monarch, in power.
Austria Hungary is composed
Of larger number OF races than
are found IA any other contiguous
nation IN Europe. Moreover, the
hand Of every one OF those peoples
seems to be against every other
one. The German element Of the
Empire. which is the dominant
caste, though the Slavs are more
numerous, is hated by the Hun
garians and the Bohemians, and
this feeling IS reciprocated. Hun
garv has something closely sp-
preaching to independence, and
Bohemia wants to get similar priv
ileges. bu both the Hungarian and
the German ingredients of the pop
ulation Of the Empire oppose this
concession.

A Gray Checked Costume.

Indetinable checks appear on some of
the new cloths. A stunning gown Is of
gray homespun, and the check is Of the
same shade, while the collar is of
white panne embroidered with pale
blue and dark and light gray chain
machine stitching. The blouse worn
beneath it is, of foulard in pale blue
patterned with gray and white, while
the skirt is cut in a corselet style, with
the center of this sloping downward
making a sort of V, whence the folds
of the bodice emerge becomingly.
Corselets are indeed very trying to the
figure. Ones waist needs to be round
and then, too. ones figure above should
be round without being full, and it
would be better if the shoulders were
square than sloping. A very pretty hat
goes with this costume. 1t is made Of
folds of gray tulle, with stripes of
white straw sewed upon it.. and the
crown is again of tuIfe. with a single
quill resting across the top held with
steel ornament. while beneath the brim
is bow of black velvet ribbon.

Variety In Fashions.

There never was such variety in
fashions as may be seen this summer
Shirt waists are modified and amplified
and glorified. They open in the front
or back or at the side Collars are high,
low and not at all. A bit of lace may
finish the neck or stiff linen collar.
while the maiden who rejoices in a
plump white throat boldly discards rib
bon and stock and looks cool and COM
Portable in a sailor collar cut down in
front. Bishop sleeves are the rule. and
for this we may be thankful. They
are the coolest and most comfortable
sleeves we ever had. Elbow sleeves are
making themselves noticeable. They
were worn first in the country, but
now we may see them on the city
streets, though the taste that prompts
them in such place is questionable.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
The soldier and his Clo&hing.

VnG S0AQlcE 0AO k1l1 OlO&nAA8s
At banquet in Manila General
Chaffee. just back from the campaign
In China. made a speech In which be
deplored the careless dress Of the
American troops and urged the officers
to employ good tailors so as to set q
good example in the matter of dress to
the men. This criticism by General
Chaffee, the war department says, is
undoubtedly deserved.
European officers are stick1ers for
proper dress when on duty, and the
farther they are from home the more
careful do they become with their
clothing. Not so with the American
soldier when he gets away. Then the
western idea of careless, swinging gait
asserts itself in all things.
The war department officials say
they wish Americans would be little
more careful in this matter of dress,
but there is no suggestion that any new
regulations are to be put into effect.
The men are all furnished with good,
well fitting clothes. The American SOL
dier Is clad in uniform that is more
expensive and better fitting when new
than the uniform of the soldier of any
other nation. The whole trouble is that
he does not wear it properly. He SIM
ply will not keep his coat buttoned
when the weather gets too warm for
him. The officers sometimes try to
keep the men spruced up, but officers
have a good many things to look after,
and this alone would be great task.
So the American soldier swaggers
along, careless and Independent, and
his officer is proud Of him even beside
the nattiest soldiers in the world.

a prominent, if not the chief, means of
tiding over the inactive or winter sea-
son. The same is doubtless true with
bacteriOsis.
1t has been shown that soaking the
seed in fungicides, while destructive to
the fungus, is not always without i'll
effect upon the seed itself. Expert
ments differ upon this point, and fur
Their Investigations are here needed.
There is only one opinion as to the
desirability of discarding all diseased
seed before planting and using only
that which is mature and healthy.
This is strongly urged.
1t has been demonstrated through
seven consecutive years of beans upon
the same land, two crops each season,
that the anthracnose is checked by
fungicides. The same is true of the
bacteriosis. The bordeaux mixture has
proved of substantial value as a rem-
edy for bean mildew.
While the experimental sprayings
have been at intervals of ten days, it
is not recommended that they be more
than three in number for the ordinary
wax sorts. For pole varieties or any
that require the whole season spray
ings once in three weeks would per-
haps be most profitable, and yet the
distribution of the drencding rains
should determine the times of the ap-
plications.
1t was shown that old spotted pods
when used as mulch greatly increased
the disease upon the area thus covered.
All such refuse, whether of pods or
stems and leaves, should be burned.
A rotation of crops is desirable from
the standpoint of freedom from dis
ease, but it has been demonstrated
that with frequent spraying beans may
be grown with profit indefinitely upon
the same land.
The leading points in bean growing
are: First. to have strong. healthy-seed
of the least susceptible growing: sec
ond, planted not too close Or deep;
third, in rich. well drained soil, and
fourth. spray with bordeaux or its
equal, soda bordeaux. at three week
intervals. To this is added the not less

New York's Good Example.

The New York prison authorities did
right in formally abandoning the rule
under which convicts were compelled
to march in the lock step.
1t was long ago demonstrated that
the after effects upon convicts of this
method of marching was for the worse.
While it remained true that hardened
offenders were sometimes detected
through the shutting gait which result
ed from the lock" it also became evil
dent that this was not the limit Of it's
influence.
Men not yet hardened to crime. but
doing penance for their first offense,
acquired the same noticeable shuttle
and when they emerged from the pris-
on walls with the determination to re-
turn to an honest course of life fire.
quently failed of employment because
of that prison brand.
The old legal notion was that it was
better for ninety and nine guilty men
to escape than for one innocent man to
suffer. and upon that principle it is bet
ter that ninety and nine old offenders
should get away than that the lock
step should render it impossible for one
repentant to redeem what was possibly
his only error.-Philadelph Inquirer.
