FEMININE FRILLS OF FASHION
A pale pink chiffon parasol is artis
tically trimmed with bunches of June
roses.
Odd among belt buckles is one of old
ivory representing two ferocious-look
ing tiger heads.
Not pretty, but decidedly odd look
ing, is a belt buckle.of oxidized silver,
set with a few single amethysts.
A pretty pin for chatelaine watches
is a green ribbon knob set with emer
alds, the ends of the ribbons outlined
with diamonds.
A dainty chiffon ruff has around the
neck innumerable little white ostrich
tips, with the chiffon folds. The ends
are of chiffon alone.
Bowknots are coming to the front
again in the jewelry line and are crowd
ing all bugs and other horrible shivery
things to the wall. One design is set
in rubies and diamonds and is dazzling
to look upon.
Yet another belt has been added to
the already numerous designs in these
useful and pretty toilet adjuncts. This
is the initial belt and comes in white,
with a fancy enameled initial in the
^jback. All letters of the alphabet are
to be purchased.
The fancy for green evinced in
Paris in the early part of the year
has not yet died out and it is mixed
with brown cloth to the greatest ad
vantage. A pale-green cloth gown,
made with a short bolero coat, had
a deep band of brown-spotted panne
velvet, shot through with green, and
an ecru Irish crochet collar, finished
with a tie of the same. The plain
cloth skirt was stitched with brown.
This does not, perhaps, sound a par
ticularly happy mixture, but it looked
quite well, owing to the fact that it
was properly carried out.
Michael Henry Herbert, British am
bassador to the United States, bav

of St. Michael and St. George, the
St, James Gazette says a peerage
is sure to follow this honor if all
goes well at the British embassy at
Washington.
Should Sir Michael Hicks-Beach
remain in his present office for an
other four years, and thus bring his
tale of budgets up to 11, he will
have equaled Mr. Gladstone’s record
and surpassed that of any other Eng
lish chaneelloK of the exchequer dur

Franz Muller, a Viennese artist,
was very proud of his beautiful fin
ger nails, which were the envy of
many acquaintances. One of these
was so consumed with jealousy that
he broke one of the beautiful nails,
whereupon the bereaved artist sued
him for damages, A jury has just
awarded him 1,000 crowns, about $200
of American money.

Present Telephone Tendencies
By A. S. HIBBARD,
General Manager Chicago Telephone Company.
L . .--.r--—- _ J
EXPANSION AND UNIFICATION
are the two words that tell the story.
It is strictly within the limit of probabil
ities to say that, in^he next five years, the
number of telephone stations in the United
States will be doubled; that telephone serv
ice will be available to every farmhouse from
the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic ocean;
that the inventions for long-distance trans
mission brought into service in the last two
years will be so perfected that telephone
conversation between San Francisco and
New York will be as successful as it is now
between Chicago and the eastern metropolis.
To indicate how much of an advance these achievements would
be, let me say that at present nearly 100,000 farmhouses in this coun
try are equipped with telephones, and that the latest “long-distance
devices” have made it possible to talk successfully across 2,000 miles
of country.
This policy of expansion—of pushing out in all directions—has
resulted in a tremendous growth in telephone service in this country
within the last three or four years. The increase in the number of Bell
telephones—and I can speak of no other—in the year of 1901 was
more than 200,000—or more than all the 'phones in use in 1891.
Four years ago the business house which had more than 100 calls a
day was considered remarkable; now we have houses among our pa
trons which have 3,000 to 4,000 calls a day; use 200 instruments, 30
lines, and employ three or four private operators. Some hotels have
long-distance instruments in every guest room.
In less than ten years New York city has increased from 10,000
to 80,000 telephones, and Chicago from 8,000 to 50,000.
Party line, coin-in-the-slot plans have made it possible for per
sons to have a private telephone who, a year ago, did not dream of
such a luxury without a decided increase in their resources. Now the
household which needs to use a telephone only twice a day can have
it on the PAY-AS-YOU-TALK plan. All the larger exchanges are
under this method, which makes the telephone possible to the small
user, and new rating plans are rapidly extending better service at
smaller cost to the lesser cities and country towns.
It must be clear to all that the ideal telephone service is that
which would enable any patron to talk with any or every other per
son who has a telephone in the whole country.
Let me illustrate this desirability of unification by an incident
from actual experience. Recently a farmer in central Illinois had a
telephone pi t into his house, not expecting to use it for conversation
with any city more distant than Chicago. In less than a week after
his instrument had been installed he found it imperative to talk with a
person in New York, on a matter of the utmost importance. With
out the present degree of unification this would, of course, have been
impossible. When the entire telephone service of the country is uni
fied into one system, the ideal service can be rendered, and not until
then.
The first need of the great majority of the people of the United
States is ability to earn their livelihood, because the first duty of every

