THE KIMoNo SLEEVE

The kimono sleeve with the un~
broken line over the shoulder still con-
tinues in favor, but, like every other
long continued style, 1t is beginning
to be modified. No longer is 1t always
the perfectly straight expanse from
neck to cuff.
A favorite form of modification is
shirring in two rows the shirring be-
ginning at the collar and extending
halfway down the sleeve. This shir
ring may be edged on either side with
narrow valenciennes insertion. In this
case the same trimming is used on the
collar and on the lower part of the
sleeve. Perhaps the entire long cuff
may be of allover embroidery to match.
or of the valenciennes insertion sewed
together in rows.
Then there is the line of drawnwork
or of coarse hemstitching marking and
definino the kimono line. This is very
effective on rather a heavy waist, and
perhaps in another color-say, in dark
red or oreen on natural-colored pom
gee. 1t is pretty also, however, IN
white on lingerie waists, and especially
in cream or white silk on n silk crepe
or china silk waist. Catstitching is
used in the same way with heavy floss
or mercerized cotton.
Plain lace or embroidery insertion
and hand embroidery. even in such
simple forms as featherstitching, are
another wav of relieving the monot-
onv of the long line. Sometimes even
bands of another color are introduced.

Sometimes. too. in yelled and draped
blouses the yelling is stitched down or
gathered at what we have come to
call the "kimono line" and this part
of tie bodice alone is left unveiled. or
the woke is treated in the same wav.
The under side of sleeves now is
frequently of another shade from the
rest of the blouse-that is to say, in
a bolero effect The whole upper half
of the blouse NAV be black. for In

the sleeves showing tht vertical line
of demarcation. This, of course, en-
phasizes the kimono line and makes
an effective modification.
Braiding NAV also be used on the
sleeve for this purpose. soutache or
rattail braid being extended in dou-
BILE row down the front and back of
the shoulder line. This braid may be
in the same or in a different color
from the rest of the blouse, and it
NAV be straight or waved in outline,
preferably the former.
Here, then, are almost a dozen ways
for the modification of the kimono
sleeve, and never again need YOU COM

This is a tasty dish made of rabbit,
although beef may be used. Put the
rabbit meat in a stone jar and cover
with a solution made of equal parts of
vinegar and water, to which one small
sliced onion, salt, pepper and cloves
have been added. Let the meat re-
main in this for two days, then re-

melted butter, turning it often, and
add gradually some of the liquid in

SPICED BEEF

Boil five pounds of beef (any of the
cheap cuts will do), and when it is
nearly tender let the water boil down
to two cupfuls. Take the meat out
and chop it fine, or run it through the
grinder. To the water in the kettle
add a slice of onion chopped fine, half
a teaspoon each of salt, cloves, all
spice and a dash of cinnamon and
pepper, stir in a tablespoon of flour
and boil until the mixture is thick.
Then mix it we'll into the beef and
press the beef into an earthen mold,
cover with a plate weighted down to
press into shape. Let it remain until
the beef is cold wnen it may be sliced
and served.

TO PRESERVE GOOSE MEAT

Render the goose fat, and when the
fat is clean put the legs and breasts
of the goose, which have been salted,
into the hot fat and boil them until
they are tender and Drowned. When
done put the meat in a crock and pour
the clear hot fat over it. Cover and
keep in a cool, dry place. The meat
will keep for months. For use heat
it in the frying pan, drain off the fat

Bishop Keane of Wyoming. In a mixed

have little, and later none. That is
why we aim to do little more for

schools do. We have fault to find
with them because of a defect which
we count essential. It is our point of
view. We magnify the Importance of
Christian faith and we believe that in
formation of character and for the

quite essential.

tome of Irish history, they are equally
valuable on account of the music to
which they are sung. Every student
of Moore knows that he wrote his
verses to fit the music of his country.
That music was fast decaying when
the poet came to the rescue and saved
it from oblivion and death. For this
great service alone Ireland is Moore's
debtor, and always must be. True.
the poet did not sing his songs in his
native tongue, but that was but an
other of the cruel ironies of the fate
that rules Ireland's destinies. Another
of fate's ironies is the death and burial
of Tom Moore in another land. AS D.
F. Mccarthy pathetically puts it: F..
There's grave that rises DER thy sward,
Where. Moore lies sleeping from his
land affair."

green grave in an English churchyard

THE PAYNE TARIFF
Places Burden on the Poor for the
Benefit Of the Rich.

A writer in the Commoner brings out
a few examples to show how the tariff
law, which Taft says is the best ever,
operates to rob the poor for the bene-
fit of the wealthy.
''The man who imports $1,000 worth
of diamonds pays tax of but 800
10 per cent. If he imported a thou
sand shirts worth a dollar each he
would have to leave at the customs
house and tack on to his selling prices
1901. 60-60.16 per cent.
If he decided that he would bring
in $1,000 worth of champagne, one Of
the items upon which there is large
increase, the tax levied by the tariff
is $500. If he brought in $1,000 worth
of blankets he would have to pay a
tariff tax of s1,645.42.
If he brought in $1,000 worth of
paintings and statuary all he would
have to pay as customs duties would
be 5000; but if it were sugar he would
pay $7SS.70 tax on thousand dollars
worth.
If he brought in $1,000 worth. of
JeWelry he would have to pay 5000
tariff tax, but if he brought in $1,000
worth of wool dress goods he would
pay $105O.92 tariff.
If he imported $4,000 automobile
the tariff would relieve him of $2,25o.
If it were $4,000 worth of yarns the
tariff tax would be $500.
If the importation were $4,000 worth
of furs the tariff tax would be s1,e5O
but If it were $4,000 worth of cloth
ing the tax would be s4,33o.
If some New York millionaire brings
in 100000 ocean going yacht the
tariff would be $4,000, but if the i'm

JOSEPH DEVLIN, M. P.
Writes in Reply to the Structures Of
Lord Dunraven.

