' IN FASHION'S REALM.
Thin Ih the Year of Lace Instead of
Grace.
So much lace is seen this season that i
one may call it tlie year of lace iu
stead of grace. Scarcely anything is
made now without it somewhere, even j
the most unpromising materials, such ;
as hopsacking and burlap. When ac- J
tual lace is uot added, the line and or- !
nate castle braids come in.and th»y I
have almost as much lightness as lace j
itself. Luce is put on waists, 011 !
sleeves, on skirts and flounces, and
whole dresses are made of it, and
these are trimmed with still more—
that is to say. the dress is made of all
over uet, and the trimming is added in ;
so many ways that it would l>e a dtf- j
fieult task to meutiou one-hundredth of |
the number. But most often black is
added to white and white is set on
black. A case in point is shown in the
illustration, where the dress is made
of black chiffon, which should come
under the head of lace, and there are
BLACK CHIFFON DINNER GOWN.
rows of white Insertion in even lines
above the hem. This skirt is cut quite
straight and gathered at the waist.
The two rows of white lace around the
bottom are but part of the general
scheme, for the belt is the same, and
the deep flounce to the sleeves is also
trimmed with it. These insertion laces
are so planned that they can be set
011 edges by gathering the upper edge
and sewing it as though it were a bor
der. Filet lace is quite a new one for
this kind of trimming, and it has prov
ed very effective. The Irish and other
real Inces are quite as popular as they
have been, but the very heavy vane- j
ties are in less demand, as most of the 1
gowns and other garments are of light
er material, and to look its best the
thick lace requires cloth, velvet and
other rich material.
An innovation in sleeves is to have
the sleeve ] roper end at or just below
the elbow in a puff and a deep flounce
left open on the forearm or cut so that
' he back portion is at least three times
onger than the front. Of course this I
elates only to the regular dress sleeves j
ind not to the separate waists or
shirt waists.
The shirt waist, as a whole, is too
.treat a subject for complete discus
don. but a few words may be said re
garding a few of the newest ideas.
The waists differ very little from those
it last summer. Whatever difference
here is consists more in the arrange
nent of the plaits and the front fold
han anything. The very newest is to
lave the fold laid at the shoulder just
bove the arm size, and this goes diag
■nally to the center of the front at the
jottom. This leaves the whole front
ooking somewhat like a shield bosom
•d shirt. In many Instances these
'ronts are then left perfectly smooth,
iut in others there are many line tucks
.long the front fold. All waists are
touched quite as much as they ever
lave been, but the pouching is all
irought quite close to the middle in
ront. This leaves the back and sides
rim and neat, with no bagginess.
'here are no yokes to the shirt waists
112 whatever kind for tins season, and
he most of them have 110 plaits or
ucks at the back. The back is fin
shed with a couple of plaits taken in
t the bottom only.
Perhaps 1 should not say that 110
.aists are tucked at the back, for
lany are, but the tucks reach to the
boulder and do not finish with a yoke,
ome of the shield shaped fronts are
diculous, but others are pretty—for
ender persons, but let tin; stout ones
■•ware of them. It would appear that
ie object of them is to produce' the
ppearance of width over the shoul
ers. Some of these s'deld shapes
ave bretelles down the back to the
?lt.
I see but few waists buttoning in the
ack, while many of those' fastening
1 front have such pretty arrange
cntsof the buttons that they are real
• ornamental, besides being useful,
he taffeta waists are laid in tucks,
•me both back and front. The tucks
•e in clusters of small ones, with one
rge one between. Sometimes this
ide one is overlaid with lace or line
ncy braid and ribbon, silk or velvet,
II in between the holes.
Black velvet ribbon Is still largely
ed to trim such waists and also line
übroidery. In short, one can have
tythlng almost in the way of a shirt
slst, and It will be all right.

