In these days of electricity it is not t essential to have somebody turn out the lights. Time switches are made, says the New York Sun, which can be attached to a clock and made to turn out electric lights at any desired hour, Suppose, for instance, the lights are in a show window, and it is desired to put them out at midnight. At that hour tho clock closes a circuit, per mitting the passing of an electric cur rent to the switch, which thus released, cuts off tho electrio light current and so puts out the lights.

The girl of the season will tie a rope of silk roses about her throat after sun set, according to Dame Fashion; bnt she will have no more of them on her new hat, declares a New York fashion writer. Thnt must be loaded with feathers, and preferably plumes, though the white doves' wings are still in vogue. An importation for earliest fall wear is a cream-white sailor hat of the finest felt, as 'soft as velvet. Its crown is made in Tarn O'Shanter fashion, and on tho left side is a big cluster of white wings ami quills, caught bv a knot of black velvet which passes through a large buckle of Bparkliug cat steel. The new girl promises to be picturesque. "Gymkhana" Contest If anybody predicted that the women of this country would take an active interest and part in anything of such an absurd name, that person would have been laughed to scorn. It is "awfully English" to give a "gymkhana" contest, so that means that it will gain in this conutry. And a "gymkhana, "according to newspaper accounts, means a conglomeration of outdoor sports to be indulged in by women as well as men.

Their qost, compared to that of to-day, reveals what has been accomplished in cheap ening these products during the past fifty-six years. In 1841 a qnort of turtle soup in tin put np by Colin cost $3.75; a small box of sardines, $1.25; an entire truffled salmon, $15; a beef tongue, $2; a Toulouse duck, truffled, $9. Vegetables were proportionally dear. Colin evidently carried his system much further than is attempted at the present day. He sold in tin an entire sucking pig, for which he charcrod $12.50; an entire turkey for $7.50: six pounds of roast lamb for $4.25. and an entire pheasant for $12.50. He also preserved butter in tin. for which he asked 7j cents a pound. The printing press which Voltaire set up iu Fcruoy to demolish Chris tianity is now used to print Bibles in Geneva.

