Tall Trimmings on Millinery.

According to the Dry Goods Econo-
mist, tall trimmings continue the
rage and IN some of the imported
models this idea is carried almost to
the point of absurdity. Among the
most effective models now being
shown in which the tall trimming idea
is employed is a black Milan sailor
with the brim gently rolled at the left
side. A tiny fringe of black goura
outlines the brim and from the edge
Of the brim at the left shoots upward
a tall black goura aigrette bent at
the top in loop form. The tall trim.

WRISTBANDS BACK IN FAVOR
Old Style Revived, Though in Much
Daintier Fashion Than Those Of
Few Years Ago.

Hail the old-fashioned wristband!
you're not strictly up-to-date If you
don't possess at least one specimen.
These bands. which take the place of
bracelets, but are much daintier, con-
sist of strips OF inch-wide velvet rib
bon long enough to go once about the
wrist. On the upper side of the arm,
the strip of velvet is secured by a
pair Of inch-square or inch-long OBJ
long clasps of engraved gold, ham,
mered silver or carved ivory. That is
to say, the simpler sort of wristbands
are thus clasped. The more expensive
kind are made of platinum or of gold
or silver thickly encrusted with tiny
jewels or gems or set with a single
large jewel or gem, surrounded by
others of much smaller size Ere
quently several kinds of jewels orna-
ment a pair of wristband clasps and
again single diamond or pearl is i'm
bedded in the center of a square OF
precious metal
1t is possible to have a pair of the
large old-fashioned cameo or coral
earrings made over into wristband
clasps, and, although in former days
a single bracelet band of this type
was rarely worn, nowadays it is COM
monty seen. Many women who have
inherited a collection of old-fashioned
ornaments are having them made over
into bracelet clasps and usually the
task is neither difficult nor expensive.

Innings.

Green as trimming, especially an
eighteenth century shade of green,
will be a feature, particularly as coat
Innings for velvet and fur. Yellow and
orange are also popular for this pur-
pose. Much can be expressed in a
coat lining. Many of these Innings are
works of art in themselves, and lin
ing denotes proper appreciation of de-
tails which augurs we'll for the essen
tial. A fascinating effect noticed in a
tailor made coat of chestnut brown
tweed was a lining of olive green
satin with a piping all round inside of
a natter blue shot ribbon.

MORE ATLANTIC
LINERS REQUIRED
CONGESTION ON EXISTING STEAM.
SHIPS ON ACCOUNT OF CANA
DIAN IMMIGRATION.

It Is reported that eight new Trans
Atlantic liners are under construction
for the exclusive use OF the Canadian
Trade. These are being built by the
White Star, Canadian Pacific and
Cunard Companies.
The liners to be built for the White
Star are to be of the same type as the
Laurentic and Majestic, and will re-
place the Canada and Teutonic. The
Cunard Lines new steamer, Ascania.
has already completed successfully
her maiden voyage from England to
Montreal, and her sister ship will be
launched early next year
1t is predicted that the Canadian
Northern will not be slow in following
the example of the other big concerns.
as it is matter of common belief that
Canada, more than any other In the
world, will be the country Of the flu
ture, and the best field for investment
by shipping interests.
An official OF one of the companies
already building steamers for this
trade told the American yesterday
that the ideal steamer for this service
Is the two-cabin boat, having accom-
mediation for second-class and steer
age passengers only.
1--WE do not expect that the $4,000
cabin de luxe class will travel be-
tween Canada and England very ex-
tensively," he said, "but the business
that is to be obtained there will be
immensely lucrative, and for the next
ten years the eyes of the shipping
world will be riveted on Canada. The
Panama Canal, undoubtedly will re-
ceive a lot of attention, but the bust
ness in that route will be nothing COM
pared with the Canadian trade for the
immediate future. Panama will de-
velop and become bigger in the years
to come, but at the present we are
most concerned with the tremendous
tide of immigration that is being di-
verted from the United States to the
Dominion.
1.-The farm land Of the vast North
West is the attraction, and while this
flood Of immigration is at its height,
the Canadian Government exercises a
strict censorship over the class OF i'm
migrants admitted In this way they
are drawing their future citizens from
the Northern countries and have
shown an unwelcome face to the peo-
pie Of Southern Europe.

'1Ie Shot down the stairs like
flying squirrel" says a recent story.
This is the kind of metaphor that
Prof. Barrett Wendell, who has writ
ten a very good book on English com,
position. would condemn. A flying
squirrel does not shoot down the
stairs The purpose was to give one
a vivid idea Of how the man looked
when he was falling. But as no one
ever saw a flying squirrel falling
down stairs, and as few have seen
q flying squirrel in any other enforced
or voluntary exercise, the figure did
lot help. Now, if one wishes to de-
scribe a flying squirrel and should
say tina: 1t looked like a person fall
ing down stairs, the description might
not be accurate, but the literary style
would be good. For many persons
have seen a child fall down stairs.
Admittedly, the smile like a flying
squirrel has a bizarre, "up-and-at-
EN- manner that is rather taking in
modern story writing Yet its use
affords a good example of how not
to 10 g."

There is a division Of labor in mod
ern astronomy. Some astronomers
are devoted to astro-physical research.
some are mathematicians, others, to
borrow the phrase of Keats, are watch
ers of the skies. Lewis Swift, who is
dead at Marathon, n. Y, at the age OF
ninety-two, belonged to the latter
class He was made director of the
Warner observatory at Rochester
now the Lowe observatory, in
1882. Long before that time he had
discovered many comets, ateroids and
nebulae. In 1878. during a total solar
eclipse. he thought he caught
glimpse of two intra-Mercurial plan
cts. The list of his discoveries OF
comets, asteroids and nebulae would
be long, as may be judged from the
fact that nine hundred of the latter
are recorded to his credit.

WEARY WALKERS

Dozen Sent Already to the

Americus, as is usually the case Gt
this season, is just now the Mecca OF
the army of Weary Willies who, driven
from the cities by cold weather. are
making the hike southwark. Almost
every incoming freight train brin.s
such recruits to Americus-and to the
chaingang- just an even dozen
have landed within the past few days.
OF this dozen eight are white men
and boys, while four are negro tramps.
All were caught riding the rods, and
all get the same dose administered yy
Judge Harper, in the city court, three
months in the gang, or fine of $40.
Only one of the dozen paid out, rela
tives in Birmingham having remitted
the requisite forty and secured his re-
lease. Is
The fact that eight white men have
been sent to the county gang here
within a few days is most unusual,
Beating rides on trains is In violation
of a state law, and when the hoboe
enter pleas of guilty, Judge Harper
has no other alternative. They are
better cared for there, perhaps, than
they would be sleeping in the woo1s
or wandering about.
Two of the white men sent up yes
terday were under age, one claiming d
home in Tennessee, while the other had
strolled away from distant Oklahoma.
In this connection, the Americus
public would doubtless be glad of an
abatement of the nuisance of street
beggars. These strapping fellows arc
not objects of charity, and their I'M
portunities for aims, and oftimes ex-
hibition of sores, is Objectionable "a
many. AS the holidays approach the
number of street beggars increases.
These hoboes are required to get s.
permit from the city authorities, and a
refusal of this license to beg, would
soon rid the streets of them here.
