FRENCH DESIGNS.

Faded shades are approved by the Parisian. the pastel-grays, old-rosa, pastel-blue, pale mauve leading in fa- vor. They yoften arc more becoming than the vivid tones. A coral red is'trying to make headway, and has been adopt ed by not a few. ..
 The stout woman will retain the plain gored skirt, fitting closely about the hips, but effort is being made to introduce for the slender woman the skirt that has fullness at the waist line. So far the effort has not met with much success, but it will not be long. we think, ere there will be decided return to gathers that ripple from the belt. Fullness at the bottom, a great deal of it, is seen on all skirts of the day; it takes yards and yards of ma terial now that voluminous petticoats and big sleeves reign.
 The rage for the old-fashioned af- fects things generally; jewelry set in a flat manner is worn by those that can get hold of the truly old; velvet bands with jeweled buckles are worn on the wrists, and the elbow-sleeve of :. the day calls for return of the brace let. Just one bracelet is seen. and it may be of any style, any period. Gar net, jewel beloved of our grandmoth- CTS. is in high esteem; we noticed very beautiful necklace recently of garnet beads having for pendant a cross of garnets. Ransack old boxes and drawers and see if you have not something to bring forth for this old time loan exhibition.

We do not re. member ever before having noticed such a variety of bolero designs Covert coats are lined nowadays. and SO made that glimpses of the lining are displayed. Linen is to be immensely popular and many accessories are made of this material we once never should have dreamed of using. Linen gir' dles abound in show windows, and promise to be feature of summer dress. As rule they are enl- broidered. Waists of handkerchief linen are to be had-if one has enough money.

Miles of Freight Tunnels Built and
 Extensions Projected.
 Far below the surface of Chicago's streets scores of electric locomotives are pulling freight trains that are talk ing thousands of tons of coal into the boiler rooms of skyscrapers without dirt, noise or sign of effort in the street. says a writer in the Scientific Ameri- can. They are removing tons of ashes and caring for the excavations from the basements of buildings in course of construction. More than this, they are hauling daily many thousands of tons of freight which was formerly carried over the pavements in wagons. On Feb 15. 1905, the company entered into a contract with the government under which all of Chicago's second third and fourth class mail matter will be transferred from the railway sta tions to the new postotfice through the tunnels.
 A further plan to utilize the tunne i for mail purposes involves the building of chutes connecting the street cornel mail boxes with boxes in the tunnel where the mail can be collected by cars. When the new schemes are per fected and added to the present pneu matic tube service for first class mai Chicago will have the most perfect un derground mail facilities in the world Eight hundred and eighty tons of mai will be handled in the tunnels daily il special locked United States cars. Th' system will be in operation by June l.
 Without noise, dirt smoke or thu slightest delay to traffic the centra business district of Chicago has beel honeycombed with these tunnels Twenty eight miles already have beei constructed, and extensions are pro | jected.

GROWTH OF FEDERALISM.
Almost . National Hobby, Says Hen.
 " Litchfeld West.

