SATIN MUCH IN FAVOR.
Is Liked Because Adaptable 70 the
Seasons Styles.

Indeed it is to be satin season.
Not the satin of our grandmothers. so
stiff and heavy, but light, soft, supple
material with a wonderful luster of its
own, which adapts itself marveiously
to the new clinging type of gown.
Paris is wild with enthusiasm over
the satin gilet. A gilet, you know,
is little vest. One of the smartest
of these imported small garments. and
one which American women are sure
to like, is made Of black satin bands
shaped to the figure, and each finished
in point. This gilet is single breast
ed and buttons in the front. Com
bined with the satin is a band of Per
sian embroidery forming the top. This
is a peculiarly Frenchy touch, and is
sure to be much the vogue. The con-
trast of the beautiful Persian colors
with the shining black satin is most
effective, and one Of those little things
which the French make so important.
Such a vest as this will prove most
serviceable to the woman with q linn

A IMPORTANT suggestions for minimiz-
4 ing loss of life in the coal mines
of the United States are contained in
a report submitted to President Roose-
welt through Secretary Garfield by the
three foreign mining experts who have
investigated conditions in American
mines.
These experts are Capt Arthur Des-
borough of England, Victor Watteyne
of Belgium and Carl Meissner of Ger
many.
They came to this country six weeks
ago at the invitation of the United
States government to assist in the
movement looking toward a reduction
of disasters.
The recommendations of the experts
will be printed as a bulletin by the
geological survey and distributed
among coal mine operators and min
ers. They refer to conditions to which
more than half a million miners are
subjected each day.
The examination of explosives by
the government with view to elm
mating the more dangerous kinds and
to improving and standardizing the
most suitable for mining purposes, is
recommended.
That greater care should be exer-
cised where gas or dust is known to
occur in the mine and that watering
should be more effective are also sug-
gested in the report.

Mrs. Roosevelt served tea on the
southern veranda of the White House
one afternoon recently, and her en-

table, except the fat little porcelain
teapot, was of glass with big initials

cake plates were like those on which
Martha Washington presented re-

SKIRTS MUST BE NARROW.
sheath-Fitting an Absolute Requisite
of Fashion.

All fashionable skirts are narrow.
Many are circular, others gored; but
all are sheath-fitting. Consequently,
they appear scant in many instances,
and this has brought lengthwise skirt
trimming into USE Rows of buttons,
panels of braiding, or shaped panels of
silk or satin, heavily soutached, are
among the forms of line trimming
seen of late. Such trimming is set
up on one or both sides, directly over
the hips, or it is carried up the center
Of the back, or arranged up the front.
Plated skirts which month ago were
said to be entirely out, have most in
dubitably come back again, and some
of the most graceful of the Robes
pierre dresses show skirt portions
entirely in box plaits; but the plaits
are always wide, well spaced, and
stitched almost to the knees. Or these
are ornamented with buttons ar
ranged in rows.-Harper's Bazaar.

Big Projects VIII Overshadow Congress

way discussion as the gathering of the
River and Harbor congress, of which
Representative Ransdell of Louisiana,

But before it comes the Country
Life commission. That will be on De-
cember s, and it will be an adjunct of
the Conservation congress from which
it sprang. That is what has been
facetiously referred to as the Uplift
commission which, at the behest of
President Roosevelt, is to take the
American farmer by the scuff of the
neck and hoist him to a higher level.
The River and Harbor congress is
the body that will produce the most in
teresting situation. The advocates of
the lakes o-the-gulf deep waterway
think the congress should make def
mite Endorsement of that project.
Hitherto the congress has held that it's
object should be merely to create a
sentiment throughout the country
which would warrant congress in pass
ing an annual river and harbor appro-
priation bill of $50,000,000.
There are other projects that
look just as good to their propon-
ents as the akes-to-the-gulf plan,
wherefore it seems probable that that
proposal wiz provoke debate.

