BAND AND STRAP TRIMMINGS.
Fashions Dictum a Boon to Woman
 of Originality.

Dame Fashion has stamped the seal of approval upon band and strap trim. mings in no unmistakable manner, and like the embroideries they contin- ually appear in new guises--a sort of continuous beauty show. Certainly, no details lend so much finish to a gown, no matter what the material or for what occasion it is designed. No material is too rich or style too elaborate to admit of further embel. lishment in the way of bias bands or folds, and in most instances they are of contrasting fabric. selected for the purpose of accentuating some dis. tinguishing feature of the gown itself.
 There is no better way of displaying ones originality than in the use of this particular style of trimming. and it is said that many of the wonderfully clever ideas exploited by some of the leading houses are the children of fashionable women's brains, as it were. and modistes are glad to make acknowledgment of the originality of their patrons.

THE LIFE or SERVICE.
Mereiful Sentence That Was Passed
 Upon Man by the Creator.

It was merciful sentence which the Creator passed upon man for his disobedience Tn the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread" for to the punishment itself he stands indebted for health. strength, and all the en- joyment of life. And though. the ground was pronounced cursed for his disobedience, yet is that curse 50 or dered to be the punishment, chiefly and almost solely of those who, by in- temperance or sloth, infiict 1t upon themselves. The stoutest timber stands on Norwegian rocks. where tempests rage and long, hard winters reign. The muscles are seen most fully developed in the brawny arm that plies the blacksmith's hammer. Even so the most vigorous and healthy piety is that which is the busiest, which has its hands full of good works, which has neither time nor room for evil, but, aiming at great things both for God and man, promptly and summarily dismisses temptation with Nehemiah's answer, T have a great work to do. therefore. I cannot come aown."---Montreai Her ald.

WEDNESDAY. APRIL 5, 1907.

Records of American trade with the Orient have been compiled by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor. They show that this country has been picking up decidedly in the trade of the far east in the last year. The commerce with Japan and China fell off alarmingly in 1906 owing largely to the boycott ill China and the cessation of the war between Russia and Japan. In fact exports to Japan for the year 1906 showed drop of S21 100000 and those to China of S2S,5O0,OO0. But nearly all of this lost ground has been recovered and advices to the state department say that the Chinese boy colt has been officially called off. But this announcement has been made officially before, so it may be we'll not to put too much faith in it.

Figures are published by the cen sus office showing that the population of the United States is increasing steadily and enormously and that it is now hearing the 1OO,OOO,O0O mark.

There has been general increase in dens- ity of population from % to the square mile to 2S, and the population of the cities has increased much more rapidly than that of the couu- try. The general increase of popula- tion since 1900 was only S.S per cent but the increase of the urban popu- lation. namely that of all the incor- porated towns. was 15.9 per cent. And this increase was still more marked in the larger cities. the in- crease in cities over JO.OOO in popu. lation being 16.3 per cent.

Seeing that they have not gotten their increases of salaries, the government clerks of Washington are trying 10 enlarge their income by reducing their expenses. They are going in for a cooperative store where they think they will be able to save money. This is significant move. says Wash ington writer The price of all sorts of necessaries has been going up rapidly in Washington. more SO per- haps in the last five years than in any other city of the country. The gov ernment employees in Washington number quite a large proportion of the population. and if they succeed in their cooperative scheme. it will be a great object lesson to the rest of the country. They propose to open store for groceries and provisions and to enlarge it as occasion demands and opportunity offers. They wish to distribute the stock in small sized shares among all the government em- Plcyes ef the city.

what each government employe buys and after deducting certain amount of the profits for running expenses and enlargement of the plant, the re- mainder will be devided among the clerks in proportion to their pur. chases. This distribution of profit Will take place quarterly and will amount to the same thing as though the clerks got their provisions con siderably under the market rate. The cooperative stores have been run abroad, especially in England, for many years and have proved an i'm mense success.

New FlanneIs Will Not Have Monop.
 oily of Popularity.

The new dannels are light weight,
 with smooth. even finish and alto
 gether very desirable, but, for all
 that, the serges. albatross, nuns veil
 ing, and cashmere will hold their own against them, except for sporting cos tunes, when flannel Is invariably the correct material. A very chic little suit for tennis. or boating. or, in fact, for general morning wear, has an odd. ly designed blouse. There Is a shal. low yoke piece cut in one with long strap epaulettes pointed at the ends which conhne the box plait at either side of the front, which is slightly fulled underneath. The armholes are outlined with fitted pieces of the blue and white striped flannel, cut cross wise and long, pointed pieces are set in at either side of the wide front box plait. The sleeves are of the reg. ulation bishop order. with four-inch cuffs. the tops cut in elongated points, which overlap the under part under meath pearl button. Pearl buttons also decorate the yoke pieces, while three loops of blue louisine matching the blue stripe in the blouse material. in graduated lengths depend from the rounded points of the yoke. and crush girdle of the same silk gives a charming finish to charming blouse.
 While these flannel waists will en- joy unusual popularity as separate blouses. they will also form accom- paniments to skirts of the same mate rial. So. If it is desired to utilize the one blouse In the two ways. 1t is by all means advisable to select a color or combination of colors that will not fade.

In the challenge issued by Foraker
 to the Taft people and accepted by
 them. the distinct understanding to
 this time is that Taft goes in for both
 the presidential nomination aud the
 senatorship, Foraker doing the same
 thing so far as he is concerned. If
 the party managers do not make a different arrangement this would
 mean the definite elimination of eith- CT Taft or Foraker from the future politics of the state. The belief, how ever. is that in the primaries to be held the republican voters will have put before them a ballot that will enable them to vote for Taft for presidential delegates and Foraker for senator or vice versa, as desired. The view is taken that while many Ohio voters will not want to sec Foraker named as the choice of the state for the presidency. when so big a man as Taft Is in the field. they will not agree to defeating Foraker for the senate. considering him a ca pablo and brainy man who ought to stay where he is. It is also fore casted that while Taft may get the delegation the fight that Foraker will put up will be so strong as to com pei his enemies 10 consent to his re- maining in the senate so as to insure party harmony in the state. The Foraker men do not think that any second choice as to senatorship will he necessary. as they are confident that Foraker will easily defeat Taft for the delegates and insure his own return to the senate should he not SO cure the presidential nomination. That the president is linked with Taft in the fight is not denied in any quarter The hostility between him and Foraker. not to mention the great fondness he has for his Secre- tary of war. insures his sympathy for and cooperation with the Taft forces.

When Mark Twain wrote "Pudd'n. head Wilson" it is doubtful if he real ized into what general vogue this novel form of Identification would come. and that its commercial value and utility would be incalculable. For a number of years thumb prints have been adopted as a means of identify. ing criminals. but it remained for ths First National bank of Cheyenne, wyo., to adopt this method for the Identification of customers. The bank has large number of Japs. Greeks and other foreigners as patrons. these being employed in the railroad serv- ice. But few of these can write the English language. and some of them not ever their owD.
