Lace collars of this variety appear on some of the Louis XV. coats with an over collar and revers of fur, and lace undersleeves are the usual accompaniment. : 2 Many and curious are the Ilong chains that are Dbeing worn. ‘I saw one woman at a recent fashionable ball adorned with multitudinous loops of .chain, chiefly coral, fixed so as to dangle row under row across her figure at the waist. live lpng chains also surrounded her neck, and were looped and disposed below the waist and on the bust in various fashions.

The fashionable woman, too, is waiting. She looks with longing eyes upon the charming spring and summer materials with which the merchants are tempting her to buy, but she looks only. She is anxious to first hear from Paris, and while she does not like to miss the first choice from the array of new mnovelties that are offered, she does not lL.ke to spend her surplus of dollars for that which the turn of a card may make undesirable. Should Paris as well as London take advantage of the griei in England to don dark colors for the coming season Neww York wiil quickly follow.

IN SORE STRAITS. TR RTINS A e Strong Opposition to the Ship Subsidy Bill Making Advocntes Lo YEeey. ' As the time for adjournment approaches the prospects for the pasage of the ship subsidies bill are becoming steadily darker, but the se¢nators who are opposing this measure should not relax their efforts on that account. In the complications. which have arisen in the present session it is difficult to foresee the developments which may arise from day to day to promote or retard a given bill. The advocates of the subsidies heretofore have been found to be working most effectively when the prospects before them seemed darkest, and unless Senator Frye has recanted he still stands ready to hold up. even the appropriation bills unless the subsidy proposition is made law. It is evident, however, that the measure’s enactment lis doubtful. This should stimulate its opponents to keep up their efforts and look out for tricks designed to bring the bill forward unexpectedly and give it a more favorable position. It has been made manifest during the session that the sentiment of the vast middle west and of a considerable proportion of all other parts of the country is unalterably opposed to the subsidy plan. Among those who are not actively opposed to it, another very large proportion of the public is either apathetic or not fully informed as to the character and purpose of the measure. The active’support of the bill comes from the interests to be benefited and from the handful of senatcrs who have taken it upon themselves to endow those interests with a rich annuity from out the public treasury.

The senatorial contest over the measure is thus fairly a contest of public sentiment against private interests, and the fact that the latter are sufiiciently powerful to fight their battle on anything like equal terms isinitself unpleasantly suggestive of the extent to which private interests have gained influence in the senate. Were the measure wholly commendable in itself, it is yet of no such vital importance as to require consideration now, when there is barely sufficient time to pass the appropriation and tax-reduction bills. The senators opposing it should exercise vigilance and energy in seeing that it does not pass. Should a special session be necessitated because of the fight upon the subsidies, the blame will fall only upon the senators'who blocked legislation in their desperate efforts to have the bill made law.—Chicago Record (Ind.).

DECEIVING THE PEOPLE.

Truth Regarding the True Siate of Affairs in the Philippines ; Now Coming Out,

One cannot help wondering whether we are to have a great popular reaction in this country on the Philippine iszue. After long delay, the truth concerning the condition of affairs in the Phiiippine archipelago is gradually coming to the knowledge of the American people; ‘and, to the surprise of a large number, they find this truth to be widely at variance with the statements made by those who have been officially responsible for our Philippine pelicy. In view of this now ascertained condition, what confidence, we ask again, can the American people place in the utterances of those who have sought, in an apparently willful manner, to thus deceive them? .

How far can human credulity go? How much better are we than the benighted people of Spain, who a few years ago were kept lulled in a state of blind contentment by the official reports which the government at Madridhad given out of the battles that had been fought with the Cuban guerrillas, and the immmense victories that the Spanish troops had won? At that time those Americans who commented upon the subject could not find words strong enocugh to deseribe the crass stupidity. of the Spanish people who could be thus deceived and misled by their government. But it may be pertinent to ask, in what respect the condition of: the American people has differed curing the last two years, in reference to the subject we have referred .to, from the condition of the Spanish people four or five years ago respecting the Cuban insurreetien? An autocratic government may feel that it is justified in Jkeeping its people in ignorance; but in what way is it possible to have a government of the people, by the people and for the people carried on while they are grossly deceived concerning important public matters, it is beyond our imagination to understand.—Boston Heraldi (Ind.). :

WE HAVE IMPERIALISM NOW.

