Shoulder Capes.

Small capes that cover and protect
/ the shoulders make q feature OF the
seasons styles and are greatly IN
vogue both as parts Of costumes and
as general wraps. The two May Man
ton designs illustrated are admirable
and are one round, giving a smooth
fit over the shoulders, the other cut III
deep points that fall in handkerchief
style. Both are double and both show
the stoles that are preferred to every
other form of neck finish. AS Illus
trated the round cape is made OF tan
colored cloth, the pointed cape of the
same material in the shade known as
mole-skin, both being finished with
stitching in corticelli silk. The stole
of the round cape IS made of heavy
ecru lace finished with drop ornaments,
but that of the pointed cape Is cut from
the material, simply stitched and I'm
ished with fringed ends and drop orna-
ments placed at the neck and midway
of it's length.
The round capes are cut in one piece
each and arranged one over the other
and finished at the neck with the stole.
The pointed capes as illustrated also
are double and finished with the STOLE
but can be made with the under por-
ton cut from the outer edge to the
depth of the stitching on the upper
cape only and joined thereto, thus CIV
ing the effect Of two capes without the
additional weight.
The quantity Of material required for
the medium size is for round cape two
and three-eighth yards twenty-one
inches wide, one and three-eighth yards
forty-four inches wide or one and an
eighth yards fifty-four inches wide,
with one yard Of all-over lace for the
stole; for pointed cape three yards

Intelligent Use of the Shears.

The editor who uses the shears intel
ligently, says the Burlington Hawkeye,
cannot be classed as q lazy editor.
Be it understood that to read and un-
derstand and appreciate the writings
of others and to be able to Gull from
the thoughts of fellow editor the gist
Of his argument 80 as to give the
readers the benefit is q task in COM
parison with which the writing Of a
long and ponderous leading" editorial
is child's play.
To have the mind capable Of recog-
nizing and culling the gems of thought
from exchanges is not laziness. To
read with care the numerous editorial
pages that come to an exchange table
so as to be thoroughly in touch with
the thought Of the day and to select
with intelligence the best Of this edit
orial thought is not laziness. 1t is the
hardest part of conscientious news
paper editors work.
The brightest editorial pages in the
State or nation are those which con-
tain, in addition to the thoughts Of the
editor, q we'll selected symposium OF
extracts from other newspapers. 1t is
this sort of editorial page which is OF
the most value to discriminating
reader, and it conveys more genuine
thought and imparts more pleasure to
the student of the worlds affairs.

Cured of His Bad Habit.

A few months ago the son OF rail-
way director was, through his fathers
influence, given a position Of some i'm
portance on q large railway. He was
fresh from Cambridge, and in the Or
ders which he from time to time is
sued to the men under him always
made use of the longest, most unusual
words. This habit led to some rather
expensive blunders, and, the matter
coming before the general manager,
be wrote the young official the fol-
lowing letter:
I'm promulgatng your esoteric cogl'
tations and in articulating your sup
erficial sentimentalities and amicable
philosophical, or psychological obser'
vations, beware of platitudinous pom

communication possess a clarified
conciseness, a compacted comprehen'
sibleness, a coalescent consistency, and
q concatenated cogency. Eschew all
condemnation Of fatulent garrulity
ieiune babblement, and asinine affec'
tation. Let your extemporaneous des'
cantings and unpremeditated expatia'
ton have intelligibility and veracious
vivacity without rhodomontade OF

The Swat Queens Cow.

The johannesburg Star gives an
amusing account of the interviews be-
tween Sir Arthur Lawley and the
Queen Regent of Swaziland on the oc-
casion CT His Excellency's visit to the
latter's country. "At the first confer
ence the Queen Regent got up from her
chair and walked to the table at which
His Excellency sat, and, leaning over
il, exclaimed in a stage whisper, which
was audible on every side, I don't
want to talk loudly about it. I just
whisper it in your ear but it is good
I should tell you that before the war
we used to receive money. Our beer
pots are now empty At the end Of
the interview the dowager, in taking
ner leave, remarked, we could have
given you a welcome in cattle, but we
are poor. All 1 have is one COW. It
is so small I will not call it COW; I
will call it a goat. Therefore, I say,
I give you a goat
His Excellency replied by telling
her that he would give her three oxen
as food for her people.
subsequently the Queen Regent
played about the grounds, dragging a
toy elephant after her, which toy had
been presented by Lady Lawley to a
child Of the late King.

