As shown, the material is cashmere in brilliant Ox ford red, with the dots embroidered iu white silk, and vest and under sleeves in white mousseline and cream lace. The fichu drapes the ligure with s?ug?!9r grace, and ike double sleeves add a touch of quaintness mat greatly adds to the whole. The design will be found adaptable for stout as well as slender figures, as the drapery ta pers sufficiently to apparently reduce the size of the waist and is nowhere full enough to become bulky. As shown, the frills are of thc material cut bias and edged with narrow black velvet, which clings to the figure, while the color tends to au effect of slenderness. The foundation for the waist is a fitted lining with single darts. On this are arranged the parts of the waist proper, the yoke and the full front. The two latter are joined and attached permanently to the right side of the lining and hooked into place at the left, the lining closing at thc cen tre front. The fichu is draped round the neck and outlines the front, being attached to Its free edges. The sleeves are arranged over a fitted lining,which can also be used for the sleeve proper, If preferred. As shown, however, the lace cuff is faced on and the full Lioassellne is attached to its upper edge and again at the elbow, where it meets the upper sleeve that is cut in one piece. To cut this waist for a woman of medium size five yards of material twenty-one inches wide, three and one half yards twenty-seven inches wide, or two and three-quarter yards forty four inches wide, with one yard of mousseline and one yard of lace, will be required.

As illustra ted, it is of satin faced Venetian in castor color, with collar and cuffs of taffeta, and noakes a part of a costume, but the design is perfectly suited to the general wrap, and will be popular for all-round serv ice Uie season' through. The little capes give additional warmth, and the straight turn-over collar, with the slightly Haring cuffs, are features of the very latest designs. As shown in the small drawing tiie fronts eau be turned back, when the weather al lows, to form tapering revers that re veal the front of the gown. When closed the buttons serve to ornament the front, and may be of cut steel, in cameo or any handsome sort preferred. The back of the blouse is smooth, without fulness at any point. The fronts lit snugly at the upper portion, but are slightly full and pouched over rho bolt. There are no darts, the fit ting bein: accomplished by shoulder and uuder-ann seams. The capes and the collar close nt the oentre front, the edges of the latter being concealed when the blouse is worn open. Th/i sleeves are two-seamed, r.rid lit styl' ly.

The last is some :TH DODBLE CAPE._ , what odd in its effect, and nothing is quite so smart as tan cloth in ite rad ons shades. The coat is cut with straight fronts and is fitted with shoulder aud under arm seams that curve well back. Thc collar is joined to the neck, and is faced with velvet, then turned back, with the self-faced fronts that form revers. The edges and seams arc nil stitched, and pockets are inserted in each front. The coat is lapped over in double-breasted fashion, and closed with buttons and buttonholer The sleeves are two-seamed and fit stylish ly. To cut this reefer for a girl of eight BOX REEFER. years of age one and one-quartev yard of material fifty-four inches wJ?c, or two and one-half yards twenty-seven Inches wide, will be required. THE prospecter seeking for in vestment need not dig below the surface in the Philippines. The culture and harvesting of hemp is the biggest gold mine he will find. The islands seem to have been especially made for the benefit of the abaca plant. The moist though not swampy country to the south of Manila, the Camar?n :s, Samar, Ley te and Cebu, would produce a solid over growth ^f the abaca trees if left to take Ls own course. The tree Itself resembles closely the banana palm, but differs essentially in the fineness of its fibre and its bar renness of fruit. The natives, too, seem to have been especially provided for the hemp coun try. T?nning to improvidence and in dolency, the hemp industry furnishes them employment whenever they run short of rice and tobacco, for hemp can be harvested almost at any time except duiing the short rainy season. Attempts have been made to trans plant the hemp trees, taking them ouij as far away as Borneo, but the musa textiles refused to cohabitate with any but Philippine soil. The Pacific slopes of the volcanic regions of the Islands produce the best plants. Although the abaca tree coddles to thin soil, and rather dry, quickly drained localities, the trunk and leaves demand frequent and abundant moisture. Given the proper