down last session by the house com

tending to discourage any such efforts
In the future.
In strong language the committee
pointed out that the provision of the
constitution prohibiting the accept

official life vvas drawn wisely by the
fathers of the country in the interest
of the integrity nnd perpetuity of tho
republic 1'nderlying the prohibition
js the thought that those accepting
such gifts would be under more or
less obligation to the giver, and to
that uegiee, at least, weaken his al

most definite result shows a gain of
approximately oneelghth of 1 per

amounting to $13.'-M 1.000 since the
beginning of our paper money about
half a century ago. .
In Its accounts the government, to
be absolutely "safe," puts the per
centage of destruction of notes at tho
lowest possible point, no that there is
no chance of it llnding itself worse
off than It had imagined in tho event
of a- run on tho treasury. In the
treasurer's statement concerning
notes is always entered under the
caption 'unknown, destroyed." an

t the redemption column nnd sub

thus preserving the balance. '
All sorts of causes contribute to

Important cause, though Improved

annually redin ing the loss from this

responsible fur some of the loss.

new regulations are almost entirely
theoretical or dependent upon the ex

transportation is the same as at the
beginning of tho civil war, for our
army has so far failed to make use
of automobiles, traction engines and
other modern appliances in the field.
The weaknesses could be quickly de
veloped If the present annual maneu

by the march of a complete army

North Carolina Rattlers
The state museum now contains the
largest rattlesnake, mounted, in ar-y
collection In the world. It may not
be generally known, but It is true that
in North Carolina the largest rat

snake experts are the authority for
this statement.
It must be borne In mind that tho
skin of a snake can be greatly
stretched, so that after it has been
removed It can be pulled out in any
way to make the snake appear longer
or of greater girth. In this case the
taxidermist, Tom Addicks, made a
perfect plaster east and on this mount
ed the skin, which was made to fit
precisely and to conform to every
measurement.
This snake is 6 feet 11 inches in
length, 11 inches In girth and weighed
7 pounds 10' ounces. It has 12 rat
tles. The width of its body, lying
flat, Is 4Vi inches. The length of tail
from vent to rattles, but not includ
ing the latter, is only 4'4 inches.
The head is V'x inches wide. The

FOR WINTER HATS
FEATHER3 OF ALL 80RT8 ARE TO
BE ADORNMENT.
Last Word as to Millinery for the
Coming Season Has Been Said
Profusion of Strange and
Beautiful Things.
No work has been too Intricate or
painstaking for the maker of fancy
feathers for tho coming winter Benson.
Women will certainly bo a feathered
throng, so far as their millinery Is
concerned, for the stores are deluged
with wings, bands, pompons, sprays
and even ostrich plumes with new
and Ftrango markings or branched
with airy aigrettes.
One wonders where all the ideas
came from and It Is certain that an
- mm-yR
.... pmm" "
army of people must have hi en long
j busy, fashioning these new and
; M range and beautiful feather decora
i (ions.
Smart, to the last, degree, is the
' pompon (military stj'lc) of Spanish
J coque, such as the Italian army otll
i cers wear on their hats. Miladi has
borrowed this crisp, dignified decora
tion for her turban of fur or velvet.
The eoque feather is an expensive lux
ury, but it is elegant and never out of
style.
There are innumerable made wings
In which each separate feather la
sewed to a foundation. They aro
single apd In pairs, and many mem
bers of the world of birds who are
natural enemies, are represented in
these creations. They llo down In
"piece" together, us the facetious ex
press it.
Among the airiest are the new
mountings of ostrich into sprays or
i aigrettes. They will form a substitute
for the aigrette which is forbidden In
I some states and which one may not
', wear with a perfectly easy conscience.
The made fancy feathers are nearly
all the result of Intelligent designing,
; with feathers of domestic or other edi
ble fowls, nnd their manufacture gives
work to thousands of families. No
rtne need have scruples ngainst wear
ing them, or against the ostrich plume
i or fancy ostrich feathers.
The pieces pictured, and others like
them, make the work of the home
milliner easy. Civen a good, graceful
shape and one of these feathers, the
trimming problem solves Itself.
VCGUE FQFt BLACK VELVET
Use of the Supple Material for Gar
ments of All Kind3 Has Now
Eecome General.
The vogue for black velvet reached
its height when some Paris designers
I allied it with Knglish eyelet cmbrold
i ery. People gasped, stared and then
ns quickly as possible went and did
' likewise. It is not surprising to see
how general the use of this supple
material for It must be supple Is.
It edges the filmy materials of eve
ning gowns. A broad band of velvet
is used at the hem or to gather In
the fullness of a tunic. This note Is
repeated on the sleeves that might
suggest too little strength of weave
to sustain the weight, but it can be
done with safety and undeniable ef
fect. Black velvet with lace is another
combination that Is charming. Span
ish lace, in white, black or colors, is
relieved by strips and panels of vel
vet that gives a rich body to any
filmy gown and affords contrast In
textures.
As rosettes, girdles or pipings the
use of black velvet Is without limit.
The color Itself serves to bind togeth
er two contrasting shades Into a
veritable harmony. Again, It gives a
line of contrast between two tones of
HAT BOX THING OF BEAUTY
Receptacle for Headgear May Be
Made an Ornament for the
Girl's Room.
Covered hat boxes are already much
In demand for prizes, while for gifts
or for sale at a fair they are still suf
ficiently ' original to be eagerly
tought.
For a rose colored boudoir a Ik:
Barry pink moire, bordered about the
box itself as well as the lid with a
good sized French print placed both
on the top of the box and on one or
all panels is really beautiful. A well
made hat box with wooden frame must
be procured to cover, for an ordinary
cardboard box Is not sufllclently m ;
to be worth the covering. All th
expensive hats are now generally sent
home in these boxes having wooden
framework, and If a girl I:, riot so for
tunate as to possess such a box her
self she surely can beg, borrow or
steal one from some friend or rela
tive. The prints, of course, must be pasted
to the mtrterlol before the box Itself
one color, thus strengthening a
scheme and emphasizing lines.
Sashes are a dominant nolo thin'
season. Of black velvet, fringed with;
heavy silk or allied In unexpected
ways with chiffon or tulle, a sash will
add distinction to tho simplest frock.
The sensible way Is to make it Hil
Justable, for the friendly black can be
taken from one frock and used on an
other gown with great effect.
Black velvet hats for afternoon nnd
evening are undoubtedly In the fore
most ranks. They aro shown In some
advanced openings In large, low
Hhapes with oval crowns. Frequently
there are coutrastiyg under surface
of bright satin.
For evening gownB tho black velvet
models bid fair to curry the l.inrels.
They are combined with gold on silver
embroidery or with wonderful beadod
plastrons that reflect tho colore ot tho
rainbow.
When you discover the magnificent
evening wraps of black velvet that
are friendly In that they will grace
any colored costume, then, indeed, the
full Hlgnlllcance of beauty will burst
upon you. These can be lined with
metallic tulle under chiffon; they can
be lined with soft hand painted sntin
or brocaded silk, and nro ho lovely
on the Inner surface that many own
ers will bo tempted to turn them In
side out for a change.
But remember that black velvet In

block print table and pillow covers,
which come in cretonne patterns and
require only to be braid and fringe

To keep these "unspoiled" from the
world while in the course of their put
ting together, some young women are
making for themselves white and bluo
crash aprons furnished with four deep
pockets formed by simply turning up
the lower edge to the required depth
and edging it with wide braid.
Into such pockets may be placed the
mate rials for teacloths to be bordered
with the lace crochet, of which there
