Embroidered and fancy collars rep.

scarcely knows where to touch the
fingers while making selection. The
smartest of them are made Of lace
embroidered or of Louis XVI. EN-

are deep lace collars embroidered
with small colored floral effects in
black chenille and gold thread, which
brighten up a black taffeta bodice
wonderfully. Narrow silk ties with
lace ends outlined with narrow sill
yer Russian cord are pretty, and
these display three or more silver
tiny cord buttons on the mitered ends.
The lawn embroidered cravats look

there are collar and cuff sets made of
fine lace insertion trimmed with white

Late Eads of Fashion.

La Tosca sticks are being used at
some weddings. With these the big
cavalier hats make a picturesque, if
rather theatrical, scene. Ostrich
plumes hold their own through the
seasons, though, at the beginning of
the present one we understood that
their place was to be taken by mil
linery blossoms. AS usual, a shape
has since come out in which they are
indispensable-thi time the "cava-

Combination of Laces.

Different kinds Of lace are COM
bined on the smartest frocks of the
hour. Valenciennes and heavy Irish
point are favored combinations. Real
lace is now employed in bewildering
quantities, and from two to three va
reties of the most expensive are
combined in one gown, and the great

The Value of the Cow.

The value of the COW for almost
any purpose is indicated by the
amount of -butter-fat she puts into her
milk. 1t used to be the idea before
the coming of the Babcock milk test
er that some cows were good for but
ter making. some good for cheesemak-
ing and others good to furnish skim
milk to sell to people that did not care
for anything except the solids other
than fat. But with the coming Of the
famous test we have learned that this
was a stupendous error. The cow in
dicates the value in all directions by
the amount of fat in her milk. A milk
with only two per cent fat would be a
milk with not more than eight per
cent total solids, the rest being wa
ter. In normal condition the ratio
of solids to fat is quite constant, and
the amount of solids can be approx
mately figured out from the known
percentage of butter-fat.

for children's frocks are equally appro-

made to match the gown with some
simple design embroidered onto the
material, or can be made of all-over
embroidery in place of the lace when
ever preferred.
The frock consists of shallow yoke,

The yoke is plain and fitted by means
of shoulder seams and is entirely con-
cealed by the yokecoilar, which is ar
ranged over it after the sleeves are
stitched into place.

While there are no large lakes or

numerous fast running streams fed

ance of the coolest and purest water,
the best for beast as well as man.
Englishmen and Americans In the
western territories are bringing in
their herds as fast as they can and
leasing or purchasing land in lots
from 1000 to 10000 acres from the
Dominion government. An idea OF the
growth of the industry will. however,
be gathered from the fact that in 1899
there were but Al All head of cattle
shipped and sold from the ranches.
These figures ran to. $751; in 1900,
and TO 100000 in 1903, averaging $40
per head for the owners. But il takes
a great many ranchers and large
number of cattle to cover an area OF
200, 100000 acres. the area available
for ranching in the Canadian North
west.
1t is not at all necessary that large
investments should be made at the
outset. Many men commenced with
small capital and small herds, and
have worked themselves into large
herds and great wealth. There is still
in the country plenty of room for
those who desire to go and do like
wise.

point. 1t is not necessary to threSh
over again the arguments concerning
the state of business under the tariff
Of 1916. None but a few free traders
who consider that truth is lie well
stuck to maintain that we had no hard
times under that tariff.
But what about 1873 and 1884? yells
the free trader. We will say that an
der the Morrill, tariff and war tariffs
we were doing splendidly, until 1872,
when it was thought best to make re-
ductions, and these reductions were
not only on general 10 per cent
basis. but many articles were put on
the free list 1t can be said, further,
that these reductions and transference
to the free list came at very unfOr-
tunate time, and, aggravated by the
money situation, brought about the
panic of 1873, and the business depres-
sion which followed. Duties, as
whole, were, however, protective, and
under the protection thus afforded we
recovered and went onward in the

But alas, in 1883 there were Repub-

was compromise, and another vital re-

business depression, from which, how
ever. we recovered because Of the gen
eraI protective character Of the law.
AS the Republican admits hard
times under the tariff of 1894, we will
simply turn to the other side.
In 1860. the Republicans found the
country and its industries paralyzed.
Protection brought prosperity.
In 1890, duties were increased and
prosperity increased with gigantic
strides.
In 1897. the country and its people
were bankrupt, and again a resort to
protection not only brought prosperity.

ACCORDING TO FACTS
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM STATE
MENTS ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
Has Always Been Followed by Busi-
ness Adversely, While Higher Tar
iffs Have Brought Business Pros
perity.

The only vulnerable point found IN
the Republican platform, from the
Democratic and Mugwump standpoint
is the sentence:
"A Democratic tariff has always
been followed by business adversely,
a Republican tariff by business pros
perity"
The statement might have been
wOrded little differently and retained
the same meaning. Platforms are not
details and planks are not e!abora
tions. Great underlying principles are
enunciated in the tersest possible way,
never ambiguous to the honest inter
prefer, but sometimes capable of much
twisting by the demagogue. Perhaps,
for the benefit of our free traders, the
sentence should have read:
Tariff reduction has always been
followed by business adversely; higher
tariffs by business prosperity"
This is what the plank means, and
this is what the free traders know it
means, and they also know that it is
true, although the Springfield Republi-
can howls liar and the New York
Times contents itself with "menda-
cious" and silly" while the Boston
Herald, New York Evening Post and
their echoes think it positively shame
full.

attempted by any country. Visitors
will be there in large numbers from
