The New Art In Jewelry.
The new art In Jewelry Is at present
the accepted style, the flowers being
of the lightest color, emphasized by
Jewels. Fuchsias, lillics of the valley,
mistletoe and leaves and flowers
which seem to have no actuality char
acterize this departure of the present
century.
The Ever-Fashionable Blouse.
The bloune has by no means gone
out of fnshlon. Mai da and youthful
matrons are wearing a neat make In
the daytime, high to the neck, finished
with a collar and stock or a plain or
Spotted scarf of Oriental satin or fou
lard. These shirts have to be beauti
fully cut, and are mostly worn over
a tight-fitting silk or linen slip.
Smart blouses are again being worn
at restaurant lunches, under fur
coats. Nothing fa prettier than soft
Oriental white atln, spotted net or
lace, with a Jabot of lace and net at
the neck.
New Ideas for Sleeves.
Since sleeves have gone up In the
world of fashion, there h no end. to
their airs and graces, to say nothing
of their variety. A fetchlngly grace
ful sleeve has an unusual touch given
It by an arrangement of silk rings,
which are sewed to the upper aide of
the sleeve, from the shoulder to near
the elbow. Through these rings soft
ribbon hj threaded, and Is finished
with long ends and rings. It Is quite
the fad right now, when wearing eith
er an all-white or all-black gown, to
Introduce Just one touch of color, and
to have that In the sleeve. A black
moussellne de sole gown specially ap
proved by Madame La Mode has full
elbow sleeves of the black moussellne,
with black silk rings reaching from
the shoulder to tho elbow threaded
with apple green liberty satin. It Is
only hore In the sleeves that the color
Is introduced, and tho effect Is ex
tremely smart. In this same way a
note of black is added to a White or
pale tinted gown. Woman's Home

College Girl's Idea.
The graduate of a woman's college
who recently was engaged by the New
York Department of Charities as eon
cutting dietitian appears to have dis
covered an entirely new field of en
deavor for members of her sex who
have received a liberal education.
Moreover, It is one in which the pos
sibility of male competition is very
slight
While studying at college, the young
woman realized that it was possible
for her to become an expert on mat
ters of diet, and planned her course to
that end. Though not an executive,
she will noon be one of the most Im
portant officers of that branch of the
city 'government, because she Is sent
npon investigations on everything con
cerning foods, their preparations,
thoir nutriment, and their serving in
(he various institutions. She report
directly to and consults with the com
missioner. fce has studied so as to be practi
cal and scientific, too. She oan cook,
from soups to cake, and she has Prof.
Atwater's food researches at her
' erg' end. Along with old-fashioned
..sekeeping she took up biology,
,..rys1ology, chemistry, and domestic
science. A man would have a hard
time competing with her unless he
was an expert cook and had a good
working knowledge of housewifery.

The English Nurse.
The English nurse Is a woman of
high ideals, patterning herself closely
after such an example as Florence
Nightingale, but, alas, the material
consideration which she receives is
not largo, and, In contrast to the Amer
ican nurse, her recompense in niggard
ly. Since the exposition in Buffalo,
whon hundreds of nurses met from all
parts of the world and the subjects
of common Interest were generally dis
cussed, the English nurses have come
to realize their weakness on the finan
cial side. An asltatlon is being mado
to secure additional privileges before
the law, and the queen herself has
taken up the cause of the war hospital
nurses. The women in this service in
England are more accomplished than
In most other countries, "because of
the policy pursuod by the war office
to appoint only those of 'gentle'
birth." About 800 such, of whom Prin
cess Christian was the moving spirit,
went to South Africa through the
army nursing reserve, and moat of
these women have now returned to the
private walks of life from which they
were recruited.
The English system in general Is
quite unlike that of America, with its
alumnae association connected with
every training school, and it is this
very organization of the nurses in
'America which has established their
financial standing.
The Domestic Little Japs.
