SUGGESTIONS FOR BABY'S
WARDROBE.

The baby'S first cloak is usually made
of Bedford cord, or cashmere cream
white in color, says Motherhood The
more delicate shades soil as quickly as
white and do not look as well after
they are cleaned. The cape is usually
short. and may consist OF double ruff
flies OF embroidery. being little more
than an enlarged collar. The more eX-
pcnsive cloakS are made Of bengalmc
or faillc silk. with small collar. and
deeply tucked, ruftle edged. with silk
sleeves. as these may be folded in and
not used while the baby is very young
and are ready TO use later
The first flannel skirts are often cut
in princess shape, without sleeves, and
opening on the shoulders. where they
are buttoned They are finished with
narrow hem At the neck and armholcS.
and neatly feather stitched. The bot
tom may be worked in the same way
or have a wider hem, and two or three
rows OF feather stitching above it,
Sometimes all the edges are scalloped
and worked in buttonhole stitch, with
embroidery silk.
The materials used for a babys first
short dresses are nainsook, French lawn
and dimity. If it is desired to use col
ored dresses after the child is one year
old percalc in fancy stripes, pink, blue,
or delicate green may be chosen. of
the same material in plain color trim
med with ruffies OF Hamburg cdgng.
The ordinary measurement for short
dresses for babies six months old is
twen;y-one inches in length. the sleeve
measuring six and half inches on the
inside seam; for one year old, twenty
inches in length. sleeve seven inches;
for two years old length. twenty one
inches. sleeve, eight inches; for three
years old. length. twenty-five inches.
sleeve nine inches.
The first short flannel skirts are made
with waists, if no underwaist is worn.
Should a separate waist be used both
flannel and cambria skirts are made to
button TO it.

Kansas has never been explained We doubt if it ever

front elevation of Kansas is revolt against cooress

It happens that the first white these regions set

NEW FIELD FOR TRAVELLING MEN.

The Chicago Tribune says when the trust movement
at its height much respondent talk about
the passing OF the commercial traveller The consolidation
OF rival companies in some avowedy with
view to reducing the number of travelling statesmen and
hundreds have undoubtedly taken off the road in the
United States in the last years But the American
commercial traveller has recently appeared in new and
larger field He is busily in England France Ger
South Africa South America and other foreign
markets Apparently the consolidation of American indus
tries instead of throwing the travelling salesman out of
employment has given him wider more lucrative field
in many departments of trade European correspondents
report complaints from all quarters regarding the energy
with which American agents hustlng about on that
side of the Atlantic and selling our manufactures in com
petition with those of European make. The advent Of
these Yankee statesmen is resented by the lesurey rivals
whose markets they invading but consumers are buy
ING the American goods whenever these are better OF
cheaper American enterprise is making itself felt in
Europe as never before Hardly day passes in London
without the appearance of group engineers and
mercantile agents from the United States These sales
skilled in their business and receive good salaries
Young men intending to enter commercial life will do well
to realize the significance Of this change Heretofore the
market for our manufactures has been chiefly domestic
and the commercial salesman had to deal only Amer
cans Now industries have taken possession Of many
foreign markets and manufacturers viii pay liberal sal

CAR NICHOLAS ON EDUCATION.

The appointment of General Van Novsky as minister
Of education in Russia to hailed throughout the
cars empire with general satisfaction interpreted
as distinctly in the line of educational reform
Certainly the rescript which Emperor Nicholas ad-
dresses the successor of Bogoyepo in its frank recog
milton Of the need Of reform revision and improvement in
Russas scholastic system indicates no tendency on his
part to revert to old and ougrown methods
adoption Of those violent tactics which certain Rus

It is not always safe however to place implicit confidence
in rescripts, more than in proclamatons.

far as is possible probably native Fpno viii be chosen
for the Offices Governor General Taft is expected will
exercise supervision these provincial governments
Undoubtedly this viii be a disappointment to the army
Of Americans who had expected that they would permit
ted to fill the Offices to be created in the Philippines There
has been impression that all the important places would
be given to from this country, that natives
would be permitted to take only an unmportant part in
the control of affairs.
If the United States is to make good its professions of
desire to grant the Ffpinos selfgovernment however
there no other in which that be done. If the good

secure it is by giving them part the management
their affairs, and that should be large
consistent with their ability to exercise the governing
functions.
