Decoration for Fur Hats 5 PRESIDENT TWENTY-EIGHT Decoration f the home milliner has been able to find a turban covered with fur of almost any description and almost any shape. The matter of trimming it at home is a wob TE home milliner has been able to find a turban covered with fur of almost any description and almost any shape. The matter of trimming it at home is a problem of easy solution. Fur turbans are not exactly trimmed—they are decorated. The soft shapes, made without wire, carry bows, rosettes or motifs, applied flat to the body of the hat; or tinsel and silk roses, a smart cockade or an algrette fastened on with an ornament, all easy to procure and the trimming easy of accomplishment. Fashion permits the trimming to be placed anywhere, from back to front, at the sweet will and sense of style possessed by the wearer. Where the turban is made by covering a buckram shape with fur, plumes This most attractive waist is of checked old blue and white foulard, with pretty yoke of old blue cashmere. The gulmpe, undersleeves, and frills are of white tulle. The girdle is of plain blue liberty. THE NEW SHOE BUCKLES Cut Steel and Rhinestone Predominate for Decorating Evening Slipper This Season. Cut steel and rhinestone predominate in the shoe buckle for decorating the evening slipper this season. In the cut steel, which has a very refined appearance, the designs are very beautiful. The buckles made of this material seem to be the leading ones. They are made oblong and large, and though this is actually the choice among the metals, there are other sizes and other metals still available, for though it is quite new, it does not exclude any of the others that with some are still popular. Rhinestone buckles are favored next to steel and there is a wide variety of these from which to make a choice. Small and large ornaments, square and round ornaments, oblong and star-shaped ornaments—in fact, in the rhinestone one can get an ornament in almost any shape a person desires. Butterfly Note Paper The butterfly, a dominant novelty of this season's fashions, trails its frivolous wings across the latest note paper. Flights of sulphur-colored insects upon a delicate green ground, and of bright, soft blue ones over a cream white surface, none of them too perceptible are seen. It is a fanciful idea, to have these decorated missives as frivolous and brief as their own short lives. THE GAZETTE and fancy feathers, wings and ribbons are all available. The soft caps are more simply trimmed. Soft caps of fur or fur fabrics are easily made at home. The crown is in four aections, like a boy's jocky cap, and the brim a slightly curved collar, which is wide enough to turn up about the crown. This is lined with silk or satin. A fine wire may be introduced in the outdoor brim edge to advantage. It should be put in between the fabric and the lining, and will serve to keep the hat shapely. Such hats of plush or fur are very comfortable—a real protection to the head, and the becomingness is a new discovery. It is all in adjusting the right shape to the head in the right way. CONCERNING USE OF PLUMES Newest Trimming in Millinery Shows Styles Such as Our Mothers Never Dreamed Of. The newest trimming in millinery emphasizes the use of plumes. Such plumes! The word conjures up an infinite variety of styles of which our mothers or grandmothers know nothing, and fair women of today can be doubly grateful for the efforts of millers. Garlands of plumes are used on broad, low hats. They are spotted and flocked with color, and some are made of layers of different shades, giving a wonderfully iridescent effect. On velvet turbans the use of a single plume attached at the front, and extending toward the back in a slanting line, is quite evident. This line for the plume is used on large hats as well. And speaking of the wide, flat shapes leads us to the introduction of ostrich feathers to edge the brim. Two successful Paris millers have done this with great effect. Feather rosettes are made of ostrich plumes. Concentric circles of cut feathers are placed around a jeweled center. At the side of a turban or on the upturned brim of a large velvet hat this new type of ornament is extremely chic. A feather band is being used on many large hats. Black and white plumes are favored for these ornaments. They are detachable, hooking at one side. This idea is attractive, for a change of trimming—means a change of hat. To Freshen a Lace Waist. A tight-cut lingerie waist of white lace and embroidery gains wonderfully in elaborateness by the addition of the latest French fancy. This is a broad band of net in a pastel shade, embroidered in souffleur braid of the same color and applied just over the bust. With this it is worn one of the new neck scarfs of chiffon, in a color that exactly matches and with the ends embroidered in the souffleur. Both of these are easily made up at home by any clever, needlewoman, and will go a long way toward hiding the deficiencies of a pretty but aging lingerie waist. The chiffon scarf is especially charming when embroidered its entire length with large coin dots in satin stitch. Cretonne Lampshades The very newest and prettiest thing in home decoration is the lampshade of shirred cretonne or flowered silk. For these, heavy wire frames are purchased, the round shape being the best. The cretonne or silk is then shirred tightly under this frame, and clamped or glued to it. A narrow border of furniture glimp cooccasal the joining place. In tapestry, this variety of lampshade becomes really gorgeous. The idea, of course, can be applied in all of these materials to candleshades as well. EPITOME OF A WEEK'S NEWS Most Important Happenings Told in Brief.

