The Hix-gored circular cut is introduced and is exceedingly artistic, but mbst difficult for any but the high-priced experts to make. Thirteen gores put Into a broad box plait back and front, with side plaits between, meeting at the hips with an inverted box plait, is very popular and stylish. For every­ day washtub gowns the new five- gored pattern is the best to follow. It is slightly gathered at sides and back . and is trimmed with the old-fashioned deep Spanish flounce, quite straight, but not too full. This has tucks and • hem at the foot line. It Is mounted with a gathered heading or with a two-inch band of embroidery or heavy lace. Stitched bands of the material are not among the new fashions for akirt trimmings. Ribbon Flower*. The newest table decorations are made of ribbon, which many clever hostesses fashion for themselves. Debutante luncheons afford excellent opportunities for the display of ribbon flowers, the centerpiece and rose fa­ vors being manipulated out of soft louisine curled in such a manner that it exactly duplicates a la France rose. Artificial leaves are used and the rose Stem4 are wound with green velvet ribbon. Bunches of violets are easily conjured into shape with narrow vio­ let ribbon and when combined with natural leaves the effect is exceeding­ ly good. In making these blossoms jcare must be taken that only soft rib­ bon be used, as stiff satin would be anything but pretty for sueh a pur­ pose. Smart Shirt Waist Costume. The shirt waist costume hM to aome extent superseded the tailor suit Cor general wear. The accompanying Illustration shows a natty box-plaited | waist, combined with a side-plaited Jakirt in round length. Serge, cheviot, tor shepherd plaid among the wool ma­ terials are exceedingly good for a ;frock destined to be worn in cold weather, and any of the Inexpensive mercerized cottons, which so strongly 'resemble silk, are suggested for the summer months. Veal Cutlets with Tomatoes. Wash two cutlets and season them -with pepper and salt. Have Teady some hot lard and butter in a pan; •put the meat into it, and fry it on .both sides until a nice brown; when jdone place on a hot platter. Stew a quarter of a peck of toma­ toes, or if these are not in season, a can will do as well. If fresh they must be drained and mashed. Season -with pepper and salt, pour the toma­ toes in a pan with the gravy, after the cutlets have been dished, and stir them well together. Pour them over the cutlets and send to table hot. Dressy Effects. In thin narrow fabrics the circular top is preferred to a skirt and the rest is all rqffies. One circular ruf­ fle may be used as a foundation, begin below hips, and the trimming put on this. Princess gowns are appearing in the thinnest of fine muslins, and handkerchief linen and linen batiste. They are tucked to fit into the waist line and are elaborately trimmed with fine lace and slight designs of hand embroidery. Many women whose figures can stand this severity are making up such gowns decollete with sleeves end­ ing well above elbow for summer evening wear. They are put over Slips of colored batiste at fifty cents a yard. These slips are also princess, fit­ ted into the waist a beading of narrow ribbon which is tied In a flat bow in the back and they are ruffled at the loot line. . The passion for hand embroidery has grown stronger each week. Who­ ever can do it, is putting it en every possible garment. For Large Women. • style of bodice becoming to large women is that made with jacket fronts, not the loose, hanging bolero fronts, but a trim, tight fitting affair, single or double breasted, or fastened at the left side. The jacket comes be*> low the waist line in front, and it has a small, shaped basque back; an in­ ner vest with overlapping revers shows between, or above and below the overlapping jacket fronts. One point that every woman at all inclln* ed to stoutness should remember vis to keep the line of her waist ... k»g by cutting all her clothes . With straight seam and dart llaes. and placing the waist line half an inch below where she actually feels the line to exist. A garment cut an inch too long waisted looks in­ finitely better than one a quarter of an inch too short waisted; especially is this to be noticed In the plain tailor coat made with single fly fronts. When the coat hangs open it rides up in the back when not long enough in the waist, and it gives a most awk­ ward' appearance to a woman. _joadoir IfcCbnfidences Hats are queer. Everything is flowered. Frocks are overtrimmed. Green is exceptionally good, Tulips blosson on spme hats. Tou can't have too many organdies. Both narrow and wide belts are worn. The black patent leather sailor Is nobby. » You cannot have too much lace about you. ' ° . Some parasols look as if the sup would melt them. Net insertions make a silk -blouse look wonderfully smart. Very taking is the new, envelope handbag in scarlet or greeir. Buy a stamped hat pattern and em­ broider your own hat. linen in gray or tan shades, with bor ders in some gay, contrasting tone. When a broom becomes shorter on one side and the ends of; the straws become as sharp as needles dip it into hot water, trim It evenly with' the shears and you will have a broom nearly as good