STORY OF A FIGHTER
HOW A CROCKERY STORE CLERK
BECAME HEAD OF THE ARMY.
nrillitint MilUur> Career of (ienernl
Nelson A. Mites—Coniinattilcil an
Army Corps at the Vjie of Tweutj
■ it—Three Time* Wounded.
I Should Lieutenant General Nelson A.
1 Miles carry out his threat to resign if
1 the army bill now before congress be
conies a law or should lie be summari
ly retired there would be ended a most
picturesque and brilliant military ca
reer.
i It is a career that had its beginning
I over forty years ago when, as a tall
young clerk iu a Boston crockery store,
lie took the first step in the profession
which was to bring him great renown.
Young Miles was a born lighter, lie
had an innate love of military a flairs.
This led him in INX) to join a militia
company. His first drillmaster was an
old French officer in Boston.
From that time 011, when not selling
pots and pans, lie spent his time in
drill. Crockery had lost its charm. A
soldier was born. The clerk had start
ed on the path to military glory.
When Fort Sumter was fired upon,
the young warrior was ready. Though
still a mere youth, he was competent to
command. lie organized a company of
volunteers and borrowed money to
equip it. His extreme youth caused
the governor of Massachusetts to re
fuse him a captain's commission, and
he joined the Federal forces as a lieu
tenant. In a few months he had proved
his ability and was made captain.
With the Twenty second Massachu
setts he joined the Army of the Poto
mac and promptly distinguished him
self at Fair Oaks, where he was wound
ed in the foot. General O. <>. Howard
in his report commended him for gal
lant action. The battles Allen's Farm,
Savage's Station, C.lendale and Mal
vern Hill followed. Captain Miles was
in them all. General Caldwell, who
commanded the brigade, praised him
highly in his official report.
When the gallantry of Colonel Bar
low caused that officer to be promoted
to the rank of brigadier general after
Antietam, Captain Miles was in turn
promoted to be colonel of the Sixty
first New York, lie had reached this
high command when less than two
months beyond the age of twenty-two.
111 the battle of Fredericksburg lie
was wounded in the neck. When in
LIEUTENANT GENERAL NELSON A. MILES.
May, IS«'.3, Hooker fought the battle of
Chancellorsville, Colonel Miles again
performed most valuable service at a
critical point and at a critical moment.
The following day Miles was seriously
wounded in the groin.
At Spottsylvania General Miles was
still more hotly engaged. I lis brigade,
with that of Brooks, was in the tirst
line of attack 011 the Confederate posi
tion. The attack was made with great
success. The intrenchments were car
ried. Johnston's division, several thou
sand strong, twenty pieces of artillery
and thirty stand of colors were cap
tured.
General Miles had entered the army
as a mere boy. He rose so rapidly dur
ing the conflict that at its close he was
a major general. He was then but
twenty-six years of age. He had
fought through all the great battles of
the Army of the Potomac save one.
General Miles was active until the
close of the war. In February, 1805,
when but twenty-six years old, he com
manded the Second army corps, to
which distinction he had risen by bril
liant and daring work. Never before
had an American officer at that age
commanded so large a body of sol
diers.
Perhaps the world best knows Gen
eral Miles as au Indian fighter. liis
work 011 the frontier is so familiar and
has been made so much more promi
nent than were his achievements in
the civil war that many forget his
early fighting career. In this impor
tant work a belt of country extending
from the Mexican to the Canadian bor
ders and more than -100 miles wide
was redeemed from the savages and
given to civilization. General Mi lea
was the directing head of the opera
tions which accomplished this great
result.
General Miles as senior major gener
al succeeded to command of the army
In 1895. In June, l!»oo, he was raised
to the rank of lieutenant general. He
was born In Westminster, Mass., in
lßol>. His wife was Mary Sherman,
niece of General William Tecumseh
Bhcrmnn.
Men sometimes dream of enormous
wealth stored deep in the earth, below
the reach of miners, but according to
the statements of Professor C. B. Van
1 llse at the Denver meeting of the
American Association lor the Ad
vancement of Science there Is little or
no ground to belie that valuable me
tallic deposits lie vein deep in the
earth's crust. Such deposits, lie said,
are made b* underground waters, and,
owing to the pressure 0.1 the rocks at
great depths, the waters are conliucd
to a shell near the surface. With few
exceptions ere deposits become too lean
to repay working below .'!,O0o feet.

