one seems to know definitely what we
may expect. For some time past there
has been movement toward pushing
the fullness up the arm, and many of the
summer frocks have shown considerable
fullness at the shoulder and suggestions
of the oldtime gigot shape.
The yo1.e is seen, too, upon some Of
the smartest Of the new shirt waists and
separate blouses; but here it does not,
as rule, take the extreme pelerine
form and is more like the oldtime shirt
waist yoke, only with some device to
lengthen the shoulder line slightly.
Black-and-whit continues with us,
and the combination is used with very
good effect in the turbans that promise

These turbanS are round, of medium
height, and very simply trimmed, con-
sorting well with the tailor costumes
described above. Made of white felt
splashed with black velvet, or of black
and white chenille, they are suitable
either for morning or afternoon wear.
For evening, they are little severe.
Plumes and quilts, used so much during
the summer, remain in fashion, the
white plume on the black hat is still in
good style, and a single black quill on
either a light or dark hat. The pompon
quill is net so stiff-looking, more be-
coming, than the quill common during
the summer.

but the fabrics themselves are
to be very like those worn by
men. Checks, printed-yarn effects,
heavy-looking material splashe6 with
color contrasting with the founda-
ton tone, all these are borrowed from
the garb affected by the sterner sex.
And the straight lines that will be in
vogue in preference to the carving ones
OF past years will add emphasis to the
general air of mannishness.
The fall costumes will look business
like, utilitarian, and perhaps suggest
to innocent man, because of their severe
simplicity, that they really are simple
and inexpensive. Not necessarily so.
Authorities declare the present year is
to be silk year, that all gowns are to
be provided with drop-skirt of silk,
that everyone must have waists of silk,
petticoats of silk, Innings of silk. And
the one item Of lining will therefore add
very considerably to the expense of
these neat, simple-appearing gowns.
But to offset the luxury of the free use
of silk, we are to have this winter the
economy of the short gown, even elabo-

In the autumn, rich autumnal shades
always are in vogue, but this year the

The very long shoulder effect must be
observed in the waist, either by means
of deep yoke, long, wide shoulder
straps. or a collar that shall come well
over the seam of the sleeve. And speak
ing of sleeves, it is difficult to declare
positively what is to be the right thing.
That they are to be full at the lower
part is certain, but whether or not more
fitness will be required above the elbow
remains to be seen. Present indications
point to little increase~of fitness at the
top.
Trimmings for waists will be varied.
Large, unique buttons are effective, es-
pecially on dark material, and on rich,
dark stuffs black fagoting over white
lining also is very effective Bias and
up-and-down tucks of self-materiaI are
used on the fall waists, and this orna-
mentation has the double merit of
cheapness and style. Stocks are almost
invariably the same material as tbs

the blouse. Long, stole-like stocks, OK

obtain this winter.

The Lying Of Children
BY PROF. R. A. HAIGHT.

There seems to be tendency in nearly all chill
dren to deceive and it manifests itself at an early
age. The motives which actuate children to lie are
somewhat different from those by which adults are
influenced in the same direction While the reasons
are about as numerous and diverse as the liars them
selves still they nearly all be classified under
one of the following heads: Lies of imagination,
inherited tendency fear of punishment, because
older people lie, because of too much confidence

Consul General Guenther says Ire
year 1906 was not prosperous. but the
increase was large in 1901. while 1902
showed still greater increase.
The increase for 1901 over 1900 was
81. $50 600, OF which u per cent was on
account OF Russian petroleum shipped
to Asia and South America. while the
high price fer European coal had cur
tailed the English coal export The af-
ditional increase OF trafic in 1902 is
mainly on account of return freights,
new and unexpected circumstance
The increase OF European exports by
way Of the suez Canal is inconsiderable.
Russian petroleum exports across the
Pacific decreased on account OF large
stocks in eastern Asiatic and South
African ports. while England, on ac-
count of lower prices for coal. increased
exports.
Return freights from the United States
increased. while those from Australia
remained unchanged

DEADLIEST RIFLE
EVER DESIGNED
New Model Arm Will Kill at Five
Miles.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass. July pa
hve-mile range is claimed for the new
model Springfield army rifle. which will
be the deadliest small arm yet designed
in the United States or Europe. Tho
Krag- -Jorgensen. or United States maya
zine rifle with which the regulars were
equipped in the Spanish war and which
at that time was regarded faultIess, is
according to recent tests. but a mere
toy as compared with the new weapon.
The demonstrated advantages OF the
new rife as compared with the Krag-
Jorgensen. which many experts consider
equal or superior to the small arm In
use in any European army, are de-
creased weight. greater velocity. great
er penetration, and an improved sight.
A special cartridge. which has been
designed for use in riots has a com
paratively small range. SO as TO obviate
danger to innocent persons who may be
mile or two distant from the disturb
ance. Round shot are substituted in
this cartridge for the penetrating steel
bullet used in an enemy's country.
Tools for the new rifle are now being
made at the armory IN Springfield II
Is expected that the equipment Of the
regulars with the new model will begin
