Fashion decrees this y; ar that color harmony must reign between skirt and waist. No longer can one t" be strictly a la mode wear a bright, dashing waist and a dark liued skirt. One color tone must prevail, or the waist in some way must be brought in touch with the skirt and give the effect of a carefully de signed costume. How was this to be done? Woman vowed she would not give up the shirt waist and tailor suit. Yet how secure a waist in tone with her tailor gown? Silks for morning wear were tabooed. A cloth waist of the same fabric as the tailor frock and worn tinder the coat was not to be thought of. It was a problem. And it has perplexed many. But now it seems solved. Crepe de chine came to the rescue. It ts being made up into waists for the well dressed woman, and it answers the purpose admirably. Dressy, soft and to be hail in all colorings, it harmo nizes with any suit and gives that quiet, one toned tout ensemble now so much desired. A favorite mode of mak ing it up is to accordion plait tho waist lengthwise and the sleeves transverse ly. Any bit of bright color can be add ed for trimming, and here individual taste comes in, whereby the touch is given the gown that marks it as dis tinctive. Fine and Fxpenalve Unttom. Buttons are one of the most striking features of this year's fashions. One easily may spend .?liX> for enough to adorn a single gown and not overload It at that. Semiprecious and imitation of precious stones are used for buttons and make a display that often is daz zling. Two dressmakers who were arrested for smuggling a few days ago had rows and rows of beautiful buttons sewed upon old garment*. They found it im possible to prove that rhinestone and emerald buttons had a right to a place on such garments, and tlie ornaments Intended for rich costumes were confis cated. Some of these costly buttons are handsome enough to be used, each one separately, as an ornament for the neck or hair. Some of them consist of a single stone, as an opal, emerald, ruby, garnet, turquoise, topaz, agate or brilliant, but more frequently they have a richly colored stone of good size for the center set in a circlet of imita tion pearls or diamonds. Cut steel, brass, bronze and all sorts of metal buttons are extremely stylish, and handsomely enameled buttons are much favored, the coloring being cho aen to harmonize or contrast with that of the gown on which the buttons are to be used.—New York Tress. Th« Tall Woman. Certainly the tall woman has a period of unending conquest before her. Pic ture hats, empire coals, three-quarter length wraps and tunics are all for her, and she can revel in their charm with a calm a«renity at her plump neighbor's Irritation. The directoire modes and Louis XVI coats are her very own. The short girl must confine herself to Etons, and no matter how her very soul yearns for flopping brims and drooping plumes her hats must be small or lifted from tier face. But the short woman is a delightful picture in all things em pire, especially evening dress. Tall women may be voted dreams in them by poets or dreamers who don't know, but she is emphatically refused by her dressmaker who does. Dlamed the Planet».

