Musquash the Modish.

Musquash is finding great favor
for millinery as well as coats, its
soft natural hue being essentially be-
coming perhaps more so than any
pelt after sable. A very smart won.
an of my acquaintance has just Sc
cured a magnificent coat of natural
musquash lined through with SPUR
rel, with mufr and toque to match.
The toque is tricorne swathed
with soft brown tulle and adorned
with smart cluster of bronze wings.
Some do not fancy this fur, think
ing it but cheap substitute (sug-
gestive of imitations) for sable. Such
is not the case. Musquash is the In
dian name for muskrat.

A Lace Empire FrocIl.

A lovely Empire evening gown de-
signed for young bride is of lace,
the design of the lace being woven
in the shape of the gown and much
heavier at the hem, the pattern be-
coming closer again on the tiny,
short, close-fitting bodice. The lace
was all mounted over soft under
dress of palest gray chiffon, beneath
which was another layer of pale blue
chiffon, the silk lining being of a
VArv daIicate Straw s~aap.

Capes For the Graceful.

Small triple capes upon the new
redingotes give width to the shout
ders, and this in turn adds to the
apparent slenderness of the waist,
These fashionable garments should
be worn only by those of erect and
graceful figure or the result is like
ly to be deplorably lacking in style.

Foreign Evening Wraps.

At foreig1 theatres and casinos
the wrap is an important garment,
especially as it is not always left
in the cloak-room. Evening nantes
are now made of the fiimsiest ma
terial, lace and chiffon, emphasized
by valuable furs, being the chief in
gredients; but panne, Liberty satin
and velvet are also used for this
purpose. Now and then one may
meet with a decorative affair of
which fine, light-colored cloth is the
background.

American Navv,s Aid.

Washington, D. G. - Everything
possible will be done by the American
Government to alleviate the distress
of the residents of the stricken city
of Kingston. The first thought oil
the Navy Department when news OF
the disaster was received here was tc
order Admiral Evans, commanding
the Atlantic fleet, now at Guatanamol
Cuba, to proceed at once to Kingston
and give assistance. Evans, it turned
out, however, had anticipated the or
ders of the officials, and before mes.
sage could be sent to him word was
received here from the wireless sta
ton in Key West that he had already
started on the torpedo boat destroyer
Whipple, the fastest ship of his fleet.
Several hours after the Admiral
left the battleships Missouri and In
diana followed, and other vessels also
will proceed to Kingston at once.
The Navy Department is relying on
Admiral Evans for authentic news of
the disaster, and it is getting in read
mess to send supplies.

General shal1eup of Globe.

London. Belar tele-
graphs from the Laibaeh Observatory
that there is general unrest of the
earth, of which the earthquake at
Jamaica is only oneinstance. Further
proofs are given by shocks elsewhere,
hailstorms and rock falls.
The earthquake at Kingston was
coincident with increased activity of
Mount Etna, in Italy, and slight
earthquakes in the Madonian Noun
tains. The volcano is throwing out
considerable quantity of ashes, and
subterranean detonations are heard.
The present phenomena are similar
to those of 1898, when one of the
most severe eruptions occurred.

The whites, numbering approx
mately 10000, are well to do, being

of government officials and their
families. There are several res

WON'T Paw Fire LOSSES.

London.--It is roughly estimated
that the twenty-three British fire
Offices in Kingston have about
21,500,000 insurance there. The ex-
pectation is that they will stand to-
gether and repudiate liability for all
fire losses due to the earthquake.
Two months ago, after a shock of
earthquake in Jamaica had been re-
ported, we'll known London insur-
ance firm telegraphed, offering to ar
range insurance on Kingston proper
ty against all damage done by earth
quake, including fire. The firms cor
respondent replied that no such in
surance was wanted in Kingston, as
no serious earthquake had occurred
within the memory of living man.
There had been slight shocks, but
material damage had never resulted
from any of them. 1t is unfortunate
for the people of Kingston that the
proposed insurance policies were not
placed, since the existing fire policies
all contain earthquake clauses, ex-
Guiding liability.

open to any one who cared to enter
and help himself to what he could
carry away.
Although the residence section did
not fare as badly as the business sec
ton, most of the houses were dam
aged. When flames broke out these
houses easily were destroyed in the
fire. Rich and poor alike are home
less and are seeking food wherever
they can.
Although little outside of their
own misery is known to the residents
of Kingston, the indications here are
that the devastation wrought by the
earthquake in the surrounding coun-
try also has been great. Messengers
who arrived from nearby towns say
they did not see a single uninjured
house between the places from which
they came and Kingston. The loss of
life also is said to have been great in
the outskirts of the city
Practically all the work of burying
the victims of the disaster is being
done by the whites The negroes abb
solutely refuse to do anything save
moan and weep, and no argument can
overcome their hatred of labor Prac-
tically all the hard work is being done
by the professional men and business
men, whose interests lie in saving the
city.
1t will be days before anything Ike
systematic effort to bring order out
of the present chaos can be begun.
No one appears to know what to do,
and everyone is waiting for outside
help. Those who were fortunate
enough to obtain horses and carts
fastened to get as far away from
Kingston as possible, and so bad are
conditions that thousands of others
will have to be transported elsewhere.

Three Small Towns Destroyed.

Kingston, amaica-Unofficia re-
ports from outlying districts say that
at least three small settlements have
been totally destroyed, and the dead
and injured there may reach 200 or
300. These places are Boston, Trini-
tyville and Coley.
For many miles from Kingston the
upheavals and openings of the earth
ruined sugar and coffee plantations,
and homes and warehouses of the
planters were wrecked
Spanish Town reports great loss of
property, but no lives, and says the
shocks were feltseventy-five or eighty
miles west of Kingston.

DAIRY NOTES.

Do not change the feed suddenly.
Keep the separator clean by wash
ing after each separating.
Stir each of the separate lots of
cream every day to keep them uni
form.
It takes capital to run any bust
ness, but the best capital creamery
can have is plenty of raw material.
Feed the farm by the way of
good COW. Give her the right feed and
she will give your land the right fer
tilizers
Observe and enforce the utmost
cleanliness about the cattle, their at
tendants. the stable, the dairy and
all utensils.
Instead of buying more COWS the
average farmer could make more
money by spending the money on
better care of the cows he already
possesses.
Buttermakers, don't quarrel with
q patron; patrons, don't quarrel with
your buttermaker. Children quar-
| rel; business men state their case,
and then It is a case OF take it or
leave it alone"
