PEOPLE whose lines are cast *n PJeasant Prices. ' W* where nature is always ap^ proximately serene and smiling, who never really nave to struggle with her giant forces kor her more terrible moods, get in the habit of using big words for very small experiences. Every fall in the mercury becomes a cold wave, and every decent, ordinary storm is dubbed j ^ _ ?<! fnr.+ < ),? ! E^K a Dlizzaru. -AS U. ui;mn ui iuvi, u.v ; K genuine Western blizzard, when tlie j ?&, air is full of stinging, singing, frozen I particles, blowing six ways to a Sun-1 r day, when a man can't see six feet in j front of him, when all landmarks are j lost, and all signs fail, is something " of which the Eastern States are blessedly ignorant. Such an one came within the experience of the Rev. John Eastman, of South Dakota.'and he has ^ never forgotten it, nor is he likely to. ^ Mr. Eastman is a member of the Indewnkantan Sioux, an Indian with all the Indian stoicism, which belittles j* hardships for which the white race r would find few words strong enough. Yet his description of that night's ad ventures are tanning enougu iu jjruiv that the word blizzard is not one to be lightly applied to any little four-iDeh, hs we--behaved city snow fall. It was one Saturday evening when Mr. Eastman had been sitting cozily In front of a crackling fire after dinW ner. thinking over his sermon for the P following day. He was tired and the [ warmth and quiet were very grateful. I But he remembered that his horse was I tired, too. He had driven him twenty ^ miles that day and put him up unblanketed. And so, though he did not usually attend to the animals until Just before he went to bed. he decid ed to go out and make them comfortI# able early, and be done with chores for the night. "It was only a step from house to !? barn," says Dr. Eastman. "I did not think It worth while to take a lantern, but I did put on an overcoat when I K saw how stormy it was outside. It was a black night and there was a |B9b blizzard on. The wind was in my face and the fine hail stung like shot from a Kr rrTin T* folrlir hit- rnv rh#>PkS. SO that ? as I crossed the garden I turned to N have the wind at my back and get my V breath by walking backward a few ft minutes. I saw the light in the house ^ glowing faintly through the sleet, as I walked. Then for a few minutes Ibent my head and butted into the storm. When I turned again for breathing space I could not see the house. Neither, though I knew I had not gone KkH far enough, could I find the barn. I realized that I had gone wrong someBhA how, but it was not for some minutes that I understood that the situation BH was sorious and began to look for it. Eo9H I should have thought I could find my way to it blindfolded, but here I was zig-zagging back and forth and getW ting nowhere. ? "I don't know how long I cruised around as a dog would search a trail. It probably was only a few minutes. but it seemed an nour. it was xue longest part of the night's experiences. MF I was slow to confess to myself that, keen as I believed I was in prairieBag fraft, I was really lost, and could not Hi help myself even a little bit. I suppose I went around in a circle, but 8| thefre was no proof to my mind of the H ^ "The place was the prairie at Flan dreau, where I now live. It is as level H as this floor, and is now well settled, but then it was miles to any other S| .house. EJvery inch of the prairie was ? like every other inch. When I knew K I was lost I made up my mind to be |& as long as possible in freezing to death. H I gave up trying to find the barn and [ra just walked without thinking where I was going. I kept saying: 'Walk, walk, H .walk.' "That was easier said than done. I JjB haven't said anythirg about the cold, ai But it was cold. It was the most aw ful cold a man can feel. But I wel? ? corned every twinge as an assurance Itnat l was noiaing my own. uguuug off the numbness that would have meant death. My feet I kept alive by running every little while. Of course, I went with the wind a good deal. I realized that I shouldn't, and called myself a coward and forced myself as a moral duty to face it. And I fancy it was this moral duty that 6aved my life?kept me fighting something all night, though for that matter "P fought myself, calling myself a fool all the time. I pounded myself and occasionally even kicked myself. "Some time in the night the temperature must have moderated. At any rate, the snow began to stay where it fell. I have about given up all hope of living when suddenly I noticed it was harder to walk through the snow. Then I began to feel sleepy. It grew on me and I thought I would lie down and rest, for I was very tired. But I rebelled against this as a picce of folly. I kicked myself and again called myself a fool. "Then the first I knew I was down on my hands and knees in the snc.w. I guess I did not much realize my danger. I remember I noticed the pnow drifting around me. I had my back to the wind. I had found horses and cattle frozen to death, standing with their backs humped up against the wind. "I was conscious of the drift creep ?? T maM 4- A IlEg UP Oil me. liuu J. :aiu iu uii sen ijj.tv I was being slowly buried alive. I wondered who would find me. If they would know me, what they would say at first and what everybody would say as the news spread. I had found men frozen to death in a blizzard. One ,was a young boy. a tenderfoot. The others were not the best type of men. Drink as much as cold killed them. "My mind went chattering from one idea to another. I believe I kept myself alive by thinking, for the snow Was creeping on up over my back. I [ -*?