There aro necessar- ily some matters which should be given the preference and they doubtiess Will be but “there are matters which headed the list of “things to do” at this session, put forh just previous to reconvening, which have not as yet received attention. And|aD as the fourth of March approaches the chances that they will grow smaller. Among this number is the budget bill. Possibly no serious harm would follow if it were allowed to Eo over into the spe- clal session to be called in April, in view of the years that have failed to produce any favorable results. In fact it might be put aside without harm to insure sane enactment of things which must be done at this session, if there wers not danger of guch progress as has been made being upset.

Naturally there is a demand and a need that all necessary steps should be taken to see that this busipess is permitted to continue. We have overcome our depend- ence on Germany and we should be eager to continue our independence in this di- rection, Even though thie country can produce a superior product to Germany, as this chemist believes, and in fact lead the world in the manufacture of dyes, it is not probable that we can do so and meet the low cost of production which prevails in Germany, It is within a shert time that we have been .informed that England was over- loaded with the dyestuffs that had been sent there from Germany meaning that German goods were being made to flood that country in spite of its own efforts in that direction during the war.

It sometimes happens that the little city child with no place to play but in the city streets, of mayhap in a crowd- ed vacant lot reclaimed by the play- ground association, has a keener fond- ness for the hours he spends in out- duor ‘play than has the child whe lives & house surrounded by grass and \re and shrubs and everything that ought to make a pleasant setting for his outdoor play hours. For the untrained child is not a lover of abstract nature. At 8 or 10 or 4 or 12 no child is going to content himself in eentemplating the wonders of flower or shrub, bees or butterflies. What he craves first and foremost is a chanee to bring j; mal play his own | muscles and his own"instinct of play. ‘What makes the city playground at- tractive are the devices he- finds there te stimulate play, and the children .t6 play with. If you want your children to find contentment in their own back yard supply it with the jgherewithal for play. If you cannot.afford devices, at least perinit them to make their own devices and help them to make them for themselves. A sand pile, a slide, parallel bars or perhaps two'uprignt poles where they can practive vaulting —these things are yastly more ap- pealing to the mind of the chijld than the most artistic garden in the world. SUITCASE HOLIDAY. For a shert vacation next summer, take a suit, either of wool or of some silk such as faille, with plenty of blouses, both simple and fancy. Some simple morning dresses of dimity or voile will be serviceable, or white wash skirts and waists if you prefer thems A becoming afternoon dress or two will be necessary; crepe de chine, fou- lard or printed voile are good miter- ials.

DICTATES OF FASHION. An unusual veil of black fishnet was dotted in turqueise chenille. Many Russian effects are seen at smart weddings. For tailored and street frocks, long tight sleeves and snug¥shoulders are proper. 8uits and coats of elaborate fabrics are featured in place of fur trimmed models. There are new elastie parneaux which are without straps and “which flatten the bust. The use of blue ribbons to carry the lace bridal train was a preminent feature of a recent London wedding. Ropes of pearls are wound around the wrist in lieu of bricelets. Cireular skirts are appearing in ballreoms, as well as smart tea rooms and restaurants. Gray hats are just as prominent as ever. Some of them are of crepe de chine, covered with ostrich feathers of the same shade. Any number of slynx, krimmer and taupe caracul Rusgian turbans are worn, with and without fur-trimmed suits and coats. High front colonials are shown in a varlety of egects, one with a ‘fan FROM LUCLLE'S DIARY heard.

