Thus, we\nwould rise at what was really 5, but tlie\ndock would call it (>, and retire at 0,\nbut the clock would say 10. Therefore,\nwithout changing our daily habits, we\ncould got the benefit of the daylight and\nsave in illumination,\nThc idea was introduced Into the\nBritish Parliament, but failed to become a law. Two cities, however,\nadopted il\u00E2\u0080\u0094Birmingham, England, and\nCincinnati, Ohio, Both tried iu vain to\nenforce it on the people, but public\nopinion was against it, uud now it has\nbeen wholly abandoned, It is rather a\nshame, t'or it was a good plan, and in\ntime the publie might have been brought\nto see its utility.\nHowever, here it rests in \"innocuous\ndesuetude\" until somo progressive\nschemer brings it up again.\nPOWDER IN GLOVES\nMV feet burn bo!

The colt's owner, Mr. Osborne,\nknew perfectly well that Joe Patchen,\n2:01%, was the sire of thc world's\ngreatest harness horse, Dan Patch,\naud that Bessie Bonehill at one time\nheld a world's record for pacing mares,\nand ho also had great faith in the offspring of the two noted animals, but at\ntlie same timo he preferred tu follow\nthe \"smnll profit and quick returns\"\npolicy to training the youngster for\ntne races.\nWhen the \"for sale\" ad. for Joe\nPatchen II. appeared many inquiries\nwere received by his owner, but none of\nthem had the real businessliko ring to\nthem, so Mr. Osborne replied to but\nvery few of the lettors received. However, there was a Canadian located in\nOrillia, Out., who chanced to see this\nadvertisement while waiting in a Lindsay hotel for a train. This man, Mr.\nThomas Hodgson, a business man of\nthe northern town, had been more or\nles interested iu harness horses for several years.\nHodgson landed in Pittslield all right\nand saw Mr. Osborne and the colt, but\nwas somewhat disappointed in* the appearance of the latter, for he was a\nmost ungainly looking animal, having\nmore the appearance of an overgrown\nSchoolboy than a choicely bred member\nof Ihe equine family. Be that as it\nmay, a long trip had been made, and\nthere was the colt, and his breeding\naud his prospects in the stud, ho Hodgson bought him and shipped him to his\nfarm at Orillia.\nUpon arrival at Orillia Joe Patchen\nIT. was at once turned over to Jimmy\n| Powell, ouo of the younger generation\nof eastern Canadian reinsnieu, uud while\nPowell's experience wus mure or less\nlimited, he liked the horse he was about\nto train, was broil right for the work,\nas his father, the veteran Geo. Powell,\nnow of Belleville, Out., is one of tho\nmost noted of Canadian horsemen.\nLast year, iu tho fall of his four-\nyear old form, Mr. Hodgson decided to\nsend young Joo to the races with a\nview of educating him in the racing\ngame preparatory to a campaign on the\nice. Consequently he was started a few\ntimes at the fall fairs iu his locality,\nbut was uever asked to do his best in\ncompany. However, after returning to\nOrillia to prepare t'or the ice races, Mr.\nHodgson was anxious to know just what\nspeed the son of Joe Patchen possessed,\nwith the result that Powell drove the\nyoung horse a half-mile over the Orillia\ntrack more than a second faster than\nthe Canadian record for pacing a half-\nmile on a tWO-lap track.\nJoo Patchen was not raced at all nt\nToronto lust winter, where the ice racing season was opened, but made his\nlirst start at Lindsay, where he won,\ndefeating the crack pacer, Plying Jib,\nthat had performed so well at'Toronto.\nThe next week ut Peterboro Joe again\nwon, and paced a mile iu 12:17'*, which\nstands ns u world's record for a green\npacer on a half-mile ice track.

Black and white net\neaaawaiderod lavishly with tiny beads and tinsels in Persian\neaters nre among the newest things. The tinsels nre some-\nhiatal worked in solid patterns against a background of tesne-\nlate-t, crackled or leaded glass effect which is wrought with\nr%a beads. A great many coral beads are employed, and the\nchalk-white ones on blnck net, and jet onoB on white net aro\nvery much in evidence. Copper tinsel is nlso popular.\nSome of the bead work, is American Indian iu Hind,'but\nit is done in tho toucs that are characteristic of tho Orient\not of inodorn fashions. Thu Brussels net bandings that come\niu all tho widths mentioned run through a wido variety of\ndesign and coloring. Not only bends, silk, aud tinsel are\nusod on them, but bugles and jewels\u00E2\u0080\u0094anything at all that will\ngive the effect sought. And thoy como light or durk.,.Some\nof these bandings cost as high as $2.1 a yard. With'sk'irt\nbauds costing as much as this aud even moro, it is fortunate\nthnt skirts are narrow, aud the outlook remains good for them\nto renin iu so.\nAmong the trimmings nre also included ft groat variety' of\noverdress nrraugements in ihe way of tunics, .waists, fichus,\njackets, scarfs, and garnishments intended to outline yokes,\nand cover the wnist more or less, according to what is wnuted,\nSomo of the uow tunics are going to rehabilitate passe gowns\nInter on.