- ? ? efMI oc T nnnld so as to Ipt I I_ ao oiiit ? ? It roof me over. I thought It would be days before they found me. I wondered how long I should lie there, and I thought of the wolves that might come when the snow had thawed a little and scatch down to rue and begin to gnaw my frozen flesh. I saw myself half eaten, my big muscles torn into shreds. I fancied the wolves would leave my face to the last, and so my | people would know me. After a while | I felt better. I did not know it. but it ! was warmer there under the snow, j My breath melted a little hole up I through the drift. The air was cold, j but it was the sweetest relief in the i worl l that it was still and not cutting like a million little whip lashes. 'Tresently I was able to press the snow around me back, and I found it would parte and stay, so I had a little room to move. It was fearfully cold still, and yet it was so much warmer th.in I had been that I was quite cheer fill. Then the thought came that perhaps I had really died and did not yet know it. This seemed after a minute to be funny, and for fhe first time that night I laughed, or thought I was I laughing: my face was frozen so I did I not move a muscle. J "It was about this time I noticed I could see a button right under my eye 011 my coat. The night had passed and it was daybreak. My mind took the fact in very slowly. I did not dare get up or move. I deliberated whether I should try to -get up. I almost decided * ' t to do it. And then with a snort and a grunt I was on my feet and shaking off the snow. I shall never forget the agony of that moment. If there was a muscle in my body that did not fairly shriek in a protest of pain it must have been in parts that were frozen. But I took a step forward and then tottered along and gradually learned again to walk." This is Mr. Eastman's side of the story, but of his wife's long watch through the night he cannot tell. He only knows that in the early dawn, when the sky was clear and a few stars shining faintly on the western horizon, lie saw n liuiucr iiwoc iu cm iu which he thought might be a house, and rubbing snow on his face to take out the frost, as he went, he struggled painfully toward it. As he drew near he saw some one coming from the opposite direction ? some one who proved to be his wife. She and the boys had been up all night and long before dawn had gone out to find him. He had been lost and well nigh died within eighty rods of the house. The boys were recalled by firing a gun. The' stock was found to be all right. And the minister's sermon was preached that day with a thankful spirit, but a mighty sore, stiff body. The Swazl Queen's Cow. The Johannesburg Star gives an amusing account of the interviews between Sir Arthur Lawley and the Queen Regent of Swaziland on the occasion of His Excellency's visit to the latter's country. "At the first confer ence the Queen Regent got up from her chair and walked to the table at which His Excellency sat, and, leaning over K, exclaimed in a stage whisper, which was audible on every side, 'I don't want to talk loudly about it. I just whisper it in your ear. but it is good I should tell you that before the war we used to receive money. Our beer pots are now empty.' At the end of the interview the dowager, in taking ner leave, remarked, 'We could have given you a welcome in cattle, but we are poor. All I have is one cow. It is so small I will not call it a cow; I will call it a goat. Therefore, I say, I give you a goat.' "His Excellency replied by telling her that he would give her three oxen as food for her people. "Subsequently the Queen Regent played about the grounds, dragging a toy elephant after her, which toy had been presented by Lady Lawley to a child of the late King. "At the conclusion of the ceremony the Queen desired to kiss Lady Lawley. an honor from which her ladyship. with much tact, mercifully escaped." Intelligent Use of the Shears. The editor who uses the shears intelligently, says,the Burlington Hawkeye, cannot be classed as a lazy editor. Be it understood that to read and understand and appreciate the writings of others and to be able to cull from the thoughts of a fellow editor the gist of his argument so as to give the readers the benefit is a task in comparison with which the writing of a long and ponderous "leading" editorial Is child's play. To have the mind capable of recognizing and culling the gems of thought irom excnanges is not uiziuess. iu read with care the numerous editorial pages that come to an exchange table so as to be thoroughly in touch with the thought of the day and to select with intelligence the best of this editorial thought is not laziness. It is the hardest part of a conscientious newspaper editor's work. The brightest editorial pages in the State or nation are those which contain. in addition to the thoughts of the editor, a well selected symposium of extracts from other newspapers. It is this sort of editorial pace which is of the most value to a discriminating reader, and it conveys more genuine thought and imparts more pleasure to the student of the world's affairs. Indian Poverty. In a paper which he read before the British Association. Sir Robert Giffeu put the annual income of the 300,000.000 people inhabiting British India and the feudatory States at $2,340,000,000, or $7S per cipita. Writing to the London Times. William Digby. the Indian authority, asserts that this is an overestimate. He says there- is not so grest an income, actually, for the 300,000.000 of to-day as there was for 230.000,000 twenty years ago. He says that the total visible income of India in 1900 was $1,449,799,595, which gives each individual less than $50 a year to live on. In the Presidency of Madras he estimated that the income of the 34.000.000 inhabitants is fiveeighths of a penny per head per day. Sorrows Like Clouds. Sorrows are often like clouds, which though black when they are passing over us, when they are past become as if they were the garments of God thrown off in purple and gold along the sky. If each man had the spirit of self-surrender, the spirit of the cross, it would not matter to him whether he were doing the work of the mainspring or one of the inferior parts.

