'S Clock Tarn Out the Lights.
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.

"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.

"Egg races" also divert the guests.
This consists of guiding the wheel
with one baud and balancing an egg in
a spoon in the other as one rides.
"Plank races are also in lavor, ana

Earning Money at College.
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'

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
