Entire Costumes of Calf.kin.

Envious of the baby lambs popular
ity the young calf has appeared in the
world of fashion and with success.
says the New York Press. Muffs, stOles
and cuffs of the sleek brown and white
piebald calfskin are the latest things.
Many persons say the skin is not pref
~. but what has that to do with its
being fashionable? But calfskin was
commonplace beside the complete suit
of black undressed kid worn by Mrs.
John Markle of New York, daughter OF
Mrs. ]. Hood Wright, when she re-
Gently sailed for Genoa. The skirt was
of walking length and the coat half
tight and of knee length, with strap
ped seams and large kid buttons. For
steamer wear nothing could be better.
and for shopping, golfing, and, above
all, for the automobile, these suits of
kid are admirable. Mrs. Austin Corbin
wore muff. stole and hat of calfskin
in modish brown anu white one day
recently. But il may prove that the
sleek "bossy" will appeal more to wo-
men who can afford to humor every
within than to the lover of beautiful
warm furs.

HAGUE PEACE PALACE.
Details of Plans For Andrew Car
negIe's Gift to the World.


Final decision has at last been
reached concerning the Carnegie peace
palace at The Hague. says the New
York Tribune. The announcement was
made the other day that the Dutch
government had purchased n plot of
land situated at the eastern end of The
Hague. behind the Botanical gardens,
to be given to the Carnegie committee.
Following that it was officially an
nounced that the future palace of arbi-
tration would be built on the plan OF
the brussels Palace of Justice, of
which it will be an exact copy on Il
smaller scale.
The estimated cost of the peace pal
ace is $1,GlO,O0O. or about one-fifth the
amount expended on the Brussels Pal
ace of Justice. Mr.. CarnegieS original
offer on April %. 1903. was S1.5OO,O0o.
Doubtless he will supply the rest. The
general appearance of the palace now
about to be erected will be that of Il
capitol. The style of the building viii
be classical, or eco-Roman, as it j.;
called here.
The editice will consist of main
building. flanked ut each end by fore
part and with spacious central pOr-
tico as the principal entrance. 4 dou-
BILE row of columns will rise to the
right and left of this portico and be-
hind them large monumental stair
case leading to the principal audience
room. where the court of arbitration
will hold its sittinCs. This audience
chamber is to cover 12,O00 square feet
being 30 feet long by 100 feet wide,
with enormous pilasters of white mar
BILE. Beyond this main chamber will be
the principal committee room, modelled
after the court of assiZes of the Brus-
sells palace. with facingS of variegated
marbles. At each end of this commit
tee room will he subcommittee rooms.
Above on the second floor. will be
two spacious rooms, one reserved for
the president and the other for the sec
rotary of the permanent court of arbi-
tration. The first of these rooms is to
be ornamented with marbles of vari-
Gus colors The second will have pill
lars of pink stucco, with pedestals of
gilded bronze.
The dome which will surmount the
palace and will. it is expected. give a
ma jeStic aspect to the structure will be
by two SuperpOsed galleries,
the lower being square shaped. the
other round, f1anked by enormous
bronze statues of Clemency, Justice,
Law and Strength.

Only Makes a Bad Matter Worse.

Perhaps you have never thought of
it, but the fact must be apparent to
every one that constipation is caused
by a lack of water in the system, and
the use of drastic catharticS like the
old fashioned pills only makes a bad
matter worse. Chamberiain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets are much more mild
and gentle in their effect. and when
the proper dose is taken their action is
so natural that one can han dly realize
it is the effect of a medicine. Try a

A true story is told of skeptical
Massachusetts, captain who, way back
in the early years Of the republic, de-
termined to exhibit the fallacy Of the
Friday superstition. He contracted on
certain Friday for the building Of a
ship, and it was arranged that the keel
of this vessel was laid on Friday, that
she was launched on Friday, named
Friday, commenced loading on a Fri
day and hauled into the stream ON the
same day Of the week. To add to the
possibilities of disaster, a negro cook
named Friday was engaged, and, thus
fully freighted with the sinister name,
the Friday sailed on a Friday, bound to
q port in the West Indies. From that
day to this no tidings Of the i'll condi-
