SOME FADs or THE SEASON.
feminine Fancies That Crop Out in
the Costumes Of Up-to-Date
Dressers.

One OF the pretty fads of fashion Is
The nat chou OF ribbon with a paste
buckle in the middle of it, says the
Brooklyn Eagle
another fad is the windmill bow. with
q fancy rhinestone button sewed in the
middle.
Stiil another fancy is a metal button.
with little frill of lace set around il.
And there is also ribbon chou which
oas wings like butterfly wings, with
long, slender pin fastened in the middle
% represent the body of the butterfly.
The covering of button molds may
make very fascinating and wholly USE
:ul pastime for the woman who is in
sen1ous. Button molds are covered with
Japanese silk and are then touched up
with water colors. Water color designs
are seen upon many of them to make
he colors more vivid.
Button molds are covered with velvet
and these are set in the center of lace
knots with lace tabs hanging from the
lace knot. And there are molds that
are covered with bright silk, with lace
seWed over the silk.
Lovely ornaments are to be worn this
spring, made of cotton There are hang
Ing balls and cotton loopings and all
sorts of cotton braidings. These braids
ire put on by hand in the old-fashioned
way, in little twirls, just as one braided
ones gowns years ago. The narrow
white and colored braids are used and
the designs are distributed over skirt
panels, over yokes and over the caps
and the cuffs and sleeves
AS this is season of ornaments one
must not forget the little rosettes of
lawn and of linen which are so plenti-
fully used to trim the summer dresses.
These are made of long strips of linen,
doubled and shirred. The string is
pulled up until a rosette is formed.
Every woman knows how to make these
rosettes. They are used in place of rib
bon choux for trimming wash dresses.
They are placed upon the cuffs, upon the
belt, the stock and upon the yoke.
The size varies from the button rosette
for the stock to the rosette as big as
a saucer, which is placed upon the side
breadth of the skirt This is vastly
cheaper and much more durable than
ribbon.

No wonder the Cossack is famous

recently described the average career of
the future warrior. At the age of three
he learrs 10 sit astriGe a horse in the

the prayer OF publication, and returned

congratulated her on having given birth
to a Cossack.'
The Cossacks were not always under
Russian government, and indeed are
said by some authorities to have orig
mated from emigrants who could not
stand the slavery of the Russian sys-
item. and preferred so far back as the
tenth century to lead nomadic robber
life in the SteppeS of the Tartars.
These nomad hordes grew in power and
number till they became formidable
force. and as the Cossacks, or free
men," were more friendly to their Rus
sian kinsfolk than to the Tartars. they
gradually formed as convenient buffer
state. They elected their own atamans
(hetmans) or chiefs till the beginning
of the present century; they owned
large herds of cattle and many of them
attained considerable wealth AS they
grew in power they probably absorbed
Tartar and Circassian stock. Those in
the neigEborhood of the Don and Dnie-
per became 81 illful boatmen and fisher
men. though at least till the days of
Yermak they gained the major part of
their livelihood from pirate attacks
upon Russian merchantmen plying on
these rivers.
Under the present regime there are
no less than 81 regiments of Cossacks
under II main tribal divisions Chief
OF these are the Cossacks of the Don
who give name to a province of a mil

Lord Kitchener.

Capt. Won Tiedmann, German of
fcer. read a paper before the Military
society Of Berlin recently in which he
had this to say of Lord Kitchener:
"One of the reasons why he is not
we'll liked is that when off duty he does
not fall into the unconstrained, famil-
lar manner common among English Of
ficers. A soldier body and soul, his
instinct tells him that it is not right