HATESASTEAMSHIP Keeps His Timepiece Fast Mariner Who Is 102 Despises Steam-Going Vessel. Captain Jackson Tells of Sailing Ship Days and of Fierce Storms That Swept Decks of Craft He Commanded. London. Nearing the close of his one hundredth and second year, Capt. James Jackson gazed mountainly across the rain-swept gardens of the Tooting home for the aged as he compared the gate then raging, with the hundreds he experienced in the days when men went to sea in ships of wood. Strangely enough it was the present storm that had brought him his sorrow. "It's only a little caput of wind," he said, "just enough to make a good craft swing along like a war horse. But it's brought me more trouble than any gate that has blown since I made my first voyage to Archangel, more than ninety three years ago. It's only a little caput, yet it stayed me from performing the last service my dear sister Maria will ask of me. "She had sent me a message from the Wandsworth infirmary, saying that she wanted to see me very, very soon, because she had something to tell me. So I hattoued up my coat on Wednesday afternoon and started to walk over there, but the little caput was too much for me and the rain swept into my eyes. 'Never mind,' I said, 'I shall see her tomorrow.' Next morning they told me Maria was dead!" Tears rolled from the first old eyes as Captain Jackson's thin, twisted fingers beat upon the window pane, and it was many minutes before another word escaped him. He told of gales in many seas, fierce storms that had swept the decks of the ship which he had skipped when a boy of nineteen. "Well I remember my first day of British Monarch Deliberately Has Watch Set Ahead—Father Addicted to Same Habit. London—Modern human beings have an extraordinary predilection for "fast" time. Even the late king gave way to this little weakness, and every timepiece, including the church clock, at Sandringham, was kept deliberately half an hour fast. This custom, in fact, still is kept up by King George. This "fast" time habit is in the opinion of a well known medical man, a form of self deception and "a praiseworthy, but often unconscious, attempt to rectify a very common fault—unpunctuality." "The number of clocks and watches in England that are kept fast is extraordinary," he said. "A slow watch or clock is uncommon, and usually the result of an accident. But everywhere fast time is to be seen—outside railway stations, in railway refreshment rooms, in public houses, and in private residences. "In my opinion the psychology of this habit is as follows," continued the doctor. "A man distrusts his ability to be punctual, and to rectify this advances his watch, or allows it to remain fast, deluding himself that after a short time he will have forgotten that his watch is fast, and so will unwittingly be punctual. "Again, a man acquires a sort of sub-conscious feeling that he could never hope to be punitive unless his watch goes up to time when he is calculating by a fast watch, but merely if he has to calculate by a correct watch." Ninny cross personal permitted having watches that were fast. Sahi one man: "I always keep my watch fast anything from time to twenty minutes as I am terrified!" It may not be how should I put it that the right time. Any chance. My watch now is 11:59. I few minutes, and I put it. Census Quiz Jars Germans command," he said, and for the first time the door of his lift fitted. "I was ripped in a new suit case of the owners had owned me, with the pockets lined with $20 and a $75 watch in my job. We sailed in ballet from Lyon to Sunderland, and when Mr. Taylorson, another of the owners, came aboard he asked me to direct him to the captain. That was the best day of all, I think, for when I made him really believe that I was the captain he checked for hours. "Then he cracked me a hearty blow on the back and told me I must ship a ship for him round the Horn in California. Three eight times I called Mr. Taylorson's ships to California, but one day, when I was walking with him up the main street in Sunderland, he fell dead. "My connection with the service ended soon afterward, but by that time I'd saved close on $5,000, and with that I became an owner myself. It was a sad day I bought my ship, for at my wife's