blouses for common use. All these are closed in front, and the correct finish is a starched linen collar. A pleat in the middle of the back, side pleat on each side of the stud band, sleeves set plain into. wide armhole and then gathered into straight wristband and a narrow adjustable belt are other smart details.
 Smart French women long ago dis carded pink and blue ribbons in their underwear for either white or black. The last named may have rather a startling sound. but with the trans parent dress corsage 1t seems only a part of its decoration. Velvet ribbon, not satin, is used for this purpose; baby ribbon supplies the running strings, while the decorative bows are of wider width-from one to two inches.

 The upper part of the model shown Is Of Paisley patterned foulard, while the lower is black satin; 1t is set to the foulard without any fitness, and has three rows of Russia braid as trimming. The sleeves have cuffs and undersleeves of the satin. both finished with braid.

Commenting upon Mr.. LoCke's pro-
posed constitutional amendment pro-
Viding for annual sessions of the leg
islature, one session to be devoted
to the introduction and digestion of
bills by the various committees and
the next to their consideration and
passage, the Beaumont Enterprise
says
"Mr. Lockes plan will work two
ways. First, it will put damper on
the enthusiasm of the fussy individ-
ual who seeks legislative honor for
no other purpose than to exploit a
fad or propose legislation IN which he
has an interest. Second, it will
give the people a chance to become
acquainted with the provisions of ev-
cry bill introduced and afford them
an opportunity to protest against the
enactment of such measures as they

LIVE STOCK INSPECTION.

That the office of State live stock
inspector will be abolished seems to
be certain. Representative elect
Raoul Sere, of the Twelfth Ward of
Orleans parish, will introduce a bill
to repeal the creative act. There
is really no inspection" said Mr..
Sere. "and the fees collected by
this inspector amounted in the past
four years to about 100000, two
thirds of which was turned over to
the Charity Hospital. If the Char
ny Hospital needs money we should
increase the appropriation from the
general fund, and relieve the cattle
industry Of this special tax for which
those that pay get no genuine SER
vice, Furthermore, I understand the
United States government will, at
the request of live stock interests,
send an inspector here, who will
make an ante norton inspection
without any cost to the taxpayers, an
inspection that will be one in fact.
1t will save not only this special
tar, but will prevent the slaughter
ing of cattle which are not in fit
condition to be used as food, and
country shippers will be able to real
ice something for that grade of cat
tie because the inspector will pre-
vent their slaughter. AS it is now
al cattle are slaughtered, and the
City Board of Health makes a post
mortem examination. 1t is then that
the poor cattle are condemned, with
the result that the shipper sustains
q total loss"

Hall Curiously enough, this objec-
ton is made by a newspaper that
opposed Judge Hall and his propos-
cd reforms. 1t is enough to say
that the amendment cannot take eff
feet before it is adopted, and the
coming session of the legislature will
give the solicitous critic plenty of
reform.
A third is that there is no recall
provided for a member Of the legis-
laturr who refuses to carry out the
wishes of his constituents regarding
bills which they may condemn. If
the people are given an opportunity
to acquaint themselves with the pend
ing bills, we predict there will be lit
tie need for any recalling. 1t should
be remembered that the member will
live among his constituency eleven
months out of every twelve.
Mr.. Locke's plan is simple, FEAST
bic and inexpensive Once it is in
oDeration, bills that will not stand
the glare of publicity will not even
be introduced. Neither will freak
Or "joke" bills, because no member
will care to pose before the entire
state as a fool for a whole year. Nei-
Their will bills dealing with pri-
vate or trivial matters. The Ameri-
can-Press believes that four years of
the Locke plan will cut down the
number of bills introduced at least
one-half, and result in such care in
the framing of important measures
that do pass, as to relieve the courts
Of much unnecessary litigation.

breaking up Of the hardpan and puts
it in such condition that the rootlets
of plants can pierce to greater
depth. 1t also furnished reservoirs
of moisture from which vegetation
can draw during especially dry per-
iods.
One authority declares that fruit
tree will often flourish with trebled
luxuriance and rapidly when planted
in "dynamite-dug hole" The food
elements of the soil are rendered
more easily accessible to the myriad
little filaments; the latent fertility
of the land is opened; and a finer
crop is the result.
There appears to be little testimo-
ny as to the comparative cost Of dy-
namfting and blowing. 1t may be in
ferred, however, that the former, if
intelligently applied, would be the
cheaper and it would seem also to
be more expeditions.
1t is not expected that dynamite
will ever supplant patient and Or
derby methods of cultivation. Certain
ly, it can never take the place of
careful study and development of
the soil. For certain conditions and
problems, however, it has evidently
Justified itself through widespread
and thoroughgoing experiments.

