DRINK ENNESS.

The committee appointed by Mayor
Quincy Of Boston to look into the penal
aspect of drunkenness has done some
good work, and has made some recon-
mendations that deserve general atten-
ton. Considering first the public cost
of drunkenness, the committee found
that the cost of arresting drunkards
represents about one-eighth of the total
expense of the Police department. That
would give an average cost of $S.04 for
each arrest, or total for the 26,157 ar
rests in 1898 of $210, 494.74. Adding to
this the cost of maintenance Of those
committed to penal institutions, and
for drunkenness, the net cost is found
to be $316,0120S. The large number of
commitments is due to the inability to
take advantage of the opportunity to
pay a fine, and herein the committee
finds an injustice In IT'S view the sys-
tenn results in Furnishing the innocent
more than the guilty. Mothers, wives
and children suffer in the absence of the
breadwinner, unable to pay the fine,
while those amply able to pay escape
practically without punishment. The
others are virtually imprisoned for debt
Moreover, from a business point of
view, as the committee says, 1t is alb
surd to pretend to recoup the county
for the cost of arresting and trying the
offender by imposing a fine which he
seldom pays, and then boarding him at
public expense from eight to twenty
days, If the method followed produced |

THE PREACHERS PREACHER.

One day a lady asked the doctor:
What is your hobby?"
He replied: preaching madam"
but | mean apart from preaching?'
'There is nothing apart from preach
ing. 1t touches all life," added the
doctor
He does admit, however, that as a
boy he once tried to fish in his native
river. He had leggins on which would
have protected him from the ravages
of the Atlantic. and a rod which would
stretch from Northumberland to New
foundland." Unfortunately his foot
slipped, and he fell into the river and
was half drowned. Since then he has
not touched a rod. He does not even
cycle, he says. II did try to work up

FASHION NOTES.
A skirt That shouldn't Drag.

The correct tailor skirt for street use
positively does not drag. To buy
tweed, serge. homespun or any other
material suitable for street wear, and
to allow it's skirt to trail, is to buy a
dress that Is not suitable for any occa-
sion. Very fine broadcloth, pastel
cloths, delicate camel's hair-any goods,
in fact, for a dress occasion, and to be
worn either in the house or carriage
may trail, Indeed, according to the
present fashion, it should do so, and a
dress of such material and cut should
never appear otherwheres than under a
roof, unless for the moment between
carriage and door. Such a skirt should
never be held up except in the brief
passage from house to carriage. The
held-up long skirt is an abomination In
the street or anywhere else. 1t is ugly
and when released it is crushed and
probably dragged out of place.

Parker said:

Indoor use is thus plainly pointed for
the gown the artist puts here, which
was designed for reception wear 1t
was pinkish gray ladies' cloth, black
silk fringe finishing it's overskirt. On
the bodice sleeve tops, yoke and collar
were, white silk diced with black silk
cord, and black silk embroidery appear
ed on the revers. The rosettes were
black velvet ribbon. Fringe finish Of
this sort has rich look, but one who
goes in for 1t must be prepared for a
lot of bother in caring for 1t. Cleaning
1t Is no easy task, and it must look
fresh or it will seem bedraggled. Then
the way in which much of it pulls out
Is another drawback. To Withstand all
this a good quality is the only wise pur-
chase. Even more perishable are the
fringes provided for evening gowns.
Here is white fringe that Is beautiful
to look at when brand new, but that Is
well nigh ruined when soiled, and that
is soon, for dust and CRIME will show as
quickly here as on black. Some of the
white fringes are enriched with inter
woven /. crystal beads. The beading
makes them prettier. but it does not of
course, protect against soilng so this
sort seems even more wasteful than the
others. FLpRETTE.
