The old-time idea that jet was only
for the blond is no more.
Fitted net guimpe waists with long
sleeves may be worn with or without
overwaists.
The new styles Of dress have in
duced shoemakers to put forth espe-
cially smart designs in footwear.
The very SWEETEST Of evening gowns
are worn with knickerbockers In
stead of petticoats.
The beauty Of the skirts Of the
Directoire gowns lies in their grace
full lines and the supple quality Of the
cloth.
The latest is a silk pattern for a
blouse, soft, cream colored silk, with
three large punches Of roses to the
pattern.
1t is getting more and more usual
to match the evening ruff to the hat
and the result is that some are dainty
and attractive.
A long Empire stole made up Of
three rows of long ostrich barbs sep
arated by marabou has long tab ends

Combs are hidden as much as pos
sible, but the large-headed hairpins
and the immense barette fill up the

Pure white maline dotted with
some favorite color is especially suit
able for the dainty neck ruches which
every one is wearing.
That form Of princess dress whose
front panel, extending from throat to
skirt hem, falls over pleated side
panels, is a graceful model.
Not only pale tints, but rich warn
ones are used, such as terra Gotta,
German blue and dull red. All the,
tones of heavy gray are popular.
Newer than thesxstock with two
points is that which is highest at the
centre Of the back. This is a grace
full lire and a comfortable one.
1t is pretty and popular fancy to
repeat in the corsage or hair orna-
ment the color that forms the tunic
scarf or other accessory of the gown.
Some new party gowns have their
high girdles fancifully shaped at the
top, which is then outlined with
narrow strip Of black or other dark
colored velvet.

past year. Mrs. Russell Sage gave
more than any other one person with
the single exception Of John D.

are not large they mean much to
some young people. She recently
gave s27OO to pay the rent of the
school building Of the Pascal Insti-
tute in New York City and to cover
the expenses Of free vacation classes
for young children. To Sag Harbor,
L. L., she gave the fair grounds, to be
turned into a park especially for the

Herzl, a Modern Moses.
Leader in The Great Zionist Crusade Back

Palestine would be g Jewish coan4

ington Of the Jews-on Of the most
remarkable and romantic figures Of.
this generation. He died four years
ago, of heart disease. About the time
that our Civil War began, Herzl was
baby in Jewish home in Vienna.
He was well educated, and being by
nature brilliant and magnetic, he be-
came a leader among the Viennese
"intellectuals Until he was thirty
five years old, he did not interest
himself in the troubles OF in the
destiny of the Jews. He was content
to write plays for the viennese thea
tres, and clever quips for the papers
and magazines. saws Herbert N. Cas-
son, writing of "Zionism," in Hamp-
tons Broadway Magazine.
Then came the tragedy of the Drey-
fus case lIerzl went to Paris and
saw with his own eyes how the Jews
were hated and thrust to, one side.
To high-spirited Jew such as Herzl
this was intolerable. He realized
with sudden amazement the humilia-
ton of the race-how they were
everywhere a homeless tribe of inter-
lopers and intruders, living only By
suffrance of foreign nations WHO were
all more or less hostile at heart.
Being a writer, he naturally put
his feelings into BOOK such book
as the Jews had nog seen since the
days Of Isaiah. He wrote it in eight
weeks, and it startled Europe like an
explosion. Since then, it has been
translated into many languages. You
will find it in most of the larger
American libraries, under the title of

"The Jews are a people One Peo-

The German Revolt
Against the Kaiser
Ey SYDNEY BROOKS.