Rule by Military Force Is Already a Faet in This “Free’ - : g Country. -

Senator Teller is right in saying that imperialism is not a fear, but a realization; not a thing to be warded off, but a thing to be abandoned. In his recent speech ‘in the senate he administered a well-deserved rebuke to those who prate about partial liberty and conditional self-gov-ernment. He said: : “I have not agreed with everybody who has been in fear of imperialism. I said two vears ago last month in the|senate that there would not bé any imperialism there; for the American pepple would not allow it. - Since then I have seen in those islands an imperial government that has had no equal on the face of the earth, an‘imperial gov-. ernmernt that has not a counterpart anywhere under the heavens, an imperial government with five men, and five men only, - strangers to the language, strangers to tho country, unacquainted with the interests of the people, sitting there and administer- . ing government, taking the money of the people and appropriating it without their consent, ignoring the people entirely. . “Mr. President, the czar of Russia is.an . absolute czar. He has a council of 60 men ! who git with him and consider public af-" fairs, but the 60 men:are Russians. They are people of that country, They have their sympathies and their ambitions for: Russia. ; “These men in the Philippine islands are strangers. Under the military law they: have a right there undoubtedly, but under: God’s law, which is higher than that, they have no place there at all. - 2 i “And so I take back what I said two years ago. Imperialism has come; it is there in its worst form, and what I want to khow, like the seriator from Maryland (Mr. Wel-, lington), is, what are you going to do now? Are you going to keep up this imperidlistic government? Are you going to continué to gozvem,{%oob,m_o people contrary to their wish, without a voice, without being l}eard, ; whgn your chief actor over there, Gen.

8., 000 800 ST BTN : @ o e b .u'-%‘k‘ N rH w Foal a 0 : ek ee e NN e o e e AA~NININI NG NN NINI NSNS HIGHWAYS IN FRANCE. Their Maintenance Is Reduced to a System . Which Is Worthy of Praise and Emulation. Nations which possess vast territories and which are in the habit of undertaking vast enterprises are apt to overlook details. And yet, when we stop to think, the perfection of anything and everything lies in the scrupulous attention that is to- be given to details. Instruments of precision only differ with ordinary instruments in care given to details, to small perfections. An invention which is a success is the one in contriving which the inventor has given the most time to smallest particulars. The French have applied that principle to the administration of the maintenance of roads. The greatest attention has been paid to the smallest thing that contributes to the simple mending of a rut. The cantonnier who does the work is one of an administration that includes and employs the most skillful seientists and engineers in the world. The simple stone that he lays to help mend the rut has perhaps occupied 100 minds before it is put in its place. “Useless trouble,” you may say. Not at all. :

The object in the maintenance of roads is to have them all kept in such a state that carriages will roll upon them in the best conditions. It is, then, of. the greatest importance to obviate all obstacles, all sources of resistance to the circulation, and to prevent or stop from the beginning all defects to which roads are liable.

This can only be done by constant overseeing and with a perfect organization of resources at hand, eonsisting of materials and manual labor. . ¢

A single board, placed as shown in the cut, will retain sheep, provided the wall is not too low, since it projects into ibe pasture, and so gives the sheep no chance to gain a foothold upon the top of ‘the wall. The board is shown in a perfectly horizontal position. It can be raised at an angle, if desired, by changing the shape of the bit of board that is nailed to the stake. If the land on both sides of the wall is owned by the same person, the stakes can be driven on the other side of the wall, the top end projecting over the pasture side of the wall, and the board nailed directly to the stake, without any bit of board beneath it.—N. Y. Tribune.

i Give Your Farm a Name. I We name farm animals as a matter of convenience. So should we name| farms. The farm 'with a name has a handle. The owners of farms change. Some die, more sell out and move away. It is hard to -identify farms by the names of their owners or tenants. What was the Jones farm ten years ago may be the Smith farm to-day, and will be the Brown farm ten years hence. Very often indeed lawyers and others would be assisted in their work, misunderstandings and mistakes would be avoided, vexation would be escaped, if farms could be identified by permanent names—names that belonged to them and not to their owners. If farms were named, it would be easy to give a preciseness to legal documents, advertisements, directions about routes, etc., that is impossible in a region of nameless farms.— Country Gentleman. A Horses Have Lonzg Memories, That horses remember their racing days is evidenced by the performance of Rachel 8., 2:281,, by Allie West, at the Meadowlands farm one day last fall. After she had weaned her first colt by Wood Boy, it was decided to turn her out in the infield of the farm track. It was expected that the old mare would crecss the track to the tract of clover in-the infield, but instead she went to the sand, took the outside of the track and jogged around it three times, and then, turning above the wire, took' the pole and went around. She kept going until stopped by the men. The next day when turned out she went through the same performance, and she made ‘it mecessary for the farm to find a new paddock for her.

