Lingerie Blouse,

Almost any OF the sheer lingerie
blouses are suitable for wear with the
heavy linen skirts, but simple yet very
daintIly made models in fine cotton
marquisette trimmed only In fine tuck
ing and made with hemstitched turn
down collars and sleeves ending a little
below the elbow are meeting with much
success.
Some Of these little bIouses have mar
row hens Of colored marquisette, but
while the effect is charming the all
white blouse presents fewer Iaunder-
ing difficulties and will look well longer
than the one with touches Of color.

PITY THE POOR WORM.

Let him turn.
Give him room.
Don't step on him.
He is a true friend.
The farmer needs him.
He aerates the soil variously.
His borrowings make soils po-
rous.
Soil is benefited by passing
through his body.
Darwin said fifteen tons of soil
to the acre passed annually
through the bodies Of worms.
Worms breathe oxygen and
exhale carbon dioxide, aiding
materially in producing soluble
salts OF iron in the soil when
other agencies fail.

NEWS NOTES OF
FASHION WORLD
Laees Continue to Be Used with
Great Lavishment.

The midsummer frocks OF hlmy ma
terials are distinguished for the variety
and abundance OF the trimming used in
their adornment Lace, fringe, bits Of
ribbon and velvet, beads, embroidery,
hand-run tucks, tulle and plaitings Of
net material are seen on one frock.
The simple gown is the prettiest and
shows TO good advantage by reason of
the Over-trimming Of so many other
frocks.
One Of the fads Of the minute in trim
ming summer dresses is the use OF
shadow laces on the little colored wash
frocks, and outlining the designs in the
lace with silk the color Of the frock-
A trade magazine declares this has
been a record breaking season for the
use Of laces Of all sorts and the opin-
ion prevails that the rage will last
through still another season.
1t is a poor old frock these days that
doesn't have a bit of hand work on it.
New hosiery comes in the prettiest of
pastel shades and the fastidious woman
finds no difficulty in matching even the
most unusual shade OF her frOck.
FOR simple evening dresses ana TOT al
ternoon goTWns the silk pOplins with deep
satin borders are among the prettiest
materials Of the season. Poplin has the
advantage Of shedding dust and always
looking fresh and dainty. The satin bor-
ders add just the right bit Of brilliant
color which is wanting in the dull finish
Of the poplin.
The almost total disappearance Of the
good old val laces which in other years
were the favorites for thin summer dress
es is causing comment and some displeas-
ure among makers Of frocks and those
who wear them, as we'll. Val laces are OF
so many qualities and styles that they
nit in with almost any design. The pop
ular laces of the hour are not so easily
handled.
Stripes are the favorites in all sum
mer materials.
Laces which are being used on all man
ner of materials are always seen in COM
binations. Irish laces are used with some
of the simple shadow effects and filet
is seen in combination with Cluny.

Evil Work in Chicago.

Holmes was hanged in Philadelphia
May 7, 1896, for the murder Of Benja-
min F. Pitzel, and his three children
in Toronto, Ontario, for the insurance
on their lives. He had been arrested
in Boston, Nov II, 1894, and from that
time until his execution the newspap-
ers will filled with details of his al
legged crimes No fewer than forty
seven murders were laid at his door
finally, but there was no proof, legally
conclusive, that Holmes was guilty
OF any of them, though it was shown
that he had been fOrger, bigamist
incendiary and swindler. 1t seems to
be certain, however, that at one time
ne confessed to twelve murders. Some
of them were said to have been ccin-
mitted in his house, known as Holmes
Castle" in Englewood, Chicago. These
included the four Pitzels, George w.
Thomas, Emily c. Cigrand, Robert E.
Ph clips, Mrs Julia l.. Conner, Pearl
Connor, Emily Van Tassel and Minnie

Live With Wife or Lose Vote.

PHILADELPHIA, April 3.-ThrougI
ruling made by the county commis-
sioners of registration approximately
| 900 men, all legal voters, will be de-
prived of their votes, because they are
separated from their wives.
The commissioners in one case ruled
that mans residence is the place OF
| domicile of his wife, if he is married,
and that it is from her abode that he
must register
If this ruling is upheld by the courts
it will have the effect of forcing men
to go back to their wives from whom
they are separated or lose their votes
1t has been estimated that there are
about 900 mismated couples in Phila-
delphia, and among the men are many
prominent politicians.
The case which brought about the
ruling was that of William F. Rorke,
an attorney Mr. Rorke is now seDara-
ted from his wife, who lives with their
daughter in Germantown. but he wish
ed to vote from a house on North Sc

official action of the council that will
result in clean town.
Moscow is a mighty good place to

places in this city can be cleaned with
no more than few days work on the
part of the people who are responsible,
rubbish and filth to accumulate On
the part of no one person will it be
a great or particular eXertion. But the
total effect will be great, and splendid.

LONDON, April 3..-People are still
wondering why Earl Darlington took
the title of Marquis of Lincolnshire, .
seeing that his lordship never takes
airy part in the life of that county,
and does not even reside there. But
the fact is that his lordship is the
owner of small estate. the parish
of HumbersOne. in Lincolnshire, and
OIL the 2700 acres which he owns has
carried out some quite remarkable ex-
periments in small holdings.
Lord Lincolnshires experiments are
well worthy of being better known,
for Thunderstorm is, perhops, the only
parish in England where everyone is
contented, and where there arc no
poor.
Ten years ago Lord Darlington made
a return of the estate, and found that
in some that year no less than 112
for land were made, every
one of the applicants being possessed
of capital ranging from $50 to $500
which they had obtained by cultivating

BEWARE OF The
ENGLISH SPARROW
By o. M. OSBORNE,
(From Idaho Country Life)

The English sparrow, the worst pest
in the 6ird-kingdorl, is now making its
first appearance in many sections Of
Idaho. This bird bears the same re-
lation to the bird Kingdom that mice
and rats do to domestic animals. It's
rot only seenstasf 7annoytr through
its perpetual unn1usicA chirp, but it
distributes filth on the sidewalks, roofs
Of dwellings and farm machinery; dis
tributes mites among domestic fowls ;
builds nests in cave troughs and is
credited with spreading avian tuber-
culosis.
Not only these faults has the spar
row but it is responsible for the ex-
termination of many of the the bene-
fetal birds in some sections. This it
accomplished by either destroying the
eggs or by constantly fighting them
away from their nesting places. In
many cities the martins, orioles. and
swallows, which are everywhere re-
cognized as being great insect des-
troyers, once existed in large numbers.
They have now been supplanted by
the English sparrow.
The sparrow's diet in the city con-
sists of horse manure and garbage
from the street In the country it con-
sists of the farmers crops.
If the rapidity of the sparrow.s in.
crease in other states can be taken as.
a CRITERION for estimating the mum
bers- that will soon infest Idaho it is
safe to say that they will exist in mil
lions within the next five years., 3
lie. us then take warning and at
once destroy those that we now have.
The best methods of destroying
them when they first make their ap-
pearance is by means of shotgun
loaded with pigeon shot. watching for
their roosting places and killing them
at night, and by robbing all of their
nests. Poison is often resorted to but
this is dangerous to other animals
One experiment station recommends
A certain trap that catches forty or
fifty birds at time. Whatever the
method employed one must be per-
,istent if he succeeds in holding this
oest in check.
