Her New Pose.
Most girls change their manner?
along with their clothes, and now tliat
lingerie gowns and baby hats ha-?e
come into vogue an ingenuousness of
demeanor is affected by many of the
wearers thereof. The tall, athletic
maiden, who has taken to muslines, no
longer defies conventions or glories in
being called "a jolly good sort," but
is nestling closely under her chncerone's
sheltering wing. Tan. too, which
was acquired by hours spent under a
broiling sun, seems to have lost its
charm, for only the most delicate of
skins appears to advantage against
light, fluffy attire. Some girls, following
the example of a leader, wear
their veils even while playing tenms.
There may be a lack of genuineness in
this departure, but it has the charm
of novelty.

Linncrie Shirts and Hats.
Every single penny that can be saved
out of the dress aiowance, whether it
be of the smallest or largest description,
should be devoted now to the purchase
of lingerie shirts. Nothing is
, - going to be more fashionable in the
immediate future than white embroidered
blouses, very simply ma.de so that
the embellishment that is given them
is not overshadowed at all by the extravagance
cf the manner in which
they are constructed. Shirts one mass
of broderie Anglaise are modish, and
shirts covered with medallions of
raised embroidery with eyelet holes
here and there are equally fashionable.
They look delightful with a tailormade
coat and skirt costume, and as
they wash like a rag they are not
really extravagantly costly purchases.
Many of these lovely shirts are made
in Ireland, where so much white wear
?. is embroidered.

Miscellaneous Marriages.
No one knows what type will be the
best for survival in an unknown future
environment. We often see the "exl&j
tinction of families of parents whom
any physician would have pronounced
ideal, but their children lacked resistance
to the invasion of pathogenic organisms
or there was some other de.
* feet which made them easy targets for
climatie causes of physical decay.
On the other hand, we quite often
find that parents below par physically
have fine families. The curious unions
which take pace must be the result of
W _ law such as we find in every biologic
phenomenon. Man has the same instinct
found in lower animals to select
a mate who is more or less different #
from himself.
Should like types mate, their com?
\ mon characteristics may be so exaggerated
as to be harmful and the line
perish. It is an instinct of those of
x great intelligence to marry those of
less than the average, for the offspring

very evident that if we try to improve
the race intellectually by the marriage
of like types we will violate the natural

Buttons for Ornaments.
Buttons in every conceivable shape
and style are used for ornaments this
season, small and large; glass, bone
and all kinds of metal; the simple, unadorned,
old-fashion mother-ofpearl
kind and the latest designs,
made with an amethyst centre surrounded
by a circle of rhinestones that
\ look more like brooches than buttons.
There are gun metal buttons, heavy
looking, and this effect is heightened
by the use of three screws inserted in
the outer edge. Those made in red
and bronze metals look like Oriental
pins and are most attractive. Buttons,
like the rest of trimming used
this year, are made to match the many
shades of cloth in use. Many kinds
are fashioned of two colors to match
striped and checked materials or to
harmonize with the cloth and the
braid or silk used for trimming. A
particularly pretty pattern in such design
was made of brown cloth suit
trimmed with white braid. With
white gowns having a red flower design
in the background round imitation
coral buttons about as large as a
25-cent piece finished with a rim of
rhinestones make enough decoration
for an afternoon dress.

