Opposed Decimal System.

Among the most determined oppo-
nents of the decimal system was, OF
course, Herbert Spencer. Some of his
most eloquent pamphlets were written
against it. So determined, indeed, was
he that nothing he could do to prevent
its Introduction should be left undone,
that he made a permanent provision
for renewing the opposition whenever
1t might be necessary. He left instruc-
lions that his famous pamphlets should
be at once reprinted, whenever there
was any serious possibility of the au-
thorities being so far lied astray" as
to contemplate the adoption OF the
system. His executors are, no doubt,
taking note of the present renewed
agitation.

a circlet Of leaves filed in with net, a

Sew these motifs on quite nat ana

must be gone over with over-and-over
stitch so that all is kept neat; press
well down with moderate iron when
done.
Initials are always suitable for hand
kerchiefs, though they should not be
too large; they look very nice worked
with satin stitch and surrounded with
tiny French knots.
A collection Of dozen handker-

ing work for spare moments and well
repays the worker for the little trouble
spent.

Electric Fact and Fancy.

The radioactive mind of Charles f.
Steinmetz does not lead him into ro-
mantle excursions dealing in a Flam''
marion or Tesla vein with the future
of electricity. He sees ahead Of the
present development Of lighting sys-
TENS and power plants an evolution
sufficiently wonderful without
startling innovation. Here, for In
stance, is a lamp which will give light
by power made as it is held in the
hand, and here is a fashlight which
will facilitate the autobiography OF
shy forest denizens. Many are the
devices for destroying the monopoly
that night has held in the absence OF
the sun. The moving picture is to
gain from improved ways Of produc-
ing and projecting the illumination
The motorcar and the railway train
have much to gain from intensive ex-
pertinent. In the constructive era
that must come after the devils

take a leading role. This is no time
for man to plume himself that he has
aharnessed the lightning" He hos

tiality Of the twentieth century magi'

Halls Return of ShaWIs.

The news from the fashion world
1s that shawls will come back, espe-
cially the old paisley shawls that our
grandmothers wore and looked so
well in, in the sixties and before. 1t
will be refreshing sight to see the
women wear shawls again. Wen
bet It will make them handsomer, If
it could be so, than the loose and
disjointed coats they have been wear
ing. Why, some of these coats have
been rights; and If it were not for
the women themselves, they would
have scared off the populace. We
hope the shawl will return. But we
have been wondering If the fashion
will include the men in its sway. Many
of our readers will remember when
men wore shawls. They were indeed
a luxury-so handy and warm. They
were generally Of light gray color,
but many men affected stripes and
seemed very proud of their appear
ance. Our recollection is that the fash
ion didn't last long. The men got
fldgety and returned to coats, But we

Loose Change in Safety.

Stockings, originally designed to
keep the neither limbs from freezing
have been since their very inception
used for other purposes. Witness the
original First National bank. How
ever, stockings. have always been
stockings, for there have never been
any improvements made since the
original ones were made sometime
back in the days when man was be-
ginning to come out Of the "stone age"
excepting, of course, that thSy are be-
ing made Of finer and more expensive
texture. In the days of old, no doubt
potato bags (if such things there were)
were wrapped about the limbs and
pinned together or held in place with
the twig of tree or tough grass. Now
there are stockings of finest gossamer,

WORLD IS SHORT OF WHEAT
December Scars to $1.96, Highest since
the Hutchinson Corner
In 1888.

Chicago, Oct. 27.-The worldwide
shortage of wheat has forced prices on
the local board of trade above the
mark set in the Letter corner Of 1898
and close to the high mark In the his
tory of the cereal since Civil war days.
December wheat scared to $1,86 and
May to $1.85 on Wednesday. When Jo-
seph Letter was cornering the grain he
forced the price of wheat up to S1.85,
which was the highest mark reached
since 1867 except for corner en-
gineered by B. P. Hutchinson cod

breaking figure Of 81 bushel was
touched.

fROCk FOR Child
FLUFFY SKIRT OF BLUE SILK
NULL EASY TO MAKE.
Home Dressmaker Will Find II No
Hard Task TO Design and Make
Ready the Garment De-
scribed Below.