Even the highest class Japanese
women, and no matter how rich their
family may be, are brought up to be
able to sow, cook and attend to their
homes.
In Japan the highest class of women
never go to market. The market
cornea to them that Is, the dealers
call and offer their wares for salo at
their customers' drjors. Tho fish mer
chant brings his stork and, If any Is
sold, prepares it for cooking. The
green grocer, tho cake dealer, and,
nowadays, the meat man, all go to
thoir patrons' houses.
Nearly all Japanese women make
their own clothes; at nil events, even
the very rlrhest embroider their gar
ments themselves. Pinner is served
at or a little before dusk the .year
round. A small table about one foot
square and eight Inches hltrh fa set
before each person. On this Is a
lacquer tray, with space for four or
five dlsheR, each four or five inches
In diameter.
There are definite places for each
little bowl and dish. The rice bowl
is on the left, tho soup bowl in the
middle. One's appetite fa measured
according to the number of bowls of
rice one eats. A maid Is at hand with
a large box of rice to replenish the
bowls. If a few grains are left in
tho bottom of the bowl she Is aware
that those citing have had sufficient;
but should one empty his bowl she
would once more fill it. Table Talk.
The Long Skirt.
If women only realized the disas
trous results to their health and that
of thoir posterity, of fads and fash
Ions, and especially feminine vanity,
they would certainly turn over a new
leaf. For instance, the long skirt
From two or throe points cf view this
much-loved feminine appendage Is per.
nlclous. On the atreet It serves as a
collectorf of bacteria, which are car
ried to the homos and deposited on
carpets and In hangings, which latter
serve as Incubators for these deadly
microbes. The braids used to bind
the skirts, and above all those germ
collecting brush braids, which sweep
up and hold within their spongy sur
face diseases of all kinds, are re
sponsible for much illness.
In the second placo women slowly
but most surely deform themselves
boeairae there Is a constant straining
of the ligaments on one side of their
body producing abnormal develop,
monts and a general one-sldeJness
which throws the entire bodv out of
harmony with Its parts. The wrist
also becomes stiff from the strain, and
If the rklrt Is very heavy there is
serious Injury to the internal organs
and consequently a derangement of
the nervous system, which Is decided
ly not "a splendid thing in women."
Portiaps it would not be futile to ap
peal to woman's vanity. I often won
der how they, would feel could they
see the masculine smiles and hear the
remarks that follow In the wake of a
flowing train or street sweeper as
they call them for woman Is surely
not Impervious to the approbation of
the lords of creation.
The skirt is Indeed a serious ques
tion and one that shows little indica
tion of solution. The whole question
rests solely on woman's realization of
the evil. American Queen.
Fashion Note.
Embroidery is very prominent In all
fashions.
Plain pongee Is ideal for simple
shirtwaist suits.
Tea gowns show the sleeve cut In
one with the. shoulder.
Panne crepe de chine is favorite
fabric for evening frocks and gowns.
Fine cloth and serge dresses are
being trimmed with broad lines of
braid. '
For evening cloaks and tea gowns
an attempt is made to revive long nap
plush.
Green, scarlet and cream are much
admired in combination with pongee
colors.
The career of the tassel continues
unchecked, and is worn on hat and
gown alike.
Dark green plalj for street wear is
decidedly popular for maids and youth
ful matrons.
Fancy weaves in pongee in heavy
weights will be forthcoming for walk
ing and traveling.
Plaited coats will accompany many
of these rigs, being mostly in shor?
three-quarter length.
A vest of embroidery In blues or
dull orange linen is exceedingly effec
tive and smart for a blse voile gown.
Splendid embroidery, mostly is a
harmonizing shade, will fairly cover
some deep collars and garnish the
rest of the dress.
The proper angle for the hat aig
rette Is lying on top of the crown from
tho back toward tho front, not stand
ing in military fashion, as formerly.
