Making Dresses at Home

Woollen dresses are made with the
deep Jersey, or the coat basque; the
pointed bodice is reserved for more
dressy toilets, and it is outlined with
folds of trimming, which form sash in
the same, or a contrasting color; or in a
different shade of the same color; or in
coIors which appear in figure of the
fabric of which the dress is composed.
Basque bodices are very fashionably
finished with two collars-one narrow
and standing, the other fiat and cut oh
square, as in the ''Gilda" basque. The
insertion of square shirring, or fine
knife plating in easement opening at the
neck, is favored for princess dresses be-
cause it gives dressy effect without much
trouble, and is almost universally be-
coming, except to very stout figures.
Shirred bodices are less employed than
last year, partly because of the difficulty
of making them styl1shly and so as to
produce good eject. They are still
seen occasionally, however, and look
best IN washing materials on slender
young girls, who can belt them in with
ribbons, and who are improved by the
fullness and the additional breadth given
to the shoulders. 1t is important to re-
member that basques and bodices of all
kinds can hardly be cut too high upon
the shoulder, and that the sleeve requires
them to be equally well rounded in on the
front of the arm. 1t is quite common to
see dresses made at home or by inferior
drs ssmakers, the effect of which Is spoil
ed by the bad shape of the arm-hole,
Just at the top, where the highest part
of the sleeve touches the shoulder seam.
it will form an almost abrupt point, sim
ply because the sides are not well cut in
and rounded. The result is disastrous,
not only running the outline Of the arm
but creating a mass of wrinkles, leaving
an ungraceful breadth at the back, and a
want of ease as well as smoothness il
the fit of the front. The modern dress
sleeve is shaped like the coat sleeve, and
the dress like the coat, is narrowed by
the sleeve extending over the top of the
shoulder. Sleeves should be adapted tc
their purpose; fancy "elbow," and half
long sleeves are absurd for the useful
everyday dresses of young Amazous
whose muscular development cannot al
ways beencased in pink silk mitts or ione
ltan-colored gloves.

Finery for pet Dogs.

For the interest of dog fanclers Is
made known the following fact that it
NAV stimulate to organize for like pur-
poses. In Paris nearly two thousand
persons are employed in making and
furnishing decorations and clothing for
dogs. The trade represents million
dollars capital. A "rage" runs In
thai French town for dressing canine
pets. Every variety of dog has his pc
culiar dress and proper toilet and toilet
cases. with powder, sponge, comb and
SO forth. 1t would be rank breach OF
dog manners for bulldog to appear in
the dress of another kind; indeed the
deg would pine away from sheer morti-
ficatlon. Smooth ''tarriers" wear brace
lets on some one of their legs, and bear
in mind, always put the ring on the left
leg. that is the fashionr As to collars,
blankets for cool weather, netting for
warm weather, the rule holds good
every one to its own and to no other. A
very aristocratic dog would never ap-
pear Cd a rainy day without long-legged
boots made Of doeskin ana fastened on
with rubber rings.
At certain seasons of the year dogs
must be muzzled and this calls for fancy
and decorated muzzles. But, heaven
be praised, some of them get into the
pound, the worthless ones, and die latel
than they ought. An American may
exclaim on reading of Paris dog-dress-
ing. mot all the fools are on this con-
tinent; some own dogs in Paris.

Strengthening Up Trees.

In August and September trees begin TO
harden their wood, and as the twig is then
bent the tree will be inclined. A tree will
usually arrange its foliage symmetrically,
the shoots that are laggard this year re
ceiying the most impetus the next year,
and so filling I'D vacancies and irregulari-
ties. But stem once hardened in tefor-
nifty cannot recover without aid. Only a
stake sitter than itself, so applied as TO
press against the couvexity of the bend,
while the ''leanIDg OFF, portion Is drawn
toward the stake and tied close up To 1t,
will remedy the dlsfgurement. 1t is sur
prising how few Of those who attempt to
straighten tree stem by stake apply the
stake so as to effect theif object. Set it
on the side from which the stem leans,
and close to the STEM Set 1t nov, Just
before the wood hardens. Tie it at the
bottom, top and middle, so that the tree
stem will be straight as the stake, and 50
that the wind may not displace it. Add q
brace, if necessary, to hold the stem erect
after the stake has made it straight (by
October the stake may be dispensed with
and If you have got perpendicular eye IL
your level head it will be continual plea
sure to look ever thereafter st that erec
support of the head of foliage.

BE cmDardinents.

