The tops of sleeves continue to be
more trimmed either with stitching,
cording or some applied decoration.
Some of the corduroy velveteen
and cloth gowns are trimmed with
bands of white kid edged with beaver
fur.
Graduated fringe is one of the
novelties, and it is far more graceful
than the straight variety. 1t is found
in all lengths with knotted bead

Silver fox boas with two feet and
the pointed head of the animal at orc
end and two feet and the bushy tail

for young ladies especially.
Hats with decided and rather high
crowns are becoming rather popular,
but the latest advices from Paris as
sure us that it is the hat with the
broad, low crown which is the nov
city.
A very beautiful example of the
ever-popular black and white contrast
is an elegant costume of black cloth
combined with black and white fig
ured velvet, black silk passementerie
and black and white buttons.
The smart form Of the fashionable
lace sleeve is a mitten finish over the
back of the hand, kept in place by a
very narrow band around the thumb
or one of the fingers. Several small
buttons fasten this sleeve at the
wrist.
A beaver brown cloth coat stitched
with white silk and completed with a
collar and revers Of grebe, is one Of
the seasons developments in the de-

has surpassed all previous records in
the production of varied styles.
A useful petticoat just received
from Paris is built of lavender flannel,
closely fitting the hips and reaching
to the knees, where it is extended to
the proper length, with a deep silk
founce covered with a number Of
small rufiles edged in turn with lace.
This novelty combines warmth and
style.
Some of the skirts made with the
box-plaited backs and plain fronts are

comment with which they were
launched, that they are particularly

was in comparison with the sheath

not be safe for very bad figure to

Men usually make Wills as matter
OF course. Oftentimes a woman ne.
elects to make a will as much on &C.

many dismiss it and vaguely believe
that at their death their affairs will be
conducted quite as satisfactorily as

Wills may be made by any person

incapacity, excepting in some States
married women. A female over twelve
years of age in New Mexico and over
sixteen in New York may bequeath
her personal property. But eighteen
is the age fixed for devising real estate
in California, Colorado, Connecticut,
Dakota, District of Columbia, Illinois,
Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Ne.
vada, Utah and Washington, while in
the other States the testatrix must be
twenty years of age.
Married women may devise their
separate estates in Alabama, Arizona,
Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Da.
kota, District of Columbia, Idaho,
Kentucky, Maine, Missouri, Nevada,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Yer.
mont, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wy

States that a married woman have the
written consent of her husband before
disposing of her property by will.
An unmarried woman's will is le.
gally revoked by marriage, but her
property may be arranged in such a
manner as TO permit her to dispose of
it after marriage as she may desire. -

Cornstalks, which until recent years
have been regarded as a waste pro.
duct, are now used for half dozen
commercial purposes, and sell in the
West at six dollars per ton. Properly
prepared, they make a nutritious food
for horses and cattle; they yield cell
lulose, which is used for an inner
sheathing for warships; they provide
the basic material for smokeless pow
der, and from their fibre both paper
and glue of excellent qualities are
produced. Enthusiastic statistician'
estimate that the cornstalks that have
gone to waste in this country in the
last twenty years would have yielded
commercial products worth $4,000,
100000 and that the annual crop
when fully utilized, will give the farm
ers a return of 5000, 100000.

to a vague impression that Great Bri-

the country with his gig and speedy
horse, q combination which passed
out OF existence with the advent Of

century may return, IN a measure, to
the mode of travelling adopted by
their predecessors of days gone by.
Only he will travel in a thoroughly

Sailors Scarce I'm Germany.

With the rapid growth of the Ger.
man Navy and the German marine
there has been an increasing scarcity
of native crews, especially in respect
of trained young sailors. A few years
ago Germany furnished q large por-
tion of the crews of English vessels,
but to-day the crews of German YES
sells are partly composed of foreign
ers. This change is due chiefly to the
phenomenal rise Of German industry,
which has been accompanied by a
uniform rise in wages paid for skilled
labor, which has acted as en- incentive
to draw away from a seafaring life.
1t is already foreseen that, with the
doubling of the German Navy now
contemplated, this difficulty will in
crease, and steps are being taken to
meet it. At Bremen the North Ger
man Lloyd Company is organizing a
cadet school to train young men for

the different features of the face the
nose is undoubtedly the principal.

from the nose. The Roman nose de-
notes boldness of character, also

Prophetic Letter OF a Transvaaler

The following extract from lStte
written shortly before the war in the
Transvaal, from an official of Presi.
dent Kruger's government to a cores
pondent here, is, viewed in the light
of recent events, almost prophetic:
"As I predicted to you four years ago,
war is upon us. We are again com.
PEELED to fight for our fresides, but
do not despair for us. Our strength
is very much underestimated. Every
home is an arsenal, every man, wo.
man aud child can shoot, and the
righteousness of our cause directs our
aim straight. The first victories will
be with us, and you need not be sur.
prised after these victories to see the
Dutch from all over South Africs
hocking to our banners. The English
may, of course, be ultimately success
full, but 1 believe there is a future for
the men Of my race in South Africa. "

No one envies the possessor of
red nose. This unsightliness is due
to many causes. Tight-lacing will
eventually cause a red nose; so will

posure to heat. When the redness is
due to indigestion the victim should
overcome the cause by careful dieting.
For the cure OF redness of the

A PAMPHLET issued from the office

hibit of the strength of volunteer forces

gives the volunteer force as l0.017 Off
GERS and 233 1886 enlisted men. OF the
1O,C17 officers fourteen volunteer Off
GERS and four regular officers serving
with volunteer troops were killed i'm
action. OF the 223,235 men 100 were
killed I'm action. A smaller proportion
than is usual in war-three officers and
seventy eight mea-died of wounds.
IL may be said that it was not bullets
that killed. The great loss was from
disease. The discipline was not severe.
There were 1903 assertions, but not a
man was shot, according to military
law, for his Offense. Kansas, South
Dakota and Nebraska had the largest
number of officers killed. North Da-
kota and the District of Columbia did
not have deserter. while Utah, which
made an excellent general record, had
but one.
