NOTES OF THE MODES.
New Materials and Designs for Spring Gowns-Pretty Fabrics
 Now In Vogue.

For early spring costumes, where 8 newer and more elaborate decoration than silk stitching is desired, will be used some very handsome braid orna- ments, the variety of designs of which will make it possible to please all tastes. There will be displayed elab- crate set pieces ready to apply to the skirt, while revers, girdles, collars and other conceits will be arranged for the jacket and waist. Both silk and mo- hair combinations will appear, and hercules and soutache braids will be in use. These braid decorations are usually selected to Raatch the color of the material, thousS black produces a rich result on navy, swallow, or sap phire blue, brown. dark green or red gowns. says the New York Post.
 For the taffetas, crepes de chine and other soft beautiful fabrics that are so much used for dressy winter gowns the princesse effect is first in favor. These dresses are long and sweeping. Some of them have a princesse back formed of side plaitings running from the top to the hem of the skirt, the plaits faring gradually from the knees down. The fronts finish at the waist line with bolero effect, and all sorts of fancy bands and embroid- cries are used to decorate them; fan plaitings of the same, joined by lace insertions, being frequently intro duced on the slashed portions of the skirt.
 The wine-co1ored or amethyst satin opera cloak with facings and monks hood of white velvet is one among the many elegant evening wraps. The edges all around are trimmed with white fox and the arched collar is also of fur. Again are seen capes of cost 1y lace over white or colored satin lining, the trimming consisting of plaited chiffon, coquille drfperies and frills and bands of marabout feathers. Roman red cloth forms still other French wraps. the accessories com posed of white cloth narrowly edged with sea otter and overlaid with Per- sian embroideries.
 A very pretty evening gown recently noted had bodice made of point d'esprit, trimmed with very fine gold gimp put on in stripes, the whole re- yelled with lace so that one saw only q delicate glitter of gold. The upper part was arranged to simulate little bolero, and was bordered all around with tiny roses in raised silk, wrought in embroidered relief work. The skirt was deft1y shirred to the hips, the full- ness disposed in plaits which were al- lowed f., fefl 1o~-o

The president has changed his mind about kicking Terry Powderly out of a job. As soon as he learned that Terry still had pull he announced that it was his intention to give him something just as good" as his pres ent place.
 Commissioner Evans will lose his iob but it must be as comforting to him as it is irritating to the pension ring that has bounded him to know that MT Roosevelt has declared that the Evans policy shall be continued by the new head of the pension bureau.
 The height of absurdity would seem to have been reached when the attor- ney general was asked to render an opinion as to whether clubwomen can constitutionally discriminate on ac- count of color. It has always been OUT idea that a club was a private af- fair and that it's members could and did discriminate against anybody and for any reason that they pleased, even casting blackballs for no reason at all save individual aversion or prejudice.

POSSIBLE CAUSE OF CATARRH.

It is a we'll known fact that marked changes of temperature induce catar- rhal affections, and it is also evident that the best prevention of q 'scold" is ready adoption to the varying con- ditions of an uncertain climate. The latter implies a certain resisting quail ity of the respiratory mucous mem branes which must be necessarily de- veloped along rational lines. The hardening processes thus becoming questions of vitality, habit and envi- rOnment.
 The old Indian explained his im- munity against low temperature by explaining that he was "all face" It was with him the habit of exposure to inclemencies and it's reacting protect ing tendencies. The other extreme is seen in the coddling process which our modern methods of civilization en- courage. ''When houses were made of willow the men were made of oak. {" Our superheated houses reverse these old time conditions.
 The dry hot air of the modern dwell- ing is undoubtedly the most prolific of all the predisposing causes of cat arrhal troubles. The mucous mem DranoS are thus pldceu III the WOrSI possible condition for resisting the inn pression of the outside atmosphere. Their natural protective secretions are not only decreased, but the blood supply of the air passages becomes relatively superabundant, congested and sluggish, and the beginning of the end is evident enough.
 Persons who are luckily unaccus- toned to these high temperatures often experience q sense of oppression from the same cause. It is the pro- test of healthy resistance against arti- ficiaI enfeeblement. Foreigners may say with truth that Americans liter- ally bake themselves in their houses, and their is in connection also much reason for their opinion as to the cause of the American catarrh.-From The Medical Record.

Representative Clayton of Alabama tells the following as the origin of the habit of democratic editors 10 display a rooster as an emblem of victory: ''The. story as heard it once, is that years ago out in Indiana 1here was q democratic editor named Chapman. The campaign was dull and it looked as if the democrats were certain to lose Tn the midst of the depression the democratic candidate for governor appealed to the party managers. Tell Chapman to crow he said, and Chap man crowed so Justify in his paper and claimed victory so confidently that the democrats woke up and won the election. The message, however, got into the hands of the republicans, and they used the words crow, Chap man, crow in every speech upon the stump. After the election there was only one thing for the democrats to do. They had to crow again and the picture of the rooster in the act of growing became the emblem of a vic torious campaign"

INDIAN INDUSTRIES.