In letter to the Dublin Freeman in
reply to the criticism of the Irish par
ty by Lord Dunraven, Mr.. Joseph Dew
lin says in part:
The assertion that Ireland has, for
the last five years. been losing ground
In all directions is not only untrue, but
it Is freakish. There Is not the least
chance of anybody believing 1t, and 1
dismiss it at once as merely piece
of rich mans rant. And, as for the
rest Of his letter. who is Lord Dun
raven that the Irish nation should lis
ten to him? He Is sort OF political
amphibian, with one foot in Limerick,
and the other in London. He denounces
the over-taxation Of ireland, and sup
ports the Unionist party which Of
ficially denies the existence of such a
thing as the over-taxation of Irelant.
He is a friend Of the Irish farmer when
it comes to death duties, and a fri .nd
of the policy which has swindled the
Irish farmer to the tune of seven and
a half years purchase in the transfer
Of the land. He is an ex-under secre-
tary In Tory ministry, and he writes
as if he had been out with the Fem
fans. He, instructs Nationalist Ire
land in Nationalism, and he votes
against Home Rule bills when they
reach the House OF Lords. He deliv-
ers speeches in favor of Industrial
Development in Ireland, but he will not
fight for an Irish Parliament, with pow
er to protect Irish manufactures.
And yet Lord Dunraven Is a person
Of Importance. He Is the lord of many
mansions, and of one vote. How he got
into the English House Of Lords l con-
TESS do not know. Probably, as in
the case Of most Of his colleagues, the
less said about it the better. But, at
all events, he is there. He has vote,
with which he can kill Lloyd Georges
Budget, as he helped to kill Gladstone's
home rule bill. And he is sure to use
that vote in the interests Of his class,
his party, and his privileges. When he
tramps out of the Lansdowne lobby he
will have helped to save the nation
from destruction. If he incidentally
helps to save his considerable property
from the death duties, that will be
merely protest against the over-tax-
alton of Ireland. Under an Irish Par
liament-to the grant Of which they
are all opposed-he and his class would
be falling over one another in their
eagerness to help to pay for old age
pensions. Taxation would be a posi-
tive delight to them.
1t seems to me that we have had
something too much of this class clap
trap, and these humbug heroics. Lord
Dunraven will find himself in his right
place in the rabbIe Of English earls,

IN PRAISE OF MOORE
An Essay. From a Juvenile in the
Weekly Freeman.

The following essay, on 1.-THE Great
est Irishman," appears in the juvenile
columns of the Dublin Weekly Free
man:
Ireland has given birth to such a
host of men whose claims to greatness
are so many and manifold that it APP
pears almost impossible, nay, invidi-
Gus, to say who is her greatest man.
But as everybody has his own notions
of what constitutes true greatness, so,
also, must everybody discern in a par
ticular parsonage the qualities that
appeal to his own peculiar ideas of it.
If st. Patrick had been an Irishman
I would unhesitatingly crown him Ire
lands greatest man; but since the
saint Is a foreigner, I will place Tom
Moore on the highest pedestal of the
land. :.

Now, what has Moore done for Ire

for special renown? To answer such

was formed. to extend or expand out
ward, or to add to it's area, but rather
was she to soar upward. Moore seemed
to understand this geographical pecu-
liarity of our land. He strove; by gen.
ius and patriotism, to elevate her, and
to win for her undying, fame and world
wide recognition - The beauty of
Moore's poetry; is unexcelled in its
purity and depth of feeling. 1t is true

as highly as the stars of both sexes

more remarkable, Moore's songs are

brought by st. Mark the Evangelist
to Alexandria, where it developed rap
idly and spread into Lydia and Ethi-
opia. At about the same period Ro-
man soldiers and merchants carried
the gospel to Carthage which became
the center of a great Christian region.

however, never fully forsook her, and
during this long period missions were
to be found scattered through the
country, especially at trading posts.
But the work which was to mark the
evanselization of Africa began in the
late nineteenth century and originat-
ed in America.
In 1S41, three Americans, Father
Barron, vicar general to Bishop Ken

Kelley of New York, and Mr.. David
Pindar sailed from Baltimore to es-
tablish mission for liberated slaves
on the shores Of West Africa. Father
Barron was consecrated Bishop of
Guinea "a place referred to often as
the white mans grave) and was rein
forced by additional priests. The ia
tai climate soon carried all off, and
the mission was about to be aban-
doned when the Lyons Society for
African Missions came to the rescue
and saved the work.

When President Taft was making his
campaign for the presidency the Re-
publican campaign managers set afloat
story to the effect that Mr.. Taft
was decidedly hostile to Speaker Can
non and the latter's methods of rum
ming Congress. The ruse worked per-
fectly. 1t prevented anti-Cannon vot-
ers from deserving the Republican
ticket.
That there was no truth to the story
became evident soon after March 4,
when the president rescued Cannon and
the old rules from defeat at the hands

If Speaker Cannon retires it will be
