FOR THE cHANeEARLE SILKS.

Shimmerng Material.

Where to place the changeable silk
looked like problem, until it was dis
covered that it gave a beautiful effect
as a foundation when covered with
some shimmering white material. 1t
has identifying effect with white
which makes the outer garment rich
er in appearance. A good changeable
silk which is splendid for foundation
purposes is a mingled color of gray
and pink The gray must be almost
white, which reflects a pinkish tone;
steel blue and pink is pretty, while
Copenhagen blue and silver is ex-
tremely handsome. Only very light
tints should be worn with white,
though ruby and plum is a lovely
shade to wear under black net dress
Cream and yellow is a rich color for
the foundation to white mousseline,
and when the outer garment is right
ly ornamented with wide lace inser-
ton and large medallions on the
founce, the openwork is picturesque
in shadowing the uncertain yellow
tinge beneath.

One hv Gen. Miles.

Gen. Miles used to tell of surgeon
at certain post during the civil war
who was chaffed great deal for his
fiowery and extravagant style of ex-
preston, both written and oral. On
one occasion it appears that the col
onel of the regiment had appropriated
the surgeons tent for a table,
without the usual formality of stat
ing his intentions. Whereupon the
surgeon sent a complaint TO the of
ficer in command. Among other things
he said: Il have not so much as a fly
to interpose between my head and
the star-decked heavens above me"
This unique document followed the
regular routine and eventually re-
turned to the unfortunate surgeon
with the following endorsement: Col.
Brown will cause a fly to be inter
posed between the head of the com
plainant and the star-decked heavens
above him as soon as possible IL

Changing a Business Emblem.

In a Brooklyn suburb barber rent

vacated. Among the belongings
left behind by the proprietor of the
mortuary business was a weather
beaten wooden representation of a
monument. with base, pedestal, shaft
and capstone of pine, which stood in
front of his show window. The barber
repainted the monument, lettered the
base with his name and "tonsorial ar
tist," painted sanitary red crosses on
the faces of the pedestal, put spiral
stripes of red and white around the
shaft, and painted the cap pea green.
Then he was ready for business.

'TWhat Is History"

What is history but the more or less
superficial opinions of certain men
with respect to the movement and
course of events, some of which may
be doubted or denied or disputed?
There is a widespread opinion that
history is something apart, something
that gets itself done whether or no,
and windy orators have been known
to appeal to it's judgment But it will
have to be written by men who have
been trained to interpret it impair

Newspapers and Books Printed To
Day Have short Lives.

"The men who wrote history on
tablets OF stone in ages gone had a
difficult task 10 perform, and had to
cultivate the habit OF brevity," says
writer in a German paper, "but
what they wrote was preserved It will
be different with the newspapers and
books of the present time The paper
upon which they are printed will dis
integrate in a few years, and the
records, historical, scientific and liter
airy, will become dust / saw two
papers last week which told the
whole story. One contained an ac-
count of the death of Napoleon Bona
parte. It was printed in 1921, was in
a state of perfect preservation, and
looked as though it might last. with
ordinary care, hundred years The
other paper was kept because its
leading article described the surren-
der of Sedan, which had taken place
a day before Although it had been
printed nearly so years later, the
Sedan paper had to be handled care
fully to prevent it's tearing in the
creases. One of these papers was
printed on old-fashioned paper, and
the other on the modern kind. With
the two specimens before me can
not refrain from urging once more
that few numbers of all books and
newspapers, enough for all first-class
libraries, be printed on good paper
for the benefit of those who will live
after us"

put in bill placing automobiles in
the same class as traction engines
and requiring a man to walk aheadA
of each machine to warn persons Ont
the road that the vehicle was ap-
preaching. He compromised on a
bill limiting the speed to ten miles
an hour and providing heavy fines
for violations of the law.
TO Prohibit Passes
Poolrooms are prohibited unde
another bill, and still another limits
racing to forty days at each trad&
during the year. One bill prohibS@s
the issuance of passes on railroad or
steamboat lines to city, county or
state officials, and members of the
Legislature are included in the list.
This is bill, like many railroad bills
offered at every session. Tobac-
co bills OF all kinds have been intro
duced. The one which the Ameri-
can Society of Equity wants most is
the one offered by w. c. McChordl
which will place the big tobacco
companies under the police power of
the State. In this way it is believ-
ed they can be better controlled.
A bill providing for a license of
$50 an acre on all tobacco grown in
Kentucky during 1908. was intro
duced. Under this bill, should it
pass, the farmers of the state in all
sections would be unable to grekW
tobacco for year. y

are denouncing this measure as they
want to grow crops.

SOME BILLS ARE FREAKS
Numerous Measures of In
terest to Fourth Class
Cities.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 27.--Bills of
many kinds have been introduced in
the two Houses, the total number
being now BAL, with an another bill
day to come in the House on Mon
day. In the House there have been
209 bills offered thus far and in the
Senate 1872. These bills cover wide
range, but the bill which is most to be
found is the one on the repeal of the
dog tax law. Seven bills providing
for the repeal of this law have been
introduced in the House and three
in the Senate. One bill relating to
the dog tax provides that the money
collected from this source shall be
devoted to road construction. There
have been so many dog laws that it
has been suggested that a special
committee, to be called a dog COM
mittee, be appointed in each house.
Bills regulating the liquor bust
ness have not been so numerous, but
some of them are drastic. Two pro-
vide for State prohibition, after a
submission to the people of the
question. Two provide for extension
of the county unit law so as to make
it apply to every county in the State.
Another provides that no liquor
shall be sold in any place where an
other kind of business is conducted.
This would stop drug stores from
selling liquors and would also close
up the corner groceries and saloons.
Then there is bill increasing the
licenses Of saloons and making the
$500. Another bill, of the
same character, places the minimum
at $3.50. All sorts of railroad bills,
the railroads liable for va.
rious acts, have been offered, and
among the number is the two-cent
law.
