Marvellous

Marvellous as it may seem, New York women have lately discovered a way of fastening their waists up the back without calling for assistance Though not lacking in generosity, they became so tired of the outstretched palm of the chamber maid that they now feel tbat it is time to guard their pocketbooks. The Gotham woman discovered that if she put her blouse on hind side before, with the sleeves hanging free, it could be fastened from top to bottom, with the exception of the hooks at the neck, and then turned around and the arms slipped into the sleeves without unduly straining the fastenings. So .osimple! So strange that no one had thought of it before. Or is it possible that women have used the plan and meanly kept il to themselves! Will the waist that but tons in the back now have a new lease of life!-New York correspondence to Pittsburg Dispatch.

 A DISARMAMENT PROPOSAL

Great Britain has taken very prae. tieal step toward the limitation of her naval armament by reducing her naval and military expenditure and by mak- ing the construction of one of her three proposed new Dreadnaughts contingent upon the action of the approaching The Hague conference with reference to the question of disafmament. This question, regarded by many as purely academic, and as involving merely visionary in ternational action, has thus taken on new aspect, which removes its solution from the realms of the improbable and impossible to those of the actua land the attainable. The British delegates 10 the conference will be able, if the topic of disarmament be included in its program, to submit to that body def nite and feasible proposition that ought to command attention, even should it fail to gain the assent of the deelgates from the other powers. At all events, the discussion of the subject Of disarmament should be less theoret ical than it was at the former confer enee, and we may reasonably hope for some result less vague than a pious pro fession of faith.
 The British government may now be considered ss committed, both in the cry and in practice, to the principle of liWitstion of srmaments. Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman, the Liberal prime minister, has written notable defense of ike government g position, in which hs takes the ground that nothing has occurred since the date of the last The Hague conference to render inoppor- tune the reduction of ornaments. which was then considered as desirable. He contends that the points of disagree ment betwess the powers have become

Misiudged His Intention

An officer of the army tells how Ma. ior Whipple of the Second Massachu- setts regiment, a veteran of the Civil war, hastened to Washington when the Spanish war broke out and offered his services to President Mckinley,
 But all officers, as well as men, had to undergo physical examination, and it was stated to Major Whipple that he would have to place himself in the hands of the examining officers at Wor- cester.
 Now Major Whipple, while man oi great bodily strength and perfecr health and activiey, was little defcieat ir the matter of teeth. An examining sur geon proposed to exclude him on that account.
 Whereupon the major waxed wroth.

less acute and are confined to smaller field. while the sentiment in favor of peace is incomparably stronger and more constant. Sir Henry declares the suspicion entertained in 1898 that no limit could be set to the struggle for sea power save the process of economic exhaustion has now become something lick certainty. The economic burden of increasing armaments was set forth in the rescript of the cZar cOnvoking The Hague conference as one of the principal reasons for reduction of mill tary and naval burdens; but this view was resented by General von Schwartz hoff. one of the German delegates, who asserted that Germany was not crushed under the weight of charges and taxes and was not approaching exhaustion and ruin on account of her military and naval expenditures. This patriotic declaration was echoed by one of the representatives of France, and doubtless awoke an approving response in the minds of the delegates from other pow CTS.
 During the past nine years, however, the struggle for sea power has become so determined and so costly as to de tract materially from the present truth fulness of General von Schwartzhoff $ assertion. The revenues of Germany are insufficient for her expenditures and she faces deficit of $50,000,0 which must be met by a loan. Japan is com pellcd to borrow at high rates of inter est. the finances of Russia are in chaos and even the United States, perhaps the most able of all the nations to bea, heavy military burden, is spending more than its income. England has been forced to reduce her military QnC naval expenditure, and stands ready tC reduce it still further, according to Pre- mier Campbell Zimmerman, is similar disposition is manifested elsewhere. Sil Henry s surmise that the point of econ Omic exhaustion is nearer than it wa
 in 1898 seems justified, in view of thu facts presented by the budgets of thu
 powers.
