There's a flavor of old-timeoess'in most of the latest fashions. Witness tha poke-bonnets with their volnrui- noaa strings tied nnder the chin ana tha akin-tight skirts that flare and trail at the hem so reminiscentty of -fifty years ago. In the out of the fig ure iu violet cloth, shown in the large -engraving, we have a costume which might have stepped right out of some anoestral picture-frame, the absence of the pouoh bodioe front, the entire lack of sleevef ul ness upon the shoulder and tha tendency to skirt-drapery are to be notioed first of all. The frook's material is a smooth-faced cloth in parina violet. A direotoire bat in vraT felt and trimmed with white gauze draperies mingled with violet velvet completes the costume. The Frincesae out of frock is mnob affected. If not the Prinoesse proper, it ia the Prinoesse effect, or at least at part Prinoesse model. The gown of liiega cloth trimmed with guipure, shown in the large out, for instance, has the regulation twisting skirt, but with a PrinceHse tunio, the latter be ing so cleverly out as to form a pointed , Kouave in frout with a crossover aprou. Itiege-colored satin-faced cloth is the material employed. The trimming , consists of fancy steel button and a coarse guipure iu black.

With this frock is worn toque in white cloth, having a brim of black fox and draped with a scarf of white gauze with long, fringed ends. Zibeline continues to hold its own as a dress material. In the first akotoh in the large cut we have a cos tume in pastel green zibeline, trimmed with narrowest borders of black as trakau and velvet of precisely the same shade as the cloth. The long, pointed tunic, of cloth, has an edging of the astrakan as has the underskirt of the velvet, stitched vertically. Taken all in all, this irock exhibits a notable number of the newest notions tn dress. Many etitoYmgri a lorn tha ' frock shown iu the last out of tho large group, and as they follow a spreading, scalloped design thoy have almost the effeot of row npoit row of narrow braiding.

In coutrast to the straight-backed coat is the chio little velvet Eton jaoket pictured in the large cut. It is tight-fitting and double-breasted, aud it boasts the highest of high collars. Broad, pointed revers of fox give eharaoter to the jaoket front, the col lar being iur-linod also.

Hammer ur Winter It Is a Itonml of ITn- cteaelnB Toll Victims of the Ileeent Billiard The .hearing- Reanon Mar veluntljr Intelligent Uoga. People who put on heavy woclons have little idea of the dangers faced by the men who make it possible for them to have these garments to wear. Only a week or two ago the dispatches told of the heavy loss of lile in tho blizzards which swept over Northern Montana. Many cheep herders were can gut out in these terrible storms, and periahed rather than desert tho flocks thev were hired to toud. One of them. William Graham, after try ing hard through a fearful night to get his herd into camp, came back to his tent about midnight, exhausted. Thoroughly conscious of what his fate would bn were he to venture out agaiu, he wrote a note, telling of his condition and his determination to return agaiu into the night aud seek his sheep. When the blizzard had abated in force the searchers found him stretched upon the snow, dead. One of his dogs had stayed to guard his master's body, and the other had gone in search of .the herd.' Many other pitiable tales of suffering are told, aud still many more never will reaoh the ears of Eastern folk. For the greater part of the year the life of the sheep herder on the plains is oue of monotonous, hard, unceasing toil. Iu Kansas rain seldom falls, and in summer, even, day follows day in a constant succession of cloudless blue sky and fervent sunshine. The shepheid has nothing to look at, therefore, but sky and earth, blend ing vaguely in the distant horizon, his flock forming the only object whioh diversifies the prospect. He hears no sound except the plaintive bleating of his sheep, and the ouly things to interest him are the insane ly merry gambols of his lambs aud the readiness with whioh the ewes pick out their own offspring merely by the ability to distinguish the cry of thek own young, eves though it be among the bleating of 600 others. When "the scab breaks out among the flock every sheep must be sheared, washed and auointed with some medi cament to destroy the disorder. When the sheep-sheanug season ar rives tho shepherds, who have led such lonely lives all tho rest of the year, flud themsolves in the midst of a crowd. Men in all of the railroad towns in the vicinity of sheep-raising districts who make a business of shearing the animals come out to the ranches in great companies. Camps are formed and the lonely corrals are transformed into bustling, humming villages. Nothing has been found as yet whioh will do the work of shear ing a sheep so well and satixfaotorily as the old-fashioned shears which were in use