Knowing Everybody.
When one thinks of all the people
one leaves cards on, the ones we nod
to, and the ones we shake hands with,
and when we realize how little we
know about any of them, the absolute
banality of a large acquaintance. be-
comes apparent. Yet to increase
their acquaintance is the aim and
object of half .the women who do the
London season.—Ladies’ Field.
The Return of Foulard.
The greatest of all sensations seems
to be the return to favor of foulard.
French women are possessed by the
idea that for morning wear the sim-
ple elegance of foulard costume can
hardly be improved upon, and the
couturiers are almost overwhelmed
with orders for costumes of this de-
When elaborately trimmed
foulard can be made to do almost any
duty.
Clubs for Deaf Ladies.
One of the most curious clubs on
record has recently been formed by
society ladies in Berlin. The princi-
pal condition of membership is that
the applicant must be deaf. The
club has over a hundred members,
who meet regularly once a week in
handsomely furnished rooms in the
Wilhelmstrasse, where they converse
by means of ear-trumpets and sign
language and drink tea.
Lace Belts and Bows.
Lace of all kinds has never been
so fashionable as at the present writ-
ing. Every day one hears of a new
use to make of lace. It seems almost
to have taken the place of ribbon as
a trimming. Any one who has old
laces should have them cleaned and
mended and use them to trim her best
costume. The use of lace has become
a perfect fad among fashionable wom-
en. One woman had an evening gown
trimmed with seven different kinds of |
lace, and another had a theatre waist
made of four kinds: of lace, Cluny,
Irish point, Valenciennes, and Ren-
aissance lace. It is needless to say
the effect was very handsome. Lace
belts and bows for the hair are among
the latest uses to make of lace. The
belts are lined with heavy chiffon
and boned and are made with a point
in front, and bow and long ends in
the back.—New Idea.
The Mother's “No.”
There are few things more condu-
cive to disobedience and stubbornness
in children than the constant use of
the words ‘no’ and “don’t” The
mother should hesitate more than
once before saying them. Listen pa-
tiently to a little one’s request before
saying “no,” no matter how trivial it
may seem to you. It may mean much
to him. If the request is reasonable,
even though it may cause you some
little inconvenience, try to grant it.
If, however, saying “yes” to the child
is going to cause a great deal of dis-
comfort to some one else, if it Is not
for the child’s good, or if after delib-
eration what is asked seems wrong in
your judgment, give the child a short
but intelligent reason for a denial,
then let no amount of teasing change
your decision. It is not necesary to
be stern in this matter, but firm, and
the child will soon learn to accept
your judgment without fretting, satis-
fied in the feeling that you know best.
Always think twice before saying
“no,” but once said, stick to it; do not
retreat.—Marianna Wheeler, in Har-
per’s Bazar.
For The Up-to-Date Need!ewoman.
In making napkins the initial or
monogram is still put in the corner,
though an occasional housewife pre-
fers marking them in the centre. The
letters vary from an inch to an inch
and a half in height.
As a general thing tablecloths are
embroidered on one side, the mono-
gram so placed that it is” near the
edge of the table. The marking on
some of the prettiest cloths is often
repeated on the other side. The po-
sition of the monogram depends
largely on individual taste, however,
some women preferring the exact cen-
tre, and others the corner, to match
the napkins, but just at present the
fad is for placing it at the side.
The little sewing screens now seen
fn all of the large shops are a boon
to the woman who does only fancy
work, as well as to the more practical
neediewoman. - They are so complete
and they occupy such a small space
that as a woman said not long ago,
they must be a part of the natural
outcome of the question of living in
flats. They are pretty, too. The
two panels joined by hinges are cov-
ered with plain denim, studded with
brass nails or with gay eolored cre-
tonne. In the small space between
them are ingeniously stowed away all
the comforts of sewing, while in the
centre is a shelf that folds up when
not in use. There are pockets in the
gides of the screen that will hold fan-
cy work and sewing. The screen
may be folded and placed out of the
way against the wall or in a conven-
ient corner.
With the handwork so popular on
waists and gowns these days almost
every woman is tempted to take up
needlework as a matter of economy,
if nothing else. Fortunately for the
amateur much of the ornamentation
now used on thin materials does not
require great skill; it is quickly done
and always looks pretty. Certainly
from all indications it looks as thoug

