blouses made with deep yokes of lace
openwork stitch, etc, the yoke falling
low on the shoulders. This idea is.
however, less distinctively Partisan,
and is carried out in host of domestic
models made of coarse materials.
Then we have the sheer blouses
which set aside all pretence of simplici-
ty and run riot in frills and drapery
and other features which are impractt-
cable in a blouse intended primarily
for wear under a coat-the Parisian's
only idea of purpose for a separate
blouse.
Some of these elaborate blouses are
charming, and the makers rack their
brains to find new details that will give
individuality. The fine net laces are
used for some of the prettiest models
and trimmed in tiny bouillonees of silk,
little ribbon ruches, knots and folds OF
soft ribbon, openwork stitching, etc.
Possibly a net matching that of the
lace may be the foundation of the
blouse and this is manipulated in all
possible ways by hand in addition to
it's generous trimming of lace.
Crepe is always a good blouse ma
terial, and the heavier qualities of chif-
fon, known as chiffon cloth, wear ex-
ceedingly we'll. Frequently sheer and
heavier materials are combined in one
blouse.
Bands of corded chiffon or other thin
stuff, are used for trimming blouses
of crepe or silk, apd little bouillonees,
ruchings, bands or plaitings of silk
trim the blouses of chiffon, net, etc.
Bands of shirred tucks in chiffon are
used as are the bands of corded chif-
fon, upon heavier material, and all
such trimmings are ordinarily set into
the silk or crepe with narrow bands of
lace insertion.
Lace insertion plays most impor-
tant part in the making of a sheer
blouse. 1t is set in in straight lines, in
points, in waving lines. 1t frames me-
dallions, forms scroll patterns, is Joined
by handwork into yokes and collars
and long mitten cuffs.

AMERICA KING OF STEEL
Comparison of Statistics Calls Atten-
ton to the Fact That England
Has Lost Supremacy.

The British tariff commission has
issued a statistical memorandum on
the iron and steel industry of the
United Kingdom, compiled by Prof.
Hewins and his staff, which is an
earnest of the thoroughness of the
work it has undertaken in presenting
an impartial review of the position Of
the staple British industries.
The first table, which gives the ac-
tual production of pig iron in the prin-
cipal ,iron-producing countries of the
world, shows that quarter of CEN
tury ago we produced $685. 900 tons OF
pig iron, Germany 100000 tons, and
the United States 2,250,000 tons; while
the returns for 1902 indicate an in
creased production of pig iron in the
United Kingdom, Germany, and the
United States of 100000, 100000,
and 13,500,00 tons, respectively.
The exact significance of these fig
ures is brought out in the next table,
in which it is shown that in the q
years under review England, from pro-
ducing 45 per cent of the worlds total
requirements of pig iron, has sunk to
the production of only 20 per cent,
whereas the United States, which for
merly produced Is per cent. is now re-
sponsible for SO per cent.
In a word, our supremacy has been
lost.
A study of the steel statistics shows
that the production of steel in the
United Kingdom, Germany and the
United States has, since 1876, increased
by 100000, 100000, and 100000
tons, respectively. From producing 3S
per cent. of the worlds total steel re-
quirements the United Kingdom now
produces only IA per cent, while the
United States has increased her per-
centage from SO to AZ, and Germany
hers from 16 2-3 to 81 1-3.
Other tables show that As per cent.
of the United Kingdoms requirements
of iron ore are obtained from abroad,
though there is NO reason to believe
that British mines have become ex-
hausted, and that during 1902, 203 fur
naces out of total Of 557 have been
damped down.

In the simple straw hats for spring

of straw roses and loops of straw.

catarrh in any form or la grippe. A
course of Peruna is sure to correct all
these conditions. 1t is an ideal spring
medicine. Peruna does not irritate--it
invigorates. 1t does not temporarily
stimulate-it strengthens. 1t equallzes
the circulation of the blood, tranquilizes
the nervous system and regulates the
bodily functions. Peruna, unlike so
many spring medicines. is not simply a
physic or stimulant or nervine. 1T is
natural tonic and invigorator.

With two big hands for the stirrups
And two little lips for the fee.
And now we are off at a gallop
Thro' meadows and valley and wood,
For visit to Peter Piper
And little Red Riding Hood.
And maybe we'll stop at the fairies
Down there in the hazel dell;
For where Papa Horsey will take us
The horsey himself can't tell.
And maybe we'lI call on Miss Muffet;
And maybe and maybe We'll come
To where one little pig went TO market
And one little piggie stayed home.

