FUR SEALS DOOMED.
GOVERNMENT MAY DECIDE TO
 SLAUGHTER ENTIRE HERD.
Tired of the Uneven Fight Against P the Canadian Teachers Whose
 Expectations Are Be-
 yond Control.

It Is practically certain that before long the United States government will decide to slaughter the entire herd, thus wiping out the species com pletely and finally, so far as the wa ters of the north Pacific are con cerned.
 When we acquired Alaska from Russia we obtained exclusive property rights (so it was understood) over the eastern half of Behring sea, which up to that time had been regarded as a maritime lake belonging to the czar. This half included the Pribylov is- lands-which, by the way. were not discovered until little over cen tury ago, owing mainly to the circum- stances that they are shrouded in al- most perpetual fog. With the islands, of course, went the fur seals; and we might have succeeded in projecting and preserving the latter for an in definite period, if only it had been their habit to spend all of their lives in the near neighborhood of the Priby- lov group.
 Unfortunately, however, the seals merely visit the Pribylov islands in the summer time, for breeding pur- poses, leaving them in November and returning in June. The rest of the year they spend in migratory voy- age to more southern waters, the herd finding its way in the month of Feb ruary to latitude some distance

What blessing the new rucked sleeves are for girls with thin arms! Given the right description of lace, or chiffon, and moderate care in the mat ter of construction, these sleeves can not fail to be becoming to the arms and hands! Yes, very specially the latter, because sleeves which reach we'll over the wrists have happy way of making the hands look wonder. fully small and white.
 Evening gowns, for quiet parties, of black mousseline de soie, look fasci- mating when made in the pinafore style. with the bodice drawn up over a transparent blouse of ivory point d'Esprit. This blouse should be cut little low at the neck, with bebe ribbons run through soft tucker of chiffon, and the sleeves should be finely rucked from shoulder to wrist. A gown of this genre, with waist band of Sevres blue mirror velvet and a touch of blue at the breast, could not fail to look charming, and it would be exactly the rich thing for dinner wear at one of the big hotels or restaurants.
 It is important to realize that tucked sleeves should fit the arms tightly. or practically so; in fact, the pressure of the material on the arms should be sufficiently insistent to keep

the tiny folds in place. In all cases tucked sleeves should be cut ''on the cross" and it Is a good idea to have half a dozen very small hooks and eyes on the under seam near the wrist
 Of the making of frfnges, and Jf the wearing 9f same there is no end: All the new linen frocks are trimmed with fringes. and also with many tas- gels, and superb fringes are posed on evening gowns of crepe de chine. vel vet and taffetas. With these fringes bias folds of material are very much rsed; indeed bias folds are playing an important part in the fashions of the hour. Frequently they are of the same material as the skirt. but some times they are of velvet and of satin fn slightly deeper tone of color. Graduated bands of velvet ribbon run the bias folds very close. as a skirt trimming. but the ribbons belong. al most exclusively. to the world of rrbes dTnterieus. whilst bias folIs gre lzvishly used on dinner gowns.

