TARIFF REVISION PARADOX.

One Of the many contrarietie3 that
the country must get used to while
the tarIn hearing goes on. came out
yesterday in the recommendations Of
one Mr.. Plant, who Appeared before
the House ways and means commit
tee In IT'S preliminary hearing with a
view to tariff revision.
Mr.. Plant declared that the manu-
fac:urers In this country Of drugs and
chemicals controlled the domestic
market because OF a practically pro-
hbitive tariff of % per cent on the
commodities In which they deal Yet
Mr.. Plant recommends that the staple
quinine be taken from the free list and
duty Of Is per cent be imposed.
Quinine Is not produced In the Unit
ed States. unless artifcially. and II
is difficult. therefore, TO divine the
why and wherefore Of Mr.. Albert
Plants peculiar position.
Everybody will understand why a
prohibi.ive duty on foreign manu.ac-
lures. duplicated or counterfeited in
this country. should be lowered. but
few will be able to comprehend why
an exclusively foreign product should
be taken from the free list and sub
jected to a duty OF Is per cent. I'M
less perchance Mr.. Plant beneves no

ncacious with quinine for the redac-

He Is Out of Work.

Dear Margery Doon-I am a young
girl of II and nave been going with q
young man three years my senior for
over a year. My mother objects to him
because he is out Of work. She says
he is lazy, but I do not see how he can
be, as he always worked until the fac
tory smut down. a few weeks ago. My
parents are very mean to me on ac-
count Of his attentions. Now, dear
Miss Doom, / do not think this is suffi-
cient reason to give him Hp. l have
learned to love him dearly. He knows
they would treat me better if L gave
him up and told me to try it for a
while. until he got work. l know he
only thought of me in telling me to DO
so. Please answer o BESSIE.
You are rather young TO think seri-
ously of any man. 1t may seem hard,
but if l. were you / would try to do as
my mother wished. If, at the end of a
year or two you think just as much of
your friend, there can be no objection
TO your accepting his attentions, pro-
viding he is in a position to support

A JAPANESE TOY GARDEN.

~ I'D you ever play in a miniature
IA garden? If you were a Jap
@ aneso child you no doubt could
9nswer "Yes," but [ do not suppose
that many American children have
eYer seen them. In the Orient the min
iature garden is 4 favorite plaything
for the young. 1t contains roves Of
dwarf pines and rows of tiny maple
trees, bordering the cutest walks made
of white pebbles. These paths wind
in and out among the trees, and bring
one to a beautiful lake filled with "a
ter. or lead, perhaps, 10 the top of u
thickly wooded mountain, down the
side of which flows a noisy brook
spanned by tiny bridges.
And who lives in this enchanted gar
den? We can easily tell If we look
closely enough, for seated on the rus
tic benches or walking hand in hand
under the orange trees, the little china
dolls, dressed in the gayest of kimonos,
are enjoying themselves to the utmost.
1t is every bit as natural as though it
had been made large enough for you
and I to play in. The trees are real
trees and the plants real plants. There
is no sham about it at al The Japa-
nese are the only people who can make
these miniature trees grow, and the
child who owns a real garden is as
proud as proud can be.

A very beautiful picture hat is made
in fine chip and in a new shade of dark
lilac, which is likely to be very much
worn during the spring. Tho high
crown of this hat gives it a decided air
of novelty. A soft drapery Of Natter
blue satin ribbon is cleverly arranged
round the crown of the hat, while the
trimming is completed by one long
ostrich feather dyed to match exactly
the soft shade of lilac in the straw, and
set upright in a mode which is at once
daring and absolutely successful. The
wide brim is turned up on one side,
where it takes a beautiful curve.
There is really no material more en-
tirely suitable for coat and skirt than
that ever-delightful drap souple. light
in weight and with a surface as soft
and bright as satin, for which there
seems to be a great future in store,
since it is being used, as a matter of
fact, in pale colors for evening gowns
and coats, as well as in more useful
shades for morning and afternoon
toilettes.
The particularly graceful coat and
skirt costume above shows to the best