It is nne of thu features\nof the present style iu trimming that .very thin and very\nheavy ones are all in vogue, Homo of the padded work is\ncoarse and heavy to a degree, and its antithesis is seen in the\nfine silk laces, such os blond and chant illy iu the finest of\nmesh nnd work.\nAmong the cottons which are to bo used for trimmings not\nall is known us yet. Hut somo that are in tell a good deal\nof tho story. The lingerie gown of tho coming summer is to\nbe of thin, plain-facod clothes, such as eropes, voiles, marquisettes, nnd the like, ns well as of the usual lingerie materials. And trimmings nm to be bold and effective. Tho\nheavily padded and raised work, aud tho courso stitches that\nlook as though thoy were done with knitting cotton nro\nleaders.\nNew bandings and edgings of mauy widths have already\narrived iu a sort of coarsely embroidered cutwork, some witk\ncoarse crochet ground, done with henry thread. Tho ground\nnf tho material on which tho work is done is entirely covered\nand flower motives, new art designs, arabesque, traceries, and\nthe usual long range of effects is found nmong them. From\nnew until well into March the story of trimmings is bound to\nbo an interesting one. Put the woman who sees what she\nwants now will do well to make it at once hor own. Dressmakers nnd their forehanded clients aro picking up the prizes\nof t,ho couuters fast, and a month from now many of the\nchoicest exclusive trimmings will have beon pretty woll\nbought up. The trimmings are always among tho first stocks\nin the shops to be depleted.\nMARKS ON OLD SILVER\nWHILE the marks or lack of marks on Shefflold plate\nkeep us guessing with a deep uncertainty as to their\nmeaning or Inch nf meaning, the marks on old silver\ntell a definite story, especially those on English silver. Tn\nKngland and continental countries silversmiths were forced\nnot only fo mark 1 heir wares with their own names, but to\nSubmit them at an assay office or guild hall to receive the\nolhVml stamp. Thus Ihe expression \"hall-marked silver\"\noriginal.\nWhite Chiffon Tea Gown\nOn the back of a piece of old Knglish silver, and mosl\nof our old silver is either Colonial or Old Knglish, wo will\nfind from one to five different kinds of marks, pach one giving definite information to the initiated. Moreover, lists of\nIhoso marks are published so that a little study will easily\ninitiate tho possessor of an old piece of silver into their\nmysteries.\nliefore 1300 the Initials of tlie Christian mime and Bur-\nname of the maker constituted the only mark. Those indicated no slundurd of alloy, however, and dishonest workors\nmndo the creation of this standard necessary. In 1300 a\nlaw was made establishing a standard, and requiring each\nsilversmith to submit his work to nn assayer at Ihe guild\nhull before putting his own mark on it. Thore his mark and\nthe King's Mark, a crowned leopard's head, were set by tha\nassuyer, Silver of this period, tl , has two marks. Frauds\nand aliases still continuing, n new law was passed in 1438\nforcing each assnyer to set. a mark of his own in addition.\nThis mark was the oue known as the \"Annual Letter.\" This\nletter indicates the exact year, und is still in use. In 154.r>\ntho lion passant was added.\nTheso four marks remained unchanged until lGOtl, when\ntho figure of a woman called Britannia replaced tho leopard's\nhead. This lasted until 1720.- Theu the old standard was\nrestorod with Its old marks. In 1784 the sovereign's head\nwas added.\nSOME REFLECTIONS ON \"GOING\nHOME\" FOR THE CORONATION\n\"Are yon going home for the Corona\ntionf\" calls from (South Africa to ln\ndin, from India to Australia and Now\nZealand; whispers up tho shores of the\nMalay Peninsula aud China, is caught\nup by Fiji- echoes among the mountains _ guarding Vancouver, aud thence\ngrows louder aud Igtfdof'as it Hies Eastf,\nthunders insistently at the doors of tho\ngreat steamship oilk-ea in Montreal and\nNbw York.\n\"Are you going home for Ihe Coronation J\"\nTo thousands' upon thousands it .may\nnot be holne in the sense that it, is to\nthoso that havo lived in Kngland, but\nlu youth Africans aud Australians, to\nall the inhabitants ot the Southern\nS'eas over whom King George exercises\na beneficent rule, it is \"going homo.\"\nPel-hups to Canadians, it is \"goiai:\nto the Old Country.\"\nAnd across the border that divides\nCanada frdtu tho United States, \"1 am\ngoing over to tho'Old Country\" is probably more common than \"1 am going\novor to Kurope.\"\nYet, In a sense, to tho whole Anglo-\nSaxon race, it is \"going home.\" and\nfur that great \"going home\" the steam\nship com panics are already doing their\nbest to prepare.\nit is with tho steamship companies\nplowing Iho herring pond that Canadian\n--\u00E2\u0096\u00A0aye, and many Australians\u00E2\u0080\u0094are chief*\nly Interested.

