1t is difficult for an American TO un-
derstand that freedom as we know it
does not exist IN Russia There the
legal position of woman is far from
satisfactory. but is always under the
tutelage of some one.
As q daughter the Russian woman Is
under the entire control of her parents.
Her coming of age does not alter her
position. She simply changes the au-
thority Of her parents for the no less
rigid authority OF her husband. AS the
Russian statute puts 1t. zone person
can not be reasonably expected to fully
satisfy two such unlimited powers as
that of husband and parent"
The unlimited power of the parent
Is withdrawn and that of the husband
substituted She can not leave her
lord even TO visit a neiChboring town
without pass" from him. He names
the time she is permitted to stay. and
at the end Of that time she Is bound
TO return 10 get the pass renewed.
a husband may appear in court Of
law as witness against his wife, but
his wife is not allowed to appear
against her husband. A woman's evil
dence in Russia is always regarded as
Of less weight than that of n man.

1t is strange how slow men are to
recognize that in all matters of practi-
cal hygiene the women are necessary.
We shall never have clean cities until
they undertake the job, nor shall we
know how to be good national house
keepers until the private housekeepers
of the nation extend their hereditary
function to public needs and duties.
Every time the women are given
chance to clean up dirty city, carry
on a crusade against public disgraces
and immOralitles, they are successful
and there is at once Il new order of
things. In one State the men, the eat
ers of meat and makers of law, legally
allowed the butchers to carry on their
work in such Il diseased and disgusting
manner that the health and morals of
the whole people We're affected. One
woman alone reformed and cleaned up
the whole abuse and made the slaugh-
ter houses OF the State models of n.y.
genic order and decency. Here is al
other instance. In q Michigan city,
Kalamazoo, the women grew tired of
filthy streets and disregard of law and
they got permission to clean one street
for while, on the same conditions as
the contractor had not cleaned it. They
did the work, forced slumbering or
dlnances to wake up, demonstrated to
the city that cleanliness is as easy and
as cheap as fllthiness, and now the
men and politicians of Kalamazoo say
they have learned their lesson and that
they will carry out the reform in all
streets OF the city. The movement was
instituted by Mrs. Caroline Bartlett
Crane. who also did such marvellous
work in the Michigan slaughter houses.

while the waist is of white Persian
lawn trimmed with embroidery, but
there are, of course. countless mater
ials which are appropriate for the skirt
while the blouse can be of slightly
heavier lawn if preferred. Again, the
model Is an excellent one for the dress
of one material, and will be found
charming for the school days OF early
fall if made from challle or some SINH
lar light weight wool. e.
The dress is made with the blouse
and skirt, which are quite separate.
The blouse includes the tucked front
and the full sleeves and the fitted body
Inning, which can be used or omitted
as material renders desirable. 1t is
closed invlsibly at the centre back.
There is belt at the waist line and
another attached to the skirt, so that
the two can be buttoned firmly to-
gether The skirt is five gored, and Is
laid in backward turning pleats which
give a box pleated effect at the centre
front.
The quantity of material required for
girl of ten Is, for waist two and
three-quarter yards twenty-seyen, two
and half yards thirty-two or one and
five-eighth yards forty-four inches
wide; for the skirt three and three
quarter yards twenty-seven, two and
five-eighth yards thirty-two or two
yards forty-four inches wide.

We never quite desert the princess
style.
For woman with a fine figure in
deed there's no dress so altogether
smart and becoming as the princess.
SO true is this that at intervals this
mode is revived for street wear. u.s.
ually in the shape of a princess skirt
and some sort of abbreviated Jacket. 1t
goes without saying, however. that the
princess style is at its best for house
wear, and especially for evening
Many of the most superb evening
dresses are In this mode and though
white Is the choice as a rule n number
OF lovely colors are seen in superb eff
fects and the material appears to
greatest advantage, there being one
long, tremendous sweep from shoulders
TO trail end upon which the lights play
in delightful fashion.
Oriental crepe, heavy. mellow and
satiny, is chosen fabric. II is bound
to be magnificent.
Just now pailettes on fine net are
much in evidence. The great thing Is
to have these sparklers very tiny, and
in no wise suggestive of big, circussy
spangles.
A charming example is in pale blue,
with a starry, all-Over effect in silver
spangles. The net over-dress appears
to be almost loose. and it is caught into

suppose 1t to be hanging loose and nat

On Feeding the Children.

