womnn,s Blouse or Shirt Waist.

Shirt waists made with slot seam and
broad boz pleats are among the novel
Ties u Tie season. This very smart
model includes them both with the
fashionable straps at the shoulders
and centre back. The slot seams at
the back are peculiarly desirable, as
they are laid to form V and give ta-
pering effect to the figure.
As shown the waist is of pale blue al
batross with bands piped with black
liberty satin and stitched with black
corticelli silk, and is closed by means
of large gold studs, but all wasting
materials are appropriate. Cheviot, ma
dras and all washable fabrics are ad

and build miniature mountain around
the vial. Build 1t high enough to con-
ceal the vial entirely, but leave a
small hole in the top OF the mountain
clear down to the cork in the vial.
Thus the miniature volcano will be
all ready to be set off.
Strange to say, not fire, but water,
will be needed for this purpose. A
real volcano has both, for the explosion
is caused by the contact of water with
red hot melted rocks down in tie earth
and the enormous pressure of the
steam thus generated breaks open the
earth and throws out the melted rocks
as lava. But this little volcano can
be started into action simply by pour
ing water into the glass vessel until it
comes two or three inches above the
top Of the little mountain. Then give
the water q rotary motion and watch
for few moments and you will see
red streaks coming up through the wa
ter and gradually spreading out into 4
red cloud. The volcano is erupting!
But what makes the red wine rise
through the water in that way? 1t
rises because it is lighter than water.
1t would have remained in the vial, OF
course, if We had not poured the water
into the vessel, but when the two
liquids have come in contact, the
lighter rises to the top. Your teacher

HOW TO MAKE A VOLCANO.

If one could only stand off and adj
mire the grand spectacle made by a
volcano in eruption, without being in
danger from it and without anybody
else's being in danger, there isn't one
of us who would not look on the
privilege as rare treat. But as real
volcanoes have way of making them
selves terrible to the spectators, and
Of killing people and laying the country
waste, q miniature one, one that will

TWENTY TWO CENTURIES OLD.
Most boys and some girls have played
in their time the game of dibs, or
knucklebones, but few of them know
that the game has existed since the
third century B. c., and is probably
still older. How it was played in an
cient days no one can tell, but the
ankle-joint bones OF the sheep, OK
deer and pig were used, and the game
was called "astragai," from the Latin
word for the ankle-joint. In Scotland
pebbles are often employed, whence
the name, "chuckles." Even precious
stones and gold and bronze "stones'
have been used, and in some countries
the bones were marked with numbers
and colored to represent kings, queens,
knaves and pawns.

woman's Blouse Waist.

BLOUSE waists that include wide vertl-
cal tuclSs and are made with Hunga-
r;an sleeves are much in vogue and are
very generally becoming as well as
fashionable. The stylish May Manton
example shown in the large drawing Is
made of pale pink peau de cynge,
stitched with black corticelli silk and
trimmed with applique of black SILK
and fancy buttons, but all soft, pliable
waist and gown materials are equally
suitable and the design suits both the
odd waist and the entire costume. Inc
nointed straps make feature ana
novel one, and both stock and cults are
new and desirable.
The waist is made over smoothly
fitted lining that closes at the centre
front and itself consists Of fronts and
back. The back is tucked to the form
of a V to give the fashionable tapering
effect to the figure. The fronts also are
tucked and are closed invisibly beneath
the innermost tuck at the left side.
The back is without fulness, but the
fronts blouse slightly and stylishly.
The sleeves are made over fitted Innings
and consist of the tucked upper portion,
full puffs and the pointed cuffs. The
stock is finished separately and closes
at the centre back.
The quantity of material required for
the medium size is six yards twenty
one inches wide, four and half yards
twenty-seven inches wide or two and a
half yards forty-four inches wide.

the SIMPLICITY OF SHAW.

Secretary Shaw is one of the most
exceptional men in public life today.
Because of the simplicity and direct
ness with which he approaches pupiie
problems he differs from nearly all otn-
ers. After years of continued confer
enne. bankers conventions and agIta-
ton over asset currency he comes for
ward with plan which would virtual

lie that the banks We're issuing ener-
gency circulation, hence would not be
subject to the danger of unssttling pub

In the elaborate plans for asset curren-
cy heretofore presented.
AS Shaw says, if we must have an

ret it, but there is no Disgusting the
Act that the small banks are strongly
lpposed to any currency scheme that

NH tell to the world or to a competing

But here comes the standpatter with
his warning to let well enough alone

now 1t takes men of nerve TO walk de-
libersttely into the responsibility for
what might happen with change

seuusntly it is useless to expect curren
cy reform to come very soon. The dis
cussion is educational, however, so let

THE TREASURY SURPLUS.

August operations show the federal
treasury again fairly on the road to a
subs tanual annual surplus. Visions of
stringency might have been evoked a
month ago by the announcement that
JaIly-the first month OF the new fiscal
year-had brought deficit OF S7.176.-
G12. But these visions Rave been put
to Hight by the appearance, for the
felt, but of counterbalancing surplus
OF s6.so7,677. Within thirty days Juiy's
discouraging Balance has been virtually
wiped out, and by the end of the first
quarter month hence-there is every
promise of an actual surplus. year
ago at this time the treasury deficit was
$1.552,40S Yet from that point on re-
ceiIts steadily overbalanced expendi-
lures, until the surplus rose at the
years end to over s50,000.00O
The startling gain made by the Au-
gust over the July showing is due al
most entirely to reductions in the gov
ernnlents expenditures. In July $780,
3sS1ss was paid out in August only
S42Y945,000. Receipts for July were
s4s.s11,576. For August they were
sls,S52,6T7. July's level Of outlay was
an abnormal one, and August seems
merely to have restored a more natu-
- ,..i..ao ,,a+,,aa, ra.a;y,ts an5 ay
pei.ditures.
Iuly's statement showed a certain
tendency to shrinkage in the receipts
from customs. Compared with July.
1892, the falling off amounted to ST.
$4,000. For August the shrinkage is, a
little greater Customs receipts for
August, 1902, were $26,5S2,231. For the
month just ended there We're s25, III ia
II difference of s1,460,517. Maintained
ct this rate, the loss for the year on
customs would foot up from s1s,0o0,000
to SIS, 100000. But this decline is being
offset by a steady Increase in internal
revenue receipts. In July. 1902, the
governments income from internal
taxation was s21.61s.74s. In July of this
year IT had risen to nearly s22.ooO,00o.
In August, 1902, internal revenue re-
ceipts were only s17,535,36S. But in
August of this year they rose to $19,-'
