Rainy Day Petticoat.
A Eew rainy day petticoat, for use
with any walking suit, is black, and
has a deep flounce, interlined with
crinoline and faced with velveteen.
The Newest Underskirt.
One of the latest designs in black
taffeta underskirts has the flounce
tucked horizontally and perpendicul
arly with machine stitching of white
silk.
Itearly-to-Wear IfAtfl.
Many of the latest ready to wear
i t, hats are trimmed with white, gray cr
4 black wings. These are especially well
adapted for the sides of the new
tricorner walking hats.
Good KufSes Should Be Bought.
F A good tulle or silk ruffle which Is
going cheap is by no means to be de
spised, for when one tries to make it
, at home she is surprised at the end
less yards of stuff it takes and the
hopelessly heavy effect obtained. So
those who want a ruflie should go to
the sales and purchase one.
Unllned Waists.
The tucked silks, chiffon and muslin
are a boon to the woman who can use
her needle,as the blouse is now quite
fashionable without lining and is easily
made from a good pattern. The sleeves
are in one part, with the seam from
elbow only, aud the blouse is in three
parts. None of the tucks is disturbed
by this fashion of cut, aud any yoke
or insertions can be readily arranged
by tacking the lace out on the pat
tern.
Elaborate New Sleeves.
Apropos of the new sleeves they are
t more elaborate than ever, and in such
an infinite variety of tasteful designs
that it would seem Impossible to work
out a fashion that would not be fash
ionable; and all sorts of odds and ends
-of lace, embroidery and fancy mate
rials can he utilized in these beautiful
sleeves. But many of the newest end
at, or just below, the elbow, so as
to allow a line display of the under
sleeve, that either flows in an open
flounce or ends at the wrist in a band
of embroidery or lace. One may have
many different sets of these under
sleeves, thereby varying the finish of
a few gowns of good texture aud fault
less cut into an elaborate richness.—

Perfect Tasto in Choosing Clothes.
It was said of the now sorrowful
Eugenie of France that no one ever
sakl: "How superbly the Empress Is
-dressed," but always: "How beautiful
she is to-night." Yet no one ever wore
more costly garments at the French
- court. The materials were of the most
A delicate texture, the lace was perfec
tion, the cut and design those which
only au artist could produce, but they
were always subordinate to the wearer.
She was never overladen with jewels
—she never bought things because they
were expensive—she chose what suited
the occasion and set forth her own
exceeding charm. To-day her feeble
figure Is still elegaut, and her faded,
sorrow -lined face still has charm, and
even her widow's mournful garb is
strikingly suitable aud full of grace.—
The Ledger Monthly.
How to Wear Kings.
The growing fancy for wearing an
abundance of rings during the day
time as well as for evening affairs
makes special care of the gems they
Incase very necessary.
If you want your rings to last well,
do not wear them under gloves. That
is what a prominent jeweler says.
But if you decide that gloves are a ne
.w~ cessity, as probably you will, he addr
' then send your riugs twice a year to
be overhauled.
The reason for this warning is that
the constant friction cf the gloves
wears the tiny points that hold the
stones' In place, and the result is that
the stones fall out uulcss tlicy are con
,tantly looked utter. The wearer might
■not detect a loose stone, hut a jeweler
would at once, and by a little timely
intervention might prevent the loss of
a valuable gem.—Washington Star.
The Caro of the Hair.
At night before retiring brush the
bail' carefully and braid it loosely In
a number of strands. Avoid wetting
the hair too often to make it glossy,
as the wetting has a tendency to make
the huir coarse. Avoid putting the hair
up in kids at night to wave it. They
lire more harmful than even ihe rnuch-
Iw abused curling iron, as the hair is
v twisted about the kid so tightly that it
actually wears It out. uud a bald spot is
apt to be the result.
There is a new sort of shnmpoo just
now much in favor with women of
1 fashion. It is known as the perfume
1 shampoo. It consists of sprinkling the
hair with orris powder, leaving the
fragrant powder on long enough to col
; lect the dust and oil, aud then giving
the hair a vigorous brushing. The or
ris shampoo when thus taken is quite
harmless and leaves the hair with just
f at subtle perfume about It.—Woman's
Home Companion.
Making Calls by Telephone.
"Formal calls," said a society woman
| .yesterday, "are becoming obsolete. I
| mean the running in of an afternoon,
a chatting for live or ten minutes, leav
ing your cards, rushing off to the next
" place on your list, and then expecting
I Aliese women to do the same thing
* SH O you, and praying you may be out
when they call.
Hi "I make nearly all my calls now
m ver tile 'phone. It is so much more
Comfortable, and saves such a lot of
time and bother. I just sit down in my
own home and call up Mrs, Jones In
her home. I owe her a call. If she is
in she comes to the 'phone, and, al
though I may have nothing in partic
ular to talk to her about, we chatter
away for several minutes, and before
I ring off I impress upon her the
fact that I am returning her call, and
that she needn't expect me to come
in person. She laughs and thinks it's
all right, and then pays some of the
calls she owes in the same way. It
really does away with a great nui
sance."—Philadelphia Record.
A Sunny Presence.
If you had asked her about her ac
complishments she would have told you
that she had none, and would have
been quite sincere in her answer. She
did not know how to play a piano and
had never tried her hand at water
colors or crayon sketching. She had
never found time for embroidery. She
got off the key when she tried to sing.
In fact, one might run through the list
of what are called accomplishments,
without naming one at which she was
an expert. Yet this sunny faced, sweet
voiced girl had one accomplishment
which outweighed all those she lacked.
Wherever she went gloomy faces grew
cheerful. She was a happiness maker.
Children slopped fretting when she
came near. Old people came back
from their dreams of the past and
found the present sweet. Without be
ing wise or witty or beautiful, there
was an atmosphere of peace about her
like the fragrance of n flower. Her
smile had the comforting warmth of
sunshine. The tones of her glad young
voice stirred the heart like a song.—

