Dots, spots and diamonds of green, black, blue In all shides. crim son, orange and mauve enhance the aoft lustre of the creamy pongee, and Rtocks to match the ties are of the same tint and stuffs.

It would be hard to tell what was the fashionable tie by the display in theso pongee novelties, as every kind of knot and bow can be bought In them from the short, narrow band tying la a tiny, stiff bow to the puffed Ascot, the flamboyant de Jolnvllle, the artist's bow with flying eudu, or the four-ln-band, with a tight, small knot and ends to the waist. New York Com mercial Advertiser. Mothara In St-lutnl. Mothers are going to school in Springfield, Mass. The school board of that town has arrauged for an af ternoon school session for the bene fit of those mothers who are eager to learn and cannot leave their small children to go to night school. The necessity for such a school was dis covered by kindergarten teachers in p their visits to the homes of some cf the poor children. Most of the moth ers are foreigners and some of them ar fairly well educated, but want to learn the English language more rap idly than they can In their home sur roundings. Many of the women have to endure a vast amount of ridicule from their husbands and neighbors, but they plod on courageously and one woman was overjoyed when she wai able to write a note of excuse for her son's absence, which the teacher con I J read without difficulty. New York Press, Tha Tallaat Dtii-liata. The robes of crimson velvet and white satin and ermine to be worn by duchesses, countesses and baronesses at the coronation will be rather over powering In more ways than one to a great many of the wearers. The Duchess of Portland probably will find them as unsuitable, to a June day as the other people, but she, at any rate, may have the satisfaction of knowing that, however she feels, she will not look overwhelmed by them. Her grace is a tall and regal looking woman, and relvet and ermine will exactly -suit her style of beauty. The Duchess was a Miss Dallas Yorke, and her marriage to the Duke of Portland was the re sult of his seeing her at a railway sta tion where she chanced to have gone to meet the train by which he was traveling. The Duke was so attract ed by her beauty that he inquired who she was, and soon afterwards manag ed to secure the introduction to her which eventually led to their marriage. This event Is said to have been pre dicted some time before by the well known old gypsy fortune teller of Brighton House Notes. Carl Without Tonga. Away with the curling tongs! A boon which womankind will welcome baa been found a means for curling the balr by a natural process. The trick Is done without Iron or boat of any sort. All that is required are a brush and comb and a dab of balr tonic. ' The first step In the operation Is standing before a mirror to part the v balr laterally from ear to ear. Comb the forward half down over the face .and divide it into three parts. Select the central one of these three 'divisions for the first treatment, comb It back from the face and wet It wltn a good tonic applied with a brush. The wetting of the hair makes It easy to handle, and the tonic nourishes the roots and helps the growth. With the middle portion of the ha'r thus slightly dampened, hold It back on the head with one haud, while the other hand grasps a comb, which Is run nlowly through the hair and a "comb ful" gently pulled lose. Remember not to release the ends, but now let the loose part fall Into the wave that it will naurally take. Take care to no tice what this natural bent Is and fol low lu Success depends on this. If the wave fulls slightly to the right or to the left or wherever It falls, let It be there. The forefinger of the band which Is holding the hair back should be plac ed over the wave to hold it in place flat against the forehead. Then draw out the comb and raise It to pull out another wave, turning In the opposite direction. When this wave has been adjusted, use the sec ond finger to hold It In place. Then put a third wave forward, and so on. Four Is about the usual num ber, although there may be more If you like. Ilcfore removing the hand and thereby relenting the series of waves, pin each one tightly In place with small wire hairpins. Trent each of the side sectfons as the central section. When the three parts have been moved and pined fast, tie them down still tighter by means of nn old soft veil, which should be worn until the dampness h thoroughly dried out of the hulr, usually for about an hour. Thn remove the pins, and the hair, having been tl led In that shape will remain In the waves. Washington Star. Htop-Stainpatl rum, "I wish I could get the stamp of the store out of my face," said a bright young shop girl during one of the con fidential luncheon ch.its that ore some times unavoidably overheard. "Yes." assented her older and better dressed companion, "but you can't ex pect that until you ore luckily mar ried." ' Oh.