desire I let her brother captain the vessel instead of looking after her myself. She was lost on the first voyage, and I hadn't a point of insurance. "I was a ruined man and getting on Subjects of Kaiser Perplexed by Some Searching Questions—Total May Be 65,000,000. Derlin Germany is in the throes of a census which will not end for many weeks. When it is over the fatherland experts' to wake up and find itself the possessor of 55,000,000 souls, or a gain of 4,500,000 since 1905. The German population experts are deeply impressed by this week's announcement that the United States has over 90,000,000 inhabitants. The American rate of increase during the timepiece Fast gaining for about a month or so. Then I put it back to the right time. Why don't I always try to keep it right? Because it is too much bother, and because I have grown accustomed to having it fast and feel strange, when it is right. A well known business man said that he always kept his watch exactly two minutes fast, first, because it had a tendency to lose, and second, because it made for greater punctuality and avoided the risk of missing trains by half a minute or so. Most business men of his acquaintance did similarly, he added. The secretary of the Magna Carta Time company, limited, which has control of 60,000 clocks in the United Kingdom, said that in his experience almost every one preferred to keep their clocks fast and requested that they should be set for this purpose. PROPOSAL OVER PHONE WIRE "Hello" Girl Receives an Offer of Marriage Intended for Some Other Woman.

I came to Clapham in 1853 and set to work as a blindmaker. All went well for some twenty years, but by the time I had come to be seventy-five, I commenced doing old jobs. So I worked on till my ninety-ninth birthday, when I came to live in this home, where every one is kind to me. By now the captain's pipe was filled, and, puffing vigorously at his beloved shag, he offered his opinions on the sailors of today. "Nice sailors they are to call these little saisons gales," he said. "It's the steamboats that have done it all, in my days a sailor was happiest when the seas swept the deck and his ship torsed before the wind. I never could abide a steamer. I only once went to sea in one, and that was when I came home from Australia as a passenger." A few weeks ago the delightful old captain met with an accident which would have proved fatal to most men many years his junior. Slipping, he fell backward against a piece of furniture and fractured two of his ribs. "It hurt a bit at the time," he remarked, in the most casual fashion, "but I'm quite as strong as again. My chief failing is my sight. Till a few months ago the hours with a plow and a paper were my happiest. Nowadays I must have the pipe only and Jars Germans last ten years is double the rate at which Germany is growing. The census of Germany is not taken by official question askers, as in the United States, but by means of a series of intricate blanks which every householder in the country is obliged to fill out. Millions of otherwise intelligent Germans spent last week wrestling with the mysteries of the census forms. These are some of the searching questions which the kaiser's perplexed subjects had to answer: "If you don't know the exact date of your birth, how many full years old are you?" "What's your main occupation in life?" "Were your babies nursed on their mother's breast or by wet nurses, or from a bottle?" "Are you subject to epileptic fits?" "How many of your house windows look out on the street?" "What was your mother tongue—German, Dutch, Friesen, Danish, Walloon, Polish or Lithuanian—and what are the names of the various rooms in your dwelling?" "What is the religion of your servants?" "How many bathrooms have you?" "Do you cook with gas or other fuel?" What rent do you pay? German economists cherish ambitions hopes for the future of Germany's population. One authority says there will be 150,000,000 by 1880. Another expert, Prof. von Schmolter of the University of Berlin, peers into the distant future as far as 2135 when he sees a vision of 208,000 "Such increase," he writes, "will and must come if we will main a great and powerful; we must have fruitful colon to take care of the surplus."

