Lassitude and lose of appetite are onions firs' evidences of tho effect of the sun' heat upon the body, nuJ in hot weather many persons who never have had Bucetroko oro ilcbilitat ed by whnt might fairly be called tun fatigue, which although not serious, render? work of every kind ranch more labor ious than it would otherwise lea. The influence of the sun vrie9 enormously on diflerent individuals, some of whom have to take special precautions in order to be able to resist it. A spinal pad is used by soldiers in many tropical countries. It arrests the light, which often works such injury, but it is uncomfortably hot, and soon becomes objectionable from its absorp tion of perspiration. According to ft royal engineer, who is stationed in India, the boon and blessing beyond compare to those who have to spend part of their lives under a tropical sunlight is an ornnge-colored shirt. Ho declared thut he frequently fell sick after duty in the sun until he treated himself as a photographie censitive plate and surrounded his body with yellow light. AU clothing, however thick, allow certain rays to pass, and although thick clothing wou'd arrest all the injurious elements of sunlight, it would interfere with the escape of bodily heat. Tho yellow shirt, for sensitive pcoplo who ore much in hot sunlight, is an excellent protection, only inferior to that simplest and best of all Indian protective-, a white umbrella, which has not yet been widely used in this coun try.

Sir William Flow er, having examined numbers of these, has in every case found them to be genuiuo feathers. London Chronicle. FOB WOMEN PAST THEIR YOUTH. It is now a generally admitted fact that women who havo passod their youth can appropriately and becom ingly wear white on dressy occasions. Black whs lon -and mistakenly be lieved to be the only reilly suitable wear for women past forty, but this error bos been removed. Dull-black gowns deepen the lines of the faces, and darken the complexions of those who are not absolutely fair ; indeed, mourning attire is frequently found most unbecoming to blondes, and al though wholly white gowns are not al ways suitable, a relief in white is gen erally possible, und subdued colors should bo chosen in place of black. The Duchess of Devonshire, though a grandmother of long staadina, is par ticularly fond of white gowns of tnauy aitlereut kinds, and an American lady who recently saw her at a fashionable gathering in London writes that she looked extremely well in a gown of cream-white silk canvas over orchid colored taffeta silk. She carried a parasol of white crepe de Chine lined with the same silk, and the small white bonnet ou her head was fastened with narrow velvet ribbon and trimmed with pansies aud one bcautilul orchid. New York Post. TROUS3EAT7 OF A PRISCE3S, Among Princess Maud's wedding presents is a tea jacket made for her by the members of the dressmaking class at the People's Palace. It is of pure white satin ot tho Louis XV. period, with tight-tittiug tailor-made back and vest set in by revers of silver and white brocade. The poll elbow sleeves are finished by a turned-back cuff of the brocade, and rutlles of em broidered white chiffon match the frill at the neok. The whole trousseau is marked by the exquisite tttsta aud elegant sim plicity for which the bride's mother, the Princess of Wales, is eminently distinguished in the matter of her own and her daughters' clothes. A point noted iu the description of the millinery of the wardrobe is that iu seven hats described six have quills among their trimmings. There are a black straw with black quills, cream lace and black ratin ribbon ; a white straw with hice,uhite sutiu ribbon, and white quills ; auothcrFaney black straw with pink roses, black roes, choux of black tulle, and black quills', a totjie of peacock blue velvet bordered with ltussian sable, and at one side a bunch of quills shaded to repeat the tones of the velvet and sable ; a Tarn 6' Shunter of tatf leather with, black velvet and natural owls' quilln, aud a toque of brown straw trimmed with rosettes of brown tulle and old piuk velvet roses and the inevitable, this time brown, quills. Evidently quills are popular with English royalty. New York 1'imeE.

Crepe de chino is to be worn not only by "buds" but by women of all ages. Very fine handkerchiefs, boasting no embroidery save an initial and with the narrowest hemstitched edge, are considered more correct than elaborate desigus. Cashmere comes back again with a flourish of trumpets. .It is woven wilh a silk woof, and is exquisitely soft and shimmering. It will be used exten sively for iudoor gowns. Cravenette grows in favor for cycling and utility costumes geuerally. It is waterproof aud at the came time devoid of the nnpleassut rubber odor of most waterproof fabrics. Silk dresses are trimmed with alter nate rutlles of chiffon aud the silk. This is very pretty in plain silk, and when the skirt is made this way, the bodice is covered with chiffon and lace. Now, when so many girls at the sea shore are bewailing the fact that thoir ostrich feathers are straight, it is of value to know that whalebone will curl them more successfully than scissors. A new material, which has the shimmering effect most sought for at present, ih moire velours. Uoffered oriental satin, crinkled silks and silk crepes, all of them soft and "drapery like, are to be extensively worn. Green, bottle green, hunter's green and even olive green is to be one of the two favorite colors this year. It shares the honors with plum color, which is an evolution from the emi nence and magenta of past years. The wide godet skirt is fast disap pearing, especially for out-door wear, to make way for the becoming jupe gathered or plaited from the hips to the back, but the priuoipal change for tho better is that all skirts are out of a more moderate width. White and cream laces and trim1 miugs are used in the greatest profu sion. There is one advantage in the employment of these garnitures. One can wear almost any sha le or color if it is plentifully decorated with either white or creaai-colorea thiu fabrics. especially laoe and chiffon. A Girl Snake Killer. Miss Mabel Buttz, the sixteen-year- old daughter ol Uhristian lsultz, a farmer living near Belvidere, N. J. has distinguished herself as a cham pion snake kiber. Uer father's farm is infested with snakes, and last sum mer her little brother was bitten by a copperhead pilot and almost died. On Sunday Mabel was out near the barn and opened tho door leading in to tho threshing floor. She was horri fied for a moment at seeing a number of Bnakes lying fiat ou the Hour, evi dently asleep. The creaking oi tho door arouau.l them, and one of them prepared to strike her. Qubk as a Hash she closed the door aud secured a long pole. Returning, she made war on the reptiles, and soon had a half dozen slain. One bolder than the rest flew at her, and had it not been for her dog, a big mastiff, it would no doubt have sunk its tangs in her. The dog caught the snake iu his jaws and crushed the life out of it. Miss Buttz was so overcome that she fainted and was carried to the house. Tho snakes were examined aud were found to belong to the deadly copper head family. Trenton (X. J.) Ameri ecu.

This protects the floor and allows easy movomont. Thoso floors require only tho sweep ing with a hair brush and tho wiping wilh a dust mop or soft cloth.

If it bo desired to keep tho floor very light the oil mixture should not be used, for oil always darkens wood. Water is tho worst thing that can bo appliod to any waxed surfaco.

It is to bo borne in mind always in considering this question that the moral eflectof tho derailing Bwitoh is such that it compels obedience to the warning of tho danger signals as no rules or discipline that the best man ager can enforce can possibly do. Tho engineer knows that tho normal posi tion of the Bigunls is at danger, and when bo approaches them and sees them against him ho too often thinks that it means nothing moro than that the tower operator has been a little dilatory in throwing his levers. But if he realize that to run past a danger signal menns absolutely aud invariably that his train is going off the railR, ho has a mnch more powerful motive to iuduoo him to keep bis train under control as ho approaches such signals. -ingiucoring Mews.
