The biffon-trimmed waist to this skirt is lade in qnite frou frou effect and makes fine foil for the severe effect in the kirt. A better effect, however, is ronght about by by having a deep raded flounce on the skirt trimmed uite full in many little ruches or allies. A Skirt With Peplum. MaBtic colored broadcloth, and rich olden brown velvet, combined in the [ay Manton style shown in the large ngraving, made one of the smartest kirts shown this season, the trimling being open passementerie over reamy satin. The skirt is complete without the eplum, which may be added or not as referred. In place of the velvet at the foot, hirred ribbon, velvet, passementerie r braid, may be applied on the bcoIoped outline. The skirt consists of a narrow front ore and two circular portions that fit losely at the top and ripple stylishly t the sides and back to the foot. Two hort darts are taken in at the waist iue and deep underlying plaits are ormed to meet over the placket, which s finished at the top of centre back earn. Th? omnnth nsnlnm fits a nrinkle, the short darts being taken up eparately from the skirt.

Some of the new skirtB of cloth are either vandyked or icalloped at the lower edge and from beneath comes a TM?OUTLINED FOR SCALLOPED FOOT [MING. plaiting of silk about three inches wide, either to match the' color of the skirt or in a contrasting shade. A cloth skirt of quite bright green has a plaiting of silk in a darker Bhade of the same tone, while the edges of the vandykes are bound with a narrow 'roll binding of dark green velvet. For good wear some of the plaitings are bound in black velvet to match that on the Vandykes and 'tis rather an addition and takes away the cut off appearance the skirt is likely to have. Skirts still continue to be very long all the way around, especially on the sides and in front, and while this style Jo n rf tx-Vi pn mi a is-walkinc?. it is be " "J'"6 " o? coming, particularly to the stout woman whose dresses are prone to ride up in front. Pipings of satin, velvet or ribbed silk are much used on gowns of cloth and the popular braids are much narrower than those used heretofore. Applique braidings are much used on both gowns and wraps and if well applied are quite as effective as though the design was done right on the garment, In combining ruches of the tiniest baby or lace footing in while with these motifs, a very effective and becoming trimming is made and one that looks more dressy than the plain braided designs.

The Coolgardie project proposes the deliverance of 5,300,000 gallons of water per day at a point in the mining recriona of Australia. 328 miled from the reservoir in the mountains near the coast, where it is impounded. To force water through a pipe line for this long distance not only must its friction be overcome, but it ha9 to be actually raised a total vertical distance of 1330 feet. Further, the district through which the pipe line passes is a desert whose soil is impregnated with salts, which are said to be so corrosive with iron that it is deemed safest not to bury the pipe in the ground at all. Another reason for having it exposed is that in a pipe b'ne of such great length'avoidance of leaks ie essential. If an ordinary pipe line leaks a tnousanatn part 01 us now in a mue, the loss may be a trifling matter; yet even so small a loss in a pipe line of this length would amount to nearly a third of this flow. In the arid desert through which this pipe line will pass it is thought that the soil might absorb small leaks so that they would not show at all on the surface of the ground if the pipe were buried. Facility of the inspection, .therefore, is another important reason for keeping the pipe above ground instead of burying it. fViia Ilia too arm a A/OkJAUWO VUlOj VU V V* MiUMk J * VMWVMW for burying water pipes?to get them out of the way and to keep tbem from freezing in winter?do not obtain at all in the region over which this pipe line will pass; and as the cost of ex-v cavating and back filling a trenoh 328 miles lpng will be saved by placing the pipe on the surfaoe, the decision not to bury it seems, on the whole, a wise one. The one great difficulty which is involved in keeping the pipe on the surface is the necessity of providing for expansion and contraction. In an ordinary continuous steel conduct, buried in the earth in a temperate climate, the extremes of temperature of the water passing through it will nrobablv not exceed thirty-five de* grees. Taming now to the Coolgardie conduit, to be laid unprotected on the surface of the ground, and with a distance between pumping stations as great as seventy-five or eighty miles, it is evident that the water confined from evaporation and exposed in a steel trap to the fierce rays of the Australian sun may reach a very high temperature in its passage from one pnmping station to the next, which in the case of the longest conduits will require nearly three days. The English mgineers estimate the range of temj. srature which will occur in the pipe line seventy-five degrees, and we should think this rather an under estimate. It will be seen at once that with such a range of temperature internal strains would be set up in ttte pipe wnicn migur oecome so grunt as to caase movements and leakage at the circumferential joints. Expansion joints are, therefore, essential to the safety of the pipe, and the English engineers propose that such joins shall be placed at intervals of about 120 feet for the whole length of the conduit, -which -would make a total of about 15,000 expansion joints in the length of the oondnit. The engineering problem presented then, and one which we need hardly say is without precedent, is the design of an expansion joint for a pipe from twenty-six to thirty-one inches diameter, which shall provide for a motion reaching five-eighths of an inch, which shall sustain pressure reaching 200 pounds per square inch, which shall be and remain tight, with little or no attention, and which shall be as nearly as possible a permanent part of the pipe line.

At Forty-third streel and Cottage Grove avenue, and Fortyseventh street and Cottage Grove avenue they have built up quite o clientele among the school-children, who depend upon' them every morning for a three-cent ride to school. Some of the passengers who come from town regularly morning and evening make a practice of asking conduotors for transfers, which thej have no reason jto use. As soon as they get off the car they hand these slips to the newsboy at the corner, in exchange for newspapers, and the newsboy sells them at three cents each to passengers starting east or west on the cross line. R is, of course, a clear transaction of profit to the newsboys and the passengers, and a loss to the street-car company.? Chicago Inter-Ocean. A Mixture of Motives.

But it's so important a matter that we can't be remind* ed too often, especially when the reminder carries the weight of authority. Dr. Wendell C.

It was a rainy *night, and he began : "How many persons here wore rubbers to-nightj? Hands np. 11. _ A _ "Wet nan 01 you. now, mat m what I thought.

Bubbers are fifty cents. You can save a lot of money on the investment?perhaps a ten-days' doctor bill, to say nothing of medicine." The doctor might have made it still stronger and said that a fifty-cent pair of rubbers wpuld not only save doctor bills and medioi&e'bills, but often life itself.

The greatest annual output since the Civil War was during 1874, when 2147 vessels of 432,725 tons were built. Of late years the largest addition to the merchant fleet was in 1891, when 1411 vessels of 892,658 tons were constructed. The high tide of sbipbuild ing in this country, however, was in 1855, when 2027 vessels of 583,450 tons were built. During the last year the additions to our mercbaet marine from all sources amounted to about 200.000 tons, of which 20,000 tons were foreign vessols purchased by the Government for use during the war and given American registers. The vessels condemned aa prizes amounted to nearly 20,000 tons, which, however, will be included in the repprts of the next year. The merchant fleet under the Hawaiian flag consists of sixty-two vessels, aggregating 31,543 tons. The Philips pine fleet consists of ninety-three vessels of 19,966 tons, but Porto Bico is practically without shipping. The total number of all kinds of merchant ships under the Unit#d States^ flag on the 30th of June, was 22,709. This was a slight increase from the 22,633 reported for the pre-: vious year, and a falling off from the 22,908 reported for 1896. The tonnage of all these vessels amounted in 1896 to 4,703,880 tons; in 1897, 4,769,020 tons, and in 1898 to 4,749,788 tons.
