In wells there is very little that is
new, yet there is great variety. The

gold or white silk marked in at one

Shirtwaists and shirt blouses are as

pear constantly. The woman who af-
fects severe tailor modes will be
pleased with a design that is given a
distinctive air by a short back and
front yoke having an irregular lower
edge; below the yokes, there are
three narrow plaits stitched for a
short depth in front. and two applied
plaits at the back. The blouse sleeves

Big Tree in Iowa

All of the big trees In the country
are not in California. One OF pretty
good size was grown on the Bigelow
ranch near Salix, Iowa, at the south
east end of Browns or Horseshoe
lake. The tree was sold to the school
district near by by A. F. Bigelow, and
it furnished enough fuel to DO the
school all winter, and there ia more
than enough of it to do it another
season.
The monster tree was five feet and

The LnrY Turned Round.

Gibes at the intelligence Of the Brit
ish jurymen are not warranted, but
there are occasions upon which the
good men and true appear in ludi-
crous light. Such an instance hap
pened in the York Assizes the other
day. The evidence in the first case
had concluded, the judge summed up
and all that remained for the jury
was to consider their verdict. The
Clerk Of Assize told them TO turn
round" leaving that they were to con-
fer together without leaving the court,
as is frequently done in simple cases.
They obeyed his instructions to turn
round literally and to the letter. All
twelve, six in the top row and six in
the bottom, stood up and turned round.
The noses of the uppermost seXtet
almost grazed the panels in the back
of the jury box, while the nethermost
six stared at their colleagues backs.
There they stood for half minute like
naughty boys who had been told to
face the wall. The judge smiled and
the court was convulsed. The faces
of the jury were something to behold
when they realized how absurd they
had made themselves appear.-Pall

Guests Pass with Glaciers.

Hotel keepers in the Alps have a
new trouble and are complaining at
the loss Of patrons, who are moving
away from the glaciers. Yes, the gla-
ciers are actually passing from the
landscape, and as they recede the no.
tells along their borders find that THEN
registers are shortening.
These glaciers are not running away,
by any means, but they are deterior'
ating slowly with a persistency that
means their final annihilation. Hotels
that a few years ago stood very near to
a great river Of slowly moving ice,
now find themselves considerable dis.
tance away, and the attractiveness of
the site is lessened.
The famous glaciers of the RhOne
have shrunk 5000 feet in the last
twenty years. or about 10 feet year.
A number of the well known glaciers
approximate this diminution, and the
scientific fact is established that these
reminders Of the great glacial period
are surely disappearing. New York

MUNICIPAL BATHS.
Thirty.six American Cities Have These
Helps TO Health.


Within the past few years a number
Of municipalities in this country have
established all-the-year-round munich
pal bath houses, while others have
added to the number Of open bathing
or swimming places, which, for some
years past, have been maintained dur
ing the summer months. Information
collected shows that thirty-six cities
and towns with 5000 population and
upward by the United States census
of 1900 now have either all-the-year
or summer public baths, These places
are as follows: Boston, Brookline,
Cambridge, Dedham, Holyoke, New
buryport, Quincy. Springfield, Water
town, Worcester, Mass; Providence,
r. l.; Hartford, Conn; Albany, Buff
falo, New York, Rochester, Syracuse,

nah, Ga; Cleveland, Ohio; Muskegon,
Mich; Chicago, ILL.,; Milwaukee, Wis.,
Des Moines, Iowa; Crookston, st, Paul,

The thirty-six places in question are
distributed over sixteen States, but
Massa chusetts has ten and New York

Of the other States are represented by

Municipal baths, often combined
with public wash houses or laundries,
are becoming more and more common
in England, and the signs Of the times
are that they will rapidly gain popu'
lar favor in this country. The laundry
feature will, naturally, gain ground
much more slowly than the baths

Coal supply and Demand.