The history of bombarding towns af.
fords an instance of something like act
ual deterioration in the usages ofmoderr
warfare. Regular or simple lombard
ment, that is, of town ind;scrininately
and not merely of its fortresses, has
now became the established practice.
Yet, what did yattel say in the middle
OF the last century? ''At present we
generally content ourselves with batter
ng the ramparts and defences of a
place. To destroy a town with bombs
and red-hot balls is sn extremity to
which we co not proceed without cogent
reasons. What said Vauban still
earlier? 1.-The fire must be directed
simply at the defences and batteries OF
place. and not against the houses.
Then let Us remember the English bonn
bardment of Copenhagen in 1907, when
the cathedral and some three hundred
houses were destroyed; the German
bombardment of Strasburg in 1870,
where rlfied mortars were used for the
first time, and the famous library and
picture gallery destroyed; and the Ger
maa bombardment of Paris, about which
strangely enough, even the military
conscience of the Germans was struck;
so that in the highest circles doubts
about the propriety of such a proceed
ing at one time prevailed from a moral
no less than from a military point of
view. With respect again to sacred or
public buildings, warfare tends to be-
come increasingly destructive. 1t was
the rule in Greek warfare to spare sacred
buildings; and the Romans frequently
spared sacred and other buildings, as
Marcellus, for instance, at Syracuse.
Yet when the French ravaged the Pal
atinate i'll 1859 they not only set fire 10
the cathedrals but sacked the tombs of
the ancient Emperors at Spiers, Freder-
ick ii destroyed the finest buildings at
Dresden and Prague. In 1914 the
English forces destroyed the Capitol at
Washington, the Presidents house, and
other public buildings; and in 1915 the
Prussian General, Blucher, was with
difficulty restrained from blowing up
the bridge of Jena at Paris and the pill
lar of Austeritz. There is always the
excuse of reprisal or accident. Yet
Vattel had said Gin language which but
repeated the language of Polybius and
Cicero) 1--WE ought to spare those
edifices which do honor to human soci-
ETY., and do not contribrte to the enemy's
strength, such as temples, tombs, pub
lie buildings, aud all works of remarka-
be beauty

The Entrance Han at Abbotsford.

The entrance hall at Abbotsford. the
home of Sir Walter Scott, is forty feet in
length. Its lofty ceiling of oak, fashioned
into series of arches, is exquisitely
carved; the walls. which are also OF
oak, from Dunfermline Abbey, are richly
decorated in the same manner. The
floor is made of black and white marble
from the Hebrldes- Along the walls
are many suits of old armor, the most
noticeable being an English suit of the
time of Henry v. and an italian one of
more recent date above them are the
coats of arms of the ancient border clans
conspicuous among these being the arms
of Douglas and the Royal Lion of
Scotland. There are also helmets,
rapiers and claymores in great variety,
as well as Polish lances, and suit of
chain mail taken from the corpse of one
of the royal body-guard of Tippoo
Sahib, ruler of Seringaptam, when that
Hindoo city was besieged and captured
by the English in 1899. On one sde,
in niche formed by window, is a
glass case containing the last suit of
clothes worn by Sir Walter. Hanging
on the wall, at the extreme end near
the left door, are the keys of the old
Tolbooth prison. There are also relics
in this entrance hail of James VI. and
Caverhouse, the "Bonny Dundee" of
Scottish prose and poetry. Only two
windows light the hall, and they are so
obscured by coats of arms that the in
terror has been spoken of as being ''as
dark as the twelfth century" / leave
my young friends who study history to
decide how dark that is. Standing in
one of the corners, but not visible In
the picture, is an American AK that was
much priced by Sir Walter as the gift
of Washington living. Many of you
have doubtless read Irving's description
Of his stay at Abbotsfori. IT Is a fine
tribute to the host who entertained him
so royalty. The farewell at the gate
was II will not say goodbye. hut come

impressed while there with the fact
that Sir Walter, notwithstanding the
miracles of work he did, contrved tc
appear ever at the command of his
guests, continually devising plans fol
their enjoyment.

IN THE NEST.

Gather them close to your loving heart
Cradle them TO your breast;
They win soon enough leave your brooding care,
Soon enough mount youths topmost stair
Little ones in the nest
Fret not that the children's hearts are gay,
That their restless feet will run!
There may come time in the by and by
When youl sit in your lonely room and sigh
For sound Of childish fun;
When you'll long for repetition sweet,
That sounded through each room,
OF Smother -" Mother " the dear love calls,
That will echo long in the silent halls,
And add TO their stately gloom.
There may come time when you'll long to hear
The eager, bJyish tread,
The tnneless whistle, the clear, shriIl shout,
The busy hustle in and out,
And psiiering overhead
When the boys and girls are grown up
And scattered far and wide,
Or gone to the undiscovered shore
Whence youth and age come never more,
You will miss them from your side.
Then gather them close TO your loving heart,
Cradle them on your breast,
They will soon enough leave your brooiing care,
soon enough mount youths topmost stair
Little ones in the nest