The President's White, Lamar, Lurton and Dickinson appointments overshadow all others with the loyal of our people. The Houston (Tex.) Freeman and the Pensaloca (Fla.) Sentinel are to be complimented, and congratulated on their splendid Christmas editions. Good resolutions for 1911 are alright, but keeping them is better. Think well before making any. That is the best way. The "galled jade" has not robbed any K. P. or other lodge, person, or thing. Therefore he cannot "wince." Our contemporaries will please note this fact. It does begin to look a little, as if a "scapgeost" is being made of that Haitian Negro, Montella Watha, in that prosecution of alleged lynchers, at Newark. We hope not, but shall wait, more or less impatiently, and see. A Washington, D. C., "Booker Washington" correspondent, refers to Charlie Cottrill of Toledo as "the well-known and exceptionally popular Ohio leader." This is certainly amusing "news" to the rank and file of Ohio Afro-Americans. --- SLOW BUT SURE AWAKENING. Lynching is going out of fashion, according to the Richmond Daily Times-Dispatch. Estimating for the last few weeks of the present year it finds that there have been fewer appeals to lynch law during 1910 than in 1909. And this, it says, represents but a continuation of the general decrease in several recent years. On fifty-seven illegal executions during the present year fifty-two were of Negroes, the "usual crime" being charged only, against ten of them. Four of the five white men were hanged for murder. The only man lynched in the north was Ethering ten, white, whose life was taken at Newark, O. and at least one of whose assailants has been convicted and given a twenty-year sentence, at hard labor. Further, the Times-Dispatch notes that mobs less frequently than formerly torture their victims before killing them. The "popularity" of the stake and pyre is apparently declining; most victims are now either shot or hanged immediately upon capture. It is encouraging to note the fact that leading southern newspapers and others have at last recognized and are publishing the fact that lynching and other forms of mob violence have had most to do with that section's failure to get the immigration that has striven so long and so hard for, and that the failure to get which has so materially checked and retarded its "normal growth." There is in this, some hope for the future. LYNCHING AND DISFRANISEMENT Speaking of the recent Texas lynching of a Mexican, that is causing our Government some trouble, Robert Ellis Thompson in an article on "Our National Delinquency," in the Irish World of Dec. 3, has the following lines of special interest to our people: "Is there no remedy? President Taft thinks there is in the U. S. Constitution itself. The Sixth Article says: "This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made, in the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and, the judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding." In his first message to Congress our President called attention to this proviso, and asked to have it enforced by legislation, which shall be enacted in action, rights and immunities, which have been promised to foreign residents in cities of friendship and com- e legislation proposed sat- s or any other patriotic Would any of us be con- foreign resident should of safety of person and denied to our citizens d we be glad to man, who had 'est Indies lived with our government—the executive, judicial and legislative, all three branches—it fails, and purposely too, to enforce that Sixth Article of the U. S. Constitution. 'The result is, not only lynching of allens and citizens, but also the attempted segregation of our people, the disfranchisement of a million of Afro-American voters in nine or ten southern states, and the "jimrowning" of all interstate passengers of color on the railroads of about every state in that miserably prejudiced section of the country. Sure there is a remedy for all this because the foundation for the same is there in that Sixth Article. The real need, however, is of a Chief Executive who will at least try to see to it that all sections and articles of the U. S. Constitution are lived up to by all the states of the Union, as he sweats to do when he takes the cath of office. Since the days of Gen. U. S. Grant, we have never had such a President. They have seemed to grow weaker and weaker, from the Constitutional right viewpoint, until now we have the very essence of weakness in President Taft who has "lared down" to the South and its unconstitutional state acts, disfranchisement and "jim-crow" car larks even more supinely than did McKinley. Hayes and the rest of their "spineless" kind of presidents. If the Attorney General of the U. S. was put to work by the President to fight for the civil rights (under the U. S. Constitution) of citizens with the same enthusiasm that President Roosevelt had him fight corporations and trusts, for our commercial and other rights, congress and the Supreme Court would be forced to action, and the remedy would be at hand. O, yes! there is a remedy and there are remedies, but they will only be unrestricted and provided as the result of proper activity upon the part of the right kind of a President. May the good Lord give us such, a one in 1912. SOUTHERN "CHIVALBY!" (Special to the Chicago Record Herald.) Fritz Landing, Ark.