The Need ot Techn productive industry. Educa
meal Education tional provisions
- SHOULD ALWAYS BE
By Prof. Virgil G. Curtis, ADAPTED TO PRESENT
Supt. Poly technical School, Toledo. CONDITIONS AND TO THE
IMMEDIATE NEED OF THE PEOPLE.
Manual training should enter into every school and form a neces
sary part of its curriculum, from the kindergarten to the university.
The equilibrium of our national education should be so adjusted
that it will include what life calls for. Industry should come in for
its equitable share in what has been so long the exclusive empire of
literary instruction. Let the avowed purpose of our whole educa
tional scheme be to fit our youth for life, bearing in mind the inevi
table prospect THAT NINE-TENTHS OF THEM MUST FACE
A LIFE OF WORK WITH THEIR HANDS.
It may seem strange that the American people, who are so keen
and alert, so energetic and full of push, should have been so long in
different to the vital imnortance of snecial industrial education Tl-ie
age is preeminently an industrial age. THE SPIRIT OF OUR IN
DUSTRIAL, AND EVEN OUR PROFESSIONAL, LIFE IS
SPECIALIZATION. But the American people have been so ab
sorbed in the development of tlie wonderful agricultural, mineral, and
oleaginous researches of our vast domain that they have not consid
ered our deficiencies nor realized how far we are in the rear of other
nations in providing for the future and securing for this country the
advantages of technical training that are offered freely to the workers
of other countries. The rich products of our fertile soil, the abun
dance of valuable minerals in our mining regions, the vast supply of
timber from our forests, the water power from our rushing streams,
our wide expanse of territory, and all our other marvelous facilities
for the accumulation of wealth, have been such prolific sources of
profit that we have come to look upon them as inexhausti
ble sources of wealth, and have shut our eyes to any neces
sity for future provisions or precautions. But although our exports
of raw materials or products of the earth are valued at from $500,000,
000 to $700,000,000 annually, yet it is altogether probable that agri
culture and mining and lumbering and oil producing must eventually
decrease, and THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES MUST
OF NECESSITY BECOME MORE OF A MANUFACTURING
PEOPLE.
Those who have observed the trend and progress of education in
other countries know what might be learned from their example.

Miss Blanch Grey, 174 Alabama
street, Memphis, Tenn., a society wom
an of Memphis, writes;
“To a society woman whose nervous
force is often taxed to the utmost from
lack of rest and irregular meals I
know of nothing which is of so much
benefit as Peruna, I took it a few
months ago when I felt my strength
giving away, and it soon made itself
manifest in giving me new strength
and health.”—Miss Blanch Grey.
Mrs. X. Schneider, 2409 Thirty-sev
enth Place, Chicago, 111., writes:
“After taking several remedies with
out result, I began last year to' take
your valuable remedy, Peruna. 1 was
a complete wreck. Had palpitation of
the heart, cold hands and feet, female
weakness, no appetite,trembling, sink
ing feeling nearly all the time. You
said I was suffering with systemic
catarrh, and I believe that I received
your help in the nick of time. I fol
lowed your directions* carefully and
can say to-day that I am well again.
I cannot thank you enough for my
cure.”
Peruna cures catarrh wherever lo
cated. Teruna is not a guess nor an
experiment—it is an absolute scien
tific certainty. Peruna has no substi
tutes—no rivals. Insist upon having
Peruna.
A free book written by Dr. Hartman,
on the subject of catarrh In Its differ
ent phases and stages, will be sent
free to any address by The Peruna
Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio.
Catarrh is a systemic disease curable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly
at the depressed nerve centers. This is
what Peruna does.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Pe
rune write at once to Dr. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.
Address Dr. Hartman, President of
The IlartmanSanitarium, Columbus,O.
DU. LLEWELLYN JORDAN. Medi
cal Examiner of the U. S. Treas
ury department, graduate, of Colum
bia College, and who served three year*
at West Point, has the following
say of Peruna:
••Allow me to express my gratitude to
you for the benefit derived from your
wonderful remedy. One short month
has brought forth a vast change and t
now consider myself a well man after
months of suffering. Fellow tut*
ferers, Peruna will cure you."
Peruna immediately invigorates the
ner centers which give vitality to the
mucous membranes. Then catarrti
disappears. Then catarrh is perma
nently cured.