. FARMING A BUSINESS. Anyone Who Conduéiq Rural Work - on a Different Basis Is Sure to .. Make It a Failure, : Farming is a trade that takes longer to learn than any other. How many times one hears the question asked about some stranger: *“What is his business? lls he a tradesman?” and invariably, if he is a farmer, the reply will be:' “No, just a farmer,” as much as to say, anybody can plow and piant and sow and reap. And almost anyone can to a certain extent. But quite often the most common work of the farmer is done in a way that causes almost total less of his time, his team, and perhaas other help, afrb_ecause he knew no better way in which to do it. Perhaps he may get moderate returns for his labor in some particular case, and not be aware that it is not the best that could have been obtained, it his work had been systematic and thorough. In a great many instances the returns would have been one-half or one-fourth greater. I remember, when I was quite young, asking different tradesmen how long it took them to .earn their trade. The answer would range from cne to five yvears. If the same length of time were devoted to the study of farming, v®e should have more proficient farmers. There are those who have lived and worked on a farm all their lives and yet at the age of 30 or 40 they do not kngw how to farm so as to obtain remunerative results. - There is no place where it pays better to have things done at the proper time than on the farm. The failure of the crops, the unfertility of the soil, the condition of the stock & and an almost endless number of leaks on the farm are traceable to the lack of knowledge of the farmer. He has not learned the trade of farming. Consequently a portion of his labor ard expendit%re are thrown away.—George A. Rose, in Prairie Farmer.

OLD PEACH TREES.

Illinois Fruit Grower, Who Has Had Lots of Experience, Advises i a “Dehorning’” Process,

If any reader has any peach trees that aré old.and oan the decline, or any seedlings bearing poor fruit, dehorn them, cutting the tops all off to short stubs, the outside limbs a little shorter than the others; that will insure a nice pyramidal top when the branches or new top starts next spring. If the tree bore good fruit in its younger days, the fruit will be as good as ever on this new wood. If the fruit was of no wvalue you can have a fine lot of nice, new wood upon which to bud, that will be ready in due time. It is no use to keep your old scraggy trees and poor fruit when it is so easy to have the best; besides, you can make beautiful low-headed trees out of the old unsightly trees. By using a little judgment you can soon learn to do the work well. A sharp saw and plenty of grafting wax to cover the stubs to keep out the water is all the outfit you need. Red paint will do in place of the wax, but it will take two applications to do the work right. You can have a beautiful lot of low-headed trees out of the old ones—trees that you will be proud of, and fruit that will sell on any market. Don’t be afraid. Head them low. Ifiyou have to cut limbs that seem large, no matter. I dehorned some a short time ago and cut limbs four inches. Plenty of wax will save them. Heretofore I have done the work in February, which perhaps is the better time. As to ‘budding, mnearly everyone can do that, as the process has been published many times. Try it; it will pay you well.—J. W. C. Gray, in Farmer’s Voice. -

Can be used on a barn - floor, and in many places around a farm. By laying a board track it can be used to roll barrels of potatoes, ete., from the wagon to bin in cellar. About all the cost of this useful truck will be that of the three casters, which will be 30 to 60 cents. according to size.—J. G. Allshouse, in Ohio Farmer. ' Dls'posing of Farm Buatter, if more butter is made than is consumed in the family. and enough is assured weekly, the better way to market it is to engage the surplus to a party at a uniform price the year round. Depending on stores and hucksters for its sale is unsatisfactory; neither are willing to pay cash, while their prices are fluctuating. The profits of the producer are increased by selling for cash alone. As a general rule, articles offered in exchange for butter by peddlers are unsatisfactory, often wholly unsalable as far as town or city customers are concerned.—Mrs. A. C. McPherson, in Farm and Home. ' Tile Placed Four Feet Deép.
