Over Blouse or Jumper.

The over blouse that can be closed
at the front is novelty and well
come one, for no matter how charm
ing the bodice may be that closes at
the back it involves more or less
difficulty to the wearer, whereas this
one is simple in the extreme. In the
illustration it is made of one of the
novelty pongees showing lines Of
green on a natural colored ground,
and is trimmed with green velvet and
tiny ribbon pleating, but it can be
utilized for almost every seasonable
material. 1t is very charming in
pongees of all sorts and the material
is eminently fashionable, but it also
is well suited to the light weight
woods and to all the so-called Sum-
mer Silks" while in addition it
would make up most charmingly in
the summer materials of warm
weather wear such as embroidered
Swiss muslin, Powered batiste voile,
plain and figured, and the like.
The waist is made with front, back
and sleeves. It is cut out at the
shoulders to form open V-shaped por-
tions, while it is laid in pleats at the
shoulders that provide becoming full
ness. The sleeves are separate and
scanned to the arms eyes and the
closing can be made either invisib1y
or with buttons and button-holes. =

the annual report of United States
Supervising Inspector-General Uhler,
with a total of 100000, 900 passen-
gers carried on waters coming under
the United States steamboat inspec-
tion service, only one life was lost
out of every 2,390,43S. In 1906 fis-
cal year, owing to the stranding Of
the steamer Valentia on Vancouver
Island with loss of 121 lives, and
the unprecedented number of casual
ties on Lake Superior that year, the
loss of life was increased to one out
of every 1,796,000 people carried.

Raps in the Composing Room.

The editor of the Concordia (Kan.)
paper has wooden leg. He wrote
and printed this paragraph:
The town has been infested lately
with bunch of beggars. One young
fellow, big enough and strong
enough to hold breaking pillow in
patch of hazel brush stubble, asked
for cash simply on the ground that
he was deaf mute. What is to stop
deaf mute from working and earning
his own living? Another young fell
low struck this Office for help and all
that was the matter with him was
that he had leg cut off below the
knee-what is to stop him from
earning a living at a score of differ
ent honorable avocations? The boys
in the back end of this printing
shack always enjoy the fun when a
one-legged beggar comes in the front
door to strike ''the old man" for q

Town on Scene of Great DISASTER.
Through the bed of what was once
South Park Lake, one of the largest
bodies of water in the State two or
three railroad tracks run. The sum-
mer cottagers are gone. The guests
at the clubhouse are gone. The club
is in the hands of artisans. A mine is
being sunk in the bed of the lake
which brought death to three thousand
persons and caused millions of dol
lars damage, the afternoon of May
81, 1889. And the town which is
springing up about the new mine is

Lake still existed the town site would
be twenty to sixty feet under water.

New Gloves.

4 new idea in long gloves is to
have the hand of kid and arm of silk
or lace or vice versa. The effect is
rather quaint, especially if the lace
on the arm be fine meshed, but when
the hand is of silk or lace and the
arm of suede or glace kid the en-
semble is good and tends to make
the hand appear smaller. The de-
nland for black gloves is on the in

Farmer il fair basis for the formation

as its Veterinary Department is every
where esteemed highly. 1t is, however,
more than q veterinary department. DR..
C. D. Smead, who has had charge OF 1t
for more than five years, every week an
swers very many questions in regard to
every variety of livestock known on the
American farm, not alone prescribing
medicine and treatment, but telling how
the diseases might have been prevented,
and laying down specific rules for feed
and care In health, in sickness and IN
convalescence. Every farmer keeps
some livestock-good veterinarians are
scarce.
Each inquirer is fully answered, but
DIR. Smead goes far beyond this; he be-
lieves that any information which one
intelligent farmer needs is also needed
BY hundreds and thousands of others,
and he often so broadens his answer as
to make it a complete essay on the sub
ject discussed. A year or two ago MT.

said in meeting of farmers that valu-
able horse had been attacked with a dis
ease of which he had known nothing
until he had recently read of it in The

Smead had taught him enabled him to
save his horse. Another farmer arose
and said he had had a similar experience.