Not indeed that our scheme of culture
is to be simply for bread-winning.
Education does not really mean ‘“Get-
rich-quick.” It is better to be an in-
strument of ten strings than of one
string. It is better to be orchestral
than instrumental. So education is
not simply for pay work, for bread
work; it reaches out far beyond them
to ultimate ends, approached through
beauty in art,” music and. literature,
through the fruitful truths in history,
through pure thoughts in science, eth-
ics, economics. A human being is
thus more of a man, in touch with
life at a thousand points, with sym-
pathies everywhere. The poor man
with culture is inexpressibly rich. His
are the treasures of drtistic beauty,
the stores of precious learning; his
are Orion and the Pleiades, the mar-
vels of the world opening countless
windows into the infinite! And the
rich man without culture of mind or
soul is a beggar—within.—Rabbi Har-
rison in St. Louis Republic.
Fashion Notes.
It pays to buy good laces. They
can be used over and over again and
always look nice.
Several styles for fall show corsage
skirts, and all girdles seem to be wide,
giving high-busted effects.

season as there has been this season.
Have you seen the wool dusters
that look like huge chrysanthemums of

handle wound with green to look like

Diamonds are always a la mode, but
the jewellers have arrangements by
which they place other stones in such
positions that they seem to enhance
the ensemble.
The very short sleeves are re-
sponsible for the number of bracelet
designs now appearing. Odd bracelets
are in vogue, generally the kind that
is made in sections.
The woman who has a perfectly
clear complexion will do well to in-
clude in her wardrobe the coming sea-

binations which are to have a strong

Light blue figures largely in mil-
linery and there is no more attractive
and appropriate shade for the gauzy
creations of the season. Velvet rib-
bon in light blue is an especially fa-
vored trimming.
If you are observing you have seen

An Echo Alarm Clock.
President Murphy, of the Chicago
National League Club, told at a base-
ball dinner a remarkable echo story.
“There was a man,” he began,
“who had a country house in the
Catskills. He was showing a visitor
over his grounds one day, and, com-
ing to a hilly place, he said:
‘“ ‘There’s a remarkable echo here.
If you stand under that rock and
shout, the echo answers four distinct
times, with an interval of several
minutes between each answer.’
“But the visitor was not at all im-
pressed. He said, with a loud laugh:
‘“ ‘You ought to hear the echo at
my place at Sunapee. Before getting
into bed at night I stick my head out
of the window and shout, “Time to
get up, William!” and the echo
wakes me at 7 o'clock sharp the next
morning.’ ”’
Vacuum Preserving Jar.
A vacuum preserving jar is a re-
cent invention of an Illinois man.
The invention relates primarily to
jars or other vessels for hermetically
sealing ond preserving fruits, food-
stuffs, beverages and so on. The
cover is held on by atmospheric pres-
sure and readily released without in-
juring the cap,:co that the vessel can
be refilled and used an indefinite
number of times, thus adapting it
for household .as other purposes. In
the illustration it is shown in con-
nection with a jar, the upper end of
which is formed with a flange, upon
which rests o cap so shaped as to
form a tight connection. Around
the edge of the cap is a rubber gas-
ket. The centre of the cap is formed
with a small vent, closed by means of
a rubber valve. A vacuum or partial

vacuum can be created by bringing
the contens to a boiling temperature,
which will cause the outside atmos-
pheric pressure to tightly close the
rubber valve in the cap; or the air
at the top of the vessel can be ex-
hausted by means of a simple pump.
In the latter event the invention can
be used for preserving materials
without cooking. This invention is
adapted to the use of any other ma-
terial than glass for jars, and the
form is not necessarily limited to
that indicated in the drawing. Both
the jar and the cover are made en-
tirely of glass, making it non-poison-
ous, with the advantage that it can
be used again and again.
What Noon Means in Law.
When is it legally noon? Fire in-
surance policies expire at noon, and
the word is admitted to mean exactly
at 12 o'clock midday. But standard
time has not been adopted in all com-
munities. Many small towns cling
to the sun time, which may be from a
few minutes to nearly an hour earlier
than standard. In one State a fire
occurred at two minutes past noon,
sun time, and the insurance company
held that the policy had expired be-
fore the fire. Sun time is used in
that town, but the insured sued the
company, holding that local customs
did not run the policy, and that he
was entitled to his insurance. ~The
State courts sustained him. In an-
other State a similar contention was
taken to the courts and just the op-
posite decision given. Several con-
flicting precedents have been estab-
lished in State courts, and it is said |
the question can only be decided for
good and all when a case has been
carried into the United States courts
and passed upon by the Supreme
Court.—New York Press.

