popular fancies for spring. Many OF
these pelerine effects are seen, some Of
them detachable.
The long dropping shoulder and the
kimono sleeve are seen in most of the
new models. When combined with the
pinafore waist they are quite charm
ing.
Plaid broadcloths are growing more
popular even than when they first ap-
peared in the autumn, and are very
effective in lighter combinations for
summer wear.
Crochet buttons of silk and linen are
extremely smart and are to be had in
all colorings. Buttons of tortoise and
other shells, enriched with gold or mock
jewels, are fetching.
Directoire coats are much seen, both
in plain and striped effects. In cloth
suits seen recently the lines of the
jacket ran perpendicularly, while those
on the skirt were diagonal.
The expression of the figure is car
ried to a fashionable perfection when
the waist is small and the shoulders
wide, and to obtain that result all
smart gowns are fashioned.
Plain voiles and those in Pekin or
striped patterns constitute a majority
of the more pretentious costumes seen,
and narrow black and white stripes are
most favored. These are made up over
white Innings, as are almost all voiles
of whatever color, and are elaborated
in many ways.

simple little spool holder was designed
especially to guard against such acci-
dents. 1t is made Of wire bent to shape,
the upper edge formed into a pin,
with a cooperating hook, by which it
can be most conveniently reached. The
spool of cotton being used is slipped
over the lower rod, where it is firmly
held, the rod being made of spring
wire. AS each needleful of thread is
used another is quickly procured with
out the necessity Of reaching to the
table for the spool or hunting it on the
floor. lg

To Root shippers.

Authorities say In order to comply
with the pure drug and food law, roots
scan be bought, sold or handled only
when the package in which they are
placed is branded with its exact con-
tents; in other words, contents of the
package must be strictly what is named
by the brand. Roots of all kinds (ex-
cepting ginseng, perhaps) must be
cleansed and washed of all dirt before
drying, and all tops, stems, etc, re-
moved.

In answer to a question as to the

Women and mules will do our bid

The Tobacco Crop.

That the United States has become
the largest producer of tobacco in the
world Is shown by an official bulletin
containing an estimate Of the extent
and value of the crop raised last year.
Iii all about 796,099 acres OF tobacco
were grown, producing an average
yield of S57.2 pounds to the acre, or a
total Of 6S2 2.42s,530 pounds The av-
erage value Of the crop was 10 cents
per pound, or total Of about $6S, ,232,-
CAT. While 1t is almost impossible to
comprehend the magnitude of the val
ue of the manufactured products of
tobacco, a glance at the total figures
may convey some idea of the develop
ment of this great and distinctive
American industry.
In 1900 the total value Of the manu-
factured products of tobacco was
$2S3, ,076,546. In the manufacture 142,-
1T people were employed, who earned
a total wage of $49,852,4 ,4S4.