vol X(i OFFICIAL SET
NEW FACTOR IN SOCIETY AND POLI- ,
TICS AT WASHINGTON.
MiftN Alice of a
4«n> Col eric oi <»irl* »ii iJic Nutioiml
Capitiil—Kxcltisiv« m Ciri'le u I'owep j
In Sm'iul Mailers.
With the close of Lent and there- 1
1 turn of Miss Alice Roosevelt from <'u I
bathe young official set in Washing- j
ton will renew the social gayety which j
I has been such a feature of the w inter !
j season at the national capital. Since >
1 Miss Roosevelt's <lebut she has been !
the dictator of this youthful court,
known as the "junior official set." ,
Though still but a debutante, she has
1 the power of a Mrs. Astor and can ,
make or unmake the careers of the |
pretty girls and ambitious men who j
are glad to follow in her train.
From the time that she made her i
initial bow to society she has shown |
that she was able to hold the reins of j
leadership, and handle them wisely.
The young women in this set are all |
winsome, and many of them are beau- ;
ties. Fortunately they are singularly |
free from anything savoring of affect a- j
I tion. It may be truthfully said that .
the belles in the White House coterie j
contributed largely to the social charm j
of the season just past.
Another thing to be reckoned with
is the political power that may be ex- j
erted by these young women. Daugh
-1 ters frequently succeed in influencing
1 their fathers where wives would fail,
and old timers already recognize the j
possibilities of influence from that di
rection.
Although not quite eighteen when
she made her bow, Miss Alice Roose
velt showed mueli grace when she as
sumed the responsibility of the young
set at the capital. Several of her at- !
tractive cousins visited her during the
winter. Of these girls Cornelia Roose
velt-Scovel is most widely known. She
is the daughter of a singer and has
chosen an operatic career. Miss Helen
Roosevelt, daughter of Mr. .T. Roose
velt-Roosevelt. was brought out dur
ing the winter by her grandmother,
Mrs. Astor. Several other cousins of
the president's daughter have been
prominent at the capital.
Naturally Miss Roosevelt is often
seen with the daughters of the cabi
net officers. Alice Hay, Rebecca Knox.
Edith Root and I.ouisc Van Dyke
Jones comprise the young members of
this group.
Miss Rebecca Page Knox is the lat
est recruit to the cabinet girls. Miss
MISS REBECCA KNOX.
i Knox is an expert horsewoman and
! looks her best on her pretty bay mare.
! She handles a whip with skill and
! spends much of her time with her fa-
I ther, who, sis well known, is devot-
I ed to riding and driving. Miss Knox
] is not a votary of Vanity Fair. She
I prefers athletic sports to the pleasures
; of the drawing room, but she has ac-
I cepted her position with quiet dignity
i and is accounted a valuable aid to Mrs.
and Miss Roosevelt at the White House
j drawing rooms.
Miss Anne and Miss Margaret Hitch
cock, daughters of the secretary of the
: interior, are two charming young wo
men, whose residence at tlie courts of
i Vienna and St. Petersburg lias famil
! iarized them with the gay world. They,
1 have studied social conventions very
closely and are valuable adjuncts to
the suit of the young lady who rules
the young women's world of Washing-
I ton. The Misses Hitchcock before
their father entered public life were
prominent in the stately society of St.
j Louis.
Miss Edith Root, the only daughter
of the secretary of war, is another
charming member of this select set.
She is of medium height, with a fair
complexion, dark eyes and an oval
face. Iler crowning beauty is her hair,
which is dark and rippling and crowns
her small, wT'll shaped bead like a cor-
I onet. Miss Root is a wholesome, un
| affected girl, who meets all with a
: frank cordiality that is very winning.
Her popularity with the gallant sons
of Mars is unrivaled. It needs 110 or
der from headquarters to call out the
officers on the days that Mrs. and Miss
i Root receive.
Miss Mabel Hanna's much discussed
engagement to young Harry Parsons
has brought that somewhat original
young woman once more to the fore
ground. One has heard very little of
Miss Mabel since the well remembered
debut of her far more popular sister,
Ruth. Miss Hanna's health is far
from good, and she cares very little
for the Washington social season.

