The Taffeta Gown.

The taffeta gown, although 1t may
be not as popular as some of the other
creations. is. nevertheless, beautiful
effect and has that body and rustic
to it that can be obtained in nothing
else Then, too, it can be made to
stand alone more than any other fab.
,ic, and does not fall fat against the
tody as do the thinner and less stin
materials. For a jacket effect or any
thing on this order the taffeta is one
CT the most excellent materials that
could be used, and in gowns that show
a bolero, or a frock and frills effect
upper portion it is a great favorite.

Mr.. MoRcAN's HUGE FEES.
How They Compare With Those OF
Some Forty Years Ago.


Jaw Cooke, one of the greatest OF
American flnanciers, negotiated near
ly all of the immense loans issued by
the United States government during
the civil war. The banking hrm oI
which he was the head handled over
$4,000, 100000 for the government. ana
It's profits, it is said, did not eXceei
$2OO,COO What would have been }. +.
Morgans profits if that astute hnan
cier had been engaged by the govern
ment to float a series of loans amount
ing to $4,000 100000? 1t has berS'
stated that Mr.. Morgan received about
$100. 100000 for financing the United
States Steel Corporation with capita
of about 81 400 900 900. In another tran
saction his profit on $2oo,ooo,oot
transaction was estimated at $4,000,
600. Either Mr.. Morgan has cause tt
be astounded at Mr.. Cookies modera
ton or Mr.. Cooke would be justified il
expressing astonishment at the yer!
high value which Mr.. Morgan place:
upon his services. If Mr.. Morgan hat
financed the steel company at the
same rates at which Mr. Cooke han
died the governments loans during the
civil war he would have received only
$4,000 for his share in the transac,
ton. On the other hand. if the gov
ernment had paid Mr.. Cooke as hand
somely for his services as Mr.. Morgan
is reported to have been paid by the
steel company, Mr.. Cooke would have
netted nearly $150,000,0o0.

Curious Ants,

Very interesting in their habits are
the sO-Called warrior ants of the tropi-
cal regions. They do not belong tc
the same order of insects as our own
ants, and we are happily not subjected
to the havoc which their building and
devOuring work.
Two species of termtes have es-
tablished themselves in France, not
ably in Rochester, La Rochelle and
AK, and there have undermined and
utterly ruined number of houses.
In one town they gnawed away the
supports of dining room before their
ravages were detected, and the floor
gave way during a party.

How Plants Grow.

1t is on record that Flemish SCI
enlist three centuries ago made an
experiment to determine if possible
how plant gains weight in growing.
In pot containing 200 pounds OF
earth he planted a willow branch
weighing five pounds. He kept the
plant we'll watered. and at the end Of
FIVE years found tnat it had gained
in weight 1G4 pounds. while the earth
in the pot had lost only two ounces.
He concluded therefore. that the
gain in weight was due solely to the
water that he had supplied the plant
with.
But modern science has thrown
light on that problem. as we'll as on
many Others that we're dark and un-
solvable centuries ago. We know now
that a plant gains in weight by reason
of the carbon that it absorbes from
the air.

the catacombs were places OF pilgrim
