Put In Claim for a Million.
Mrs. Edmund Rico has put in a
claim at the war department for $1,
000,000. It seems that the devlre era
ployed by the army since the civil war
for rolling tip and carrying shelter
tents Is claimed by Mrs. Rice as her la
vention, upon which she now claims
the royalty. Mrs. Rice Is the wife of a
colonel of volunteers now stationed in
the Philippines.
Antique Lac Blouses.
'All. over lace blouses are very pret
ty, made of antique insertion. These
are made over white taffeta or liberty
Ilk, and the insertion is put together
with narrow beading. Usually in these
blouses two patterns of lace are usad,
one being broader than the other. The
wfdo insertion. is used in the middle of
the front and on either side of the
back, the fastening being here. Th
narrow lace is used on the sides aad
for the collar.
. Ostrich Feather Fashionable.
The picture hats are not" complete
without ostrich plumes. They are gen
erally Been at their best in tlac.k or
black and white. The curtain effect
arrived at by lace of plaiting of black
velvet Is getting ks exaggerated, and
women are distinctly tired of the shep
herdess shape, either large or small. In
reality it suits so few people and it has
become too universally adopted by the
multitude to bo any longer considered
worthy of attention by the leading
milliners.
'A White Dinner Gown.
Ivory white gowns are exceedingly
fashionable. A smart model is of ivory
eolienno trimmed with lace and appli
cations of flowered silk and guipure.
The skirt Is supplied with a moderately
long train and is shaped by the use of
groups of tucks, which run down each
aide of the garment. The applications
of silk and guipure outline a flounce
and form a border for the bem of the
skirt. On the bodice tucks springing
from the belt give fullness to the up
per part of the waist front which is
covered by lace applications mingled
With those of silk. The short sleeves
are finished with deep flounces of plait
ed white chiffon and knotted with
black velvet ribbons. Loops of narrow
black velvet ribbon are draped about
the neck to form the collar. A wide
girdle of silk encircles the waist.
A Doctor's Dictum.
A woman' complexion and the keep
ing of her youth are two subjects
which never grow stale, says Woman's
Life, however much they may be writ
ten about. For this reason I offer no
apology for referring to the subject
here, in order to quote what one of the
popular scientific writers has been say
ing. He believes that we should all be
far better if we ate less. "Eat less,
drink lees, do everything lens, but eat,
drink and do what you like," Is Indeed
the dictum of Sir Francis leaking, the
King's physician, as a formula for liv
ing long and healthfully. The writer In
question believes that those who live
beyond the accepted seventy are, as a
rule, those who have lived in a very
pare manner, and a spare life is what
which prevents a woman growing fat
at forty when the pleasures of the
table begin to compensate her for other
pleasures which she has to put aside.
Dainty Separate Waists.
Many spring walking costumes show
touch of heavy lace or silk embroid
ery on the Jacket, and when this is so,
it is the fad to have the same lace or
embroidery Introduced in the hat worn
with It
Crepe de chine, peau de crepe and
crepe de Paris are all being made up
right now into the daintiest little sep
arate waists, which are. Just the thing
to help out the wardrobe at this partic
ular season of the year. These waists
are all elaborately trimmed. They are
tucked, hand embroidered and lace
trimmed. Many times they are dec
orated with lace dyed exactly to match
the crepe de chine or whatever the soft
fabric is in color, and then again strik
ing effects are produced by lining a
cream-tinted Cluny lace with black
chiffon. Embroidered lace worked in
gay colors is also used as a trimming
for white or block crepe waists. On
. these waists tassels are also conspic
uous. They frequently form the finish
the deep lace tabs.
To Pink or Not to Pink.
Borne time since there might have
been a question whether we were to
pink or not to pink. It has been set
tled: We are pinked.
It begins on bata. Whole bats are
made of narrow frills of pinked taffeta.
This mode is likewise greatly favored
for brim facings.
For baby clothes pinking 1 usually
more or less in demand when the ma
terials used for cloaks and hats ar
heavy enough to endure it.
a for petticoats, w still so any
number of tiny ruches with pinked
edges, and pink crops up in many other
ilk and cloth garments, while It's a
ataad-by in fancy work.
But it's not of th old-time sort Our
mothers wer given to big scallop pat .
ttrns with saw-teetk edges. No longer
do we see the scallops. Pinking now
hows us naught but its teeth. These
saw-teeth points continue the uneven
tenor of their jagged way along
Straight edges, especially for ruches
and the over-lapping frills used for
building hats. Occasionally the old
time sort is seen for the edging of col
lars and sleeves on wrappers, both for
youngsters and grown-ups. Philadel
