ample around the bottom The corsage
fits snugly in the back and is gathered
in few scarcely noticeable plaits in
front. The revers, very wide and cut
square, are of white cloth, richly en-
broidered with black chenille. The yoke
is striped laterally with bands of dark
red cloth edged with black velvet. The
collar and girdle are of ''army blue"
velvet.
Tt is often good plan when the cos
tune is in dark shade say blue, black
dark brown or green, to make the revers
of silk in contrasting light shade, such
as light red, turquoise, etc. The revers
are then partially covered with designs
executed in black braid, guipure or ap-
plications of lace Lace insertions are
also favored for this purpose by many
who are acknowledged leaders of fashion

Thaw Your Own Pipes.

THE plumbers are reaping a harvest
all over this section of the country
thawing out the water pipes which the
recent very cold weather frOZe up. In
Kenosha numerous holes have been
dug into the earth and all the plumbing
force of the city is ensconced therein
tinkering with the pipes at the rate of
from rs cents to ST. an hour. This
monopoly on fresh water, which nature
has aided the plumbers in getting, is a
great draught on the pocket book OF
the unfortunate citizen and suitable
bonanza for the modest plumber. But
the day is past when frozen pipes
and plumbers shall be a menace to the
good nature and exchequer of the victim
lied taxpayer. All the blasts of Boreas
contain no further terror so far as
frozen pipes are concerned and the
willy plumber will have to take back
seat while each party whose pipes
have been frozen, does his own thaW-
ing out without any expense to himself
and with consumption of only very
small fraction of the time formerly oc-
cupied by the hired plumber
For this most gratifying condition of
affairs the public are indebted to Pro-
fessors Wood and Jackson, of the state
university. To them is due the happy
discovery that all our frozen water
pipes can be thawed out by means OF
electricity without the aid of the
plumber, and in a very short time
and without any danger of bursted
pipes. It is accomplished by
means of the passage of a current O
electricity through the pipes. Suitable
appliances can be easily obtained anC
according to the report of the inventors
it's application can result in no danger
to the pipes.

AT the present time, when inter-
national relations are rather unstable,
and the newly acquired responsibilities
of the United States make it imperative
that the various branches of her gov
eminent be in the ablest hands it is 10
less than suicidal to retain in Office a
man whom careful, patient and I'M
prejudiced investigation has proved to
be unfit. Russell A. Alger, Secretary
of the Navy, has been weighed in the
balance and found wanting, therefore,
it is Russell A. Ayers duty to resign.
Under present circumstances the Office
he holds is of unusual Importance. He
has been pronounced honest, but
incompetent. We choose to regard
him as honest, but if he is SO he will
not wait for an invitation before vacat-
ing his office in favor of more capable
SUCCESSOR.

IT appears that Rear Admiral George
Dewey, hero of Manila bay, is destined
to become an admiral of the full grade
and have his term of service extended
ten years. In the House Thursday
Representative Moody, of Massachu-
setts, offered an amendment to the
naval appropriation bill authorizing
the revival of the grade of admiral in
the navy and directing the President
to fill that office by promotion. The
offer was made unanimous by the
House. Not voice was raised in the
negative. Instantly on the adoption of
the amendment a shout of approval
went up from the members and the
crowds in the gallery. Such is the
Dol ularity of Rear Admiral Dewey.
There is no other fitting reward for his
heroic services to his country. His
promotion to the highest position in the
American navy would be hailed with
an outburst of delight from every
quarter of the Republic.
