"The Hand That Rocks the Cradle Rules the World." A MOTHER'S love starts a man or woman on the ri-nt path. The right remedy at the right fime fits a mother for the ordeal. Motherhood is often looked forward to with feelings of great dread by most women. At such a time when she is nervous, dyspeptic, irritable and in need of a uterine tonic-something which, will- caln the nervous system through the spccial organs, and a strength buildcr, she vill find Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription just what is needed.

Here is a medicine that has stood the test of a third of a century with approval, in that time it has scld more largely than any other remedy put up specially for woman's weaknesses. It is guaranteed by the proprietors not to contain a particle of alcohol-which could only do harm to a sensitive system. WnY WOMEN SHOULD CONFIDE IN A MAN.

Great Britain and Germany looking to a settlement of the Samoan indemnity claims htave practically come to a standstill, owing to a wide difference of opInion Rs to the extent of damage sustained by the German subjects in the Samoan group as a result joint operations by the American and BrItish naval forces in 1900 to suppress rebellion. The question of the liability omf thet l'nited States and Great Britain for the damages sustained by German planta4ion owners was decided by King Oscar of Sweden in favor of the claimants in 1902. tihe arbitrator did not attempt to assess indiv'idutal damages, leaving these to be adj usted by negotiation. These negotiations 3nave dragged along ever since 1902 and slow the principals find themselves no aie arer an agreement than at the beginning. Thte German claims amount to about and the British and American negotiato)rt insist that that sum is exoedve, and that 125.000 is a good price for the property destroyed.

It is probable it will in the end be necessary to appoint a comn3uissIon to take testimony as to the extent of the actual damage, though the msalne.s of the amount involved would seem to make this an unduly expensive undertakMeanwhile, the are becoming Test ive and are bringing pressure to bear upon the German government to obtain ettlemuent.

Design by Redfern. (Copyright. 1905. by R. F.

Ayers.) Without crying down chiffon and chiffon cloth for evening costumes, it may truthfully be said that there is no materialgnore charming, graceful and youthful than silk muslin. For a young woman or a girl in her first season this diaphanous fabric is exquisite, and it makes the sort of frock that will look well for summer dances and entertainments. For this reason it has been used extensively in the wardrobes prepared for the southern sojourners. One of the most artistic models from the Parisian headquarters is that offered today. It was intended for a young girl's dancing gown, and the skirt impressed one with the idea that it was composed of a whole wilderness of frills, while even the bodice seemed a mass of their filmy fluffiness.

First of all, the soft taffeta lining was draped with at least three thicknesses of white chiffon, so that even before the overdress was laid on it looked like a mass of billowy clouds. Upon this was fastened an exceedingly full skirt of ivory silk muslin, trimmed round with four flounces of Venise lace. The lowest one came on the very bottom of the skirt apd lay on the floor several inches in front and made a long, sweeping train. Just above this, across the front, the second flounce was put on to follow an irreguSlar line that dipped in the center, rose at Seach side and drooped again at the back. The third flounce conformed to this same sNINETIETH ANNIVERSARY.

The increasing width of sleeves Is becoming more and more noticeable in the newest modes sent over, until now it Is rather hasardous to predict Just where the halt will be called. Tailor costumes, especially, show a great change in this feature. The style is usually og the matton leg order, and when there is a cuff it is an extremely long affair, reaching from below the wrist to above the elbow in many instances.

$YaLAeb fispter nchof Tssc mwt "migration and immigration Serious Problems, LE ARMY AND NAVY rlST THRONGS DEPEWDNNT UPON CRAiTY. Constant Indow of Aliens )From the Continent and Emigrants Going to the Colonies. peeal Correspordence of The Evening Star. LONDON, March 5. 1901 Helping worthy and able-bodied native Itisens to leave the country and raising iore money for the support' of those who rill not work, those who cannot work and hose who cannot find work have largely bsorbed the energies of the English peile during the past winter months.

In 1.he eantime, objectionable Immigration has een entirely unrestricted. In no cuntry in the world will the comig of spring this year be more heartily 'elcomed than in England. The past win- er has been one of great distress, an nusual number of workers have been out employment, general business has been ull, the weather has been severe and the haritable resources of the country have een strained almost to the breaking point keep an appreciable percentage of the opulation from actual starvation. Nearly ne million people have applied each day. the public authorities for some form of rIlef, and the 500,000,000 raised by taxation )r this purpose has been inadequate to I upply the demands of the year.

Relieving the distress of the unfortunate nd finding employment for willing work- rs are features all too common in the life 4 every civilized country. Out of the sitation in England, however, has grown a eculiar form of relief which, when considred calmly, can only be regarded as of oubtful benefit to the nation as a whole. is the fad now to help some worthy but. Istressed man, woman or family to leave be country. These people are presumably 3nt to the colonies at the expense of the haritably inclined.