The new stole yoke reaches two
thirds of the distance from chin to
waist It is open and double, the two

of gold-colored gauze over orange
silk, and it fills In the cut out front

How a Lark Learned.
A baby lark had got but of Its nest
sideways, a fall of. a foot only, but a
dreadful drop for a baby.
"You can get back this way," Its
mother said, and showed it the way.
But, when the baby tried to leap, it
fell on its back. Then tho mother
marked out lines on tho ground, on
which it was to practise hopping; and
it got along beautifully so long as the
mother was there every moment to
say, "How wonderfully you hop!"
"Now teach me to hop up," said the
little lark, meaning that it wanted to
fly; and the mother tried to do it in
vain. She could soar up, up, very
bravely; but she could not explain how
she did it.
"Watt till the sun comes out after
rain," she said, half remembering.
"What is sun? What is rain?" the
little bird asked. "If you cannot teach
me to fly, teach me to sing.
"When the sun comes out after rain,
then you can sing."
The rain came, and glued the little
bird's wings together.
"I shall never be able to fly or to
sing!" It walled.
Then, of a sudden, it had to blink
its eyes; for a glorious light had
spread over tne world, catching every
leaf and twig and blade of grass in
tears, and putting a smile into every
tear. The baby bird's breast swelled,
it did not know why; it fluttered from
the ground, It did not know why.
"Tho sun has come out after rain!"
it trilled. "Thank you, sun! Thank
you! O mother, did you hear me? I
can sing!"
Then it floated up, up, calling,
"Thank you! thank you!' thank you!"
to the sun. "O mother, do you see
me? I am flying." Christian Register.
Ants That Raise Crops.
Recent study of ants has added an
other to the many Tacts that show
Xhat strange intelligence these tiny
Insects possess. This latest discovery
is that some species actually plant and
raise their own crops.
The big leaf-cutting ant of the trop
ics Is the most proficient species in
the agricultural line. These ants visit
plants and cut little fragments out ot
the leaves. Sometimes they will' ruin
a whole plantation over night, leaving
the plants with ragged fragments of
their foliage.
Until recently it has been supposed
that the leaf-cutters ate the pieces of
leaf. But now it is known that they
carry the fragments to their mounds,
where they chew them over and over,
moistening them at the same time
with acid secretions, until they have
made a soft, spongy mass. This is
kneaded and' worked over and over
again until it is a big heap full of
small holes and pores.
In this spongy mass the ants depos
it the spores of a certain fungus,
which forms the greater part of their
food supply. Different species of ants
have different species of fungus. Tho
most highly developed of them all is
grown by a Brazilian ant. It Is known
as the Rozltcs gangilophora. This
fungus is very rich and full of albu
men, which is particularly loved by
the ants.
To produce the most albumen the
fungus must not be permitted to flow
er. Of course this is a simple matter,
well known to every florist and agri
culturist But it certainly is wonder
ful that ants should have learned it. It
makes it seem almost certain that they
are possessed of powers of reason, for
they attend to the pruning of the fun
gus stems and suckers just as careful
ly as a human planter would.
As soon as the fungus begins to
grow it sends out fine threadlike
stems into the air. If these are al
lowed to grow they will finally bear
flowerets. But the ants do not permit
them to grow. They keep certain
members of their colonies busy biting
them off the moment they appear. Af
ter pruning them for a short time the
fungus begins to develop little swell
lugs, which are particularly rich in al
bumen. After being cultivated lor a
few months the little swelling are
found everywher around the bottom of
the pile. San FrancUco Chronicle.
Ruth's "Thank You" Letter.
Ruth skipped to the door to see what
the mall-carrier was bringing. Then
came a delighted squeal, and she
danced back, her eyes shining as she
tore the envelope, and something "fat
an soft" fell out
"Oh! oh I Look, mother! A lace
handkerchief for me, and I never had
one before. And here's a note, and It
ays, 'For my dear niece Ruth, from
her Aunt Mary, with her love In every
one of the stitches.' "
"It is a beauty," said mother. "Yon
will want to write and thank aunty for
it, and you surely ought to send a
very nice letter for such a pretty pres
ent Soo If you can make every letter
right, Just as aunty did every stitch."
