Tlio Jumper Waists Hnve Come to
Stay A Ilaiidumui Effect A
Shirtwaist that is Neat nnd Pret
ty A Pretty Idea In the Trimming
of Little Girls' Dresses.
IIV JULES THEKOW.
That the "Juniper" waists and
dresses have come to stay Is evident
from a glance at this season's most
fashionable- garments. The ease
with which the home dressmaker
can make a really attractive costume
by using this stylo of waist has nev
er been equalled by any previous
mode.
The one Illustrated here Is a
"one piece" waist made of bordered
voile, the edge coming on the edge
of the sleeves. A box pleat is made
in the back to take up the unneces
sary fullness and the garment is
slipped on over the head. A bow tie
is made of the same material as the
waist and fastened to the front, at
the top. The guimpe worn with this
jumper has the new high linen col
lar with the wldo frill of plain net
around the top.
For neatness and smartness of
outline the waist like the one pic
tured here can hardly be improved
upon. The material is white linen
with hand embroidered collar and
cuffs. The wreath design being used
and worked out in delft blue.
At each side of the box pleat In
front where the garment closed, are
two tucks turning toward the front
and near the shoulders are two more
turning in the opposite direction,
giving the effect of wide box pleats.
The back is tucked in the same way,
the tucks on the shoulders meeting
those on the front and the other
two turning toward each other and
meeting at the center of the back.
When the waist Is put on the full
ness, at the back Is pushed under
the shoulder tucks which leaves the
back perfectly smooth between the
tucks. The cuffs are the new wldo
kind turned back over a broad sleeve
band and having buttonholes through
both band and cuff. Worn with this
Is a delft blue bow and a white gir
dle fastened by a gold enamelled
square buckle.
The use of several differently fig
ured materials In the same garment
extends to children's clothes as well
as those of oldor people and opens
the way to Innumerable pretty ef
fects. Stripes and checks, polka dots and
plaids, and even flowered goods corn-
blnod with stripes or checks are all
seen and with care In selection can
bo made into very attractive frocks.
A pretty idea Is shown in the trim
ming of the little girls' dross illus
trated here. The dress ltBelf is sim
ply made of printed challis. Tho
figure being a blue ring on a white
ground. Two forward turning tucks
oxtend over the shoulders stitched
with blue silk and ornamented with
button-moulds, covered with blue
and white checked silk. The silk Is
used also for bands around tho neck,
sleeve caps, and lowor edge of the
skirt. This would also be pretty
made of dark blue and white striped
flannel and trimmed with a bright
plaid ribbon about an Inch and a
quarter wide.
Economy In Dress.
Thore are three dangerous rocks
in the beginning of a season which
a woman who must practice econ
omy is likely to foundor; tho first,
cheap novelties; the second, adver
tised bargains which aro sold cheap
because discriminating buyers will
not pay for wearing apparel a sea
son old; and, third, hasty buying of
the, very new in fabrics, color or
shape. New shades of standard
colors are especially dangerous un
less the person selecting them Is
a prophet. Not very many are, and
even astute tailors go slowly In pur
chasing until this or that dress or
color has "made good."
Never buy a tailor suit of last
year's cut, because It Is cheap, and
because you think it can be rocut
at home nnd brought up-to-date.
In 10 cases out of 20 this cannot
bo done. If It wore possible tailors
with their workrooms full of pooplo
nt their disposal would themselves
make changes and reap the benefit.
When such garments are worked
over at home they usunlly end in
a home-made appearance, nnd, all
counted, will cost more than a new
season's gown.
Some Uses of Hot Water.
Hot water is far more of a medici
nal property than many believe or
know. Tho uses of hot water are
many. There is nothing that so
promptly cuts short congestion ot
the lungs, sore throat or rheuma
tism as hot water when applied
promptly and thoroughly. Head
ache almost always yields to the
simultaneous application of hot wate
to the feet and back of the neck. A
strip of iiannel or napkin folded
lengthwise and dipped in hot water,
wrung out and then applied round
tho neck of a child that has the
croup, will bring relief sometimes in
ten minutes. Hot water taken free
ly half an hour before bedtime is
helpful In the case of constipation,
while it has a most soothing effect
upon the stomach and bowels. A
goblet of hot water taken just after
rising, before breakfast, has cured
many of indigestion, and is widely
recommended by physicians to dys
peptics. The Much-Used Kitchen Table.
My zinc covered kitchen table is
such a convenience to me that I want
to describe it for the benefit of other
workers. It Is so simple that any
one can duplicate it 4at small ex
pense. Take any ordinary table and care
fully cover the surface with sheet
zinc, being careful to smoothly ad
just the edges. These should be
turned under and securely tacked
down. It is best to have tho hard
ware man do the work, unless there
is a "handy man about the house"
who knows how to uso a hammer
with judgment and precision.
Once accomplished, you will won
der how you ever got on without
your zinc table. It is so easily clean
ed I wash mine daily with soap and
occasionally with a cloth dipped In
kerosene to keep It polished. Hot
dishes can be placed upon It with
never a thought of their burning
through and spoiling tho usual oil
cloth. It is a sanitary table, too, for'
It is so scrupulously clean.
Try These Useful Hints.
Burn dried orange peel through
out the house frequently, It purifies
the atmosphere, dispels any musty
odors and leaves a dainty fragrance
that nothing can surpass.
White clothes that have become
yollow from age may be restored by
soaking in butter-milk for several
days, changing the milk each day.
Never pour sugar over the whites
of eggs while beating them, but add
from the side of the platter, a little
at the time, in order not to break
the air cells.
An excellent remedy for sore
throat Is pineapple syrup, taken a
tcaspoonful at the time.
If a panful of lime is kept in tho
closet with preserves and jellies, it
will prevent them from mouldng.
Salt water will clean bamboo fur
niture, Chinese and Indian matting
and will prevent It from turning yel
low. For Sweeping and Dusting.
Remove chairs and all other mov
able articles out of the room. Pour
a little household ammonia into a
basin of water; take an old news
paper and crumple In water; scatter
the wet paper over carpet, then be
gin to sweep. The wot papor col
lects the dust.
Jf you have a carpet sweeper, use
sweeper first, then use broom. Car
pets swept In this way have a nice
clean look;
Dust piano, table tops, etc., with
an old piece of velvet; the dust
clings to the nap. For other ar
ticles uso cheeoocloth, as it Is soft
and nioo. Wheo dinted la this way
there is no Itnt.
KNEW HUMAN NATUBE.
Ibo Wiles of the Wily Medical Fa
kir Aro Many nnd Various
Two belligerent appearing men
faced each other.
"You're a liar."
"You'ro a yellow pup."
"Fight!" shrieked a small boy.
Then a crowd of curious began to
gather In front of tho Grant build
ing In upper Market street.
"If you're looking for troublo 1
guess I can give It to you," hissed
tho "liar" between his teeth.
"You can place a bet that I in
tend to Bee things to a finish," re
plied tho "pup," striking a fighting
pose.
"Come around the corner where
a cop won't bother us, then," said
the first, and, war thus declared, the
duo hastened around to an empty lot
behind the post-offlce, while a crowd
of bloodthirsty men and boys dogged
at their heels.
Arrived, tho "liar" mounted a
wooden platform newly built, whilo
tho "pup" dove Into a dry goods box
and extracted therefrom a bulging
suitcase
"Whilo tho 'doctor' gets out tho
packages of our magical herbs, guar
anteed to cure cancer, bunions, all
skin diseases, etc., I will entertain
you with a few slelght-of-hand
tricks," announced tho "liar" in
you with a few sleight-of-hand
stentorian tones.
The crowd then realized that It
had been gulled. A few on tho out
skirts slunk away, but tho majority
remained to fall victims to tho wiles
of tho wily, medical fakirs and their
cur call at ?1 por package, and a
pair of cuff buttons warranted solid
gold, thrown In."

