The Surplice Finish,

An embroidery band scalloped on
the edges and with valenciennes frills
under the scallops Of one or both
edges is a good surplice finish, and
the same effect may be introduced up
on the skirt, though often the en-
broidery is used nowhere save on the
fronts, and the trimming Of sleeves
and skirt is left to tucking and valen-
ciennes, as was the case with one of
the frocks sketched here.
Other surplice fronts are finished
with one of the scallop embroidery ap-
pliques, producing somewhat the same
effect as heavy hand embroidery on
the edges of deep scallops of the ma
terial. Similar Swiss embroidery ap-
plique, with the scallops much larger,
is an excellent finish for skirt
dounces, and, as these embroideries
usually come in several widths or
sizes, it is easy to use the one idea in
all the detail of the frock.

Beauty in DraWn-Work,

Drawnwork, Mexican style, makes
beautiful blouses, and one of the pref
tiest ways of using it was employed
on a blouse last winter A small
table cover, with points, deeply work
ed, was chosen; the girl who was
going to wear it passing by the finest
of the blouse patterns and choosing
the table cover in preference.
It was done in heavy linen; so she
chose the finest handkerchief linen
she could find for the foundation of
the blouse, and then twisted and turn
ed and managed the corners and cen
ter of draWn-work until she had the
most unusual thing imaginable. And
she touched it here and there with
French knots-not the tiny ones lin
gerie blouses usually show, but rather
coarse ones, done with a heavy
thread, that somehow reconciled thu
heavy and light linens to each other.
The same thing is done with those
heavy embroideries, combining them
with handkerchief linen and giving
them some odd touch here or there,
that makes the combination full Of
style and variety.

Rebuilding the Campanilea

Slowly but surely the work of re-
storing the campanile of st. Mark S
at Venice is proceeding. A high wood
en- paling hides the scene of opera
tions from outsiders and forms a
workyard. In this space eighty work
men are employed either in preparing
the stone or hewing the timber or car
rying the cement which is needed for
the foundations. A huge, square ped
estal in the middle is all that is left
of the original site and Of the old
campanile and is to serve again for
it's successor. The groundwork of this
pedestal is the part on which the
hands are now engaged and in the
strengthening and consolidating of
this under-pedestal lay the great diff
Guilty of beginning the work of recon
struction. For it was long before any
means could be found whereby to pre-
vent the ground under it from yield.

Humanity.

In tracing up the various faults
To which mankind is heir,
The great, the small, the odds and ends
Scraped up from here and there,
No doubt you'll find some f1inty breast
Their hiding place, but then;
There's still a deal Of heavenliness
Within the worst Of men.
In tracing up the virtues, all,
To which mankind is heir,
The virtues great, the virtues small,
The virtues odd and rare,
Perhaps you'll find them centered In
Some other breast, but then
There's still lot of shellishness
Within the best Of men.
Thus be reluctant to condemn
Nor anxious to condone;

TO measure first your own.

The DEVILS, too, you'll find; =

An Oakland lady who has q taste
for good literature, tells what a happy
time she had on The Road to Well
Vile" She says:
Il drank coffee freely for eight
years before l began to perceive any
evil effects from it. Then I noticed
that I was becoming very nervous,
and that my stomach was gradually
losing the power to properly assimi-
late my food. In time l got so weak

for no reason whatever but because of
the miserable condition of my nerves
and stomach: attributed the trouble

me in worse condition than at first.

ed-not 30 years old and feeling that
life was a failure!
II had given up all hope of ever
enjoying myself like other people, till
one day I read the little book The
Road to Wellville." It opened my
eyes. and taught me lesson shall
never forget and cannot value too
highly. Immediately quit the use
Of the old kind OF coffee and began to
drink Postum Food Coffee. I noticed
the beginning of an improvement in
the whole tone Of my system, after
only two days use of the new drink.
and in very short time realized that
I could 60 about like other people
without the least return Of the ner-
vous dread that formerly gave me so
much trouble. In fact my nervous
ness disappeared entirely and has
never returned. although it is now a
year that have been drinking Postum
Food Coffee. And my stomach is now
like iron-nothing can upset It!
Last week, during the big Con-
clave in San Francisco, was on the
60 day and night without the slight
est fatigue; and as stood in the i'm
mense crowd watching the great par

Chickamauga Park Ga, May 81
The United States government has here
In operation one of the largest acety.
lene gas plants In the world. The mill
tary post at the entrance of the histor.
fcal Chickamauga battlefield where
thirty thousand Union and Confederate
soldiers were lost in the memorable
battle Of Sept. 10 and 20, 1863, contains
about one hundred buildings, the
seventy-ive principal ones of which are
lighted with acetylene. To accom-
plish this six and one-haH miles of
mains and two miles of service pipes
are in use, while sixty-fve street
lamps brilliantly illuminate the ave-
nues Of the post.
In 1903 the War Department in
stalled a test acetylene plant at Fort
Meyer, Virginia. The results were
so gratifying and the superiority
of the illuminant so evident that tho
government. March 20. 1904, placed
the contract for the Chickamauga
plant, in which every citizen of tho
United States should have his pro
rata OF pride.
But the government has not con-
fined its acceptance of acetylene to
this military post. Since becoming
satisfied of the efficiency, superiority
and economical advantages of this
particular illuminant. the United
States has installed a number of
plants In Indian schools and other gov-
ernment institutions.

It Is matter for national congratu-

tenn, has been deemed good enough

have displaced all others; and assur-

The crepe pointille, too, is another

satin ground entirely covered or

When the Garneld report s. s. 81 thS

rouulndly n denounced. After ii three
months Of publicity it's significant
that those who attempted to discredit
1t have failed to controvert the figures
contained in that exhaustive docu!
metnt. t The public is beginning to mo-
tice this omission, and the feeling is
rapidly growing, that the sensational
charges out of which the "Beef In
vestigation'' arose were without foun-
datIoa. If the official statements OF
the report are susceptible Of contra
dlctlon, a good many people are now
asking why the facts and figures are
not furnished to contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most OF
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
tlonal assertions. A fragrant example
OF this appeared in a recent article in
an Eastern magazine, to the effect
that ''forty Iowa banks were forced
to close their doors in 1904 by the
Beef Trusts manipulation OF cattle
prices" Chief Clerk Cox, Of the bank
ing department of the Iowa State ALL

banks given in the magazine article
and has publicly denounced the state
ment as utterly untrue. He gives
separately the reasons for each fall

that they have been caused by unwise
speculations and by reckless banking
methods. 1t may be well to suspend
judgment upon the packers until the