as new. Filmy Laces. An effort that, assuredly means business this season runs in favor of filmy laces, headed by the ephemeral blonde. The fresh varieties are ex­ ceptionally numerous and at present appear to be collectively gathered to­ gether under the safe and vaguely embracing term of French. Towards the fashioning of Jabots together with the prevailing ruffled and wrin­ kled effects, there is no question as to the superior services of this finer den- telle, and under its auspices one is the more inclined to overlook certain extravagances of pattern. Nor will the furore for the firmer and more costly varieties of embroidered lawns, as a decorative accessory, be any less pronounced thai} last season. M+e*M ILLINOIS STATE NEWS dUCe&tra Twaw or J&fg* Scheme in Hat Trimming. Marvelous shaded effects are se­ cured by employing different tints of the same flowers in hats. A toque particularly becoming to a fair-haired girl who dresses her hair In rather fluffy fashion is built entirely from hy­ acinths. The foundation is pale lav­ ender maline. Brim and crown are overlaid with hyacinths shading from" palest to deepest lavender. On the brinf the white starts next to the hair, and the edge is the deep shade. Oa the crown the white is in the center and the flowers deepen as the size of the circles increase. On either side of the hat, close to the hair and extend­ ing well up above the brim, are flat rosettes of soft ribbon in the three tints shown in the flowers, and in the hearts of each rosette are two delicate blush roses with pastel green foliage. New Ruffle Trick. A new ruffle trick seems to liaye accomplished the apparently impos­ sible task of getting still more/full­ ness into the skirt about the feet. The ruffle ls;6f embroidery, shaped jftnd' gathered into half circles, whicbf join at the tips. Under this ruffle is an­ other, w|th all the material pleated into it that could possibly be disposed of. The pleating only shows in be­ tween the sections of the ruffle in the airiest way imaginable. ' , Blouse of Silk or Voile. What Gray Haired Women Gan Wear. Whilet there are many types of gray haired women, they all fall into two general classes; those who are prematurely gray young women, and those whose white hair Is quite legiti­ mate and indicates an honorable old age. For the latter, nothing is more be­ coming than black, with ornamenta­ tions in either black or white laces. Real white hair is usually accompan­ ied, by black or dark brown, or dark gray eyes, as the blue-eyed women grow gray slowly. So the colors sug­ gested are for dark, rather than light eyes. Dark greens in both olive and blue varieties, dark silk blues and purples, as \frell as quite dark reds are effec­ tive. There is a brown approaching fawn color that may be worn, but as a rule browns are not becoming to those with gray hair. Creamy white can .sometimes be worn, as can white muslins and lawns in the summer time. A molding board makes a very sat- isfactory extra shelf for kitchen or sewing room if fastened to the wait with hinges and chains to prevent its sagging when lowered. To the ordinary combination of warm water and ammonia used for freshening carpets, add a tablespoon- ful of kerosene and the result will be still more satisfactory than usual.

Marquette, Kan., suffered the worst from the storm. In the town and im­ mediate vicinity twenty-nine were killed and more than 100 more or less injured. The tortaado threw the town into a panic, wrecked scores of buildings and did much damage in the country near by. Many of the victims were killed as they lay asleep; others THE PACE THAT KILLS. Physician'^ Arraignment of Our Mod­ ern Society. Physicians in New York have been startled by the alarming Increase in the number of sudden deaths diie chiefly to heart disease. Dr. Glrdner, author of "New Yorkitis," makes a short-cut to the real cause of this mortality when he says: "New York­ ers are driying themselves like beasts of burden. They are working like dynamos all day, and playing like,) idiots at night." To use an *>ld phrase, they are going "the pace that kills." - We**cfsnnot lead the strenuous life without paying for it. We may work too hard, eat too fast, play Irration­ ally, sleep too little if we wish; bat nature demands its equivalent. Nerv­ ous strain means a weakened heart and other organic troubles--often a' sudden death. >And all for what? Merely' to expel someone else in money gettipg or in climbing the so­ cial ladder. ' If a man must'work like a dynamo all day he ought not to be an Idiot at night. And if he plays the idiot so­ cially he should not be a business dynamo. He may stand one or the other and die from old age; but if he tries them both It won't be long be­ fore something will break. The dy­ namo may burn out or the idiocy be­ come permanent. » The fact that we are living too fast --for New York has no monopoly on the strenuous life--is not deduced from sudden deaths alone. Nervous strain means accidents, suicide, some­ times even murder. Is/the game worth the candle? Is f iy fortune or social position that an ban attain compensation for a tmbination of dynamo and Idiot? ^What shall it profit a man if he gain <*the whole world and lose his own soul?"--Chicago Post.