Ruth was seven, and had learned to
wilto so well that her father, who was
a traveling man, was very proud of the
letters his llttlo girl sent him. He al
ways kept them, and carried them
around In his vest pocket. She knew
about capitals and periods and com
mas. She could spell the words In the
First Reader, and some In tho Second
Reader, too. When she wrote, every
letter was round like chubby Ruth her
self, and as plain as print. "Verdlggle
writing." explained Ruth.
"My 'thank you' le'.ter's all done,"
nounced Ruth, with a tired sigh. "I'll
read It to you, mother; and you tell
mo If It's nice enough to send to aunty
for tha dear, lovely, beautiful handker
chief." Then Ru;h read this aloud:
"Dear Aunty. The map you sent mo
is the sweetest one I ever had In all
my life. It Is too pretty to use, so I
am going to stick It In the front of my
best dress, tho way mother docs hers.
I send you my love and a big, big
'thank you,' and this nice, round kiss.
Your loving niece, RUTH.
"Did I hear you read 'map?' ex
claimed Mrs. Seymour; and she lifted
the letter for a look.
"Oh, well, course it waa a handker
chief," said Ruth, cheerfully, but I
put map on purpose, 'cause you said
this had to be a nice letter, and I must
got every word right. Ana I didn't know
how to spell handkerchlof and I did
know how to spell 'map,' so I put map.
But map'll be all right," declared Ruth
with confidence, " 'cause aunty knows
what she sent me, course she does."
So Ruth's 'thank you' letter was
sent Just as It was; and aunty knew
what Ruth meant of course she did
and was delighted to see that her
young niece had spelled every word
exactly right Youth's Companion.
A Wonderful Power Plant
A large amount of power can be ob
tained from falling water In two dif
ferent ways. Pressure on a water
wheel depends both on the volume o!
the fluid and the distance It can drop.
At Niagara, for instance, there Is an
Inexhaustible supply, but a "head" of
scarcely more than lop feet. Some of
the projects for getting power from
the tides have contemplated a fall of
only three or four feet. If, however,
there is an opportunity for a great
change of level, only a small quantity
of water is needed. Tho most striking
Illustration that the world has yet
seen of this latter combination is af
forded at Vouvry, Switzerland, where
provision is how being made to obtain
10,000 horse-power from a head of only
half a mile!
Vouvry is in tho extreme western
part of Switzerland, a little south ol
the lake of Geneva. Near by Is a tiny
lake named Tanay, too small to ap
pear on any but the large maps ot the
country. The outlet of that body of
water flows In an easterly direction
and empties Into the Rhone before the
latter discharges into the lake of Ge
neva. The overflow from Tanay is not
copious, but since the mountainous
character of the region renders possi
ble a long as well as steep descent, it
Is feasible to obtain striking results
from it by following the plan ot which
the Niagara plant was the first exam
ple. In other words, by means of tur
bine water wheels and suitable dyna
mos, power Is to be derived In the
form electricity for distribution over
an extensive neighborhood.
Lake Tanay has an extent of about
111 acres, or less than one-fifth of a
square mile. The drainage area which
fills it is not quite three square miles.
At a lower level this would be only a
good-sized pond, capable of running an
able-bodied sawmill or grist mill, but
nothing more. Tanay is 4644 feet high
er than the sea, however, and 8117 feet
higher than the adjacent power station
in Vouvry. Its waters, therefore, give
a head of fully three-fifths of a mile.