THE WORDS IN A LEAD PENCIL.
Kngeulou* Calculittlou uf a New Orlenni
Statistician.
Some one has been calculating the
number of words in a lead pencil, and
he has published the result in an Or
leans paper. "I have," he says, "been
figuring on the possibilities of words in
a lead pencil, and you would be sur
prised to know what a man can do with
one lead pencil. How many words arc
there in a lead pencil? How many
columns of newspaper matter? How
many page 3 In a book of the average
size? In the first place, the average
pencil is seven laches long. The aver
ago diameter of the pencil used by men
who write a great deal is one-twelfth
of an Inch. Considering the wood
and lead the point of a pencil measures
abort one-half of an inch, one-quarter
of an inch representing the lead por
tion.
"Allowing for breaks and scratches,"
continues this Ingenious statistician,
"one-quarter of an inch of lead will
write two columns of matter for the
ordinary newspaper, assuming that the
pencil is not of the extreme soft char
acter. There are about 1800 words in
a full column of a newspaper of the
average size. Two columns would rep
resent 0000 words. So we get this num
ber of words out of one-quarter of
an inch of lead. Out of an inch of lead
we would get four times fili'JO, or 14,-10 C
words. Out of seven inches we would
get 100,800 words. So far as the num
ber of words is concerned we have in
this result the possibilities of the lead
pencil. Allowing ISOO words to the
column, this would mean fifty-six col
umns of solid matter, or an eight
page papei of seven columns to the
page.

