flowers and foliage. Similar In idea
are the dainty little hand tucked
blouses Of white crepe, with trans
parent lace collar and cuffs and q
bunch Of violets in their natural col
ors embroidered on the front where 1t
shows effectively when the coat falls
open. Nine out of ten Of these blous-
es fasten in the back, thing de-
manded by the intricate trimming OF
the front, but there are models but
toning down the front with tiny pearl
buttons on a plain band between lines
of open work stitchery, embroidery or
lace insertion. The very fine sprig or
garland hand embroideries appear In
the earliest French models; but there
are, too, some Of the bold, raised en-
broideries on sheer stuffs, and these
heavy embroideries appear again up
on the linen blouses.

CAESAR AND His WIFE-There are
panions, like to have 1t supposed that
they are just a little tyrannical at
home. One such man, who had two
or three friends at his house one even
ing, remarked, as they were chatting
together comfortably at a rather late
hour:
"Yes, ! do what like at home. My
wife, she has to bend to my will, can
tell you. In my house I'm a regular
Julius Caesar!"
His wife came into the room In time
to hear the last sentence. The ty-
rant Of his household looked a little
uneasy. but his wife neither frowned,
nor apparently paid any attention to
the remark. But after a moment she
remarked very positively:
Gentlemen. 1t is late, and Julius
Caesar has got to go to bed!"
whereupon the husband arose. stam-
mered his excuses and retired, leav-
ing his guests to find their way out
as best they could.
1t was in another household that the
husband once remarked to his wife:
"You know, my dear, that I am the
head Of the housei"
you may be the head as much as
you like" said the wife, but I'm the
neck"
1.-The neck? o yes. you may be the
neck II you want to. my dear"
VERY we'll. It's the neck that turns
the head whichever way it pleases,
isn't it?"
fT One day a beautiful girl looked
out of her window. and saw her rude
brother on the pavement, walking
about with his feet in the air. "Tom,"
she said. reprovingly. don't Tom. I
wouldn't do that, Tom-indeed I
wouldn't" You Wouldn't" replied
the rude boy looking up and speaking
vjth marked and malicious emphasis,
-"You wouldn't? BY Jocks, you could

Not So Funny.

In a Pullman car on an English
railway recently, says an exchange,
waggish young man. noticing an ell
derby gentleman trying to put on
light dust coat, went to his assistance.
While thus engaged. the young man
observed a good-sized whisky flask
protruding from one Of the old gen.
tleman's pockets, and thought it
good opportunity for joke. Having
helped the stranger on with his coat,
therefore, he pulled out the flask AMI
said:
"Will you take q drink"
The old man did not recognize the
bottle, and drawing himself up, re-
marked rather severely:
mo, sir; l never drink"
1T won't hurt you," insisted the
wag, "it's the best"
young man." said the old gentle
man, speaking loud enough for all the
carriage to hear, "if you persist in
drinking whisky you will be ruined
man at 40. It is the curse Of the land.
When was a boy my mother died,
and the last thing she did was to call
me to her bedside, and say, John,
promise me that you will never touch
a drop Of liquor"
"Oh. well. in that case" said the
joker, 'T must drink, 1t myself" where
upon. suiting the action to the words,
he pulled out the cork and took
good drink. A moment after he drop
ped the bottle with an exclamation
which certainly didn't sound like a
blessing, and yelled, ugh, ugh! Ny
mouths all raw!"
Then it was that the old gentleman
discovered his loss, and to the amuse-
ment Of the other passengers said:
"Ah. young man, you will be
careful before you take another mans
property again. I am Doctor T,
and that bottle contained some qui-
nine and iron for one of my patients"
The young man got out at the next
station.

STRENGTHENING THINGs.-Patrick Ma
ginis went to confession, and among
many other sins. confessed to the good
father that he had stolen Mrs. Mulca-
hy's pig, the loss of which had been
a great blow to the poor woman. The
priest looked at Pat very severely and
said:
stole Mrs. Mulcahy's pig. did We?
That's very bad, Patrick-very bad.
Don't you know, Pat, that to steal a
pig is a heinous sin, and to steal Mrs,
Mulcahy's pig is worse? What will
ye say in the day Of judgment when
Mrs. Mulcahy confronts ye before the
Lord an charges ye with stealin' her
pig-what'I ye say?"
Pat looked rather glum at this on
s!aught. but at this point he picked
up and said:
Sure, yer riverince, Mrs. Mulcahy
won't be there"
"Indade: an why not, Pat Maginis
Mrs. Mulcahy will be there and the
pigll be there, an when yer asked
why We stole the widdy's pig, whatll
ye say. I'm wantin' to know"
will Mrs. Mulcahy be there?" ask
ed Pat, a great idea Illuminating his
face.
she will" said the good father Sc
verely.
And will the pig be there?"
Certainly"
"Then begorra," said Pat, "Pll say
Mrs. Mulcahy, there's your pig.