A Fortune in Dressmaking.
Droning musically, a great red motor
car sped up to the station and a
woman in beautiful clothes got out.
She rode into town on the early morning
train among a number 01' business
men, and one of these said of her:
"The woman makes $20,000 a year.
She has ninety girls working for her
in her big establishment down town.
She won't make the simplest linAn
:'rock under $23, and the average price
she charges for a gown is $150.
"She is a college girl. Twelve years
ago she was a reporter on a morning
paper, covering the board of education,
women's clubs and so on, wearing
shabby clothes and earning, I suppose,
$15 a week. She was too clever, far
too clever, for such work, yet she stuck
to her paper for two years and never
an inch did she advance.
"She had always liked dressmaking.
She had always had good taste. Now,
in despair, she took a course in cutting
and fitting, and she interested in her
idea one of the rich women whom she
had met in her news-gatliermg among
the clubs.
"With this woman's help she opened
a small dressmaking shop in a good
neighborhood. Success seemed hard to
achieve at first, but she liked the work
and she got in time the patronage of
three or four of our best-dressed young
matrons. After " that she advanced
rapidly. Today she is a woman to be
envied by most men.
"She built in 1902 a house that cost
$40,000. She lives at the rate of $12,000
or $15,000 a year. And still she is
saving money.
"If intelligent college girls of good
taste, putting aside their pride, would
take up dressmaking instead of elbowing
into the overcrowded ranks of literature
cr journalism, they too might
live in $40,000 nouses and drive 00horse-power
motor cars and stil savr
money."?Zvlinnieapolis Journal.
Habit of Frowning.
Did you ever notice the kinds and
varieties of frowns you meet in a short
walk on the streets? Perhaps it is
the 20th century expression developing
from the general hurry of the day.
However, no matter how impatient
people may be to get ahead of jtime, it
never pays to hurry, inside or to walk
with one's eyebrows. The majority of
people nowadays hurry, hurry, hurry
along the streets, their brows tied up
in little tight knots of strenuous attention
of some sort. It is refreshing to
see any one move with quick energy;
an alive and active gait is always to
?r*- Vi tt rwf Ka aVi

ful about it. It doesn't help one up
the elevated steps a bit faster to
frown about it. It doesn't make saleswomen
hurry cr street cars stop or the
weather cooler or anything. It only
makes one look one's worst and grow
old before one's time.
Whenever I see the fretful young
women of luxury frowning over her
shopping I think how I should like to
tell hew she's really harming others.
Or I should like to show her the account
in the paper of the poor janitress
mother who worked for $5 a week and
kept herself and four babies on sugar
water and crackers until she fainted
one day and wa's taken to the hospital.
Not that I should want that to
make her frown more. Maybe she
would do something for the babies,
and then feel happy, and make others
happy, by smiling instead of frowning.
Frowning is a habit. I often wonder
how astonished some of the passersby
on the street would be were we to
suddenly stop them and say, '.'What is
the matter? What are you frowning
about?" I am sure half of them are
not really conscious of it. Then some
time they will discover deep wrinkles
in their brows that are there to stay,
and they'll long in vain to be rid of
them.
Mrs. Wriggs' advice never to feel
sorry for one's self is well worth while.
It never wins sympathy. To be cheerful,
and even if not to look cheerful, is
surely a duty we all owe to each other.
Fashion Notes.
Sheer gauze undershirts for small
tots have a trimming of narrow Valenciennes
lace around neck and armholes.
Blue and brown veils are worn witli
blue and brown bats; for light or
white hats, white veils with black dots
look best.
The newest fad in colored stockings
is to have the stockings match the
dress (unless tbe dress is white) while
the shots are black.
Almost every small child wears
socks, those of tan and white to
match the shoes, or white to wear with
black shoes, being the most popular.
There's a new chiffon automobile
veil out which eomes in all the pale
colors and in white. It is embroidered
?with big and little dots in the same
shade as the veil itself?and is gathered
on to a ring.
Every child, who can, is wearing allwhite;
and the inexpensive canvas
shoes?strong and braced to keep them
in shape?have made it possible to
carry out this white in the matter of
shoes as well, even if you're not blessed
with a robust purse.
To keep the present craze for tan
shoes something new in stockings
comes out every little while. The newest
are shadow stripes in tans and old
blues with bands of color running
around intwo shades, just a little different.
Both blue and tan are worn
I with tan shoes.