"You may laugh." noded the elder, "but If you would follow my persecu tion you might acquire a placid ex pression that very coyly imitates the ease of comfort." "All right, you are my doctor, now go aheaJ," and the girl pushed back her plate and leaned her chin In her hands. "When 1 was first married." said the older woman, "I fell to studying my mirror. Tom had said so much about my looking tired, and there was no ex cuse for my being tired, so I conclu led that it was the wear and tear of life in the store which had added tilings to my face. "L'pon close examination I found a little tiny crinkle on my brow. It was so straight and unbending that t de cided It sprouted and grew under the baneful influence of various and sun dry lloor-walkers, and as I had grad uated from floor-walker and other stern things I ordered the crinkle out. "Another, but kinkier one, in a quiv ering and disagreeable way was be coming too much attached to the out ter corner of my eye. That, I decided, was the rent day wrinkle. It was capable of such an indefinite number of positions that it could only have come from the many fierce skirmishes I had had with my dear, darling land ladies. "One little one," she went on, "Just below my eye. came from the fear I always nursed of the day when I should be broke, out of a position, and sick, so I called that my hospital wrin kle; and another one, a little lower, came from squinting my disdain at the picturesque corner staters, who tlilnk they have an affinity for every shop girl who looks the least bit hungry. "After, all these classifications, I told my mirror tnat we were to have a dally consultation, that I was In love with my husband, aim who was in love with me, and that, inasmuch as there were to be no more worries or cares of the store variety, therefore tne'fe were to lie no more wrinkles, and," with a sweep of her hand over the table, "so you see me, a most pla cid and contented woman.

Handsome wash belts are of linen In various colors heavily embroidered In small (towers or fanciful figures. A realistic etirnation of pink coral Is odd and pretty on one of the import ed umbrella handles. Twisted silver stems are bent to form a curved han dle and at the end of these the flower appears. Moonstones are being used in sleeve links. Other very attractive sleeve links are gold balls, In which are sunk diamonds, or emeralds, or ruby-tinted stones, surrounded by a scattering of brilliants. An odd conceit In decoration on a parasol bundle of natural wood is a large mother of pearl grasshopper, who rises to the occuslon with gilded feet and wings bestudded with many colored gems. Knockabout hats for young children, both boys and girls, are of soft felt in various colores. The only trimming Is a lacing of Bill; cord in four rows at the brim edge, with four more rows in place of the usual ribbon band. At the left side the rlin Is rather rakishly turned up anil caught to the crown with a small brass; button. Cloth trimming upon wraps and gowns of natural color pongee Is rich and effective.

"A milk snake came Into my hack yard the ether day," said a man from Sussex county, N. J., "ami much to my sorrow mi l indignation my hired man grabbed a club and killed It. "If people who livo whore the milk snake abides only knew the possibili ties of that mild-manner, docile crea ture, they wouldn't try to kill every specimen of the species they met. The milk snake would become a great deal more useful and give more pleas ure as a pet than a house cat, If people only would give It the chance. Mice and rats will soon hunt for other quar ters if you let a milk snake Introduce Itself into your household and leave It to Its own methods, and your baby would cease crying if you had a milk snake to amuse it. "We once let one of these snakes re main undisturbed in our house, into which it had come timidly, but confi dently, one day, and it became so tame that It would drink milk out of a cup held in the bands of any member of tho family, and was plainly pleased when It was stroked or fondled. It was an excellent mouser, and our old cat got to be so jealous of the snake that he would bump his back and spit and swear outrageously whenever we petted It or even praised It. "The snake mode all sorts of over tures and attempts to be friends with the cat. but the cat wouldn't have It, and I always thought it was '.he cat that at last imule awy with the snake, although my folks said It was a strange dog that did the deed.