DUROC-JERSEY HOGS.
Red llnpidly Gronlns In fa
vor W illi Farmer*.
The famous Poland-China hog now
has a rival that is up 011 his toes, a
good stepper and as a scale puller has
no peer. His modern name is Duroc
Jersey, says a correspondent of Swine
Breeder's Journal. Where on earth
before did a breed of lion's spring into
such favor and prominence in so short
II time as has the red in the past
few years? My first introduction as a
breeder of the reds was nearly a half
bcore years ago, when they were scarce
and many of (lie fair associations
would not give thein a class alongside
their forty-second white and black
cousins competing for premiums and
supremacy. Now the Duroc- Jersey cau

There is no better cross for port:

tling constitution of the Duroc Jersey
male Is always apparent in hi- prog
eny, producing strong bone, large
frame and vigorous growth when
properly fed and cared for.
The Chester White is a little more
attractive In form and perhaps a lit
tie easier feeder, but I think the
Duroc-Jersey Is somewhat ahead in
growth and size at maturity I be
Ileve from my own experience with
them, as well as others, they are the
hog for the business farmer to"tie to,"
as they are very prolific and hardy
Most all Duroc breeders, I believe,
have mated their breeding stock with
a view of "cutting out" all specimens
showing black hair or spots on the
skin and are working to produce a sol
Id cherry and uniform colored hog. In
fact, the Duroc-Jersey now is as near
the single color as any existing one
colored breed of swine. The Duroc-
Jersey has come to stay, and well In
front ranks, and all breeders should
lend tlieir best thought and judgment
In perpetuating to a still higher stand
ard of perfection this grand and peer
less breed.

In 2GS I?. C., Archimedes devised a

Her three lofty masts had been

apartments abounded, and one of her
banqueting halls was paved with agate
and costly Sicilian stone. Other floors
were cunningly inlaid with scenes from
the "Iliad." Stables for many horses,
ponds stocked with live tish, gardens
watered by artificial rivulets and hot
baths were provided for use or amuse

\nliic* of Angoras.
At the twentieth annual meeting of
the California Angora Coat Breeders'
association Mr. Wright of Merced
county said that he owned over 2,000
head of Angoras and that his clip av
eraged between four and five pounds
of mohair per head. His goats paid
the best interest of any of his live
stock. He had tried shearing twice a
year, but believed that he received
more money and less trouble by shear
ing once a year. This year he had
raised over 100 per cent increase. His
goats live principally upon oak brush.
In the fall he runs them upon barley
stubble.
Auroras From Turkey.
For a number of years goatmen and
j the government have been trying to
get the sultan to allow new blood to
be exported from Turkey to America.
The sultan had absolutely refused to
allow any to leave the Ottoman em
pire. At last Dr. W. C. Bailey has made
a trip into the heart of Asia Minor,
and he has selected and exported, not
without considerable personal risk,
four of as fine animals as could be
found In the best Mohair districts of
Turkey, says American sheep Breeder.
These goats bring the o- !y new blood
to America which lias come directly

t'nrm'tl Words of the Yeildee*.
The Yezidees, a peculiar Turkish
sect, are perhaps the only people in the
world which consider certain letters,
>vords and phrases as being cursed and
the person who pronounces them a
worthy subject for immediate destruc
tion. They attach no value to human
life, and to these ordinary dangers are
added those arising from the embar
rassing etiquette of conversational in
tercourse with them, for if any one in
advertently speaks the word "devil,"
"Satan" or anything with the same
meaning he commits a mortal offense,
and to cut off his head is a Cod pleas
ing act. a sacred duty of the Yezidee,
the fulfillment of which will insure
him a place in paradise.
In a like manner several letters are
i "wholly banished from their language,
chiefly those which contain the sound
of "shun." The Arabian word nallct,
"Thou art damned," is also expunged
because it is believed by the Yezidees
to have been the word uttered by God
! when the fallen angels were thrown
! into hell. These nnd similar wonlt urn 1 .

which do not belong to any language