J Sweden?The Fisheries Are as Important
as Farming in Norway.
! Some interesting information eon|
cerning Sweden and Norway has just
! been compiled by the Bureau of Sta!
tistics, Washington. It is shown that,
; notwithstanding less favorable natuj
ral conditions, such as the poverty
of the soil, about 75 percent of which
is unproductive, and a rigorous clii
mate in the larger part of the coun!
try, also a relatively larger emigraj
tion, the population in Norway ini
creases faster than that of Sweden,
j T.ius, the population of Sweden in)
creased between 1S93 and 1303 from
! 4.824,150 to 5,231,291, or 8.2 percent,
' while that of Norway grew from 2,!
0S2,1C0 to 2,288,525, or 12.G percent
j in the same period.
The combined population of Sweden
j and Norway is 7,484,301, practically
the same as that of the State of New
, York. The area of Sweden, is about
| 40 percent more than that of Norway,
; the territorial extent of the two counI
tries being 172.876 square miles and
j 124.130 square miles, respectively.
[ If the average population for the
period 1893-1903?5,043,700 for Sweden
I and 2,165,600 for Norway?be compared
; with the corresponding average emigration
figures?23,610 for Sweden and
11,303 for Norway?the rate of emigre
: tion appears higher for Norway than
i for Sweden, 5.2 per thousand, as
against 4.7 per thousand. During the
i decade 1S93-1902, of the emigrants
; from Sw^len who left their country
over 80 percent stated as their destina:
tion the United States, while of 124,336
Norwegians who left their native
country about 97 percent, at the port
of embarkation, indicated this country
as their future home.
' Of the total estimated population of
: Sweden ih 19C3 only 22.3 percent ap
pear under the head of urban dwellers,
! while of the total population of Norj
way, according to the 1900 census, 28.8
' percent are returned as Irving in ur,
ban settlements.
; The difference in the industrial char,
acter of the population is shown, furthI
ermore, by the fact that in Sweden
j the mainstay of the population is still
I agriculture, with its cognate branches,
| while in Norway the importance cf
| agriculture is about the same as that
! of the fisheries, each of which indusj
tries, according to official estimates,
| furnishes an annual product of about
; $15,000,000, or about 10 percent of the
| annual national income. The average
i value of the principal cereal produej
tions in Sweden for the years 1S98-1902
i is stated at $65,338,000, while the av<
erage value of Norwegian cereal crops
! for 1896-1900 was estimated at $9,|
640,000 only. This, as well as the rela!
tive absence of minerals of industrial

that of the sister nation. The imports
j of breadstuffs, including flour, during
I the calendar year 1903 into Sweden
j amounted in value to $10,331,000, and
| to $15,229,000 into Norway.
The only common industry of impor
tance, especially for the foreign trade,
j is lumbering, inasmuch as both coun;
tries abound in forests, particularly
{ spruce and pine, both of which variei
ties find ready sales in British and
j Continental markets. Of the total
! domestic exports from the two couni
tries, the exports cf lumber and timber
and manufactures thereof, sach as
wood pulp and matches, constituted
51.7 percent in the case of Sweden and
40.4 percent in the case of Norway.
The mining and metal industry,
i which is an important source of na!
tional wealth in Sweden, giving emf
ployment to 30,731 persons in 1903, has
but little importance in the national
i economy of Norway,
j On the other hand, the earnings of
the Norwegian merchant marine, espe!
cially of vessels engaged in the carry!
ing trade between foreign ports, eon!
stitute a large portion of the national
: revenue, and serve to offset in part
| the unfavorable trade balance. Nori
way's merchant marine is fourth in
; size among the merchant marines of
j the world; being exceeded only by
j those of the United Kingdoip, the
! United States and Germany. Its total
| tonnage is nearly 1,500,000 tons, as
j against 625,000 tons for Sweden. Itsto;
tal earnings in 1902 were $29,700,000,
as against $13,400,000 earned by Swed;
ish merchantmen, while the amounts
earned by Norwegian vessels in carj
rying freight between foreign ports
j only was $22,375,000, as against $3,I
644,000 earned by Swedish vessels for
, similar services.
Sweden imports about $142,000,000
; worth of merchandise annually, about
$6,500,000 being from the United States
; and Norway imports about $78,500,000
worth of merchandise, a little less than
j $5,000,000 being supplied by the United
, States. The exports from Sweden in
! the latest available year were $118,j
250,000 in value, about $3,250,000 hav!
ing been taken by the United States,
' while from Norway the exports were
| $46,500,000 in value, of which less than
| $2,000,000 were importet by the Unit!
ed States.
; Our exports of domestic products to
' Sweden and Norway amounted to $11,i
325,383 in value during the fiscal year
! 1904, as against $10,071,565 during the
| preceding year. Less than 20 articles
I or groups of articles supply the bulk