says:
••I recently met an Englishman who
told me he had been interested in a

The refrigerator idea had not yet

Aquarium on the Ocean.
It is not uncommon for trees to be
torn up by the great storms that break
over tropical countries and swept out
to sea. A vessel being becalmed in
the Bay of Bengal the sailors spent
their time in studying tlie wonders of
the deep. An object floating at some
distance from the ship was thought to
he a turtle. When tliey rowed up to it,
however, it turned out to be a tree
upside down in the water. Swimming
in and about the leafless branches were
innumerable fishes of every descrip
tion, from two to nine inches long,
many beautifully colored. Outside of
the branches a ring of dolphins were
keeping watch and ward in the hope of
gobbling up any fishes foolish enough
to leave their harbor of refuge, while
a still oittei circle was composed of
here and there a shark, waiting for
their chances. One sailor said he had
never seen a lovelier or more remarka
ble spectacle. The sea was perfectly
calm and clear, and overhead the sun
shone brilliantly. The tree must have
been waterlogged for many weeks, be
cause it was covered with barnacles
and all kinds ot shells.
TVlnrle and Her Frenoli Leiioii.
She was such a dainty little creature,
Just three and a half years old. Her
brother Henri was seven years old.
Life was all joyous sunshine to little
Marie, save for the days that were
darkened by the visit of the professor
to give Instruction iu Frenth to her
and her brotaher.
After due deliberation she decided to
rebel. At the hour for the French les
son Marie could not be found. Henri
looked in every room and closet in the
house, then went over the ground
again, finally through a sudden inspir
ation he looked under the set tubs in
the laundry; there she was', poor little
thing, screwed up in a knot to make
herself as small as possible so as to
escape observation.
"Marie, mamma says to come nt
once, the professor is waiting to give
us our lesson."
"No, Henri, you do it; I tan't do it, 1
won't turn."
"But," said Henri, "you must come."
"I tau't do It, Henri, I tan't do if
then, as she saw 110 relenting—"well,
you do, I turn pitty soon," she replied,
tears in her voice.
Henri went away to his lesson.
Their father, coming down stairs soon
after, saw Marie, head down, the
French primer under her right arm,
her left hand on the balustrade, and,
cautiously creeping back, he listened
to this soliloquy: "I tan't do it, why
don't Henri do it? O Dod, I wis 'twas

An Ingeniouit Hear Trap.
The Mexicans in California had an
ingenious method of trapping hears
before the advent of the Yankees
brought modern firearms into the re
gion. A piece of meat was nailed to
the stout horizontal limb of an oak
tree. From a limb five or six feet
above a rope was suspended, to the
end of which a large stone was made
fast so that it hung about six inches
above and a trifle nearer the truuk
than the meat 011 tlie lower limb.
When a bear smelt the meat from
afar he would climb up the tree aud
make his way to the meat. In doing
so lie would push the stone pendulum
to oue side. Just as he was about to
fasten his teeth in the meat the stone
would swing back and bang his head.
This would rouse the anger of the bear
and he would give the stone a sweep
of his paw which would send it swing
ing further out. The consequence was
a harder hang and more anger. The
more he struck the stone the hardei
he would he hit in return, until, from
ferocious anger, lie would lose Ins cau
tion and attack the pendulum with all
his vigor. One powerful sweep, then,
hang, and bruin would lie tumbled out
of the tree to tli'e rocks below, where,
disabled by his fall, he would be at
the mercy of those who set the trap
whenever they chose to take hiin.
THAT WHICH WAS LOST.
A lover said "I do not hate the years
That touch to gray the softness of her
hair,
For me remembrance leaves the sunlight
there.
"I love the lines that colder eyes than
mine
Read on the spirit fairness of her face.
The soul's handwriting tells its inward
grace.
"But once around her beauty, still so dear,
Blew an enchanted air; a mystery
That shook my heart, but kept its own
from me.
"There was a secret hidden in her eves;
And in her voice one note I thrilled to
hear.
Have the years slain it, ere I read it
clear?"
Even as he spoke, her soft eyes met his
own
And answered. For behind their love
and truth
Shone the lost magic and immortal youth.

cure indigestion and all its attendant evils, but was
rapidly going from bad to worse, when I had the good
fortune to be recommended to take Vogeler's Com
pound. I did so, and am thankful to say it made a
new man of me. I should luc other people to know
its virtues, and how completely if knocks under the
worst forms of indigestion and dispepsia.