-Russell Gardner, a St. Louis millionaire and brother-in-law of Gov. Patterson of Tennessee, has deserved his mammoth paycheck, but he has also personal and other injury because he raised the wages of his Afro-American cottonhands and because he fed them "white folks' meat." A skull and cross-bones were sent with one of the government officials have been notified. "White folks' meat!" What a characteristic southern phrase and what cutting comment on the so-called Christianity, ethical superiority, etc., of the "white man's" government in that section of the country particularly, is contained in this phrase. It is not quite obvious from the above "special to the Record-Herald" whether its correspondent, or the editor for that, approves of this conception of "white" superiority in the labor-market and in the household victuals, or not. But it is high time that this "white" sanctity should be exposed, condemned and ridiculed, for a more arrogant attitude, or more seriously speaking, than that which wishes to condemn a workman to a lower kind of food on account of his race, is not conceivable. It would be ridiculous, laughable, if it did not point such a sorrowful lesson. Here is a concrete case—a "theme" for the many white American pulpulteers to ventilate before their Christian and moral hearers! AGAINST INTERMARRIAGE. South Africa in Throes of Race Question, in Which Church Favors Amalgamation. Johannesburg,—South Africa is with nessing a recrudescence of the color question. A Dutch member of the Union Parliament has proposed an amendment to the marriage bill for bidding the marriage of whites and colored persons. The heads of the Anglican and Roman churches demand that the amendment is carried they will nevertheless solemnize such marriages. Other churches, except the Dutch, will probably act in a similar way. The government is trying to burke the amendment, but a small body of Dutch opinion demands the enactment of this restriction. The press here demands the abolishing marriage between whites and colored people without preventing intercourse, which is impossible. The Dutch Church is promoting a private bill to amalgamate the different sections of the church. A feature of the measure is a clause enacting that colored members of the church in Cape Colony will migrate north of the Cape; while colored people in the northern colonies will be ineligible for membership. A large section of the press denounces this as an unprecedented and cynical travesty of Christianity. MAKE SOM= MONEY. The old reliable Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent.

Every child has made a paper propeller or a windmill. But can it be said that the possible uses of the wind have been as artificially investigated as such recently discovered forces as steam and electricity and gases? Is it not conceivable that the practical uses of the wind are underestimated just because they are so familiar? We cannot help explain that the wind are variously employed some day in the same way that probably the problem of laying under contribution the great physicist fact of the tides will be solved. One would think that the wind could be used for electric lighting, yet there is no practical apparatus for the purpose. True, the wind is variable and occasionally absent; but as electricity can be stored, one might suppose that this was the very case in which variability did not particularly matter. Lattice Screens for Inns. Many quiet old lins are to be seen in King's Lynn and the sign of the Lattice Inn is one of the oldest in existence. In the old times the windows of lins were kept open, and in order to hide the revealer within a lattice, screened red, was placed in the window. There is an old saying: "As well known by my wife as an alcehouse by a red lattice." The lattices continued up to the beginning of the eighteenth century, and when they disappeared from the windows they were adopted as signs. The latters are getting very scarce and it is questionable whether half a dozen could be found in this country - Cycling. "What do you think is going to be the fruit of this school controversy?"

