TO MAKE HARNESS LAsTLoNdER

A little economy, which sometimes
means a good many dollars to a man
is the proper care of harness, carriage
tops, etc. Leather in daily use, ex-
posed as it is to sun and wind, soon
becomes dry, hard, inelastic, and un-
able to stand strain. Then, very
likely at the most unfortunate mo-
ment, a break occurs, and precious
time and money are lost. All this is
easily prevented by a little fore
thought and care on the part of the
owner. Every one owning horses
should be supplied with good leather
preservative, and a good axle oil.
These two things are necessary to the
largest economical use of working
outfit, or pleasure equipage.
Observation has shown that no oil
penetrates leather so deeply, and re-
sists the drying effect of sun and wind
so well as Eureka Harness Oil.
Neatsfoot and some other inferior
oils sometimes used, easily become
rancid, or because of containing acid,
hurt the leather. Stable men and 9TH
ers posted on the subject, invariably
use Eureka Harness Oil. When harness
is given an occasional dressing of this
oil, and wagon spindles CREASED with
Boston Coach Oil, very large reduc-
ton is made in the necessary repair
bills. Boston Coach Oil, by the way,
is very much superior to Castor Oil.
1t has splendid lasting qualities, will
not gum or corrode, and is more eco
nomical in every way.
People who are after economy in
stable management will do we'll to ask
for these oils.

WHY GEN. MIN WAS HATED.
WantOn Cruelty of the officer Assas-

" antOn cruelty or the OmCer AB8a1-
sinated in Russia Sunday.
Gen. Min, who was shot to death in
st. Petersburg Sunday by a young
woman who afterwards said to the po-
lice that she was but one of 10000
women who are ready to die that Rus
STA may be free, was one of the most
heartless of all the repressive agents
of the Car. His cruelty had made him
hated by the people.
Min was the commander of the Sem
inovsky regiment, which poured ter
rible fire into the parading workmen
near the archaeological Institute, in
st. Petersburg, last October. For that
bloody work he was raised to the rank
of general and sent to Saratov to quell
the disturbances following the assas-
sinatiOn of Lieut.. Gov. Sakaroff. One
of the first acts of Min after arriving
in Saratov was to order the fogging of
all the men in a large. village. He sat
on his horse like a statue while Cos
sacks carried out his terrible instruc-
tons, and with women and children
pressing around pleading for leniency
for his victims. 1t was Min who crush
ed the revolt last winter in Moscow.
He spared none suspected of revolu-
icn1ry sympathy, All persons found
carrying arms were tried at druIn-head
court martial and shot.

Paris Wedding Wells.

Partisan brides are selecting one of three
fashionable styles in wedding wells. This
spring they may be either entirely of lace,
OF tulle bordered with lace net, quite
plain or with silk wrought in conventional
or floral designs.
Those fortunate enough to own hounces
o. real lace are sewing them around
squares of net of a mesh corresponding to
the foundation of the lace. To do this the
Joining must be done by a close buttonhol-
irg or by the less neat but more rapid
process of sewing the houEce fiat in the net
with turning at the back, which may lie
slipstitched. The lace should be eased lit
tie at the corners with the thumb when
sewing it on, to make 1t hang gracefully.
The lace veil is not often worn over the
face; it is either draDed back from coro-
net of orange blossoms pinned across
the couture fatty, like bandeau, in the
fashion of a Dutch headdress.
1t is better to fasten the wedding veil to
the couture with small pearl pins. In this
case the hair is coiled on top and crowned
with orange blossoms. while with the low
Greek couture simpler wreath is worn.

double circular cloaks, made in the taffeta
or cloth, are fascinating in their novelty.
They are trimmed with shirred bands of
chiffon. headed with rather an elaborate
pattern of lace in three-cornered effect. the
lace of the heavy variety. The color of the
cape can be of any pale shade or black,
but 1t must be confessed 1t looks far bet
ter in the light shades than in black, al
though for mourning the black is very
smart The chiffon matches the color of
the material. the lace is either dyed to
match 1t also or Is in cream white over
color to match the material. The cape
does not fasten, excepting with fancy
buckle or ornament with long ends. There
are no buttons for instance or clasps and
age wrap this must be made with less
elaborate trimming. The shape is a good
one for" almost anything. and yet 1t must
be stated that 1t would not look half so
we'll made up less deliberately. The trim
ming, for instance, seems to be so much
part and parcel of it that it would not
look so attractive in palmer finish.
In sharp contrast to the dropping Shout
der is the style that calls for quite short
shoulder seam and a sleeve that is set high
into the armhole, and this is displayed to
the greatest advantage in the fitted coats
that have long skirts and that are made
up in the figured silks and in lace. These
are extremely new, although they We're
worn toward the latter part of the season
in Paris last summer and make up espe-
cialy well in the new brocaded and flow
cred silks that are to be found in so many
fascinatingly attractive shades that have
not been yet seen. There can be a variety
of colorngs, there can be the favorte
color scheme worked out-that is, one or
two shades of the same color combined,
while the trimming is of a still deeper
shade. very charming coat of this de-
scrption is made in two shades of very
light gray, trimmed with a plain taffeta of
the. same color, but a much darker shade.
The taffeta is put in the collar, bands
around the sleeves and in flaps or tabs
down the front, which are held down by a
rhinestone cut steel button. The
sleeves are large, and the fullness is ar
ranged most becoringly, so that 1t is at
the top of the sleeve and falls gracefully
down to just above the elbow, where. as
has been said. it is finished with a band
of plain taffeta and the fancy button.