It Is always rcireshlng," says a

"At ono time a chap in business
In that town known to be practising
questionable methods sought to re
tain tho Toledo lawyer, and was
smoothing over his crooked conduct
as well as he knew how, when the
attorney astonished him by exclaim
ing: " 'I think you have acted like an
infernal scoundrel, sir!'
" 'Is there any charge for that
opinion?" asked the man, as he rose
to go.
" 'Yes, sir; five dollars.' "
Wouldn't Take a Chance.
A tall man, impatiently pacing the
platform of a wayside station, ac
costed a boy of about 12.
"S-s-say," ho said, "d-d-do you
know h-h-how late this train is?"
The boy grinned, but made no re
ply. The man stuttered out some
thing about kids In general and
passed into the station.
A stranger asked the boy why ho
liadn't answered the big man.
"D-d-d'ye wanter see me g-g-get

woman fiercely.
And the door closed with a bang.

Verse 14 Should a Christian al
ways attend church on Sunday, If he
has the opportunity, whether at home
or abroad?
If a man does not act like a Christ
ian when away from home, is he a
real Christian when at home, no mat
ter what his outward acts may be?
Verse in. Are not our present day
churches too stiff and formal, com
pared with tho services In this syna
gogue? Should not our services be suffi
ciently elastic to call upon others be
side tho pastor, to take part In them?
Verse lfi. Were there many devout
Jews and others, in those days, who
feared God and were accepted of him,
who had not embraced Christianity?
Should preachers and teachers in
addressing non-Christian audiences,
assume that there may be some of
the number who really "fear God,"
notwithstanding that they may never
have heard of Jesus? (This question
must be answered In writing by mem
bers of the club.)
Verses 17-37 In addressing a hos
tile audience it Is well for a speaker
to commence with things which they
believe In common, making them lead
up to the main question; what matters
did Paul tefor to, in carrying out this
wise rule?
What points In this address ot
Paul's would you say were the most
striking?
Verses 3S-39 In what sense can
God forgive sins through Jesus, that
ho could not through the law of
Moses?
Granted a future life of rewards and
punishments, what question can com
pare in importance with tho forgive
ness of sins?
Are men sane who neglect to have
their sins forgiven, seeing they admit
the grave dangers of delay?
Verses 40-41 What do unconverted
sinners need to "beware of?"
Why do sinners not accept of the
salvation offered to them by Jesus?
Verses 42-43 What is it a sign of,
when men want to hear the gospel
preached?
Is there always an affinity between
spiritual people, notwithstanding dif
ferences of opinion?
Does it do us all good to be urged
to bo true to God?
Verses 44-45 Does the story of the
cross still draw crowds as It did at
Antioch?
When one preacher is Jealous at the
good another preacher' is doing, what
is that a sign of?
Is a truly good man ever jealous of
the good others are doing?
Verses 46-49 Is God more partial to
one nationality than he is to another?
Does God ordain all those to eternal
llfo who will accept of Jesus?
Are gladness and Joy always In the
hearts of those who love and serve
God?
Verses 60-52 When the bad perse