Do not forget that the baby outgrows
his food just as he does his clothes, and
that timely additions to his dietary are
a valuable means Of preventing scurvy,
rachitis, darrheol disturbances and
other diseases of dletetic origin.
Many children are peevish and i'll
tempered because they are improperly
nourished. a revision of the diet.
with suitable additions. will satisfy the
child and transform it into happy,
growing youngster. A healthy child
has an instinct for sweets. and this
should be gratlfled in moderation.
Honey Is one of the best of sweets. or
little good butterscotch or sweet
chocolate may be used.
1t is better to overfeed than to under
feed a growing child, says the Medical
Brief. Overlooking is less apt to occur
with a properly selected diet, for the
child will be satisfied with a lesser
bulk of food. 1t is not a good plan to
feed children on thin soups and similar
fluid foods. as they are filled before
the demand for nourishment is sat-
lsfied.
Children often eat too much meat, re-
suting in abnormal stimulation of the
nervous system and imperfect nutrition
of the bony and muscular framework
of the body. Ce'eals, potatoes, whole
wheat bread, milk, eggs, cheese, nuts,
green salads and vegetables furnish
the elements of growth and repair in a
satisfactory form.
When children lose appetite. instead
of pempering them with injudicious
indulgences. try feeding them nothing
but fruit for day or so. when appetite
will quickly reassert itself unless some
disease Is incubating.
Children who are properly fed will
suffer little, as a rule. from toothache,
headache, nerves, broken sleep, etc.
Proper ventilation, daily outdoor exer-
else and regular meal times are all
essential to appetite and good diges-
ton.

Publicity as a Panaoea.

We have in this country an almost
superstitious reverence for publicity,
as though IT were panacea for polit-
lca and social evils. Give the people
the facts. Is our comfortable doctrine,
and conditions will remedy themselves.
But there is as much difference be-
tween diagnosis and cure as applied to
printers ink as TO medicine, and the
time Will come, even II the writer be
wrong in thinking it is now with us,
whom the feeblest of tonlcs will do
us more good than the most drastic
of these modern literary emetics.
1t is curious fact that, when we
speak of publicity and its value, we
have in mind publicity in its narrow
and restricted sense as the searchllght
OF public knowledge thrown upon some
thing which Is wrong. We make it
serve as sort Of social scavenger, as
though that were its great function in
stead of its very least. AS though
that great instrument Of civilization
was being employed at its best task
when engaged in probing, with pry-
lng-hook. our social garbage barrels

The skirt that is smooth over the
hips yet flares abundantly and freely
below the knees is the one that Is the
favorite of the present and that may
be looked for for many months to
come. Illustrated is one of the latest

cores which make it possible to obtain
the full effect after a most desirable
fashion. while its many lines give
tall and slender effect to the figure.

Died of Improvements.

The following is told of a patient,
German woman. who, taken seriously
III, was sent to the hospital.
In the evening her husband inquired
how she was getting along, and was
told that she was improving.
Next day he called again, and was
told she was still improving.
This went on for some time, each
day the report being that his wife was
improving.
Finally, one night when he called he
was told that his wife was dead. See
ing the doctor, he went up to him and
said, "Yell, doctor, vat did she die Of
lmproyements?"- Harper'S Y, eekly.