I\nknow, because I have tried both places.\nTho ship carries three turtles for\nturtle soup {thoy are sent overboard\nevery morning for n swim, and the passengers make great pets of them; their\nouly duty is to walk through the stock\npot in the kitchen every evening before\ndinner); theu nbout 12 boxes of her-\nj-iugs. and 12 barrels of red herrings (I\ncannot account for the change iu eolor,\nexcept that, like boiled lobsters, a herring mny bo blue before it is boiled,\nbut. goes red with shame during the process); ;ili boxes of bloaters from Yarmouth (there nre millions and millions\nof bloaters caught off Yarmouth); 45\nboxes of coles, turbot, etc.; one and one-\nhalf tons of ling (I believe thai's Scotch\nfor small rod); 10 boxes of herrings;\n84 boxes of flunon haddock; 150H pounds\nof British Colombia salmon caught iu\nthe Tuy or other Scotch rivers; tiO boxes\nof kippers, uud 80 kegs of oysters make\nup Ihe fish menu. I suppose thoso are\nused ill case tin- fishing off the boat is\nbad; otherwise I must have told uu untruth ubout the sailors catching thom\nwith the log.\nBut the live stock carried seems to\nme about the best, of all. It is called\nlive stock, bul I am sure most, of it\nis dead stock by the time the ship has\nreached New York or Livorpool, which\never way it Is going.\nTho aviary interests me most of all:\n100 pigOOUB, \u00C2\u00A350 partridges, 250 grouse,\nson quail, 2i)0 snipe, and 200 pheasants\nmake up the game portion.

MISELF.\nTWENTIETH CENTURY PIRATES\nA few weeks ugo a London man was\nsentenced to penal servitude for life\nfor the crime of piracy. It sounds preposterous to talk of the black flag in\nthese days of forty-thousand-ton liners\naud wireless telegraphy, yet the bald\nfact remains that piracy is by no means\nan extinct offence.\nThis modern buccaneer was n steward who, after serving in various ships,\nwas stranded at Cullno, in Peru. There\npicked up with a man named Sher-\nrntt, and the two shipped aboard a\nsmall schooner, the Neuva Tigre. They,\nwith the captain and mate, composed\nthe entire crew.\nA week out from port these two precious scoundrels attacked the captain\nand mate with an aw and gun. and\nliterally made them walk the plunk in\nthe most approved eighteenth century\nfashion.\nThey then re named the vessel White\nHose, and set sail for nowhere iu particular, so '.vonlually tliey ran ashore\niu the Gilbert Islands, where they were\npromptly arrested.\nThe most daring case of piracy on\nrecord for years past occurred last Aug\nlist aboard the Alaska Pacific liner, the\nBookman, when two armed passengers\nmade a deliberate attempt to seize the\nbig ship and her cargo.\nOne of thom named Thomas took a\nrevolver, went into the cabin, and cool\nly shot Captain Wood, then ran on deck\nto help his accomplice, whom he had\nleft to tackle the mate on tin' bridge.\nHut the male had been too quick for\nthe pirate, and Thomas reached the\ndeck to find his accomplice iu irons,\nlie nt once seized a lifebuoy ami jump\ned overboard. As he wns never seen\nagain, he was presumably drowned.\nAboard fhe Italian transatlantic liner\nMargherita there wns a few years ago\na regular Captain Kettle battle. The\nsteamer, after leaving Trieste, called at\nMessina, aud there twenly-two villain-\notis Sicilians, stowed themselves away.\nAs soon as fhe Margherita was out of\nsight of land they rushed nn deck in a\nbody aud attacked tho crew.\nShMs Cure\nautckly atop* coafka. earn coldi, beaU\nta* (Ju-it aad lava** \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 BS c*ata.\nThey wero surrounded aad drives below, but at night broke out again, aal\nrushed tho officers' quarters. Tho eraw\narmed themselves with revolvers, aad\na fierce fight ragod for over aa a\u00C2\u00ABur.\nTwo of the mutineers were killed, a\nnumber wore wounded, and foar tailors were badly hurt. At last the \u00C2\u00BBir-\nates were driven into the fo'e'sle, and\nwhile the crew stood guard the vaaoel\nsteamed hard for Algiers, where the\npolic.o took the rnilians into eaetody.\nPirates, as these instances prove, usually get, tho worst of it. Bnt sot always, .lust three yearn ago the stoaa-er\nSophia was crossing the Hlack Sea from\nOdessa to Korthion, and tho captaiji\nand passengers had just sat down te\nsupper in the saloon when three yuuug\nmen, masked and armed, appeared in\nthe doorway, and covered thent. bidding them not to move oi pain of\ndeath.\nAt the same time two others Miscd\nfhe man nt the wheel, ami forced him\nto turn the vessel back lo Odessa.

