THE Republicans provided z. grace.
full escape for GODDARD from the result
OF his partisan decision that the special
session was illegal by erpealing the
special session appropriation bills and
passing other bills to pay the ex-
penses of the special session. They
recognized the legality of the extra ses-
sion when they appealed some of its
laws. Marks, of the 5sb, voted against
the bill and gave his reason in writing
as follows:
believing the debts of the special ses-
sion should be paid by appropriation made
by the special session and that the attorn-
ey general should be made to come off the
perch of repudiation, vote no."

advancing thought or civilized agency,
and with her broad prairies and golden

1NcoyGnUous nur ENCOURAGING


 Some of the inconsistencies of the peace congress are perceived by the Montreal Witness, which calls it the greatest anomaly of modern times and points out that it was proposed, and that honestly and enthusiastically, by the best and most criminal ruler of our day, the ruler of perhaps more fighting men than all others put together, the ruler whose subjects are fleeing from his empire because he persecutes them for holding peace doctrines, who protected the sultan in exterminating the Arme- nians, who since he initiated this peace movement has broken his oath to the Films and driven them into revolt because among other things he wants more soldiers from them. It is participated in by the great powers of the earth, every one of which has, since it accepted the czar's invitation added more to it's permanent armament than it ever did in like time before. Almost every one of the powers meeting to-day in secret at The Hague has some internal sore which has to be healed before either justice or mercy can be at peace with it. It is agreed between these powers that none of them dares have these subjects mentioned Yet peace can only reign with righteousness.
 True enough, but it is also true that the great powers of the earth need and want peace, and it is encouraging that they are willing to meet and talk about

amount. The average fall of rain in England is, however greater than that of any other European country. In the northern part, and on the high plateaus of Scotland, it is estimated that about S,S90 millimeters (about 351.25 inches) fall each year. In Central England the rainfall averages 5000 millimeters. London is said to have on the average IFS rainy days in the year. Northern Germany has a rainfall of 1,290 milli- meters. In Alsace the water is reckon ed at 1860 millimeters. Among the Alps St. Bernard receives the greatest rainfall; the annual average registered there has been 2,564 milllmeters. In Paris the average does not go beyond 560 millimeters, which is about one tenth of the quantity that falls upon London,

THE LUCKY PARIS.

Walt Whitman said it was luckier to die than to be born, but he didn't say it was luckier for ship to go on the rocks than to keep off them, and it would have been called more poetry than truth if he had said so. And yet some are calling the Paris lucky ship because she has had so many things happen to her without being destroyed. She was launched in 1888, and she has had eight accidents. Among them is the one of March 25 1890, when one of her cylinders blew up and she drifted around for three days off Fastnet with great hole in her side. Had the sea not been of the smoothest she would have gone to the bottom in half an hour. As it was she kept afloat. finally secured help, and was lowed into har- bor. She broke her rudder so that she had to put back to Queenstown. She sunk a small excursion steamer. She broke her starboard shaft. She broke her propeller, causing a long voyage. And she ran aground twice.
 How the Paris came to go on the rocks is not explained, and perhaps never will be. Is there some great sea monster in that neighborhood that drew her and the Mohegan to their doom, or was some- body only careless?

PHILA NTHROPY AND PROFIT

That philanthropy and profit can trot successfully together is pleasantly shown in the operations of the City and Suburban Homes company of New
 York, which was founded three years ago, with the avowed intention of meeting the financial as well as the philanthropic, conditions of the prob lem. It has been in operation long enough to test the soundness of the
 theories of the founders. and, according
 to the annual report, made few days
 ago, the results have justified them. It
 has a capital of s2,00O,0oO, and is al-
 ready paying per cent on the amount
 subscribed, although only about half of
 it Is productively invested, and the
 managers are confident that it will in
 a short time, pay the 5 per cent. which
 is the maximum it's shareholders may
 receive under the bylaws. About
 year ago the company completed a
 group of buildings on the west side,
 containing 373 apartments, four stores
 and an office, and practically all the
 tenements were let last September, These buildings have paid 5 per cent. on the capital invested, the expenses of maintenance, interest on the mort gage, half the general expenses of the company and somewhat over per cent. surplus on the capital represented The average weekly room rental is 921s cents, and per square foot of floor area is not higher than that of apartments in other buildings in the neighborhoad far inferior in comfort and sanitation. The popularity of the tenaments is shown by the very low average of loss from vacancies and irrecoverable ar rears of rent, the two amounting to only SIS per cent. of the total possible rental. One of the buildings is devoted almost entirely to women, although there are a few four-room flats occupied by families without children It has made even better showing than the others, for not one cent in rents has been lost in the fourteen months that it has been open Various classes; in

 Another trimming being advanced just now seems like revival of one used rather freely but two seasons ago. That is the trellis designs of ribbon, This is now applied so liberally, how ever, that it is very striking and no suggestion of a bygone fashion is left. It's most common use is on bodices, which are trellised front and back with bands whose color contrasts with that of the waists material But occasion ally it invades the skirt as well, and it is one of these models that the artist sketched. The dress was white silk null, the untrimmed portion of the skirt taking Spanish flounce effect, and the trellising was light green satin ribbon Ribbon of the same shade ap-
