most fastidious woman can gratify
every whim Of fancy this season. Be
tween silk, wash silks, embroidered
batistes and cotton madras, there is
every conceivable kind and condition of
shirt waist. The last mentioned mate
rial'is being made up into waists for
wear during the spring before the
weather is warm enough for lawns and
batistes. The newest shirt waist has
no yoke in the back, decided improve
meht on that of last season, as " re-
moves the one Objectionable masculine
feature. IL is made both with and
without stiff cunis. and WORK with dain-
ty feminine stocks of silk and lace,
quite as much as vith,iinen collars, so
ruinous TO the beauty of a pretty
throat. Another featul e Of the stylish
tout ensemble Of the new shirt waist is
the belt which must be narrow in the
back and rounding down low in front
to accentuate the long line from the
bust to the hem Of the shirt. Tucked
taffeta silk makes pretty belts Of this
sort.
High-heeled shoes seem to be COM
ing into vogue again, and the bulldog
toe, except for strictly walking pur-
poses, is out of It altogether. The me-
dium round toe is the fancy of the mo-
meDt, and if you would be quite up TO
date you must have embroidered satin
slippers to match your evening gowns
and tea gowns as well.
One of the novelties in material for
separate waists is plaid silk. either
pale blue or pink and white, divided in
diamond square with narrow Valen-
ciennes lace insertion.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Conditions Favorable TO Large Yield
in the Territory.

Temperature and precipitation
were preatly above the average
over this section during the fall
months OF 1899, and afforded
splendid conditions for the devel-
opment Of cereals in the ground.
The following winter months were
slightly below the average as TO
temperature and precipitation.
and were advantageous TO the
proper development Of the winter
wheat, which by the close of Feb
ruary was in most excellent con.
dition.
Favorable weather continued
throughout the month Of March,
the deficient temperature and pre-
cipitation affording conditions for
the rapid advancement of farm
work and the proper development
of wheat, oats, rye, barley, garden
vegetables, etc., that had been
planted and we're coming up with
a good stand. Early potatoes and
large part OF the cora crop were
planted; cotton land was being
prepared with increased acreage;
grass was starting up, and alfalfa
was reported doing well. Stock is
generally in good condition. Fruit
trees, especially apricot, plum and
peach, were IN bloom and are.
very promising, except ia some
localities where the heavy freeze
Of March 30th killed a good Dor-
sien Of the buds. Taken as a
whole the present condition of the
crops and fruit is one Of the most
promising for several years.

FRILLS OF FASHION.
Dainty Bits OF Isinery THAT Are Now
Popular In Ladies' Co.'S
tunes.

Lace straNss which are dainty re-
minders Of the old-time hats worn by
our grandmothers are revived again,
and in the same old patterns in some
cases. In fact, all kinds and conditions
of fancy braids are already in sight,
says the New York Sun.
The new artificial flowers are dreams
of beauty in pastel colorings, delicate
shadings and exquisite daintiness of
texture. Many of them are made Of
gauzy silk and chiffon. The hydrangea,
not specially dainty flower in its nat
ural state, is a charming exponent of
the seasons scheme of coloring, but
every imaginable flower is reproduced
in tints which almost surpass nature
itself. There are chiffon roses, the
daintiest silk poppies and the most
beautiful foliage Of all kinds, including
shaded leaves. Certainly flowers must
have the lead in hat trimmings this
season or all this beauty would be lost.
The new spring jackets, SO far as
they have displayed their intentions,
are in Eton or bolero shapes, falling
lutte below the waist line in front. A
more masculine style OF iaeifet, with
very snort basque, is either single or
double breasted, and has the usual rev.
ers, which in some form are a part Of
everyeost, either plain or embroidered.
Lace win be a prominent feature Of
millinery as well as tulle and chiffon,
and we are promised hats all Of lace,
with lace strings.
Feather boas in the fat instead Of
round shapes are ihe correct thing,
especially in the mother-of-pearl
shapes Of marabout mixed with ostrich
feathers.
The craze for buttons on cloth
gowns seems TO be increasing and It
must be granted that they give a pref
ty touch IN color TO costume. But
tons SET with real gems are Tho thing
If you can aSord them; if moi. the very
latest fancy is cameo in either stone or

The art of being eompanionable is

affirms Mary Stuart Mckinney, when
writing Of "The Compauionable Per

Some people are born with the happy
knack. There IS a spontaneous gayety
that you expect women TO have, Just as
you expect the birds to slug and the
sun to shine. Many a very bad quarter

An Ohio Mans View of Loud
Postal Bill.