The Kaiser, while man of real
parts and Of exalted nature, has the
defect of being a dilettante who be-
lieves himself omniscient. The Ger
mans are beginning to realize this.
Prince Bulow couple of years ago
declared that the German people pre-
ferred ian Emperor of flesh and
blood and rejoiced in the utterances
of strong personality. 1t was, he
maintained, contrary to the wishes
of the German people" that the
Kaiser should only say what had been
prepared and revised for him by his
ministers. A man Of powerful Volt
ton and initiative, and not mere
figurehead or puppet, was what the
Germans liked for the head of their
State. I think this is very largely
true, but also think it not less true
that the Kaiser has obtruded his per-
sonality in way which his subjects
are fast coming to find insupportable.
He has Hohenzollerned them just
shade too much. They are beginning
10 resent his offhand half-baked
obiter dicta on art, religion, poetry,
the drama, cures for consumption,
aeroplanes, Partisan fashions, science,
clay-modelling, the construction of
yachts, and SO on. What Prince
Henry called "the gospel of his
Majesty's hallowed person" finds
fewer disciples every year. The ma
ton is emerging from the mist of IL
lusions through which it has hitherto
peered at its sovereign. 1t is detect
ing something rather merecricious in
his views and judgments; it is ques-
tioning his capacities; it is question
ing even his industry. His travels
and love of display, his susceptibility
70 flattery, his abrupt whims, his
Rooseveltian outbursts, his favorite
indulgences, his supreme egotism, his
faculty for shutting out whatever is
troublesome-all this is made the
target for kind of criticism that is
absolutely new in German experience.
The people used to believe implicitly
in the Kaiser, and they are now ceas-
ing to do so.-Harper's Weekly.

The Tree Surgeon
and His Work
BY NEWTON FOREST RUSSELL.


The tree doctor is a product of
modern conditions. In pioneer days,
when the country was covered with
original forests, there was no thought
of him; but now, when the entire
country is becoming alarmed over the
rapid disappearance of our trees, he
has become an important parsonage.
The profession, however, is not over
crowded; in fact, there are yet many
sections Of the country where he is
unknown. Not infrequently, the pro-
fessional tree doctor is calleu upon to
treat cases in which the cavity is
large enough to allow one or even
two men to stand upright in it. The
quantity of filing in such a case
sometimes, amounts to several bar
rels. Fortunately, however, the fill
ing used for trees is not as expensive
as the gold and amalgum used by the
dentist for filling teeth. That in the
most frequent use is cement, al
though in extreme cases, where
large hollow is to be filed, rocks,
brickbats, and sand and cement may
be used as bed for the top layer of
filling. 1t is only recently that ten
tons of such filing were required for
the preservation of a giant tree in
New Jersey, and the famous Wash
ington elm in Cambridge, Massachu-
sets, now CONSISTS mainly Of cement.
It is not, however, always neces-
sary to call in a professional tree
surgeon, as most of the ordinary
cases can be successfully treated by
an amateur after a little experience
in properly cleaning out cavities and
the correct mixing of the cement fill
ing. When a tree is already rotten
or diseased special treatment is re-
quired Absolutely all diseased or
decaying tissue must be cut out, no
matter how large a wound is made,
because if any decay is left it would
be as bad practice as if dentist
failed to cleanse thoroughly a de-
cayed tooth before putting in the
filing, and the work would have to
be done over again in order to save
the tree-Harper's Weekly.

MONEY ESSENTIAL.

Money is the first essential for
success of any kind in London just
now. A woman may be as beauti-
full as Marie Stuart or Marie An
tOinette and have the bIuest Of blood

it profits her nothing. On the other
hand, anyone who possesses the all
mighty dollar can, If she goes about

royal set. But it goes without say
ing she must be introduced by some
one in the swim. Otherwise she may
remain for all time outside in the

HOW TO WASH GLOVES.

Among the most useful articles of
a girls toilet are chamois gloves.
Besides adding a great deal to the
appearance they are comfortable, and
one does not have to think always
about keeping them clean, because
with very little effort they can be
washed at minutes notice and look
Just as good as new, that is If one
knows how. There is a great art in
washing gloves, and like everything
else it is easy when one knows all
about it.
Put the gloves on, then rub thor
oughly with white soap, just as if the
hands we're being washed and the
gloves were not there. Rinse them
out in cold water in which there is a
little bluing; this prevents them from
turning yellow.
When they are thoroughly cleaned
rub soap into them before removing
them from the hands. This keeps
them from being fuzzy and looking as
though they were made of flannel
Hang the gloves up to dry in a
cool place in the shade, as the sun
discolors them and heat stiffens the
chamois.
When they are dry put them on
again and press into shape. In this
way chamois gloves will last long
time and look we'll after great
many washings. New York Herald.

In a small city Of Massachusetts
there is a woman who works busily
all day at a novel industry, that of
making candy, through the sale OF
which she is giving her son college
course. Her beginning was in a very
small way. To help herself left a
widow with this one child-she made
dainty candies, put them into att

them to a girls boarding school in
the city. The other boys of the vicin-
ity began very soon to make fun of

MODEL COSTUME FOR BUSINESS.


