FASHION NOTES.
PIaids Plain and Trimmed.

Separate cloth skirts in big and high ly colored plaids are seen occasionally, and have a good degree of distinction if only the plaid Is not one of the old timers. But such are usually perfectly plain; indeed, it would take a practced eye to devise tasteful trimmings for such conspicuous weaves. Naturally, then, there is call for plaid skirts that are trimmed and in the dressmaker' s response resort is had to silks. One of these new gowns appears in this picture.

British West Africa is rapidly being civilized. The exports to it of gin of the cheapest grade reached the enormous amount of 3,207 tons during 1898 from the ports of Hamburg and Rotterdam alone. This vile stuff, which is sold at profit of 100 per cent, is consumed almost exclusively by the natives. Eff forts to have the matter investigated by the House of Commons have proved fruitless.

Live oak timber is now c1assed among # the rare woods. It is scarce and expen- sive. A short time ago the Cramps got shipment of it from Boston, and laid great store by it. Recently another shipment of it arrived at their Philadel- phia yards. This cargo was much more extensive than the first, and consisted of $50 logs, weighing over 600 tons. The timber, which has been lying for years in the Boston navy yard, was originally purchased by the government for the building of wooden warships. The logs lay in the yard forgotten, after the era of wooden ships passed away, and were only discovered when a general order came from the government to clean out the usless material. The timber is as hard as iron and it is claimed will last longer than that material under water. The logs will be used for ways on which to build big warships.

Some of the French parish clergymen are in the habit of giving very frank advice to those who come to be married, says the Christian Globe. One of these clerics thus addressed the bride and bridegroom: Tt is from the bottom of my heart, Joseph, that I congratulate you upon the great step you are talk ing. It was, indeed, sad to see you wasting your youth in life of disgust ing drunkenness. However, all's well that ends well; and it pleases me to think that you have said goodbye for ever to the wine-shop. As to you, my poor Catherine, thank heaven heartily that you have been able, ugly as you are. to find a husband. Never forget that you ought, by an interchangeable sweetness and devotion without bounds, to try to obtain pardon for your physical imperfection, for, I repeat, you are a real blunder of nature. And now, my dear children, I join you in the holy bonds of matrmony.'

The Future or Cuba.

NEW YoHk, NOV. :. The Future
of Cuba, is paper by Maj. ..Gcn.
FitzhuGh Lee which will appear in
the Independent to- morrow as follows
When will the United States cyacu-
ate Cuba? Thatis question am very
frequently asked, and l suppose it is
natural for people to suppose that from
my peculiar facilities for obscrya-
tion in the Island, | might have some
knowledge, or at least >olnc opinion
about it.
Nevertheless. | have no such
knowledge and 10 suc! opinion. With
the very best Of Will on the part Of our
Government Il desire to keep its
pledges and lra,c the inhabitants Of
Cuba to cnioy their Independence in
their own way, there are many diff
cultip- IN he way Of Withdrawal, and
whether or not we have in the last six
months, made progress toward the end
! am unable to say.
y ct can say that during the last
.ix months crime has decreased and
peace and prosperity are spreading or
rcvlving in 4 great measure. This,
however. seems attributable to the
presence OF nitcd States troops whom
the chief property holders and conscr-
vati,c business men insist must stay.
The Cutans themselves seem to be
very much divided in opinion as t.
what ought to be done. Some want
an independent government immcdi-
atcly: others insist that Cuba should
be annexed to the United States and
great numbers Of others seem to have
no positive opinion regarding the path
their country should pursue. There
IS, of course, on the part Of majori-
ty lack Of understanding Of the diff
ficultics of sclfgovcrnmcnt.
At present the census is being ia
ken in Cuba and for the first time We
shall have an accurate and reliable
enumeration. When that has been
finished the experiment Of free gov
crnmcnt by Cubans for Cubans will, |
believe, be tried. Precisely in what
locality or in what form, do not
know. That is matter for our govern
mcnt to decide, and l have obtained
no information of its intention in the
matter.
"If it is found that the Cubans can
organize and maintain a government
on their Island that will protect life
and property, undoubtedly we shall
withdraw and allow them to go their
way along the path Of independence,
accompanied by nothing more embar-
RAISING than our very best wishes.
"But at present all is tentative, all
attempts at government are merely
experimental, and not being prophet
| am unable to say what the future
holds for the Pearl of the Antilles. I
sincerely hope that it is happiness and
prosperity in their greatest abundance
and in highest form"

guardian of the children was a shoe

they should grow up, anu to educate

1t happened, however that that
particular property was necessity
for them, and they would have given
twice as mucl. So they took him up
in twinkling. The court approved
the sale, and the amount was then
llanded over in the form of certified
checks
The shoemaker looked at the pa
pcrs, found out from the banker that
they were "good," and then said to the