The boys know very well to take the cone or country out of their conduits. In the summer jungle all the boys of the village used to gather at a place on the river, known as Thayer's swimming place, about half a mile from the town pump, which was the center from which all distances were measured in those days. There was a little graved beach where you could wade out a rod or two and then for a rod or two the water was over the boy's head. It then became shallow again from the opposite bank. So it was a capital place to learn to swim. After they came out, the boys would sit on the bank and have a sort of boys' exchange, in which all matters of interest were talked over and, a great deal of good natured chaff was exchanged. Any newcomer had to pass through an ordeal of this character, in which his temper and quality were thoroughly tried. I remember now an occasion which must have happened when I was not more than eight or ten years old, when a rather awkward looking individual had come down from New Hampshire and made his appearance at the swimming place. The boy, one after another, tried Lao by putting mocking questions or attempting to humiliate him with some story. He received it all with patience and good nature until one mark second to siting him from his propriety. He turned, with great dignity upon the offender and said: "Was that you that spoke, or was it a pumpkin lausted?" We all thought that it was well said and took him into high favor—Senator Hearn, in "boyhoe!" in Concord. Making Musical Instruments Making Musical Instruments. As a large share of the $1,500,000 import of musical instruments into the United States last year camp Austria, the following note on their manufacture may be of interest: Musical instruments to the value of $152,029 were shipped last year from the town of Grassilz, in the Carlsbad consular district, to the United States. In 1908 the shipments amounted to $112,299 and in 1907 to $175,910. A large proportion of the inhabitants of the village, numbering about 15,000, is engaged in the manufacture of brass horns, trumpets, bugles, cymbals, etc. There are 11 concerns, which employ 20 to 210 men in the factory, and for which hundreds of men, women and children work at home. In addition, there are 130 master makers of musical instruments, who employ 756 workmen. The total number engaged in the industry is about 1,000. The hours of labor in the factory are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with half, half, midmorning and midafternoon resting spells and an hour at noon for dinner. The wages range from $2.43 to $6.69 a week, depending on the skill of the workman.—Consular Report. Root of Evil.

Taking local audiences through the hundred years of symphonies is the plan which the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra has outlined for its season which begins as usual at Grays Armory on Jan. 8. These, of course, have just given much entertainment to many persons at a nominal sum. The executive committee this season in formulating its plans decided upon introducing a novelty which would not only give entertainment, but have considerable educational value. The works of ten composers of symphonies will be presented in the concert hall offering each Sunday will be a Symphony. Around these symphonies will be built a program in which well known local soloists will take part. Five other numbers will also be presented. This as near as the arrangements will allow will consist of music from the popular operas and comedies receiving concert tickets the capital of Europe. The theme of the novelties as well as the presentation of a symphony each Sunday should prove of value to every lover of music. The concerts will begin at three o'clock and conductors Johann Beck and Emil Ring, will alternate in the director's chair.

After Jan. 1, 1911, Mr. Baker will be associated in the office of Referee Lee E. Joslyn and Samuel U. Houghton, City Attorney, as cooperator. On June 6, 1910, he was married to Miss Ida Mae Harrison of his home city, but a former resident of Lmaa, O., and included in his wedding tour. Cleveland, where they were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Mae, Mr. Baker lost a leg below the knee in a railroad accident. This fact only makes his splendid success, thus far in life, all the more praiseworthy. Bay City has a population of about 50,000, of whom less than 200 are Afro-Americans—all of the better class. Therefore there is very little prejudice there. Mr. Baker has met with none in his practice, and has been a partner in a suite of offices in the Shearer Brothers' building, one of the best five-buildings in Bay City, Mich. Here is some real encouragement for our youth, and helps greatly to emphasize the position taken by Prof. Dultois and referred to at length in our Toledo letter elsewhere in this paper. How Machinery Breathes. An English writer on engineering subjects, Mervyn O'Gorman, calls attention to the fact that a piece of machinery, such as an automobile, huld aside after being used, is in danger of internal rusting through a kind of respiration which affects cylinders, gear boxes, clutch chains, interpaces in ball bearings, and so forth. Every inclosed air space "breathes" by drawing in air when a fall of temperature contracts its walls, and expelling it when the walls expand through heat. The moisture introduced with the air is deposited in the cavities, and may produce serious damage through rust. The popular belief that oil will protect the inaccessible parts of unused machinery is fallacious, since nearly all oils take up about three per cent. of water in solution. *Youth's Companion.* Even That Representative Nye of Minnesota has much of the wit of his lamented brother, Bill Nye. Himself a lawyer, Representative Nye said at a lawyers' banquet in Minneapolis: "Lawyers have grand reputations for energy and perseverance. A lad said to his father one day: "Father, do lawyers tell the truth?" "Yes, my boy, the father answered. Lawyers will do anything to win a case." Serviceable Topic "What is your opinion of the initiative and referendum?" "It is likely to prove very useful." replied Senator Sorghum, "in helping to take my constituents' minds off the tariff."