conditions, the vast plantations will thrive like asparagus beds. Very little cultivation is required; an occa sional weeding and a replanting nt the harvest time and nature does the rest. The crop !s not gathered as if it were a corn field, but the trees are found in all stages of growth, and the native passes through regular routes, slashing a plant here and there, his practiced eye the sole judge of its ma turity. Three years is the proper age for harvesting. The hemp-stripper goes forth much as a huntsman HARVESTING THE ABACA,OR HEMP PLANT. would. "With his bolo in belt and a bamboo canteen full of rice slung over his shoulder, he hies himself to the uplands. After feeling the plauts, which at the age of three years are about ten feet high, he proceeds to clip off a shoot and rep.ant lt. After a number of trees are cut the strip ping process begins. All the leaves are torn off and the outer skin of the s'nlk is peeled off. Inside of the trunk Is a pithy suustauce. and around this are layers of fibre imbedded in a soft juicy substance. The fibre must bc separated from the stalk at once lest it rot. Many Americans have cher ished the idea of exporting the trunk intact, but the enterprise is not feasi ble because of the perishable nature of the pulpous scgrement. A bamboo-made bench is Impro vised, and at one end the stripper binds his bolo; the handle attached to his foot by another bamboo strip. Across the blade he draws the stalk until the fibre Is thoroughly separated without injury, preserving its length of from eight to ton feet, and leaving it fine and beautiful that the tropical sun may lick up the moisture stili bleeding from the operation. The work of stripping is very tiresome and requires the skill of a trained hand. The white man has often attempted to Improve upon tho brown man's method of stripping the hemp, but de spue larg,' expenditures and ingenious mechanical contrivances no machine has been produced that takes the place of the native. Patents have IJ?cn taken out, and large sums of money spent upon experimental machines, but tile lexture and peculiar nature of the abaca plant seem to require the touch of human hands to separate Its parts. As well try to produce a ma chine to co.nb thc snarls out of a wom an's hair as to make a mechanical hemp-stripper. The native is paid for his work in hemp, dividing the product equally willi the plantation owner. When he cuts and strips all he can carry, ho twists up thc fibre Into a great roll and goes down to the plantation own er's bous-, and there the division is k c UNLOADING I made. rJhey then hang up tho rolls until the middle man or contractor comes along and a bargain is struck. The bales are crudely fastened to gether and carried to the nearest port and shipped usually to Manila, wheo they are separated, rebaled ad shipped eithor to Hong Kong, m& there I* an immeuao rope-walk, prto New York, Boston or London. : rne rope-walk at Hong Kong Is one of he largest in thc world. Its product poe tically supplies China, Japan and iis tralia. Very little hemp ls made ato rope or twine in Manila. Althpgh crude rope-walks exist in diffexnt parts of the Island, their manuf.c tured article, although strong ad durable, would not compete In the Cr eigh market. Hemp subserves eyry purpose that leather might with: he BAjfo?G ] sandals, native. He twists it into sam uses it for harnesses, and lt answers for bindet s in the building of his nipa hut. The utility of hemp is well Un derstood to the Filipino. The finer quality Is selected and reserved [for weaving purposes, being made up jnto really handsome cloth, while the or dinary hemp ls universally n??? t? ni.ii-"0 ? - . -?uotry of the x-niilppioes is still worked by primi tive methods and with simple contriv ances. 1ha native, though unambi tious himself, is jealous of the China man, and ls averse to the Celestial get ting control of the plantations or con tracts, while scorning up-to-date meth ods himself. The ',Cheno," however, has made inroads in this industry, as well as In others in the Philippines. Had he not, the development wouhl not have been ns rapid as lt has. The native Is thoroughly capable, and un derstands the treatment of the plant and its harvesting, and could he be Induced to work w?r?i regularity would be as good a laborer as the Chlnara man, but the Celestial usually controls DnXIXG HEMP ON A MANILA WHARF. the baling and local marketing of the hemp. ? . . The presses nt the seaport towns are crude affairs. After the fibre ls classi fied and separated into three piles or classes, it is dumped in bulk into a huge press and a screw applied. Af ter this operation it is taken out and put Into nuother press of more regular design nnd of more imposing charac ter. The second press is operated by an eight-armed capstan on an over head platform, and a score or more of naked coolies, usually Chinese, push it around. The sight is most amusing. With grunts, laughs and confused jar gon and raillery they urge each other on and manage to bring their strength together at loudly accentuated periods. A good-sized press will turn out 300 to 400 bales a day, and In the course of ii year a million or more bales are prepared ur shipment. In Cebu large quantities are handled, principally the products of Leyte and Samar, al though in Manda the largest presses are in operation. 