IMITATION MADE A FINE ART
Writer Can See Excuses for the Copy
ing of Styles Belonging to the
Past Ages.

We have had the renaissance period,
the directoire period, the imperial
period-why not the imitation
period as well?
The colonial houses are initiated;
so is old furniture. AS for dress,
imitation is the dominating note of
the whole fashionable world. Beauty
Is not even skin deep nowadays; it is
copied with the same facility and ease
with which mediocre artist can re-
produce the likeness of famous pic
ture. Why, the painting IF por-
trait pales into insignifcance beside
the work of the geniuses who create
khe styles.
1t may not be possible to. make a
silk purse out of sow's ear-but who
wants silk purse, at any rate, with
such splendid silver limitations on the
market, all glittering with imitation
jewels?

Great Statesmen of the ,Forties.

1t was marked epoch, for Web
ster, Calhoun and Clay were then in
the senate. 1t is seldom that three
such men appear upon the theater of
action at the same time They were
each distinct from the other in person,
manner, heart and constitution; they
were from different sections of the
country and to some extent reflected
the manners, habits and opinions of
these diverse regions. They were all
Of remarkable personal appearance;
Webster of massive form, dark com
plexion and thoughtful, solemn coun.
tenance; Clay, tall, of rather slight
frame, but keen, flexible features and
singular ease and freedom in his at
dtudes, his walk, and his gestures
Calhoun was also tall, but erect and
rigid in his form-his eye grayish blue
and flashing from beneath a brow at
once impefious and scornful All these
men were great orators, not through
art, but Nature, and gave to the eff
feet of their high intellectual endow
ments the added power of command

expressive countenances.-Goo

METAL FLOWERS AND FANCIES
Return of Idea That Was the Extreu.
of Fashion Only Few
Seasons Past.

One might have imagined that
there was nothing less likely to han

they were sufficiently in the forefron,

most unlikely forecast. Yet here W.
are glittering as much as ever with
cloth of gold for our evening attire
and brocades richly shot with cold
making some of the smartest TONES
and draped hats that are worn on the
street.
Gold lace is also millinery feature
that seems worth mentioning, and one
thing in favor of metallic effects re-
naming among the more exclusive Of
the seasons details is that they are
chiefly confined to the more expensive
ornaments.
Silver as well as gold is to be seen
especially in the form of large plair
buckles or of the full blown roses that
are so soft and graceful in silver apd
gold cloth
Motifs of metal or of metallic en-
broidery are much used for feather
mounts, and even without a feather
such motif is a sufficient finish fol
a smart tailored hat. Jet ornaments
are used in the same way, and a par
adise plume cannot be set on more eff
fectively than as the fringe of a large
double bow of handsomely cut jet

REALLY HANDSOME HANDBAGS
Elaborate characterization, With Caps
ciousness, Is the Distinguishing
Feature Just Now

Cut brocaded velvet and heavy silk
plush with silver filigree fastenings
make handsome bags for the middle
aged woman. They are capacious
enough to hold handkerchief, eye
glasses or lorgnette, coin purse and
other small articles. Pocketbooks Of
the same materials with half dozen
different compartments, the middle
one clasped shut, are also made now
and can be carried in the larger
handbags.
Silk and plush purses, something
like the reticules carried by women
a generation or two ago, purses about
ten inches long and three inches wide,
with a clasp at each end and steel
ring in the center to slip over the
finger, are especially convenient to
carry in the muff.
Handles On the new hand bags DC
not reach the absurd length usual
last year. They are still long, sone Of
them two or three feet. Leather bags
frequently have handles of silk cords
and velvet and chenille cord, A new
handle is made of black taffeta silk
shirred over heavy cord.

TEACHERS HIRED FOR LIFE
Swiss Pedauogues Receive Small Pay,
but Are Persons of Consequence.
Says School Head.

Thurgau.-"Nearly 80 per cent of
the teachers in Switzerland are men,,
says w. K Tate, supervisor of rural
schools in South Carolina. Mr.. Tate
has just returned from three
ponths' investigation in Switzerland
under the auspices of the national bu-
reau of education.
Five hundred dollars is considered
good salary for teacher. After
lifetime of service he may go as high
$780, Living is cheaper there than
here, however, and in addition to his
salary he is given dwelling, GER
tain amount of garden land and wood
for fuel His dwelling is generally in
the same building with the school.
His position is of considerable local
Importance. Aside from his duties In
the schoolroom, he is often secretary
of the local creamery association,
leader of the village band, organist in
the church and general intellectual
guide for the community.
when teacher is engaged it is
for life or long term of years. He
settles down with the people whose
children he teaches, and expects to
make that particular job his life work.
Changes are rare. Twelve new teach
ers in one year in system of 24O
was considered very unusual. The
record for continued service in the
same village is held by teacher in
Thurgau, who has occupied the same
position for sixty-five years. One
teacher that visited has held his
position for twenty-four years, and his
father held the same position for
thirty-five years.
Zone Of the most attractive features
of the Swiss schools is the cordial per-
sonal relation that exists between
teacher and pupil. There is nothing
of the military in the discipline of the
school; no lining up; no marching to
classes. When the children go to the
classrooms they shake hands with
the teacher, greeting him as If they
had not seen him for long time and
are really glad to see him. The whole
relation is one of charming natural
ness and kindness on both Sides

Make sponaes Of Paper.

Sponges made of paper is a recent
and ingenious employment of eel
Iulose to which we owe much In their
manufacture paper pulp is treated
with zinc chloride; there results q
viscous mass. Sodium chloride (oI
ordinary table salt is added to this i;
the mass is then thoroughly rinsed
with alcohol, and is finally submitted
to the action of a press whose plat
form bristles with a number of fine
metallic points or projections. These
penetrate the mass, forming tubes like
those in an ordinary marine sponge
The block thus obtained is of spongy
consistency and is both insoluble and
unalterable in water. 1t is smooth
and pleasant to the touch, and is not
susceptible to putrefaction.
