THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1903.
New Brunswick lias reached the
point where she is talking abont horses
for all seven of her lire companies
and the purchase of life apparatus.
The oounty seat, of oonrse, has been
a city of 20,000 inhabitants for many
years while Perth Amboy has grown
to that size in a very short time and
it is bnt natural that we should not
hare all the requirements of a city at
once. Perth Amboy has been busy
ereoting school houses which all cost
money, but it is certain that the Are
department should receive immediate
attention and be put in a condition to
properly protect all buildings erected
here so fast.
The special session of the legislature
met and adjourned within four hours
time, passing the Passaic sewer bill
in the meantime. There was not even
a voioe spoken against the measure.
Democrats and Republicans vied with
eaoh other trying to show their love
for the State and their regards for the
inhabitants thereof. Truly it was a
wonderful performance. Editorial
pens will have just as muoh to write
about as t>4oL"'h there was the hardest

Oamden indeed must be a wonder
fully well lighted city. At a meeting
of the Lighting Committee of the
Council of that oity one of the mem
bers said that several thousand dollars
worth of lights could be taken out.
It isn't often one hears of a city com
plaining of the streets being too well
lighted. It is generally the boast of
a municipality.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Trenton has not yet learned the
lesson that experience has taught some
other oities of placing ajlaver of stone
or brick next to the rails of the trolley
roads when constructing asphalt pave
ments. But kindergarten lessons in
the shape of^numerous deep gullies in
the, handsome new asphalt pavements
are having their effect, and Trenton
is learning ?Trenton in New York
Herald.
The new Asbnry Park Beach Com
mission is progressive. It has allow
ed two young women to open the bath
ing season considerablv earlier than
under the Bradley regime.? Newark
Evening News.
The Legislature has finished up its
work and gone. The fears of trouble
were groundless, and the only inci
dent was a further demonstration of
the lack of tact of Republican leader
Boyd. ? Trenton Times.
In speaking of the fire department
in that city the Atlantio Oity Daily
Press says: There 'is no doubt that
the best interests of the oity would
be subserved by the outright purchase
of the property owned by the volun
teers, as demanded by them. The
only question involved is one of con
venience in supplying the purchase
money at this time. But this question
can well be waived and the money
raised.
The tracks are at last clear for a
paid fire department and they shonld
be kept clear.
ODDS AND ENDS OF SILK.
Oa?d Way to Utilise Small Pfcecea
That Accumulate in the
C'oarie at Time.
It i? always difficult to know '.vhat
to do wit^i odds and ends of silk, and
it often seems a pity to throw away
beautiful shades of good silks tven
If <he pieces are small. Instead of
committing them to the flames you
?hould keep even the tiniest pieces,
and when you have collected a good
many different colors you can then
?elect those which harmonize and set
to work to do this patchwork, says
American Queen.
To begin with, it would be best to
take some very simple design. Sup
posing you start with the inevitable
pin cashion. First, take a ?mall
square of linen, crash, "tick," un
bleached calico, or any substantial
material, cutting it a little larger
than required, so as to allow for
turnings. On this draw in ink the de
sign given, or any other suitable one.
Now select those silks, velvets, etc.,
which look well together. Make up
your mind which shall be the prin
cipal color, whiclj the second, and so
on, and then put on one side the
parts for each piece of the design.
Now take some tracing paper and
trace off from the drawing on your
foundation one of the spaces re
quired; then take a sharp pair of
scissors and cut out, the shape on the
paper; next lay this on the silk you
have decided to use, and, if necessary,
tack together and cut the silk very
carefully. Have ready some thin
starch paste, with which smear the
back of the silk and then put it in
it* proper place on the foundation.
Take a pfe'ee of clean paper and place
over the design, putting a book on
the top to press it while preparing
the next piece. The pieces should be
stuck a.s soon as cut out to prevent
fraying. Do not try to cut very
small pieces at first, but be content
with the bolder patterns. It is. as
well to let the silks overlap, so cut
the under ones a trifle larger than
the upper.
When you have cut and pasted all
pieces in their right places you can
?ee if the effect is good. If not, re
move those colors which are not sat
isfactory and try some other color.
Let the whole press till perfectly dry.
It is best to strain the foundation
linen . on an embroidery frame, or,
if a small work, one of the ring
4r anus will suffice. You can use up
odds and ends of siTk left over rrom
other works. The veins of the leaves,
dots, etc., can be worked in almost
any color.
The outline of the design should be
done with Japanese gold, stitched
across with yellow or some other
color or with several strands of silk
laid down and stitched across, or
with chainstitch, buttonhole, etc., or
you can buy some very fine silk braid
and outline with that. If you are
using all washing silks, then use a
foundation which washes well, and
instead of paste tack the pieces and
machine stitch the edges. Some parts
will require shading, and this can be
done with different stitches, and oth
er spaces will want filling. If you
happen to have some larger pieces of
silk you will probably be able to
choose some design with those as a
foundation and a dispersed design on
the top.