"You suggest the pot very remote
exhaustion of our coal fields. What is
the total coal area of the United
States?" About 2sO0O0 square miles
A little over half of this is productive.
Pennsylvania produced in 1900 241,,-
100000 tons. The anthracite coal fields
ale confined to Pennsylvania, Virginia
and North Carolina. The Ignite coal
deposits are not included in the above
estimate, and embrace $4,000 square
miles in the Dakotas, Wyoming and
Montana. The exhaustion of this
vast deposit Of coal is not the ques-
ton, but how long will it be able to
keep up with the increased demand?

THE MEANING OF cocKADEs.

have had rather a remarkable let
ter from a New York woman, who
asks me to ascertain for her, if pos
sible, the significance Of the black
cockade which is worn by her coach
man and footman. She states that a
friend Of hers has Informed her that
she has no right to place the black
cockade, or any other for that matter,
in the headgear Of her servants, and
she desires me to inform her as to
the correctness of this point. In this
instance have to rely on the informa-
tion derived from great authority on
these matters, namely, aIr. T., Lee
Carter.
The cockade in present use. not only
in England but abroad-excepting the
United States-is a distinction of Of
flee rather than Of title, inasmuch as it
is a headdress which can legally be
worn only by servants of royalty in
Guiding naval and military officers,
diplomatists and the lieutenants, dep
uty-lieutenants and high sheriffs Of
counties. AS worn by these its color
is black, and its introduction to Eng
land in this form is due TO the House
of Hanover, but cockades of various
colors have been known in England
long before that time, Under Charles
!. there was a scarlet cockade, but
under his son the color was changed
to white, and this became the badge
of the Jacobites, or adherents of the
Pretender, while the orange was that
Of William of Orange. At this time
the cockade, white or black, was mere
ly used by soldiers to denote their
specific allegiance. Orange is still the
color in Holland, while other Euro
pean nations adopt large variety of
hues, as is shown especially in the
streets of London, in the foreign liv-
cries Of carriage attendants, namely,
black and white for Germany, black
and yellow for Austria, the tri-color
for France, scarlet for Spain, blue and
white for Portugal, and black, red
and yellow for Belgium. The word
cockade was borrowed from the
French cacarde, having originally been
applied to the plumes of cocks feath-
ers worn by Croatian soldiers serving
in the French army. Such a plume,
or in its place bunch of ribbons,
came to be used in pinning up the flags
Of hat into cooked position, and
thus gradually the word passed for the
designation "the cooked hat" itself
l hope this information will satisfy
my fair inquirer that she is really not
entitled to use a cockade in the head
dress Of her liveried servants, but she
may be consoled by the news that she
is only one Of many hundreds of thou
sands who do likewise, without know
ing or caring that they are transgress-
ing an old ruie.-Town and Country

Women to co Armed.

A bill will soon be introduced in the
Virginia legislature whereby the
women of the state will be placed
among those exempted from the opera
tions of the present statute in the same
manner as a policeman, constable and
other officers; that is, they will be
allowed to carry weapons, says an ex-
change.
The women, in view Of many GRIM
inal assaults recently, are becoming
expert pistol shots. Recently gun
club was formed in Roanoke, and
regular meetings are held for rife
practice.
A young lady school teacher at sut-
folk, who has to ride some distance
in the country to attend her school
carries a pistol regularly strapped to
her side, and there are other evidences
Of a disposition on the part of the
Virginia women to carry arms.

A Sheenskin Railway.

1t is reported from the Far East thai
the builders of the -Meccs
street railway have expended $1,000,
600 on the project, says the Boston
Herald, and thar the roadbed for a dis
tance of twenty five miles is ready fol
the rails. The capitalists in that par
of the world appear to have very little
confidence in this kind of enterprise
as the management announces that il
has decided to secure what additional
funds are necessary for the completion
Of the enterprise through the sale OF
the skins of sheep that have been of
fered as a sacrifice. The fact that
many thousands OF dollars will be re-
Quired to place the road in condition
for operation leads to the conclusion
that the business of sacrificing these
animals is one Of the chief activities of
the Orient.
Another peculiar feature in the build
ing of this road is that all the embank

of regular soldiers. 1t would seem
