About The Plnjf-PonK Wlnt. The ping-pong shirt waist has ar rived. It is made in various stuffs, wasli silks principally, hut the pret tiest model yet shown is of pongee, ' tucked and stitched, the stitching done In silk ot a contrasting color. The stock and cravat are ot 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 euffs are simi larly adorned. Women's Hats Over the Face. Most of the new models come well forward over the brow, hut n 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 piuk muslin roses, except in the centre, where a bow of black velvet is introduced. I Outside are several larger roses, with leaves made up into a wreath, with of black lace. Four of these points compose a butterfly bow at the back, fastened in the centre by a ca bochon made of straw braids.—Millin ery Trade Review. liid 1 mii Cirls at a Santa Fe School. The manual part of their instruction is housewifery. They learn to make their blue gingham gowns. They prick their unaccustomed, little, aboriginal lingers with needles and the threads grow red from the blood that trickles from their wounds. They learn to wash and to iron. Even a knowledge of liutlug 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 Americun dishes iu the American fashion. Oatmeal, hash, mashed potatoes and pie take the place , of the jrijoles and the roots they knew about the tepee. But the Indian gMs learn to sew for their Paris dolls. They have toy tubs, toy clothes horses, toy ironing hoards and hoards that mademoiselles' fine frilled garments may alwu.vs he kept Immaculate and crisp. They have tiny sowing boxes that lior ladyship's be longings may be kept in fair repair, and one of the quaintest sights in the Santa Ee school is that of the small Indian damsel withdrawn from the games of her companions making doll clothes in the latest fashion.—Ainslee's Magazine. Fnslilons in Jewel,. Never has 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 i is Immense scope for the skill of the • designer. It is a fad of the owners of i fine gems to have them reset occasion ally. working out the designs them selves. Bonis Quinze and Bouls Seize designs are the genres of the moment, and lend themselves particularly well to the setting ot the diamonds and em eralds, while the large cabochons are likewise very much in vogue and give a piquancy to a dainty and elaborate piece of bijouterie. The huge single emerald is effective In rings, while for the corsage all sorts of birds, fern and flower desigus 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 on occasional diamond like a drop of dew in among the leaves are charming. I They require that the hair should be I coiffe to the very best advnntage—so nrranged, 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 have seen this gem-set lace can judge how beau tiful the effect is.—New York Commer cial Advertiser. A Return to Post Modes. Two old friends are to make a reap pearance this summer, namely, grena dine and the hat of chipped straw, which was usually trimmed with wreaths of flowers and loops of black velvet ribbon, aud 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 charming, 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 sliver 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 fcr a trimming, would form a truly picturesque costume. Then, agnin, the long ostrich feather. It must not be forgotten, was a con stant companion of the chip hat away back In the forties, when women played archery and locked so graceful with their big bows and arrows cad their full skirts. All the flimsy summer frocks must have full skirts and flounces—flounces everywhere—wherefore the flcbu and the new pelerine boa will appropriately be worn. Neither can bo seen to their advantage with a tlghtly-fltted skirt, for the result of such a partnership Is Incongruous. The pelerine boa 1s fus sily flonnced and rucbed so that It forms quite a enpe upon the shoulders, and It has long ends In which Its re semblance to a bos Is traceable. In the fichu are discoverable plenty of virtues, the most obvious being the adaptability of the demure folds to the beauty of every age from sixteen to sixty, and still older. Philadelphia Record. The Old-Fashioned Swine A sensible mother said one day. In discussing the methods she had fol lowed In bringing up her children, that the old-fashioned swiug would give a growing-boy all the gymnastic exercise lie 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, has al most gone out of fashion for children. Anybody who was brought up in a country village, where the swing was as much a part of the furniture of the yard as was tile front doorstep, knows what n delight it was to children of all ages and sizes. To one who possesses these memories the modern apology for a swing, with its railed-round sent 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 swuug back and forth by a nurse? The old-fashioned swing was n rope hung in a loug 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 falls which children have had from the 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 whicli look a good deal more dangerous than they are. In ac quiring momentum every muscle is 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 supposed, from comparison with other heads of the same period, to rep resent Tiberius. It is hoped that further research may lead to the recov ery of other parts of the statue. 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 Ileaf. Inflammable substances near incandescent lamps are readily ignited. If a sixteen-camlle power lamp lighted by 100 volts la- immersed in a vessel containing fltlli grams (ten and one halt' ounces) of water, it will bring the water to the boiling point in an hour. Celluloid near such a lamp is inflam mable in five minutes. These and other experiments of the sort direct attention to the necessity of care even wiih elec tric light. Consul-Geperal Richard Guenther, of Frankfort, Germany, reports the com pletion at Dresden, of the largest long distance heating plant in Europe. From a central station, says the Con sul-General, many public buildings on the left bank of tne River Elbe, in cluding tlie 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 13.200,- 000 heat uuits. The usual steam pres sure is two atmospheres. Ten of the fourteen boilers are used, and to guard against accidents, two main liners 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 tin. the inner layer being perforated, and the outer one covered with silk. The larg est pipes have a diameter of 210 milli metres (8.51 inches). The Maimed Machinist*. It would appear that one of the most dangerous cf peaceful occupations is the seemingly inocuous one of attend ant of a jclner's planing machine. At a hearing In a prosecution under the factory act at Halifax recently, a fac tory inspector told the court that when he took office he made It a point to try to discover an attendant: of such a machine who had all his fingers. It was live years before he came across such a man. All the attendants of joiners' planing machines whom he had seen in the meantime hail one or more fingers missing, which they had lost in the performance of their work.

"Yes," said a teacher in a South Side school, the other day, while en deavoring to explain to her class how the same word may have different meanings, "there is more than one kind of grace. Grace may be a girl's name, and grace means beauty, too, so that when we say a lady or any thing else is full of grace, we mean that she or it is beautiful in form nnd in chnraoter. Now, there is another kiud of grace. I wonder who can ex plain what it is. Freddie, what does your futlier say when he sits down to breakfast in the mornings?"

Hyderabad City, the home of the Ni zam, was built many centuries ago in a valley surrounded by the most re markable scenery in all the world. Countless ages past, volcanic convul sions hurled up gigautie masses of granite, known now In geological lan guage as "Deccan Trap." Millions of monsoons have slowly washed away the 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 sun asserts itself, the prime val heat of mother earth, from whose great central depths these boulders tore their wuy 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 skin, says a correspond ent of the Pittsburg Gazette. The city is entered from nine 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 witb awe nud misgivings. All words or gestures which might be construed as antagonistic must be sup pressed, and should any motive inim ical to the native safety be suspected, a head 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, kuives, bludgeons and huge revolvers, protruding from their bulky belts, this congeuial task is assigned.

Many young men, beginning n 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 fnt more important assets to have than millions of dollars. The young fellow who begins by sweeping out the store, and who finally becomes a clerk, mana ger or superintendent by Ills energy and reliability of character, does not usunlly find It difficult to secure credit to start in business for himself. On tile 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 character. 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, nnd arc more polite nnd willing than those with large capital. The credit men In jobbing houses are very quick, as a rule, to see the suc cess-qualities in prospective buyers, and seldom make a mistake in theii estimate of what credit it is safe to ex tend.—O. S. Marden, in Success. Prince Edward's Frog. 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 happened to sny 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 send? I have teen taught that priuces 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 he 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."