j MUTINY WHILE BATTLE WAS ON.
i
Reason Why Two of Rojestvensky's
Fleet Wouldn't Fight.
According to the St. Petersburg
correspondent of La Liberte Admiral
Rojestvensky, in his report on the
battle of Tsu Shima Straits, which
resulted in the practical annihilation
of his feet, says that his ships were
bad. They had been not only hastily
but dishonestly buiit.
The thickness of their armor did
not agree with the official figures in
the case of any of the vessels. Moreover,
it was of inferior quality. The
shells were bad. None of the ships
attained the guaranteed speed. The
engines and boilers were poor and always
requiring repairs.
Two-thirds of the crews, including
those of Vice-Admiral Niebogatoff's
squadron, were incapable. The gunners
were ignorant of the elementary
laws of firing. A mutiny occurred
while that fleet was at Madagascar
and fourteen men were put to death.
Admiral Rojestvensky had to train
guns on two of his ships, the Admiral
Seniavin and Admiral Aprazlne, coast
defense vessels, to restore order. The
crews had decided secretly to surrender
to the enemy. This was discovered
too late. There was another
mutiny in Vice-Admiral Niebogatoff's
squadron near Formosa, and Admiral
Rojestvensky had difficulty in preventing
the mutineers from seizing the
greater part of the squadron.
AHrnir'al Dnioctvon cL-rr cn tt from tho
outset of the battle that the Admiral
Seniavin and Admiral Apraxine were
not fighting and were ignoring orders.
They fired only when he sent torpedo
boats to them and threatened to sink
them unless they obeyed.
If Admiral Rojestvensky had not
| been wounded at the beginning of
j the battle the result might have been
| different. Almost simultaneously with
i his removal to a torpedo boat Admiral
I Enquist disappeared, Admiral Foel|
kersahm was killed and Admiral Niei
bogatoff, who was unpopular with the
i sailors, was obliged to take command.
Then the rout began. Admiral
Niebogatoff's orders were ignored.
It was every one for himself. The
crews of some of the ships threatened
to kill their officers unless they surrendered.
Admiral Rojestvensky confirms
what is generally known of the shattering
and scattering of his fleet. He
describes the attempt to blow up the
Orel after she had surrendered. He
says that a party of engineers and
young officers were surprised by the
Japanese just as they were about to
fire the ship's magazine. A struggle
followed. If the Orel's crew had supported
their officers the conspiracy
would have succeeded, but none of
the men stirred.
The admiral confirms the reports already
published that he relied on the
fog to enable him to get through the
straits, but says it lifted two hours too
soon.
The Rase for Decoration.
The number of those decorated
with stars, ribbons, orders, medals,
etc., is remarkable in society nowadays.
If women still retain the position
of being the decorative sex, men
are certainly the decorated. Orders,
medals and so on are distinctly a decoration,
as a general rule, and noth*
ing more. The last thing in the world
that they mark is personal distinction.
It is a common masculine affectation
that titles are accepted
mainly to please wives, who have a
weakness for being "my ladies." The
ribbons, medals, etc., which are not
shared with the wives are just as
eagerly coveted and accepted.?London