In concluding speech against
the Loud postal bill in congress
the other day Congressman Leuta,
'of Ohio, said: "You have put
barriers enough, in spite Of your
selves, in the way Of people who
are anxious to read by allowing
the paper trust TO have the benefit
of tariff on paper, and instead OF
reducing postal facilities you
should be increasing the postal
rights of the people. | want to
encourage young men to start
printing offices and start all kinds
|of publications, and promulgate
their theories and thoughts to the
world. Il will do more good for
this country than your military
appropriations; it will do more for
the country than your naval ap.
d rCpriations; it will do more good
for this country than the appro-
priation for seeds and documents
Tor for horse books and cattle
books, If one or the other is TO
be curtailed, ii we are to save a

STEAMERS FOR CRUSHING ICE
Powerful Vessels Are Required to Keep
River Channels Clear.

Powerful Vessels Are Required to Keep
River Channels Clear.
The great and powerful ice-crushing
steamers of the lakes are without ex-
ception car ferries-that is, they trans
port whole trains of passenger and
freight cars from one terminal Of
railway line to the other, thus con-
trolling an important link where
bridges would be impracticable. The
ice-challenging ferries ply the straits
of Mackinac. the Detroit river, and
across Lake Erie from the American to
the Canadian shore They are huge
steel-shod craft Weighing several thou
sand tons, and some Of them have cost
more than $350,O00 each. Fitted with
propeller at either end, they crumble
the ice by the pressure of their bulk
as though its three or four feet were
but the thickness of a cardboard.
Whatever else Is wanting, adventure is
not lacking in the lives of the men who
spend the months of snow aboard the
majestic monsters which are to the
lake tracks what the snowplows are to
lAS ldIIIOdu LILIES. "A lew winters since,
with thermometer ranging from IS to
80 degrees below zero, one of the car
ferries was caught in an immense ice
field on Lake Erie and floated around
for few months with great mass of
ice piled mountains high around her.
A portion of the crew was, of course,
obliged to remain aboard, and each day
a couple of the men made an attempt
not always successful-to go ashore in
order to secure provisions and supplies.
Ofttimes this meant long, dreary trip
across the ice, and frequently, when
yawning chasm of dark-hued water in
tervened between the shore and the
edge of the ice field, the forager were
not able to return to their imprisoned
comrades for intervals of several days.

can't somehow. He was born way up
in Minnesota when that part Of tho
country was wilderness, and as boy
he worked In brickyard. The most
unpretending of men and jolliest of
good fellows, he is exceedingly popular.
The people Of his district worship him,
and no wonder, inasmuch as when he
goes out on an electioneering tour he
wears blue shirt and a pair of tall
boots, buys the bar" at every cross
roads saloon he comes across, hires
brass band to help along the enthusi-
asm. and talks to the lumbermen in
the logging camps in their native Nor

Hot MIX.

Hot milk is the newest panacea for
all complexion ills. If the face be
wrinkled, sallow, freckled or otherwise
afflicted, hot milk, says the enthusiast
over this remedy, will produce cure.
Converts declare that the face, after
wonderfully refreshed, while the skin
soon becomes very white and soft.
Some even go so far as to pour gen.
erous quantity of milk into the water
for the bath, and claim that it is posi-
lively magical in removing fatigue.

way: "Oh, Miss, l have been wanting so

How to Cure Chapped Hands.

insufficient drying is the cause Of
most chapped hands. 1t is an excellent
idea to keep on ones dressing-table
a box Of almond meal with a perofrat-
ed cover. When the hands are dried
with the towel, little almond meal
busted over them will complete the
work OF absorbing the moisture, and
the hands will not chap.