of course can be carried out in blue and

est of all. 1t requires a good figure to wear
coat OF this kind, and yet it might more
truthfully be said it requires a good dress
maker or tailor to make such coat, for
its very simplicity and severity of outline
allows any fault of cut to show to ter
rible disadvantage, but 1t will not be long
before the mystery of its construction will
be possible for almost any dressmaker and
certainly those women who can afford to

trade of dressmaking cannot find a much
more satisfactory way of spending money

but there is somehow more than a hint
of it in of the theater gowns that
are turned out for spring wear. and. in
truth, the same models will be seen later
on in such material as batiste or fine lawn
that are now shown in crepe de chine or
taffeta of very soft quality. These gowns
are works of art in the manner in which
they made, well in the trimming
that is used on them. The bands of lace
insertion or of embroidery put
the gown that they outline the figure. At
the same time they show the beauty of the
trimming. There is something, ii must be
admitted, rather stiff in the effect as seen
and worn by a woman with any grace
whatever is very charming. The yoke is
a mass of embroidery. and the front of the
gown is also a mass of embroidery, while
the back of the gown has the same en-
broidery.

Tho Russian Bang.

The Gussian bang that was in vogue
twenty years ago is evidently coming back.
IL the way the marcelled pompadour now
worn in Paris may be taken as an indica-
tien. II is pulled down in a coauettish little
point in the middle of the forehead as the
1rlnged front was clipped generation ago,

be confused with the dropping pompadour
of couple OF seasons past. for il Is quite

and the muslin was allowed to show below
skirt and sleeve. 1t was turned up in hem
and delicately embroidered with fine vine.
An Irish lace coat, made in a plain box
shape without yoke, and widening toward
the bottom. was lined with white bengaine.
1t was trimmed around the bottom, up the
front and around the neck with white silk
braid put on in straight bands and edged
long, but the sleeves were very short, not
reaching to the elbow, and failing free with
out cuff. They were. indeed little more
than caps. These were quite plain, fiat at
the top and widening toward the bottom

bands of crushed white satin ribbon were

satin bows set on at equal intervals to
cover the fastenings.
Realiy more charming than the lace
frocks and coats are the new lingerie ere
atons for children These trimmed with
Falenciernes, cluny and Irish lace and with
fine embroidery and stitching. They are

child was made of white batiste and cluny
lace over pink silk. The coat was long, with
a square yoke. the lower part of the coat.
which was gathered on to this yoke. being
very full. Over the yoke fell deep cape
of the batiste and cluny. The coat was
trimmed around the bottom, up the front

with pink satin ribbons. The cluny employ
ed was quite narrow. both insertion and

finish of the yoke. running cTosswise. Four
bands were used in this manner to trim
the bottom of the skirt, being used as in
sertion. with featherstitching on either
side. The top of the skirt was finished
with shallow yoke of cluny. The belt
was made OF six rows of shirring. and
above this was another band of cluny.
The waist had a shallow square yoke of
cluny finished on either side with bands
OF the embroidery and demonstrating.
The sleeves Were most curiousiy formed,
In a sort of shawl effect. so that the stripes

points on top Of the arm. The material
before being made into the sleeves had
been pieated in 50 that tie plain material
was not seen. and there WAS a solid sur-
face of embroidered stripes. On top of the
sleeves where the stripes met there were
clury insertions, and little undersleeve
of the lace reaching to the elbow finished
the sleeve.
Another embroidered muslin frock was
trimmed with Irish lace. The lace was used
in a band around the skirt and for the
square yoke and short sleeves. This frock
was made somewhat In the Russian blouse
effect, It's very low belt being formed of
three rows of shirring. The unique feature
of the dress was the way in which the skirt
was finished, no ruffie or hem being used,
but simply very narrow edging of Irish
lace.
A somewhat simpler frock for everyday
wear was OF pink linen, There was a broad
hem and four tucks on the bottom of the
skirt, all being done in hensttching There
were extra rows of hemstitching in be-
tween the tucks.
