Proposed Route to the Pole.
lack novelty and it is reported that
Gen. Greely, who has been in the arc
tics himself on memorable expedi-
tfon, has declared the scheme is well
founded. Certainly, he admitted the
correctness of the judgment of the
French explorer in deciding to make
trial trip, as it were,. in the Yukon
district the coming winter, where the
stage is set very like the setting in
the neighborhood of the pole and the.
experiments will be within reach az
civilization
The real start, as reported, is to be
made In June next year, so that Com
mander Peary need not fear keen COM
petition as he nears his goal. for he
will have had almost a years start
1t is the contention of the new north
pole seekers that the expeditions of
all former polar explorers or pole
seekers have been conducted on any
thing but lines that would be approved
by the northern travellers of expert
ence. Yukoners found many weak
points In the methods of travel, equip
ment and composition of nearly every
polar expedition of the past
One contention which they think is
. serious defect is that nearly every
expedition sent to the arctic thus far
has been composed of sailors, men
who are useless on land or anywhere
but aboard ship.
1t is the object and plan of DR. Var
icle to draw the great contrast right
here. He will have none but the most
experienced northern mushers and
travellers and none but most expert
enced and best trained heavy Yukon
dogs.
The question of fuel and suficicnt
supplies to carry the expedition across
the ice is the stickler. Varicle pro-
posed to overcome this with an auxil-
iary expedition of mules. He can make
the mules last 130 days or more by
killing mule every few days for
food. The carcass of each mule killed
will be converted into dog food Var
icle plans to take. thirty mules and
thus to supply no end of dog food
The food hauled. by one mule will be
fed to all the mules until the supply
on the one sleigh is exhausted. Then
the first mule will be killed and his
carcass given to the dogs. The second
mule will suffer likewise, and SO on

the dahlia fades with the first nip OF

Nevertheless more Americans OF
wealth are growing dahlias every year.
Theodore Havemeyer, who began
some time ago to devote his time and
money to these flowers, has produced
beautiful blooms in his gardens at
Hampstead. Mrs. G. S. Hubbard at
her country home, Twin Oaks, near
Washington, wins prizes with the
wonderful exhibits that her gardener
sends to the autumn flower shows, and
Charles Stewart Smith has been one
of the most successful exhibitors this
fail, sending beautiful specimens from
his Stamford home. Among amateur
growers none is more successful than
e. d. Adams, whose home is at Sea-
bright.
The types represented in the pic
lures are of the show dahlia which is
the term used to describe all the self
colored and shaded dahlias, and the
pompon, which are the usual varieties
of the flower, although professional
growers recognize others. Fashions
change in the dahlias just as they do
in other flowers and it was the cactus
dahlia that interested growers after
the cult of the flower became fad.
There has been a noticeable ten
dency this year to return to the older
form of the flower as the favorite, al
though it is with the cactus dah1ia
that the novelties are possible The
cactus dahlia has been known to
growers much longer than amateurs
suppose.
These dahlias were grown in Eng
land as early as 1880 and had been
sent from Mexico to Holland eight
years before. The roots were named
in honor of President Juarez of Mex
leo, and these early plants were called
after him 1t was from this Mexican
root that all the fancy dahlias grown
to-day were developed.
The pompom dahlia, which is the
kind most ordinarily seen in gardens.
came first from Germany, where a
Baden florist succeeded in getting a
double type. from the ordinary red

New Short Goats.

The new short coats have arrived.
They are queer and will not be becom-
ing to the majority. Truly, they look
like impertinent street sparrows. They
do not attempt to fit the figure under
the arms, and the waistline is about
four inches above the waist. From this
point they curve out at the back, and
the slash up the center makes the two
sides stand out and almost cross at
the hem exactly like a sparrow's tall
Whether or not this original shape
will be worn is in the hands of the
women. One thing is true-the short
coat is the thing of the moment for af-
ternoon frocks.

CHINA = PARADISE FOR ACTORS.

China is the actors paradise. There
are thousands of actors in the empire

A native actor will earn, if he is a
frst-rate man, as high AZ 81 800 .
year, and while this money is insignifi-
cant compared to our princely pay
lists, it will procure comforts and lux
uries to a native in China that could
not be duplicated here for fifty times
the amount. There is a national act
ors' club with 10000 life members,
and there is special god in the tenn
pies to whom all good Chinese Thespi-
ans pray. 1t is very difficult to ac-
quire the title of actor in China.
The pupil is obliged to study three
years as super and one more year
is required to give him the finishing
touch. The pupil must learn by heart
repertoire of about fifty different
plays and the rest of his life is spent
in acting these plays without the
slightest change and without ever be-

ideta is that an "actor," as such, must
not condescend to learn, which is At

The long coat which is to be such a
feature of the winter fashion is worn
over the entire gown, made of the one
material, and this makes possible the
velvet waist with the skirt. OF course
the great difficulty and the great OBJ
lection to a velvet waist to match a
skirt is that the material is heavy, but
the newest weaves of velvet are won
derfully light in comparison with those
of few years ago, and when a trans
parent yOke-even a small one-and
collar are added, instead of the high
lined stock collar of a few seasons
past, there is a great difference in the
comfort of the waist. These gowns
will be worn in the street without a
wrap in the early days of the winter,
and the coat worn over them will be
loose enough to be thrown off when
entering a house. In other words. the
gown is distinctive and finished with

The side-tilting of hats, as well as

the eye is getting quite used to them.
Twice as many hatpins are needed,
and such superbly jeweled ones as are
used make lesser ones look extreme

plumes is to end upon the hair in the
back, and is quite definitely accepted.
They should not be worn, however, by
