to take up such fancy unless rem
nants of lace or fur can be worked and
even then there is danger of a result
that will look ruinously patlhy.
In the accompanying picture is a
beautiful example of the lace dresses.
1t was composed of cream Brussels lace
over white satin. It's underskirt was
very full. lace ruffle finished the over
skirt and heavy cream lace supplied the
yoke. White satin appeared in collar,
fringed sash and crush sleeves. This
overskirt is noticeable for it's looseness,
and indicates that dress designers are
making experiments toward Dolly Var
den outlines.
A material made of rows of ribbon
alternating with rows Of lace insertion
is handsome newcomer 1t comes in
all degrees of delicacy. Clever fingers
can put together for themselves the
ribbon and lace at about half the cost
of the ready made, and the effect is
just as dainty. Rather heavy lace is
used, as rule, and the ribbon is either
satin or velvet. Coral pink with yellow
lace is pretty. Nile green ribbon and
yellow ribbon are also com bined with
yellow lace. This material is used chief
ly for fancy waists. FLORETTE.

THE FIGHT AGAINsT TIE PLAGUE,

|
THE FIGHT AGAINST TIE Plague,
| vaccination against smallpox has
got itself generally approved, although
at first its opponents were many and
bitter, and there are a few now who
| still condemn it. incubation against
| the plague has just come up for discus
| sion, and it will have to go the usual
course before it is generally approved.
| If it ever is. But some valuable testi-
mony in its favor was given by the
Viceroy of India, at recent meeting at
Poona. He has given proof of his faith
by submitting to the operation himself.
He does not claim to be an expert, but
says that when he finds that out of one
hundred plague seizures among uninoc-
ulated persons, the average number of
deaths is about 70 to so per cent, while,
in a corresponding number of cases
among inoculated persons, the proper
tons are entirely reversed and 70 to 80
per cent, if not more, are saved-and
these calculations have been furnished
from more than one responsible quarter
figures of that kind cannot fail to
carry conviction, and he does not see
how, in the face Of them, it is possible
for any to doubt the value of the pro-
cess. No one claims, he adds, that it is
an infallible safeguard. It's effects are
apt to be obliterated in the passage of
time, and 1t acts differently with differ
ent persons. There are some constitu-
lions to which it Is apparently entirely
unsuited. Unless serum is most care
fully administered, as well as scrupu-
lousy prepared, there Is, moreover,
danger from contamination. But that
incubation has saved thousands and
thousands of lives which would other
wise have been lost, and gives to the
patient more than reasonable chance
of recovery, that, in spite Of it's theoret-
ic conflict with the conservatism of In
dian feeling and with the traditions Of
native medicine, the majority of the
most distinguished native medical
in the country are already
in it's favor, and that more and more |
are being made from the re-
mainder each day, are propositions
which, he declares, cannot be disputed.

The report of the inspector of customs
of China, covering the year 1885, has
lust been received in Washington, and
II contains some very interesting facts
For instance. it shows an increase OF
nearly 40 per cent. in imports into China
from the United States, while the in
crease in total imports into China for
the year was only per cent. over the
previous year. The imports into China
from the United States in 1898 were H.
1853, 312 haikwan taels, against 12,44o,5o2
taels in 1897, an increase of 4,723,olO
taels. The imports from Great Britain,
our greatest rival in oriental trade, fell
from 4O,O15,5S7 taels in 1897 to 1852 Ala
taels in 1898. Assuming that all the i'm
ports into China from Hong Kong were
of European origin, and combining
them with Great Britain, they make
total of 146, 376, 946 taels in value for 1898,
against las, 457, 1926 taels in 1897, showing