It's strain on the hair to be curled
and colifed in devious ways all winter,
and many fashionable young women
are giving their locks rest just now
by dressing them very simply minus
the Marcel wave and various other
additions to beauty. One girl discov-
cred that she was running her haii by
too frequent treatments and curlings,
and the result is that among her
friends visits TO the hairdresser have
grown less frequent, for whatever else
the summer girl can afford to lose. she

hair.--Indlanapolis News.

advanced methods in sugar refining were practiced, and hired out in labor CTS clothes to work as laborer in one of the MagdeboUrg sugar houses
 He playerd that part of the game for just six weeks. Then. having learned all he wanted to know. he threw up his job, put off his laborer's clothes and bought the most complete outfit of up to- late sugar machienry he could buy. Back to California then for him, where, in 1868 he put up refinery in no way inferior to those on the Atlantic coast.
 Being himself a practical reliner aftec his experience in Magdeburg, he in troduced Improvements that shortened the time of getting a run of sugar through the refinery from three weeks to twentyfour hours. He also in> troduced the modern cube and crushed sugars into America. which were sold on the Pacific coast long before they were offered Ito Eastern consumers.
 Then he turned his attention to cane, not yet being ready to initiate the Ger mans by making sugar from beets,
 Hitherto he had got most of his raw sugar from the Philippines. now he pro- posed to buy from Hawaii. Inspection of these islands convinced him that, though the cane planters already es- tablished there had secured all the best land. he could grow cane cheaper than he could buy it. He got the ear of Kalakua, then King, and from him secured a grant of 10000 acres on the island of Maui The other planters were tremendously tickled at the whole business, for sugar cane needs plenty of water and his 10000 acres were as dry and arid as If in the heart of d desert.
 spreckels didn't mind that. He knew the possibilities of irrigation, and with half a million dollars of his California profits. proceeded to demonstrate what he knew. He built a canal twenty one miles long. with lot of tunnels and causeways in which he used several shiploads of iron pipes. It wasn't long before Spreckles was doing all the 1anrhing' Under irrigation his crops were both larger and surer than any others in all Hawaii.
 Eventually his plantation was fifteen miles long and covered 10000 acres, one of his ditches reached forty miles He not only raised his own raw sugar, but having difference with the existing line of steamers between Honolulu and san Francisco. he built his own ships and carried his own sugar to California, thus saving another great profit. All this was possible; first, because of the reciprocity treaty between the United States and Hawaii, which went into ef- feet in 1878, and second, because spreckles. through lending a lot of money to the King, practically owned the islands.
 These were Spreckels's happiest days. The King had given him title and had decorated him; he was virtually ruler of Hawaii he built the finest private residence in Honolulu; he was the richest man on the Pacific coast, and

little longer for the Arbuckles to get well into sugar, but both succeeded at length and he resulting competition was hard for both. There were suits and counter suits, enormous competi- tive expenses and the losses grew to frightfu1 proportions. man who ought to know puts the aggregate at $25, 100000.
 Maybe that's too high, but all hands finally agreed that the war had to be called off, and it was. Arbuckle Is still refining sugar, and the trust is still roasting coffee, but a working ar engagement" was long ago patched up which neither would like to see broken. l. John Arbuckle Is unique among multi milionaires. Almost as frugal in his personal expenditures as Russell Sage, he is by no means penurious. In fact Arbuckle is decidedly generous. in wholesome, hearty way, utterly devoid of the self-consciousness that desires either secrecy or exploitation. His ship boarding houses for people of moderate wages in the summer time have cost him some hundreds of thousands and made him famous. His democratic ways with his employees have won from them remarkable loyalty. His morning trips with his delivery wagons have given him an unusual insight into the selling end of his business and added to his popularity among his New York and Brooklyn customers.
 This motto, which is printed on a bit of cardboard, he has given personally to hundreds of persons, affords an in- teresting glimpse of his personality:
 "Politeness is the cheapest commod. ity on Gods earth. It costs nothing and will carry you further and pleas anter through life than any other ticket you can travel on."
 Besides John Arbuckle and J. N. Jar vie. the firm of Arbuckle Brothers now includes w. V. R. Smith and W. G. Gilmore.
 John Arbuckle himself is now well along in years, childless, a model hus- band, a regular attendant at Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, an ingenious, naive specimen of the uncultivatsd, rugged Scotch Irish American whose combina- tion of nltive ability. integrity, indus try and thrift has wrought out in him personality the like of which will hardly be seen again.