T’ break away from business cares,

When there wa’n’t no cloudy days an’ 1
Had nothjn’ t’ do but play,
I can hear th’ brook a laughin’
In th’ shadow of th’ trees;
I can see th’ grasses noddin’
An’ a dancin’ in th’ breeze,
An’ somewhere up above me,
Between th’ trees an’ sky,
I hear th’ restless nighthawk’s
Sharp an’ raspin’ cry.
¥ hug th’ water to me,
An’ I kick it into foam.
I turn upon my back an’ float,
With not a thought o’ home.
I dive down t’ th’ bottom,
An’ feel ‘round fer a stun.
Next I’m treadin’ water,
An’ t’ help along th’ fun
I try my hand at "dos p27,
An’ th’ long an’ steady stroke
Which years ago in th’ millpond
Many a swimming record broke.
My hair hain’t whut it used t’ be;

I’m gettin’ old, but I have a hope
That I'll never see th’ day
That I can’t go out among th’ trees,
T’ where the brook is deep,
When th’ day is dyin’ in th’ west,
An’ th’ birds are goin’ t’ sleep,
An’ take .a good old-fashioned swim,
Ag I did when th’ world was gay,

The Arctic For Climate.
In the far North, when winter set-
tles down in earnest, the very air
seems frozen, and is filled with tiny
little frost crystals. Tempered steel
and seasoned oak and hickory be-
come brittle, soft iron becomes hard
as steel, molasses and lard are cut
with a hatchet, petroleum turns
white and grows thick like ice cream,
and one's breath turns instantly to,
jce. Yet my readers should under-
stand that the cold alone is not the
greatest hardship of the Arctic re-
gions, nor is it a thing which alone
should interfere with Arctic work.
Heat and cold, as you know, are
relative, and the climate of New Eng-
land may seem as unendurable and
as great a terror to a native of the
tropics as does the winter cold of the
Arctic regions to the native of New
England.
A well, sound man, woman or
child, if properly fed and properly
clothed, can live and endure the se-
verest cold of the Arctic regions just
as comfortably as we live and endure
the cold of our Northern winters here
at home.
It is only when the cold joins with
an Arctic blizzard, the drifting snow
and the wind, the winter demons of
the North, that all attempts to work
or travel must be given up, and men
and animals are compelled to burrow
is over. Commander Peary, in
Youth’s Companion.

Mrs. E. H. Pavitt, wife of a farmer,
was beaten to death at her home in
Springfield township, near Media,
with a hatchet in the hands of an un-
known assailant during the absence
of her husband. Her body, with the
head crushed almost into a pulp, was
found by her husband upon his return
from Chester, where he had gone to
dispose of a load of farm products.
Pavitt notified his nearest neighbors.
In a short time a posse of farmers
was organized, and a few hours later

The jury in the trial of Henry Rose,
for the murder of James B. Miller of
Rainsburg, after being out all night,
handed in a verdict of murder in the
first degree. On May 22, 1905, Henry
Rose, who carried the mail from Bed-
ford to Rainsburg, stopped at the
blacksmith shop of James Miller, in
Rainsburg, to have his horse shod.
Several persons saw some one. open
the door and let the horse out, then
voices were heard in the shop and
later Rose was seen leaving. At dusk
a huckster saw a man carry the Hmp
form of Miller outside the door of
the shop into the lumber room, but
thinking Miller was drunk paid no at-
tention to it. The next morning the
blacksmith and wagon shops were
burned and the trunk of Miller's body
was found in the ruins. That morning
Rose entered two notes against Mil-
ler for $2,100. Later he was arrested
charged with forgery, and then with
murder.

Both engines were demolished.
All investigation of the shooting on
the mountain near Sugar Notch shows
that Adam Ruscas, the man found
dead, had been shot by Game Warden
Frank Rowe. The latter claims while
passing through the woods he came
upon Ruscas and a companion. Rus-
cas carried a gun and had a bag well
filled with game. The warden de-
manded that both men surrender, but
they refused. Warden Rowe claims
Rascas opened fire on him and that
he returned the fire, shooting Rascas
through the heart. The game warden
received a number of buckshot in the
legs and is in the Wilkesbarre City
hospital.