A general idea prevails that North American industries have small trade and smaller artistic value. It is not correct.
 Two devoted missionary workers in Oklahoma, by encouraging the making of beadwork, have rescued an almost lost art, and created so large an out side market that seventeen Indian wo- men earned, collectively, over S1.1OO during the last year.
 In almost every large city Indian shops are springing up, and the large department stores have sections for the exclusive sale of Indian work. Every museum is dusting off its In- dian baskets and blankets and pottery and collectors are eagerly buying up the older specimens on the plains and mesas.
 The art of our Indians is uniaue. The Navajo blanket for instance, re- presents the best weaving i'll the world to-day. It will withstand the tread of elephants, it Is impervious to water, it will keep a man warm in the bitterest weather, and in it's earlier forms the colors are imperishable.
 A second example of beautiful na- tive art is the old Indian canoe. Mhs Candace Wheeler declares that some of the canoes she has seen on Puget sound, canoes hollowed from huge redwoods. exquisitely carved, stained in marvellous tints and classical de- signs, are so perfect as art specimens that they deserve to be preserved to posterity in glass cases.
 Moreover, experts affirm fhaf Tu- dian leather, as manipulated by the elder workers, is only comparable to that made in ancient Cordova. It is fact that the United States has ig- nored for many years native arts and crafts which, wisely fostered, would have added immensely to the artistic and economic wealth of the whole nation.-The Youths Companion.

WHAT HE DID WITH TT.

Not long ago a director of the street railway company, who was unknown to most of the employees, came to Kan sas City to look over the roads. He thought he would speak to some of the men to find out how they liked the treatment they were getting from the company. Accordingly he got on a cable car and began to question the gripman.
 How do you like to work for the company" he asked.
 Pretty we'll" answered the man at the lever
 How much do you make a month ?''
 About S55."
 What do you do with it aIl?1
 "Oh, l pay grocery bills. butchers pllls. and support myself and family"
 What do you do with the rest?''
 Well, have to pay rent, of course. 7
 What do you do with the rest?'' asked the persistent questioner.
 T pay doctors bills, because. you know, people get sick sometimes"
 But surely' ventured the director aeain. ''that can't take all your salary. What do you do with the restY
 Well I'll tell you.'' whispered the gripman. confidentially; ''the rest I pack Tn barrels and store away in the celIar.''
 The director got off at the uext crossing. The newspaper man on the seat behind, who also had barrels in his cellar. only winked at the gripman and smiled sympathetically.K Kansas City Star.

ORIGIN OF HOT CROSS BUNS

\
 Some one has just asked, What IS the origin of hot cross buns? Why do people eat them on Good Friday" The simplest explanation is that when the religious observances of Holy Week were far more strict than now, only a certain amount of bread was allowed to be eaten on Holy Friday, and that was marked off in the dough to show it's length and breadth. But the bakers continued to cross their dough ! long after the occasion ot measuring bread had passed. Whether this was due to the force of habit or from re l ligious sentiment is a matter of con- 1 lecture.
 l It is probable that the sign of the cross originated with the idea of con secrating bread to be eaten on so hoiy a day as Good Friday; and the small loaves of bread which in early times were sold to pilgrims in the churches are said to be responsible for tlre small bread, or buns, of to-day.
 To many the crossing of the dough is in remembrance of the miracle of the feeding of the multitude, as Christ signed the cross upon the bread before he broke it. Tn one part of Spain the cross is symbolic of charity bread. All loayes intended for distribution among the poor are so marked.
 In many Catholic communities it is commonly believed that small bread baked on Good Friday will never grow mouldy. A piece of bread baked on this day will be reverently preserved throughout the year as a protection against many evils. Such bread is supposed to avert the danger of fire. to control the fatality of sickness in chil- dren. to guard against hunger and cold, and to protect religious beliefs from corruption.-
 Superstition is the mother of many quaint and curious customs. Tn some of the rural localities of England small loaves of bread baked (even yell on Good Friday are preserved for medi- clnal purposes. Tn these districts ii is believed that small portion of such bread grated in water and given to persons suffering with serious ailments will cause speedy cure. Another curious idea is that to refrain from eating hot cross buns on Good Friday is to invite destruction of property and danger to life by fire.
 In Normandy bit of bread baked on Christmas eve is crushed and mixed with the dough on Good Friday. The simplest peasants think that they so combine the protective qualities of the two holy days baking. The Christmas eve bread acts as a talisman to pre- serve from danger from storms; the Good Friday loaf is believed to ward off temptation from those who eat it.
 In one part of Switzerland it is cus- tomary on Good Friday to feed the live stock with a species of bread made from rye. bran and salt, mixed with water. The mess is considered baked when thoroughly heated and crusted When the head of the family has prayed that it may carry the blessing of God to his poor dumb beasts it is dealt out to the cow. the donkey, the goats, the dogs and even the chickens. Tie ceremony is1 supposed to protect the animals from disease throughout the Exchange.

