To Set the Color in Gingham. To set the color in ginghara, the pgham dress may be dippel in a . bucket of cold soft water before wash. ing. Madras may be treated in the same manper, which frequently will set the color. A better way, however, is to try a piece of the dress by dip- ping first into salt water, then washing it, next time dipping it into an acid water before washing. In whichever way the color seems best preserved the whole garmegt roay be wished. — Ladies’ Home Journal. The Well-Dressed Woman, The well-dressed woman is not only woll gowned, but all the small details of her toilet are given considerstion. Her hair, skin and nails show evi- dences of care and painstaking, sod her clothing has not only been well msde, but is well kept. There are fome women who think it almost sinful to pay much attention to dress aud per- sonal este and to look well dressed and stylish is quite beneath their ambition. But believe me, Share is no sin in . ways trying to your best, an that the game is well worth the candle will show in the influence upon your home, husband and children. The well-dressed woman is no the ose who dresses the most extravagant - iy, orjemploys the most fashionable pssmaker; nor is she the ono who affects all ulra-styles and fads in dress; but it is she who is always con- sinteutly dressed with regard to time, place, occasion, age and the size of her husband's or father's income. The ever-bright jewel of eonsistency is never more beautiful than when shown in the matter of dress in theses days when so many showy and pretty bau- bles are designed and offered for wom- an's alorument.

Buckles remain a prominent part of dressy gowns. The lawn shirt waists are pretty and dressy over silk or muslin waists of red, pink or blue. The pretty dock costumes in white or colors, in plain or fancy effects, are in grester vogue than ever this year. Plain colored poult de soie snd very lovely tinted taffetas are likewise among the favored sutnmn fabrics for evening toilets, Tinted horse chestnut blossoms are very prettily worn on biege-colored beach hats of Milan braid trimmed with ficelle lace and brown satin rib- bon. The sailor suit for boys is still the favorite, the full knee trousers fas. tened at the knee with a band and buckle. A hat to match completes the boy's costume. Very smart and pretty are some of the new Freuch bonnets for youthful wearers, made of white straw and trimmed with white satin ribbon of . good width, white lilac sprays, and a Rhinestone buckle. For a figure not too tall, a skirt of fine, sheer cashmere, accordion plaited its entire length, in black, gray or cream white, is a very pretty and one to melect to wear with funcy wai.zs of every kind and color. Plaid muslins are found in lovely combinations, such as pink and cream, le green and white, and black and white. Two beautiful and uncommon designs recently seen were a pale heliotrope with two shades of pink, and a deep yellow containing a touch | of orange combined with cream. A stylish dress has the skirt plainiy made and finished at the hem with a teu-inch-wide trimming of plaid silk. The waist is made of the same silk and has a yoke, collar and cuffs of heavy gaipure. There is a belt of the ma- terial and little jacket skir.s that are . stylish, although somewhat vatchy in “It was the morning after the battle Lesington that Mrs. Pond, the wile | boil, so that she might make some %irt than a line | either = parasol handle with ail manoer of KLONDIKER'S WARNING. ONE MAN WHO THINKS THE YUKON | A GOOD PLACE TO AVOID, io 5 _ fhe Canadian Gevernment is Taking a : Large Share of the Gains of the Miners : Those Whe Succeed Are FewHard- E ships and Risks Fndured. Jacob H. Myers, of Rochester, N. | ¥., inventor of the Myers ballot ma chine, bas just returned to his home | from a gold-hunting expedition to the | Klondike. Among other things he SC AAYR: “Ym onr arrival in the Klondike , region last fail we found an entimated | popmlation there of 11,000 mes. This spring this was angmented by 12,000 New men, , creased this year by 3000, counting those who die and those who leave for home in disgnst becaunse¥of the ex- tortions of the Canadian Government On scoonnt of these extortions many miners leave the Ynkon for the Ameri | can mines, where there is no snch sys- tem of rank extortion. These Canadian . extortions are alleged by many to be dae to the fact that ninety five per cent. of the miners are Americans, and | the Canadians thus see a good chance to feather their nests at the expense of the Americans. Every ruiner is sompelled to pay a personal tax on sil his supplies of food, and even on his clothing in actual use, at an average ‘of 820. Counting this year's arrivals i at 16,000 men, the Canadian treasury { will be the richer from this scuree by $320,000. In the next piace, every ‘one of the