THE SKIRT PUZZLES WOMEN.

They Cannot Remember Seeing Anything
Like 1t Before.
There are so many changing styles
in skirts the average person can scarce
ly keep up with them. The very newest
skirt is so decidedly new no one can
remember to have seen anything like
it. Not even old portraits show it or
heroines in out-of-date novels. 1t is
made absolutely without fullness in Ell
Their back or front, not even so much
as wrinkle. The top is perfectly plain
and smooth, fitted to the figure only
by gore on each hip and extending
to the knees in front, while the lower
part is graduated Spanish affair cut
on the bias that falls easily in godets
to flare at the bottom. 1t fastens in
the front, at the left side usually, but
some of them hook or button behind,
still without the least sign of fold
or plat. Some of the skirts are elab-
orately braided in barbarous design,
Win twists and turns and huge circles
and crossbars, and some are embroid-
cred or stitched in bias rows and Greek
lines. But, however trimmed, the new
skirt is the newest thing Dame Fash
ion has produced for a long time.

CITIZENS OF wA1T-A-wHILE.

Curious Controversy In Australin
Over the Name Of Station.
A curious dispute has been settled in
New South Wales. on the railway be-
tween Berrigan and Finley there is a
station named Wait-a-Wihle. The rail-
way authorities in Sydney have long
regarded this appellation Of depot on
such q business route as the Finley
line as a satire on their operations, and
they intimated to the residents Of the
district q desire to alter the name to
Hurry on There" Side Please"
or some other phrase pregnant with up
to-date railway life and movement.
This radical proposal resulted in VIC
lent protests from the residents Of
Wait-a-While who said that the name
had been good enough for their faith
ers and for them, and that it would
have to suit the railroad magnates way
up In Sydney. The parties have been
in severe conflict for some time, but
ultimately the commissioners have
given way, and the romantic cogno-
men will Observation-Disclosures Gazette.

MANlTOBA'S CAPACITY,
Enough Wheat to Supply Britain All
She Requires from Abroad.

Enough Wheat to Supply Britain All
She Requires from Abroad.
Toronto, Nov. 10.-The world"
comments on the report of the United
Empire trade league on the capacity of
Canada as granary for Britain. The
report refers to Manitoba as follows:
Manitoba has an area of forty-seven
million acres. Deducting ten million
for lakes, rivers, town sites and waste
land, 100000 acres are left for farm
cultivation or homes for 10000 famil
les on 900 acres each, and as up to now
there are only $4,000 farmers there al
together, that leaves room in one prov
ince for S9,0os more wheat growers.
Supposing, then. we got them there
and each one of them out of his 800
acres grew on an average 100 acres at
20 bushels to the acre; if you figure it
up you will find it is quite possible for
Manitoba alone to supply us with all
the wheat we require from abroad. 1t
is only a question of money and COM
paratively speaking not money either.
The cost of one first-class battleship
(about f750,000) would put 5000 fam
lilies onto farms in the Northwest, al
lowing f150 to each to find them in
implements, seeds, horses, etc., and
would keep them until their first crop
was harvested. Five thousand farm
ers, averaging 100 acres of wheat each
at 20 bushels to the acre, means an
extra 100000 bushels, for if that
scheme is not liked Britain would put
duty on foreign wheat. In addition
to the wheat lands of Manitoba there
are the millions of acres in Assiniboia,
Alberta and Saskatchewan.

the wound, before the poison has hau
time to soak through 1t, he is in no
danger whatever.
On the other hand, If there is already
a wound or sore on the body, then even
a blow from fangless cobra will be
fatal. Snake-charmers are we'll aware
of this fact, and are particularly care
full on such occasions as the following.
A band of these men were exhibiting
before the writer, when, after a few
odd feats, they proceeded to show
graphically how cobra strikes it's
prey. They produced a magnificent
specimen, fully five feet in length and
as thick as ones wrist-though, of
course, fangless. One of the men
struck up monotonous tune on wind
instrument, something like Highland
bagpipe. The cobra Immediately
reared its head fully two feet from the
ground, and began swaying its body
gracefully in time with the music in
evident pleasure. Then one of the
other men took off his tunic and stood
was carefully examined to see that
there was not so much as scratch on
it. He knelt down about two feet in
front of the cobra and waited.
Suddenly, at a given signal, the mu
sic stopped. In fierce anger the cobra
launched forth at the kneeling figure
as being the nearest-but, almost ST.
multaneously with the stoppage of the
music, the man dropped his head on his
knees and received the blow on his
barred back. The cobra paused just one
second after striking and then turned
on its head and fell off. There was a
huge drop of poison on the back of the
performer! He wiped it off carefully
with a piece of cloth and proceeded
with the rest of the performance.

