this arrangement are manifest The exhibit, as l have said, is permanent. 1t will save the manufacturer who is seeking a market for his goods in Cen tral America the expense of maintain ing an agent there.'
 The consul=general of Costa Rica Juan T. Ulloa, iii speaking of the newly created republic, said; Costa Eica is deeply interested in the outcome of the experiment.. It will be watched with the greatest interest there, and if it gives peace and good government to the three states, not only Costa Rfca, but Guatemala also will unquestionably join it.
 "The burden of popular sentiment in the state has for years been in this di- reetion.
 "The benefits of a union would be many. Guatemala, with her northern boundary line open to dispute with Mexico, in particular would profit by closer alliance with her sister states.
 Tt has only the fear of becoming in volved that kept Costa Bica from join iEg the federation.
 We want to be sure that it will con tinue before step so radical is taken. ,

 Costa Riea and Guatemala have a combined area about equal to that of the new republic and population of 1,681, ,447. They may yet be drawn into the federation.
 The combination has been under con- sideration for years, but it was not nn- ltif September, 1896, that the republic was actually formed
 It was first established by treaty un- der the name of "The Greater Republic of Central America, one delegate from each state constituting a provisional government, having it's headquarters at Amapala,
 On November 1, 1898, the name was changed to 'gThe United States of Cen tral America, and the capital moved to Chinandega.
 The work of organizing the eonfed- eracy has been going forward actively since 1896. This work has been done by delegates from three states.

Being only a captain generalship the scale of public expenditures was kept down in defer. enee to the higher pretensions of the Spanish yieeroyalists, and as it's finan- cial needs were few, taxation pressed lightly upon the people.

the former country can take no decisive steps in the matter without first gain ing the consent of Costa Rica.
 "The position held by Costa Rica, in fact, is such that she can block any move she does not approve of, but she desires the canal; the states of Central America are a unit in that"
 Politics of an extremely lively brand have always fourished in Central America. They have cursed the coun- try with deadly industrial stupor. Emigration and capital have gone else where.

With firm and stable government we hope to attract emigration. It is probable that eventually Guatemala and Costa Rica will come into the fed eration. This would greatly benefit the former country, as its boundary line disputes with Mexico may any day lead to serious complications.
 The republic is friendly to the canal. There is every reason why it should be, for if it is built it will unquestionably do much to develop the three states,

anything TO do with was Mr. Smith;
but then Bfr. Smith would have been
on friendly terms with any son of Kan
thippe who had happened to live next
door.
It chanced one day that Mr.. Smith
needed a certain kind of auger that
he didn't havc. He knew, however,
that Neighbor Hastings had the very
thing he wanted, so he went over and
asked to borrow IL.

THE HOTEL WOMAN.
She Lends n Lonely, Aimless, wretcb-
ed Existence.


A writer who knows more about the
ways Of women apparently than Bal
zac and de Maupassant combined has
been giving them some advice on the
subject of home life. He is nothing If
not sympathetic, and grows quite pa
thetic over the misguided female who
prefers TO live in q hotel where mo
duties call her" and where there is
nothing "to exercise her ingenuity or
develop her womanly talents" to keep
ing house in "some corner in this big
world which they can call their own,
their very own" This is heartrending,
but nothing compared 20 the state Of
mind OF the hotel wife when her hus-
band leaves her ia the morning. Ac-
cording to this same writer "she turns
back into the room and wonders what
she can do during the day, how shewill
employ herself, where she will go.
There is nothing in her room to appeal
to her TO stay there. No home duties
confront her. There is nothing in her
life; two-thirds Of herself lies dor
mant." In fact, so desperate is her
loneliness that she is actually glad
when the time comes for her husband to
come home; glad to feel that she has
some one to whom she can talk"
What a remarkable young woman !
But the young husband is as badly of
almost as his wife. To him material
considerations appeal. He grieves be-
cause "the furniture around them is
not their own; nothing around him is
bis; everything is by lease, his for a
time for 80 much money; and after he
is through paying for It he leaves it be-
hind''-which is at least comforting

BRIGHT TARTANs.
A Perfect Craze over brilliant PIaids
in silk and Wool.

I'm silk and Wool.
There is a perfect craze over brilliant
plaid things. Tartan silks, tartan
woods, tartan ribbons and even tartan
mcusseline de sole, which is beautiful
and novel. The colors in these plaid
things arc the most vivid and brilliant
that can be imagined. and the more
colors the better liked. Tartan velvets
are lovely, and whole blouses are made
of them, fitted In with black satin
ceintures and finished off with a ruche
of black moussellne dc sole above the
stock, which Is Of tartan velvet.
Whole gowns are made Of the tartan
woods, and are very bright and attrac-
tive when worn by young women, but
the middle-aged and elderly should be-
WIRE, as they make anyone but the
really youthful look ridiculous, writes
an American woman from Hamburg.
Plaid silks have long been worn, yet
they do not lose in favor. and some Of
the crisp, plaid taffetas are stunning
when made up with plain-colored celn-
lures and stocks
Plaid felt hats are the very latest ex-
treme Of fashion. They are trimmed
with perfectly plain colors, many os-
trich plumes, wings and paradise
plumes. They should never be worn
together with tartan gowns, for that
makes too much plaid and too much
chopped up coloring.
Plaid stockings have long been dis
played in fashionable shop windows,
and are worn by men as well as women.
The plaid bicycle hose and those for
golf are very pretty in Scotch wool.
They are worn man fashion, turned over
at the top, and with the short golf or
bicycle skirt are very fetching. They
are worn great deal here by the en-
thusiasts of each sport.
There are also plaid kilt skirts for
golf in bright colors, and with these
either red blouses or red coats are
worn, for the red coat is the badge Of
golf the world over, and to be really
Scotch when playing one must have
something tartan and something red.

tsrlstlc for the golf maidens. They are
sometimes IN plain color and sometimes
