That hat, I'll vager}! was her milliner's supreme inspiration." TlielOOO Shirt VTaUt. Instead of giving up the shirt waist, as fashion arbiters seemed determined they sh.ild, women have decided that it is the most useful article in their wardrobes, aud this season will cling to it more determined than ever. The differences in style betweeu the new ones for the season of 1900 and those of last year are principally matters of small detail. Bayadere aud bias effects will be entirely out this summer, while vertical effects will be en regie; Tucks will again be the height of vogue. Fan-shaped tucKR are, perhaps, the newest and most novel innovation. For backs, however, the perfectly plain French back fashionable last summer will obtain to a certain extent, while a back with a cluster of tucks on either side, either parallel or forming the fan-shape, will have wide vogue, too, being newer. In materials, percales, ginghams, madras and cheviot c,re favorites, and will be more worn than ever. Stripes will be largely in the ascendency in pattern designs. White lawn will be uuch used for midsummer wear. . The sketches presented herewith f "faSTI nes That Have 3e- || \ the Metropolis. are from the very first shewing cf the coming season's wash shirtwaists, the first one being a particularly desirable model. It has fourteen boxplaits on the front, a French back, with five box-plait9 down the centre, ami the new Dewey collar. The new V or fan-shaped tucking is illustrated in the second one, the front having two bias clusters of twelve each, and the back has five vertical tucks tfn each side of its centre. The shapingof these tucks is very becoming, giving as it doeo breadth across the shoalder, and a taper to the waist. The third waist shows the use tof embroidery combined with the tucksk, and. while it is more decorative, many women prefer not to use it, as | they think it detracts from the distinctiveness of the shirt waist, as bej ing a tailor-made garment and an ad! junct to a tailor-made suit. Consequently they prefer no trimming on a wash shirt waist other than tucks or machine stitching, depending for a dressy separate waiat^ on a regular tight-fitting, triramed-silk waist. Notice the clustered efiect ot tne tucks oa all the waists, and just on either side of the centre back and front, as opposed to the spaced tucking all over the waist, back, front and i sleeves, so-inodish last season. Anything for. a change! Poor femininity evidently will have to change those last summer's tucked all-over shirt waists that -were the pride of her j heart, but which now, oh blighting words! are last summer's mode.

The great table-land in the south has a mean altitude of over 3500 feet; the wide table-land on the north has an average elevation of about 1300 feet. If the weather is exceptionally clear, and a 6trong glass is used, a large vessel can be sighted five or six miles at sea, either from the bridge or look out station, fifty or sixty feet above the water, and if the vessel sighted be a steamship, her smoke can sometimes be detected before her' ii?ii 'iTa iri'uihio Takinsr the ptauno ui uun .?*v w height of the observer in feet, and extracting the square root, the result approximately expresses in miles the distance at which the sea's surface can be seen from a ship. In a controversy recently started in Europe as to the eminence of "sunny Italy," "sunny Spain" or "sunny France," it is shown mathematically that Spain was the country best entitled to the designation "sunny," for Spain is the country in which in all-Europe the number of sunny days ia largest in the year, Italy following and France coming third. The rainfall in ' Seville is twenty-two inches a year, or nearly an inch a year less than in the city of San Francisco, an apparent discrepancy, which is explained by the fact, that when it rains in Seville it rains very hard, whereas a rainstorm in San Francisco does not rise usually to tlie dignity of mucn more man a shower. What is known to geographers as the Cordilleras de Ios Andes is the longest and the highest range of ciountaiiis in .the world. It extends from Tierra del Fuego to the Isthmus :>f Panama, and although ,some of the peaks of the Himalayas are higher Lhey are not as numerous or as accessible. There two ranges of the Andes almost parallel, the Second range being known as the Cordilleras del la Costa, which follows the const line of the Pacific from Chile to Ecuador, being broken atintervals by vast deserts >iid being irregular in direction and :n sequence. The main range, which is the backbone of the South American jontinent, is familiarly known as the* Cordilleras. The shorter range is usu?lly referred to as the Andes. Young long-leaf pines, according to. Mr. Pinchot, of the Department of'.' t Agriculture, protect themtrelve^'. against forest fires in & moatfBrferefit-. ing and remarkable mannfl or five years the stems ofjHBjflUK trees attain a height of and that alone giveajsome protection. Bnt in addition, .too long }ne?dles spring up above the stem,vandthen over on all sides "in a green cascade which falls to tbia ground in a circle i about the seedling." This green bar- j rier can -with difficulty be made to burn, while the shade that it casta prevents inflammable grass from growing near the protected stem. Mr. Pinchot thinks thas it is owing to this peculiar system of self-protection which the pine seedlings have developed tbat the growth of evergreen oaks in Florida has been restricted in regions where fires have raged while pure pine forests have taken their place. _~ How a Boor Signs His Name, The Boer may be fairly good at handling a rifle, but he is sadly deficient in his ability to haudle a pen.