FRILLS OF FASHION.
Item* of Feminine Pinery That Will
Kiiiurr In the Coming Sea
son's Coatumra.
Colored laces are having great vogue
not only the laces dyed to match
gowns, but coarse filet darned in pat
terns in blues, reds or browns.
Some of the new dotted silk mous
seline veils have gayly embroidered
borders, two or three inches deep, in
the popular strawberry design, reports
the New York Sun.
White roses and purple lilacs, tied in
little alternating sprays on a length
of narrow light blue velvet ribbon,
make a graceful chain to wear with a
rlecollete bodice. A longer chain to
match is festooned about the skirt of
the frock.
Many of the long evening gloves are
inset with lace insertion.
The hats will bear fruits in and out
of season. One supports a spray of
small oranges, another is a strawberry
bed, a third is luscious w ith cherries.
A coarse net, embroidered in straw
andj appliqued with strawberries and
leaves, is used for hat crowns.
For the woman who loves the weird
there are the new snake girdles and
chains of white metal. These snakes
are wonderfully and fearfully flexible
and their jeweled eyes gleam effec
tively. ,
Handkerchiefs exactly matching the
frock in color are a present fad and
some women go to the length of hav
ing 'kerchiefs dyed to match each of
their jrown*
THE 1903 SHIRT WAIST.
Iimt Kph< ar<?? TJi?? Will Be In Kvi
dence In the t'p-to-Date
Garment.
In the new features of shirt waists
(he band can be particularly noticed.
It is about six inches deep and can be
justed to any sleeve. It is put on
like a deep cuff, but is worn above the
elbow instead of below it. One can
own many pairs of these elbow cuffs,
says the Brooklyn Kagle.
A modeste who is responsible f?r a
great many of the shirt waist fashions,
for it is her business to design them
for the I'aris and London market,
declares, that the waist of this summer
will present a great many novelties,
one of which will be the oddity of their
fastenings.
The modiste says that no less than
ten distinct new features will be not
ed, one of which is the tendency to use
the button as an ornament, and to use
the large button rather than the small
one.
Another is that shirt wuists will
show elbow sleeves in more pro
nounced form than ever.
Where the sleeves are Long the puff
will begin at a point above the elbow
and will fall in a long 'graceful line
far below the hand.
The cuff, once such an important
thing rf|>on a shirt waist, will practi
cally disappear and be replaced by
i little band of needlework.
The needlework bands which answer
for cuffs will consist of a small point
falling over the knuckles, only this
and little more.
The adjustable cuff, wnich is slipped
on above the elbow, may be made of
lace, of embroideried chiffon, of pas
sementerie or of panne.
Oriental embroidery is used for the
wide cuff between the elbow and
shoulder.
All shirt waist necks are supplied
with a little band of lawn or 'lace,
edged with a lace ruffle; and over this
standing band a stock can be worn
or not as preferred.
The newest washable shirt waists
are made with bands of insertion run
ning round and round the figure to
the belt line.
Small tucks are more in vogue than
ever and all grades of tucks, down to
pin tucking, are used for trimmiiig
the shirt waists for the year.
Tucked effects are introduced be
tween rows of lace and insertion, and
tucked effects are used where the ob
ject is to make a wide cuff.
Where tucks are used along' the yoke
they are released suddenly to make
the puff over tne belt line. But where
tucks are used around the beltthe puff
comes higher up, over the bust, where
the puff is bordered 00 each side with
a band of insertion.
In the summer shirt waist the object
seems to be to use as much handiwork
and lace as possible and to put the
waist together in ways that shall be
as daintily delicate as can be.
In -the embroidery world there are
noted many fancies, the newest of
which is for the embroidering of
grapes upon the summer shirt waists.
And not only are the grapes embroi
dered upon the thin goods, but upon
the heavier ones, such as linen and
cheviot and the new coarse goods.
Bunches of grapes, almost life size,
are placed directly upon the front of
the shirt waist, which is buttoned at
one side, or in the back. Then the de
sign is repeated in smaller form upon
cuffs and stock and traces of it, a few
lingering sprays, are seen at each
shoulder.
Shirt waists are divided into three
classes this year, or families. One is
the fluffy family, all ruffles and little
trimmings. Another is the silk or
satin variety ? trimmed with chiffon
and with embroidered lace and pas
sementerie- And, besides these, there
is the shirt waist proper, the only
original shirt waist, which is made in
severe fashion of linen, or cheviot,
or very coarse canvas, and which it for
the links or for wear with the pedes
trian skirt.
