Sofa pillows.

The new soft pillows are now being
made of very gorgeous and rather
costly materials, silk velour and gold
cloth being really the latest thing.
These are heavy and wear well, SO
they pay in the end If one does not
become tired of the same cover. Cold
braid is used for finishing and narrow
cordings of velvet are frequently used
along the edge. The cloth OF gold Is
a dull shade, suggestive Of bronze, and
the design is handsome novelty, but
not really practical for everyday use.
Leather designs are still handsome
for the den and are delightfully."- dur
able, but not at all appreciated as an
article intended to promote rest. ORR
entail designs are most attractive and
are quite inexpensive and are made
with very little work. The heavy
linen stamped with odd conventional
designs make up very prettily for a
really useful pillow, while the plaid
glnghams and other wash fabrics are
still holding favor for the couch which
is used for the siesta.

anna canal, Senator Morgan is not sal
isfed with canal strip" ten miles
wide. He wants to annex the entire
Isthmus, canal strip, Colon, Panama
and all. His bill provides that all
the rights and properties of the Re,
public of Panama of every description
shall vest in the United States of
America, without reserve, and shall be
subject to their sovereign Jurisdiction.
1t is true that Senator Morgan does
not propose to take the Isthmus with
out some compensation. He would
give for it $1O,OOO,OOO, which he re-
CARDS as a good price for territory
that contains only S1,571 square miles.
He does not neglect also to provide a
balm for the bereaved Colombians in
the shape of $15.O00,000.
The eloquent senator will be warm
ly welcomed to the ranks Of the "im-
perialists." The important thing to
the country. however, is the fact that
Senator Morgan has finally admitted
that the Panama canal is q probable
ity.

Bridal Fashions,

Brides are wearing the plainest Of
Gead-white satin gowns at the altar.
These are generally cut en- princess.
with some beautiful lace employed for
the empiecement and sleeves.
Lace wells are more worn than tulle.
The flowers for this occasion are
white roses and myrtle; a sprig of
orange blossoms is generally mingled
with the flowers of the wreath. These
are worn rather low on the forehead,
the hair being pulled we'll forward
and pinned here and there over the
flowers to prevent that heavy regular
ity of the line of white that is some
times so trying to the prettiest and
youngest of faces.

Panama route with all its risks to no

Panama route with all its risks to no
canal at all.
The Democratic senator's honestly
in favor of an isthmian canal accept
ed this view Of the situation when
they voted for the Spooner bill. They
have not changed their views and are
now objecting, not to a canal on q
particular route, but to the means
used to secure control of the route.
This objection is personal or political
and cannot stand in the court Of final
issue when the question is a canal on
the Panama route or no canal at all.
On this question no one doubts
how the American people would vote.
East and West, North and South,
Democrats and Populists, as we'll as
Republicans, they are in favor Of an
isthmian canal. Mr.. Germans schem-
ing to defeat the ratification of the
canal treaty has developed the
strength of the canal sentiment in
the Democratic party. There Is no
opposition to the ratification In the
Republican party.
Why. then, treat the question as a
party issue? Why not act upon 1t in
its real character, as an American
question, and put aside Mr.. Germans
theory that any question, no matter
how vital to American progress, may
be used as a football In the game Of
politics.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Useful Pin Cushion.

The convenience Of pin cushion
which can be hung at the side of a
mirror or in some similar position Is
selfevident. A novel and useful one
can be mare from a large-size dolls
parasol. To get the best results one
of some bright-colored silk should be
used. It must be closed and the COW
err tackled to the stick at each rib;
then each of the sections becomes
separated from every other and can
be fitted at the top and stuffed either
with bran or wool wadding picked into
bits. When the cushions are slipped
into place they can be tackled firmly
into position and the parasol further
ornamented with bows Of ribbon tied
on wherever fancy indicates. To
make the best foundation the parasol
should have a hooked handle by which
1t can be hung, but should such not be
obtainable a ribbon loop can be at
tached to handle Of any sort.

Comfort and Economy.

1t is in the construction of dainty

show her individual taste and talent.

be utilized. A length of pretty silk or

dainty collar taken from an old

pattern for the flannel dressing gown,
and very little trimming is required
on this beyond a piece Of uainty EN-.

edge the wide sleeves.

Farmers and Exports.

Some Of the Democratic orators
would be pleased to make 1t out that
the falling off Of the exports, which
was shown by the last reports, was
caused by the present tariff laws, and
that the decrease Of the exports work.
ed injury to the farmers. Some have
gone so far as to say that the Dingley
law is responsible for the falling of OF
the exports Of farm products. It SO
happens that most OF the products
which have shown a decrease In ex
port are on the free list. There has
been no decrease In the production OF
farm products. No one has been com.
planning because his corn crop, or his
wheat crop has been failure. Prices
also are good. II the exports have
fallen OF II means that instead OF
selling in a foreign market the farm.
ers are selling at home. Everyone is
employed and is a consumer Home
people are consuming home products.
The farmer is feeding his neighbors In
American commercial centers. But
the farmers would not have had q
chance to do this we're 1t not for the
fact that the present tariff schedules
make It possible for the factories to
work night and day to make goods for
the home and foreign markets. The
farmers prosperity is intimately link
ed with the prosperity of all the other
classes OF the country. Is the farmer
satisfied? It is not likely that one
who stops to consider will vote for a
change.-Dayenpor Times.