Ignorance of War of British Army Ofllccrd The British officers do not seem to understand enough of the art of war. It is to be doubted if barrack life in England and the colonies is condu- J cive to the acquirement of the art. From what we have read of it, we should think that in military circles the officers regard military exercise somewhat of a bore, and the army a profession rather than a trade. Social life, or how to make the service endui*able, is the main thing. Dress parades now and then, a tour of duty at Aldershot,.8ome meals taken in bar racks, pool at club, a run uowu 10 London for the opera or tlie music hall; or a visit to a friend's country placte?so pass tlie liours for the younger gentry who have found place as officers of her Majesty's military establishment.?Mobile Daily Register. .?

Subject: Tlie Aflairgof Otherg?The Bmy. body Hag a Miggion to Perform When Iliw Motive lg Good?Search Out the Miserable and Offer Them Consolation[Copyright, Loui1- Klopscli, 1900.] Washington, D.

It was 500 years of goodness or 500 years of meanoess instead of goodness or meanness for forty or fifty years. Well, Simon Peter, who was a keen observer of what was going on around him, one day caught sight of a man whose characteristics were severe inspection and blatant criticism of the affairs belonging to people for whom he had ao responsibility, and with the hand once orownoa and hardened by Ashing tackle irew this portrait for all subsequent ages, 'A busybody in other men's matters/' That kind of person has ,been a trouble maker in every country since the world stood. Appointing himself.to the work of Mcploration and detection, be goes forth mischief making. He generally begins by reporting the infelicity discovered. He is the advertising agent of infirmities and 3ome3tic inhnrmony and occurrences that but for him would never have come to the public eye or ear. He feels that the secret ought to be hauled out Into light and herr oIHpH TP hft mo OTiA linn nf it into the newspapers, that lie feqls to be a noble achievement to start wltb.

Tho most J 3f the scandals abroad are the work of the jne whom Peter in the text styles "a busybod y in other men's nutters."' . First, notl?0 that such a mission is most j andesirable, because we all require all the < time we can get to take care of our own affair?. To carry ourselves through tiia '.rcucherous straits of this life demands :hat we Wl the. time keep our band on the ] wheel of our owii craft. While, ns I shall 1 jbowyou beforelget tbr6ugh, weall have ' i mission of kindness to others,-we have 1 ao time to waste in .doing that which is I iamaglng to others.1 There is our worldly calling, which must 1 oe looked after or it will become a failure. 1 Whd succeeds in anything without concen- ' trating all bis ...energies upon that one ] ;hing? jUittio)?Whotry to do many things jq to piece# eft Iter as to their health ot ' n/-?

