Fashion Notes for Summer.

The slot seam is a distinguishing
characteristic of both the newest skirts
ank jackets.
That the bolero will continue in favor
as an adjunct to the fashionable bodice
is evinced by the variety of modes ex-
hibited.
For general summer wear there is no
more serviceable as we'll as fashionable
garment than the shirtwaist dress fash
ioned from foulard, taffeta, pongee, lin
en-, pique or one OF the numerous lawns
or ginghams.
Fancy waists continue to exhibit the
closing at the back.
A white gown of some soft sheer fab.
ric is practically indispensable for wear
at garden parties, afternoon teas, etc.
Neckwear is demanding an unusual
amount Of attention; recent caprice is
to have the ruff match the gown in col
or, and the introduction of rosebuds
gives dretty touch. Chiffon, Liberty
silk, plain and embroidered nets, and
soft fabrics generally are much in de-
mand.
The taffeta coat is acknowledged to be
one of the Smartest wraps of the season.
Shirring is seen on many of the pret-
ty new irocks for iuvniles.
Irish lace is at present the leader in
the fashionable laces; separate waists
are embellished with it and entire gowns
evolved from it. For linen and other
wash gowns nothing is handsomer than
the yoke, sleeve and collar decoration
of this lace.
Dainty roses of chiffon and ribbon
are much used for dress and corsagt
ornamention. These roses may be ea
silly made by clever needle-woman.
The one special note of color in dress
this season is green; the emerald shade
is perhaps in highest favor. From tn,
August Delineator.

Mr.. SchWab'S Figures.

The figures submitted by Manager
Schwab, of the Steel Trust, in his ans
wer to suit filed against that corpora
tion in New York, are astounding. His
sworn statement includes the following:
/, That the outstanding capital stock
of the United States Steel Corporation
has a par value Of 81, ,O1S, 5S3, 200.
?. That its outstanding bonded in
debtedness amounts to $303, 757, 900,
plus 500, 99l 4, $50 owed on securities of
the subsidiary companies.
B. That its net profits, plus those Of
the subsidiary companies, were for the
first year IS, 76G, 452.
A. That its net profits for the second
year, ending April /, 1908, will proba-
bly, exceed $l4, 900,
8. That its earnings for the first year
equalled 13 per cent. on its common
stock, and will equal IA per cent. on the
same for the second year, after paying
I per cent. on its preferred stock.
G, That, at valuation below what
they are actually worth and exclusive
of goodwill, patents, trademarks and
processes owned by the corporation,
its properties have total of 81, 400, =
261 200.
Z. That its orders now on hand, which
will keep all its plants busy until Jan.
uary, 1908, aggregate $3.50, 1000, 900, on
which the net profit will be more than
$50, ,OOO,OO
"These are figures" comments the
New York World, "that fairly staggel
the imagination of the man in the
street. Think of one business concern
operating plants of value exceeding
the total national debt; more than al
that Great Britain expended in hel
billion and .a-quarter Boer war; equa
to the total value of the exports of tn,
United States, and equal to the com
bined value of all the cereal crops O
the country, inclTdiug its great corr
and wheat crop. No wonder the indus
trial evolution which has produced
such o commercial Colossus, and j
producing others like it, sets men ques
tioning whether the enormous powe
concentrated In these great corpora
tions is compatible with that freedom
in industrial enterprise which has beel
a distinguishing feature of our countr,
and whether it does not hold menac
to the highest public interests"
No safe, thoughtful business man ha
ever doubted the fact that these colos
sal trusts are menaces to the couEtry
They are founded on an illogical an
dangerous principle and sooner or late
must go to pieces. When the brea
comes, which it must surely do, wha
is going to be the resusult? To whi
extent will it paralyze business? Wi
it shake the foundation of the govern
ment itself? These are questions tht
present themselves to the thoughtfl
man when he ereads Schwab's statemen

A Sustaining Diet.

These are the eneryating days when,
as somebody has said, men drop by the
sunstroke as if the Day of Fire had
dawned. They are fraught with dan
ger to people whose systems are poorly
sustained; and this leads us to say, in
the interest of the less robust of our
readers, that the full effect of Hoods
Sarsaparilla is such as to suggest the
propriety of calling this medicine some
thing besides blood purifier aud tonic
say, a sustaing diet. 1t makes it
much easier to bear the heat, assures
refreshing sleep, and will without any
doubt avert much sickness at this time
of wear.

the mill. 1t is expected that when the
mill is once started, it will be worked

property will be developed on an ex.

Of 1890 to $500 ore. We feel very
