About The Plnc-PonK Waist. The ping-pong shirt waist has ar rived. It is made in various stuffs, wash silks principally, but the pret tiest model yet shown is of pongee, ' tucked and stitched, the stitching done in silk of a contrasting color. The stock and cravat are of pongee, but the ends of the latter are ornamented with a ping-pong bat and ball, em broidered in colored silk. Sometimes the deep, turned-back cuffs are simi larly adorned. Women's Hutu Over the Face. Most of the new models come well forward over the brow, but a few here and there are intended to be worn off the face. One of these in yellow straw rests on a band of black velvet run ning round the front and curving back behind the ears. This is concealed by a row of medium-sized pink muslin roses, except in the centre, where a bow of black velvet is Introduced. Outside are several lurger roses, with . leaves made up into a wreath, with points of black lace. Four of these points compose a butterfly bow at the back, fastened iu the centre by a ea bochon made of straw braids.—Millin ery Trade Review. Indian Clvls at a Santa Fe School. The manual part of tlicir instruction Is housewifery. They learn to make their blue gingham gowns. They prick their unaccustomed, little, nboriginal fingers with needles and the threads grow red from the Wood that trickles from their wounds. They learn to wash and to iron. Even a knowledge of fluting is not denied them. They are taught, the difficult art of bed-mak ing in the long white dormitories where they take their institutional sleep. They learn to cook American dishes iu the American fasliiop. Oatmeal, hash, mashed potatoes and pie take the place of tile jrijoles and the roots they knew I about the tepee. But the Indian girls learn to sew for their Paris dolls. They have toy tubs, toy clothes horses, toy Ironing boards and boards that mademoiselles' fine frilled garments may always be kept immaculate and et'isp. They have tiny sewing boxes that her ladyship's be longings may be kept in fair repair, anil one of the quaintest sighls in the Santa Fe school i 9 that of the small Indian damsel withdrawn from the games of her companions making doll clothes in the latest fashion.—Ainslee's Magazine. Fashion** In Jewels. Never lias the cult of the Jewel been studied with greater zest than it is at present, let alone the fact that jewelry is more worn than ever, and that there is immense scope for the skill of the I designer. It is a fad of the owners of " fine gems to have them reset occasion ally, working out tile designs them selves. Louis Quiuze and Louis Seize designs are the genres of the moment, and lend themselves particularly well to the setting of the diamonds and em eralds. while the large eaboclions are likewise very much in vogue aud give a piquancy to a dainty aud elaborate piece of bijouterie. The huge single emerald is effective in rings, while for tiie corsage all sorts of birds, fern and flower designs are to be seen. The prettiest style of coif fure ornament for the regular featured type of face is the little circular ban deau formed of minute, multi-colored gems with a large pearl or diamond Just on the forehead. It gives u dis tinctly Egyptian effect. Enamelled wreaths sparkling with su occasional diumoud like a drop of dew in among the leaves are charming. , They require that the hair should be coitte to the very best advantage—so arranged, in fact, that the wreath nes tles becomingly into it and does not stand out aggressively. The very latest use to which Jewels are being put is for the enriching of old laces. As a matter of fact, the idea of supplementing a really exquisite flounce of old lace with anything at all, even though it be with priceless gems, seems at first thought almost heresy, but only those who linvc seen this gem-set lace can judge how beau tiful the effect Is.—New York Commer ' cial Advertiser. A Return to Past Modes. Two old friends are to make a reap pearance this summer, namely, grena dine aud the hat of chipped straw, which was usually trimmed with .wreaths of flowers and loops of black velvet ribbon, and will be again. Black grenadine looks beautiful over a color, ' and proves a really economical pur chase, for. If It Is of good quality it wears well. It is very charmlug, too, mounted upon white taffetas, and it straps effectively with taffetas; more over, It lends Itself to lace Insertions, and lawn ones as well, with the lace let into the lawn. A full skirt of silver gray grenadine, worn with a straight and very pointed bodice made after the manner of the Watteau period, with a. white fichu, and a flopping white chip hat, with tiny crimson rambler roses for a trimming, would form a truly picturesque costume. Then, again, the long cstrleh feather. It must not he forgotten, was a con stant companion of the chip hnt away buck in the forties, when women played archery and locked so graceful with their big bows and arrows tad their full skirts. All the flimsy summer frocks must have full skirts and flounces—flounces everywhere—wherefore the fichu and the new pelerine boa will appropriately be worn. Neither can be seen to their advantage with a tightly-fitted skirt, for the result of such a partnership is incongruous. The pelerine boa is fus sily Bounced and rucbed so that It, forms quite a cape upon the shoulders, and It has long ends in which its re semblance to a boa is traceable. In the fichu are discoverable plenty of virtues, the most obvious being the adaptability of the demure folcLs to the beauty of every age from -sixteen to sixty, and still older. Philadelphia Record. The 01<l-Fuahlone<l Swing* A sensible mother said one day, 111 discussing tile methods she had fol lowed in bringing up her children, that the old-fashioned swing would give a growing boy all the gymnastic exercise he needed. She might have added that it was equally good for small, growing girls. This device, one of the simplest and least expensive known to man. lias al most gone out of fashion for children. Anybody who was brought up iu a country village, where the swing was as much a part of the furniture of the yard as was the front doorstep, knows what a delight it was to children of all ages and sizes. To one who possesses these memories the modern apology for a swing, witli Its railed-round seat and ugly framework, is positively painful. Where is the chance for exercise In that machine? What child old enough to have a mind of its own wants to get Into a cradle and be swung back and forth by a nurse? The old-fashioned swing was a rope hung in a long loop, with a notched board placed in the loop,, and the child could sit or stand, according to age and ability. Expert youngsters could "swing standing up" until the rope was nearly horizontal, the weight of the body holding it taut, so that the danger of accidents was practically non-exist ent. The tails which children have had from tlie swings were, in nine cases out of ten, the result of scuttling or malicious pushing, and not of the amusement itself. It is one of those amusements which look a good deal more dangerous than they are. In ac quiring momentum every muscle 19 brought into play, and the hands and arms are strengthened gradually, without strain, so that all the benefits of athletic training are secured, togeth er with recreation, and that is always a good point to make with children.— New York News.

