Grapes so we'll, it is so becoming, it
wears almost like tweed and it is so
easy to make up III a variety of styles
and with all sorts of trimming.
Cut, however, probably counts for
more than material at present, espe-
cially in the lighter weight tweeds and
cloths that are made up tailor-wise in
convenient coat and skirt suits for
travelling and general wear. Lines and
curves right to a hairs breadth account
for the indefinite touch of chic that
may accompany the simplest design.

To Cut Bias RufHes.

As this is the time of year that the
busy women have yards and yards Of
bias ruffles on folds to cut to trim their
summer dresses, and as few can do so
and get them true by measuring them
one by one, I think have a way that
will save both time and patience, says
a Designer correspondent. After de-
Gliding on width cut pieces four times
as wide as needed. Now place cut
edges together and fold by hand or
with a hot iron, cut in fold. and you
have two pieces twice as wide as re-
quired. Fold and cut again. and you
have four strips without any bother
but the first measuring.

the answer to the presidents letter
to the emperor OF Japan through the
imperial commissioners was deliy-
cred. This letter was a remarkable
one, In view Of the exclusiyeness
which these people had hitherto main
tained. Il contained the following
passage: But for us to continue big

seems TO misunderstood the spirit Of
the age, and we wish to conform rath-

Contrast this with tie sentiment
expressed in the following inscription

sun shall warm the earth let no Chris
tian be so bold as TO come TO Japan.

bound and Desoured BY Real Lions In
the Arena.
In tall. glass rooted building, just
outside Paris, high up on the top floor.
where the light is good, strange and
interesting spectacle was Witnessed To-
day.
The building belongs to the firm OF
Pathe Brothers, and the door had been
converted into very good imitation
OF an arena where. for the benefit Of
the einematograph operator, 4 Chris
tian captive was TO be torn 10 pieces
to make "a Roman holiday"
In the corner Of the arena an over
turned chariot lay, while the cardboard
horses which which had drawn it beat
the air with their hoofs in an inefec-
tual effort TO recover their equilibrium.
A dead warrior lay near by. and hel-
NETS, swords and ether articles which
had figured in the deadly fray were
scattered over the ground.
On the imperial tribune, Nero, with
silver wreath encireling his brow, sat
among his favorltes. When the opera
tor was ready TO begin, three barehead-
ed and barelegged slaves came on the
scene, rolled away a chariot wheel, and
carried ont the dead Roman. Then
Nero raised his hand. and Immediately
a procession OF slaves and soldiers filed
into the arena.
The slaves were scantily attired and
wore sandals. The soldiers were clad
in chain armor, and were equipped
with shields, leg-guards and helmets.
In the centre walked a noble-looking
white captive" and as the rear guard
passed me noticed a copy Of the Matin
clicking out of one Of the soldiers
pockets. When the procession had
passed once around the arena it drew
up in front Of the imperial tribune. and
the slaves and the noble captives knelt
before Nero, shouting, I'VE who are
about to die salute thee
Then two guards sprang forward,
seized the captive, dragged him, resist
ing, to the stake in the centre of tle
arena, and securely bound him to II.

The captive was released and re-
placed by a dummy figure to which
were attached several pieces Of meat

The end of the pneumonia season is

the two chief American cities pneu-

scored above the record long held by

captain of the men of death" The
agents Of death appear to have been
realigned in such q way as vastly to
increase the effectiveness of pneu-
mcnia without markedly diminishing
the effectiveness Of the former cham
pion, pulmonary tuberculosis. Tuber-
cuIosis is still credited with more
than 10 per cent of the total mortality,
while pneumonia, formerly credited
with 6 per cent, or per cent, now
claims over is per cent Of the total
mortality. The two diseases which
formerly scored together about II per
cent, now score over 2S per cent Of
the total mortality. Other diseases
have steadily grown in Importance
during the same period. notably can
Ger and Bright's disease. Meanwhile
the general death rates have not in

DETAILS OF THE

Yachtsmen are hoping for a 12-day
record sail in the big race for the
Kaisers cup from Sandy Hook light
shin to the Lizard, which commenced
Nav II. There is excellent ground
for such a hope. The Endymion, one
OF the cup entries, has already re9-
ord Of thirteen days srd twenty hours
from Sandy Hook 10 the Needles. and
she was not in racing trim when max.
ing this fast run in 1901. The Lizard
is at the southwestern point Of the
English coast, the Needles are west or
the Isle Of Wight.
But whether the 12-day mark is
reached or nct-and If one may swear
By a crew the rest is a matter Of what
winds may blow-the race will be the
most interesting ever sailed. It is the
first transatlantic event of its kind
since March, 1887, when the Coronet
beat the Dauntless from Bay Ridge
to Queenstown, sailing 2,s49 nautical
miles in fourteen days twenty-three
hours and thirty minutes, and It IS
unioue In the number of its entries.
Eleven yachts are competing. Nom
inally. eight are Americans, two Brit
ish and one German. The German en-
try. the Hamburg, was formerly the.
british rainbow. With something
more than three thousand miles to be
sailed and with the boats varying in
length from the big Valhalla's 23s

Fleur de Lys's Sc, every sort Of ex-
perienee is in store for the men who

In the Henrietta-F Fleeing -Vesta

sighted each other after the start, un-

that the eleven starters in this race
shall lose themselves in like fashion in

Lord Brassey, Of the Sunbeam, took
a 6.500-mile cruise to bring his yacht

Rumor of Severe Losses Suffered by
AGED Einancier

nuihOE ot severe Losses Suffered by
Aged Financier.
In New York city story is current
in Wall street that the real reason
for the retirement of Russell Sage
from active participation in business
is not so much his physical condition
as that he has lost to some extent
the keen judgment in affairs of high
finance which was regarded as almost
infallible, and which had resulted in
the accumulation of one of the largest
fortunes in America.
It is said that of late years Mr.. Sage
has made number of investments
which not only did not turn out profit.
ably, but which entailed heavy losses
Some estimates place his losses
within the last two or three years at
upwards of 100000.
Friends Of the aged financier had
long been urging him to give up busi-
ness and to devote the remaining
years of his life to welI-earned rest
He was deaf to all such suggestions
until a succession Of losses impressed
on him the fact that he had lost. at
least in some measure, the faculty for
grasping the details of great AFFAIRS.
which for a generation or more has
been one Of his marked characteris-
tics.-Boston Post.