T. WHITB, Manager.\nThe petition circulated around Cumberland and district\nduring the last week asking Capt. J. W. Troup, manager of\nthe B.C. ('oast service, to retain the SS. Princess Mary on the\nNamiimo-Comox route, was largely and justly signed by the\nm reliant) >( this district. The petition ran as follows:\n\"Having heard that your company contemplate\nthe placing of the steamship Charmer on the Comox\nroute instead of the steamship PrincessMary, we, the\nuiiderMgtied i .*ichaiits and residents of Cumberland,\nrespectfully leanest that the Princess Mary be retained on the route on the grounds of safety and\nbetter accommodation,\" etc., etc.\nWe may say that the people of this district are entitled to\na boat like the Princess Mary. It was ordered and built for\nthe Comox run. We know that the passenger traffic is continually on the increase; the district is growing by leapB and\nhounds; and the freight comes into Cumberland so thick and\nfast that the Canadian Collieries Company, if they want to\ngive the public any way near a service, will have to put on\nmore men and more cars We trust that Capt. Troup will give\nthe petition his careful consideration and see that the people of\nCumberland and district get what was ordered and built for\ntheir service.\nFor the information of E. H. Fletcher, Post Office Inspector at Victoria, we would like to point out to him the difficulty\nand time it takes to get a letter from Cumberland to Courtenay, a distance of seven miles at the most. To get a reply within\ntwo weeks is considered very fortunate, indeed, but some people\nclaim they have had to wait thirty days. People here can get\na reply from Montreal or New York much quicker than they\ncan from their immediate vicinity within a radius of ten miles.\nWhat we want is a daily mail service with all these outside\npoints, No. 7, Headquarters, Courtenay, Sandwick and Comox,\neither by automobile or government mail car. The population\nis in the district nnd Heir demands and requirements shou'd\nbe attended to with h bettor postal service.\nIt is about time that we organized a board of trade here.\nWe are at all times a little too indifferent about our own needR\nand requirements, which as a rule concern everybody. A board\nof trade consisting of influential business men would work out\ngood results for Cumberland.\nISliM \u00C2\u00ABTIS\u00C2\u00ABTES\nDisplay Advertisements\n75 cents per column inch per in..nth.\nSpecial nne fur half page ur more.\nCondensed Advertisements\n1 cent 1 word, 1 issue ; minimum charge 25 cent*.\nNo acount* run for 'hi* clans of advenixing\nBUY A 'SINGER/\nThe LateRt and most Up-to-date Sewing\nMachine on the market to-day.

