rapidly, and it is presumably true OF
most parts of the country.
In objects of expenditure, educa-
ton leads with s133,533,S13 to its
debit. We hope we all get our
moneys worth, but there is an in
creasing number who doubt it.
Next follows protection of lie and
property-that is TO say, the police
and fire epartments-with SILL
932,64S. Streets come next with
$54,77S,717, pith protection Of
health 44,330,455. For charities,
hospitals and correctional institu-
tions the 1874 cities expended $29,-
621,797. The sum of S16,10S,S0S
was expended for recreation, and the
general cost" of governing the 1S4
cities was 53,4O2,4S7.
The rapid increase of per capita
taxation is not confined to munici-
paiities, but extends to other politi-
cal subdivisions, the states and the
nation. We are going the pace.
More and more the public is seiz-
ing upon the savings of it's citizens
and applying them to public uses,
mostly unproductiye, and when pro-
ductive less so than if the enterprises
were in private hands.
And every dollar thus taken from
the earnings of the citizen is one dol
lar less for that citizen to apply di-
rectly for his individual benefit OF
invest reproductively.
Many suppose that it is only tax
payers who pay taxes. 1t is a great
fallacy. If taxes could not be
passed on to the community at large
they could not be paid at all. Those
from whose hands the taxes are di.
rectly taken could not possibly sup
port all our governments. And those
who are quite poor probably pay
most of all.
There are those who would delib-
erately seize for the state all the
savings of individuals, having nc
conception of the calamities which
would follow if it could be done.

There is every promise of another stampede into the north. The same man who discovered the Rlondyke- Skookum Jim has located claims in the Tesliu country and is bring ing up his friends from Seattle to locate ground in the new fields. The first reports went out from Sc attle that the Teslin counry could be best reached by going up the stikine river. which Of course was q mistake The easiest and nearest route to the new discovery is via Skagvay. From here there is a railroad and stage trail to Atlin and from there it is a hundred and fifty miles to tn lower end of Teslin lake. Alter the rivers open, a boat may be talk en at Whitehorse and passengers landed at the lake via the Hootalin- qua river, which is but sixty miles from the strike. Therefore take the Skagway route.

The United States district court has denied to owners of patents the right to fix the price for the resale of their patented articles. Judge Ray, who rendered the decision, held that the jobber or dealer who assents to fix prices as demanded by the patentee and manufacturer becomes a party to an illegal com blnation in restraint of trade. The action was brought by the Waltham Watch Company against a New York jeweler, to restrain the defendant for selling for less than a fixed price watch movements patented, manufactured, and sold by the Wal than Company.

John has lived outside of Alaska for several years, that is, he was out side in the flesh, but his heart has always been here, and we don't care much for the flesh up here, if a mans heart is in the right place.

other development of the always pres
ent girdle shows silk in three colors
laid in pleats, making a three-toned
girdle. Certain It is that, In the man
agement of the waist line, our present
modes are the most artistic, the most
easy and graceful OF any that lie with
in the memory of the women of our
country.
The study of gown of as great ar
tistic value as this one should involve
that of the dressing of the feet and
the arrangement of the couture, be-
cause both these matters should enter
into the consideration OF dressy cos
tune at any time. Satin slippers in
black with rhinestone buckles, and
silk hosiery Of the color of the gown
take care of the clothing of the feet
appropriately.
The couture is one of those designs
classified as the "casque" style, in
which all the hair is waved 1t is ar.
ranged over the head like a turban.
There is no chignon at the back The
ends of the hair are turned under the
waves and spread about in such a way
as to dispense with a coil.
In cutting a gown of this character
wide goods are more easily managed
than narrow. Skirts, overlapping at
the front, while narrow, give room for
easy walking because the front seam
is not joined down to the bottom. The
under petticoat must be soft; the most
clinging of fabrics, as chiffon or crepe
de chine, or lace. An inserted founce
will take the place of petticoat
Anything heavy enough to interfere
with the falling of the skirt in close
and clinging lines would destroy an
important item in the beauty of the
design. It Is the hang and not fit OF
garments which is of paramount i'm.
portance now. The figure, without dis
tortion of any sort, without restraint
but in the lovely. natural silhouette
is glorified in present day styles
which really amount to cleverly ar
ranged drapery. Garments must not
shape the figure today; they must be
shaped by it, or appear to be, anyway
Hence SO many gowns seem to be de
signed for the corsetless figure.

Ninth soft lace drapery which forms
W their bodices, gowns for evening
or for afternoon functions are com
,.pleted by draped skirts meeting the
bodice with girdle or sash. Often
the top of the skirt extends itself into
the waist line drapery, and often a
separate girdle in a contrasting color
lis employed.
But whatever the finish at the waist
line, for these gowns for high occa-
sions, the splendid corsage rose is
rarely left out This is a rose made
OF ribbon or velvet, mounted with or
without millinery foliage and having
a ribbon-wrapped stem.
Such rose is posed at the front of
the gown, usually a little toward the
left side and just under the bust. It

The roses of satin or velvet are
made in all the fashionable new col.
"ors. Certain yellow and strong light
green shades, also deep orange and
black, have been favorites. These
'corsage roses-in passing-will trans
form a plain skirt and dressy blouse
into quite formal dress. They are
large and are made OF ribbon about
three inches wide, or wider. The rib
bon is cut into lengths to form the
petals, each length being twice that

for plating in at the base of the pet

A wire provides the stem. A little
ball Of cotton is wound about one end,
the size of thimble, and over this
"a bit of ribbon is placed and fastened
to the stem by winding it with q
thread or tie-wire. About this center
a short length of ribbon folded

heart of the rose.

These roses made Of velvet ribbon
about two inches wide in a deep gold
color are mounted with velvet foliage.
Besides satin and velvet ribbon the
heavier gauze ribbons are used, and
the gold and silver tissue. Roses of
this sort are expensive bits of luxury
when bought ready made-from about
two to i've dollars each. The value ia
placed upon the time consumed in
making them, and the workmanship,
far more than in the material used.
For less dress-up times. the little
rosegay of rosebuds made of several
different colors of narrow satin ribbon,
is still a great favorite. These small
roses are made of length of satin
ribbon folded lengthwise along the
center) or of separate petals made OF
narrow ribbon. They are mounted on
little stems of small green covered
wire. Sprays of fine millinery foliage
of maidenhair fern usually are used
with them by way Of variety. Narrow
velvet ribbon in green or purple winds
the stems together, and finish the
nosegay with a little bow. These
small nosegays are scented, and form
the daintiest of accessories worn on
the coat or furs for the street. Small
bits of ribbon or silk will make them.
They are always appreciated, bound
to please THOSE who possess a sense
of the value of such finishing touches
to the toilet. It would be difficult Ia
think up a better Christmas gift for
ones friends. JULIA BoTToMLEV.