in the days when the mas ters painted their first pictures and the poets sang their first songs of beautiful shepherdesses aud hand some shepherds provided with crooks and pipes. sheep shearers are paid for their work at a certain rate for evory sheep they shear, so they work rapidly. On every sheep ranou is a large, - Imp: wooden building, the wool shed, in which are openings communicating with the peus where the sheep are kept while shearing is in progress. A shearer goes into one of the pens, seizes a sheep by one of its hind legs, drags it into the wool shed through one of the openings made for the pur pose, and with a deftness as swift in iU results as the "presto, change!" of the magician, transforms the creature from a thickly covered, woolly sheep into a shorn, naked-looking, chilled and quaking spectre, whioh, permitted to escapo from the hands of him who despoiled it so ruthlessly of its fleece, runs through a door at the opposite side of the wool shod and agaiu re sumes its nibbling rambles over the prairie. , An important functionary at this time is the tar boy, a la J with a bucket of tar and a brush. While there is nothing whatever whioh tho most fauatioal advocate ot kindness to dumb creatures could construe as cruelty in the shearing of sheep, nevertheless, even the most careful shearer occa sionally snips the flesh with his shears. When such an acoident happens ho yells "Tar!" With his brush the lad smears a little tar over the nipped place, for nothing is so healing to wounds on a sheep's back as pine tar. A first-class shearer on a Western ranch will shear from eighty to 100 sheep between eunriss aud sunset. Experts frequently shear 125 in a day, but the average for shearers is lome where between fifty and sixty a day. One of the diversions of shearing time is a fighiA-etweon rams. Many of these creatures, notwithstanding their timidity iu the presence of other animals, are extremely pugna cious toward one another, aud quar rels among them are frequent, the prinoipal cause being a rivalry for a particular ewe'd favor. When a chal lenge has been issuod and accepted the rivals back away ten or twelve paces from eaoh other and then both lower their heads aud make for each other in a straight line with a force and speed whioh oue would hardly accredit to them, Bang I go the two heads. But the crashing blow does not seem to have the slightest effect on either of them. Again they run back several paces and advance with the velocity of an avalanche. Agaiu their heads go crashing and smashing together, and again neither apparent ly is any the worse for the concussion, This process is repeated more times than is necessary to recount, until the shepherds, weary of the sport, stampede the duelists. . . There are many magnifioent sLep herd dogs on the sheep ranches. The intelligence of these atimals is simply marvelous. At night the shepherds ride out on their ponies, accompanied by the dogs, and drive the sheep into the corral or inolosure, the dogs be ing the chief factors in this work Through the day the shepherd lounges about on a small knoll which com mauds a view of the sheep. lis faithful dogs are always with him and should their sharp eyes etB0' that a sheep inoliues to stray too far from its fellows, tha dogs of their own ac cord rush out and drive it in. Some times a prairie wolf will make so bold to rise from tar hiding place and seize a lamb. Then shepherd, po.y ' and dog have an exoiting sprint over the country, although the chase usu ally is fruitless, for nothing in tht shape of horseflesh has the speed ot endnrauoe of a prairie wolf. When alone sheep make some effort to pro tect themselves against predatory nni mals. They form themselves into o circle and strive to present a deter mined front; but should tho enemj persovere they soon scamper away. Many sections of tho West an adapted to sheep raking, and to littU else. There is unlimited pasture on the great plains and prairies. Sheer, flourish best in the dry atmosphere ol the far Western States. More anci more men are going in for sheep mis ing every year, and already tho capital invested is enormous. The large number of brokers here in Now York who handle domestic wool exclusively illustrates the .wonderful expansion ol sheep raising iu this country within the last few years. The sheep raisers get n great deal of their stock from Mexico. Few per sons not interested in the sheep in dustry Lave the slightest idea of how greatly e are ludebted to the sistet republio for the replenishing ol out flocks. Hundreds of thousands ol sheep are driven into the Lnited States every year from the land of the Moutezuraas, most ot them gomg to the far Western States. Sheep are bred extensively in several Southern States, but the scope of the Southern industry compared with that of the West is insignificant. Nor do the Southern breeders make much of an attempt to improve the character ol their flocks. Western