And\nnow that the announcement has been\nmade that (Jueeu Mary has appointed\nthe Men. Sybil Krodrick, the Hon. Veue-\ntia Baring, Miss Mabel Gye, and Miss\nKatherine Villiers her Maids of Honor,\nscores of daughters of titled houses nre\ndoing their best tu hide their disappointment, for the posts arc much\ncoveted. It is interesting to note that\nwhen, in 1908, tho Hon. Margarot Law-\nnay, Maid of Honor to Quoen Alexandra, was married, there were over a\nhundred girls attached to distinguished\nfamilies hopefully waiting to be chosen\nfor the vacancy.\nNot that tho position is a sinecure, or\nhas any great monetary advantages. As\na matter of fact, it carries with it an\nallowance of $12,000 a year, in return\nfor which a Maid of Honor has to be in\nclose attendance upon Her Majesty\nevery day for between two and three\nmonths, from 10 or 11 o'clock in the\nmorning until 4 or 5 o'clock in the\nafternoon, and again in the evening.\nQueou Victoria, who had eight maids\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nthe number was reduced to four by\nQueen Alexandra\u00E2\u0080\u0094usually had two in\nattendance, whether at Windsor, Balmoral, or Osborne. And these wore in\nconstant demand for walks, rides,\ndrives, music, talk, aud secretarial\nwork.\nAfter tbo death of tbe Prince Consort the Court assumed a somewhat,\ngloomy nspoct. Entertainments wero\nrow and far between, Her Majesty rft-\ning in close retirement, tho consequence\nbeing that tho duties of her Maids of\nHonor were of a somewhat exact ing\ncharacter. After hor death, Quqen\nAlexandra found so much tu occupy her\ntimo that she was able to dispense wilh\ntho services of four.\nAll Court officials know that a Maid\nof Honor has littlo timo to spnro wheu\nwail ing at Court. Apart from [tho\nduties already mentioned, she has to\ntake au important part in helping tn\nentertain the guests of her Royal mistress, and takes her placo in Her Majesty's suito oo all Stale and Bomi-\nStnte occasions. She accompanies the\nQueen to any charity function she may\nattend, and wheu Mer .Majesty pays a\nprivate visit a Maid of Holier is usually\nin attendance, and also when she goes\nto the opera or theatre.\nThen again, when a State visit is\npaid by a foreign sovereign, tho Maid\nmay be deputed to attend to tho Royal\nladies staying at the Palace. In a word,\nshe must be prepared to adapt herself to\nall tho peculiar circumstances surrounding Royalty. Good birth and breeding\nare, of course, essential, and tbe candidates for the post must be the granddaughters of peers, if not nearer in\nblond, for it is uot usual for tbo office\nto bo held by anyone below that rank.\nTho title of \"Houorablo\" is always\nprefixed to the names of Her Majesty'a\nMaids of Honor, whou they are not entitled to it by birth, and is retained\nafter tho post has been relinquished. At\none time it was the custom for the\nQueen to bestow a dowry of $5,000 on\nthe occasion of the marriage of a Maid\nof honor, but this practice was abolished by Queen Alexandra, who arranged\nthat $500 a year should bo added to tbe\nallowance, bo that each now receives\n$2,000 annually and no dowry, instead\nof $1,500 a year and a dowry after a\ncertain number of years' service, as\nhitherto.\nOne of the moBt highly-prized privileges of the post of Maid of Honor, by\nthe wny, whon in waiting, ie that of\nbeing allowed to wear a charming miniature of tho Queen, Bet iu diamonds,\non the left shoulder. This, ornament,\nwbieb, needless to say, is greatly treasured, is kept in a white satin caso, on\nwhich iF a label bearing the namo of\ntho owner writtou iu the Queen's own\nhandwriting.\nSystem Requires Frequent Cleansing\nNot ouly outside but iaside as well,\nyour body must be frequently cleaned.\nOtherwise it becomes loaded with\nwastes that clog up tho wheels of\nhealth.

Tho pet of the stablo is the sweet\nlittle mare Merry Widow, tbat is well\nknown In Eastern Canada, as she went\nthrough an extensive campaign uu tho\nico two winters ago and afterwards raced at one of the early meetings ou the\nCanadian Circuit the follow ing summer. Wtar Brino aud Joe Patchen It.\nare also well known hereabouts, as they\nwere campaigned on the ice. The former was the sonsational half-mile track\npacer of tbo West last year, and is at.\nleast a 2.0C pacer ou a mile track. Like\nthe others, Joe Patchen 11. earned brackets uu tbe ice, as he won tho 1^-5 pacing stake at Ottawa last winter, and\nho holds the record for the event,\nLM7:J'l, made over a track that was\nknown to bo a full half-mile.\nThe trotting stallion Peter Wilton is\nowned by W.

