He was turned over to the local police, who identified him as Charles Miller. BOOK REST FOR THE TABLE Uieful to Prop Up Newspaper and Make Its Reading Bomewhat More Comfortable. The propping up of a newspaper or book at breakfast time, with the hot water Jug or some other article, la a very common habit but a rather un satisfactory one, as it Is a difficult matter to secure the book or paper In posltoln, and often It slips down, or possibly, the article'which is acting as support may be required, and this means an interruption which is not al ways agreeable, especially so when the time for reading is perhaps very limited. For making the simple table book rest shown In the accompanying sketch, no knowledge of carpentry Is necessary, as It merely consists of three pieces of wood Joined togeth er with nails or screws and a loop of elastic fastened across the front un der which the book or paper may be slipped and held In Its place. About twelve Inches in length and nine or ten Inches In height, Is a good size la which to carry it out, and this should be the measurement of the front piece of wood, and the side pieces must, of course, be cut to correspond. When the woodwork hat; been con structed it is an easy mattor to cover it with silk or cretonne or any rem nant of material that may be handy, which should be stretched evenly across and fastened on at the back with tiny tacks or some strong ad hesive. FORECAST THE WINTER HAT From the Outlook the Designs Are to Be Less Simple Than Those of the Present. As the days get shorter, they get more and more sultry, In the absence of any clear sunshine, but the fall hat pursues its relentless course to wards a winter Ideal, writes a Paris correspondent. You really require courage to put youf head out of doors in a smart French watering place, with a straw hat pinned to your hair. The French milliner utterly taboos even a Panama, and white felt, dark plush and such like cosy materials are forced upon her unwilling clients. But as the season advances, the hat prows less and less simple. One seen at the riding trials at Dinard this week was a round and close-fitting hat, in a kind of white panne, that was irregu lar enough in surface to take all man ner of lights upon it. This had for trimming the plumage of two birds of Paradise in the gorgeous natural coppery tint that we seldom see. As you may imagine, it was costly enough to be suitable at the smartest func tions, and will probably be seen at Aix-les-Balns. pghiorfo Fgqcigg Soft faille silk and silk and wool ecliennes are returning to fashion. Extremely smart little frocks for children are trimmed with stitch. A tendency toward the ohl-fauhioned square cut, low necked gown is no ticeable in many of the models. For the seaside the ratine Jacket is fashionable and serviceable. The reefers with white collar and cuffs are as popular as ever. The Russian effect in blouses is quite new and becoming, and may be made in allover embroidery, com bined with fllet lace. Soft rose, palest blue, and delicate lilacs are favorite blendings in pan nier frocks. With white costumes, white boots or white pumps are worn, although the novelty pumps in combination of black and white are good. Dainty scarfs are an absolute ne cessity. They are of changeable chif fon cloth in rainbow tones, and are two and a half yards long and a yard wide. How to Be Graceful. If you want to be graceful, don't look at your feet, but hold your head up in the air. Don't shuffle. A little thoughtfulness and practice In high stepping soon breaks you of this ugly habit. Don't bend your back at the waist under the impression that you are thereby working erect. It throws the stomach forward and is almost aa Inimical to grace as round shoulders. Finally, don't allow yourself to walk "pigeon-toed"—that is, with the tpes turned In or straight You can nfi'ver be graoeful in movements while you do. Bmart Coat and Bklrt. Even in plain coats and skirts there is a fancy for certain forms of trim ming, or the introduction of another fabrlo of contrasting color to obtain the requisite variations. One very oharmlng coat and skirt was composed of the fashionable lemon shade of crash linen, with revers of black and white galatea, which form a pointed oape collar at the back.

"Did you ever know that the bull frog was carnivorous, or, in other ■words, a cannibal?" said Nick Gilbert, one of the operators at the electrical bureau. "I never did until several years ago, when It was demonstrated almost before my very eyes. I have been interested in fish culture for years and have made a study of their habits. So that I could study them at closer range, I built a big aquarium in my yard, one that held 650 gallons, and along with a fine collection of fish I stocked It with seven flue big bull frogs. "The sparrows used to drink water from the edge of the aquarium and this day, while my wife was looking on, one of the frogs leaped up, caught the sparrow and took it beneath the water. I could hardly believe that a frog would attack and vanquish such a fighter as the English sparrow Is known to be, so in the interest of sci ence I emptied the aquarium, and sure enough, down in the bottom waa the sparrow. The frog had taken him down below, but either could not swal low him or else did not have the time. Following that 1 began to miss some valuable Japanese fantails, and, after removing all the frogs but one, waited until I missed another fish, when I killed Mr. Frog and found that he was the robber. Before that I believed the fish had been stolen by cats. The bull frog is aggressive and can take his own part any time." Subscribe for the News Item.

Robert Henri, the noted artist, was talking at a dinner in New York about the over-finished and banal work of painters of the Bouguereau type. "Lelghton, the English Rcugureau, met Whistler," said Mr. Henri, "one day In Piccadilly. The two men sauntered through the Durlington Ar cade talking art. "But my dear Whistler,' said Leigh ton, 'you leavo your work so rough, so Bkotchy! Vv dear Whistler, why do you never finish?" "Whistler screwed his glass into his eye and gave a fiendish laugh.

Ex-Governor Pennypacker, discus sing the divorce evil in Philadelphia, said with a smile: "In these times one never, as the saying goes, knows where one is at.