breeders, how ever, devote much thought aud care to the improvemeut of the different breeds, and evory year they strive tc bring forth a-better quality of lambs. The opportunities offered by sheer raising have made many Western ranchmen extremely rich. In Kansae alone are six sheep raisers who count their accumulations in seven figures. It is said that the United States can not produce woolen fabrics equal iu quality to those made abroad. But we have just as good machinery and facilities here and our workmen are more intalligect, so it would seem thf.t we should equal, if not surpass, the fabric makers on tho other side. The troublo, however, lies iu the fact that we have not been able to produce as yet as good a quality of wool. The sheep-raising industry in Europe has existed from time immemorial almost, while iu the United States it is still in its infancy. Little or no attention has been paid by our sheep raisers in ihe past to improving the breeds, but this error is being corrected now. The sheep in the West ure far dif ferent in appearance from those in the East. Their legs are longer, their noses taper more and tho wool is much thicker upon their backs and sides. New York Press. CURIOUS FACTS. A boat 2000 years old has been dis covered in excavating near Brussels, Belgium. A polite Chinaman considers it a breach of etiquette to wear spectacles in company. Mexican dollars are current all over China, aud when they cannot be had blook silver, uncoined, is used. The boots worn by Napoleou Bona parte at his coronation were sold the other day near Altkirch, Alsace, for about $6. Oermany still clings to the ponder ous keys of the middle ages, and keys weighing from an ounce upward have to be "carted" around. Judge J. C. Tennjson, of Pelham, Ga., has on exhibition in a local store a potato grown on his farm the past season which measures nearly three feet in length. A valuable aow is possessed by John Milton, of Gardiner, Me. It is usual ly milked three times a day, and re cently gave, in one da y, thirty-four and a half quarts of milk. An electric organ placed in an Eng lish church possesses 64,500 miles ol wire. The aotion of the orgau is so rapid that it woald "repeat," if neces sary, Bixty times per second. A Saracen constructed the first table of sines, another explained the nature of twilight and showed the importance of allowing for atmospheric refraction in ustronomioal observations. After a recent tornado in Australia thousands of water snakes were found on the beach in one place, while in auother the beach was entirely washed away, leaving nothing but bare rocks. -There are "peroxide" horses in New Yorh City.

WHAT'S TO BE SEEN IN Ol'rt NEW PACIFIC ISLAND. The Flrat Mglit la Dliappolntlnir, Tttir It If ma Uuoct I'olnte Which tiro w on Yon Ilia Native Holilleri it la Strategi cally Very Important. Concerning Guam, our new posses sion iu the Ladrone Islands, n corre spondent of the New York Sun who went thither in the U, S. S. Yosemite writes as follows: The first sight of Guam wr.o rather disappointing. There were several rain Bqnnlls on the horizon, aud in reply to the questioner, the lookout picKed out the blackest lookiug squall, and said: "That's Guam, nirl" As the squall disappeared, the island de veloped into a bold mountainous range, not altogether tropicd in aspect. In stead of the thick forests and heavy foliage of the Philippine mountains, the hills in Guam are rather barren looking, the trees are clustered together, whilo the red clay soil shows through in patches here and there. s the ship approached nearer, the lowlands came into view, aud the thick groves of cocoanut treer, mangoes, and banauas proved that the reports of the fertility of the island are not without foundation. Tho harbor of Sun Luis de Apra is by for the host of any iu the whole Ladrone group, being sheltered in All weather except southwest gales. On entering, tho ship pressed close to Orote Peninsula, a high promontory forming the southern boundary of the harbor, and then swinging to the northward, she anchored under the lee of Cabras Island, whioh forms the northern shelter. Extending in a cir cular direction from the end of Cabras Island is a coral roef bare at low water, and coining within a ship's length of Orote Poiut, giving the harbor the shape of a horseshoe. Occasionally, during tho wet season, a swell rolls in over the barrier reef, but for the greater part of the year the harbor is quiet and smooth. Ono serious draw back to the harbor lies in the diffi culty of landing cargo, owing to the coral growth which extends out for more than a miio from the shore. A pier could readily be built, but the easiest and cheapest solution of the problem is to send out from the United States several small wooden stern wheel steamers, drawing only a few inches of water, and thus capable of passing over the inner reef nt all stages if the tide. Around the shores of the harbor are