I thought of the wolves that might
come when the snow had thawed
little and scatch down to me and begin
to graw my frozen flesh. saw myself
half eaten. my big muscles torn into
shreds. I faucied tie wolves would
leave my face to the last. and so my
people would know me. After While
I felt better. I did not know it, but it
was warmer there under the snow.
NJ breath melted little hole up
through the drift The air was cold,
but il was the sweetest relief in the
world that it was still and not cutting
like million little whip lashes.
presently I was able to press the
snow around me back, and l found 1t
would pack and stay, so l had little
room TO move. 1t was fearfully cold
still. and yet it was so much warmer
than had been that was quite cheer
ful. Then the thought came that per-
haps I had really died and did not yet
know it. This seemed after a minute
to be funny, and for the first time that
night l laughed. or thought l was
laughing: my face was frozen so l did
not move muscle.
at was about this time I noticed
could see button right under my
eve on my coat. The night had passed
and it was daybreak. My mind took
the fact in very slowly. I did not dare
get I'D or move. I deliberated whether
1 should try to get up. 1 almost de-
cided ST to do it. And then with a
snort and q grunt I was Oh my feet
and shaking off the snow. / shall
never forget the agony Of that moment.
If there was muscle in my body that
did not fairly shrek in a protest OF
pain it must have been in parts that
were frozen. But I took step for
ward and then tottered along and grad
ually learned again to walk"
This is Mr.. Eastman's side Of the
story, but Of his wife's long watch
through the night he cannot tell. He
only knows that in the early dawn.
when the sky was clear and few stars
shining family on the western horizon,
he saw a fainter light close to earth
which he thought might be house.
and rubbing snow on his face to take
out the frost, as he went, he strug-
gied painfully toward it. AS he drew
near he saw some one coming from the
opposite direction some one who
proved to be his wife. She and the
boys had been up all night and long
before dawn had gone out to find him.
He had been lost and we'll nigh died
within eighty rods of the house. The
boys were recalled by firing gun. The
stock was found to be all right. And
the minister's sermon was preached
that day with thankful spirit, but
a mighty sore, stiff body.

The man with the most gigantic cor
respondence is the Car Of Russia, who,
if he read all the communications that
are addressed to him, would have no
leisure from one weeks end to the
other. Five hundred letters, exclusive
of something like a hundred petitions
from people with grievances, reach
the Car daily. The contents Of all
these effusions are carefully noted by
the secretaries, who have strict injunc.
tons to inform his majesty Of every
complaint lodged by Russian SUBJ

fen put the annual income Of the 800.
100000 people inhabitinG British India
and the feudatory States at S2,340,O00,.
600, or SIS per cipita. Writing to the
London Times, William Digby. the In
dian authority, asserts that this is an
overeStimate. He says there is not
so great III income, actually, for the
0O,OOO,0O of to-day rs there was for
100000 twenty years ago. He says
that the total visible income of India
in 1900 was S1.449, 799,595. which gives
each individual less than $50 year
to live Oh. In the Presidency OF Mad
ras he estimated that the income Of
the 100000 inhabitants is five

Stockings of striking effect have nah
row bands of lace inset, many Of them
of contrasting colors, the most strik-

band of lace in some Of the stockings
undulates serpentine fashion over the

and in others inch bands Of lace are
set around the stocking from the ankle,

Possible Waterpower OF the 1iope'
Those who are looking forward with
trepidation to the time when the
worlds coal supply shall be exhausted
will find solace in some rough caucula-
tions by John Clarke HawkshaW, a
prominent civil engineer. concerning
the water power now going to waste.
He says: Assume depth OF ten
inches Of rainfall to flow or each
square inch of land surface, the mean
height of which may be taken rs ZZ'o
feet abnsze sea level. Then the wafer
from the whole surface falling through
the mean height would give lO,34o''
100000 horse power in perpetuity. Our
present yearly output of 225,0oO,ooo
tons of coal would give that horse pUw-
er for only a little over half day"

Ooo against $4,000 for 1908, although
the difference in the number Of men
