BATTLE OF THE FASHIONS.
Drift Toward the Costumes Worn by
Bulgars and Serbs.

From the Detroit NewS-Tr1bune.
Wars which have sentimental as well
as a sordid interest also have a marked
effect upon the fashion of the time. AS

When Italy was making her first sue
cessful struggle for the union of her dis

foreign rule, the people of the United
States were intensely interested. Carl
baldi, although almost invariably beaten

was a popular hero to whom the army of
France was supposed to play second nd
die during the war with Austria. Carl
baldi had lived in this country during his
first days of exile. and for time was
engaged in the prosaic art OF making soap
on Staten Island During that time there
was much excitement over the discovery
of gold in California and Australia.
Miners were returning through the port
of New York clad in picturesque cos
tunes. The patriot in exile was quite
captivated with the sight of these hardy
gold diggers. They usually wore high
boots. brown trousers. flaming red flannel

but ii is depressing thought for con-
sumers of buckwheat cakes.
The maple sugar situation, however, is
unavoidable Nature is to blame for the
short season. When nature puts plenty of
snow on the ground. drives the frost deep
into the earth and gives warm days and
cool nights, the maple sugar season is
long and the crop is large, because the
flow of sap up the trees is slow and the
drip into the sap bucket is constant. But
this year everything works 10 give us A
short season-little snow, frost not deep
and warm nights.
The public, however, should not grun-

about by natural laws. No trust Is To
blame and no legislation has made the
crop short. Instead. In the maple sugar
crop we see very apt illustration OF the

AWKWARD BERLIN SUBWAY.
Has Not Even Boosted Speed to
Recommend It.

From The Boston Transcript.
Berlin has some right to complain that
1t has little luck with its electric railway.
With the slow-going official name of the
neutrality-suspicious." tthe over
and underground railway, it has still
more slow-going station names. Five syl-
tables is the general rule, and there are
some of seven and more. AS for the
trains. they run just fast enough to COM
pei most of the foreign visitors to ask
why it is sometimes called the ''Schnell-
bahn''-the fast railway. Perhaps the
speed of the trains is not so much at
fault as the way they spend their min
utes 1avishly in every station that they
pass through There are no lifts. ana
Berlin has not yet learned the exhilara-
ton of the escalator; but. on the other
hand, there are fewer stairs and dusty.
gusty passages than i'm the Paris Metro.
Nevertheless, the passenger has generally
done enough when he reaches the plat
form to catch his train TO expect the
train. or the regulations to govern 1t. To
do something in return to save either MS
time or his eXertons.
AS rule. the train halts long enough
for even the slowest to choose the most
comfortable seat for himself. This. how
ever. is not for the purpose of speed. No
wonder. therefore. as many other details
are attended to in the same easy-golng
way, that there should be frequent COLI
plants. These are perhaps rather timid
in nature, for Berlin has been brought
up to look puon the institution as one OF
the wonders of the capital. Yet there
seems good ground for complaint now
that the abolition of the '.smoker'-a
sacrifice that the Berliner consented To
with much reluctance, only on the ground
of speec-l,as been fact for three
months without bringing with it any ap-
preciable advantages in any way.
The management of the trains in the
stations is just as slow as before. Cars
are without connecting corridors. the
doors are heavy to move, and there is no
guard in the train to open them. The con-
sequence is that the passengers are very
slow i'm getting on and off. The result of
the move against the smoker and this in
to cater to the increasing de-
mand for speed is, however already
making itself evident by the refusal of

to the electric trains. although hitherto
the number of passengers has risen rap
idly by many millions yearly. The In

at least half dozen places on every
Berlin tramcar where one may smoke.

Representative Britten Makes It
Easy Sailing for Man Who
Seeks Office.

The republicans in Congress are laugh
ing with gleeful laughs at the trick which
one of their number. Representative
Britten of Illnois-a new member at
that-played on the democrats when
they read in the Congressional Record
of yesterday morning a full, complete
and concise list of every government job
for which no civil service examination
is necessary. The reason for these loud
outlaws from the G. o. P. (Which has
perked up some since the leaders got to-
together at the New Willard yesterday
is that democrats, failing to get the pie
sliced off as generously as they thought
they would, have been telling their office
seeking constituents that 'jobs are awful
scarce. If you find one outside the civil
service let us know and then We'll see if
we can fix it."
And now says Representative Brit

to do is to take Congressional Record

nicely. too. He arose from his seat in the
House Friday afternoon, just few mo-

with a dull thud upon the sounding

No One Suspected Him.

OF course if the democrats had had
any idea that Mr.. Britten was about to
throw the slightest difficulty in their path,
already strewn with officeseekers, some
of them would have punched large holes
in the unanimous consent But no one
suspected a new member of any such
trick.
Mr.. Britten explained his machina-
tions to a Star reporter last night. He
said:
AT the opening of the Sixty-second
Congress- when the democrats came into
control of the House for the first time in
sixteen years, and the hungry hordes of
constituents of the democratic members
began to line up for jobs at the Capitol,
CONSERVATION was thrown into the ranks
of this side of the House by the publica-
ton of little red book by the clerk of
the committee on accounts, giving a list
of officers and employees of the House of
Representatives with their salaries. and
a howl went up that it was a republican
scheme to make them trouble. They had
intended to quietly apportion the patron
age, dish it out to the favored ones, and
by the time the rank and file had dis
covered what jobs were available all the
places would have been filled. and the
pieseekers could be met with the regret
full statement that they were just a little
too late and there were no vacancies.