1EMP AT CEBU. Tho classification of hemp requires the skill of an old hand, and the expe rienced eye of a buyer who knows all the tricks of the trade. The native will bring his hemp down from the lantation in n moist state and otter : for salo at night, hoping thus to fool lie middle-man as to weight and qual :y, hut as this part of the business li lostly in the hands of the Chinese, bore ls little danger that they will e deceived or cheated. The Chiua lan is the sharpest bargain-driver in lie world, and whether it is hemp, ilk or old junk, he ls fully capable f looking after his interests. Fine ess of libre, color, strength and ;ngth determine the value and grade f hemp. If lt bc carefully stripped ver a smooth knife, immediately and horougkly dried, and of good leagth, : will bring the highest price. If ft e carelessly stripped, juice being left a the fibre, it loses Its color and be omes coarse. It then is considered f a second and third grade quality ud brings a smaller price. The na ive watches the market, and if he ear tiat tho demand is heavy he akes advantage of the middle-man nd compels him to pay first-grade trices for secord and third grade pro Suets. Formerly hemp brought in Ma illa from $70 to 8150 per ton, always luctuatlnj according to the supply, it times going up to $300 per ton, but it present the price Is practically pro liibitive, and it looks as If it would remain so for the next two years.-Ed win Wildman, in Harper's Weekly. T?CS CO IN SHOE LEATHER. Canine Footgear an Worn in t> o Klondike. A DOO SHOE TOK KLONDIKE WEAR, that the animals become practically useless, and must be abandoned, tc thc endangerment of the life of the traveler who has put his trust in ca nine motive power. As a precaution against misfortune of this kind lt has been a comm oe thing to wrap the dog's feet in cloth, a piece of leather or rubber. At best all of these, however, were crude and poorly adapted to carry out the desired object. Tiley protected the dogs' feet, but at the same^timc interfered with the free use of their legs. The devel opment of the Klondike has given spe cial impetus lo the demand for some proper protection for dogs' feet. The dog's shoe, of which thc accom panying photograp] was sent from the far Northwest1 to Shoe and Leather Facts, Is made of chronic tanned elk leather, and the upper of calf, making a soft, pliable and yet comfortable shoe. There is a tongue at Hie back, and tiie lacings are at the back of thc leg instead of on the front, because a dog's knee bends just opposite from a man's. The dogs, it is said, take very kindly to these shoes. They become so ac customed to wearing them that they don't Uko to go without them, with the result that on thc trail they will often come up to the driver lu thc morning and hold out their legs to have their shoes put on, not unlike children. If by chance the shoes should be laced too tight, they will whine and speedily make manifest their discomfort, wagging their tails with joy when the shoes are laced to their liking. Wild Sheep Shooting. Tho sheep began to move toward us. It had been a long climb to get be yond and above them, but now w had our reward. On they came, only two hundred yards away. I could see their white niuzzles.as though they had been sticking their noses into a flour bag. Now I could see the wrin kles in the horns of thc rams. Thc hoofs of the advancing flock made a swishing, patteriug souud, and they were only fifty yards away. I took the nearest rani, and he never drew breath again. Johnnie's forty-four barked spitefully. He made a neat hit on another ram, further away than my already dying victim, but failed to stop if. Those sheep did not sall away like deer, touching hero and there a high place. They flattened themselves out, shot around a corner, and were gone. Johnnie followed, and I was alone. In a few seconds I heard Johnnie's guu feebly thumping away. There was no echoing roar, such as you hear in the thick woods. I picked my way cautiously after Johnnie, and when I saw the jumps he had made, and thc chances he had taken. I knew there was much for me to learn about hasty mountain travel. Johnnie shot six times, and two hundred yards ahead, on the crooked, rocky descent the sheep had taken. I found him on his knees by the big ram. Three bul lets had struck.