Like a flower of spring Is this fury
skirt of blue silk null trimmed with
bias folds of blue taffetn.
Every woman who can sew at all
knows that a ruff1ed skirt Is, the cas-
lest to make. A plain foundation Is
gathered to a waist band and meas
ured to the length on the child; then
ruffles are stitched around the skirt,
the upper ruff1e forming the line for
those that follow.
It will be we'll to fit the skirt lining
and then rip the basting at the belt
because ruff1es are more easily stitched
on the lining when 1t is smooth.
In this instance the ruffles must have
tthe bias folds stitched on the right
side. then turned over and hemmed
down on the under side. BY applying
the folds in this manner the stitching
will not show.
A mother, perhaps, is unwilling to
take the trouble involved In applying
these folds on scallops. The work, OF
course, is somewhat tedious. In such
case it Is simple matter to hem the
ruffles or make them of embroidery.
For ordinary wear the wise mother
will make this dress Of wash mate,
rails which may be frequently laun'
dered.
1t is to be remembered that little
girls may wear china silk and sport
silk as we'll as silk null, but chlffons
and taffetas are for the "grown-ups.'
The only variation from this rule Is
in the matter of taffeta coats. whtcf

Easy to Trim Handkerchief.

Everyone likes to use dainty and
good-looking handkerchiefs, but they
cannot be bought cheaply, and often
are beyond the purse. Cheaply
trimmed handkerchiefs are In very bad
taste, and it is far better to use SIM
Die ones than resort to them.
However, with little trouble every
girl could make herself collection Of
nice handkerchiefs at about half the
cost Of buying them.
White sales should be watched for,
then good linen handkerchIefs can be
bad cheaply; these usually have Q ht-

CLOCK TO BE DEPENDED ON.
Cleveland Claims the Record Of Hav-
lng the Most Accurate Of Worlds
Timekeepers.

In the Case School Of Applied Sci
ence In Cleveland there Is clock that
holds the worlds record for accurate
timekeeping. Over period OF several
months 1t showed variation OF only
ght-thousandths Of second a-day,
which, in years time. would be less
than three seconds.
Ship chronometers, which are the
most accurate time measuring instru-
ments in general use, cannot keep true
time within Less than three to five Sec
onds a month. Marine observations
are absolutely dependent on accurate
timepieces, but ships officers have to
be satisfied II they can adjust their
chronometers so that they will either
gain or lose certain amount eacn
day. Then they add or substract ana
get absolutely correct time.
This Case clock, says the Youths
Companion. stands on u stone pier, In
dependent of the building, that ex-
tends sixteen feet to q natural shale
foundation. 1t is In small room sur
rounded by two other rooms, all built
with brick walls. Gas stoves heat the
outer rooms, and electric contact tner-
mometers regulate the temperature.
The gas stove flame AUTOMATICALLY
rises or falls with the variation In the
outside air temperature. Thus on warm
days in August the flame In the gas
stove is very low, while in below-zero
January it burns ut its brightest. In
the clock room itself the temperature
is adjusted by an ordinary sixteen-can-
die power incandescent lamp that Is
flashed on and Off by another electrlc
contact thermometer. The scnooi
strictly enforces the rule that there
must never be more than two persons
in this inner room Mt one time.
The clock, which stands five feet
high, has three separate dials that reg
lister the hours, minutes and seconds
It is inclosed in an alright glass jar
inside of which are delicate 1nstru-
ments for measuring temperature at
mospheric pressure and moisture, "A
small amount Of chloride OF Hlhe'
which Is an efficient desiccating ma
terial, is kept always in the jar to ao-
sorb the moisture.
BY the aid of set Of dry batteries
the clock automatically winds itself
every seven minutes. The movement
Is adjusted slow or fast by pumping
air in or out of the glass container
Observations are. made from the out
side through double glass windows
through the separating walls ana pS
