Concessions might be made to the de mnnds of suppleness and grace, and tho tendency toward more classical garments might suggest a kind of cor set reform. - What had scared the great dress makers? Paris business was at last being threatened by fashionable peo ple! Queen Alexandra of England, influenced by the movement in Srniv dinavlan countries, has joined hands with the London Times In favor of the creation of a corsetless "nation' nl English style" for women. In Italy Queen Helene and Dowager Queen Marguerite have formed a committee of eminent Italian artists with tho fashionable Boldlnl at its head. It is to these fashionable movements solely that the new Parisian "grace corsets" owe their origin. Outline drawings of "grace corsets" are given herewith, in three types, That for stout heavily developed worn' en (No. 1) Is a mere compromise, Nevertheless, It is cut so low in the bust as to seem reckless but for the tightly adjusted corset cover of strong silk, which is really a "corset for a "Br nfw Cwr fTiprts 1 WITH ONLY TW BONES' AND A "MXIBII -J3WC"U NEAR TOTA.WOtMQiS' rnmei " n la sfild that the bones of thla rnrupt have been nut In their places by an eminent physiologist, and as they carry no patent uiey doubtless will be generally tried; but, In Paris, even stout women are recom mended to risk the second model, also designed "for very plump ladies witn heavy hips. This true grace corset (No. 2) is lnw In th hnct nnd so hleh in the hips behind, as to be scarcely more than a corset belt. A "ngarcr bus taina tha hnst Thla corset has very few bones, placed far apart. It ex tends ratner low over me uuu.uiut.-u. but Is cut awav from the hips so Ulgn as to afford any undulating grace you may ask for. Tha mnaf ramn rknliln model (No. 3) Is that adopted by the earnest glrlB of our French garden, waae oi ver tout Inmnv tissue, with a single bone on each side nnd a flexible steel "busc" in front, It permits movements that fira cracAB nwn Ideal. This is the all-but-boneless corset that has caught on In Paris. Knitting Cures Nervousness. Knthinor ennthea the nerves nnd em ploys the mind pleasantly, yet not fatiguingly, like needlework, u iukcs people from the restless habit of In trospection and worry and acts as an anodyne on tired nerves, our roomers appreciated this occupation rightly when they made their daughters do dainty needlework every day, prefer ably for others Notes and Comment Oflitcrcst ta Vomsn Rsadcrj AERO CLUB FOR WOMEN. It Exists In Franco, Where Women are Ardent Balloonlsts. French women are not particularly keen in the matter of athletics, but If a sport presents a real element of dan ger their delight knows no hounds. Thus ballooning threatens to become a fad with the members of the wealth ier classes, and the number of women holding certificates showing that t'.oy are able to navlgato n balloon is vory large. There is already un Aero CI for Indies, somo of whom hnvo achieved record ascents. Mine. Surcouf was the first woman who received a certi ficate, and she celebrated the event by Btartlng on an anrlftl trip with Mile. Cache. Tho two ladles were the only occupants of the enr and landed s:fe- Another famous member of the Aero Club, says the Gentlewoman, Ib Mme. llurette. Accompanied by M. and Mme. Pacb.elard, sho went from Havre to Cabonrg, across the Chan nel. Some French sportswomen In their craze after excitement blossom Into modern Atalantau. Mme. ilu Oast Is one of them, and her perilous performance In the Paris-Toulon mo tor boat race Is still in everybody's memory. Then there Is Mme. Lavenslee, a splendid shot, who Is seeking a com panion to go tiger shooting. I'nfortu nately, the companion Is not easy to find. Her husband died long ago, and her relatives and friends are all men of neace, and therefore not anxloua to travel a few thousand miles to risk their lives In the Jungle. The "Bang" Is Here. Although much protest was made last Winter about the reappearance of the "bang" cross the forehead, It seems to be rather firmly Intrenched now. The majority of women will wear it this winter. In large measure it will be becoming. It will compel wom en to lift from their foreheads that low-hanging mass of hair, now the fashion, and substitute It with a tiny, wavy fringe. It is absurd to cut the hair to make this bang. One can buy it by the piece in any hair shop and attach It under one's own hair by an invisible hair pin. One should bo extra careful not to get it thick or straight. The poodle bang, once so fashiona ble In the eighties of the nineteenth ee-tury, also promises to return. It has already done so In Paris, but there It, like the wavy fringe, only accom panies the flattened pompadour. Both of these have been introduced to give softness to a forehead from which the hair has been lifted, and also to give a showing of hair under the hat. They should never be worn with the hair severely parted In front. DUST COVER THAT IS USEFUL. Affords Protection for Nice Garments Hung In Cupboard. Dust cover for the nice silk dress, best coat or other nice garment Ma terial required, 2 1-2 yards or more If desired longer, of sllkalino, or other prettily figured thin material, and rib bon to bind or silk to featherstitch. Double the goods and bind with rib bon or lap the selvages and feather stitch. Round off the top and seam up, leaving small hole for coat hanger handle to go through. Leave the bot tom open and hem. The garment which is on a hanger, slips up through the open end and the hook of the hanger goes through the small hole and hangs the whole up complete and protected from all dirt. Butterfly Bow on Hat. One of the artistic oddities In milli nery and an oddity that i pretty should be chronicled is the butterfly bow perched In front, at top of crown. These are made of ribbon, of rainbow gauze and of Jet. They are used on a hat that is plainly trimmed with a wrapped Bear'band. NESTS THAT WEIGH TONS. Those of the Australian Jungle Fot Are Often 15 Feet In Height. In Australia are to be found the largest, heaviest and most ecu'.lar Bests In the world. These are the nests of the Jnngiu fowl, so-called, and are built In the form of great mounds, the averaiu measurement In height being 15 feel and the circumference 