verted box-pleat at the back is still the
favorite finish, though some new skirts
show a few rows of gathers or tiny pleats
at the placket.
Tailors may use a greater variety or
materials than is usual, for besides the
cloths that always are theirs, the entire
range of velvety materials is now at their
disposal. Cloth suits are as carefully
gotten up as ever, yet are a bit outshone
by those of corduroy and velvet that are
no finer as to fit and finish. Many suits
are made with skiTted coats. These have
pleated or plain skirts, some with long
position finish that gives the coat novel
appearance. Braid, embroidery and
stitched bands of silk and cloth supply
the trimming. Few are fur trimmed
but boas and muffs are worn with nearly

black, dark blue, reds and numerous
brown tints. Handsome collars and re-

Tailor gowns of velvet and wide-ribbed
corduroy are very fine, the skirts being
usually quite plain, whatever elaboration
there is being on the coat Those with
waistcoat finish are very stylish. This

OF the three tailor dresses put in these
pictures, two were of the velvet order,
to one of cloth, proportion more sugges-
tive of comparative fashionable values
than of actual numbers. The cloth suit
was sketched for the initial, and was pale
biscuit satin-faced cloth trimmed with
pale brown panne velvet bands. The first
of the velvet suits is shown in rear and
in front view because of its novelty and
because it promises to be much copied be-
fore mid-winter. 1t was black, with corn
colored satin in belt and tie. white satin
in the waistcoat and black serpentine
braid used as indicated. The other vel
vet gown was dark green. Black taffeta
bands trimmed it. With these dressy
tailor gowns the dressmaker is in the
most direct competition. She not only
uses the same material for her output,
but by most of her customers and the
wiser ones, is limited ia the amount of
trimming she may use. An example Of

Keeping Apes in Winter

IL large quantities of fruit are to be
kept there is no way equal to the mod
ern cold storage process. but this is ex-
pensive OftentimeS, however, one has
a few barrels of fine fruit designed for
home use or to keep for a select trade.
and these may be kept in good shape
hy either of the following methods.
only the finest and most perfect specl-
mems are used in either case: Take
good barrels. and in the bottom of each
place oats an inch deep. Then wrap
each apple in newspaper and pack a
layer on the oats, not permitting The
apples to touch. Then pet in another
layer of oats, and on this layer of
apples, as before. Continue this until
the barrel is fun. The other method
is simply TO omit the oats and pack the
apples in the same way. after wrapping
each specimen in oiled or waxed pa
per. In either case the barrels must be
kept in an even temperature. where it is
cool but above the freezing point.

Fasnion Notes.


Small metal buttons are much used for
trimming dresses this autumn.
The new flannel waists have fat but
tons and long-waisted pouch fronts.
Trimmings of heavy braid and galloon
will be worn more than ever before.
Green is the favorite color of the sea-
son, the more subdued shades prevailing.
A charming new wrap is Russian
blouse, made of shaggy material, to wear
with short skirt.
Black silk waists, to be worn with odd
skirts of black serge, cloth or cheviot,
are much in vogue.
For evening wear nothing is more pop
ular than black net or mousseline over
black or white silk.
A beautiful shade of palest corn color
and another of cameo pink are shown
among the new evening gloves OF glace
and undressed kid.
Some of the newest things in furs, says
the Ladies' Home Journal, are long
stoles, or little round collars with long
tabs. Little tight-htting fur coats are
also popular.
We are once again TO patronize fur
hats, these being mostly made of sable
and trimmed with scarves of lace. Lace
of the coarser kinds is much used for
millinery in Paris, and a sable hat of
last years date may be easily renovated
by gathered brim of ecru chiffon, cover
ed with scarf of lace.
Silk gimps and passementeries en- APP
plique, copying very closely the beautiful
designs of applique laces, are the most
novel and effective of the ready-to-use
trimmings Of the season. Some of these
garnitures are Of black silk alone, others
are interlnixed with threads of gold or
bits of cut velvet. chiffon, or chenille,
and still other motifs have all the rich

Home-Mad. Grain Bin.

Where comparatively small quaint
ties of grain are to be kept, barrels
may be utilized to good advantage
Select two well-made sugar barrels and
set them on a platform raised few
inches from the floor, building a rack
about them to hold them in position
and having the back strip of this rack
the same height as the barrels. If this
is done the cover may be hinged to this
strip and will come down closely over
the barrels. This plan is an improve
ment over the usual way of covering
the barrels with blanket or old bags
By having the cover the horses OF
cows can not get into the barrels
should they get loose. These bins
need not be confined to two barrels,
FOR as many may be used as desired,
but it is best to arrange the covers to
cover every two barrels. so that they
may be more easily raised.