several towns, Sournay, San LuiB de Apra and Piti. The last named is the port of entry for the island, und con sists of two stone buildings and about a dozen native huts. The first sight of the town was Dot interesting, for the place is on low land, aud just now in the rainy season, is mostly under water. A few minutes sufficed to tako in the sights, consisting of natives, water buffaloes and dogs, and then through the kind offices of the principal id habitant, a Mr. Wilson, the party ob tained a carriage aud drove up to Agana, the capital of the Island. The road is about four miles long, and has been an excellent one, but at present it is sadly in need of repair. It winds in and out among cocoanut groves, nnder overhanging cliffs, crosses sev eral little mountain streams, aud just before reaching the city gives n splen did view of Agana Bay, the whole northern half of the island, and the mighty Pacific Ocean. Before judg: ing Agana one must consider the point of view. Lookiug at it with the knowl edge that Spain has been here several centuries, one wonders that there ia so little. Realizing that the large majority of the natives are only semi civilized, the place presents a very creditable appearance. The streets are regularly laid out, and are clean, the houses are whitewashed and neat in appearance, aud there are no street loafers or beggars hanging around. The better class, that is the foreign ers and half castes, live in stone houses, with the inevitable red tiled roof. The natives live in frame houses with thatched roofs. The point of interest in the town is the plaza, on which are situated tho palaoo, the barracks and the cathe dral. These are quite respectable looking buildings from the outside, but on close iuspeotiou the palace aud barraoks were found to be in a filthy condition, with no attempt at sanita tion, and with the dirt of years left undisturbed. Bofore the Americans can occupy those buildings there will have to bo a thorough house cleaning from top to bottom, and a plentiful distribution of disinfecting material. The cathedral is solidly built, with no pretenso at ornamentation. Within, two things struck the visitor as strange, an organ, and a sign request ing the congregation not to bring their dogs into church. The town boasts of two distilleries, where la tuba is made. This is made by fermenting aud distilling the Hap of the cocoanut tree, aud it is said that it can give points to Jersey light ning. The natives take to it kiudly, however. All the stone buildings have thick walls and heavy ironwood rafters supporting the roof. They ore built in this manner to withstand tho earthquake shocks, whioh are of fre quent occurrence, though rarely se vere. Typhoons occasionally visit the island, but do little harm beyond blowing down a few trees oud knock ing down some of the native huts. Outside of Agana the native huts are built of palmleat matting, with bam boo beams and rafters. In a heavy gale these huts go down like a house of cards; a few hours after tho gale the houses are up again and nobody is the worse for tho experience The population of Agana is estimat sd at about 7000 souls, of whom the better class, who are aUo the control ling olass, number about 100. Siuce the place was captursd by the Charles ton in Jane, 1898, there have been several aotiug Governors appointed who have kept law and order in the island, but have allowed publio works and buildings to fall into disrepair. They are not altogether to blame, for during the past year they have boen in a state ot uncertainty. There have been rumors on ihe islaud that Guam was to be returned to Spaiu, aud no man cared to bo overzealous iu his loyalty to the United States for fear that he would suffer for it if Spain re sumed her rule. Their doubts are iww set at rest by the arrival of Gov ernor Lenry and the promulgation of his proclamation. The people are glad to be under American rule, and al ready arches are going up in the streets and committees are being formed to welcome the Governor when he takes up his official residence in Agana. The natives are peaceful and gentle in disposition. The Filipino cou victs, sent here from Manila, seom to bo the only dislnrbing element on the island. These Filipinos triad to in augurate a revolution Inst March, but the plot was nipped in the bud by tho naval officer iu charge hero at the time. There are several schools on the island, but education is not gen eral. The native is indolent, aud he can soe no ben o(H in education. Ho works if he pleases, and after a fow days knocks off with money enough to keep him the rest of tho year. It costs him nothing to build bin house', and if he is "out of work aud out of funds there are the breadfruit trees, tho cocoannts and tho bananas grow ing wild. Why should ho disturb his siesta? In the past there was an ad ditional reason why lie should not work; he was taxed heavily for every thing he owned. When the natives