phia Record.
Engagement Etiquette.
The conventions to be observed by
couples engaged to be married are not
so'many, neither are they difficult but
they are important.
All the world loves a lover and
equally well does the world love to re
mark the doings of engaged lover.
After the consent of the parents has
been gained to the union the next
most Importat step is in the giving of
the engagement ring. This is usually
a solitaire, though there is no par
ticular rule governing the significant
gift.
The young woman's mother sends
out the first announcement of the en
gagement, or if she is so unfortunate
as not to have a, mother, this respon
sibility rests upon the nearest relative.
Frequently the young lady writes
notes to all Of her friends telling them
privately the date on which her en
gagement will be publicly announced.
Fashion decrees that the smart man
ner in which to make known an en
gagement is to have is announced at
a dinner. At this dinner only the en
gaged couple ad the most intimate aad
influential friends of the family ar
asked.
Friends who have been informed ol
the date of announcement usually
call on that day to tender congratu
lations, the young woman holding aa
informal reception.
It Is the duty of all friends upon re
ceiving a notico of an engagement to
call upon the bride-to-be or send con
gratulatory notss. Those who attend
the Informal recaption also plan din
ners, teas or dances for the newly be
trothed. To bo ultra-fashionable, a wedding
follows closely upon the announce
ment of an engagement This, how
ever, does net prevent the existence
of a secret understanding between the
lovers for any lenwth of time they wish.
Six months is really the limit of
time of elapse between the announce
ment and the wedding. During this
period all the friends have an op
portunity to entertain the young wom
an and her fiance and she is treated
to one continual round of pleasure be
fore the auspicious event occurs.
Once they are betrothed, some fath
ers and mothers allow an engaged cou
ple to do pretty much as they please.
Certain formalities of conduct, how
ever, should always be strictly ob
served. For instance, any outward display of
affection is the acme of poor taste, and
nothing invitee censure or criticism
quicker.
Good taete and a sense of propriety
on the part . of the betrothed help
them to decide what and what not to
do.
The love gifts which are exchanged
during tlie courtship may be almost
unlimited. After the engagement re
strictions regarding the making of
presents is raised to a great extent.
Of .course, articles of clothing or
gifts of money are never permitted be
fore marriage, but pretty trinkets of
all kinds are in good taste.
The expenses of the wedding at
both the church and house are borne
by the parents of the bride.
The luncheon given by the bride
elect to her attendants is as smart an
affair as possible, and each attend
ant should be presented with a little
gift of some kind. New York News.
Fastrlon Notes.
Buttons vie with stitching for dec
orative purposes.
The flounce for wool gowns has al
most entirely disappeared.
Pongee underskirts are to be th
height of vogue this summer.
The unllned skirt is in the majority
among the less expensive tailor gowns
this year.
Mohair gowns, .made in all respects
like cloth ones, are to be exceedingly
fashionable this season.
Laces of the same shade as the gowa
are considered much smarter than eith
er white or ecru as a trimming.
There seems to be no escape from the
low-crowned flat hat This shape is
quite "prominent among the spring ex
hibits. Cart-wheel pearl buttons are to have
a wide vogue for adorning swagger
"tub" gowns of the heavier sort this
summer.
f Ample e'drts and wide draped
sleeves Impress one at once when view
ing the latest showings of coming
dress models.
The newest fad is to have the white
or bluck facings for a jacket braided
in soutache braid, white for Dlack or
black for white.
A distinguishing feature of th
spring tailor gowns Is the great favor
shown the light, airy etamlnes, mis
trals and twine cloths.
Loops will be conspicuously absent
from the back of summer sashes. They
will be held in place by buttons that
are marvels of the Jeweler's and gold
smith's art,
The new skirt models that are con
sidered beat style swing backward in a
most fascinating manner. Front pan
els, high yokes, and plaits in som
form, yet not wholly a plaited skirt,
are the most noticeable designs.
SCIENCE NOTES.
The most delicate scale is made by
fixing one end of a fine thread of
glass. The atom to be weighed) is
placed at the free end and the degree
of the bending of the thread under It
noted. This has to be done undor a
glass which magnifies 100 times.
A plausible explanation of the fact
noted by Marconi that ethergrams
travel farther by night than by day Is
that of M. Joly, quoted by I Nature.
The waves constituting the message
were sent from west to east, and
would therefore be traveling, during
the day, against the earth current
from England, while by night they
would be traveling with that current

