for mariners at four times as many

forecasts to six times as many places,
and It has added entirely new lines of
service, such as the collection of re
ports of crop conditions, and the regu

the forecasting of floods. By means of

case of the hurricane which did so
much damage In Barbados, Sl Vin

was detected twenty-four hours In ad

the course of tbe storm predicted. Ves

was less than It otherwise would have

The uprising of tbe Pillager Indians
In Minnesota recalls the coincidence
tht tbe red men of that region have on
two previous occasions taken advan
tage of the Federal authority being at
war to make trouble. The first time
was before Minnesota was a State, In
1847, when tbe regular troops were
taken to Mexico, when tbe uprising at
St Cloud took place. It was quickly
repressed, but with some loss of life.

bloody memories of Indian warfare. A
force of forty-flve soldiers sent against
the Insurgents were ambushed and
nearly all slain, and the Indians then
began to murder the settlers In their
farm houses, perpetrating many brutal
lties upon women and children, and re
viving all tbe horrors of frontier war.
Some COO or 700 persous were slain, and
as many as 25,000 white people fled for
their lives at a loss of property estiraat
ed at several millions. The revolt was
promptly subdued, aud at Mankato
few months later sonic thirty or forty
were brought to the scaffold ringlead

Many of these same women deem it

put themselves into gowns of very heavy

While dressmakers and their moat val

problems gowns of this sort present, the
finest array of wraps thnt have been ofer

waiting. It would take an oldest Inhabit

Is the broadcloth cape mantel, which is es

wrap as soon as therp is a hint of cold

warmth, yet drapes the figure. All msn
tles and cloaks, for whatever purpose,
show the draped shoulders and shawl

coming. A flounce sloping off the shoul
ders and dipping to a point at the hem,
front and back, lends character to en oth

flounces are round that is. have the ef
fect of being rut out of tbe whol piece
and shaped to their tine. In broadcloth,
stitched, and In a dirk color or one of tha
conventional drab tones, such a cloak is
suitable for the simplest use; while the
same model carried out In beautiful ma

quite richt for elegant occasion.