The * one shown in the large drawing is both ' novel and handsome and allows of va^ ' riations without number. The model, 1 however, is made of broadcloth, in the ' new shade known as Lombard}* plum, 1 with the epaulettes and cuffs of velvet ' in the same color overlaid with applique of heavy lace, the square yoke < and collar of cream chiffon, tucked and 1 enriched with lace, and trimming of fancy braid piped with velvet. The ' color is as beautiful as it is new and ' ! the combination of materials singu- 1 larly rich and attractive, but tne gown can be made entirely of velvet, of cloth [ or of similar material. As illustrated 1 the closing is made invisibly at the left f shoulder seam and beneath the trimming at the left front seam, but it can be effected at the centre back if pre- 1 ferred. ' The gown is made with centre fronts, : j side fronts, backs, side backs and un- 1 ! der-arm gores. Both the centre <front j and the back are full length, but the 1 | side fronts, tinder-arm goers and side i backs are lengthened by the circular J flounce which is joined to the edges of j the front and the backs. ? The epaulettes are arranged over the shoulders 1 and the neck is finished with a regulation stock. The sleeves are among the : newest of the season, and show d?>ep 1 flare cuffs, which extend well over the ' Lands, and above them form full drooping puffs. | The quantity of material required for ; the medium size is fourteen and a ' quarter yards twenty-one inches wide, I twelve yards twenty-seven inches wide I or seven and a quarter yards fortyJ four inches wide, with seven-eighth yards of velvet, three-eighth yards of . tucking and six yards of braid to trim as illustrated. i The Straight Skirt. Aeeording to a Paris correspondent of Le Bon Ton. the straight skirt, very full over the hips, is the thing, but a few flounces are still worn and quite a ' few fancy tucked skirts, that is, the t tucking put in waved or curved designs j ( 37er the entire skirt. a The straight skirts are twkfrd, i paens pleated or shirred over the hips; some are box pleated, the fulness falling in straight lines below. One model has very fine side pleats stitched down flat with about five rows of stitching. Others are shirred about five inches down. These skirts are not made with much ' train, but are very long all around. , They are often embellished with trimming set on around the bottom, ; some have flounces shirred on with a | heading. These are even used in j cloth, but the latter is of such fine, soft quality that it is easily adapted to j such purposes. Panel effects are used to a great extent and give long, graceful lines. Very Fashionable Stockings. Stockings of striking effect have naK row bands of lace inset, many of them of contrasting colors, the most striking being black in white. An inch band of lace in some of the stockings undulates serpentine fashion over the instep and up the leg. In other stockings the inch bands are put in to form conventional designs over the instep, and in others inch bands of lace are set around the stocking from the ankle, perhaps the length of it. * \ Hats For Ultiel> M.sses' hats are very large, thfc crowns are quite high, and are either trimmed with a very long plume, caught in with a .buckle at the front of the crown and drooping over the brim at the side, or else the crown is surrounded with very short tips. . Filmy Princess Dresses. We hear of tulle and mousseline prii* ress dresses, but, of course, these filmy fabrics are but "superstructure," requiring as a foundation a perfect dress of handsome silk.

A few months ago the son of a railway director was, through his father's nfluence, given a position of some importance on a large railway. He was fresh from Cambridge, and in the orlers which he from time to time issued to the men under him always nade use of the longest, most unusual tvords. This habit led to some rather expensive blunders, and, the matter coming before the general manager, le wrote the young official the following letter: "In promulgating your esoteric cogitations and in articulating your superficial sentimentalities and amicable, philosophical, or psychological obserrations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity.