Plans for Presidents Hunting Trip

trip to Lake Victoria Nyanza by rail,
stopping off at various points along
the route to make hunting excursions
into the interior.
The real work of the expedition will
not begin until the party reaches the
plateau of Uganda, after crossing
Lake Victoria Nyanza, where abounds
game to be found nowhere else in the
world.
1t is not known exactly how long
the president will remain in this re-
giOn. When the homeward trip begins
the party will strike out along the
head waters of the White Nile river,
following the stream down to Khar-
toum and thence to Cairo.
The presidents party is to consist
of his son, Kermit, who is to be the
official photographer of the eXpedi-
ton, and two naturalists from the Ma
tional museum. No other persons
will be taken from this country. When
he reaches Africa he will employ the
services of natives and guides. A
caravan will be organized for the trip
from the railway terminus in Uganda
to the Nile.
The president promised Bishop
Hartzell that during his coming trip
many of the mission stations as pos
sible and would use his influence in
the interest of the work.

discussing the work of the mission

The general route to be taken by
the president when he reaches Africa
will be from Alexandria by steamer,
probably of the German East African
line, through the Suez canal, across
the Red sea and down the east coast
of Africa to the coast of Mombassa,
the capital of British East Africa. At
Mombassa the outfit of the expedition,

creased. The amount of concentrate
per pound of gain was greater with
the mixed ration, making this slightly
less profitable than the ration con-
tanning cotton-seed meal as the sole
concentrate
6. The effect of shelter varied with
the character of the winter. In two
tests shelter increased the daily gains
and decreased the amount of feed re-
quired per pound of gain. In the
third experiment the pen fed without
shelter made the larger gains and bet
ter use of it's feed. The average of
three years is in favor of shelter. The
selling price in all three experiments
was higher for the steers fed under
shelter, the average difference being
10 cents per hundredweight in favor
of the sheltered steers.
Z. The scrub steers in two expert
ments made practically the same daily
gains at practically the same costs as
the grades. At the beginning of the
toher experiment the scrubs were thin
ner, and they gained more rapidly
and economically.
8. Heavy shrinkage during ship
ment, due to unusual delays, greatly
reduced the possible profits.

tween 1897 (for the pen fed on corn
slower, cotton-seed meal, and corn
and-cob meaD and S442 for the pen
fed on cotton-seed meal and hulls).
10. OF the eight rations fed the fol-
lowing were the most profitable at
prices assumed: "a Cotton-seed meal
and bulls; CD two-thirds cotton-seed
meal, one-third corn-and-cob meal,
with cotton-seed hulls as roughage.
With cotton-seed meal at 500 a ton,
bulls were worth in these experiments
from $4.62 to 1882 per ton. Inferior
sorghum fodder and corn slower were
worth less than hulls.
II. A margin ranging between 0.54
and 0S3 of a cent per pound in the
feed lots for the different lots would
have made the feeding operations
come out even. To find the cores
ponding margin between purchase
price and selling price in New Or
leans, any intending shipper can add
an amount sufficient to cover expenses
of shipping and selling and shrinkage.
~. The scrub dressed out 54.3 per
cent as compared with 572 per cent
for grades fed on similar ration.
IL. The scrubs dressed out 543 per
the best showing was made by the
steers fed on cotton-seed meal bulls,
and the poorest by those fed on corn
slower or on sorghum fodder. The
steers receiving mixed hay ranked
lower in percentage of dressed weight
than those fed on hulls and higher
than those fed on sorghum or corn
slower.

cotton-seed meal, the daily gain per
steer from feeding cotton seed was
1.6S pounds, and from feeding an equal
weight of corn-and-cob meal LII
pounds.
3. To produce / pound increase in
live weight required practically equal
amounts of cotton seed and Of corn
and-cob meal. This shows that under
the conditions Of these experiments a
pound of cotton seed was equally as
valuable as pound Of commanded
meal. Cotton seed is cheaper per
pound, and hence is the more economi-
cal feed.
4. Cotton-seed meal proved more ef-
fective and economical than corn-and-
cob meal when each was fed as an
appetizer in connection with cotton
seed.
5. When, in ration of cotton-seed
meal, one-third of the weight of the
cotton-seed meal was substituted by
an equal weight of corn-and-cob meal,
the daily gains were slightly in