much profit In selling cream to one

MAN AND DOG
NEARLY STARVE
A dispatch from Scranton has this
to say: ,
Four days on tho road from Chi
cago to- Elmlra, without a bite to eat
or a thing to drink, almost cost
Charles Conner, a young Canadian,
his life.
Word reached the Lackawanna rail
road officials here yesterday that
Connor was discovorcd In a box car
at Elmlra, after having been locked
In the car since the train left Chi
cago. A little yellow dog was his
only companion. Both Conner and
the dog were famished and in anoth
er few hours would have starved to
death. It was the dog's bark that
saved Conner.
Conner's home Is In Chester Springs,
Canada. Ho wanted to work his way
cast so that ho could get home. In
Chicago he picked up a dog. It was
as yellow as the yellowest, but It
stuck like gluo and Conner didn't
have the heart to leave It behind.
Picking out what ho thought would
be a nice car. Conner hid behind a
pile of malt bags and got himself
and the dog locked in.
Tho train didn't move as fast as
Connor calculated and pretty soon the
pangs of hunger gnawed at his vitals.
Witli nn almost superhuman grit Con
nors stood It for a day, but after an
other day thirst parched his throat
and ho all but lost consciousness.
When the train reached Bath the con
ductor detected a faint noise In the
car. it sounded like neither man nor
beast and the train crow avoided the
car. Hut, as the train went along
they heard It ugain. At Elmlra It
was decided to open the car. The
seal was accordingly broken and to
tho intense astonishment of the crow
a dog barked weakly and a man
with haggard face and body too weak
to stand, crawled to the light from
under a bag of malt that had a hole
gnawed In It where in desperation
the man and the dog ate the malt.
Streaks of gray In Conner's naturally
dark hair mutely told the suffering
he had endured in the agonizing ride
from Chicago to Elmira.
Nourishing food was provided both
the man and the dog by men from
Chief Special Agent Adamson's de
partment.
COST OF VIOLATING THE LAW
$2,000,000.
WASHINGTON, April 30. Fraud
ulent weighing at the uocks in Brook
lyn and Jersey City, has cost the
American Sugar Refining company
more than two niillion dollars.
The attorney general has issued a
statement announcing his approval of
the settlement effected between the
company of all the alcims which had
been pending. The company pays in
full the recent judgment of $134,
411.03, together with Interest, and
in addition $2,000,000, representing
duties which have been unpaid dur
ing tho past twelve years, owing to
fraudulent practices. O'f this amount
a million and a quarter had already
been paid in to Collector Loeb under
protest, which protest has now been
abandoned. The statement says:
"Tho management of the sugar
company have become convinced that
the alleged frauds actually existed.
The present settlement is a substan
tial restitution of the unpaid duties
affected by these frauds. This settle
ment in nowise atfects the criminal
prosecutions of the individuals who
are responsible for the frauds, and
such prosecutions will be pressed to
a finish by the government."
CITIZEN'S 5 MILE RACE.
In hopes that every athlete will
read the following suggestions, they
are herein printed for their guid
ance. First, before competing, or even
entering upon the course of train
ing necessary to compete in this
event safely, each athlete is ad
vised to have his heart examined.
Second, not only should the athlete
have his arms and body covered in
his practice, but he should likewise
wear a loose fitting pair of long
woolen trousers, and he should have
his feet well protected, by strong
soles, from the pebbles and hard
road, and thus avoid bruises.
While the man running feels
warm, his arms and shoulders being
exposed to the cold air it is very
easy for him to contract rheuma
tism and colds, which will result
later in life In much pain and dis
comfort. The training should be started
with long walks at a rapid gait with
frequent jogs, and tho distance of
the jog should be gradually in
creased until by the 15 of May every
contestant can safely jog at about
two-thirds his best speed the full
course of five miles without great
inconvenience. He should be es
pecially sure to cover up warmly af
ter his work, and after his heart
and lungs have resumed their nor
mal rhythm, and his temperature
has becomo normal, to bo rubbed
down in a warm room, free from
draughts, after which he should rest
In bed warmly covered up for at
least an hour.
Since the race is to be in the af
ternoon, the best time to train for
this race Is at that hour.
Tobacco and liquor should bo
avoided, as no man can get in his
best condition and partake of these
things; especially is this true of tho
young athlete who has not formed
the habit of depending upon these
stimulants.