One of the leading alienists of Chi- j rr.go, with a practice of CO years be- j lii:;d him, had an experience not long igo that was entirely new to him. It was near his hour for starting to j liis lecture class in a West Side school. 1 Three women were In the waiting room. Two of them were willing to make an appointment for the next flay. The third one. a stranger, would hear to no delay, and the doctor's as sistant showed her in. "I had my hat in my hand." said the doctor, "and she had been told that I I was in a hurry. She came across the j room in a most leisurely fashion, how- j ever, taking three times as much time as the ordinary person would. She , was chewing an unusual wad of gum— j a whole package, I should say—and she 1 was chewing it with desperate vigor. "She sat down slowly, and I asked j her a question. She looked straight at me and went on chewing. I spoke again and again, but she sat looking at me and chewing in as much silence as was possible under the circum stances. Finally I said to her: " 'Madam, will you kindly stop chew ing long enough to answer my ques tions?' "Then she burst out, sobbing:" " 'That's just what I'm here for—l can't stop—l've got to chew—and I've been chewing just this way for more than two years.' "—Chicago Tribuue. Wheeler'* Bravery. Wheeler's charge at the battle of Shiloli was said by General Grant to be one of the most splendid exhibitions of human bravery he had ever witness ed, and a feat which roused admira tion among both armies was when tlie intrepid little general accomplished the destruction of Rosccrans' provision train after the battle of Chickamauga. On Dec. 30, 1803, General Wheeler attempted and successfully carried out one of the most daring, perilous and important duties ever assigned a cav alry commander. He crossed the Ten nessee river in the face of a division of cavalry under General George Crook, drove back and worsted the troops that guarded tho Federal trains of 6CO mules and 1,000 wagons and captured the whole, with 1.500 prisoners. While he was thus engaged Rose crans' cavalry, 8,000 strong, swept down upon the Georgians. The latter charged and repulsed the northerners, capturing the forts at MeMiuuville. Tenn., witli 000 prisoners and great stores; capturing the forts and destroy ing the bridges near Murfrcosboro. and then, as full of fight as at the begin ning of the engagement, they turned and put to rout General Hooker and the Eleventh and Twelfth corps that came riding down at the moment to re enforce the Yankees.—Chicago Journal. Tbe Hlatory of a Book. Following is the story of the first edi tion of Fitzgerald's celebrated transla tion of "Omar Khayyam." The book was issued anonymously and found 110 buyers. Accordingly the author went to Bernard Quaritcli's shop, dropped a heavy parcel of 200 copies of the "Ru baiyat" and said, "Quaritch, 1 make you a present of these books." The famous bookseller offered them first at half a crown, then at a shilling and, again descending, at sixpence, but no buyers came. In despair, he re duced the book to a penny and put copies into a box outside his door, with a ticket, "All these at one penny each." At that price the pamphlet moved, in a few weeks the lot was sold, and in this way one of the finest getna of Eng lish literature was dispersed among a not overdiscerning public. The legend lias it that Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Swinburne and Burton were among those who discovered the "hid den treasure in the penny box." Years passed, and the ouce despised volume rose in the market, and in 1.598 t„>uar itch bought In for £2l a copy which 40 years before he had sold for a penny. Bedlam. The word "bedlam" Is a corruption of the word "Bethlehem" and originat ed as a synonym for chaos at the time when the house of Bethlehem, occu pied by a sisterhood of London, became an insane asylum. The treatment of the insane in the early part of the six teenth century was not well under stood, and, according to the theories then prevalent, it was necessary to frighten the patient out of his lunacy. Aii sorts of awful expedients were re sorted to. among them "surprise floors." which slipped from under the feet; "surprise baths" and floggings at the periods of most severe illness; hence the name "bedlam," the result of in correct spelling, possibly, came easily to stand for awful things.

It happened in an "L" ear. lie was tall, handsome and just a little* too well dressed and was reading a pamphlet on which stood out in letters large enough to be plainly legible to the op posite row of passengers the title, "Correct Dress." They nil noticed him, for he was really beautiful. There was no doubt as to what he was reading. The passengers followed it almost line by line and knew just what part of the essay he had reached. It began when his eyes left the book and glanced dubiously at his cloth top ped patent leathers. He shook his head slightly as he saw that the upper was of a trifle too pronounced a pat tern. Next he took in his trousers, and a bland smile of satisfaction wreathed his face. There was a slight frown when lie compared his waistcoat with the haberdasher's manual, but his coat and hat were evidently irreproachable. The end of the inventory and of the spectators' self control came when the beautiful one began to admire in the back of his watch case his neckwear, his shirt and the faultless curves of Ills collar.

