frock; and the new materials should
inspire even home dressmaker to
artistic feats.
Lent is favorite time for home
sewing, and many girl is doing severe
penance by keeping a seamstress to
fashion summer gowns; while the girl
who scorns homemade costumes has
either filed her trunks with thin
frocks and fitted southwark or is con-
ferring with her dressmaker and pre-
pairing for the summer campaign.
For the home dressmaker the gowns
shown in the illustrations are not
problems too appalling, though no
prettier models of a simple sort are
to be found in the dressmaking shops,
and all are designed from ideas fur
nished by expensive models.
With the rise of the blouse and the
loose effects has come the triumph

come popular heroes through famous
victories, for which reason they were
taken into politics and made presiden-
tial candidates, as being more likely
to defeat the civilian candidates of the
opposite parties.
Presidents Buchanan, Garfield, Ben
jamin Harrison and Mckinley were
public men of long and prominent serv-
ice, who, without surprising other men
of their own parties, perhaps, were
plainly in the front rank. They were
finally preferred in the nominating
conventions because we'll and strong
ly supported by their adherents, and
because their prospects of success
favorably impressed the members of
the conventions.
Presidents Lincoln and Cleveland
were public men who each made a
rapid rise to national Importance be-
cause he seemed to be the very man
to deal with questions out of the
ordinary line of politics, which much
engrossed the popular mind at the
time.
Now let us see what our 20 exam
pies can teach us about how to at
tain the presidency. First, we must
put aside Washington, Taylor and
Grant as exceptional instances; for
we shall hardly again have creator

We have changed all that. The thin
summer frock turned out by an artist
is still, in majority of cases, untub-
bable, but that is because of its sheer
ness, itsllaces and intricate handwork
and general elaboration. not because
of its lining. The unlined blouse and
skirt are much in evidence and all
severe lines are taboo.
To obtain the proper neglige effect
without crossing the line of slouchi-
ness, to compass the artful artlessness
of the correct summer frock requires
care and thought. In the first place,
the under garments must be adapted
to the frock
Badly fitted corset covers, petit
coats, etc, can spoil the lines of any
thin frock. There should be no awk,
ward fulness around waist and hips.
The petticoat should reach to the floor
and have the correct fulness and flare
around the hips.

A SPRING STREET COSTUME.

come into fashion-plain trained
skirts to fit hips perfectly, then grad
ually flow out round the feet, finished
with vandyked trimmings in passe-
menterie, appliques, etc.-a pleasant
change from the founces, tucks, etc.
Stitched straps and fiat braids trim
many of the new woollen goods and
the new short bolero sacks make the
smartest of outdoor garments for
spring. They slip on easily over the
blouse, and reach to or nearly to the
waist, giving very trim appearance
to the figure.
For golf, cycling and other outdoor
sports, the latest creation is knitted
or crochet bolero coat, double-breast-
ed, fastened on the one side with large
buttons, the waistband pouched in
front, and with bishop or banded
sleeves. The neck opens a trife to
show collar and tie, and very smart
these boleros are, made in one or two
colors.
These knitted boleros are lined with
plain silk or satin, or with quilted
silk, as may be preferred,
Many of the new spring coats are
sack-shape, and made after the style
of the Japanese coat, showing most
handsome embroidery.
Later on, when the warmer days are
with us, we may expect much variety
in the way of small but smart capes
and pelerines. ELLEN oSMoNDE.

fungus stems and suckers just as
carefully as a human planter would.
AS soon as the fungus begins to grow
it sends out fine threadlike stems in
to the air. If these are allowed to
grow they will finally bear spores.
But the ants do not allow them to
grow. They keep certain members
of their colonies busy biting them off
the moment they appear.
After being pruned for short time
the fungus begins to develop little
swellings which are particularly rich
in albumen. And after being culti-
waited for few months the little
swellings are found everywhere
around the bottom of the pile.
Some species of ants carry fertil.
izers to their gardens. They bear
finely chewed wood, moldering leaves,
dead insects and other similar ma.
eerialto the fungus plantations to en-.
rich the soil and increase their yield.

CROPS RAISED BY ANTS.
Well AS Pruning Exhibited by
Some. Species.

Recent study of ants has added an
other to the many facts that show the
intelligence these insects possess. The
latest discovery is that some species ac-
tually plant and raise their own crops.
The big leaf-cutting ant of the trop-
les is the most proficient species in the
agricultural line. These ants visit
plants and cut little fragments out of
the leaves. Sometimes they will ruin
a whole plantation over night, leaving
the plants with ragged fragments of
their foliage.
Until recently it was supposed that
the leaf-cutters ate the pieces of leaf.
But now it is known that they carry the
fragments to their mounds, where they
chew them o%er and over, moistening
them at the same time with acid secre-
tions, until they have made soft
spongy mass. This is kneaded and
worked over and over again until it is
a big heap full of small holes.
In this spongy mass the ants deposit
the spores Of certain fungus which
forms the greater part of their food
supply. Different species of ants have
different species OF fungus.
To produce most albumen the fun
gus must not be permitted to seed. OF
course this is simple matter, well
known to every florist and agricultur-
list. But it is certainly wonderful that
ants should have learned it,.
They attend to the pruning of tho

baby Devoured by hears.

From Richmond, Va, comes an ac.
count of three ferocious bears which
are roaming in the mountain region
of the Old Dominion. The animals at.
tackled the children of man named
Parker and killed and ate his stwo-year-
old baby. Parker's three children
were playing on the edge of the wood
only few hundred yards from the
house, when the bears suddenly made
their appearance. The animals were
very bold, and the two older children
rushed madly to the house, forgetfu
of the baby. The father and mothe,
hurried to save the little one, but aL
ready the bears had killed the child.

A Cure for Rheumatism.

Alhambra, H., Mar. .23rd:-Physicians are
much puzzled over the case of Mr.. +. j. Os-
wald, of this place. Mr.. Oswald suffered
much with Rheumatism and was treated by
doctor after doctor with the result that he
got no better whatever. They seemed un.
able to do anything for him and he contin-
ned to suffer till he heard of Dodd' 8 Kidney
Pills.
Mr., Oswald began a treatment of this
remedy which very soon dad for him what
the doctors had failed to do, and they cannot
understand it.
;, This is the same remedy that cured Hon.
Fred A. Busse, our State Treasurer, of a
ago, and which has since had an unbroken
record of success in curing all forms of
Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble

ful diseases that Dodd's Kidney Pills will,
