A PARTY DRESS.

and navy blue and dull red are tones
which lend themselves best to trim
ming with embroideries.
Loose sack coats and plated skirts
are among the smartest tailor mades
for the young person, and to be very
smart the hat should match. This may
either be Of the tricorne or the sailor
shape trimmed with twist Of velvet
and couple of good quilts.
The wide hat Of velvet or taffeta is
very becoming to a youthful face, and
particularly so when it is trimmed with
a wreath Of velvet shaded flowers.
Beaver hats adorned with coque
feathers to match are worn with work
manlike cloth costumes. Some charm
ing models in rough beaver, trimmed
with ostrich feathers and faced with
white cloth, have been designed to
wear with elaborate toilets of cloth or
velvet
The prettiest material for party
dress is crepe de chine, next to white
filmy fabrics, and the latter are not al
ways suitable The illustration shows
a very dainty little frock of crepe de
chine trimmed with maltese insertions
and lace. JUDO CHOLLET.

Judge Parry of the English judiciary
who enjoys the distinction OF being the
only judge who has written a play in
his judicial days, gives in the Cornhiil
Magazine, an amusing account of his
daily experiences as county court
judge in Manchester. One of his best
stories relates to feeble looking man
who was rebuked for supporting a
ridiculous claim made by his wife. Il

1t was once the doubtful privilege of
Judge Parry to overhear the comments
of two men against whom he had de-

disappointed suitors. One might sleep
under an unllinder epitaph,' is the phil
osophic comment of the judge.

LOOKER.ON IN IOWA:

Laurens, April Isl. p. Skinner, a
travelling man living a Il Grinnell few
years ago started in a small way the
cultivating of ginseng, this in his gar
den in beds four feet wide by sixteen
feet long. He paid % cents apiece for
plants and also bought some seeds at
the rate of Sd per hundred. The plants
We're put out in rows four inches apart
and the following cultivation was much
like that given parsnips or carrots.
However, as this root only grows, /. e.,
lives In shady places. he placed over
the ginseng beds a lattice work made of
fence boards, cut in two inch strips,
enclosing the sides, ends and top in
sort of grape arbor, high enough from
the ground so that he could stand under
it and attend to the plants. AS mice
have a great appetite equal to any
Chinanian, for this peculiar root he
placed twelve inch boards, set ten in
ches, sideways, in the ground all around
the arhor and thus protects the roots
from the mice. Ginseng grows every
year and produces ON each plant from
twenty-five to sixty seeds, worth as be-
fore stated, four cents each. This seed
VII UOJ grow uUtll SlsIletu iltOtikiiS dI-
ter maturity, and in the meantime must
be kept cool and moist, otherwise it
loses its vitality. The best way of pre-
serving them Is to pack them in screen,
ed boxes to protect them also from the
mice in sand, say four inches deep
and eighteen months afterwards in
early spring plant as ordinary seed.
The root, the ginseng of commerce, is
ready for market when two years old,
although the best results come from al
lowing it to grow five or six years, this
of course, increasing In size and weight
and an the meantime getting the yearly
crop of seeds, which, at four cents
each, runs into money. The root when
carefully dug up for market Is wash
ed thoroughly, must be absolutely clean,
Is dried on covered Stats to prevent
any dust or fly specks, then is packed
each root In cotton batting, and finds a
ready sale at $3.50 per pound, this for
the perfect unbroken root. Smaller
pieces, necessarily some i'm digging,
washing and packing are kept separate
and sold as dust at 81 per pound.

sALooNIsTs As CHURCH MEMBERS.

While the Roman Catholic church Is
using its influence to force its comr,un-
dcants out of the liquor selling business
the question of the admissibiiity of IL
Qnor dealers to church membership is
agitating the Protestant churches IN
the east where a Brooklyn Congrega-
tional pastor has lately admitted a
wholesale wine merchant to member
ship against the protest of the assist
ant pastor and number of the congre-
cation who have in consequence of the
pastors action handed in their with
drawal. The pastor justities his course
by saying in effect that the liquor deal
er's conscience Is not troubling him
and that the new member is as indi-
s-iduaiiy Christian as many others Of
the congregation.
The Brooklyn Presbyterian comment
ing on the case believes the liquor SELL
er should not be encouraged to pre-
Gent his application" hopes 1.-THE re-
grettable mistake of receiving liquor
dealers to church membership NAV not
soon be repeated" and hints that in
view of the widespread domestic and
social ruin attendant upon the business
dt would seem impossible for a LIQUOR
dealer however quiet his conscience,
to take his wine barrels, his brandy
barrels and his whisky barrels With him
thru the strait gate and the narrow way
into the kingdom of Christ and de-
clares "the real difference between
wholesale and retail liquor dealing lis
one between SHINING by wholesale and
shining by retail" The Presbyterian
questions whether the pastor and the
church receiving him did not by their
act place their Endorsement on the IL
quor traffic.
A Chicago trade journal devoted to
the liquor interests argues that the
buyers connection with the trade is as
reprehensible as the sellers and insists
that denial of the means of grace" be-
cause of this connection would shut the
gates of salvation In the face of the
vast majority of Christendom. 1t

EXIT HEARsT...PARKeR AND NOTHING.

The action of New York democrats
in giving mandatory instructions tc
their delegates in favor of Judge Par
ker as democratic nominee for the
presidency effectnally ends the boom
for w. r. Hearst; Hearst came to his
state convention backed by the Tam
many organization, but David B. Hill
was in control for Parker and Tam
many was allowed very little ito say In
the management of the convention.
Now that Parker lis New York states
candidate Hearst can make nc claim
upon the national convention. Without
New York the democrats have little
hope of success. Hearst cannot offer
New York as his chattel and hence is
out of the running.
But the result is not so encouraging
for Judge Parker as it might have been.
Tammany went home disgrunled and
of generalship 10 hog the whole thing"
whenever he found himself in con trol.
This is what he did ait Albany. Tam
many was for Hearst but realized It's
minority. and demanded only share
of the honors and ITO instructions. Hill
Was determined to grant to Talnmany
little or nothing. Compromises pre-
vailed upon him TO give up s)me of
the honors asked but instructions for
Parker were passed over Taminany's
opposition and protest on the floor Of
the convention. Going home .'sore"
Tammany cannot be relied upon to en-
ter the campaign with any extraordf-
nary enthusiasm and unless it be Tam
many that does it, the democrats are
not certain to carry New York.
The resolutions, too, were not vote
getters In the democratic party. With
great capitalistic leaders of street rail-
way corporations receiving the highes;
crying the Roosevelt administration as
"endangering commercial growth" and
with no expression on the trus ques-
ton. there is very little in the New
York convention to stimulate demo-
Gratis to great heights of exultation.
Judge Parker the candidate, sal 4 moth
ing, the platform said nothing and to
think of campaign with democrats
saying nothing is about as strange an
experience as to doubt deme,cracys
ability to accomplish nothing.