arrivals is required before . he can legally cut wood to cook his first supper, before he can turn a ‘windlass, fish or hunt, or get any in- | | formation from the officials, to pay a free miner's license, the cost of this being $11.15. What this amonnts to in the aggregate it is easy to fignre ‘out. Next, experience shows that at feast IR 000 will | year an average of three claims each i on good and wildeat creeks combined, | on which a recording fee of §16 each | bas to be patd. Before the expiration tof each year a renewal of $15 is { charged on each of these cisims. Un- | til recently this fee was 8150, and at | lanst ROOD claims were renewed on this { basis, making $800,000. Add to {this the present renewal fee of 815 csach on 25,000 cinims, making $3635, - 000 additional, and the aggregate is | $1,175,000 “Another feature of the Canadian Government's grasping policy is that whereby alternate claims are reserved | for the Crown in order that they may ' be made valuable for Governtaent sale ‘ throngh the labor and expense forced {mpon the adjoining miners, It is | moderate to say that the cash received : by the Government from this source will aggregate more than §1 440,000. YA royalty of ten per cent. of the | gross output of eacliiine ia charged jon all claims yieldilig over $3000, | whether worked singly or by ten or twelve lessees. It is estimated that about $7,000,000 will be prodaeed | this year in the Canadian Yukon dis. ‘triet. About $4,000,000 of this will | be subject to the royalty, thas yield. | ing to the Government $400,000. | “‘Recently the Government leased the narrow waterfront opposite the front street in Dawson to two specu: Iators for one year at $30,000, They of $1200 each on the small shopkeep- ers and barbers who had previously | peacefully occupied it. The next day | prices went ap, and the barbers dou. bled the price of a shave from fifty cents to a dollar. Thus esch drudg- ing miner has to pay an indirect Gov. ernment extortion eof fifty cents for | ench shave. The sum total of all these extortions for one year ia thus seen to be $4,495,600.” Mr. Myers says that no amount of money could induce him to encounter the hardships and risks of another trip to the Yukon. Regarding the ‘chances a man has of getting rich, | Mr. Myers said: “It is truly claimed thst in the Klondike or any other gold-bearing region, not more than one man out of s hundred is fortanate. The ninety- nine unfortunstes expend as much money and endure the same hardships and extortions as the lucky man. The miners say that in their opinion $3 is nt for every doliar taken out by e Incky ones. The great mass either die or return dead broke. The priystions of the miner along the nkon are terrible. Exposure and constant unremitting drudgery are his lot. No roads are red. snd all supplies, firewood and other neces- saries must be packed on his back and carried for long distances. Swamps sud bogs on mountains must be strug- gled through, and most of those who do not die are broken down in health, 1 could not advise any persons to ven- ture into the Alaska mining country, snd none should veuture who is not strong and hardy and has not capital enough to pay for a year's food, and his fare there and back, for it is a fact that not one out of a hundred makes enough to take him home. “*There is but one story and true belief among the thousands of us who crowded the homeward steamers be- yond their capacity this spring, and that is that it would be criminal for us to lend our voices to aid the cleverly de- vised advertising schemes of the two mercantile Alaskan monopolies. Little in said about the ninety and nine un- fortunates. Only the large gold sacks of the few rich paying mines, together with the aggregate product of the very many producing but non-paying small mines, 7, extolled. For example, I might have in self-landation added my little gold sack to the general list on the arrival of onr ocean steamer and failed to say that I had expended nearly double its value in its procurement, bur it would have been acting a lieand helpiag to injure and deceive my fel- low mes.

"A generation is an uncertain per- jod of time, though the word is very much used,’ observed an authority on sach matters. ‘Strictly speaking, it means that amount of time that elapaes between the birth of the father and that of his sop. It depends, therefore, a great deal on the age of the father, for ¥ he marries very young the time between his birth sud that of his son will be correspondingly brief. In ordinary calculations, how- ever, it is safe to put a generation at thirty-three and one-third years, or three generations in each century. There ate instances, though, of four and even more generations in a cen tary. In countries where tie people marry young there are, therefore, more generations than there are in othegs.