STREAMING THE LUNGS.

Medical Magazine:
Most Of the physical culture fad
dists have a great deal to say about
breathing exercises, as though there
was nothing more important in life
than to enlarge ones lungs. The
only sensible way to enlarge the
lungs is to stand and sit erect and
take a reasonable amount of suit,
able exercise every day in the fresh
air. A man should never use all of
his lung power about his ordinary
work. The normal individual does
not use much more than half Of his
lung capacity; there remain in the
lower lungs thousands of little air
cells which stay practically closed in
ordinary breathing; when man is
called upon to run a long distance,
he soon finds himself in distress,
with a "stitch in his side This
slight pain is caused by the effort
made by the air to get into these
closed cells; when these cells be-
come active and take up the extra
air needed, the distress ceases, and
we say the man "gets his second
wind." Those who are continually
trying to expand the lungs have no
second wind. All the air cells are in
use all the time, and the owner of
such lungs reaches his limit at the
start. Proper work, suited to the
age and strength of a person, will
give endurance, which is of far more
Importance than size,

While Mr.. LOckes proposal has

One We have heard mentioned is
that we have too many sessions of

AS an aid to agriculture, dynamite
seems to be coming into wider and

PROLOGUE OF THE STORY.


Thelismer Thornton, locally known
as Duke Of Canibas," for nfty years
boss Of his district, plans to retire and
send his grandson, Harlan, to the leg
islature as his successor. The reform
ers in his district, who are called
"Ramrodders," endeavor to defeat
Harlan for the nomination. They are
! led by Ivus Niles, Evangelist Dudley
and others. Harlan is unwilling to be
a candidate, but his grandfather in
sists. Harlan and Miss Glare Kava-
nagh are very much interested in each
other, and Thornton and Clare's Ia
Their try to break up this intimacy.
The reformers are in control Of the
caucus, but Thornton's followers STAN
pede them by starting forest fire and
during their absence nominate Harlan
for the legislature. Harlan helps sub
due the fire, learns Of his nomination
and tells his grandfather that he will
decline 1t because 1t was dishonesty
procured.
However, the duke gets him to run
for the Office, settles with farmers who
lost by the forest fire and practically
assumes management Of the whole
state campaign. Harlan meets Clare,
who, gowned and gloved, looks more
mature. Thornton and Harlan pay a
secret visit to Ex-Governor Weymouth
and get him to accept the nomination
for governor In order to beat Arba
Spinney. Harlan meets pretty Made
leine Presson. Weymouth startles
Thornton and other leaders by insist
ing upon writing his own platform
and upon rigid enforcement of the
prohibitory law. They refuse to NOM
mate him. Harlan deserts his grand
father and supports Weymouth, who
learns that Spinney has been bribed
to retire by Thornton, Presson and
others. Weymouth compels them to
nominate him, and Harlan shares in
his victory. Weymouth declares he
Will enforce the prohibitory law. but
he rebuffs the "Ramrodders." He makes
Harlan his chief Of staff for the cam
paign. Clare reveals her love for Har-
Ian, then goes away to be educated.
Weymouth compels his party leaders
to more actively support him. and
Madeleine Presson tells Harlan he's
foolish to have such high political
ideals. Weymouth is elected. Harlan
proposes marriage to Madeleine, but
gets no reply.

J~ HE Hon. Arba Spfnney was In
the lobby as usual that win
S9S ter. The story of his knav-
cry at the state convention
had been smothered in the interests Of
the party. He reappeared among men
with as much assurance as ever. He
even approached Harlan Thornton to
solicit his support Of one bill. 1t was
measure to grant state subsidy,
through exemption Of taxation, to as
sist a railroad to extend its lines into
the timberland country.
Harlan, checked him promptly. II
don't propose to discuss that question
or any other with you, Mr.. Spinney."

the value of half your lands" insisted
the lobbyist. Its business for you,
and it's business for us, and there's no
reason why you shouldn't talk bust
ness. Is there?"
