THE coRsAGE BOUQUET.

A report from Paris announces that
che passion for unbroken line,sj WON
ems garmenting has gone TO such ex'
tent that during the coming season
not even so much as bouquet Will
be permitted to mar the symmetrical
simplicity of the gown She that
would have a show of flowers about
her must content herself with such as
embroidery about the waist-llne can
simulate. Suggestion adds that slen-
der girls may weave whole garlands
OF silken blooms about them, but
those OF plumpness must be content
with delicate spray. Should this
edict hold sway for any considerable
period. there will pass away from ro'
nance and from dramas one OF the
most useful as well as beautiful OF
their Joint properties. Hardly any
thing OF maiden's dress has been 30
often remembered by lovers and de-
scribed by novelists and poets as the
corsage bouquet. In days OF old,
when real flowers were worn, the bou'
quet was generally a gift Of the ador'
ing one. If the lady wore IT, all was
well. II she did not, either the un'
scrupulous duenna had stolen 1t or
the end OF sweet love was at hand
Even when artificial bouquets came IN
there was a chance for love to use II
as a token and for beauty to wear II
as a sign. 1t was something about
feminine dress man could recognize
at sight

There have been royal Journalists
as we'll as royal authors. George III
contributed seven articles to the An.
nails OF Agriculture, a monthly maga.
zine, edited by Arthur Young. These
were published under the pseudonym
of Ralph Robinson, and. according to
one of his biographers, display a
most profound knowledge OF agrlcul.
ture" Louis XVIII was a journalist
of quite another type, says the London
Chronicle. For some years after his
accession to the throne he was in the
habit OF sending anonymous political
articles to various Paris dailies. Some
of the opinions expressed in these
were so advanced that the king had
the pleasure OF seeing them vetoed by
his own censor.

Engineers Not Surprised.

The great earth slides into the Culebra
cut of the Panama canal referred to In
mail advices from the isthmusshave been
going on for some time, and the canal en-
gineers have not been taken by surprise
by their continuance. In fact. it has been
officially stated by the canal commission
that these readjustments of the earth In
the famous cut are rather welcome at
present, as insuring the Panama canal
against serious obstruction in the future.
The engineers have mapped out con-
siderable portion of the slopes of the cut
which, it is believed, will sooner or later
slide downward into the ditch. 1t was
with view to facilitating this movement
that the engineers some months ago be-
gan to attack the slopes themselves by a
system of terraces, the idea, being to give
the sides of the cut much more gentle
gradient than was at first projected, the
character of the soil uncovered by the
steam shovels having made it plain that
the sides of the cut would not stand the
original steep slope.
1t is even anticipated that some such
earth movements will continue on small
scale even after the water is turned into
the canal But the admission of water is
expected to soon equalZe these strains,
and it Is calculated that by steam dredges
the 'slips' can be even more cheaply and
speedily removed than at present, so that
there will be an unobStructed waterway
when the canal gates are thrown open

Roosevelt's Candidacy.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Mr.. Roosevelt not only puts himself in
line with the most advanced progressives.
He takes the lead. We progressives'' is
the term he uses. and with passing COM
,pliment to Senator La Toilette and COM
mendation of the example of Wisconsin,
he lifts the banner and virtually assumes
command. There is no defense of the
Taft policies or the Taft administration;
no word of comfort for the man he Sc
lected four years ago to succeed him as
President. 1t is difficult to see how Mr..
Roosevelt, after this deliverance. can
support Mr.. Taft for the nomination; for
some of the principles he advocates are
Numerically opposed to the principles
for which Mr.. Taft stands, and he vir-
tually attacks the. policies which have
distinguished the present administration.
He goes outside party lines. making di-
rect appeal to the progressive sentiment
of the nation. Though he processes to
speak merely as one holding a position
Of leadership in thought and action Mr..
Roosevelt has too much of platform for
q man who Is not a candidate.

Fear of More Slides.
The second slide was on the west side
of the cut on the side of the great slide
of two years ago. Canal workers say it

mately 10000 cubic yards having al

Added alarm was caused here several

was a week in transmission, when a
leading Panama newspaper printed a re-
port that the bottom of the canal had
bulged because of the pressure of the
slides on the earth walls. Official denials