How the Pigmies Shave.
The latest tonsorial fashion to be
imported into this country is the eyelash
shave. This may be seen at the
Hippodrome when the pigmies are
performing their toilet. After making
their usual protest against being
compelled to bathe In warm water, the
pigmies, instead of shaving the stub
ble of beard from tneir races as wmte
men do, cut off their eyelashes with i
the razor-like edges of their tiny ar- j
rows. It is a painful operation to j
watch, but it is said to become fascin- !
ating. If a visitor shows too much in- j
terest in the proceeding, one of the !
pigmies will courteously offer in pan- j
tomime to give him an eyelash shave. |

I ALLIGATOR AN ECONOMICAL PET. .
Even a Big One Can Live on Flies
and Such Trifles.
The 9 foot alligator at the Aquarium
is a little off its feed. As a matter of
fact, it has not eaten anything, so far
J as is known, for six months, and all it
has eaten since July, 1904, is eight her- j
ring weighing about a pound and a
half apiece and a live rat.
At frequent intervals in the course I
of the six months just past it has been
tempted with food such as it would
be likely to fancy, but it has uniformly
declined it. And yet this alligator is I
far from emaciated; indeed, it is fat |
about the jaws and neck, and appears j
to be in good condition.
"Why, that's nothing," said a visitor j
at the Aquarium the other day who in
response to some inquiries had learned
about its long abstinence from food.
"I've been toldVhat alligators will go
without eating for a year. Let me tell
you about an alligator that I knew of
once that went without eating for six
j months, or that ate so little it wasn't
j enough to count.
"For years I've spent my winters in J
Florida., on the east coast, and one
winter when I was down there like
that, when the swamps all 'round in
the region in which I stayed were all
very dry, this alligator that I speak of,
which was a big fellow, 14 or 15 feet
j long I should think, though we never
: cared to go near enough to it to measure
it, came out on the land and stayed
there, sort of dormant, all winter and
longer, six months altogether, and in
that time never moved fifty feet.
"How do I know it never went back
into the water? I don't knew that abj
solutely of my own knowledge, but I
am satisfied in my mind, from all the
I indications, after it first came out,
j more than fifty feet on the land, as I
! have told you. And I know that birds
! built their nests on this alligator's back
and hatched out their young there.
"And all this time that the big alligator
was lying there pretty much all
it had to eat was flics and snakes.
There is said to be something about
the odor or something of an alligator's
open mouth that attracts flies;
and this alligator lying there would
throw back its upper jaw like a great
trapdoor and keep it up like that for
quite a while, and about a million flies
would light inside its mouth, and then
suddenly the big 'gator would cast off
the catch that held its jaw up, somej!
where, and down it would drop and
catch a million flies. But what's a
million flies to a fifteen foot aligator?
"And sometimes it would catch a
snake. A snake would go sliding past
and that alligator would swing its
head 'round and grab it. But what's
an occasional snake to an alligator of
that size?
"And we thought?that is, a friend
of mine living there and myself?that
we'd give the alligator something to
eat. And we did give it one chicken.
"But not by hand. We gave it to
him from a safe distance, and yet in a
manner that was simple and easy. We
tied it in the middle of a cord about
thirty feet long, of which my friend
held one end and I the other, and holding
the chicken in that way we brought
it down close to the alligator's jaws
and the alligator snapped it and
seemed to enjoy it.
"But what are a few million flies
and a few snakes and one chicken to
a fifteen foot alligator in six months?
Practically nothing. And yet that alii- j
! gator looked at the end or tnat time
j just as well as this alligator does here;
| and I've no doubt it would have gone
! back into the water again in due time
! and started active life and hearty eating
again, and just as well as ever,
though it hadn't eaten anything for
six mohths.
' But I wanted a good alligator bag
and I knew i could get a good one out
of the hide of this 'gator. So I shot
the big alligator finally and had its
skin taken off and pickled and sent
! North, and had it tanned and had this
j bag made out of it."
And the visitor held the bag up to
j view as he spoke.?New York Sun. J
Aliens in London's West End.
There were aliens in the West End