cultivate- the fields, they rarely lire an tho laud they till. Instead they profor to group themselves iu little villages, of which there are a number scattered about the island. When it comes harvesting time, all the men assemble ou one plantation, build a hut, and live and work together gathering in the crop. When they have finished, the whole body of them move to the next plantation. It is also au occa sion for merry-making, iu which la tuba plays -au important part.' There is rarely any disorder, but when neoeHsary to quell a disturbance .tho force is furnished by a company of native artillery, the only military force on tho islaud between tho evacuation by the Spanish troops and the arrival of the Yosemite. Every oue unites in praising these native soldiers. Their behavior is excollcnt, aud their appearauce ia surprisingly neat and military. Guam is an islaud of great possi bilities. Strategically, it is important in being a liuk iu the chaiu between San Fraucisoo and Manila. Commer cially, it may be important, but nt present little is kuown of its re sources, as the island has never been developed. It is known, however, that the land is extremely fertile coffee, cocoanuts, lemons, limes, corn, sugar cane, all grow with buo littlo at tention further than the planting. Few other vegetables or cereals have been tried, but there is littlo doubt that the experiments to be undertaken will prove that the productivity of the land is general. Cattle of the water buffalo variety thrive well, but horses do not. In fact tnere are only twenty-two horses ou the whole island, aud they are owned only by the wealthy class. It is not au uncom mon sight to see a native astraddle of a buflalo, galloping unconcernedly along the inuddy paths. Goats, .pig-i and deer roam wild all over the isl and. Copra, the dried kerne! of the co coanut, is the principal ertiolo of ex port. The other products are raised for home consumption only. It is not known what minerals there are in the island, because nobody has ever tried to find out. Building material is plentiful; lime is mado by burning the coral iu a kiln, and this, mixed with the broken coral stone, can be shaped or plastered, and becomes hard when exposed to the air. This is the material used for the walls of the houses. For the roadbeds the coral is mixed with the red cloy, and when smoothed down hardens aud be comes like a cemented road. There are several kinds cf lumber, the most valuable being tho iron wood. This is used iu the floors cf the houses, the rafters, etc. It is ex ceedingly hard and heavy, and resists all insects, even the teredo when used for piles iu the wharves. Some of tho inhabitants say that the floors in their houses are more than oue hundred years old, and there appears no neces sity for jltloval. The woodwork of a house t u ;. monger to complete thou the raasci'.y. There mo no sawmills, and evory plank must be out out by hand. In fact, tho nc.tive'a idea of architecture aud of agriculture are of the most primitive order. A saw and a hatchet for iho first, the foi'K of a tree as a plow and a machete for farm ing are his idea of tools, aud with these he works patiently away to tho eud. If it is not finished to-dny, no mutter, to-morrow will do; time is no matter to him. The climate of Guam is fairlj pleas nut, and very healthful. Tho island in situated in latitude thirteen de grees twenty-six minutes north and lougitude 14 4 degraes forty minutea east, and is beyond tho reach of tho monsoons, and withia the traJewind belt. As tho ialr.nd is only thirty tiles long and has than ten miles wide, the iufluono cf the trade wind is felt througho!-."; i'-.-i wee, aud the heat of tho tropical ovn is tampered thereby. Fevers are a'.i.'.03t unknown, and there are few of tie tropical dis eases here. UnfortuuV.uly thero aro a few cases of leprosy, ')''. a lepei'K were confined in a h'oRpitc',, hut wheu the Kpauiut Js evacuated the island, tho lepers were released aud are now scattered and bidden about the island. One of the Jlrst duties of the medical officer will be Jo corral and segregnte these unfortuuates. Tho raiuy season lasts from May to Ooto ber, und during this time it rains hard, giving a gloomy aspect to every thing. Once the rainy season has passed, for the remaining months of the your it is bright, pleasant weather, with cold, bracing nights. Eventually Guam will have trail o communications, a cable will bo lamlod, and the people will bo iu touch with tho world, but at present greater isolation could hardly bo im agined. There is no oommeroial route whioh iucludes the inland, and communication is den,cudent upon r.u occasional army transport o.' a man-of-war stoppiug in the harbor. It comes hardest ou the pioneers on the Yosemite, marooned, as one officer laughingly expressed it, but there iu a cheery spirit and an eager desire to work on the part of all to do their share iu the development of our coun try.
