Fancy Underbodice.

The latest thing in fancy under
3dices is substantial, but it is not
Iractical-if you object to having such
garments cleaned instead of laun-
dered. For it is made chiefly of sash
ribbon, the broadcast that comes in
keavy MORE. A strip Of ribbon long
enough to encircle the bust is built up
several inches by a widt' of lace
Joined across the shoulders by narrow
straps of matching mesh over which
trail tiny flowers in satin. There is
an invisible joining for the fronts of
the ribbon, which is fitted to the
waistband by cluster plaitings in
groups of three. Any girl with taste
for doing fancy work could easily
make one of these bodices for herself.

from the sale of all the calves. Ffgur-
ing the entire milk production for
Is years at eight cents quart,
the total would be s4,358.72. The ap-
proximate cost of keeping her was
$50 a)year, or total of $3.50.
The average daily production of
milk for the Is years was a little
more than nine quarts a day. During
her best year she produced a little
more than Is quarts a day.

a pound, the total for the butter pro-
ductlon from Grace Briggs would be

Pottery Is Popular.

Pottery has again come into vogue
to great extent, and it is most at
tractive for spring luncheon. lending
itself readily to many flowers or none
at all. The quaint shapes and odd
colorings are a decoration in them
selves. At one luncheon little bowls
of pottery without handles were used
for soup, and even the water was
served in tall beakers of the same
quaint ware; silver platters were dis
carded in favor of square and oblong
ones of pottery on which curious fig
ures and flowers were portrayed in
odd, fascinating colors.-Harper's

What Modish Women Know.

Buttons seem an odd hat trimming
yet three big pearl buttons ale
fastened on the twilled ribbon band
that encircles the crown of broad
brimmed black velvet hat.
Sleeves on some the new evening
frocks are no more than little rufHes,
sometimes of tulle edged with beads,
and sometimes held out with a fex-
ible wire at the lower edge.
Cretonne flowers are cut out and
glued on the crowns and brims OF
white hats. They make effective trim
ming, and, of course, when they fade
or become tiresome, they can easily be
removed with the aid of little water.

 "There was young clergyman, who, although himself poor, used to give away his clothes.
 "The young minister's flock con tained many poor and worthy men, and he would give them shoes, socks, coats, underclothing, gloves, and any thing else they might ask for which was in his possession.
 "Yes, time and time again he would give away his clothes foolishly and recklessly, piece by piece, until" Here the charity worker smiled:

THE NECESSITY FOR MORE
 INTENSIVE STUDY PRISONERS

Society itself Is made a partner in crime by some of the methods aimed at the prevention of crime. That our present undiscriminating system of dealing with offenders against the law too often makes criminals is no news to those who have given it study; but reform is as yet sporadic and tentative. Two recent articles emphasize the need of study and classification of prisoners from the point of view of mentality and social adjustment. One of these is an ac- count of an examination by Drs. Ordahl and Singer of convicts at Joliet. The other is Dr. F. R. Spaul- ding's elaborate study of 800 in- mates of the Massachusetts Reforma- tory for Women. In both of these, as in other similar studies, the large proportion of mental defectives found among the prisoners is striking. Evi- dently it is unjust to these subnor- maj persons to punish them as if they were normal and responsible, and just as evidently it Is risk to society to release them at the end of their terms of imprisonment as if they were nor nal and responsible. Spaulding right ly urges the necessity of adequate provision by the state for permanent custodial care of all committable mental defectives, whether or not they have court records. Spaulding's article and that of Ordahl and Singer both emphasize the need of separat- ing the more hopeful and educable class of prisoners from the class of confirmed and incorrigible criminals. Both articles also lay stress on the value-indeed, the necessity-of the Iindeterminate sentence. Although this phase of the matter is not dis cussed in either article, the data in both likewise suggest the reason for the undeserved odium which has in some instances been thrown on the workings of the indeterminate sen tence and other excellent measures. The trouble with methods requiring discrimination and wisdom in their application is that they presuppose 1 the possession of exact knowledge with regard to the prisoner; and this exact knowledge too often is not available, for the prisoner has not been sufficiently studied. Ordahl and | Singer emphasize the "scanty and very unsatisfactory" character of the | information on the subject of con- ! lvicts available for the use of the board of pardons. Thus the danger ous criminal may be released to the detriment of society, and the pliable but not as yet dangerous accidental offender may he, according to The Journal of the American Medical As sociation, retained to his own detri-
 ment. Knowledge is needed; and with increased knowledge the more advanced methods will become feas- ible.

W. E. Atkinson, w. A. Hatley, T. H. Bascom, T. c. McRae.

Mr. T. A. Humphreys, as post mas ter, and Mr. Allsopp as deputy, took charge of the post office at this place last Monday. Both gentlemen are clever and polite, and possess all the necessary qualifications required to make officers, and will doubtless prove accommodating and attentive to the wants of the people. Of course they are republicans, and as such, are naturally entitled to the po- sition-such changes naturally follow in the course of political events, as to the "victors belong the spells" Mir. Humphreys informs us that the office will remain in it's present local | ity, and that no changes, etc, will at present be made iii the boxes, but he will from time to time make such inn Iprovements as the business of the of flee may justify. We hope these gen tlemen may find pleasure and profit in their new offices.