As the littlest piggie could talk
So surely wen nod in the saddle
And the gallop will come to walk.
And then we will be a the stable
And tenderly Horsey will stand

blouses through a window.
In the most exclusive importing es-
adjustments the simple French blouse
is the thing. Simple it is in line, but
it atones for this concession by an ex-
travagance in handwork that brings it's
cost up to distressing heights.
Tiny hand tucks, inset lace, open
stitching, hand embroidery are all Law
ishly used though eccentricity of
berthe or collar or sleeve is conspicu-
Gus by it's absence. Exquisite fineness
of material and extreme daintiness in
needlework are the making of these
French blouses, which are tucked or
shirred on the shoulders and have bish-
CD sleeves and transparent collar and
wrist bands.
They are made of finest lawn, MULE,
batiste, ETC., and the most charming of
them are ornamented by delicate trail
ing vines and flower clusters of hand
embroidery and by real valenciennes
lace and insertion.
There are, too, blouses of the same
description made of fine China silk,
louisine or the new favorite, messaline,
embroidered in silk of the color of the
material. Finest openwork embroidery
of batiste and English eyelet embroid-
cry on silk are made up into blouses
cut upon these same simple lines and
trimmed very slightly with valencien-
mes edging.
The tiny frill on the under Pierrot
ruche at the throat is seen upon some
of the French blouses, and occasionally
a little frill runs down center opening
in the front, but generally the blouses
open in the back, in order to give I'M
interrupted space for the embroidery
or inset lace on the front.
More pretentious, though still with
in French lines, are the sheer unlined

CLOTH MARKET sTAeNATED.
Disturbances Are Attributed to the
Cotton Situation.

Manchester January 3.-Stagnation
has characterized all departments of
the cloth market during the past week,
as the result of the disturbances in the
cotton situation. No serious attempt
has been made to bring buyers and
sellers together. Spinners have been
compelled to resort to the expedient'
of running their mills on short time.
1t is recognized, however, that the
resolution passed by the general meet
ing of members of the cotton trade
does not necessarily imply unanimity
on the part of the spinners as to clos
ing down their mills, but there is a
strong sense that all spinners have
interests in common and that they
should unite in recognizing the COM
mon dangers. Many spinners are pre-
pared to strain a point against their
immediate interests for the common
good.
Small lots of yarn were sold at fig
ures slightly under the previous quo
tations, but there was no anxiety to
sell any considerable quantities to GUS
toners, who may have cause to lament
should the prices of cotton drop heay-

DR.. VIM. Bauer Has Made Extensive
Study of Central Mexican Tribes.

Mexico City, January 3.-Dr. Will
liam Bauer, the German ethnologist,
has been studying the southern tribes
in the interior of the country, and be-
sides sending to Germany objects Of
antiquity, has compiled an interesting
and remarkably complete vocabulary
of languages spoken by the different
tribes The Zapotecan vocabulary is
5000 words, the fullest yet obtained
One of the most intresting tribes is
the Miseres, composing some 10000
persons, among whom are many fair
haired and light-skinned people. Tradi-
ton recounts that they are descended
from the Teutons of Europe. The race
is quite distinct from any other of the
Mexican Indians, and is noted for its
physical strength.
The Royal Museum of Ethnology of
Berlin has appointed DR.. Bauer it's
representative, and commanded him to
make fuller investigation into the hab-
its and traditions of the native Mexican
tribes.

we have come to expect more of ourselves
than we did before.
Grasping the Purpose.
Whenever we grasp the purpose ideal,
we will grasp the purpose fulfllment. A
purpose to accomplish anything must be
born deep in a mans soul; it must be
based upon a conviction, must count the
cost and must have an end in view. Paul
said. Il must see Rome" This was real
purpose. because it was based on the con-
viction of his individual responsibility to
the unsaved in Rome. OF Jesus 1t was
said that he steadfastly set his race
to go to Jerusalem" This was a real pur-
pose, because it was born of convie-
ton of His mission of redemption, and 1t
was a purpose that counted the cost You
must first realize your deep responsibility
to God and to humanity in this world, and
then counting the cost, climb toward its
fulfillment by the grace Of God. Lay your
purposes for the coming year at God s.
great throne of power; tell Him II you
will about the bafed purposes of the past,
about the apprehension you feel for the
future, about your lack of faith in your
self and then ask Him for the conscious
touch of His loving hand for every day of
1904.
