more easily handled of the two. If trim
ming is used at all upon the walking skirt
I, should be applied in vertical lines, and
though the hip yokcs are often braided or
piped, with good effect so far as the skirt
alone is concerned. this treatment upon

If a plain yoke is not liked. stitching or
stitched folds will be preferable to con-

The same statement holds good in regard
to boused. belted coats with long coat

long dress skirts these coats may cor sort

Disease in the Mines,

Mines n Minerals: The profuse
use OF water spraying IN mines has un-
fortunately assisted in the Introduction
of a most serious disease into colleries,
viz: "ankylostomaiasis,' which is at
present mostly confined to Austrian,
German and Hungarian mines. but has
been discovered in some mines in
Cornwall. and also in Australia. where
those suffering from the disease are
called 'earth eaters" The higher the
temperature and the greater the point
OF saturation the more easily is the
parasite ~propagated. and therefore its
favorite habitat is in the damp and
badly ventilated places. The larvae
can exist in any temperature above AS
degrees F.. and have been found on the
higher parts of props and bars, but
not near the floor. Fortunately. the
first are believed to have ex-
aggerated the danger. and were incor-
rect in stating that the infection could
be carried through the air: but
later Investigations seem to point out
that 1t can only be taken in through the
mouth. and. therefore, clean hands and
clean water. when partaking of foods.
are the principal safeguards.

consequently it is not always Il wise

a very expensive material cheaply and

plainest street gown there must be
some trimming; a touch Of color in
the waistcOat. cuffs and collar, and the
band around h hem OF the skirt head
ed by a fancy braid are thought ex-
tremely smart. The smartest color so
far is h new shade of blue. and there
are also some beautiful shades Of pur-

and red. but these two colors are not in
the lead this year, nor used as much az
they have been.-Harper's Bazaar.
