Inns, semi-diaphanous in quality, will

profusion of lace. An exquisite tint
may be given to such toilets by an I'M
der-drcss of colored muslin, sateen or
fine batiste. The effect is much lighter
and more airy than when the UNDER
dress is of silk or satin. There should,
however, be petticoat of surah, but
this should be white, and the thin tint
ed material over it merely attached at
the waist But, though effective, these
slips are not first choice. Nearly all
elegant diaphanous summer textiles
are made up over Innings of colored
silk. This fashion began with the beau
tiful Vatican muslins and transparent
organdies, and has extended to tho
wearing of lace, silk gauze, etaminc
and other still more delicate fabrics.
Silk Innings were not very long ago
considered luxury beyond the means
of most people, but the great reduction
in the price of good firm surahs of
lightweight quality. has wrought
change Still, for delicate. airy effect,
the batiste or other light muslin slips
are to be preferred.--M T. Erening

A Old Nan Who Had Ne Faith In to
Dangerous Qualities II Powder.
"That explosion of powder in a store
down the river puts me in mind of .
personal experience said Detroiter
the other day. 81 was living in Mis-
souri,. and tine country store at which 1
used to trade was kept by q man named
Simons. He was a queer, cranky old
chap, having his own ideas about every
thing. and. while he always kept in
stock several kegs of gunpowder, he
insisted on storing chem for his own
convenience, without reference to the
danger. A twenty-five pound key al
ways sat on the counter within ten feet
of his weighing scales, and the very
first time entered the store the old
man weighed out a pound for a Gus
toner and kept lighted pipe in his
mouth all the time. There were twenty
people inside. but was the only one to
skip out. The others had got used TO
it. l felt it my duty to warn SimOns
against such terrible carelessness. He
heard me through and replied:
stranger, mebbe you had better
patronize some other store. I'm most
too old to want advice from boys.
There was no other store within
seven miles, and therefore continued
to trade with the old man, though he
seemed down on me forever after that.
One night drove up after something
and found fully twenty men in the
store, most of whom were smoking.
There were three kegs of powder on
the counter this time, and when heard
customer ask for pound / slipped
outdoors and didn't stop running for
half mile. I waited for half an hour.
but no explosion took place. When
returned most of the men had gone. I
got my goods, mounted my horse and
set off for the lead mine, wondering
how it was that Providence fooled
around with the old man so long. I
had notieed powder scattered on the
counter, and the wooden plug was on
one of the kegs. l was about mile
away when my horse seemed to be lift
ed of the ground, and there came a
rumble as if an earthquake had broken
loose. Fences along the roadside were
leveled, and heard glass breaking in
farmhouse windows. l knew what
had happened, and turned and rode
back. When | reached the site of the
store there was simply great hole in
the ground. The building had been
scattered for half mile around. Old
Simons was found i'll potato patch
forty rods away, bruised, blackened.
broken and dying, and when we picked
him up he gasped out:

the burned stuff !'"-DetrOH Free

C3rnlvOfOuS ATTACKS OF Rodents Upon
Their Congcners.
I have found by practical experience
that the ferocity and voracity of rats is
very great. They devour one another
at all times and under all circumstan-
ces. whether living in wild state or
under the influence of domes.ication.
l kept six rats at one time in confine-
ment, and although well fed, tho
largest specimen consumed all the rest.
Again. shortly after the late Inventions
Exhibition closed last year, the follow
ing incident came under my notice.
which fully confirms me in the belief
have expressed. As I was passing
through the building l heard wild and
piteous cries issuing from spot close
to where stood. l Immediately pro-
ceedcd thence, and beheld six large
rats feasting upon three of their con-
geners not much smaller than them
selves, who were endeavoring to free
themselves from the sharp teeth of
their ASSISTANTS. All of these rodents
thin and wild, and were no
doubt rendered bold and desperate by
privation, for my presence had no eff
feet upon their carnivorous attacks.
