mobile cloaks, the long. fitted New
markets, redingotes, or the shorter,
fiy-fronted jackets. with cut-away
basques.
Beautiful robe dresses, combining
lace and net, soft crepes de Chine, silks.
and satins, and sheer dainty nuns veil
ing, albatross, French cashmere, and
other delicate woods. are already set
forth for the making of warm-weather
gowns. The skirts are usually in cir
cular shape, and material and decora-
tion are supplied for the bodice, which
can be used in countless pretty and be-
coming ways.
Very fashionable stock collars are
made of white satin ribbon. with tiny
lines of gold braid put on at intervals,
Or those of black bebe velvet ribbon
standing vertically, and ending on a
little loop, held with a small gold or
jewel button.
In front of these pretty stocks are
set a jabot of rich lace, n drapery OF
Greek tulle. and a single pink rose;
soft loops of satin ribbon. and a frill
of embroidered chiffon, or coquilles of
ethereal goldwrought guipure, reach
ing from throat to waist, and meeting

ionable bouquets de corsage for aft

not so favored for evening wear, for
overheated atmosphere an strong
electric lights dim or utterly destroy
their delicate coloring and fragile
beauty. Every shade OF pink, tea-rose,
carnation, La France, etc. rules for
evening decoration. Against chiffon,
black velvet, lace, pale-green foliage,
dark-green velvet, etc, there is no color
that can approach it for becoming

A western judge who, although he
Is wise, does not mind being witty
was trying a case recently, when
he was disturbed by young man who
kept moving about in the rear of the
courtroom, lifting chairs and looking
under things.

length, "you are making a great deal
of noise"
"Your honor" replied the young
man. 'I have lost my overcoat and l

Next spring, the secretary of assl-
culture will distribute throughout
&c.. 49,. the country young
trees as weu as
' garden seeds. Au-
thority for this new departure was
secured at q recent session OF con-
gress, and an appropriation was made
In the budget for the coming year.
The garden seed distribution has been
the subject of no end Of ridicule, and
there is NO doubt that q great deal OF
money 10 wasted in that way, but 1t 10
nevertheless one of the most popular
features Of our paternal government
and members Of congress recognize its
political Importance to such an extent
that NO argument can induce them
to abolish or abridge it. The distribu-
ton of trees, however, 10 Secretary
Wilson's own idea. The people of this
country have been cutting down the
natural forests with so much reckless
ness that it has become necessary to
start artificial ones. The division of
forestry of the agricultural depart
ment has made survey of the coun-
try and has ascertained the particu-
lar trees which thrive best and are
most useful in each locality. Accord
ing to the programme for The dis
tribution of trees, next year Il given
number of seedlings will be allotted
to each member of the house If repre-
sentatives, who will be asked To fur
nish list of constituents to whom he
would like to have them sent. The ag-
ricultural department will do the rest.
The seedlings will be grown in the
propagating houses and forwarded to
their destination with specific in
structions as to how they should be
planted and cared for. In this way Mr..
Wilson expects to start several million
new trees growing throughout this
country every year.

A small hint to the coming summer
traveller is that, other things being
equal, the forward seats in q street
railway car are the most healthful.
This is explained by the fact that the
forward motion of the car causes a
current of air backward, carrying
with it the exhalations from the
lungs of those in front.

The secretary of the navy is receiv-
ing inquiries from boys in all parts
,.,.w w,,, u. of the country in
regard to enlist
ments, and the re-
cent prominence given to the navy
by the war with Spain has excited
the ambition of many youths who
formerly took little interest in that
subject. The other day Secretary
Long received IL letter from u boy
in Michigan, who is little deficient
in spelling, but knows just what he
wants and is not afraid to mention
it. He desires to enlist as sailor
on a ship that is to make cruise
around the world, and gives his rea-
sons. II want to so to Spain and

go to Africa and get monkey and
a parrot; | would like to visit Egypt
and see the pyramids, and l want to

to Japan to see the tea houses and

mother does not want him to be a
sailor because he would be associated
with rough set of men who drink
whisky and gamble with cards, and
he inquiries of the secretary of the
navy whether there would be any
danger of his contracting bad habits
aboard ships.

The NATIONAL ROAD
TOLL QUESTION.
rs the Editor of the R.~s....

To the Editor Of the Register
Sir:-It has occurred 10 ne. Il IT
doubtless has to many other citizens Of
this county, that the Board of Commits
sioners has taken q good deal for grant
ed in declining to obey the act of the
Legislature abolishing tolls on county
roads in the case of the National pike.
The Legislature evidently intended that
tolls should be abolished on all public
roads, and the National pike in this
county distinctly comes under that
head, although it is true that it is not
a county road in the sense that it vas
constructed from funds raised from the
people Of the county by taxation. To
give a history of the origin and con-
struction of this ROAD would be superdu-
GUS in this connection. 1t is sufic-
lent to note that the road, constructed
by the national government. was pass
ed over in trust to the State of West
Virginia, and by the State transmitted
to the Board Of Commissioners OF the
county of Ohio, to be cared for and
maintained in perpetuity, out of the
revenues of the county. 1t occurs to me
that as soon as the county accepted
this trust the road went on all fours
with other public thoroughfares under
county control, and was therefore sub
ject to the provisions OF the Legisla-
tive enactment, a measure intended for
the relief of the people. Any other
construction is manifestly technical,
and is in violation of the spirit of the
law. l have the various enactments,
Congressional and Legislative, before
me, but to quote them or their sub
stance would add nothing to the merits
of the case. In my opinion the Board
of Commissioners has made a serious
error, and one that should be prompt
ly corrected. CITIZEN.