Those men disturbed by the faults J of others are themselves tho depot at which ' whole trains of faults arrive and from which 1 whole trains of faults start. The men who s have succeeded in secular things or relig- j lous thiDgs will tell you that they have no :ime for hunting out the deflclts'of others. ! On the way to their counting room they < may have heard that a firm In the same 1 line of business was in trouble, and they 1 aid, "Sorry, very sorry." But thoy went ' iii and sat down nl their table and oponed i :1m book containing a toll statement of * their affairs to see if tbejJ wero in peril of ' lieing caught in a similar cyclone. Gadders about town,-' with hands in ' pockets and hats set far back on the lioad, ] waiting to hoar balerul news, are failures ' now or will be failures. Christlau men ' ind women who go round with mouth I ind looks full of interrogation points to ? Qud how some other church member is < liven to exaggeration or drinks too much ' 3r neglects his home for greater outside ' attractions have themselves so little grace ' In their hearts that no one suspects they 1 have any. In proportion as people are i 3onsecrated and holy nnd useful they are ' lenient with others and disposed to say: 1 "Wait until wo hear the other side of that < matter. I cannot believe that charge made i against that man or woman until we have ' some better testimony than that given I by these scandal mongers. I guess it is a 1 lie.'-' Furthermore, we are incapacitated for i tLe supervlsul of others because we cannot see all sides of thf affair reprehended. People are generally cot so mucli to blame as we suppose. It is never rl?!it to do ' wrong, but tliere may be alleviations. There may have arisen a conjunction of circumstances which would have flung any i one of u?. The world gives only one side of the transaction, and that is always the worst side. That defaulter at the banlc who loaned money be ought not to have loaned did it for the advantage of another, not for his own. That young man who i purloined from his employer did so bocause his mother was dying for the lack of medleiv.e. Tint young woman who went wrong did not get enough wages to keep her from starving to death. Most people who make moral shipwreck would do right i iu some exigency, but they huve not the courage to sny "No." Furthermore, we make oufijfljves adis-,? gnsting spectacle when we booome busybodies. What a diabolical enterprise those undertake who are ever looking for ttfe moral lapse or downfall of others! As the human race is a most imperfect race, all , such hunters find plenty of game. There have been sewing societies in churches which tore to pieces more reputations than they made garments for the poor. With their sarcasms and sly hints and depreciation of motives they punctured morn good names than they had needles. With their 9cissors they cut character bias and back) ?titched every evil report they got hold of. Meetings of boards of directors have some limes ruinea goou Business ineu uy Humiliations ngainst them. The bad work nuty uot have been doue so much bywords, for r.Iiey would bo libelous, but by a twinkle of tlio eye or a shrug of the shoulder or a sarcastic accentuation of a word. "Yos, lie is all.right when tfe is sober.'* "Have you inquired Into that man's history?" "l?o you know what business he was in before lie entered this?" "I move that the application be laid on th t table uutil some Investigations now going on are consummated." It Is easy enough to start a suspicion that will Vever dowD, but what a despicable man is the one who started it! All people make mistakes?say things that arterward they are sorry for and miss opportunity of uttering the right word and doing the right thing. But when they say their prayers at night these defects are sure to be mentioned somewhere between the name of the Lord, for whose morcy they plead, nnd the amen that closes the snppllcatiou.

I am afraid tbe Imperfections ft others will kill us yet. The habit I deplore is apt to show itself in tbe visage. A kindly man who wishes everybody well soon demonstrates his disposition in bis looks. His features may fracture all the laws of handsome physiognomy, but God puts into that mau's eyes and in the curve of bis nostrils and in the ui)per and lower lip the signature of Divine approval. And you see it at a glance, as plainly as though it had been written all over bis face in rose color: "This is one of My princes. He is on the way to coronation. I bless him now with all tbe benedictions that infinity can afford. Look at him. Admire bim. Congratulate him."

Such people are never sympathized with although they need nn infinity of solace. Domestic mistakes. Social mistakes. Ecclesiastical mistakes. Political mistakes. There is a public man who has made a political mistake from which he will never recover. At the next elections he will be put back aud put down.iuto a place of disapproval from which lie will never rise.

That man's mat:ers neeil looking after In this respect, rbere are 10,000 men and women who need four help and need It right away. They lo not sit down and cry. They make no ippeal for help, but within ten yards of where you sit in church and within ten minutes' walk of your home there are people in enough trouble to make them ihriek out witti agony if they had not resolved upon suppression.

Upon nil that luster and renown and environment o,{ splendors He turned His back and put down His crown at the foot of His throne and on a bleak D9cember night trod His way down to a stone house In Bethlehem of our world. Wrapped in what plain shawl, and pursued with what enemies on swift camels,; and howled at with what brigands, and thrust with what sharo lances, and hidden in what sepul chru'l crypt until the subsequent centuries have tried in vain to tell the story by sculptured cross, and painted canvas, and resounding doxologiefl, and domed cathedral, ami redeemed nations.