It Is a general opinion that Incan descent electric lamps give out. com paratively small quantities of heat. Measurements show, however, that of the energy of the current only six per cent, is turned into light: the other ninety-four per cent, manifests itself as heat. Inflammable substances near incandescent lamps are readily ignited. If a sixteen-cnndle power lamp lighted by 100 volts be immersed in a vessel containing MOO grams (ten and one half ounces) of water, it will bring the water to tlie boiling point, in an hour. Celluloid near such a lamp is inflam mable in live minutes. These and other experiments of the sort direct attention to the necessity of care even with elec tric light. Cousul-Oeneral Iticlinrd Gr.enther. of Frankfort, Germany, reports tie com pletion at'Drcsdou, of the largest long distance heating plant in Europe. From a central station, says the COll - many public buildings on the left bank of tne River Elbe, in cluding the theatre, the museum, the castle, the royal kitchen, the custom house, etc., are heated. The greatest distance over which heat is transmitted is three-fourths of a mile. The total heat consumption per hour Is 15,200,- 000 heat units. The usual steam pres sure is two atmospheres. Ten of the fourteen boilers are used, and to guard against accidents, two main lines of pipe have been provided. The loss of heat in transmission is from four to four and one-half per cent. The pipes are protected by two layers of I in. the inner layer being perforated, and the outer one covered with silk. The larg est ripes have a diameter of 21(1 milli metres (8.51 inches).

Hyderabad City, the home ot the Ni zam. was built mauy centuries ago in a valley surrounded by the most re markable scenery in all the world. Countless ages past, volcanic convul sions burled up gigantic masses of grauite, known now in geological lan guage as "Deccan Trap." Millions of monsoons have slowly washed away tlie soil and left these rounded rocks upstanding, poised on each other's shoulders and balanced by an imper ceptible curve or cup. The stone is now largely quarried, and in the cold season does good service, but, once the summer suu asserts itself, the prime val heat of mother earth, from whose great central depths these boulders tore their way to freedom with earth quake force, become a mass of blaz ing heat, on which even natives cannot stand, and whose touch raises blisters on European skiu, says a correspond ent of the Pittsburg Gazette. The city is entered from nlue gates port-cullised over deep moats and ev ery vestige of western life is absolutely excluded. No European ever sleeps within its wall, and visitors, armed with a permit, curious to view this barbaric monument of Oriental life, en ter with awe and misgivings. All words or gestures which might be construed as antagonistic must be sup pressed, aud should any motive inim ical to the native safety be suspected, a iiead man utters the one word, "At tack!" The victim is surrounded and is never seen again* The city is guarded by the Nizam's two armies, the regulars and irregu lars, and to the latter, savage, blood thirsty Asiatics, armed with swords, knives, bludgeons and huge revolvers, protruding from their bulky belts, this congenial task is assigned.

Many young meu. beginning a busi ness career for themselves, make the mistake of supposing that financial credit is based wholly upon property or capital. They do not understand that character and reliability, com bined with aptitude for one's business, and a disposition to work hard, are far more important assets to have than millions of dollars. The young fellow who begins by sweeping out the store, aud who finally becomes a clerk, mana ger or superintendent by ills energy and reliability of character, does not usually find it difficult to secure credit to start in business for himself. Ou the other hand, jobbing houses are not inclined to advance credit to the man who, though he may have inherited a fortune, has shown no capacity foi business, and is of doubtful chnructer. The young men who start for them selves, on a small scale, are more ener getic, work harder, are more alert, are quicker to appreciate the chances of the market, and are more polite and willing than those with large capital. The credit men in jobbing houses are very quick, as a rule, to see the sue cess-qualities in prospective buyers, und seldom make a mistake in theii estimate of what credit it Is safe to ex tend.—O. S. Marden, in Success. Prince Edward's Frag. Prince Edward of York, the little grandson of Edward VII., was recent ly attacked with influenza and, being a sturdy lad, he complained bitterly because he was obliged to remain in bed. His nurse gave him all the good counsel suitable on such an occasion, but he paid little heed to her until she liappeued to say that there was a little girl living near the place who was also suffering from influenza, but who bore the affliction like an angel. "I'd like to know that girl," said the Prince, enthusiastically, "and at any rate I'm going to send her a pres ent. But what shall I seud? I have teen taught that princes when they give presents should give those things which they prize the most. Now the things which I prize the most are my bust of Lord Roberts and my frog, my beautiful green frog, which jumps so well." Over this problem be pondered for some minutes and then he said: "I like Lord Roberts very much, but I like my frog a good deal better, and therefore I'll send my frog to this sensible little girl."
