Surplice Waist.

There is no simple waist thatkglves a
more satisfactory result than this one
made in surplice style. 1t allows OF
wearing a chemisette of embroidery,
tucked muslin or anything that may
be liked, which being separate, can
easily be renewed and consequently is
exceedingly dainty in effect as we'll as
in the height Of style. In the illustra-
ton it is mace of white butchers lin
en- with banding Of embroidery, the
chemisette being of embroidered all
over, but it can be made available for
almost all wasting Of the warm wealth
er and also will be found most ex-
cellent design for the light weight fan
nels, albatross and the like which are
sure to be in demand In cooler
days. When these latter materials
are used the clemisette would pref

erably be of muslin either tucked or
embroidered, although tucked and
plain tatfeta are used while banding
can be almost anything that may he
liked, but nothing gives q prettier ef-
feet than the material with some SIM
pie embroidery executed by hand.
The waist is made with fronts and
back, the latter being plain while the
fronts are tucked at the shoulders.
The right side laps over the left and
the closing is made inyisibly beneath
its edge while the separate chemlsette
is closed at the back. The sleeves are
the fayorite ones that are full at the
shoulders and are gathered into
straight cuffs.

A Reason For the Decrease.

The editor of an English liquor trade
organ, said in a recent interview, that,
in the opinion of the trade, the great
decrease in the consumption of liquor
in England was due first to economic
conditions, and secondly, to the change
in the public taste, saying: During
the last three years the enormous eX-
penditures OF the South African War
has pressed hardly upon the public
When they are short Of money. Wine IS
the first thing in which they will econ
onlize. Then, as regards the public
taste, it is well-known fact that men
will not sit long after dinner, as they
used to do, and drink their bottle OF
port Or claret. The moment dinner IS
finished they begin smoking, the only
form of liquid refreshment they III
dulge in afterward being in most cases
q glass of whisky and soda"

everything fashionable is pliable in the
extreme and can be crushed into the
smallest possible space, it has been
more than usually in demand and eN-
ceptiOnally attractive. Illustrated IS
one Of the best of all models that IS
eminently simple yet which gives the
best possible lines. In the case or the
original the material is pale blue ra-
dium silk, but the list Of available
silks alone is long one, while the
chiffon voiles, mousseline. chiffon and
the like are all much to be desired, as
also are embroidered and lace nets.
In this instance the waist is worn with
q skirt that also is shirred at its upper
edge, the two being joined together
and giving q girdle effect, but the COM
bination is not obligatory, as the waist
can be used either with this skirt or
with;any other that may be preferred.
The waist is made with smoothly
lifted lining and itself consists Of the
front and backs, which are shirred to
form both the yoke and the girdle, the
CLOSING being made invisiblv at the
back. The neck can be finished with
Ia little frill of lace as illustrated, or
with a regulation stock as may. be
liked and the sleeves also allow a
choice of the elbow or three-quarter
pength.

Progress of Temperance in England.

Brewers are Just now much exercised
in their minds over the great falling
off in their returns. Attempts are Of
course being made to discount any
suggestion that beer is ceasing to be
the national beverage and that wave
of temperance is sweeping over the
land. But We have no hesitation in
saying that temperance reform is win
ming its way in England, and that the
decline Of the brewer is something
more than merely temporary depres-
sion. Considerations of health and
economy appeal more powerfully than
ever they did before to the popular
mind. and are the brewers most for
midable opponents.
It is remarkable sign of the spread
of temperance principles that borough
councils in their representative capac-
ity should be initiating methods OF
temperance reform. Some time ago
the council of Woolwich took action in
this direction, and now that Of Gambler
we'll has unanimously decided to fol-
low suit by issuing placard on phys
ical deterioration and alcoholism,
signed by the Mayor and the public
officer Of health.
This placard points out in an en-
phatic manner the fact that the abuse
of alcoholic stimulants is one Of the
most potent means of physical deterior-
alton. 1t further states that alcoholic
persons are specially liable to tuber-
culosis and all in1ammatory disorders,
and that the lunacy figures show
large and increasing number of admis-
sions Of both sexes due directly to
drink. And it concludes with these
striking words: alcoholism is the
most terrible enemy to personal health,
to personal happiness and to national
osperity.''-Church Eclectic.

A Strange Recipe For Acting.

Perhaps the most striking instance
of voluntary hallucinati0n IS that re-

actor Talma. Langlois states that the
great tragedian told him that whenever
he entered on the stage he was accus-
toned by force of will to make his
brilliant audience disappear, and to
substitute for them a house full Of
skeletons. The emotion which these
ghastly creatures of his own imagina.

fund FOR PROSECUTOR
County Must Provide for
County Attorneys Con-
tinkent Fund

>. The boards of county commissioners
must provide their county attorneys
with contingent funds, according to
an opinion rendered by Attorney Gen
eral Young. The request for an opin-
Ion as to whether 1t was mandatory
on the part Of the county board to set
aside the contingent fund, came from
N. L. Glover Of Window, attorney for
Cottonwood county. In this case the
county board at it's January meeting,
refused to set apart contingent fund
for him on the grounds that it is
purely optional with the board to do
go.
The opinion of the attorney general
follows:
The enactment of This law and the
language used, indicate purpose on
the part of the legislature to give ad-
ditional facilities to the several county
attorneys of the state, for the purpose
of securing a more efficient enforce
ment of the criminal laws. The in
vestigatlon of complaints, and the
preparation of criminal cases for trial
involve delicate and difficult work,
which is often impeded for want of
expense money. Your board of county
commissioners undou btedly regarded
this law as simply directory and re-
