Fresh Air and Exercise Preserve an
Ideal Figure.

Sondow has been telling London women
what he thinks OF feminine athletics. He
asserts that women can preserve an ideal
figure by fresh air and exercise and ~
those two factors only. He disapproves en-
tirely Of corsets. which he qualities as
tight splints. and T. urlbutes to their
use the weakness OF fn- muscles OF the
back and a susceptibility 10 lung disease.
Naturally he condemns eighteen-inch
waists. and prefers the Venus OF Milo
with her twenty-four inches Of circum-
ference. But. though he advises outdoor
enorfs while not considering them as
good as the ancient game of ball played
by Nausea and her maidens, he says
that it is the muscles Of her trunk when

What Becomes Of stage Costumes.

Some one asked an actress who has
wonderful wardrobe of seventeenth cent
ury gowns what she did with them as
well as other gowns made for special
parts which were good for nothing else
when she had finished with them
They are simply rags ct the end Of
the season." she said, "and there is not
enough Of them left to do more with
than make n patchwork quilt. We spend
thousands Of dollars at the beginning for
a play. and a second year we must spend
as mush money more for new ones.
No one who knows the perishable quail
ity Of delicate gowns will be surprised al
this. Stage wear is hard wear. To see
the edge OF the train of an evening gown

a play makes It seem almost dissertation

Making Fashion Plates.

The maker Of fashion plates, says the
New York Tribune" has many difficult
ties to contend with which are not
dreamed Of by the men who study them
In order TO become posted in the proper
things to wear. 1t was the custom years
ago to give the artist the various fea-
lures of the garments, and he would
draw the figures clothed in the proper
way, and use his own Judgement as to
the colors and the designs OF the ma
terial The faces of the figures were OF
the class known as pretty and the poses
were stiff and in many instances I'm
possible. The whole effect was like that
which would be produced by grouping
a lot Of clothiers lay figures. But that
has been changed. and the fashion plates
which are now used are made true to
life as far as the figures are concerned
and the clothes arc drawn to represent
real garments. Samples of cloth are OBJ

Nu/umn Sonnets.

The golden sunlight Of an autumn day
Falls softly on me, here upon this height;
On field and lawn the frost has laid its
blight,
But 1t has painted all the landscapes gny
With beauty that too soon must fade
away.
We gaze upon 1t with enchanted sight,
And feel a sweet, half-grown delight,
Regretful that 1t can no longer stay.
And now the day is drawing to It's close.
And all things seem transmitted into
gold,
Or REDEEMED over with a tint OF rose:
Then fade the hues through shadings
manifold.
The splendor slowly dies. and shadows
creep
About me while the tired world falls
asleep.

creased price and that that increase in price is the cause of the reduction in foreign demands upon us for our beef cattle. In other lines of provisions, hawever. such as salted beef, tanow, hams, fresh pork, lard, oleomargarine, poultry and milk, there has been an increase, the total eXpOrtatiOn of pro visions in the ten months whose fig ures are completed being about $8,OOO,- coo in excess of that of last year. CT sufficient to offset the loss in the eT~ portation of live cattle.
 While the exportation of farm pre- ducts for the year will fall perhaps $50 .OOO, GOO below the total for last year, it does net follow that the farm CT has failed tG realize as much for his productions during the past year as in the preceding year. On the con trary a study of the export figures in dicates that the prices which he has received for practically everything eH- cept wheat and cotton are higher than those Of the preceding year. Ihls is probably due to the increased con sumption among our own people. que to increased activity and advanced wages.
 In nearly all articles of tarm pro
  inn. of which there is a constant pro duction in excess of home demands, the prices offered at home determine those at which expcrtaticn takes place, and study of the figures of the year exports of agricultural products shows that in nearly every article aside from wheat and cotton the expert price unit of quantity has been larger than in the preceding year. h butter, lard, fresh pork, bacon, canned beef. corn, corn meal, cats, oatmeal, rye, hops, sheep tobacco, and other articles, the export figures of the year show m creased prices, thus indicating that Ill practically all agricultural products aside from wheat and cotton the prices received by the producers have been higher than these of last year, while on the other hand the increased ex- ncrtaticn of manufactured articles has nearly offset the loss in exports due to, the reduced prices abroad ot the two great articles of our agricultural exports, wheat and cotton.

STRUCK BY ELECTRIC CAR
EX-Alderman Hall and Wife Seriously
 Injured in New York.

New York, June 2.-Ex-Aldermap Robert Hall and his wife were run down and seriously injured this morning by Madison avenue electric car while driv- ing across the tracks at Sixty-seventh street Both were badly cut about the head, while MT. Hall sustained a concussion of the brain. Up to a late hour grave doubts as to lis recovery were enter tained by 'he physicians in attendance.
 The motormnn of the car, immed;- ately after the accident, bore away at "a terrific speed, and up to this evening had not been arrest led, although detectives were looking for him.
 MT. Hall and his wife were driving in a light runabout behind a team of hcrses. MT. Hall did not notice the car approaching, and several bystan- ders, it is said, maintained afterward that no warning bell was runga The car was going at a rapid rate, while Mr. Halls team was proceeding at 2 slow ;rot across the tracks.
 A curious part of the affair was the speed with which the motCTrnan fed from the scene of the accident.
 As the detectives failed to find the nlotorman the officials of the Metro palitan street railway company will be asked to surrender him. No one could be found who could identify the motOrman.

 The design fur the battleship Ret vizan is the Lcost powerful ever drawn in the United States for a foreign na- ton. She combines many of the features of armament which are a di- rect outcome O fthe Spanish-American war. Instead of confining protection to a complete armor belt encircIing the ship at the Water line, which has been in late years a characteristic of bat tleships, the entire hull of the vessel is covered amidships with armor plate nine inches thick, and the water line will be further reinforced by the pro- t3ctive deck being brought down to the edge of the belt plating. Higher up on the hull will be s:x-inch armor, off to five-inch plates near the central battery guns.