The Dakota commission is actively at work preparing it's exhibit for the worlds fair at St Louis. The commis- sion has decided to offer a premium of $2O0 for the best case of grains dis played from one county, the grains to consist of wheat, rye, oats, flax, millet and barley. The cases will be exhibit ed at St Louis and after the worlds fair will be taken back to Dakota to form a permanent display at the state capitol. The commission also offers q premium of $25 for the best ten. ears of corn braided together, and S25 for the best ten stalks of corn, with ears. Premiums for other grains and vegeta- bles will be offered later, and the at tention of farmers will be called to the matter early in order that they may cultivate some grounds especially with a view of competing for prizes. Every county in the state will be represented in the big exhibit.

Lieutenant General Miles is said to be still determined to go to the Philip pines on tour of inspection and is on the point of making another request to go to Manila. The probability is that the application would be refused and it would seem to be the point of brave generalship to show discretion as well as valor and to know when to retreat.-Hartford Post.
 Yes, but when good general sees victory in the distance he would be foolish to retreat. So it is with Miles. Eventually victory will perch on his banner and then he will snap his fin gers at the president and his very of ticious secretary.

SANITARY FLOORINGS.

4 substitute for wooden flooring Is being introduced which appears to be built up with asbestos as 6 basis. It's special features are noiselessness, dura bility and heat-resisting qualities being absolutely fire proof It is laid down on cement foundation. Tho material is said to lend itself readily to designs in color and is susceptible of high polish upon surface not sub ject to abrasion. It appears to be de signed especially for use in public buildings, libraries, halls, hospitals and on war vessels. Tn the case of hos pitfalls it forms very desirable floor, owing to its noiselessness and it's sani- tary qualities. It is readily cleansed, and when used in combination with a so-called sanitary base. gradual curve from floor to base board eliminating the corner angle. if forms an ideal flooring for the purpose.--Ph Philadelphia Record.

No event in the history of the fifty seventh congress produced the con sternation that was occasioned when Representative Richardson of Tennes- see rose to question of privilege and introduced series of resolutions re citing that one Captain Charles Christ mas, a quasi agent of the Danish gov, ernment, had, in a secret. report to hls government, stated that he had, as q promoter of the treaty conveying the Danish West Indies to the United States, pledged bribes to the amount of 10 per cent of the purchase price to effect the sale to this country. Mir Richardson's resolutions further called for the immediate appointment of an Investigating committee. As the clerk proceeded with the reading of his reso- lutions a number of the members are said to have turned pale and there was intense excitement in the chamber Representative Payne claimed that the resolutions were not in order and Rep resentative Cannon protested against immediate action, but Speaker Tender son ruled that the point of order was not we'll taken and finally the resolu- tions were adopted and an inyestigat- ing committee consisting of three dem, ocrats and four republicans was ap- pointed.

Is Hartford going to have a labo

Is Hartford going to have labor man for it's next mayor? It looks very much like it, and the turning down of Harbison by the republicans is what will help it along, At last evenings democratic caucus in Hart ford, l. A. Sullivan, prominent labor leader and also president of the State Federation of Labor, was nominated for the position of mayor. At this writing his chances for election seem good, and who knows but what it is Hartford's turn this year to elect a mayor from the ranks of the laboring class,

ATKINSON is A BUSY PLACE
Telephone and Lighting Systems
Being Installed ms Rapidly
as Possible.

ATKINSON, Neb., Nov. 19.-(Special.)-
Two large gangs Of workmen are busy in
Atkinson at present, one putting in a local
telephone exchange, with long-distance
connection with all important points in
the state, as well as surrounding towns,
and the other laying pipe and mains for
an acetyline lighting and heating plant.
The former enterprise is an extension OF
William Krotter's lines, which already
cover Holt, Rock, Brown, Keya Paha and
Boyd counties quite thoroughly. The local
exchange will start with upwards of sew
enty-hve subscribers and more will be
added as fast as the company can do the
work.
The lighting project is under the control
of a local corporation organized for the
purpose, with a capital of $1,000. 1t has
secured a twenty-fve-year franchise
from the city council and is already lay
ing over two miles OF mains as a begin
ming. 1t is expected that the city will
patronize the company to the extent Of
several lights on the principal streets.

George r.. voss, whose body was recently
found on the grounds of the Omaha Gun
club. carried a 5000 accident policy with
II. e. Palmer, Son g. Co, general agents Of
the Fidelity and Casualty company Of New
York. II. e. Palmer, Son & Co. paid the
S. 1000 on Monday to Mr.. Cheney st. Clair,
special administrator of the estate Of
George r, Voss. Mr.. Voss took out this
accident policy on September is, 1901, and
renewed it September IS. 1902. 1t cost
him S25 a year and he consequently had
only paid $50, two yearly premiums. but his
estate received 100000. Accident and
health insurance is nowadays carried by
every business man. as the cost is small
and the remuneration usually very large.
H. E. Palmer. Son & Co. write policies In
this same company. which pays S25 q week
or more for any accident or any Illness
except rheumatism and insanity. 1t is the
only company issuing a policy of this de-
scription, and this policy is considered the
most liberal accident policy ever written
The liberal settlements Of this company
have always been a very noticeable and
conspicuous feature. =
