MODES OF THE MOMENT.

Princess dresses are much in vogue
for balls and dinners.
For house dresses yellow, in oil
shades from cream to rich orange, is a
fad of the season.
The smooth finished black cloth gown
is considered much smarter than the
rough textures, however fine.
The epaulet effect is much in evidence
on many of the new blouse waists, and
the deep collar is also to be seen on
them.
There is quite a "rage" for fancy
vests, and these, being adjustable, may
be many and varied, to suit the occa-
sion, coat or gown. IT,
The latest fad is to wear a short
Elton jacket Of fur that will either
match or contrast with the cloth, vel
vet or %velveteen gown.
Combinations of the long haired, silky
Eibelines and plain broadcloth are novel
features on some of the smartest win
ter models. The effect is like a fur
trimmed gown.-New York Tribune.

An enlargement of the main postof-
fee in Berlin has been made necessary
by the enormous increase in the num-
Der of parcels.
The number of new books printed in
Germany last year vas $4,000, and this
represents less than one-tenth of the
manuscripts offered to the publishers.
There is an increasing consumption
of potato alcohol Tor automobile mr.
poses in Germany, where at present
five times as many potatoes are raised,
in proportion to the population. as in
the United States.
Every fire station in Berlin has now
been equipped with an oxygen appara-
tus to revive persons overcome by
smoke or heat. Ordinary citizens may
also have the loan of the apparatus in
cases of urgent need.
The transferring from Leipsic to
Plauen of IL German foot regiment

The Russian Army.

The Russian army in point of mum
bers is the largest in the world. Nearly
100000 young men reach their majority
in Russia every year, and each is bound
by law to spend five years in the army.
II all were taken they would make An
army too large even for Russia, SO only
019,OOO go to the colors with the army
or the fleet. and the rest &c to the re-
serve. The lowest peace strength of
the Russian military establishment,
therefore, numbers more than Il million
men, with $4,000 officers. In war time
practically all these young men join
the colors. swelling the army to the
s%tupendous figures of 4,50O. 900 men and
$4,000 officers, for whom there are pro-
vided 5000 horses. Men who are in
a position to guess shrewdly say there
are more than 100000 Russian soldiers
in Manchuria or near it now. The num-
Der that can be put in the field there is
limited only by the will of the govern

the house to lunch. 1t is rare that he
is without guests, except on Sunday.
which he always tries to have a strict
" family day.
The president regards a horse as a
necessity rather than a luxury. A
good horse is essential for his comfort,
a horse that can gallop over rough
country and take Il hurdle or Il brook

He has no patience with those effem-

woods with a cook and half a dozen
servants, who carry with them Their
wine and their whisky. which the
president never touches, and who bring
civilization into the forest. A horse, q

Time at Home.
Russell Sage has departed from his
lifelong habit of visiting his Office with
clocklike regularity regardless of
weather conditions or the temperature
Of the elevated cars in which he rides
and is now seen in Wall street at in
frequent intervals. He has gradually
withdrawn from participation in the
affairs Of the financial district and is
now no longer nm active figure in Wall
street, says the New York Herald.
Needing the advice OF friends and in
response to the earnest cntreaties of
Mrs. Sage. the aged fnancier now
spends most of his time in his new
home in Fifth avenue.
When Uncle Russell. as he is IA
miliarly called in the street. does go
downtown. he is accompanied by an
attendant.
Instead of arriving at his office early
and remaining until late. as has al
ways been his custom. Mr.. Sage drops
in during the forenoon. looks over his
mail and returns home early in the
day. He seldom attends meetings of di-
rectOrs Of the corporations in which he
is interested.
Mr.. Sage's condition has given con
siderable concern to those who are
near him. He did not appear at his
Office at all recently. and at his house
Mrs. Sage, in response to a note of in
quiry. asked to be excused from being
seen. She sent word that Mr.. Sage was
not i'll.
Mr.. Sage's Office work las been trans
ferred to others. Loans are made by
Mr.. Menzies. his managing clerk. who
uses his own judgment as TO the Value
Of the collateral and does not bother
Mr.. Sage with the details.
Mr.. Osborne. who has been cashier
in the office so long that the memory
Of Wall street men runnethS not to the
contrary. attends to most Of the routine
business.
Mr.. Sage still insists upon visiting his
Office once or twice a week and sur
prised his employees by going down
town during the recent cold snap. He
was eighty-seven years old last August.
Up to his illness one year ago he was
a man of unusual vigor for his age.
He recovered his health. but since
his illness business affairs. which for
have ceased to interest him.
In his passing Wall street has lost
one of it's most interesting characters.