| on the skirt and horizontally placed | on the flounce, which is either kilted or plainly hemmed or decorated with medallions of black lace. Another good silk petticoat is made in shot silk with double-kilted fiounces cut into Vandykes at the edge, no other trimming being vouchsafed. These, too. are particularly suited to the serge dress. For the 'voile gown I would recommend the glace petticoat. It has hand-embroidered lawn frill put on at the top with beading threaded with ribbon.
 For the economical I commend the petticoat of double-width alpaca in black and white check, with shaped f1ounce trimmed with three graduated rows of black velvet ribbon. It Is nee essary to buy the very best quality al- paca and then I would guarantee its wear for three seasons. The same vir- tue, I regret to say, cannot be ac- credited to any known make of glace silk. nor accorded to any tried bro cade or stripes.
 And, writing the word stripes. am tempted to insist again upon their amazing popularity. Not alone are there striped tweeds and striped cash meres and striped silks, but there are striped voiles and crepe de chimes, these last looking their best in black when the stripe is of satin, and is real. ly a new edition of our old friend the satin-striped grenadine, but exhibiting much improvement from the softer fabric with which it is allied.
 It cannot be truly said that the fashions lean amiably towards the de- sires of the thrifty. whom I would ad. wise to remain faithful to the tailor. made cloth coat and skirt until the summer is quite established, when un- der clever home directions plain voiles may be successfully treated in com. bination with vest and undersleeves of ecru figured net, special trouble be- ing taken to secure the wide armhole of Japanese style, which is, indeed, easy enough to achieve, and is like to enjoy a continued run of popularity. As have previously said. it is not difficult to manipulate, and will con- ceal in Its hanging folds a few of those defects without which the amateur made costume is never quite complete.
 Minor matters which are just now receiving special attention are belts and buckles, the newest of the latter being of filigree gold raised almost in dome shape and decorated in the cen ter with a single large jewel, ame- thyst, or Olivine for choice. The belts are of leather of all colors, soft or shiny of surface. and the elastic belts still intrude in every conceivable color. the newest elastic being Of gold and of gold and silver tnterwoveh. The ] plaid patent leather belt is perhaus more novel than attractive. and to the really slim waist no belt is more be. coming than that contrived from A wide piece of ribbon pinned into the center of the back and drawn tightly through chased silver or gold buckle in the front.

Then and Now.

In the days of old when knights were bold and wore sheetiron shirts and vests, they &attled for the right to hold fair maidens to their manly breasts. They went to war and risked their lives to get the girls they wished to win, and when they'd claimed them as their wives supported them through thick and thin. But in these days when every man appears to think he ought to try to get as wealthy as he can, and love is something he can buy, his wife's partner that he takes in bizness for year or two; then one or else the other breaks the ties and looks for something new.

The statement is made that authoritar tive records prove that in single regiment upward of l50 fighters each bore the Christian name. Patrick. The claim is also set forth that Gen. Warren. of Bunker Hill fame, came q Celtic ancestry.

She's a holy terror-won't you come around and help poor little Isabel to entertain her? It's rather bore any one coming to her for so long, and she is bringing not only maid, but two pugs and parrot. and poor Isabel cannot bear pugs or noise."
 Poor Lord Etchington, his only thought was for his wife's comfort; and I wondered as went away, after promising to come and take the old lady of their hands sometimes, why this sort of woman always gets one of the few unselfish men there are in the world.
 Three days later went round to call. Lady Isabel's husband was having tea with the aunt, most fearsome look. ing old lady, not unlike the parrot whose cage was at her side. He rose to meet me with the utmost relief.

 'No. she says she is very poorly. I have sent for Dr. Parkes: but wish you would go up and see her"
 "Of course will" I said. now at once" As turned to leave the room a metallic voice said:

 She shook her head. "No. dear, 1t wouldn't be any good: you see, she would be sure to offer to come as well. She has already upset the whole house: Minto and her pugs had a fear full fight last night. and the head housemaid came to me In tears this morning and said she couldn't put up with being took to task and Mrs. Green says she can't have that maid in and out of her kitchen all day for two months, and she would rather 20 nov. if it's all the same to mel"

Because of an unaccountable slump
In sales OF shovel machinery, the
Marion Steam Shovel Shops has found
1t necessary within the past few days
% not only discontinue employing
new me-, but is temporarily laying
off about a half-hundred.
Wild rumors to the effect that the
night force would be discharged, and
perhaps half of the day force laid
off, have been a6oat, but the reports
were entirely without foundation.
and although business Is decidedly
quiet at present, the prospects are
bright and the shop officials are of
the opinion that after July /, af-
fairs will adjust themselves To their
normal stage.
Yesterday evening and this morning
forty-fvc men were laid off from the
boiler and machine shops. The en-
ployes in those departments, as well
as the black smith shop had COM
pleted considerable reserve work, and
much in advance If the erecting de-
|partmeat. Consequently, today all of
the machine shops were shut down,
and the men retained were placed on
|erecting work The night force has
been also adjusted, and Superintend.
ent Sweeney today stated that 1t is
probable that it will not be neces-
lsary to further decrease the force.
The shop is now employing about
eleven hundred men, which is about
three hundred less than the maximum
force run during the winter.