The stories are common enough of fire engines being turned out to quench an aurora, and, on the other hand, it has not seldom happened that a very mundane conflagration has passed muster for a "celestial display." In the memoirs of Baron Stockmar an amusing anecdote is related of one I Ilerr von Radowitz, who was given to ! making the most of easily picked up j information. A friend of the baron's I went to an evening party near Frank fort, where he expected to meet Ilerr i von Radowitz. On his way he saw a j barn burning, stopped his carriage, as- I sisted the people and waited till the ! flames were nearly extinguished. When j he arrived at his friend's house, he found Ilerr von Radowitz, who had previously taken the party to the top of the building to see an aurora, dilating on terrestrial magnetism, electricity, etc. Radowitz asked Stockmar's friend. "Have you seen the beautiful aurora borealis?" He replied: "Certainly. 1 was there l myself. It will soon be over." An ex | planatkin followed as to the barn on ! fi7-e. Radowitz was silent some ten minutes, then he took up his hat and quietly disappeared.—Knowledge. Sot n SncceM. The experiment was not a success. Frequently she had complained that he was not as he used to be, that his love seemed to have grown cold and that he was too prosaic and matter of fact. So when he found one of his old love letters to her he took it with him the next time he was called away from the city, made a copy of it and mailed it to her. "John nenry." she exclaimed when he returned, "you're the biggest fool that ever lived. 1 believe you have softening of the brain. What did you mean by sending me that trash?" "Trash, my dear," lie expostulated. "Yes, trash—just sickly, sentimental nonsense." "That isn't how you described it when I first wrote it and sent it to you," he protested. "You said then it was the dearest, sweetest letter ever written, and you insist now that I have changed and you haven't. 1 thought 1 would try to"— "Well, you didn't succeed." she in terrupted, and she was mad for two days.

In placing them the builder usually avoids having one opposite another lest evil spirits find their way from the street into the recesses of the building. The door ways separating the courts of a garden are usually of an elaborate kind, and the octagonal form is one of the most popular. Religious superstition asserts itself n Chinese architecture, and tlie universal sacredness of tiie numerals three and nine is shown in the arrangement o« temple doors. There is a triple gate way to each of the halls of the Imperial palace, and the same order prevails at the Ming tombs, and the sacred person of the emperor when lie was in his Pe king home could only be approached even by the highest officials after three times three prostrations. The Temple of Heaven has a triple roof, a triple marble staircase, and all its mystic symbolism points either to three or its multiples. Her Challenge. A woman in Cape Colony on trial for 6ome offense was told that she might "challenge" any one on the jury to whom she objected.

"I cannot do justice to myself," she said to the manager, "if I do not have a limelight thrown on me when I ap pear at the balcony." "We ain't got no limelight, miss, but I think we could get you a ship's blue light," replied the obliging manager, and to this the lady agreed. The lad who went to the shop to buy the blue light brought back a signal rocket, which was given to him by mis take. The prompter took the rocket In good faith. Romeo—He jests at scars who never felt a wound. (Juliet appears. Prompter lights a match.) "But, soft! What light through yon der window breaks?" (This was tbe match lighting the fuse.) "Arise, fair sun!" Tlie sun—or rather the rocket—did rise with a terrific hiss. Juliet was knocked off the balcony, the fly borders were set on fire, and the theater was filled with a sulphurous smoke, while the audience, which was fortunately a small one, made a stampede to the doors. Since then "Romeo and Juliet" has always been looked upon in that town as a dramatic work that could not be witnessed without personal danger.— New World. Two Pointer* an to the Ooat. "You may go into the goat business and educate the people of the middle west to eat goat meat," said Wiley O. Cox yesterday, "but you will not learn from books what my father learned from experience," and then Mr. Cox gave away i trick of the trade. "The man who goes In for Angoras will find that it is true they will Jump anything under 100 feet high and climb a sapling. They will get at the neigh bor's wash as sure as it goes on the line, and there will be lingerie to pay for. But if you would be on the safe side and keep the billy there turn him up and cut away the little creeper that you will find at the bottom of the hoof. It will not hurt him to lose It, but it ruins his ambition as a mountebank. It will save lots of trouble to have a chiropodist get at the Angora with a nail trimmer." Goat meat cannot be distinguished from mutton ordinarily. In every car of sheep that comes from New Mexico there are sure to be from two to a doz en goats In the lot. They all goto the same block at tbe packers, and the good wife who tnkes borne goat's chops for lamb chops Is never the wiser. Nor Is the butcher. A goat Is only a goat when he has his pelt on. After that he Is a sheep.—Kansas City Journal. Cbenper Than a Funeral. In a certain North Dakota town there are two physicians, one with a long record of cures and the other popularly rated as "no good." The favored doctor found his services In great request, but as payment was not always forthcoming he made a rule that a certain class of his patients should pay in advance. One winter's night he was roused by two farmers from a hamlet ten mllea away, the wife of one of whom was se riously 111. He told them togo to the other doctor, but they refused, saying they would prefer his services. "Very well," replied the medico. "In that case my fee is $lO, the money to be paid now." The men remonstrated, but the doc tor was obdurate and shut down his window. lie waited, however, to hear what they would say. "Well, what will we do now?" asked the farmer whose wife was 111. And the reply that was given must have been as gratifying as it was amusing to the listening doctor. It was:"l think you would better give It. The funeral would cost you more." Shnkenpeare In the Bible. In Shakespeare's name lies the key to a wonderful cryptogram. The spell ing "Shakespeare" was the poet's nom de plume, while "Shakespere" was his name, an evident change from "Shakes pear." In each of the two spellings last given are ten letters—four vowels and six consonants. Combine these two figures, and we have the number 4t>, the key to the mystery. Turning to the Forty-sixth Psalm In the revised version, it is found that the psalm Is divided into three portions, each one ending with "selah." Remem ber the number —4G. Counting 40 words from the begin ning of the psalm, one reads the word "shake" In the first portion, and count ing 40 words from the end of the psalm one reaches the word "spear."