THE LACE VOGUE. Large mesh filet nets, embroidered in interesting and varied designs, are used in many gowns for both after- noon and e\enlng wear, and -they are equally popular in cotton or silk. Chantilly and point d’Alencon are two other laces much favored and fea- tured on the handsomer costumes, Lace usually proves an excelleat in- vestment. If of good quality it may be used many times and on many cos- tumes. The home dressmaker can do wonders with a combjnation lace and taffeta or satin frock. Incidentally, Irish crochet is very much to the fore in spring and sum- mer neckwear, blouses and undergar. ments, rivaling filet te a large ex: tent. —_— ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN ‘HISTORY e FIRST NAVAL ENTERPRISE OF EXPLORATION The first maritime exporing expedi- tion ever yndertaken by the United States Government set sail on August 18, 1838, with the intrepid Capt. Charles Wilkes in command. The prime object | of the expedition was to promote the great interest of commerce and navi- gation, as well as “to extend DRYING BOOTS. ° Experience has taught most people to dry wet and muddied boots slowly lest they shrink and harden. Some people stuff damp shoes with tissue paper to preserve the shape and help absorb the moisture, other fill them with warm oats or bran. Afterward they need a dressing which contains oil.” A standard mixture for the pur- pose is made by combining a quarter of an ounce of spermaceti oil, three ounces of treacle, four ounces of pow- dered lampblack, adding at the last a cup of vinegar, acquisition of knowledge.” This expedition of exploration oc- cupied four_years, the distance cover- ed was nin®ty thousand miles, nearly coat of a great Antarctic continent never before seen by civilized man. The enterprise received its official programme from the Hon James K. Paulding, Secretary of the Navy, under President Van Buren. The leading members of the scientific corps accompanying the expedition were Mr. Hale, philologist; Mr. Pickering and Mr. Peale, naturalists; Mr. Couthuoy, concholog: Mr. Dana, mineralogist; Mr. Rich, botanist; Mr., Drayton and Mr. Agne draughtsmen, and Mr. BracKkenridge, horticulturist. The vessels composing the squadron were the sloop of war Vincenes, the flagship, the sToop of war Peacock, the brig. Porpoise, the storeship Relief, and two tenders. The expedition started from Norfolk, and the first course was CUT MARSHMALLOWS, A reader recently found a way to cut marshmallows into tiny gpieces without having them stick to the scis- sors, She dips her scissors into very cold water—perferably ice cold—and uses them without drying; it is pes- sible to cut six or eight marshmallows without again dipping the scissors. The work may be done rapidly, as the marshmallows do not stick to the scis- sors. CONCERNING *“WOMEN. More than a quarter of a million of girl guides have been organized throughout the world during the past five years. Six _thousand “hello girls” are em- ployed in the telephone exchanges of Tokio. The Japanese call them “moshi moshi” girls. Twenty-one British universities and 13 of the leading technical schools now give facilities for training women as engineers.

MORGAN & SON 'PHONE 884 RIFT FLOORING e | towards Madeira. The next pbrt reached was Rio Janeiro, from wiich the whole squadron sailed to Tera del Fuego. On_its cruise to the south the squadron experienced the usual recep- tion at Gape Horn—rough and stormy weather. Arriving at Valparaiso the explorers established an observatory. The Cordilleras were explored by a special Scientific corps. From Callao the squadron passed through the Paumotu group at Tahiti, visiting islands not before known. Ar- riving at Tahiti the explorers lost no time in commencing operations. An observatory, furnished with both as- tronomical and magnetic. instruments, was at once established and parties sent out for the survey of the princi- pal harbors and the munenm' chan- nels. A’ thorough examination was next made of the Samoan Islands, with Tutuila as the base. Following their work here they proceeded to New South Wales, and leaving Sidney the last of December, 1839, the vessels pro- ceeded separately to the southward, when all reached the icy barrier, and three of them were rewarded with the sight of the hitherto unknown Antarc- tic continent—a discovery which was subsequently confirmed by both Frencn and English authorities. This was the most interesting and most | valuable of the giscoveries. Proceeding to New Zealand the ex- pedition went from thence to the Fiji Islands, exploring the same very thoroughly. This group they found consisted of one hundred and fifty- four islands, ail covered with luxurious foliage to their very summits, giving them a pleasing and picturesque as- pect. It was to the cruelty of the natives of this group that Lieut. Underwoed and Midshipman Henry, two of the most promising of the officers of the expedition, feil mortal victims while on shore to obtain provisions. For these murders prgmpt vengeance was in- flicted by Capt. Wilkes. The expedition next visited the Hawaiian Islands, and in the rae of the scientic operations mem! of the party ascended to the summit of Mauna-loa and there performed the difficult and important feat of meas- uring the penduium. The othér places yisited by the ex- pedition were the wmorthwest coast of America, and the Columbia and Sacra- mento rivers. They then explored por- tiong of California, and leaving San Francisco in the month of November, 1841, they went on a cruise to Manila, Sooloo, tiorneo, Singapore and the Cape of Good llope, returning home by the way of St. Helena, in June, 1842, The number of sketches of the different places visited made by the tists on board was about five hun- d, together with some two hundred portraits. Thousands of specimens of birds, animals, fishes, reptiles, insects, shells, minera ete,, were also col- lected and h"ml;:l‘! home. The results of this expedition were, in a word, such as reflected the highest honer upon the National Government, under whose auspices it was organized, and the gallant officers and men to whom it was entrusted.