This\nwill hel]> some toward paying the\ntraining expenses of thc stable, but it\nwill be done solely to meet the wishes\nof tbe Western breeders, many of\nwhom think he is the greatest pacing\nBtallion ever seen in that Western\noouutry.\nlowanee would not be enough. How\never, an allowance should be made, and\nfour seconds seems to bo about the fair\nthing. The innovation would be a benefit to the horsemen, and would increase\nthe number of entries at half-mile\ntrack meetings without working an injury to tho mile tracks.\nIt may be argued that if it is right\nthat horses with mile track records\nshould receive an allowance at half-\nmile track meet ings, horses with half-\nmile track records should be penalized\nin tho same manner when thev go to\nbig tracks, and if it is n poor rule\nTn hnve the children sound and\nhealthy is the first cure of a mother.\n'Ihey cannot bo healthy if troublod\nwith worms. Use Mother Graves' Worm\nExterminator.\nThe question of making an allowance to horses with records obtained on\nmile tracks when such horses are entered at half-mile track meetings hus\nbeen agitating tbe minds of tho two-\nlap secretaries not a little. Home have\nmado an allowance of three, and others four, seconds whon formulating\ntheir programmes, but there are others\nwho have not given tho matter any\nconsideration whatever, apparently,\njudging that no mention ia made in the\nadvance notices sent out for stake entries.\nBearing iu mind that tho real object,\nof a race should be to givo every competitor a chance to win, there is no\nquestion that secretaries would be doing the right thing if they were to make\ntho conditions of their races such thnt\ntho \"big ring\" horseB could start\nraces ou half-mile tracks against\nhorses, where they would hnvo an equal\nchance of winning. It is an acknowledged fact that thero is a difference\nof at least four seconds between a\nmile on mile track nnd oue ou u half\nmile track, paced or trotted by u horse\nthat is doing its best. For instance,\na record of 2.10'/, obtained ou a mile\ntrack would be equivalent to 2.141/- on\na half-mile ring and vice-versa. This\nboing the case, it would appear but\nronsonuhlo that tlie matter of where a\nhorse's record was obtained should be\n.taken into consideration.\nIt is true that all horses are not constituted alike\u00E2\u0080\u0094some can negotiate a\nlialf-milo ring better than others, in\ncomparison to the way they can step\non a mile track, but such instances are\nvery rare. It is said that the once-\nnoted pacer Frank Yokam could pace\na mile on a two-lap track nearly as\nfast ns he could on a mile track, but\nbis was nn isolated case. The difference in gait, of course, would govern\na horse's ability to pace or trot over\nthe small or big tracks. Totally different from Prank Yokam was Maud\nKeswick, 2,03%, This mare was able\nto paco close to two minutes on n\nmile track, but the best she ever could\nshow on a \"twice around\" was 2.00'Kt-\nso in a case like her, four seconds al-\nB \u00E2\u0096\u00A0-\u00E2\u0080\u0094-\u00E2\u0080\u0094 -\nthat won't, work both ways, then such\na contention wuuld seem to be just.\nThe sport of harness horse racing\nhas grown enormously during t he. past\nlive years, so much so, that the system\nof years ago does not work ont satisfactorily to-day. Pew changes have beon\nmade in tho style of racing from the\ndays of our grandfathers, and this in u\nmeasure accounts for the fact that thi\nattendance at harness horse meeting*\nin general, has not increased like unto\nother sports. The old-fashioned two iu\nthree races at four miles would not attract the number Of spectators that are\nsoon at present-day running meetings.\nCONFESSIONS OF A BOGUS HYP\nKOTIST\nThere ure occasions when I really do\nhypuoti.se u man, Thnt man is, uu-\nknowu to the audience, of course, iu\nmy employ. 1 think he must hypnotize\nhimself to a certain oxtent, for I never\nhnvo any trouble with him\u00E2\u0080\u0094a few\npasses, and he iB \"off.\"\nBut tme swallow tloes not muke a\nsummer, and one subject does not make\na hypnotist's \"show.\" I have otlier\nmen in my company, but they do not\ntravel with me, uud nre never seen\ntalking to mo.

