foreign countries regulate the ex-

seems to be the most frequent
method of procedure, though of

Advertisements generally are tax
ed in the German empire. In
Austria there is no tax, but pub
lie permission is necessary for the
public postins of a placard. The
public authorities determine
whether an advertisement is lit to
be posted or not. La Italy all
kinds of advertisements except
those inserted in newspapers are
taxed. Every advertisement must
have tax stamp attached to it
when it is put up. In France the
character of advertisements is con-
trolled by the police, who have
authority 10 suppress any adver-
tisement of a sensational type. All
advertisements are taxedin France.

Proverbs
When the butter won't

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn,' is an old time dairy
Droverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh We
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

her case affords the first accurate line
since that of Miss Alice Thaw. who be-
came countess of Yarmouth, upon the
cost of a titled husband.
In the case of Miss ThaW the brides
mother took the unusual step of telling
the Associated Press the facts of the
nuptial arrangement. From her state
ment figured that the young man was
to receive fund which he could not
touch, and whose income was about
that of a fairly successful lawyer, say
$4,000 year. No one supposes that this
limits the cost of being a countess. Tho
countess of Yarmouth received upon
coming of age almost exactly an even
million dollars, in addition to her share
Of the Hecla Coke trust, which is to be
Kept intact for years. Really she turned
over only about one-tenth of her income

in biscuit color this hat would be. very
pretty, TOO, and rather more servicea-
able than in white. As a design also
for a black picture hat, either in beaver,
il felt, or IN chip, this sketch could be
copied very successfully.
The third hat illustrated is quite novel
In design and very becoming. 1t is in

should be made IN brown smooth
beaver, with a fairly high crown, which
is, however, entirely concealed from

way of trimming This trimming con-
sfsts of three large flat wheel-shaped
rosettes, composed of little frills of
brown mirror velvet, closely gathered.
Each rosette is finished in the center
with a large far button covered also
with velvet The three rosettes are set
round the crown, back to back, and form
a most original aud effective trimming.
Fur toques will be worn a good deal

just indicated in the sketch. The smart
/ style of this dress distinctly echoes those
of Louis XVI. modes, which are exer-
Ecising such a powerful influence at the
moment upon the fashions both for day
and evening wear, the coat with its
gauntlet cuffs Indicating one of the COM
ing styles for madame, no less than for
mademoiselle.
1t is suggested that this charming
little froek should be carried out in q
soft, smooth cloth, in one Of those deep
shades of chocolate brown which are SO
much il vogue The skirt, which is
fairly full, is trimmed only with num-
bers OF lines of fine taiIor-stitching, ar
ranged in battlement from round the
hem. Similar bands OF stitching appear
upon the coat, and also on the gauntlet
cuffs, the latter, by the way, being fin
ished very daintiIy with friIls Of ivory
white Alencon lace. Another idea OF the
moment would be to have, in place of
the lines OF stitching, bands of very
wide, bright silk Russian braid, match
ing exactly the brown Of the cloth, and
arranged upon the coat, in the same way
as the bands Of stitching in the sketch.
On the skirt there might be three or
five rows of the wide braid, put on at
intervals of an inch or SO apart.
AS to the bIouses for wearing with
this skirt it. would be as well perhaps
to have two. One Of these might be in
cream AIeneon lace, one iEory-white
oriental satin, with high neckband Of
folded lace, and a very full lace jabot
to cover the front. This should be kept,
of course, for smart occasions, while
a second blouse might be provided in
dark brown taffetas glace, matching the
color Of the cloth, and prettily tucked
and gathered. A cravat Of Alencon lace
could be provided also to wear with this
blouse, and so match the lace rufI1es
which finish the sleeves. The lining OF
the coat might be Of leaf-green soft
satin, and a little touch Of the same color
in the way Of small bows of green velvet
ribbon drawn through tiny buckles Of
bright steel, might be arranged with a
pretty effect, upon the taffetas glace.
The idea of combining green with
brown (Which is always a successful
one, provided the right shades Of each
color are chosen1 should be repeated in
the hat. which is made IN brown soft
felt, and in enc OF the newest and most
becoming of those Marquise shapes
which are particularly suitable for
young girls. The crown Of the hat is
draped with brown taffetas gIace silk,
which could easily be Of the same kind
as that Of which the silk blouse is made.
and it is important that all the shades
Of brown should match exactly. Then,
by way of eaehe-peigne, lifting the hat
off the hair at the back and forming
a useful foundation for the inevitable
hat pins. there are draperies and choux
of Ieaf-green mirror velvet.
AS far as more useful everyday froeks
for mademoiselle are concerned, there
still remains nothing more suitable than
d serge taiIor-made costume, with a
three-quarter length perfectly plain
coat, tight at the back. perhaps, and
semi fitting in front, and a short walk
ing skirt, also quite plain.

Henry Goak1ey, q gambler desperate,
was killed by another of the same grim
stripe in that sort of contest where the
slowest to shoot is the quickest to die.
How do all the crooks live? You can
see them any fine day as you go up
Broadway, summing themselves in front
OF the less reputable saloons between
Tkirtieth and Forty second street.
Cunously, these are the limits of most
of the theaters, of dozen fashionable
florists, of high-class coRfeetioners and
other establishments that cater to-
women. The men behave on the whole
rather better than less abandoned char
aeters. They like to live in New York
when not busy, and quickly return TO the
city after Jobs, 500 or 1, 900 miles away.
There is not enough robbery going on
in this city to support them all The
police know them ByrIe's famous

Broadway habit. The lecturer of the

times indicate a group of them SO that
visitors may look upon them and won-
der.
Somehow, the situation reminds me OF
Tangier, which once visited, which is
inhabited by 5000 desperate criminals,
the offscourings of all lands, in a popu-
lation Of perhaps $4,000; yet which is an
orderly city, for the criminals have no.