Annapolis for the instruction of naval
cadets. In the last volume of the his
tory, bringing it up to the Spanish-Amer-
lean war, Maclay violently assailed
Schley as ''caitiff and a 'poltroon,"
and, in fact, was to some extent directly
responsible for The Schiey controversy.
The censuring of Miles and the dis
missal of Maclay is taken, in army and
navy circles, a Washington correspon-
dent says, as signifying President Roose-
velt's determination to end the Schley
trouble right now for good and always.
This belief was strengthened by the ac-
ton of Secretary Long, who made public
his decision on the Schley court findings.
The decision upholds the majority re-
port and is against the individual report
of Admiral Dewey. In indorsing the ma
jority report Secretary Long stands by
the recommendation that there be no fur

Sampson protest could not be eonsid-

miral Schley regarding the Schley pro-
test.
The President acted in the case of
Gen. Miles on his prerogatiye as 1om-
mander-in-chief of the army, and from
this there is no appeal. The highest law
officers of the government say that Gen.
Miles has no remedy.

De.tructive Cabbage Worm.

The common white butterfly seen
IN cabbage fields is an imported
insect and very destructive, says
the Orange Judd Farmer. The
adult female insect is shown in the IL
Iustration. The eggs are laid upon
cabbage and allied plants, producing
the well-known green cabbage worm.
After feeding for a time the worm
leaves the plant. changes to chry-
sails, from which the adult energies

brOods each season.
Attempts have been made to destroy
these pests by the cultivation Of a
contagious disease, which has been
found to attack the worms. This rem
edy. however, has not been successful
and other means must be followed for
its destruction. Hand picking the
worms, although tedious, is an effec-
tive remedy on small areas. Insect

A Clash in -uha.

While in his argunl nj $ ar reciprocity
President Roosevelt has taken posi-
ton not altogether in accord with the
views of aggressive high tariff MEM
bers of his party, the Cuban paragraph
of his message is a bold defiance and
challenge to immediate combat. The
general reciprocity suggestions are eau
tious, the conclusions of the discussion
being that 1.-The natural line of develop
ment for policy of reciprocity will be
in connection with those of our pro-
auctions which no longer require all or
the support once needed to establish
them upon a sound basis, and with
those others where either because of
natural or of economic causes We are
beyond the reach of successful compe-
tition." That might be construed as an
Endorsement of the Babcock bin and the
principle underlying it, but it is not in
consistent with the proposition now
finding favor with the party managers
Of postponing action by the device of
commission, to investigate and report
what productions no longer require the
support of high tariff duties.
But there is no ambiguity in the Gu
ban paragraph Reminding Congress of
his preceding arguments in favor of re-
ciprocity as a general policy the Presi-
dent says that in the case of Cuba
''there are weighty reasons of morality
and natural interest why the policy
should be held to have peculiar appli-
cation" and he most earnestly" asks
the attention of Congress to ''the wis
dom, indeed to the vital need of pro-
viding for a substantial reduction in the
tariff duties on Cuban imports into the
United States. Cuba has. he
says, Sin her constitution af
firmed what we desired, that
she should stand, in international mat,
tiers, in closer and more friendly rela-
tons with us than with any other
power; and we are bound by every con-
sideration of honor and expediency to
pass commercial measures in the inter
est of her material well being"
That is plain and unmistakable Ian
guage. A substantial reduction in the
tariff duties" on its sugar and tobacco
imports into the United States is what
Cuba asks. A powerful interest in the
Presidents party in Congress has de-
termined there shall be no reduction at
all. The President says that ''weighty
reasons of morality and national inter
est require a Substantial reduction"
and that it is q vital need" The posi-
ton already taken inside his own party
is that it may be a vital need" for
Cuba, but it is vital need" of our
own sugar and tobacco interests that as
much of the Cuban product as possible
shall be kept out, and Cuba may die of
surfeit of its own sugar for all they
care.
Here is a clash at the very beginning
But what can the President do should
Congress not heed his urgent plea? II
Congress were to pass a bill obnoxious
to his sense of morality and national
interests" he might veto it, but when
Congress simply refuses to pass the
measure he desires, the President is
powerless in the case.-Cleveland Plain

Draft Horses Popular.

The draft horse now enjoys the high
est prosperity and greatest popularity
of any breed of horses among the
American farmers. The prejudice
against the draft horse being too big
has given place to the universal desire
to raise them as large as possible and
farmers generally want TO raise draft
horses for the market. and they have
learned that the big draft mares and
young geldingS make the best farm
teams, and as fast as they mature the
markets take them at good prices