TEACH A CHILD TO THINK,
From Infancy the Mother Should Study

FROM Infancy the Mother Should Study
to Promote Its Mental Growth.
Froebel's Mother Play book is full
of the richest suggestions as to how
the everyday life of the nursery can
be made to yield up. its treasures Of oil
and wine, goodness and truth, for both
baby and mother. He shows very
clearly there that while it is easy to
keep in sympathy with child-nature,
and for many mothers to provide for
the varying ceaseless activities, yet
that to really understand the origin
and end of this activity an earnest
study of the human mind in it's indi-
vidual and social relations is also need
ed. The mother must learn that
thought and feeling, as we'll as nerve
and muscle, have their pulsations,
their 'rhythms, their periods of greater
or less activity. She must learn that
to try to work against these laws writ
ten in the whole being Of the child is
but Kicking against the pricks." She
will learn that just as there is seed
time and harvest, and the work of the
one period cannot be done except in
that period, so the child cannot be
made to take on certain states of mind
and heart. To take up certain studies
when he has not yet reached the time
in which such mental or heart nourish-
ment is demanded is but to block the
wheels to true, logical, orderly de-
velopment of all the faculties. She
will learn that a child's interests can
not be ignored and other interests for
eign to his present stage of growth sub
stituted for his own. She will study
books like Donelson's Growth Of the
Brain" or Warmers ''The Study of the
Child" to find true physical basis for
education, and then strive to gain
clearer, larger view of all those psyche
logical questions which bear on mental
development. To this will be added a
true knowledge of those principles
which make for better understanding
of the child as spiritual being. 1t is
not hard to do all this if you will look
at life from the child's standpoint, giy-
ing him your own loving instructive
sympathy.-Alice H. Putnam in Wom-
ans Home Companion.

SILVER REPUBLICANS
TO CONVENE SHORTLY
Senator Pettigrew and Congressman
Towne Of the Executive Com
mittee in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Nov. Ex-senator Pettigrew
Of South Dakota and ex-Congressman
Towne of Minnesota, members of the Ma
tional executive committee of the Silver
Republican party are in Chicago. A con-
ference Of the executive committee will be
held here on Tuesday, at which plans for
the coming Presidential campaign will be
discussed.
Alliance with the Democratc party in
the coming campaign will be the upper
most topic OF discussion. Mr.. Towne, in
discussing the political situation, said:
IF Congress this winter, in response 10
the demand of the President, destroys
the bond-paying value OF silver. calls in
silver certificates and reissues gold-paying
certificates. the silver question viii be the
leading issue in the next Presidential
campaign. Such action on the part of
Congress would furnish an entirely diff
ferent proposition from that which con-
fronted the President in the last cam
paign. The Republican party won because
OF the fear OF the ratio OF l6 TO l. The
adoption OF the Gage and Mckinley finan-
cial plan by Congress would mean the
contraction OF the currency Of the country
and the people would be confronted with
a fact not a theory. IN the battle OF
standards. The silver question is not dead
in American political affairs"

BOISE, Idaho. Nov Ex-senator Shoup
and family left to-day for Washington,
but viii stop a day in Salt Lake. In an
Interview before leaving the Senator said
the time was ripe, in his opinion, for
Congress to take acton with respect TO
Hawaii and Porto Rico. He said we know
as much now about the needs OF those
islands as We could know after another
year, and he favored the enactment of
such legislation as shall appear 10 be
necessary. He did not think It would be
practicable 10 legislate for the Philippines
or for Cuba at this time.
Speaking OF Cuba, the Senator said he
was IN favor OF continuing the occupation
Cnu! the Leading people Of the island
shall have had full opportunity 10 deter
mine what they desire for the future.
After they have had this opportunity TO
make up their minds intelligently on the
subject, the question of the future of the
islands should be put 10 a vote among
them. II they desire annexation TO the
United States they will so declare at the
Dallot-box, and the Senator added. IF
they decide In favor Of annexation every-
body In the United States Will be glad OF

Referring in a general way to the ques-
tons arising as result OF the war with
Spain, Senator Shoup said he was in
hearty accord with the policy Of the ad-
ministration on every point and II would
be his pleasure 70 give his support TO the
plans OF the Government respecting the
management of our new possessions and
the treatment OF Cuba.
Referring particularly 10 the Philippines
the Senator said he favored the policy of
crushing the rebellion. He was OF the
opinion thai the war proper was at an
end, but there would probably be a guer-
rilla campaign maintained for a year.

cluder, ''is 10 put down the rebellion It

LONDON CHRONICLES
EDITOR FORCED OUT

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The World cable
from London says: II. W. Massinghams $
resignation of the editorship OF the Daily
Chronicle is a striking example Of the ex-
tent to which jingo influences dominate
the Liberal party.
The World correspondent has authority
for stating that Mr.. Massingham was re-
quested by the propretors of the Chroni-
Gle TO suspend all further criticism OF the
South African policy of the Government
while the war continues, but as Mr.. Mac
singham had taken a strong anti-jingo
line he refused TO stultify himself by ac-
ceding to this extraordinary request, and
resigned
Through this receding of the Chronicle
the only influential London daily which
has opposed jingoism disappears. II is
believed that its proprietors were impelied
TO this change Of front by ministerial and
other influences actuated by the extreme
gravity of the South African situation and
the imperative necessity for suppressing
all criticism Of the war and exposure Of
its apparently inevitable result by inde-
pendent newspapers. II is rumored trat
similar steps have been taken to silence
the Evening Echo, which followed the
Chronicle lines.