is largely in evidence, and the enemy
is COMPOUNDED by various forms of
tricks. On campaign, moreover, the
Cossack is particularly useful, as he is
accustomed to scanty food and extreme
cold. while no better forager has yet
been discovered in the armies of Eu-
rope. The army of Napoleon on its re-
treat from Moscow had only too good
reason to regret the proves of this
nimble scout. who harasSed the dis
pirited TANKS of the once victorious
army. On the first day of the Russo
Turkish war of 1877 Cossack regiment
covered 20 miles in "a hours to secure
all important bridge, and the latest re-
ports from Korea show that Cossack
scouts have made daring dashes to the
south, in spite of the immense superb
GRITTY of the Japanese forces in the tri-
angle of Seoul and Pingyang and Wen
san.
A remarkable feature of the Russian
and Cossack soldier is his insensibility
to pain. In the Balkan struggle men
suffering from incredible wounds used
to march stolidly to the ambulance, sc
that soldiers left in the fighting line
should not have to be detached to carry
them away.
A good story, though not strictly Co.'S

PRAlRIEs BECOMING WOODS
Railroads and Government Unite in
Forestrating the Plains
of Kansas.

The largest area of timber land in
Kansas is the Yaggy tract of 500 acres,
near Hutchinson, says the New York
Sun. This has been under cultivation
for II years. In that time $4,000
worth of posts have been sold AID
100000 worth more are ready to be ia
ken. All of this production has been
secured simply by thinning out the
trees where the growth has been too
thick, and all of the largest trees are
still left for future profit This gives
an idea Of the immense profit in for
eStration.
In this work the railroads have
joined hands with the government and
the land owners. Twenty of them are
annual contributors to the National
Society of Arboriculture, and most of
them carry on independent forestra-
ton. The government has had experts
in the field in recent years drawing
plans for wood lots and suggesting the
proper trees. These men have also
been studying natural reproduction

teal use or assisting. it where desir-

is of rapid growth and great durabil-
ity. 1t puts on about an inch of di-
ameter each year, so that at the end
of 16 years good Sawlogs are produced.
Much of it brings higher prices than
walnut, some selling as high as 500 4
thousand feet. The forest reserves up
in the sandhills of western Nebraska
have proved a big success. While the
land will never be available for farm
ing. the planting of trees there has had
the effect of holding the surface water
and doing it out to the adjacent lands
so that many hundreds of acres have
been reclaimed.

ODD GOOD FRIDAY CUSTOM.
Portuguese Sailors Vent Their Wrath
Upon Straw Efigy of Judas
1Scariot.

There are curious Good Friday Gus
toms prevalent all over the world in all
communities where the Roman Cath
Ollie religion is the religion of the bulk
OF the common people. In Mexico. for
instance, on Good Friday little images
OF Judas are sold as souvenirs, and they
may either be preserved or broken
Tsth show of wrath "A still more
curious custom. however. is to be found
among Portuguese sailor folk. Not
long ago, says the New Orleans Times
Democrat, young man who now lives
IN this city was spending a spring on
the levees at the mouth of the Missis-
sippi with the engineer of those useful
entertainments, and on the Thursday of
Holy Week a Portuguese bark moored
against the levee to await the tide the
next day to carry it up the river to
New Orleans. On the Good Friday
morning he and the engineer went
aboard mis- bark at the invitation of
the captain to witness the Good Fri
day celebration of the crew.
A 1ffe-size straw effigy of Judas had
been constructed in the night, and now
was suspended from crosstree. a bag
labeled Thirty Pieces of Silver in it's
hand. This effigy was so suspended
that it could be lowered from one cross
tree, falling by the side of the ship and
trailing through the water, and then
raised to the crosstree of the foremost
Two Sailors one below either cross
tree, pulled the ropes that swung it,
and as soon as the Americans had ar
rived the rest of the crew gathered at
the gunwale and gave the signal to
swing down Judas
AS the effigy passed by the rail the
crew, armed with boathooks. prodded
and tore at it's body with cries of rage
and imprecation and again stabbed at
it as it rose, dripping and soggy and
torn, from the water and swung up to
the other crOsstree. Again the ef1gy
descended by the rail, and again the
crew shouted and tore at it with their
boathooks. This was repeated until the
efffgy was entirely demolished and the
remnants of its clothes and the broken
pieces of the straw were drifting out on
the waters of the Mississippi.
