COLLEGE ROOM CUSHIONS.

The girl who is making cushion
tops for some college laddte should
remember the rough usage that will
be bestowed upon her gift
While it will be welcome. even if it
be made of silks. satin, lace Or even
velvet. the talents of the fair one will
be more highly priced if her remem-
brance is incased in ginghams.
Washable cushion tops have long
been fashionable, as well as sensible,
for the winter couches and window
seats. 1t is only of recent wears that
their possibilities have been apprecl-
ated The discovery of the usefulness
of plaid bingham in this connection
has given a fresh incentive to accom-
plish wonders in cushion tops that
will stand any amount of wear, and
come from the laundry as fresh and
dainty as when new.
A pillow recently finished is one Of
the daintiest encountered, so far in
the search for Christmas novelties.
The bingham chosen shows a block
of clear. delicate green, alternating
with a block of pure white and one Of
delicate gray-green. Taking four Of
the deeper green blocks, with white
block center. designs known as the
cobweb and Maltese cross design have
been worked with white darning cot
ton, with the close "flling.in-sfitch y
and surrounding these close, firm de-
signs are loose outline-stitch designs.

last, Dr. Glitttus says: The last house
OF representatives, though the only
one that lived the full length of its
legal life, did no particular credit to
parliamentary institutions, and the
nation saw its dissolution without
grief. In the elections Of August,
1902, the new law Of voting went into
operation for the first time. 1t was
more favorable to the expression of
minor constituencies. 1t required
candidate to appeal to q whole pre-
lecture instead of to q small district,
while the ballot, instead Of being
stamped and open, was secret With
commendable order the elections
were held throughout the empire
though the great rain storms in the
south prevented the full results from
being quickly known. The results
show that. while almost all of the Old
members of the lower house stood
for election, only about OnefOurth of
them were returned. Other interest
ing results followed, but what is of
supreme Importance is that govern
ment by party is now possible to the
Japanese, because, for the first time
in their history, one party is para
mount. The Ito association Of friends
of the constitution completely domi-
mates the situation. Above progress
ssts, independents imporaIsts and
minor groups, the Soiyu-kai has not
only a majority, but plurality. Never

CHAPTER OF JAPANESE POLITICS

The sudden and rapid growth of
Japan into one of the great powers
may well be regarded as one of the
modern wonders of the world There
is one white man living, but only one
who at a daimio's capital saw the
working of the Japanese feudal sys-
tenn. That man is Dr. w. Z Griffis
the author of The Mikado's Empire
Familiar with the old order in the
island empire Of the east, he has
watched with close attention the grad
ual adjustment of its political affairs
to the methods of the advanced ma
tions Of the west, and his article in
the November number OF the North
American Review on The Develop
ment of Political Parties possesses a
very peculiar interest as the history
Of a process which is absolutely with.

When Ice Cream Was New.

Ice cream was first introduced at
the national capital by Mrs, Alexander
Hamilton, who had had it in her

with amusement of the delight with
which President jackson first tasted

have ices at the executive mansion
Accordingly guests at the next re-
Ccption were treated to the frozen

fun to the initiated by the reluctance

from the rural district, especially,
first eyed it suspiciously, then melted

three years values of stock have been
soaring upwards in Wall street, but
the collapse of International Power
stock and the failure of three firms
there to-day have shaken the conf
dence of investors. Spots, while quoted
nominal, were offered 3-16c under quo
tations without attracting purchasers
Some dealers finding it impossible to
sell spots sold Mays against them,
which accounts for the relative weak
ness of the position. Sentiment is still
bullish, but those favoring the article
do not like the present financial out
look. Receipts and the demand for
spots will continue to regulate old crop
months, while the new will be inlu-
enCed by the weather conditions.

Hubbard Bros. & CO... cotton Letter.

New York, May 5.-Liverpool gave
the markets the needed support caus-
ing a decidedly better opening but the
heavy rains in Texas, together with
the failures in Wall street, brought
heavy selling orders These orders
came from the Southwest and from the
local sources, which have been the
main buyers during the year. This
selling became heavier after the first
half hour, catching stop orders until
July broke through nine cents. Then
there came a wave of buying by the
trade, leading to the expectation of a
sharp reaction, which was not sus-
tanned. The break in Wall street ap-
peared to have turned the buyers there
into sellers while the heavy rains in
Texas made a decided impression on
the minds of the trade as doing away
with a prospective great danger to the
crop. Houston receipts were heavier
than anticipated

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, May 5.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady with prices 2 to 8
points higher in keeping with gratify-
ing improvement in the Liverpool mar
ket and on active covering by room
shorts who had sold freely late Satur-
day in expectation of further weakness
in the English market to-day. For
very brief period the market gave
promise of doing better, but turned
sharp corner at 1910 o'clock under re-
ports that three Wall street houses had
suspended. At first the selling was of
WaVering type with the room inclined
to believe cotton would not be seriously
affected. Then came heavy selling for
outside account, a marked break in
Liverpool and serious declines in the
stock market. Tight money" reports
and official announcement on the
weather map that good rains had fallen
over the western belt, where most
needed, completed the load upon the
bulls and a scramble to sell out ensued.
Prices broke heavily and there was not
single halt until July had sold off
from 9.24c to $500. Even then buyers
We're slow to come forward, while every
point rally was the signal for fresh
selling Of large proportions. Then
came rally of 13 points on covering
and support for a turn, following by
another slump to 9O3c for July, under
another wave of heavy liquidation. The
trade was in a semi demoralized state
ana no concerted action was taken to
check the fright of the outside public.
Whereas the stock market stiffened UP
later, the cotton market continued in
feVerish state throughout the balance
OF the morning and during most of the
late session. Near the close the ring