The model dress for a young wom-
an in an Office would consist of a
plain cloth skirt for winter, tailored
silk or white linen blouse, linen col
lar, silk tie and a leather belt. This
may not sound attractive, but If it is
we'll made and properly worn the girl
who has it on is in style. II the waist
chosen is dark silk, turn over white
cuffs will be suitable and pretty.
The art Of being well dressed in
this kind of model consists in having
all details perfect. 1t is in this way
that girl shows her good form and
taste. Belt and tie must be in ac-
cord, both having some reference to
the color shown in the skirt. Every
detail must be fresh and immaculate
Her hair must be tidy and becomingly
dressed and her hands and nails
should be clean and carefully mani
cured.

The tear helps in this process which
benumbs the brain, for the time be-

Tears are blood, changing color

CAN REFORM THREE
OUT Of FOUR
IOWA CLERGYMAN ASKS STATE
TO GIVE HIM CHARGE OF 20
RELEASED ON PAROLE FOR
REFORMATION PURPOSES.

Des Moines, May 21.-Rev. Robert
B. H. Bell, prominent Des Moines
Episcopal clergyman, wants to take
up the responsibility to society for
the future behavior of 20 men con-
victed for the first time of crime.
Further, he'll give a bond to the state
to make honorable citizens of three
! fourths of them.
| Rev. Bell, openly charging that
members of the state parole board
are hard-hearted and inhumane, he
secured the passage of law permit
ting courts at their discretion to pa
role to the guardianship Of private
citizen any man convicted for first
offense
Now he wants more. He wants the
law amended so as to make it man
datory upon the courts to parole first
offenders. He wanted:
Place the convicted men under the
guardianship of good citizen.
Require him to make good to the
state the costs of his prosecution and
conviction.
Require him to make good, as far
as possible, the wrong he has done.
Rev. Bells theory is that the man
who commits a crime would never do
so again if the proper spirit is arous-
ed within him. He contends that the
humiliation of prison sentence. the
feeling on the part of the convict
that he has paid his debt to society,
the fact that he is turned free with
out a way to live, and other reasons
make the man commit his second
crime.
.It is not such a sin to make one
mistake" he says, ''but it is a great
sin to make the same mistake twice.
Men sent to the penitentiary might
! be saved to be useful citizens, if, be-
fore they were stamped with the stig-
ma of prison life, they have their
manhood appealed to, are given a
helping hand and encouraged to
take a new grip on life"
He practices what he breaches,

MOTORS
UP FOR TRIAL

Everett, May 20.-The four cleo
trio locomotives which the Great
Northern has had built for tunnel
work left for Leavenworth yesterday
morning and will be tested immed-
lately.
The motors were entrained with
three box cars between them to dis
tribute weight when crossing trestles.
Engineers Bukas, Cox and Skinner
left with the motors to superintend
their tryouts, Bukas as general con-
sulting engineer, Cox for the build
ers and Skinner for the railway.
The locomotives are about SO feet
in length and weight 80 tons with
power equal to the ordinary locomo-
tive of 100 or 1870 tons. The speed
is expected to exceed that of regular
steam locomotives.
The electrics are the first of their
pattern to be built in America,
though they have been in use for
some time in Europe in the Simplon
tunnel and elsewhere. They were
built for the railway by the General
Electric company of Schenectady, N.
Y. Each will be controlled by an
engineers and one assistant.

raised in very short time. I think
that there should be universal pro-
test against the club going ahead
with such a piece of monumental
folly as to build on the lots selected
next to the Episcopal parsonage.
Another thing that seems to pse
that the people of this town have
gone wrong on, and which will result
in giving the city a great setback, is
the present attitude on saloons. I
think the council has acted very
wisely in revoking the licenses Of the
saloons which have been convicted of
law-breaking, but it seems to me that
it is too radical a measure to attempt
to put the saloons out of the city
altogether. This is a growing town,
the city needs the revenue that has
been derived from the IL saloons of
the city. This means $4,000 In
revenue and if we do not get 1t from
the saloons we will have to get it
through taxation, which viii undOubt-
eddy cause a great deal of kicking at
the next tax-paying time.
Il think that we should get at
these reforms gradually and not at
tempt to reform the city all at once.
The worst dives have been put out of
business and now let us leave we'll
enough alone.
This is not the only thing l have
to kick upon, but think it plenty for
today and feel better for having ex-
