Deep bunting collars wrought in

Deep bunting collars wrought in
striking designs of lace work, are cho-
sen as becoming completion to some
toilettes They are worn long enough
to answer the purpose of small cape.
Tennis suits are made of all sorts of
guy wooden material, in stripes and
plalds. A combined tennis suit of
bright blue and red, trimmed with
Russian embroidery, and hat to
match, is very effective.
The prediction that satin would go
out of use was an error, for while gros-
grains are leading for street wear, sat
ms are found as acceptable as ever for
the rich and dressy costumes worn in
doors.
The natural hues of flowers have
never been more admirably depicted
than they now are in the new brocad-
ed silks at distance many of these TX
designs would be mistaken for hand
painting.
A really pretty style for a long
slender neck is narrow, stiff, slightly
faring standing collar, in color,
covered with lace, with a Grape full
ruche inside. A pleating of lace falls
on the shoulders, and forms a full jabot
front.
The bridal veil may be either as long
as the train of the dress or as short as
the waist line, but it must not be of
tulle if the bride is youthful. If she is
over twenty-five or thirty it may be of
any fine, delicate real lace, and shorter
than the youthful brides veil.
The long gloves worn over tight
sleeves are discarded. Loose wristed
gloves vie for preference with the but
toned wrists. Some fancy gloves have
ribbons inserted at the wrists and half
way from the top, with elastic under
meath, that holds them to the arm.

mer Evil.
Sunstroke, says the New York board
of health, is caused by excessive heat,
and especially if the weather is ''mug-
gy." 1t is more apt to occur on the
second third or fourth day of heated
term than on the first. Loss of sleep
worry, excitement, close sleeping
rooms, debility, abuse Of stimulants,
predispose to it. 1t is more apt to
attack those working in the sun, and
especially between the hours of eleven
o'clock in the forenoon and four O'Clock
in the afternoon On hot days wear
thin clothing, Have as cool sleeping
rooms as possible. Avoid loss of sleep
and all unnecessary fatigue. If work
ing indoors, and where there is art
fetal heat--laundries, etc. - see that
the room is well ventilated.
If working in the sun, wear light
hat (not black, as it absorbs the heat),
straw, ETC., and put inside of it on the
head wet cloth Or large green leaf,
frequently lift the hat from the head
and see that the cloth is wet. Do not
check perspiration, but drink what
water you need to keep it up, as per
spiration prevents the body from being
overheated. Have, whenever possible,
an additional shade, rs q thin um.

Whistling.

Capt Burton tells us how the Arabs
dislike to hear person whistle, called
by them eel sfr." Some maintain
that the whistler's mouth is not to be
purified for forty days, while, accord
ing to the explanation of others,
Satan touching mans body causes
him to produce what they consider an
offensive sound. The natives of the
Tonga islands, Polynesia, hold it to be
wrong to whistle, as this act is thought
to be disrespectful to God. In Iceland
the villagers have the same objection
to whistlng, and so far do they carry
their superstitious dread of it that "if
one swings about him a stick, whip,
wand, or aught that makes whistling
sound, he scares from him the Holy
Ghost" while other Icelanders who
consider themselves free from supersti-
tions, cautiously give the advice: "Do
it not; for who knoweth what is in the
air." In some districts of North Ger
many the villagers say that if one
whistles in the evening it makes the
angels weep. Speaking, however, of
ladies in connection with whistlng,
it is a widespread superstition that it
is at all times unlucky for them to
whistle, which, according to one legend,
originated in the circumstance that,
while the nails for our Lords cross
were being forged, a woman stood by
and whstled. Curiously enough,
however one very seldom hears any of
the fair sex indulging in this recrea-
ton, although there is no reason, as it
has often been pointed out, why they
should not whistle with as much facili-
ty as the opposite sex. One cause, per-
haps, of the absence of this custom
among women may be, in measure,
due to the distortion to the features
which it occasions. Thus we know
how Minerva cast away, with an i'm
prccation, the pipe, which aiterward
proved so fatal to MarSyas, when she
beheld in the water the Disagreement
of her face caused by her musical per-
Torrance. There are numerous in
stances on record, nevertheless, Of
ladies whistling at public entertain
ments, and charming their audience
with the graceful ease with which they
performed such airs as ",rhe Blue Bells
of Scotland" or "The Mocking Bird"
Indeed, not many years ago, at grand
provincial concert, two sisters excited
much admiration by the clever and ar
tistic way in which they whistled

A Tidal Wave,

At 5 O'Clock on the morning of May
10, 1877, cry of terror from the beach
of Hilo, Hawaii, reused the sleepers
on the hill. They rushed down to
meet half-drowned men, women and
children, running from their ruined
homes. A tidal wave had overwhelm-
ed several hundred houses and swept
away fifty A little church stood on
the beach. The wave moved it inland
two hundred feet, scarcely injuring a
timber, but tolling its bell as an accom-
paniment to its own angry roar. Sew
eral weeks after, news came that there
had been severe earthquake at
lquique, Peru, at s o'clock on the eve
ming of May 9th. AS the distance is
about eight thousand miles, the tidal
wave had travelled that distance in
nine hours. Miss Cummings, in re-
cent work on the kingdom of Hawaii,
describes the remarkable tidal wave
which rolled on the beach at Hilo,
November Z, 1887. She writes:
AT Hilo ten thousand natives, who
had assembled for religious instruction,
were either resting at home or gather
ed in groups on the shore. Just at
sunset, the sea suddenly began retreat
ing from the beach ut the rate of five
miles an hour. The natives rushed in
crowds to see the strange sight, when
suddenly gigantic wave formed and
rushed toward them with an appalling
roar. Rising twenty feet above high.
water mark, it dashed into the village
and broke with a noise az if a mountain
had fallen. Then arose walls of an
guish. Men, women and children, the
old and the helpless, struggled in the
flood, amid their wrecked homes
Clothing, food, domestic animals, tim
bers, and canoes were swept out to sea-
Some men rushed from the upper
shore into the pillows and saved scores
of half-drowned persons. So violent
was the suction that even strong
swimmers could make little way. The
cool courage of English sailors saved
many. An English whaler was anchor
ed in the bay. The tidal wave dashed
over her as it rushed inland. The next
instant she rose and shook the waters
from her, Her crew, seeing scores of
natives stunned and floating out to sea,
manned their boats and rescued many.

day was "Bc We also ready"

There seems to be no means of sup

other death-dealing agents have been

destruction, are appealing to science

He Smashed Their Idol.

A series of revival meetings was in
progress, and the subject on one even
ing was the book of Ruth. Among
the congregation was brother whom
the sisters delighted to hear His Ian
guage was always howery-grandly
eloquent. Waiting for his chance, he
at length arose and said: Brethren
and sisters, the subject this evening is
the book of Ruth. And do you know
that l never turn to the book of Ruth
without thought coming to my mind
that there it lies, like a beautiful Jew
el, between the ermine of the Judges
and the purple of the Kings" Such
an exquisite thought did not fail to
have its effect upon his admiring hear
ers. Later in the evening an elderly
clergyman came in, and, after listening
to the remarks for some time, arose
and said: "My friends, whenever |
turn to the book of Ruth, | am always
reminded of that beautiful quotation
from Taylor, that it lies, like q lovely
jewel. between the ermine of the judi
ges and the purple of the Kings"
And he sat down, blissfully unaware
of the idol he had smashed.