Montreal\nDAME FASHION'S\nDECREES\nPLANNING tho winter outfit is n task for which there can\nbo no hard and fast rules laid down. So much depends\nupon where and how the winter is to be spent, whether\nsocial life is to be all Important, whether there is to bo a\nsuccession of entertainments given and attended, or whether\nmerely the customary rouud is to bo adhered to. The woman\nwho goes out constantly and also gives many evening entertainments requires many more gowns than when one or two\ndinners a week aad no dances comprise thc list of festivities.\nThere are one or two statements hitherto accepted as\nfacts which this year will have to be done away with\u00E2\u0080\u0094that\nit is necessary to have only one or two well made und becoming gowns in ordor to be satisfactorily gowned, for the newest\nfashions are too distinctive and pronounced to bo worn an\nindefinite number of times, and ns for changing thom in any\nway, ret rimming or redraping, it is almost impossible. The\nradical change of style since last winter has affected all evening gowns us much as the street gowns, nud this is quite\nunusual, for as a rule, while there are always changes as to\nmaterial, trimming and general effect from year to yoar, there\nNile Oreen Satin Gowu with Silver Embroidery\nare. or rather have been, so many points in common season\nafter season that often it 1ms heen possible, whou economy\nhad to bo consulted, to order only oue new evening gown\n:i season and make those of former seasons up to dale by\nsome trivial adaptation of trimming or line.\nSkirts are narrow und scant (the terms are not synonymous to the iniliittod), not loug. Mauy are quite short, and\nbeauty of line has for the moment apparently been done away\nwith in the effort to produce striking and conspicuous effects,\nwhile most elaborate trimmings and embroideries are used\nmost casually without regard to cost. It is well understood\nthat every woman is to look tall and slender\u00E2\u0080\u0094this is the unwritten law\u00E2\u0080\u0094and when n dressmaker hus to accomplish\nthese results for short and stout customers her task is not. an\neasy one. The low cut corset is again demanded for the\nmore elaborate evening gowns, two or three inches above the\nwaist boing deemed quito high, but be it realized that with\nthis must be worn a perfect fitting brassiere or marvellously\ncut cache corset that will support the bust without giving\nthe high busted, too well corseted appearance that some styles\nof falTgowns seem to require. Below the waist the corset is\nexaggeratedly long and most perfectly fitted to hold back,\nbut not pushup, any superfluous flesh, and particularly for the\naverage woman inclined to be stout, the waist, measure need\nnot be ubnormally small. At the same time a small waist\nis once again considered a point of beauty. To suggest slen-\nderncss is the aim of every dressmaker, and sho who can\nattain this for her customers is au artist at her trade.\nOddly enough there are dressmakers who know how a\ngowa should bo cut to show to the best possible advantage\nthe figure, and yet who do nut in the least understand the\nsecret of a graceful and at the same time a smart gown.\nOthers again realize to the fullest extent these mysteries\nof dress and yet cannot attain a good cut. The woman who\nherself understands clothes has now au opportunity to exercise her own talent. If she goon to an establishment whole\nshe can be certain of a well cut gown she can Instruct the\ndressmaker ns to tho disposition of the trimming or the drapery of tho few folds that are allowed. Brocades, crepe, satin\nand velvet are all popular this winter, and many of fhe designs as well as the quality are quito unlike anything that\nhas ever been seen and make superb gowns, bul almost without exception these nre expensive. For the less expensive\ngown the satin foundation, with a pattern robe, can be selected by the woman who is counting hor pennies, and, as hns\nbeen said, if the foundation be well cut and fitted amateur\ntalent can work wonders with a comparatively Inexpensive\nnet tunic embroidered iu silk or in colored beads,\nWhere expense does not enter inln the question there can\nbe the most, superb of gowns turned out\u00E2\u0080\u0094the foundation of\nsatin or brocade, with tunic embroidered in jet or crystal or\ncolored beads nnd finished with a deep fringe of silk or\nbeads. Fringe is extremely fashionable and is used in nil\nwidths, several rows of narrow or medium width, or one row\nof wide, as is the more becoming or tho moro in keeping with\nthe lines of tin? gown. Bands of passementerie aro extremely\neffective, less expensive than the embroidery ou the material\nitself, and there is an apparently endless choice iu color and\ndesign. These bauds trim the waist, finish the tunic and flic\nsleeves, and tin. width depends on whether the narrow or wide\nline is the best.\nEmbroidered bands on brocade nre thought by some women to be inappropriate, nnd they contend that when thc\nmaterial is of a flowered or figured design the plain satin or\nvelvet is better, being more of a contrast, but this winter\nmany of the embroideries resemble so closely the pattern and\ncolor of the brocades that they soom only to enhance its\nbeauty. A band of embroidery around the hem on the waist\nand in a diagonal line across thc front of the skirt is a popular method of trimming, und when, as is so often seen, the\nkirt is cut open at the side, showing an under skirt of another\nmaterial, this embroidery finishing the upper skirt adds greatly lo its beauty. Often the design of the brocade is worked\nuut in embroidery of heavy silk or of crystal beads, and this\nis most effective, for it does not break into the design as do\nthe bauds of embroidered passementerie. All these small,\nor apparently small, details count for so much in the finish\nof the modern evening gowu that it is worth while studying\nthem carefully.