The wooden fabrics are so attractive
this year that little trimming is need
ed for their establishment. small
gown in wood-b brown wool batiste is
here shown. having yoke-band and
garnitures of contrasting velvet, and,
while quite durable, it is also very
dainty and becoming. The frock is
admirably adapted to home making, as
its freedom from elaboration renders
its construction quite simple. The
blouse is slightly gathered around the
wait, so that a pretty fulness re-
suits, suggesting the French mode.
The sleeves are made in heightened
puff style. with an extension in box
pleat effect which reaches to the edge
of the yokeband and a deep cuff which
may be shortened if an elbow sleeve
is desired. The guimpe is simulated
by facing the lining at the neck, while
for a round neck effect this is cut out
even with the yokeband. Any of the
seasonable fabrics may be chosen for
making this dress Ia yards of 81
inch goods being needed for the 9-year
size.

AUSTRALIAN INSURANCE.
Scheme by Which State Provides
Cheap Protection to Settlers.

Consul General John p Bray Of Mel
bourne reports that the government OF
the Australian state Of Victoria is
about TO undertake the experiment OF
state insurance in connection with the
houses OF settlers, which the govern
ment has erected on scheme by
which repayments by the occupants
are extended over long periods.
1t is estimated that the settlers will
have to pay the government for the
state insurance of the houses what is
equal to an annual premium Of not
much more than onefourth per cent.
upon the value of the property, where
as II companies did the insuring the
men Notwithstanding to department
tai estimates-have to pay at the rate
Of between one-half per cent. and one
per cent. The government has al
ready accepted the responsibility fol-
the $50 houses which have either been
erected or are being built. The houses
are wooden, and many OF them are
situated in localities where the fire
fighting machinery is not of the most
modern type The companies offered
to insure the places at premiums vary
ing from 1855 to s425, allowing ten
per cent. discount. This would have
cost the $50 settlers the price of about
two houses year.
The government program provides
for the building of 500 new houses
within the next two years. This Will
bring the total number up to 75O
houses. According to the department
tai estimates If the government were
to accept the insurance companies
terms it would cover the cost of six
houses year in insuring this mum.
Der. The government hopes instead
to charge the settlers less than would
the companies, yet establish sub
stantial fund from which to meet all
| losses.

BY WHEELeARRoW IN CHINA.
Two Passengers Go 20 Miles Day
for Ten Cents Each.

Probably more freight and more
passengers are transported in China
by the wheelbarrow than by any other
land method. The wheelbarrow used
in China differs from that used in
America in the fact that the wheel is
set in the center and thus supports
practically the entire load while the
handles are supported in part by
strap or rope over the shoulders OF
the mar who operates it.
As a result the coolie In China will
transport nearly half a ton on his
wheel Wheelbarrows are much used
In the country where the roads are
but little developed, and have heard
that passengers sometimes make the
entire trip from Shanghai to Picking. q
distance of 600 miles, by barrow.
A two-passenger barrow will make
about 20 miles a day, and the coolie
is content with pay of about 20 cents
day, or an average of about half a
cent mile for each passenger.
On the level, well-kept streets of
the foreign quarters of such cities as
Hongkong. Shanghai and Picking the
wheelbarrow coolie viii struggle along
with load of six or even eight people

cnttnn In Arizona.

After an experiment that is said to
establish beyond any doubt the adap-
liability Of the Salt River valley soil
to the growing of Egyptian cotton a
movement is now on foot to plant a
large acreage this season, and IT Is
firmly believed that cotton is destined
TO become one of Arizona's greatest
sources of wealth.
The movement was started by w L.
Strickland OF Arlington, who stated
few days ago that as much as sou
acres will be planted to Egyptian
cotton this season.
Experiments made at Arlington
show that two bales Of cotton can be
raised to the acre there Some OF the
cotton raised at Arlington was sent to
government experts and they declared
II equal In texture and quality to the
Egyptian product.

THE fond mother who can with
stand the temptation Of having darling
baby photographed. astride OF the
pony, has not yet been found, one OF
the photographers explained. I'VE get
from four to ten orders in each block
in we'll populated neighborhoods. All
sorts of subterfuges are used by the
women. One Of them forced US to re-
hearse' baby on the pony for a half
hour before the picture was taken.
She wanted some OF the pictures on
post cards, she said, so she could send
copies to friends back east. She
wished baby to look natural on the
animal so that the eastern friends
would think the family out here had
struck II rich and we're maintaining
a stable of saddlers.
Another woman who was not salts
fed to allow the picture taken with
her modest home in the background,
asked us to take the picture over in
the next block, where there was an
unoccupied house Of rather preten-
tious exterior We did il and the
woman ordered two dozen copies. Ba-
bies look so cute on the pony, the
women say. Next year we are going
