DRESS OF ENGLISHWoMEN.
Ladies Have Shapeless Forms and
Raw Beef Compilations.

From Scrfbner's Magazine.
The first days in the streets of London
bring SO many impressions that il is as
confusing to remember them as to recall,
in their proper order, the changes of
kaleidoscope. 1t is apparent that the men
are heavier here than with us, apparent,
too. that this is a land of men, ruled by
men. obedient to the ways and comforts
and prejudices of men. not women. Here
the male bird has the brilliant plumage.
The best of them. as one sees them in
Picadilly, in Bond street, in St James
street. in the clubs, in the park of Sun
day after church, are fine-looking fellows
we'll set up and scrupulously we'll groom
ed and turned out But the women.
What hats, what clothes. what shoes.
what colOrs. what amorphous figures,
One hears of English economics; evident
ly they begin with the dressmakers bill
Who permits that nice-looking girl to
wear q white flannel skirt, a purple Jacket
and a fur hat with a bunch of small
feathers sticking out of ii at right angles,
Here is another with an embroidered lin
en- coat and bit of ermine fur and a
straw hat with flowers on it, The gro
tesQue costumes OF the women would
make one stop TO stare were il not that
they are SO common one ceases at last to
notice them. But their taste in dress is
nothing new. When Queen victoria came
to the throne their tasteless vagaries of
custom were noticeable. A well dressed
lady Is described as wearing, in those
days. "a blue satin robe, black violet
mantlet lined with blue satin and trimmed
with black lace. and an emerald green
hat trimmed with blonde and roses, as
we'll as ribbon and feathers
The compilations of the English have
often been exploited for our benefit. The
damp climate and the exercises out of
doors produce the red, they say But on
examination II proves to be not the red
OF thu rose, but the red of raw beef and
often streaky and ibrous at that. The
features are large and the face high-col-
ored. but II Is not 2 delicate pink 1t is
coarse RED. At distance, the effect is
charming. bright, refreshing. but close to,

NO GRAIN INSPECTION
National Board of Trade Op-
poses Federal Law.
STATES RIGHTS INVOKED
Doubt Expressed Of Authority Of
United States.
PAY RESPECTS TO PRESIDENT
Convention Members Call at the
White House in a Body-An-
nual Banquet Tonight.
PAY RESPECTS TO PRESIDENT

The National Board Of Trade devoted its
morning session to the passage of num-
Der of resolutions touching various phases
of American business life. President La
lame read a letter from the Italian am
bassador thanking the National Board of
Trade for the action it had taken in rails
ing the funds for the earthquake suffer-
ers, and this letter was embodied in the
minutes.
There was little breeze in the nature
of states rights protest in the resolu-
tions brought in on the subject of federal
grain inspection. There is a bill now pend
ing in Congress for uniform federal in
spection, and this is opposed by many
of the elevator men and other local in
terests. The whole subject is a broad one,
and the Department of Agriculture favorS
the enactment of such law on the
ground that grain enters largely into in
terstate commerce and that there is such
a wide variation In the rules and prac-
tees of inspection that it is hard for
purchaser in one end of the country to
make sure what he is getting when he
buys grain that has been graded some
where else.
On Record as Opposed.
The resolution stated, however, that
there was grave doubt as to the au-
thority Of the United States to pass such
a law, owing to it's trenching on the
duties of the several states, and on this
account the board of trade went on rec
ord as opposing such federal law.
The most important action taken by
the board at the morning session was
the passage of a resolution favoring the
establishment of department of public
works to have charge of all government
construction, such as the Panama canal
and waterway improvement The board
also favored the appropriation of not
less than $50,000,00O annually for the
Improvement of rivers and harbors, this
having been the amount named by the
rivers and harbOrs congress recently as
necessary to clean up the projected river
and harbor improvements in the next
ten years
There was a long discussion over the
resolution, many of the members wanting
to change it's wording to make it call
merely for IAN adequate appropriation"
1t was finally passed, however, in it's
original form.
The convention then took up the subject
of the American merchant marine
Call at White House.
After the noon adjournment the conven-
ton reassembled at o'clock, and the
members in a body went to the White
House, where they called on President
Roosevelt.
This evening there will be the annual
banquet of the board of trade at the
Willard. There will be a number of prom
inent speakers, among them John Barrett,
director of the bureau of American re-
publics; Sir Charles Ross Of Canada, on
Canada and the United States; Senior
Quesada, minister from Cuba who will
talk on Cuba and the United States:
Francis b. Loomis, commissioner general
Of the United States to the Toxic expo

Winter Walks in London
From the london Spectator

Inc best walk is in the park. The en-
bankment would be as good If the tram
ways would allow il the useless .uuiet
which once set it apart among all Lon
don highways. The embankment has the
right breadth and length of view whicn
should place distance about the walker
as IT he walked valley or the flank of
hill. But the tramways nterrupt ana

pedestrians hope when looking for a

Solving a Cambridge Mystery.
From the Boston Record

From the Boston Record.
A house was recently torn down in
Cambridge which was once a hotel. In
those days the police suspected that wet
stuff was being sold there quite extensive
ly. Whenever a raid was made not a
drink could be found. One day when the
men were well upon the work of demol-
fishing the building a Cambridge police
officer who had been active in making
those raids received telephone call from
the contractor who had the work i'm
charge. inviting him to pay the building a
visit. The policeman went down and was
most chagrined to thin X that he had
never thought of looking for 1t in such a
simple hiding place. Every stair could
be opened, disclosing nice large hiding
place.

Low Water in Mammoth Cave.
rom Harper's Weekly

rom tarperS Weekly.
The remarkable drouth which has pre
vailed over a large area of our country
during the late summer and fall has been
felt severely In Kentucky. For ninety
days the central portion Of that state was
without the slightest trace of rainfall.
and the protracted dry spell even affected
the underground river in Mammoth cave
for at places in Echo river. where there
has always been ten or fifteen feet of
water, the channel became perfectly dry.
Generally the surface of the water ana
the roof Of the cavern are so near to each
other that the stream can be navigated
for only short distance. but now the
skiffs can travel for miles. and many
beautiful new inlets and grottoes have
been discovered. This subterranean river,
