The New Lingerie.

The special point in the new lin
gerie is the fit. The set of n gown
depends largely upon the accurate
shape Of the lingerie over which It
is worn, especially now in this much
bepleated era of fashion. Skirts, both
long and short, are cut to fit the hips,
quite smoothly, and, although fanci-
fulness is INDUCED in sometimes to
an almost exaggerated degree. the flare
and the fluff are all confined to the
lower part of the skirt

for guaranteed" fresh laid eggs. They
will, they say, deliver eggs in boxes,
each box stamped with the date of
laying, and delivered to customer with
In twenty-four hours after the eggs
are laid.
The city of New York last year paid
| S20,000.000 for eggs, most of them
more or less stale. the consumption
being 100000,0O0 dozen. The first
| years output of the enormous new
chicken ranch now being laid will be
thirty million eggs. This will be the
product of laying "herd" of from
| bne hundred and fifty thousand to two
hundred thousand chickens. The es-
tablshment Is being planned to rapid
| iy increase to double that amount.
These fiocks will be hcrded under
the system invented by Mr.. ]. r. Ben
son, an authority on everything per-
| tanning to the hen and its product. Mr..
! Benson is the general manager of this
| gigantic concern, which will be the
biggest in the world.
In n recent lecture Professor a. A.
Brigham. of the Rhode Island College
! of Agriculture. at the Poultry Expert
ment Station, Kingston, said:
' "To make an industry of the chicken
and its product is not question of
the market, which can always be had.
! II is not the expense of keeping, which
| Is always low. 1t Is not question
of profit, which, If properly conducted,
is large. 1t is the question how to
reach and conduct on business scale
large herds of hens, the chicken busi-
ness of to-day being merely home in
dustry. Something, therefore, must
| be done to make hen raising a national
business on business scale"
This will be accomplished says Mr..
Benson, at the Manasquan egg farm.
Under his system any number of chick
ems can be herded. Instead of allow
ing them to run az large and mingle
freely, as of old, picking their food
from all kinds of refuse, they are to
be divided into colonies of not above

Ruined Iceland Farmers.

About 800 Icelanders emigrated from
Liverpool to Quebec few days ago,
en- route for Manitoba and the north
west. The recent order in council
rendering compulsory the slaughter of
foreign sheep and cattle at the port
of arrival in Great Britain has ruined
the prospects of many Icelandic farm
ers, whose sheep require British pas
turage before they are tit for killing.
This has induced many of the island
ers to leave for Canada with their

The German Emperor, as linguist,
appeared to advantage during his re-
cent visit to England. His English is
free from all but the slightest accent,
and is terse and idiomatic. He talks
it q good deal, and without any hesita-
ton. This, of course, is as it ought to
be. His French, which, as rule, is
only used playfully and in inverted
commas, as it were. has the genuine
Partisan oracle" The Empress also
talks English well. but with O strong
accent and with an occasional quaint
turn of phrase. The boys vastly
prefer their mother tongue, and are
apt to '.shy" q little if an unexpected
speech is addressed to them in Eng
lish. But they understand the Ian
guage all the same. To hear the Prince
of Wales speak German is like hearing

A Timely Rescue.


1t has grown to be almost proverbial
that Presidential year is bad year
for business. In fact, this has often
been presented as a reason for length
ening the Presidential term The year
1900, however, bids fair to discount the
proverbial claims. Wherever statistics
are gathered together the fact appears
that the year 1900 has started out with
better business than did 1898 or 1899,
wonderful as was the showing made
by eacn Of those years. Every sign
points to a bigger volume of business
for the country than ever before Bust
ness men feel reasonably sure that the
country will not consent to go back to
the starvation days of Democratic tar
i'll reform; they feel reasonably sure
of the continuance of our present policy
of giving protection to American in
dustries. Therefore they have the con-
fidence to go ahead. With protection
rs the established policy of the coun-
try, with no possible danger of its
downfall, Presidential years, as well as
all other years, will be years Of nation
al prosperity.

make the Constitution breastWork
for it's error. The Republican party
does not subordinate itself to the DEM
ocratic party in loyalty to the Constr
tuition and the laws, but the Republi-
can party anchors it's confidence in
the Justice, intelligence and patriot
ism of the American people. The peo-
pic of the acquisitions recently fallen
to us have their highest guarantees in
the character Of our people and not in
the letter Of any law.
1t is an old cry of the Democratic
party against any step forward that
..you can't do It," The alternative they
present now is the abandonment Of
Porto Rico, the abandonment of the
Philippines, under claim of the utter
impotence of the United States to do
aught for them except through the de-
basement Of our own people. II such
contention is to be maintained, what
follows? 1t follows that this nation is
powcrless to expand except at the peril
of self destruction: it follows that it
cannot employ it's strength in the re-
sponsibilities Of government outside of
the equalities of the States compris-
ing the Union without inviting the an
initiation of Republican institutions.
If that contention has meaning back Of
it it means that this nation has not the
power of self preservation. Sioux. City

The new woman has revenged anott

The new woman has revenged anoth-
er of the ancient wrongs Of her long
suffering sex. In one striking instance
she has turned worn-out joke on the
wife into an exceedingly serious prob
lem for the husband. Ever since Joe
Miller wrote his joke book the man
who belonged to SO many secret So
cieties that he could never stay at
home in the evening has been q po-
tent cause of masculine laughter. Ever
since comic weeklies were invented the
figure Of the woman sitting at the top
Of the stairs in the gray Of the early
morning, waiting for the husband, who
had dropped in at the lodge" has
had place in their pages. Sometimes
she has been armed with q poker and
ferocious frown; sometimes she has
been painted in tears and curl papers;
but, in whatever guise, men have al
ways seen the rich humor Of the situa-
ton and have chuckled with keen
sense Of masculine deprayity and FEM
mime trust and gullibility. Now comes
woman to completely turn the tables,
and to illustrate for the benefit Of all
men what a poor joke the staying
out-at- the-lodge" habit really is when
it is carried to extremes. 1t appears
that the woman in question was al
ready member Of the ID. of r., the
r. of A., the G. Of l.. the /. D. S.. and
the L. Of NJ. But one evening of each
week was yet vacant, SO she announc-
ed to her husband that she intended
joining the d. of s. He, still clinging
to his ancient prerogative as a man,
objected on the weak ground that he
could not afford it. This was, Of course,
treated as mere evasion Of the ques-
ton at issue. and in due time there
were six societies on Iher list-one for
each week day evening. Later she ex-
pressed a wish to attend meeting of
the I. ID. s. at Detroit. Again the man
put up the plea Of poverty. Straight
way the woman packed up her house
hold goods, sent her child to her par
ents in New York, and departed. This
was the climax. In all the history of
staying out late to the lodge" as a
masculine joke nothing more complete
and final has been recorded. The sex
has it's revenge.