With the tailor-made suit one does
not wear the severe linen waist, but
one wears, rather, the little lace ruffled
front, the delicate silk, the beautifully
trimmed lace and passementerie waist
and the waist that is all fluff and frip
pery.
As a plensant relief to the severity
of the tailored waist, is thiR ruffled
front, as it peeps out of the rfoth
packet, and as a very becoming feature
of dress does it come, against the chin
and face, where the tailor-made waist
is so extremely trying.

WILD FOWLS IN MEXICO.
A. Corner of Our Hemlnphere I.lttl*
Kiuiyu to Hunters Where There
la Much Game.
There is a part of the American con
tinent seldom visited by sportsmen,
which is a hive of winter game. It
offers extraordinary inducements to
the amateur shooter and a wide Held
for the market hunter. The chances
are that it will remain for years a vast
natural reserve and a place from which
will come the birds to replenish an
nually the decimated flocks that win
ter on waters more easily reached, says
the New York Sun.
The territory embraces the far-ex
tending marshes of northeastern Mex
ico. It is a country of lagunas, or slug
gish rivulets, scarce lowef than the
lands through which they flow. The
soil is permeated with water which
seeps and trickles for miles.
It grows an endless variety of food
and in enormous quantities. Its ponds
are in thousands. Cover is everywhere.
With every advantage of climate,
water and food the ducks have sought
it in millions, particularly as there
they are comparatively undisturbed,
and the same leaders visit it year after
Jear, taking their fresh offspring. It
is known as the Lagunas district. Kail
ways have dodged it as far as possible,
as building through it is costly in the
extreme. It lies partly in the state of
Coahuila and partly in Nuevo Leon at
a distance of from 100 to 200 miles be
yond the Rio Grande.
The Mexicans have no game laws
to speak of, because they have never
needed them. They are not sportsmen
as Gringos understand the term,. Occa
sionally one of them takes a single
barreled fowling piece which came
from Spain a century ago, or a musket
which has drifted down from the
States, goes out and murders a duck or
two for dinner, but that is about the
limit of the national shooting.
Americans who have heard of the
region go down in small parties, stay
for a week or ten days and m?ke enor
mous bags, from which they feed
themselves and as many of the natives
as happen to be about, but it is not
likely that the Lagunas country will
be invaded in force for the next quar
ter of a century. Getting into the
neighborhood costs money and then
there is a long and toilsome trip to the
grounds.
The heart of the Lagunas is not to
be reached under 50 miles from any
railway, and the adventurer will be as
apt to go by ox cart with wooden
wheels as any other way. Walking is
a pood denl faster and easier.
Once there, however, a man may
wear out his gun shooting from day
light to dark if his shoulder does not
wear out first and there is no migra
tory northern bird which he will not
find, not to mention several varieties
of ducks and many varieties of birds
which never come north at all. Snipe
are there, woodcock, every kind of
American wild duck, geese of many
kinds, pelicans, bronze ibises, flamin
goes and what not and in such quan
tities that killing them, unless a man
picks out difficult shots, becomes a
monotony.
There is seldom frost and never ice
of more than a window pane's thick
ness, and in the winter the climate is
excellent; in spring and summer it Is
deadly. There is, of course, no way in
which the game can be shipped out,
but market hunters who went down
there and established a line of trans
portation to the railways would make
fortunes. It is a region where a boat
with a swivel gun would stock a city
with game in a week.
Bound to Win.
"Yea," said the young- wife, "Henry
and I had some words this morning,
and I can't deny that he got the best
of it."
"That will never do," returned the
experienced neighbor. "You can't af
ford to start in married life that way."
"I know it," answered, the young
wife. "I've thought it all over, and
when he comes home to-night I'm go
ing to bring him to terms so quick that
he'll Bardly know what's happened."
"That's right, my dear. Show some
spirit. What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to bring up the subject
again and then cry."? -Stray Stories.
"Yes. Puffup asserts that he has al
ways been accustomed to riding in a
carriage. I suppose he started life
that way."

Nothing Fixed.
Recently when a church steeple was
in course of erection in a village in the
west of Scotland, one of the leading
heritors had a conversation With the
architect, and pointed out the danger
which he supposed might arise from
the action of the wind upon the weath
ercock, the great size of which sur
prised him when he saw it on the
ground. He thought it would be apt
to disturb the stones upon the pin
nacle of the steeple.
"Oh, there's no danger," said the
architect. "You see, the weathercock
turns round with the wind, and never
presents any great surface to it. There
is nothing fixed bu,t the cardinal
points."
"Aweel," said the heritor, "could ye
no' mak' the cardinal points turn
round, too?" ? London Tit-Bits.