To the Editor Of the Journal and Ccur

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
1t is gratifying to learn through
your columns that in at least one city
of this country (San Francisco) primary
school education Is to be brought back
to the old fashion basis of the three RS,
and it is TOT be hoped that the old fash
Toned methods of instruction will be re-
sumed also. If Mr.. Fox accomplishes
nothing more in the stirring UP he Is
giving OF our school system, than to
consolidate the dissatisfied feeling
which now SO widely prevails among
the patrons of our public schools and
arouse it to some action which will
bring about a similar reform here, he
will have conferred a lasting benefit on
our community. When the graduates
of our grammar schools are as rule
unable to spell correctly and when a
graduate of our High School Is found
hunting over the map of Europe to find
Egypt Ga fact) 1T certainly seems as II
there was something defective in the
methods of education which are in
vogue here. The question over super
visors dwindles into insigniticance in
comparison with the wider question
whether young children should be
taught to know few essential branch
es Of knowledge accurately and we'll or
whether their minds should be crammed
with learning beyond their years which
must be imperfectly and is often mac
curately acquired by what is called
observation" so Josh Billings wisely
remarked: ut is better not to know so
many things, than to know many things
that amt SOL Believing Mr.. Fox is do
ing good service in bringing these views
to the public attention l desire to give
his labors this small need of encourage
ment. III. r. BLAKE.

THE REAL QUESTION.

The meeting last evening of the COM
system in the public schools OF New
Haven was not as thoroughly polite as
we hoped it would be, and as it ought
to have been. Still, it was interesting
and very significant in spots. Read
our full and accurate report of it.
Leaving out of consideration for the
moment what Tennyson aptly calls
''the windy ways of men," it may not
be improbable to take a calm look at
the real question which is before the
committee and the public. This ques-
ton at times seems to be in danger of
being obscured, but it will not be per
manently obscured. There is a feeling
in this and other communities that
there has been too great departure
from. and too great an addition to, use
full and necessary teaching in the pub
receive the attention they ought to, and
that "the frills'' receive too much. There
is a feeling that children who must
work for their daily bread when they
are old enough viii not be benefited by
the frills'' in proportion to the time
and money spent on them. This feel
ing Is, we think, growing and sooner
or later it will make itself apparent in
a way that cannot be misunderstood or
craftily nullified. The special en-
deavor of this investigation is,
or ought to be, to find out
whether educators in their zeal and
their theories have overloaded the
school system with too much
costly supervision Surely this en-
deavor is legitimate and would
be useful if properly treated. I'll
the end it will be useful however treat
ed, and we begin to think that the
worse it is treated now the more useful
it will ultimately be.
Those who have been obstructing the
investigation are mistaken in their idea
of it and in their estimation of public
opinion. The public is taking a deep
interest in what Is going on, and it is
able to discern the right and the wrong
of it. Superintendent Kendall has, we
are glad to say, shown wisdom and
goodwill in his readiness to answer the
questions put to him and to do what he
can to enlighten the committee and the
taxpayers for whom he works, 1t is
a pity that some Of the members of the
Board OF Education have not shown
equal wisdom and good WILL 1t is also
a pity that some of the members of the
committee have not
shown correct appreciation of their
relations to the question, the witnesses
and the public.

FASHION NOTEs.


A new kind of waist Is of all-over
lace, so cleverly matched that no fas-
tening shows. This is drawn from
throat to belt smoothly over taffeta
lining, and Is sure to set off the figure
finely. Sometimes the taffeta is cut low
neck and short seeved, allowing the
flesh to show through the lace. Black
lace embroidered at the edges with white
Is laid over white or black silk. The
kinds of all-over net are too numerous
to name. Renaissance holds it's own,
so do Irish crochets and Russians, but
there are a lot of embroidered nets and
valenciennes all-overs that bid for and
deserve favor. Lace embroidered in fur

the disadvantages of the ordinary bells.
Whatever the notes that are to be furn-
ished, the tubes that give them are of
constant diameter and thickness for
the various tones, and differ only in
length. The result is great saving in
metal and the possibility of obtaining
notes with mathematical precision Such
an advantage is not slight one, since