150 feet. The nests are ercted In secluded shelter spots and, as In the case of the small nests of birds, they are skilfully In terwoven with leaves, grass and twigs and such other suitable material hi the fowl may be able to procure. A similar system Is followed by the bush turkey, wIiorc homo Is, however, more comprehensive In design. Ha shape Is pyramidal. It has been as serted by Australian naturalists that tho nests of the bush turkeys, which llvf In colonics, are so large that to move them requires the services of six or seven men. Tho material of a single nest has been found to weigh upward of five tons. To Install a Motor In a Small Boat. By Morris Rader. Small marine engines can be bought so reasonably now, that many ownors of small craft, skiffs and canoes would install an engine were It not for the tro.ible and expense of putting on a kag and shaft hiz. An easy way to Shaft Bearing for a Small Boat, overcome this dllllculty Is shown In the diagram. It has been tried by the writer, and is n success. A Bhaft bearing is made of Iron, In the form of a Y, and fastened to the stern of the boat to support the shaft. A longer piece Is fastened to this and to the bottom of the boat to protect the propeller. A projection of this in tho rear will carry the rudder. A small shaft log Is fitted Inside the boat, with the fctufntig box on the in side without removing the boat from the water. Mistaken Ideas About Mushroom. Mushroom time Is here. A visit to the pastures and meadows will make this fact clear, and adds to the In tel est of an article In "Suburban Life" describing the wild mushrooms. Among other things the nuthor of this article says: "There are some specl cle that cannot easily be mistaken, but the old tests for proving poison ous fungi are not worthy of consider ation. Such arc: 'If n mushroom ex udes milk or changes ci'or when broken It Is dangerous.' 'Look out for a mushroom whose cap will not peel readily.' 'A poisonous mushroom will turn sliver black.' It Is almost impossible to peel the caps of many of the edible species, while the dead ly Amanita, the most poisonous mush room of nil, peels very easily. Many of the most delicious species not only exude milk but Instantly change color when broken, while many of those that are harmful do neither, and even a raw potato will discolor silver." Descendants of David. The history of the Sassoons is one of the most dramatic in the very dra matic story of the Hebrew race. The original Sassoon was a Bombay mer chant, but the family is descended from a group known ns lun Shoshan, wh i at one time held the position of Nossl of Toledo. The name Shoshan. which signifies "lily" In Hebrew, was gradually transformed Into Sassoon, signifying "gladness." The family claim Davldlc descent, and Abraham Sassoon, who flourished In the seven teenth century, stated that he was a direct descendant of Shephatiah, the fifth son of David. Not only are there many references to the name In He brew medieval literature, but mention of it is made in the Talmud. A Real Old-Timer. Chief Spencer, aged 110 years, a Klickitat, recently died on the reser vation at Fort Simcoe. In 1813 be saw whites come to the coast across country as settlers. In 18"i6 he was a guide and scout for Colonel Wright and Major Raines. He had always been faithful to the whites, In spite of the fact that volunteers, in 850, killed every member of his family, which was going down to the Columbia River near the Cascades, in canoes. Children of Chief Spencer's second family are Wllber and Lancaster Spencer, of Toppentsh, prominent business men of that town. Seattle Post-Intelligencer. The Dog's Bark. Those who have especially investi gated the subject tell us that, as a general thing, the wild or undomestl cated dog never barks In the real sense of that word. Between the wild dog's growl and the explosive bark of the domesticated animal there la a marked difference, a difference that Is wholly due to the companionship of man. In a word, the bark is tbe dog's attempt at imitating human speech, the way he has of "speaking" in af fection to his master or friend In angor to bis enemy. Floating Theatre. An enterprlBlug citizen of Berlin, uan ed De Hondt, is bnvlng a floating theatre constructed in Holland, which he intends to use on the Rhine. A seating capacity of 2.5C0 Is to be pro vided, and one of the chief attractions planned for this flouting bouse of amusement Is tbe engagement of an Italian opera company. It la proposed to tow tha novel theatre from town to town. ?a;?Jiw?''i y ix. In WHETHER YOU WRITE 50 cr 50,000 business letters a year, it pays :i pays wellto use a high-grade paper.

COLUMBIAN PRINTING HOUSE, Bloomsburg, Pa. Valuable Game Cock. Time was when cock fighting was a popular and legitimate sport, and tho raising of game birds was some thing of an industry. Apart from his prowess, however, the game cock Is a line style of bird, combining delicacy of line with strength and symmetry. He is a fine exhibition of beauty and power. Even in a time when his war ring days are practically over, the mo lern game cock is a feathered per Bo:'.age of importanco when reduced to mere peaceful show. Here is an English bird which is valued at $3,' 000. It recently took first and special prizes at a hit; exhibition. Card Signs For Sale.

A serious maritime accident oc curred Sunday morning in the In dian Ocean when the mail steamer La Seyne collided with the steamer Onda. So quickly did La Seyne go down that nearly one hundred of her passengers went with her. Sixty-one persons were rescued, and many of these were bitten by sharks while clinging to wreckage. The Lackawanna County Com missioners have instructed assessors throughout the county to assess all property at its full value rather than at half value, as has been the custom. In this way the assessed valuation of the county will be in creased to nearly $150,000,000. . We notice a case of a man near Butler, Pennsylvania, who confes sed and repaid several men from whom he had stolen, after he had been couvertedat a gospel meeting. This would seem to be an actual working of the principle that the Lord helps him who helps himself. C S rn Cry FOR FLETCHER'S 111 Trolley Time Tables.