-Scribner's. TRAMPING IN FINE RAIMENT. Leaning on II lit Cold- Beaded Cane, Ila T?I?i of ll lit II ?ni-L p Condition. A trump, attired in silk tile and Prince Albert coat, set East Twenty seventh street agog with conjecture tho other day. Spotless linen, a clean shaven face and a glib tongue added to the make-up of the beggar. Many thought him to be an estray from the ranks of thc Cook County Marching (dub of Chicago, which cut such a dash here during the Bryan notifica tion meeting. Early. In the morning he appeared at the kitchen door of the home of Fred O. Ball. Ash and Twenty-seventh streets. Ile trembled as hu spoke of the hardship that ill-luck had forced upon him. He leaned on a gold-head ed cune as ho told Mr. Ball of his hunger. '.This is my first visit to any man'? back door, my friend," he said in a tone of pathos. "This is the first tim-.? I ever begged in my life, and I'll give you this my last nickel, for a bit? of breakfast." He held out a nickel to the man whom he sought to be his good Samaritan, but Mr. Ball refused lt. Mr. Ball led him into the kitchen, and soon the handsome beggar was mak ing away with a bowl of oatmeal and offering profuse thanks between spoon fuls. Ile had the tone of a polished man, and when he had finished a good meal he arose to go. Turning to Mr. Ball, he said: "My young friend, you will yet hear from this act of kindness. I am a music teacher by profession and have taught In some of the best conservatories In the country. Mis ' fortune overtook me and I confess that I right now I nm holding the short end. : But I'll pull out yet nnd will remember ' you."

If nil the mountains in the world were leveled, the average height of : and land would rise nearly 250 feet. The old Chinese Idea of fortifying was to Include ns great an area as possible within a more or less 'impos ing wall. Thus Nanking has 27 n?" . ' of city wall. A submarine boat, to be propelled by ?able traction, has been designed . by a French Inventor, for crossing the English channel. It will accommo date about 250 passengers, and will make the journey in about an hour. An Inventor has hit upon a method of putting stone soles on boots and with a suitable quantity of " clean quartz sand nnd spreads lt over the leather sole used as a foundation. These quartz soles are said to be very flexible and to give the foot a firm hold even on the most slippery sur face. In a large rookery of flying foxes on the Island of Tonga ta tu near Nuka lofa, the bats, about 8000 in number, occupy the tops of 14 large trees In thc midst of the village. The rookery Is carefully protected by the chief of the village, who permitted the natural ist to take away only three specimens. It was understood that they had been guarded by the people from time lin. memorial. There are several trees and plants in the world whose berries, juice or nark are as good to wash with as real soap. In the West Indian islands and In South America grows a tree whosa fruit makes an excellent lather and li used for washing clothes. The bark of a tree which grows in Peru, nnd o? another which grows in the Malay islands, yields a fine soap. The com mon soapwort, which in indigenous tc England, is so full of saponine thqt simply rubbing the leaves together in water produces a soapy lather.

Snyder, the celebrated barber, had been In profound thought as he ran his razor carefully over the face of * pet customer, who knew that some j ?ling was coming. Finally Snydei said: "I thought seriously for a while of putting In a cash register; but I've given up the idea, lt wastes too uracil time. I have live assistants, nnd there are six of us in all. The shop is ojien 12 hours a day, from seven in thc morning until seven In the evening. lt takes on an average ten minutes to shave a customer, and my shoji is generally kept going. Now, il would take each barber at least a min ute to ring up each shave on the regis ter. At thc rate of IO minutes foi each shave in the 12 hours a barbel shaves 72 men. consequently, during thc course of a day, my five assistant* handle 300 men. The minute that eacli niau would take in dallying with n cash register would mean 71i minutes In the course of a day. You can set that the five men would thus consume 380 minutes at the cash register during the eourse of a day. This would br equivalent to 30 shaves, nnd ne my price ls J 5 cents a shave, this would mean $5.40 a day. No. I don't think I'll have any cash register li. this shop, Doos the razor hurt?"- Philadelphia Itecord.
