Cotillon favors that may truly lay

tholr own Inventiveness and that of
their frli.ti (In or the professional de
signer In the effort to secure clever
conceits aa souvenirs for the cotillon
which Is row, as it has been for some
tlmo past, the favorite dance of society.
Flowers have ever served as em
blem for the dalntlost and most ac
ceptable of favors and this reason
witnesses no exception to this fancy,
Tlio rose, queen of blosaomi In nat
uru'H garden, has sorved as Inspira
tion for some exceptionally pretty
conceits which lent a decorotlvo touch
at many a fashionable dnnce this win
tor mid performed further servlco ns
an attractive romumberance of the
occasion.
It is not the Intrinsic valuo of the
cotillon favor that counts with the
dancer as Its simplicity, its daintiness
an.l artistic charm. Crepe paper has
BP-ved as the medium for the most
ju. ccRsful and clever trifles ever fash
ioned for the cotillon.
The parasol made of crepo paper
n the faintest of shell pink tones is
frilled with simulated rose petal
nd realistic imitations of the pop
ular La France blossom are scatter
ed over the rose hued surface. A
knot of pink on the handle presents
an oftYctlvo contrast to the natural
buo of tho wood.
Sachets and Perfumes.
For the housewife who likes the
scent of lavender leaves in her linen
plosets the cushions of Japanese crepe
paper with Oriental decorations are
useful and decorative. These cush
ions are six or eight Inches square.
Sandal wood sticks an Inch square
ind five Inches long are useful for
laying among the curtains and drap
eries when they ard put away In the
spring, and the fragrance will remain
long after the hangings are unpacked
a the autumn.
Oriental perfumes, though consider
id oppressively sweet by some folks,
ire greatly In favor with many others,
ind there are combinations of Ori
ental scents that are new and exceed
ingly agreeable.
, It is predicted that carnation will be
one of the scents particularly ap
proved by fashion in the coming soa
on, and combined with violet I J espe
cially good for sachet powder. Of
lourse, violet, with a blending of or
is root, and violet and heliotrope in
Combination are always In favor.
A Irftynmn's Imprecision.
"Father," said the small boy,
"what Is a scientist?"
"A' scientist, my son, Is a man
who can tell you things you already
know In such unfamiliar language
that you regard It as something
brand new."
Catarrh Cannot be Cured
with local applications, as they
cannot reach the seat of the dis
ease. Catarrh is a blood or consti
tutional disease, and in order to
cure it you must take internal rem
edies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is tak
en internally, and acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack
medicine. It was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this
country for years and is a regular
prescription. It is composed of the
best tonics known, combined with
the blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The per
fect combination of the two ingre
dients is what produces such won
derful results in curing Catarrh,

the dlBtancu between Sandy Hook
lli;ht house and Daunt'H Hock In five
'ays and five minutes, traversing
what Is known as the long route, or
uliout i!,I32 knots. The host pre
vious record foi tho eastward voyage
made by the same vessel, was beat
en by two and one-half hours.
It la within the rccoll'-ctlon of
men yet young, that 12 days was.
co-ist.lered a remarkable record for
the voyage from New York to
Queenstown, and a prediction that
a steamship would muko the trip In
approximately five days, would have
been considered preposterous. The
500-foot boat was, at the time of Its
advent considered practically the
limit, observes the Rochester Demo
crat and Chronicle. It reduced the
time of the voyage nearly to one-half
of t'nut occupied by the earlier steam
ships, which were approximately
only one-half the slzo. The Intro
duction of steel construction was
doubtless the most Important ad
vance In the art of ocean-going vessel
construction, and ushered In a new
oru. The enormous Increase in
ocean travel also stimulate.! competi
tion, and the evolution from the old
style packet, with Its auxiliary sail
power, to the grent modern flyer. Is
the production of the fast expresa
steamers.
The lntroauctlon of the modern
steam turbine has been t potent fac
tor 'n tho increase In speed and tho
advent of the five-day boat. While
tho economical 'eatures of the steam
turbine have not boen fully worked
out, and Its comparative commercial
v.lue settled, It Is In present favor,
Its efficiency In enabling high speeds,
vlth largo vessels, having been ap
parently established.
In view of the accomplishment by
the Mauretanla, marine constructors
are now confidently predicting the ad- i
Tent of a four day ocean lerry. Ar
rangements have already been made
for the construction of two turbine
driven express steamers, each 1,000
feet long, and it Is considered not
unlikely that within the next three
oj four ytcra a New Yorke'' can voy
age to London, tr: usact a day's hus
tings, and return home again within
the time occuplcf. but a lew years

Strong Room Perils.
Before now people have been shut
in strong roomb and had narrow es
capes. On one occ.-.tlon a lock
smith was repairing an Interior safe
in the strong room of a New York
bank, when tho cashier closed the
vault door. At it was worked by a
time lock it meant that the door
would remain closed until the fol
lowing morning. Fortunately, the
man knew the secrets of the strong
hold, and by opening a manhole was
able to obtain a sufficient supply of
atr. He then made a pillow of a
bag of lollar bills and composed
himself to sleep until the door was
opened next morning.

Cruel (looking Kxam.
Borne men who hod boasted rash
ly that, theiy kn!w how to cook wto
beguiled by their wives to attend an
evening reunion.
No sooner had theo wily women
assembled their braggart husbands
than they produced a list of ques
tions and demanded answers there
to. The questions were:
How lonn dons It take to boil: (1)
Potatoes! (J) Asparagus? (8)
Reets? (4) Corn? (5) Cauliflower!
(6) Cabbage? (7) Celery? (8)
CarroU? (9) Lima beans? (10)
Onions? (11) Pcaa? (IS) Parsnips?
(13) Spinach? (14) Bummer
squash? (15) Turnips? (18) To
matoes? When tho men had wrontled with
these conundrums until they had al
most roachod the boiling point them
selves they were presentod with oth
er rllps of paper, ono to each man.
In these the unhappy husbands wera
commanded to perform as follows:
Droll oysters; cream oysters; cook
bacon; make potato salad; cut
bread; slleo ham; make coffee; get
out dishes; sot tnblo; help set tahln;
wfilt on table; clear table; wash
dishes; wipe dishes.
Three chafing dlrshes were brought
out and the lnprodlents for the sup
per placed on a larpo kitchen tnblo.
Then the men were set to work, says
W'.at to Eat, and given one-half
ho it in which to prepare the supper.
It was a terrible thirty minutes, for
the women unfeelingly remained In
the parlor and imitated Nero, by
playing tho piano whllo things
burned.

Superstitions in Little Italy are
many and remarkable. Tony la a
bootblack a Neapolitan who has
tho run of a certain lan;o o(3ce
building down town and who Is much
potted by patrons of both eox3,
many of whom are regulur casto
mers. The other morning ns he deftly
whisked his polishing cloth across
the toes of a feminine patron Tony
held forth us follows:
"My modder great woman. She
always have wonderful dreams.
Last night meedls of tho night
maybe twale, maybe two o'clock, she
dream she whlppa my two ill sisters
what you call 'em, tweens? You

"Hut, Tony," cried the unauper
stitlous listener, "how dreadfully
uncomfortable for your little sis
ters!" "Dasso," acquiesced the boy with
n grin. "Cut I can't help. S'poso she
might have dreamed of me?"
Almost All.
"None of these will do." said the
shopper, who was looking for half
hoso for her husband.
"I'm sorry, ma'am," replied the
weary salesman.
"Wtll," said she, peering over the
counter, "are you suro I've seen all
you hnvo in there?"
"All except tho pair I hr.ve on,
