NEAT AND SENSIBLE COSTUME
FOR RAINY WEATHER.
European Authorities Indorse the
WelI-cut Killed Garment for

Should girls wear short skirts?
Why not? If they have the sense
to do it. Is there anything neater
and trimmer than a well-cut Killed
skirt clearing the ground by two
inches or more, and showing pair
of high-laced boots? 1t is the last
thing in smartness for rainy weather,
and never was there a fashion more
hygienic than that of the "trottoir"

England, then, the only nation that

The Value Of Publicity.

Nearly every month somebody cites
the danger of arresting justice
through publicity. The best detective,
however, is the honest newspaper
ever ready to correct its mistakes.
The juror who does not read the
newspapers is the most dangerous
Juror. AS rule. you may safely trust
intelligent men to decide case In
harmony with the evidence. The eff
fort to prevent publicity from invad-
ing the mind is like the effort to pro-
mote health by arresting the circula-
tion of ozone When a newspaper
unfairly tries the case beforehand
and hangs somebody before convic-
ton, 1t makes friends for the ac-
cused. II man is abused before
trial. he should be grateful; for I'M
warranted abuse is boomerang. We
know of successful man who says
that he is chiefly indebted for his sue
cess to his stupid enemies whose
ample rope gets about their own
necks. This world is promoted by
its martyrs. The innocent can best
afford full publicity. says the Lewis
ton Journal. Prejudice or misinfor'
nation are eliminated by turning on
ahe light.

The season of navigation on the In
terror waterways will soon end, and 1t
will be a record breaker. Particularly
is this true of the great lakes and the
transactions on the Sault Ste Marie
canals. The figures for October
showed that 44,404, $50 tons Of freight
had passed through the canals up to
that time, quantity largely in excess
of any preceding year. The November
returns will bring the total to 50OOO,-
900 tons, which will be gain OF more
than 10 per cent. over 1905. The bulk
of the business is done by the Ameri-
can canal. and the largest part OF the
shipments Is made up Of ore from the
Lake Superior beds. These shipments
are certain to increase rapidly and In
definitely, for the development OF the
ore regions is going on at prodigious
rate, says the Troy News. Articles
other than ore are transported on the
great lakes and through the canals,
and will multiply in number and In
crease in bulk as the country sloWS
in population and advances in indus
try. The time must come when the
canals now in use will not furnish
sufficient outlet and the west Is in
tensely alive to that fact. The action
OF the state of New York in appropri-
ating s1O1 100000 to enlarge its
canals is regarded as great step
toward improved water fasilities, but
the west will never be content until
It has ship channel from the lakes
to tidewater, and that is why special
effort is now being directed toward
getting congressional approval and
national aid for the deep waterways

rhe slavery Of superstltlon.

There is no form of mental slavery
90 torturing as the slavery OF super
stition, says Lillian Bell in Delineator.
We are fond of RELOCATING believers in
II to the unenlightened, but few are
the men and women today who are
perfectly free from 1t in some shape.
And after all, what does 1t amount to
but fear? Fear of disappointment or
disaster. We spend our lives in the
shadow of a great fear. / feel no
scorn for the victims of superstitions
of whatever sort cherished, any more
than would feel contempt for the ILL
treated child, which. when snatched
from the beatings to safety, flung up
its tiny arms to guard its face from
expected blows, at the slightest move
on the part of its new-found friends.
But my heart is wrung with the same
sympathy for all unnecessary and in.
applicable fear which is allowed to
torture and make miserable lives
which but for that would be mostly
sunshine.

of animals has an important bearing
on their system of feeding, and what

The small and single stomach of the
horse. its capacious bowels, and the

marked distinction to the enormous

sheep differs much from the feeding
of pigs from either.
The object of food is to build up and

the Montreal Herald, but food as re-
ceived is quite useless for the purpose
of the body, and before it can be uti'

food is its power of undergoing alb

The Little Glove Handkerchief.

Those that are clever needlewomen
find it quite possible to make the little
glove handkerchief at home and in one
of its most attractive designs. They
first cut down a large handkerchief to
the right size and then roll in very
tightly the raw edge on all sides. This
little roll is finally overhanded with
heavy linen thread of some color and
then overhanded round again in the
opposite direction. This crossing of
the overland stitches forms many col
ored crosses over the roll which bord-
ers the handkerchief. When the glove
handkerchief is of fine quality it is
edged with valenciennes lace.