To assume that a 4 hritish citizen located in Canada, Austra- 4 South Africa ot" some remote British ependency is as useful to the mother ountry as if he formed a unit in the pop- lation at home is one form of what is allqd "thinking Imperially." Keeping Up the Army and Navy. Prominent Englishmen are advocating onscription as being the only way in which he British army can be kept up to the reuired standard of size and efficiency. The upply of British sailors is hardly suffi- lent to man the new vessels as fqst as hey are put into commission. In the rural Listricts in time of harvest it is difficult to ecure sufficient labor to make farming pay ts way, and throughout Great Britain, rhen industry is flourishing, the supply og ands for mills, factories and other like enerprises is none too ample. Notwithstand- a ng these facts.

"emigration" is held to be he solution of the present distressful con- itions, and the wonders it Is to bring about a making the whole people once more pros- oerous and happy are daily set forth in orint and from the platform-by many estinable people genuinely d'sinterested in heir desire not only to help their fellow nen, -but to be of service to their country. An Infiowing Stream of Aliens. While this assisted emigration is in progess, quietly but surely there flaws from the ontinent to England a stream of aliens, robably comprising the most undesirable lass of immigration which is at present rioving into any country. These people are he poverty-stricken peasants and laborers Russia and Galicia, few of whom possess iore than the miserable clothes they carry pon their persons, and whose advent into cle means nothing more or less than haN increase of the labor available for the hai weatshop and other miserably paid trades, Inc what is worse, recruits for the penal in- via titutions or for the already vast throng of wrc hose dependent upon charity for their very cou xistence. poll Followed out to Its logical ending -there vio an be but one result to a national policy yes uch as this, and that is a reduction in the as umber of worthy, able-bodied native citi- Mo ens who comprise the labor supply and the ilitary strength of the country, and the ubstitution therefor of an element of unesirable foreigners who lessen rather than to the strength of the people as a rhole.

Within the life of a generation a oticeable change can be effected in the haracter of the English people through a ontinuation of this outward movement of tative population and Inward movement of liens. In 1903 70,000 British left their Lomes, seeking permanent residence else- of' where; In 1904 this number was increased to th 0,000. The number of foreigners coming to ga: Ingland to remain there permanently aver- ag ges between 00,000 and 70,000 year, and is ow increasing, notably during the past few Ma nonths. eni The English people do not, as a rule, long Dr emain at odds with common sense. Prog- pgn ess is being made in the movement to so th4 emodel the fiscal system as to favor home ndustry, lighten taxation and restore agri- of ulture to its former position as a gaeat na- Botonal industry.

we Dem'ands of Working Men. p0 Controversy rages as to what has broughtth England and people to present condi- ions, conditions so bad as to cause sober wa nien to apparently lose their heads. Not Coi he least of these causes may be laid at the of loor of the workingmen themselves, in that kn4 hrough their jealousy of capital and sus- iclon of non-sympathetic employers they by iave gone too far, and through combina-- H. Ion have secured greater privileges in cer- coz aln directions than were justified by the we iature of England's competitive trade with tro oreign peoples. The working men of Eng- der and have said that It should lie within the heir power to limit the amount of work to gra se accomplished by each individual within he day of labor, regardless of -the ability that Individual to accomplish more or Stas ess than his fellow, ant Material conditions are no different in Ste England today from what they were at an( iny recent perior of great prosperity.

Her Wi upplies of raw material at home are just as soli creat, if not greater, and the sources of sol, upply abroad are expanding and show a Gle torresponding cheapening in the price of lia1 naterial. England's merchant marine is as nei preat a factor as ever in the commerce of he world, the amount of capital available nu or enterprise is apparently inerhaustble Jy ad, in fact, a careful review of all these vol naterlal points goes far to show that any Mr Lepression which may preVail in British in- item Lustry must be due to human faults and sei Holicies' nu Decline of British Agriculture.

In appearance it resembles a street sprinkling wagon. The apparatus consists of a tank of about 500 gallons' capacity, onethird of which is filled with water and the remaining two-thirds is charged with compressed air. After viewing the experiment Superintendent Stidham stated that the work done by the machine was excellent; that the water Is forced out under great pressure, which is continuous and uniform.

He said, however, that In connection with the use of the machine the questions of economy of operation and the amount of work that could be performed with It would have to be considered.

Referring to a request made by First Lieutenant Win. H.

Grant that it has been held by the department that Canada and Mexico are not "beyond the sea" It is not necessary for officers to obtain per-, mission from the War Department to visit those countries. Col.
