was far better than that of the cloth and velvet dresses with which this fash ion had it's beginning.
 1 Jetted and spangled net robes have not gone out. Their prices have come down so that one can buy them at just about whatever she cares to pay, and at price that makes the selection as eco- nomical as would be any other material, especially if one has silk over which the net can go. All black-that is, black net over black silk or satin--s the best taste. Prices have gone down on the simple spangled and jetted nets because they have risen wonderfully on all-over lace embroidered in chenille and mag nificently encrusted with beads and spangles. These may be worn over silk of some light shade that all the wonder full elaboration may show, or they may be put over black. Hundreds of dollars may go into such gown. The net part will have a f1ounce, and may have an over-dress effect. The woman not ex- pert in black lace or net robe values will know the difference between this sea- sons latest and most expensive and last seasons mark-down. But the new gar ment is. after all, only black net or lace with a flash of jet or spangle. So the simpler leftover remains beautiful. Bodices are seldom more than low neck blouses with sleeves through which the arms show. It is wise to have high neck, sleeved silk bodice go under when you don't want neck and arms to show. The spangled net skirt over black is sometimes used as separate skirt, with fancy light colored silk waist, at the theater, but the idea is not good one

hand brake and a brake which grips the rails by means of cheek pieces. In accordance with the recommenda- tion of parliament, the British navy is being strengthened by the addition of
 remarkable new gun. It is known as
 the twelve-inch steel and wire gun, and
 is not only the best weapon which the
 royal navy has ever had but is claimed
 to be far superior to any gun pos
 sessed by foreign navy. It weighs
 fifty tons, is forty-one feet long and
 has muzzle velocity of 2,367 feet per
 second. The projectile weighs $50
 pounds, the bursting charge being
 eighty-three pounds and the firing
 charge 167 1-2 pounds of cordite. The
 admiralty has ordered 450 at cost of
 $50,000 each. Of these 150 have been
 completed and 300 are still in the hands of the contractors Each man-of- war
 will carry four of these formidable weapons, and when the navy is sup piled they will be issued to forts on the sea fronts. The new gun will be the heaviest in the service and will take the place of the 110-ton, 100-ton and eighty-ton guns, of which no more are to be made. The best Krupp gun can fire a shot twelve and one-half miles, and the United States govern ment is constructing at the arsenal at Watervliet a monster gun which, it is said, will carry heavy shot twenty one miles. The new British naval gun, though less than half the weight of the American weapon, mounted on the heights of Dover, can, however, drop a shell on the shores of France. No accuracy of aim could, of course be ob- tained or maintained at this long dis tance, the effective range being 16,OOO yards, or between nine and ten miles

The Germans are intelligent. Our system of publishing consular reports, dealing with the industrial and com mercial conditions of other countries, and giving information valuable to our manufacturers and producers who are interested in export trade has proven of such great value that the German government has decided to adopt it.. It's pamphlets are entitled "Advices for Commerce and Industry" and a late issue directs particular attention to the United States as market for the sale of German goods.

FASHION NOTES,
Velvet and Cloth Combined Sensib

Velvet and Cloth Combined sensibly
 Cloth and velvet in combination arc much favored by stylish women, an6 Tn most of the gowns that advance thi: fashion velvet enters into the bodice as well as into the skirt. Thus the two are made inseparable. More sensible planning is shown in suits of which the pictured one is an example. Its jacket bodice was black and white striped vel vet. That means expense, but on the other hand the striped velvets are very stylish. The skirt was pinkish gray cloth, box-pleated at sides and back, stitched half way down the seams and finished with narrow black silk cord. This get-up was essentially up to date, and as each of it's parts could be worn with another bodice or skirt its scheme

Ian Maclaren says that there should be such thing as compulsory retire. ment of every clergyman when he reaches the age of sixty. At certain age, Mr. Maclaren declares the minis ter's mind crystallizes and becomes im- pervious to new ideas, and he is then but brake upon the coach that is car rying passengers to celestial regions "Foolish people, mostly old ladies, will tell him that he never preached so ably as he did last Sunday. and he will in- cline his ear that this little circle of admirers, and will refuse the advice of sensible men who have his welfare at heart, and who suggest to him that he should of his own accord resign the of- flee that he has so honorably filled. So 1t will come to pass that church and city will see one of the saddest trag- edies-a man scattering the congrega- ton he once gathered and flinging away the reputation he once won.''

J. Eads How, of St. Louis, who has refused to accept $1,OOo,OOO inherited from his relatives because he has not earned 1t by his own labors, has given $2O0O to be expended flor the public welfare" This represents the interest on sum he keeps in bank to enable him to prosecute his work of relieving distress among the poorer classes. It is .'unearned increment" he says, and therefore he refuses to use it himself. As matter of fact, it is very seldom that he spends any money on his own account. He left his mansion in Lindell Boulevard to live among the poorest classes in St. Louis. He conducts the Mission Home at Ninth and Washing ton streets. One room and kitchen constitute his home. He is a nephew of the late James B. Eads, who built the bridge across the Mississippi River at St. Louis, He was educated at an Eastern college, and while travelling af- terward in Europe conceived the idea of devoting his life to the poor.

! STEADY was the quotation made on hogs
yesterday at most Of the western points,

hogs on the market at all the recetv-
Eng points and the total receipts all over
were very high It was an or day at
all Of them, ana the run being so light
there was consequent want Of enthu-
BiasIn since also the quality was generally
poor and the weight very light The local
market was wanting in hogs, and only
the wagon division was represented and
this was very small. There was a good
demand all through the day and the local
packing call was sufficient to take in ma
ny times the number Of hogs offered. But
as a matter Of fact there Is an evident
lack Of hoRs In the country. and not
enough to supply the call which il daily
made for them. This market has hight
along paid very high prices for only or
binary hogs, and lights and medium lights
have received as strong a price as the
better grades. And yet, though the ship
pers have no complaint as to the market,
and have always done well of late, the
receipts have beea light. Yesterday and
the day before they were practically moth
ing and yet hte comparative showing for
this market was very good. Five lower
was announced for one Of them and not
better than steady was given for any.
The week has shown UP well for tone Of
the market, and very keen and active as
10 demand. but the receipts have fallen
below what they should have been AID
what was hoped for. Many times as
many hogs were waited and bid for than
game in. and the prices paid by the Dold
company all the week have been close to
Kansas City top prices. and more than
sn line with all the others. Yesterday
the quality was good for the few hogs
received. but there was not enough to be
interesting.