How high do birds fly? Is an unset
tled question in ornithology, and re
cently the Gorman Ornithological so
ciety requester aeronauts engaged in

aid of balloons, to observe the various
heights at which birds are found. It
is not to satisfy more curiosity that
the information Is desired, for the
question ot tho elevation of the tracks
pursued by birds when migrating has

6000 and 700O feet.
Shaking Germs to Death.
Science stands aghast at the latest
germ theory. It comes from an emi
nent bacteriologist of London. It is
nothing more nor less than the an
nouncement that germs can be shak
en to death. Test tubes laden with
gorra life have been oscillated nt the
rate of 180 shakes a minute, when the
"bacillus Bie)thorlm ," or elephant
germ, the all-going ring champion of
setm life, has given up the ghost.
There woms to be no question but
that the theory works out all right
in the laboratory.
The practical application Is not so
clear. Will science now selxe the disease-laden
Rufferor and oscillate him
until his head swims? Or will the
doctors act on the theory of the old
woman's fly killer, and grab the dis
ease germs one nt a time and shake
the life out of them? Perhaps the
poor consumptive may bo put to skip
ping the rope, or the diphtheria suf
ferer to throwing flip-flops. Then,
attain, trains on certain railroad not
ed for unevenly balanced tracks, flat
wheels, and a general reputation for
jolting the life out of its 'riders may
reap untold millions for the stock
holders when they are converted into
germ-shaking health resorts. Instead
of thp Knelpp cure, one may now ex
pect to see people in the parks rolling
down hill to cure themselves of dis
eases. Apparently, science has not
yet eolved the problem of applica
tion. Accepting this theory, one would
suppose that engineers and elevator
men would live forever, or at least
would only die of old age or by acci
dent. Statistics do not bear out this
contention. Philadelphia Inquirer. '
A Whale's Appetite.
A whale's nppotlte is phenomenal.
His chief diet ronslBts of Jollyfish. lie

dle along lolsurely In order to take in
jellyfish by the wagon load. Such is
the method adopted by the whale-bone
whale. The sperm whale, on the con

often several tons. Like his brother
the whalebone wbalo, bo miwt be con
stantly on tho lookout for food; oth
erwise he would starve. As many as
14 seals have been taken from a 30
foot "killer." Other fluhea of enor
mous appetite are not uncommon. The
blueDsh, for examplo, thrive on ear
dines and other small fish. Assuming
that one blueflsh eats 10 small fish a
day, it has been figured that it re
quires 70,000 millions sardines to feed
the 1000 million blueflsh on our
coasts every summer. Most curious
