Late reports from the city of Paris announce that the succes sor of the ridiculous hobble skirt As soon to appear. It is to be a new form of divided skirt. not, suited only to equestrianism, but designed for street wear as well. It is to be an almost exact repro duction of the costumes worn by the harem ladies in Turkey. con-. sisting of a long, loose divided skirt, itting tightlv at each ankle. Mr. Paul Poiret. an authority on fashions, recently announced that, early in the year he really in tends to attempt to popularize this garment as a conventional costume for women. "This is a long-cherished am bition of mine. he said. --The hobble skirt has had its day. arid my clients are tiring of the un gainly gait which it makes oblig atory. The Turkish ladies' cos tume has long appealed to me asI being most sensible, hygienic and graceful. Moreover, it com plies perfectly with the present day craze for skirts which are tight at the ankles, only instead of having her movements imped ed by a single skirt, woman is to have a skirt to each ankle. "Of course, petticoats will not be worn. Indeed, to my mind the petticoat is doomed. The new costume will be made in each case to the requirements, and the division can be made either high or low as desired. I am not in troducing the garment solely as a walking costume. I irtend to make the new creation as artistic and stylish as anything I have ever created. "As a walking costume it will, of course, be unrivalled for com fort and elegance. For sports and gymnastics it will fulfill to perfection the requirements of the athletic girl. At races and the theatre I hope it will appear in its most aesthetic form. C-er tainly it will add to the charm and beauty of the feminine fig ures as no other mode has done. How will Parisiennes accept the uovelty? Ah, that is the ques tion!" Even the most earrest and zealous prohibitionists willdoubt less concede the soundness of the decision of our Supreme Court, handed down last week, which holds that, as the law of this State provides for the sale of liquor by county dispensaries, a legal sale and purchase car ries the right to the purchaser to keep in his possession the liquor he has purchased, pro vided he does not apply it to an unlawful use. The court does not stop here, however, but goes on to say that one may lawfuliy keep in his possession liquor purchased for personal use un der the protection of the inter state commerce clause of the Federal coratitution, and any attempt by the legislature to in terfere with this right would be futile. The committee on war claims in Congress last Monday decided not to ask for the passage at the present session of the omnibus claims bili in which were includ ad many claims of residents of she South for damages done to property by Federal troops dur ,ng the War of Secession and for other losses sustained during that~ ,eriod. Strong opposition had risen to the bill because it con :ained provisions for settling the F'rench spoliation claims and the >pposition brought about the aresent action, which ends all 1ope for the bill at this session >f congress. Opposmon to send ng to the South so much money ts the bill carried among its pzro :isions is also said to have been >ack of the bill's defeat. Senator S. J.

About the only line in which we have the world beaten to a frazzle is in the matter of granting liberal pensions to the just and unjust alike. There are those who think that Cole L.

In 1t'0) our church sent out women as pioneers in home mnis sions other than preaching and parsonage building. Nobody knew what we would find exactly: but whatever it a-as we were to find it and do it. We bean with the. nearest things. We vtsited the sick. in vited strangers to church. gath ered children into Sunday school]. held prayer meetings in jails.fed the widow and fatherless.prayed with fallen women. and minis tered as best we could to the sor row, sin, and suffering about us. We are doing these things yet and more and more: but in the doing we come upon unexpected things. We found children too tired to come to Sumiay school, because thtey worked fouriteen hours a night six nights in a week. Was it home missions to aul these exhausted bodies t' churchy or had we also a Chris tian duty in regard to the igno rance, greed, and indifference which was stunting the children-s bodies and souls ? We found boys -just as mischievous, untrained fellows often-hurded in the jails wth hardened criminals, hard ened doubtless by th esame pro cess at work farther back. Was it home missions to pray with these young people Sunday after noons and let the devil have the rest of the week with them? or did loyalty to Chr ist require a demand for reformi schools, juve nile courts. the indetermmnate sentence-ev ery thing that would gve praying a fair chance with these boys? And did the church owe them anytimu- before they ever landed in iail. We clothed and fed. we clothe and feed, the wife and children of the tramp and the drunkard. But was that the whole of home miissions to tat family? Would Christ like it better if also we would tind a way to arr-est the drunkard and the vagrant. prevent his mtak:ng paupers of hs children and build up his own fallen manhoody Was that home missions too? --And he that i, :u o fr us is agaist us."