\nVeiled effects are still fashionable, but the evening gowns\nare now more often veiled with embroidered lace and net, the\nplain veiling of voile do soie or mousseline de soie having\nbeeu so utilized for less elaborate gowns as lo make it seem\nhardly appropriate for the more costly ones. It seems quite\nlike vandalism to embroider the beautiful laces aud lace nets\nthat are uow used for the veiling, but only the finest of hand\nwork is thought possible, and it is contended that outlining\ntho pattern with crystal, pearl or even jet beads merely\nmakes the design more effective. Certainly for those who\nlove to work in beautiful fabrics Dame Fashion lias this\nyear provided all that could be desired, for the brocades, satin\nvelvet or crepe, the exquisite luces and the hand embroidery\nare all of the most costly description, aud there is uo fixed\nrulo as to what colors and materials are to be combined* so\nthat it is really a matter of taste as to what shall bo chosen.\nArtificial flowers play un important part iu evening dross\nthis scuson, and many of the smartest go WHS have the waists\nso fashioned that the flowers are pari of the trimming, but so\narranged that they can be changed if so desired. A Nattier\nblue satin evening gown trimmed with black lace would not\nlook half so smart were it nol for the spray of shaded pink\nvelvet roses with green leaves placed in the front of the\nWttlst just where the bands nf lace are crossed. A yellow and\nwhite brocade gowu would lack color ami smartness were it\nnot for the spray of yellow roses, shading to deepest orange,\nthat is placed iu the folds of brocade that cross above the\nhigh girdle. Artificial flowers have reached a perfection of\nmanufacture that makes them appropriate as a trimming\nor finish to the most elaborate of gowns, nnd are often pre\nferablc to the ornaments of steel or rhinestone that have been\npopular for so long. All kinds of flowers known to the bota\nnist, anil many unknown, are wonderfully copied\u00E2\u0080\u0094gardenias,\nhydrangeas, calla lilies, orchids and roses of every shade\nboing the favorites. They are made of silk, satin, or velvet,\nand the number that is included in the provision for the\nwinter season is somewhat overwhelming. At the same time\ntwo sprays will be quito sufficient, if but a little care is exercised iu putting them away \"between weuriugs.\" The different shades of blue are so fashionable at present that blue\nflowers are in demand. There are not many,blue flowers, but\nfashion permits that blue roses, blue lilies and blue orchids be\nincluded in the list of artificial blossoms.\nWhat is the fashionable cplor for the evening gown this\nseason is anxiously waited fer. There are many different\nshudes of white, blue, pink, yellow, gCheii and grey to choose\nfrom, while the broendes, with plain ground and embroidered\niu color, furnish a still greater variety. White or black brocaded with gold or silver is very superb, the latter more\nsuitable for older women, and the mauve, with silver or gold,\nis also to be included. The brocaded and embroidered heavy\ncrepes all iu one color are to be found in all shades, with\nfringes and embroideries to match, and are among the very\nTHE JAVANESE TIGER-FIGHT\nTIGER-FIGHTING is a sport peculiar to Java. The tiger\nis set down in a trap in the centre of an enclosure,\nand is surrounded by a triple or quadruple Hue of spearmen, about a hundred yards distant from him.\nWhen all is ready, a Javanese advances at a very slow\npace, to the sound of soft music, and sets fire to the trap,\nat the same time opening the dour at the back of the cage,\nwhich, by the way, is too narrow for the tiger to tutu in.\nAs the fire begins to singe his whiskers, iho tiger gradually backs out. The man, as soon as he has opened the door,\nbegins walking toward the crowd at a slow pace, aud the\nslower he is the more applause does he gain.\nThe tiger, meanwhile, having backed out of his burning\nprison, is rather astonished at finding himself surrounded\nby hundreds of people, each planting a spear at him.\nIf ho is a bold tiger, he canters round the circle, almost\ntouching the spears. Then, finding no opening, he return;\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2to the centre, fixes his eye on one spot, and with a loud roar\ndashes straight at it.\nHe is received on the spears, and, though he crushes\nmany, in half a minute he falls dead, in some instances,\nhowever, the roar ami charge are too much for the .fuvaaeso,\nand they give way. Tho sport then becomes exciting for the\nspectators as well as tho hunters.\nTHE ELECTRICS OF TASTE\nSOMK lime ago it was suggested that wherever a distinc\nfive flavor is formed in the cooking or eatiug of certain\nthings together the reason why they seem to improv\neach other is that a certain amount uf electrical action is\nset up between them.

That afternoon he repaired to a barber shop aud\nhad his facial decorations dyed a deep,\ndull black. When he emerged from the\nshop the hirsute trimmings on his\ncountenance were the blackest thing\never seen. They were so black that\nthey made the exposed portions of in\nface look ghastly white, lie looked\nlike a photograph taken after death.\nThen he went home and burst into tho\nhouse with au attempt at a cheery grin\nand a bluff manner.