Of all great nations the United States of America have In their peace time standing army the smallest num­ ber of soldiers in proportion to extent of population, namely, one soldier to every 1,000 citizens. The opposite ex treme, curiously enough. Is reached by another -republic--France-^-which has one soldier for every seventy-two of its population. Italy has one soldier to every 100 subjects; Germany, one to lOf; Austro-Hungary, one to 125, and Great Bjrltalg, one soldier to every 225 subjects. Belgiifm, having a pop­ ulation of not more than 7,000,000, has one soldier to every 130 inhabi­ tants. Russia has one soldier to every 140 of its subjects; Japan, one to 350. ' ' Nurses Worn-Out Horses. The princess of Wied, who is a prominent figure in the court circle at Berlin and whose husband is In the line of succession to the throne of Hol­ land, has developed a curious but hu­ mane hobby, in ^Weh^nly one of her great wealth could indulge. She buys all the ill-used horses that come to her notice and gives them the benefit of a stay in her well-appointed sta­ bles. A period of rest and kind treat- ment usually restores the unfortunate animals to good condition and puts them in working order again. Hun­ dreds of broken-down horses have en­ joyed the princess' hospitality and have left the equine sanitarium "as good as new." tM SWEEPS OVER ILLINOIS Much Damage Done in State by Two . Small Cyclones. Two cyclones swept over central Illinois May 11, one at noon and the second at night. In both an enornious rtnount of water fell and the damage, especially to the railways, will aggre­ gate a large sum. In Bloomington and vicinity hundreds of fine shade trees were broken off, while fences and small buildings by the score were blown over. ; At San Jose the storm was especial­ ly severe. The big elevator of J. A. Fryer was removed from its founda­ tion and badly damaged. The tracks of the Toledo, Peoria & Western were washed away for a distance of a half mile and the tracks of the Lake Erie & Western between Peoria and Farm- dale were used for the trains of the former, road and also the Chicago & Alton and Vandalia lines. Central Illinois is ip the midst of cornplant- ing and the oats crop is well advanced. The hail and tremendous rainfall is certain to work great damage. Springfield was visited by two elec­ trical and rain storms and great dam­ age was done to trees and buildings under course of construction. Shortly after noon the state house dome was struck "by. lightning. .For an hour all electric lights were out. A bolt also struck the Springfield high school and Prof. Padgett was ghocked. The street oar service was tied uj^for an hour. \ Lightning struck the depot and pow­ er plant of the Rockport & Freeport Electric Railway company at Peca- tonica, and damage estimated at $8,500 was done. A tornado struck Streator, tearing down trees and barnS and badly dam­ aging the factory of the Streator Win- day Glass company. The storm was accompanied by a severe rainfall. A large chimney on the fcalph Plumb school house crashed through the roof. The school was filled with pupils',4 but all escaped Injury. OPPOSE THE SHOT-FIRERS' LAW Operators Threaten to Lockout ers if Governor Approves Act. • f On the desk of Gov. Deneen lies' a bill that is liable to turn the state of| Illinois topsy turvy--in so far a3 a finish fight between the mine owners1 and the miners of the state can do so.- It is the "shot-firers'" bill, and tho. Illinois Coal Operators' association is determined it shall not become a lair if the force of argument can prevent it, . A committee has been appointed which will endeavor to break in upon the governor's time--at present ex­ tremely precious--in an effort to in­ duce him to veto the measure. Failing in this the. operators will ask the miners to agree that the oper­ ation of the law be suspended for one ; year, or else enter into a new agree­ ment all around. The alternative is said to be a lock-out at every mlne in Illinois. ' ° ; At present the miners blast, take out, and load the coal. The bill pro­ vided for "shooting" to be done by men, specifically employed- for this service, thus minimizing the danger life and limb among the miners, the "Jihooter" to be aione in the shaft while doing his specialty. The objection of the mine owners is that heavy loss to them will follow under such a system, not only on ac­ count of ^additional expense, but be­ cause the miners will set too powerful Ji^sts in>;their anxiety to loosen large untitles or coal at once. his. they assert, will result In great property loss, and will shatter the product unnecessarily, thus injur- -ing its market value. At present, the' sense of t self-preservation prevents the setting o| Inordinate, blasts. MUST NOT SQUANDER 8ALARV* DECREASE IN OUTPUT OF COAL One Very Valuable Citizen. In a recent address Dr. Emil Hirsch paid a tribute to "the man who makes us laugh." No one more deserves the gratitude of humanity than such a man. The great destroyer of the human rafce is worry. The great en­ emy of worry is laughter. You can­ not worry, and laugh at the same time. The "man who makes us laugh" doe£ his part in relieving life of its pains and lengthening its span. He delays old age by prolonging youth. He makes the poor forget for the tim^ that they are in need and while they laugh th>r "are as well off as the rich. --Louisville Courier-Journal.