NUMBERING THE PEOPLE.
Dark Predictions by Foes Of an Eng
iish Census Bill.


iish Census Bill.
It was in 1853 that a proposal to
count the people was first mace.
Thomas Potter, son Of the archbishop
of Canterbury and member Of st.
Germans, introduced in that year
bill "for taking and registering an an
nual account of the total number OF
the people and Of the total number OF
marriages, births and deaths. and also
of the total number of poor receiving
aims from every parish and extra
parochial place in Great Britain" It
was inevitable, Of course, that direct
ly this proposal was made the preced-
ent Of King David should be quoted.
And many were the jeremiads as 10
the inevitable evils which would be-
fall the country. Those submitted to
David were mild in comparison. Mr..
Thornton, member for York city, said:
"I did not believe that there was
any set of men. or indeed, any indi-
vidual of the human species so pre-
SumptuOuS anu 50 dDdiluoHcu % W
make the proposal we have just
heard. hold this subject to be
totally subversive Of the last remains
of English liberty. The new bill
will direct the imposition Of new tax
es, and, indeed, the addition Of a very
few words will make 1t the most ef-
fectual engine of rapacity and oppres-
sion that was ever used against
an injured people. Moreover, an
annual register of our people will ac-
quaint our enemies abroad with our
weakness"
Matthew Ridley, another opposing
member, added that his constituents
looked on the proposal as ominous
and feared lest some public misfortune
or an epidemical distemper should fol-
low the numbering" However, the
bill passed the commons, only to be
promptly rejected by the lords. Not
until 1900 was the proposal again
made, and on this occasion 1t was
brought to a successful issue. The
first census of England and Wales was
taken in March, S01.-Fortnightly
Review.

"You can have 'em arrested. and then

A Barefooted Wedding.

It Is not far from Washington to the
mountains where people live In the
most primitive style. ]. c. Moffatt,
the well-known correspondent, went
into Mcdowell county, w. Va. on a
professional trip, and among the sto-
ries he did not write, but preserved
for private friends. Is one too good to
keep out of print, says the Washing
ton Star.
He stopped at log cabin, and was
soon on good terms with his host, who
after supper said:
Stranger, I reckon ye' won't hev a
good time tonight"
What is up?" queried the newspa-
per man.
"Goin' ter be weddin'. Reckon yo'
kin go with me an the ole woman"
The invitation was accepted, and the
three started for a five-mile walk over
the mountain. When they reached
the cabin that was the centre Of fes-
tivities, cracked fiddle could be heard,
and several men hung around the
doors and windows. for none but the
dancers could be admitted inside.
They were met by rough noun
taineer, to whom the newspaper mans
presence was explained.
That's all right" said the new
conner, but there's one thing. Yo' see
the bride and groom air po', very po',
and they never wore no shoes before
Christmas in thar lives, an hain't got
none now. so them as had shoes didn't
wear 'em. Jim. the groom, is sorter
sensitive like. an high-strung, so eff yo'
go with them shoes on he might take
1t as a reflection on him an the bride
and go to shootin'."
The shoes were taken off, and ten
minutes later the correspondent and
his host were dancing with the noun
tain bellies, occasionally having to
stop to pick splinters out Of their feet.

Leaving II to the Postman.

Some queer things are done by
thoughtless persons who try by de-
scriptions to supply the lack Of a de-
finite address for their letters.
One such letter was directed: ITO
my sister Jean, up the Canongate,
down a close, Edinburgh. She has
wooden leg" Jean safely received her
brothers communication.
Another queer letter provided no
difficulty at all for the postman. 1t
was superscribed, This is for the
young girl that wears spectacles, who
minds two babies, 80 Sheriff street,
off Prince Edward street. Liverpool"
Another was addressed, This Is for
her that makes dresses for ladies that
live at tother side Of rode to James
Brocklip, Edensover, Chesterfield"
This, too, was delivered.
The following specimen. however,
proved too much for the mail carrier.
1t could not be delivered: E. r.. a
cook as lived tempery with a Mrs.
L., or some such name, shoemaker
in Castle street about No. 20 Hobern,
in 1851"
she is a Welsh person, about five
feet and stoutish. lives in service

letter that recently passed through
the general postoffice. To pick that
short and stcutish Welsh person out
of some 100000 people was a task
at which the officials threw up their
hands. The missive had to go to the
dead letter office-London Weekly.

viii Take Eight Hour Law to
Supreme Court.

The labor unions of Nevada are
preparing to defend the eight hour
law in the Supreme Court OF the
United States, where 1t has been ap-
pealed by Attorney ALI Chartz, who
represents the milling interests of the
State. A fluid of $1,000 has been
raised by the milling interests to fight
the law and for this sum Attorney All
Chartz is carrying the case to the
highest tribunal.
The law has three times been de-
clared constitutional by the supreme
court of Nevada but Attorney Chartz
has discovered some clause in the
case in which to appeal it to the I'M
tied States supreme court.
At two elections the people of the
state by an overwhelming vote de.
cided that the law should be in force
but the milling interests are deter.
mined to defeat it if possible.

Fast Through Mail Train.

After January LIST, 1906, the Harri-
man lines will have inaugurated n
fast through mail train from Chicago
TO the coast over the Chicago 4
Northwestern, Union and Southern
Pacific roads. The new train, as at
present intended, will be a continue
ton OF Union Pacific No. 8, which
reaches Ogden at 3 p. IN. 1t will be
made up OF five regular mail cars,
with a working force OF four men in
each car, and in addition, will carry
two sealed cars, containing through
mail to the coast, as well as trans-Pa-
cific mail. The point is to relieve the
passenger trains of the heavy mail
shipments, which are now b%urdening
them.
One OF the principal features which
Is now being discussed is that Of time,
1t is desired to cut down the schedule
between Chicago and San Francisco
by ten hours.
