ENCO XPANsION.

There is one kind of expansion which will never make the people of this coun- try tired. That is the kind which shows in the remarkable figures of our export trade. Our exports to Europe during the eight months ending with February increased 5.4 per cent. as compared with ing fiscal year; to South America per cent, to North America 13.3 per cent, to cent or to Asia and Oceania combined A per cent The big increase in our ex- to Japan, is the more surprising because of recent information from Japan which that country have been greatly decreas- ed under it's new tariff The total inn ports of Japan in the year 1899 were 22O, 1867, ,622 yen, against 277,502157 yen in the preceding year, the value of the yen
 
 is decreasing her general imports.
 But the growth of our exports to the Orient is more clearly realized when we contrast them with those of few years ago. For instance, our exports to Japan in the fiscal year 1893 were but $3, 195, ,494, and in 1899 they were $17,264,6SS, and seem likely to be $26,000, 900 in the fiscal year 1900. To China our exports of 1893 were $3,9OO,45 and in the present fiscal year will be, in round terms, $15,000,0 ,000 To Hong Kong our exports during the period have doubled, being $4,216, SOP in 1893, and promise to be over SS,O0000 in the present fiscal year. To Australasia the exports of 1898 were $7,921, ,22S, and promise to be fully $24,000,OOO in the present fiscal year. To Asiatic Russia the exports of 1893 were less than a reach fully $2,000,000 in the fiscal year about to end. Even more remarkable, however, is the growth in our exports to the Hawaiian and Philippine Islands. To the Hawaiian Islands the exports of 1893 were S2,S27663, in 1899 $9,5O5, 47O, and in the fiscal year 1900 promise to be full ly $12.000,00o, while our exports to the

Some of the Germans seem to be al-
 most as smart as United States folks are and quite as smart as some of the
 English are Alarm in mercantile cir fers of important shipping interests in the Far East from the British to the German flag is reported. Last summer all the steamers of an important line running between Singapore and Bang kok were transferred very quietly to a powerful German syndicate. The steamers, it is said, constituted about one-third of the English shipping at Bangkok. News comes that one of the largest of German steamship companies has just absorbed another line of Brit ish steamers, consisting of fourteen boats with a combined capacity of 21,- 900 tons, plying between Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Thus 76 per cent. of the Bangkok shipping trade has come under the German flag. Other ne- gotiations of a similar character are said to be current. The theory that the lines did not pay is dsproved seeming ly by the fact that Danish capitalists are building new steamers to run over the same route. There is supposed to be some close connection between this development of German activity in maritime affairs in the Far East and the Emperor's desire for a large navy, and there Is suspicion that part at least of the amount of the purchase money needed for this large fleet of steamers was furnished from govern ment sources At all events the sea trade of Bangkok is apparently lost to the British.

IN YATN.

Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird" saith the Scripture And the Boer seems to be bird. We now read that the British hope of con- elusive results is slim at present The Boers are escaping unbeaten after hav- ing accomplished an immense amount of damage. They clung to their posi- tions as long as it was safe to do so, and they now have slipped off to hold the next commanding ridge through a broken country admirably suited for rear-guard defence.
 It appears that there are things that even "Bobs" can't do, He can't move his troops as fast as the Boers can move, especially when he hasn't horses enough. If the Boers get clear out of his net this time it will be q sad blow to English hope and pride. But the English will persist until some day their net will hold

We tied our barques,- In the misty past, Together, and sailed away On the tide of youth that was flowing fast To the Island of Happy Day. And we tarried there till the sea god lured Us over the sea to him, And we sailed through shoals till our
 barques were moored In the sea of the Social Swim. We tossed and fretted, and ne'er content, Again our sails were set, And we skinned along through the fog,
 and went
 Aground In the Straits of Debt. On the shore of the Land Regret we

 As the stately ships go by, But no one answers the beckoning hand, And vain is our helpless cry. In the light of the sun that is setting fast On the wreck of our social sin, As dream we see, through the misty

 Many new gowns have bolero fronts and long backs. The back is trimmed to simulate a bolero--that is, the panel of silk which edges the bolero fronts will follow bolero line across the back, while silk of contrasting color, or trim med with lace or braiding, will com plete the back as If an under bodice showed. There is fancy for trimming bolero with an upturned racing of white silk dotted with black. A sash bodice of white silk shows below, the silk corded with black.

fl CHICAGO THEORY,

In Chicago a woman was arrested for vagrancy. The vagrancy statute de- fines vagrant as "a person who is idle, remains idle and refuses to work" The counsel for defense argued that a wo- man could nN be a vagrant because she was not made to work" It took the jury of twelve men but a few min- utes to return a verdict supporting the theory of the defense
 Of course this Is only Chicago law, if it is any kind of law, but it will perhaps encourage some of the women who, though not made to work, are working. The experience of many women who are working to support men who, al- though made to work, cannot be made to work is such that even this Chicago crumb of comfort may be welcome. Twelve men who do not think women were made to work will seem like a large number to such women.

alternating unfringed spaces Very few two-piece gowns are made that do not show some variation of the eton or bo- Iero jacket, while elaborate frocks show boleros elaborated with lace and open over all sorts of daintiness.
 Lace garnitures are still marked by extravagant taste. Use lace freely, slice and snip 1t recklessly, and then place it where extreme perishability will be sug- gested for 1t, and the height of style is yours. There's no questioning the beauty of the result when an artistic eye has guided the application and of course there's chance for novelty. That was attained with all the rest in the gown the artist put here. It was pale pink mousseline de soie over white taf feta, heavy white lace supplying the in- dicated trimming, with bands of black velvet for contrast. A band and bow of white satin ribbon appeared in front.
 The newest corset has most of it's material below the waist It clasps the hips with firm hold and is carefully shaped out over hips and back. Above the waist it is fairly high in the back, but slopes down from under the arms so that all shaping for the bust is un- necessary. Cores are set in in front so that the spring of the figure in front from the waist line is allowed full free dom. For wear over such corset comes a firmly knit corset cover in- tended for support and firmness. It cannot be said that women no longer lace; the new corsets can grip the waist wolf F,,J1v I,,t hn of facing are neither SC inartistic nor so uncomfortable ir the new corset as in the old. FLORETTE.