Almost Q National Hobby, Says Hen.
 " Litchfeld West.
 One naturally wonders where the line is to be drawn in the matter of federal control. AS it is now, we have governmental supervision of every thing, from butter to railroads, sayS Henry Litchfeld West in the April June Forum. The federal authority is everywhere paramount, and federal ism, against which our forefathers fought most strenuously, is now al- most national hobby. Suggestions of government control which few year ago would have been received with undisguised astonishment are not only accepted, but are invited un- der the plea that the individual citizen needs national protection.
 The tremendous stride toward com plete federalism and the almost total obliteration of the old state rights doctrine are, in fact, the most signii- cant features of American politics to- day. The supreme court ever since the time of Chief Justice Marshall has been an exponent of federal doctrines. but this court is today almost con servatiye beside legislation which is enacted by or seriously proposed in congress. It is not difficult, of course, to analyze the reasons for this decided trend of modern. political thought In the early days of our history inter- state commerce was thing unknown, and the founders of the republic. even in their widest dreams. could hardly I have foreseen a condition of railroad development which practically disre- gards the existence of state lines. They certainly did not anticipate the existence of great and powerful cor porations which would control the pro duction and manufacture of the neces- saries of life, such as beef, oil and sugar-corporations with which states are poweriess to cope, as has been demonstrated in the recent contest of the Kansas legislature with the Stand ard oil company. Federal authority is alone competent to control these l uoiuk dh ihuCASSnsS S~&A- merce business, and every appeal to this authority only widens the sphere of federal domination. It is difficult to see how under present conditions federalism is to be checked, and yet its growth is producing radical changes in our system of government. Where will 1t end? Ii will not be long befors federal laws will embrace every factoz which enters into our commercial fabric. Even social questions are Ike. ly to be subject to federal control fos marriage and divorce laws designed te supersede state legislation are demand. ed of every congress.
 The problems which confront th> American people today are most com plex. Perhaps federalism in its most extreme application Is to be the soiu tion of these problems. This Is appar' ently the meaning of the present trend of public thought From federalism which means governmental rather than state control. it would seem but shor' step to absolute paternalism and so cialism. Certainly the developments ol the next decade will he observed with interest by every thoughtful student oi our government.

d ucW WlIu dUdh- don. We usually modify the French designs to suit our own ideals of dress.
 The designs here shown are not ex- treme, but are distinctively Parisian. The tailor gown is of reseda cloth, and trimmed with stitchings of dark CT green. The vest of the soft pale green silk fastens with small steel buttons; the collars and cuffs are of black taffeta, and this touch of black, giving character to the costume, is ] French touch. The black has the long plaited amazone basque, and bretelles of stitched cloth extend over the shoul- der and taper to the waist. Fol summer wear, vests, collar and cuffs may be one of the coarse embroidered linens which are to be used great deal the coming season for this pur' pose.
 The dressier toilet is soft cloth of pastel gray. The full corsage is oi gray taffeta. the high corselet of the cloth trimmed with gray silk "galon. The galon trims the front panel o1 the skirt, and borders the band oi taffeta near the bottom of the skirt.
 Note the hats worn with these COS tunes; the soft slouching one witt the tailor suit whose trimming is soft draped ribbon about the band with, at one side we'll toward the front a great rose made of ribbon. The other hat is the much dented sort worn low and trimmed at the back with fluffy tips.
 Ribbon is now having great vogue and the trimming employed on the hat with the tailor suit is prime favorite the single large rose made of shaded ribbon. Shaded ribbons. as well a: shaded silk gowns, are to be affected by well-dressed women this year.
 Mark we'll the sleeves of the after noon toilet; the fashionable puffet elbow sleeve, the undersleeve of white sheer material, gathered at the hand into a pretty frill and bound there with a band of velvet the shade o1 the trimming.

Progeny of One Pound of Potatoes


 Campbell Russell, the big cattleman from Hereford, Mo, recently finished planting twenty-five acres of potatoes and says if they do as we'll as his small garden patch has done in recent years he will have potatoes for the en- tire Creek nation next year, says the Kansas City Journal. Mir. Russell says: "Ten years ago I received through the United States mail one pound of seed potatoes and haven't bought potato since. Year by year l planted one acre in potatoes for my home use and the following spring would have wagon loads of them for sale. Last year I planted my reglla ton acre and gathered in 3s0 bushels of potatoes. After using them all win ter I sold wtat remained at net profit of s2O0. So you see one acre farm is not so had and especially when I rais ed twenty crops in ten years.

Fish in Germany.

In many districts of Germany, where sea fish is still a luxury com paratively seldom seen, the coarse fish of inland waters are an important arti- cle of food. In north Germany carp with sauce of white wine or beer is popular and highly esteemed as a dish. It has been estimated that in Berlin alone 5000 tons of carp were sold last December for the Christmas day din ner.

no trouble in securing all the pupils

a young man and especially for that
young man who has neither time nor
money to secure d college or univer-

profession there is nothing in pros

Such a school as this opens a field