Suddenly those near saw the satchel fall and heard the sharp tinkle of breaking glass. The old man picked tip the glass and muttered exclamations of distress.

When of high purity, it is actually vermilion in color. Cinnabar is the original source of the pigment known commercially as vermilion. It Is a compound of sulphur and quick silver, and in order to separate the lat ter from the sulphur the rock is roast ed. Passing off in the form of a gas, the mercury is afterward condensed and flows out in a fine stream, like a continuous pencil of molten silver. The discovery of the famous Califor nia mines came about in an odd sort of way by observation of the vermilion paint with which certain Indians In that part of the country frescoed their bodies. It was ascertained where they got tb** pigment, and thus were revealed the rich deposits which subsequently became of such commercial Impor tance. Like gold and silver, mercury ; s occasionally found In a native or pure state. Sometimes the miner's pick penetrates a cavity that contains a cup ful or more of the elusive and beauti ful fluid. Miners suffer much from the poison ouseffectsof the quicksilver fumes. Ex treme cleanliness is the best safeguard for workers in this dangerous occupa tion. Use Is also made of a sort of lem onade which serves to a certain extent as an antidote, a strong acid taking the place of lemon juice In the composition of the drink.—Saturday Evening Post. The Ladr and the Cobra. An English woman residing In India one evening found to her horror that a huge cobra had coiled Itself about her veranda rails, near which she sat play ing the violin. She was too near the snake to run with safety, so she contin ued playing while she gradually edged away. At first her only idea was to keep the creature thus engaged while she escaped, but when she had gained a safer distance and perhaps fascinat ed by the unwonted sight a strange In spiration seized her. She played air after air of different characters. The effect was magical. That snake behaved like an ardent, hot blooded disciple of Pagantnl. Every variation In the music, whether of volume or of tone, produced instantly a correspond ing change In the attitude of the cobra. If she played a lively dance, it swayed Its body sideways In quick time and yet In graceful curves. Once she struck a number of false notes in rapid suc cession on purpose. The cobra winced and writhed in pain as if suddenly struck with a whip. Thus the creature behaved like a mad musician till the lady, getting tired of the sport, gradually worked herself farther and farther and then made a sudden bolt Into her room and banged the door, leaving the cobra to grander disconsolate to its lair in the fiplds.