MFFINToWN WEDNESDAY.
Light and Near-sightedness.
Professor Pickering. of Harvard

Professor Pickering, of Harvard OBJ
seryatory, points out In Nature that the
color of gas-llght has nothing to do with
Its painfnl effect upon the eyes of STU
dents and others. To Il st this question
he had tin lamp-shade constructed,
consisting of tube six inches in Diane
ter by eleth in lenght. One ED was
closed by reflector. ard the other by a
piece OF very light blue glass. The
holes were made in the sides through
which passed the glass chimney of an
argand gas-burner. By experimenting
with shadow photometer, a position
was found where the light received on a
book was Of the same intensity and very
similar color to that from a window in
the daytime at a distance of about six
feet. A few minutes reading, however.
was sufficient to convince him that the
new hight was far more trying to the
eyes than an ordinary gas-fame would
be. the i'll effects being due to the in
tense heat thrown down by the reflector.
And this he thinks is the source of the
whole trouble in the ordinary gas-bur-
ner. The heat radiated by the flame,
the heated chimney and shade, and
reflected from the printed page and all
other white paper lying on the table,
dries the eyes, the lids, the forehead
and temples. Temporary relief may be
found by bathing the face and eyes in
water, but it is only temporary. The
hot, dry air from the lamp is also harm
full, and no doubt contributes its share
of injury to the vision. These evils
may both In part be remedied by plac-
iLg pane of glass so as to intercept the
rays about the lamp before they strike
ON the book or the face But it must
be placed at such distance from the
lamp as not itself to become heated.
The hotter the flame the winter it Is,
and the more light is thrown off in pro-
portion to the heat. Hence oculists are
recommending such lights as the Stu
dents and Moderator lamps, which burn
with a small, hot aud very brilliant
flame, as compared with that furnished
by the argand and fish-tail burners.
Statistics, said Professor Pickering
shows how alarmingly prevalent near
sightedness has become of late among
students. Hence anything which will
tend in the future to prevent this wide
spread derect will be boon to mankind.
He had great hopes of the electric light
in this respect. In it there was the
maximum of light with the minimum of
heat. The ever-varying intensity was
an objection, but he thought we might
look forward to the success of the light
from the incandescent carbon strip, in
the near future, as a remedy for ''the
most widespread evil that affiicts the
human vision"

BARRIERS do not often figure IN the
literature of ancient Greece and Rome,
and information respecting them at that
time is not ample. Nevertheless, four
hundred years ago they were incorpora-
ted among the guilds of London.
Originality they united the art OF SHAY
ing with that of trimming the nails.
Some of them still practice blood
letting, though not in the interests oi
surgery. Their sign was formerly a
basin, symbolical of their trade as bar
bers, with a pole bound spirally with
red tillet, symbolizing the ribbon about
the arm IN bleeding. The pole with red
and white stripes is still used. In
1915 Henry VIII incorporated the ba
bers and surgeons together, but forbade
each to exercise the functions OF the
other. In his time the shops were the
resort of idle persons, and lutte or gull
tar was almost always hanging on the
wall for the use OF wandering musicians
and the pleasure of the company
The early BARRIERS in Paris were privi-
legged, in addition to shaving, to cut
hair, bleed, keep warm baths, and
make wigs.
The surgeons were a distinct profes-
sion but they were arbitrarily joined with
the BARRIERS by Louis XIV, and so re-
mained for many years. The early
French members of the craft could also
draw teeth and bind up broken heads,
which as cities were not at that time
well policed and orderly, they were Of
ten called upon to do.
In the period before shops became SO
common, patrons were shaved In their
own houses, BARRIERS carrying with them
to the place where needed the simple
tools then in use.
The razors now sold in Paris are sc
bad that no Partisan thinks of shaving
himself, SO that when there was STRIKE
few weeks since, among the BARRIERS
employees, the gay capital was seriously
disturbed.
This strike had singular cause.
The price of shaving had been raised
to twenty five centimes (about 6. cents
which SO displeased the working classes
who thought it too high for une barb
simple, that they refused to drop the
usual gratuitles, or pourbOires, for the
employees into the box that always
stood ready for their reception
The employees could not stand thu
deprivation. and refused to work. Ih'
employers could not well yield, as tue,
feared the imposition of a fine OF two
hundred frances from the Union, ane
the difficult had to be compromised OF
the best terms mutually obtainable.