When first drawn from the lake by
a horizontal tunnel 85 feet below the
UBual level of its surface, the water en
ters a big well, 100 feet deep. It is
then conducted through a series of
passages, some called "tunnels" and
others known as "conduits." Alto
gether the distance traversed Is about
12,000 feet, or nearly two and a half
miles. For the first half ot the way
the grade is a gentle one, the fall cor
responding to only 5 percent of the
length of the channel. For the re
mainder of the distance 6360 foet
the descent is very much more rapid,
the difference of level here amounting
to 2952 feet. The uppermost third of
this second stage ot the fall Is con
ducted through a steel pipe nearly 20
inches in diameter. The conduit then
divides Into two branches, 13.4 Inches
in outside diameter and 42C0 feet long.
The pressure at the lower part of the
system Is estimated at 10,66 pounds
to the square inch almost as great as
the force exerted by the explosion of
powder in a cannon. The efficiency of
the water depends upon this. Hence
the pipe along the lower part of the
route possesses exceptional strength.
It is made without a rivet and by
hand welding, from the best open
hearth steel.
At the powor station it is proposed
to install 20 500 horse-power turbines
and to employ each one to drive a dyn
amo ot the ame capacity. Four seta
of machinery are already in service,
four more are now being set up, and
the remaining 12 will be introduced
gradually as occasion requires.

and this can only be done with a very
sharp Instrument. The vase should bo
Kept perfectly clean, and this can be
done by washing with hot water and
plenty of soap. A small piece of char
coal placed In the bottom of the vase
will help keep the blossoms fresh for
many days. The water must be
changed every day. If the rase be
of clear glass a pinch of borax may
take the place of the charcoal.
The Dinner Plates.
As styles are continually changing
with reference to the kind of plate to
he used with the various courses of a
formal dinner, a little expert advice
on this point from a large importer
of One china is of interest "When
the guests take their chairs," he says,
"they should find at each place a
large, flat plate of a rich, full colored
Oriental design. With the soup come
a handsome, plain plate, with medal
lions In green and gold by way of on
nament. Tho fish plate is as ornate
with shells, seaweed, swimming fish
nnd other marine devices as it Is pos
sible to make It The meat plate
should be plain, except for a border
of color or gold. A rich, conventional
design is allowable on the entreoplate
while the game plate is decorated ac
cording to nature, with pictures of
game as wonderful and complete as
the tnste of the hostess and the purse
of the host may dictate. The salad Is
served on plates whereon flowers, con
ventionalized, appear, while gold and
the richest blues, reds and greens
Should meet in tho dessert plate. The
return to simplicity is noted in the
coffee service, where the plates should
have only one or two borders of color,
set off by a little gold filigree. New

omical Society, a demonstration ot the
pressure of light waves. The appara
tus was an hour glass vacuum tube,
which contained ome carbon sponge
dust of particles only one or two mi
crons In diameter, the chamber having
been very carefully exhausted to as
high a vacuum as possible. When
the dust was allowed to fall from the
upper to the lower chamber In a pow

ticles were seen to fall vertically, while
the finer ones fell out of plumb and
away from the light. The angle of
deviation was stated to be about that

The First Book of Laws.
Th.e well-known Assyrlologlst, Dr,
Hugo Winckler, of England, has pub
Ushed an account of the legislation
promulgated by King Amraphel of
Babylon, which, so far as is known at
present, was the first book of laws
ever given to tho world. King Am
raphal lived 2.500 years B. C, and is
mentioned in the Bible as a contem
porary of Abraham, so that his stat
utes were drawn up fully live centur
ies before the laws of Moses. They
number 282 and contain the follow
ing: "If a woman who sells bever
ages gives bad value for the money
paid her, she shall be thrown into
water. If a wife be a spendthrift, or
if she otherwise neglect her duties,
her husband may put her away with
out compensation; but if a man put
away his wife for no other reason
than that she has no children, he shall
return her whole dowry. It a betroth
al be rescinded, the man rball pay
the woman compensation. A widow
with grown-up children may not marry
again without purmlsttlon from a
hypothesis.