Girls are learning to work their way through college just like men, making sacnlices aud excrcibing the strictest economy iu order to meet the neces sary college expenses. This article is not meant for the fuMiioimule set whioh had its representatives in every college, but for the great middle class of girls who, when they enter tho little college world, tiud that there are mony things they want, but they don t like to atk their fathers to pay for them Many a girl who would live right her in Liouibiaua to attend the 11. hophie Newcomb Meiuoriul College and f ullill the desire of hor young life by a thor ougli education, might proht by th maunur iu which sume of the girls at Northern coll-.'"3 vc'.-'-i th.-ir way through. Some of the wnvs iu which these rjirla earn or save aiout-y is quite in teresting. A college girl out East eoucelvcd the happy idea of shampoo ing the hcudii of her fellow students at a less price tliiin was charged by the professionals iu the town. Now girls who go in for athletics and bath? a good deul feel a desire fur the shampoo of the head quite ofteuer than is really necessary, and it is something they caunot do themselves, especially if they have abundant heads of hair. So this girl had all she could do iu her leisure time, und as she mude li el clients furnish their own soup aud towels, it was all eleur gain. A funny idea, yet eminently practi cal, was that of a college girl who stretched new shoes for her well-to-do sisters. She must have hud a foot that would tit anything, but she did her work along this hue successbilly and mud j money. College girls us a rule hute to do their own mending, and as their cloth ing is nut inspected by a lynx-eyed matron, as wus formerly the custom iu the averugo feniule seminary, they are often untidy in this respect. A stu dent handy with her needle and de sirous of such work was overwhelmed with mending of all kinds. Iu fact. she might have spent ull her time in repuiring. ller charges were model' ute, but bhe luurio a good thing out of it. Giils in the upjer classes uroyell Fnnhlou Note. Jackets are trimmed on the edge and np the seams. Braided vests in white, green and tan cloth, as well as bril liant scarlet, will be worn. Odd effects, combining features of a faucy short-skirted jacket bodice nud slashed bolero, appear upon the newest gowns for autumn wear. The overskirt continues to put in claims for favor this season, aud models poiuted in effect and quite as long as the underskirt before they are draped appear among approved fashions for the fall and winter. While princesse dresses do not seem to come iuto general use, there are al ways orders for them from many of the very best dressed women. No dress is as becoming to a fine figure as one cut iu princesse shape, especially at the sides and back. There is a style and finish about such, costumes that is rarely obtained by auy other model. Gold and pearl galloon are fashiona ble and fine beadwork of all kinds is a favorite decoration. The choicest jet and the most exquisite fancy beads are lavishly used on all dressy wear. There is promise of a revival of all of the old time beads from cut jet to the wooden ones that were for a time popular, but which went out of sight as quickly as they came into fuvor. A princesse dress of velvet is a most attractive model. The body and skirt are eimiely without trimming, save that there is a w ide box plait of the velvet from the waist line to the hem of the skirt in front. This also ex tends up the front of the waist to the square neck aud is fastened with' gold buttons. The neck is tilled in with rich lace in shirrings and from the shoulder seam to the top of the plait at one side ia a jabot of lace. The sleeves are full at the tops aud close fitting below, with frills of lace at the wrists. - A very elegant dress is made of vet vet aud crepe do chine. The front is of crepe shirred so us to form points 111 the middle of the iront hreautn The sections next to the front breadth are of velvet aud are embroidered in a natteru simulating a deep basque. The nieces uext to the back are of crepe, aud are covered with drapery aud fes toons of the material. The back is of velvet aud is embroidered like the side pieces. From these embroidered sections bunds of needlework are ex tended so as to cover the crepe and make the busriue bliirt appear like a continuous pattern. The prettiest gowns are usually the simple ones with some individuality of stvle. which are the result of sugges tions offered by the French model rather than the actual copies. Among the various dewigns there are the triple skirt, or, rather, triple ellect, aud the draped bkirt, w hieh is not very unlike the style of some yeura ago, wheu vards of some soft fubrio were plaited up on the hips to fall iu graceful folds below, khowmg a trimmed or coutrust ing undersKirt. To be sure, drapery is tho exception us yet, more in evi dence ou models thau iu actual wear; but it is predicted, and thu'fashiou for soft, cliiiiimr luuteriuls is iu itself a harbinger of ilrupery. 'Why Mike Stopped Drinking. Hike Bryan Is now a highly respected and well-to-do farmer in a Western community, but he has not always been so highly re spected or so well-to-do. Iu times past Mike, as he Is familiarly called, spent his spare money In the saloons. The story of his reformation Is given in the words of an old neighbor and friond: "Yes, Mike drank a good deal in them days, and treated' more than he drank. When old Judge Henry came back from the legislator, we made up a purse and bought him a handsome gold watch to show htm our 'preciatlon. That night. In the saloon, one of the boys said that Mike ought to nave a new gold watcu, too; for If he Hadn't goneto the legislator he had raised the first sack of oats In the county, and raising oats for folks to eat was much better than making laws for them to quarrel over. "men somebody said that he would suD- seribe ten dollars. Miko was that pleased that he called all the boys up for a drink, and threw down a twenty: , .Some one else subscribed another ten. and Mike treated again, throwing down an- other twenty. He had Just sold Ills crop and bad nothing nut twenties in Dls pocket. Of course he never got a cent of change back, nor wanted any, be was feeling so pleased. "Well, they kept on subscribing, and Mike kept on treating, nntll bn bad spent ovor tnree Hundred dollars, rue Doys went and . woke the Jeweler up that very night and bought the watoh. Mike went to bed as proud as a peacock. "nut tno next morning, whoa no eamo to take a good look at bis watch, be found that It was only an old brass thing, worth about two dollars and a half. Mike walked straight out to the river-bank and threw it luto tho water. Sluce then he has nover been inside a saloon. It was the luckiest three hundred he ever spent." Water Drinking. Apropos of water drinking a medical writer says that the average person should drink from two to four quarts of water each day. The system requires to be cleansed and its organs flooded with wutor.
