No Gibson Shoulders.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
s'The kangaroo walk and the Gibson
shoulders are doomed said Nine. Lucy
Baker, president of the National Dress
makers Association, at the third semi
nual convention in the Lexington Hotel, in
Chicago.
Tight fitting waists with sloplng shout
ders and straight fronts are to do away with
the loose pouch fronts, which set off the
kangaroo walk, and also with the square
Gibson shoulders of the military girl, she
continued 1.-The coats and waists with
long, sloping shoulders and broad belts
make the figure look smaller, and Nine.
Baker sighed in satisfied manner, for she
is large of girth She went on 1.-The
French styles are so tight that the bust is
made to look small, but the American
women won t adopt that style. They dress
to please the men.
''High heels, peekaboo waists and per-
oxide hair 90 together" was declaration
of Mime. Baker that caused a shiver of
horror to run through the $50 rural dress
makers in the hail.
Apparently none was guilty Of any of
the three crimes, for three -fourths of them
wore shirtwaists and all wore decorously
high collars. Nine. Baker continued :
High heels were not made to walk on
They ruin the feet and figure and the per-
sons who wear them are disgusting. Don t
let any of your customers wear them.

A DRY CELLAR.
How to Purify the Air and to Pre-
vent Must and Mold.

Quicklime, borax, charcoal, dry copperas
and plaster are things to make and keep
cellar sweet and fresh, says the Maine Far
mer. Move out all things movable, sweep,
take up dust, open bins and closets, and
set doors and windows wide. Then in
every bin or inclosed space set an earthen
vessel. dish or bowl with several Jumps OF
uuicklime in it. Strew grains of dry cop
peras all over the lime, then slack it, but
do not wet it, yet be sure the slackenlng
is thorough. Steam from the lime, rising
up and out, will take away all bad air and
i'll odors.
Leave the cellar open and empty for two
hours, then scatter dry borax all around,
in corners and along the walls, and wher-
ever there is place where it will not be in
the way hang piece of net, such as fish
net, with some Jumps of fresh charcoal tied
inside. Leave the borax until next clean
ing time Take the charcoal bags down
every week, empty them, heat the char
coal very hot, return to the bags and re-
place them. Charcoal has a marvellous
power to absorb all sorts of bad smells.
The power is strictly proportional to its
freshness, which the heating restores.
Make cheesecloth pads of plaster mixed
with powdered slack lime, and hang them
against the walls that are likeliest to be
da mp. Lime and plaster are SO thirsty
they will take all the spare water to them
selves, thereby preventing must and mold.
A good way to make the pads is to stitch
or run inch -tucks in length of cheesecloth
or coarse lawn, then slip the funnel spout
into the open end of the tuck, and pour in
the plaster and lime. Make the tucks an
inch apart and fill them evenly. Powdered
charcoal may be mixed with the lime and
plaster for pads which are to hang where
foodstuffs are kept.

Given a 100000 Banquet.

Boston's welcome to the Honorable
Artillery Company of London reached its
climax on the night of October j in the
banquet rendered the visitors by the An
cient and Honorable Artillery in Symphony
Hall. In point of lavishness and magnlti =
cence the banquet surpassed anything ever
attempted in the staid precincts of the Hub,
and it will pass into history in class by
itself
The head table, where sat the notable
guests, was fine spectacle. The gorgeous
uniforms stretched clear across the mag
nifcent stage, the line broken here and
there with the somber dress of the civilian
guest. The main tables occupied all the
floor space of the great hall, and about
these were gathered the private soldiers of
the two commands and the lesser of the
military guests. The floral decorations and
electric lighting were magnificent.
At each plate was specially designed
piece of china in a leather casket With
it was the solid silver cigar case full of the
choicest cigars and a miniature representa-
ton of an old cartridge box containing an
assortment of Turkish cigarettes.
The following statistics give some idea
of the dinner

Ireland's Wonderful Linen.

Whether or not Ireland is the finest
country in the world for growing flax, it
is beyond dispute the finest in the world
for bleaching linen, an operation which re-
quires from six to eight weeks, according
to the nature and weight Of the fabric
Nowhere else can the snow white finished
fabric be turned out to rival the Irish
bleach. France, Belgium, Germany and
the United States have all entered into
competitor and retired unsuccessful. The
quality of the water, the climate and the
inherited experience of the Irish bleachers
must all contribute to the result, which has
had abundant practical demonstration that
Ireland now occupies and has always ocen
pied the first place in the whole world for
bleaching and finishing linen.

sweeping destruction OF all the mighty trees. the
burning over OF the cleared tracts not only leave
q barrepness until new growth appears. but that
growth Is thin and slight. and the sunlight bhses
over the ground from which all the LEAKAGE OF many

But the melancholy lasts only mo-

and tree toads greet their brother:

To be sure, the croakers in the marsh
are in full evidence but never mind the
croakers. They will always be in evil
dence. Let us take the spring advance
as it comes and be grateful Espe-
oially gratefully that there is not a rent

that, in spite of divers crises confront
ing him, he still clings tenderly to " that
brave and sturdy plant Of the marsh,

Generally, however. It is much less rela-
lively than in the Manhattan borough OF
New York. Here, too. there is the DIFF
ference that more than three-fourths OF
the whole is on Roman Catholic churches.
OF the rest, the largest Of any single
denomination is on Episcopal churches.
with the next largest on the Baptist.
These statistics for Manhattan, OBJ
tanned by a church census taken last
November, do not include the attendance
on the Jewish synagogues, though there
are more than half a million Jews in
Manhattan, or more than five times as
many as in London.
Accordingly, the religious condition
Of New York, 80 far as it is indicated by
the church attendance, is very much
better than that OF London. Moreover,
it Is higher among the people described
in England as the working class, as
the statistics OF the Roman Catholic
church attendance. so largely among the
poor, bear witness. OF the one-third OF
the population Of Manhattan who go to
church, more than one sut OF four attend
Catholic churches. In the fifteen London
boroughs in which the census OF church
attendance has been taken less than one
half was on Anglican churches.