Lighting Hark Halt. A mirror will lighten a dark hall It properly placed. Place the glass op posite a door and the light from that apartment, falling on Uie mirror, Is re flected back from it to, the hall, to its much greater lighting, while the ap parent size of the little place Is greatly Increased. The mirror is unframed, and is fitted in between cornices and baseboard, and finished at the sides with a flat moulding that seems a part of the woodwork. The value of this treatment Is not realized until It Is tried. Often a blank stretch of wall that seems a hopeless shutting In of space may offer the transforming op portunity. Care must be taken not to overdo the treatment In such a way as to create the effect of a hotel corridor or public ball; but judiciously used under the care of a good architect tho plan Is to be commended. New York Journal. Cleaning- a floor. Genuine skill can be exercised in cleaning a floor as In anything else. Af ter the rugs and carpets have been taken up a floor that Is not finished in any other way should be thoroughly scrubbed and dried before it Is cover ed again. It is economy to lay down floors of matched boards of good sea soned wood, which will not warp and show the cracks. After the carpet Is up and tho dust has been thoroughly swept up and has settled, scrub the wood with warm water and sal soda, cleaning and scrubbing about a iquare yard of surface at a time. It pays to have two palls, one of soda and water to scrub the floor with, and one of clear hot water to rinse It up with. Use two cloths, omi to wipe up the floor and tho other to dry with. When the floor Is scrubbed wush and dry these cloths b.-'foro you use them for another cleaning. If the floor is hard wood it would better be dreesed by n regular finisher, as there are few maids In this country w ho are willing or In telligent enough to do thlB work, though this is the regular port of the maid's work abroad, and tho tools fur nished in this country lor tha purpose are much easier to bun lie than those used In Europe.

M. J. Thotilet has investigated the constitution of the ocean bed, and finds that the more deeply it is penetrated the less the proportion of slime and the less calcareous matter. On the other hand, the proportion of sand grains and pure clays increases with the depth. No regularity obtains In the distribution of the non-calcareous min eral grains. This normal distribution appears to be more pronounced the deeper the ocean bed Itself lies below the water surface, but, in any case, the variations due to ocean depth are small. Even In the deepest water the consti tution of the bed shows traces of the conditions prevailing near the surface of the ocean above the bed. The lat ter remark is of Importance, as the au thor points out, when we consider that a complete analysis chemical, me chanical and mlneralogical applied to ancient geological strata Is compe tent to shed a flood of light upon the ancient conditions that prevailed at the surfaces of oceans that have long since disappeared leaving no trace other than their effect on the ancient ocean beds. Experiments on aviation (bird flight) have recently been reported on by the Messrs. Wright to the Western Society of Engineers at a session where Mr. Chanute presided. Some of their con clusions follow: The ratio of the Im pulse to the ascensional force for wing surfaces of the1 best shape is less for angles of Inclination from S degrees to 12 degrees than lor an angle of 3 de grees. Wings are alone necessary, and tails, whether vertical or horizontal, can be done away with. The wings can be so arranged that the body of the experimenter may be horizontal, thus avoiding great resistances. Other con clusions modify those deduced by Ll llenthal In several Important respects. Tho apparatus used by the Messrs. Wright was composed of two large par allel planes with a smaller plane a short distance in front of them, and In such a position that the action of the wind upon It counterbalanced the effect of the displacement of the centre of pressure upon the two principal sur faces. In this way changes of direction and pressure of the wind huve little effect and the whole attention of the experimenter can be given to the man agement of tho machine.

In 1831 Sir Ja.ne Clark Ross reached a position where the dipping needle was only deflected one minute from an absolutely vertical position, but the question has been raised whether the magnetic pole is actually only a point or whether the peculiar ity of the needle assuming a vertical position exten-Js over a large area, and further, whether the magnetic pole changes Its position. With the object of solving these two questions Captain Amundvien has purchased the GJoa, one of the strongest and best sailing vessels of the Norwegian Arc tic fleet, and will start for the north in the spring of 19o3. The Gjoa is to be fitted with a petroleum engine and will carry a crew of seven men.
