Watches and Watch Chains.

Elsie Bee, in jewelers. Circular, gives the
latest fashions regarding watches for ladies'
wear. She says: Ladies' watches continue
small in size, but wide license is permitted in
the selection of the cases, which may be of
plain gold, etched, enameled or incrusted
with gems, Where the gems used in the am-
Enlistment of watch cases are of large size
and fine in quality, these are set through the
gold not incrusted in it. Chatelaine watches
are fashionable and will remain SO while the
empire style Of dress prevails. These watches
are of gold or silver, according to the chate-
laine with which they are worm
Watches for men tend to be fiat and thin.
Many are open faced. Monograms on watches
run smaller than the elaborate ones of few
seasons ago.
The queen chain remains fashionable,
though not to the exclusion of other styles.
With quite new chains is numbered the "Re-
gency," which, as the name suggests, is a
reproduction. For mems wear are the fancy
vest, the double chain and the fob chain.
Lockets and seals are the pendants preferred
for mems chains. No set pattern prevails for
pendants to ladies' chains; all sorts of de-
signs figure in my charms, such as balls,
blocks, baskets, scissors, pencils, vinaigrettes,
etc., etc.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.


New Hypnotic Devoid Of the Disadvsn-
tages Of Narcotics and Bromidss.
A new hypnotic of late receiving attention
In medical journals is sulphonal, which Is de-
scribed as occurring in the form Of large,
fiat, colorless crystals devoid Of taste and
smell Sulphonal u soluble In eighteen to
twenty parts of boiling water. In tepid
water the solubility Is only about one to one
hundred. The crystals dissolve more readily
In alcohol and alcohol mixed with ether. Ac-
cording to Professor Kast, Of Freiburg, sui
phonal is an hypnotic pure and simple. It
does not compel sleep through a paralytic
effect on the nerve centers nor through q
profound impression produced upon the vas
cular system. From numerous experiments
on animals and many clinical observations on
man, the action Of this new remedy would
appear to consist merely In the intensifcation
of those factors that lead to natural sleep in
the physiological sense, or in supplying the
periodical desire for sleep In those cases
where 1t is wanting. It is for this reason,
probably, that the range Of applicability Of
nlphonal u more limited one than that oe
some other drugs employed as hypnotics.
But sulphonal has none of the disadvantages
inherent in the deadly narcotics, and it is
much more reliable than any of the bromides.
This new body does not disturb digestion, it
is not constipating, it has no unpleasant after
effects, 1t is perfectly harmless, it does not in
vite the formation of "a habit" and, finally,
1t does not appear to lose its efficacy, even
when employed for long period.

Better Thing, Expected.

Awkward sbyness is certainly painful, but
it is not really SO Objectionable, according to
Mrs. Sherwood, as the rough or pert, forward
manner we unhappily see in many young
girls. If they only knew the impression It
gives, they would surely drop the slangy
speech and insane giggles with which they
enliven conversation among themselves
Girls of the present day need not adopt the
formal speech and manner of a bygone
age, but they should learn to display the
simple dignity which always marks a gentle
woman. Loud talking in public places, care
less misuse of language and pushing manners
may all be noticed among girls from whom
better things might be expected. It is not
strange that foreigners form such unfavora-
BILE opinions of orr women. Mrs Sherwood
laments the lack Of refinement shown at the
great summer resorts, where many Of the
women seem anxious above everything that
they should be remarked, and this is certain

That Ache In the Rack.

An Albany physician is quoted, according
to Scientific American, as declaring that
Americans suffer more generally from
Bright's disease and nervous disease than any
other people, and he says the reason is that
Americans sit down SO persistently at their
work. He says: Americans are the greatest
sittersI ever knew. While Englishmen, Ger
mans and Frenchmen walk and exercise, an
American business man will go to his office,
take his seat in his chair and sit there all day
without giving any relief to the tension Of the
muscles Of the back. The result is that these
muscles surrounding the kidneys become soft
and fabby. They lose their vitality. The
kidneys themselves soon become weak and de-
bilitated. If Americans would exercise more
If they would stand at their desks rather than
sit, we would hear less Of Bright's disease.
knew of New York man who had suffered for
some years from nervous prostration until it
was recommended to him that he have desk
at which he could stand to do his work.
Within year he was one of the healthiest
men you ever saw. His dyspepsia and kidney
trouble had disappeared, and he had an appe-
tite like PAYER"

ices are cut in variety of forms; some en-
cour, open very low back and front, filled in
with tulle. which is often fastened on the
shoulder with flower bow or jewel. Some
are cut oval, the shoulders covered; but the
front cut very low, almost to the armpits.
Some square and others in the classic style,
which is the most dressy Of all, because it is
the most undressed, cut low and round with
only strap on the shoulder.
In the annexed cut is illustrated Paris
ball dress, made to order for one Of New
York's fair guests, and worn at the inaugural
ball at Washington. The skirt and low
draped empire bodice is of tinsel gauze. The
plated butterfly sleeves are of China crepe,
and are caught from the shoulder and along
the arm with diamond butterfly and fes-
ICONS of jet. Gem butterflies sparkle on the
front of the corsage and in the couture
Velvet evening dresses are worn in greater
numbers than for some years past. On the
other hand, white dresses are seen in great
numbers at the opera and at balls, and are
worn alike by elderly and young women.

POURING WATER INTO A sIEyE


If the cup is held as shown in the cut, ex-
plains Scientific American, and water is
poured into it very gently and along one of
its sides, there is no difficulty in filling it to
the depth of three inches or more with water.
This illustrates water held in sieve. If a
finger of the hand holding the cup is wet,
the water as it rises to the level of the moist
ened part will at once rush out. If, when
the cup is full, the wet finger is rubbed on
the bottom, this will be sufficient to cause the
water to escape. The cup will float upon
water for an indefinite period, but if invert-
ed and placed like a diving bell, will at once
sink
The water in this experiment practically
forms film or membrane, not touching the
wire gauze and holding the body of the water
together The figure on the upper part of
the cut is an attempt to show how the water
rests upon the wires The little film is bowed
down between every two wires, forming a
species of sac.
The experimenter must remember to have
his hand perfectly dry. It is very curious,
as the water rises, to feel its chilling effect
through the wire gauze without the hand
being at all moistened

Water Proof Cloaks.

The newest cloak is the Russian with long
straight fronts and fat box plaits at the
back. This, as well as other cloaks, is made
in water proof cloth, Scotch woolens in large
and small checks, and in plain and figured
black or colored macintosh. The Portia,
somewhat similar to the Russian cloak, has
little armholes to pass the hands through,
and the fullness at the back arranged in gath
ers in point. The Balmoral has large,
deep cape caught in at the back of the waist
by band, and hood lined With silk. and
made to take off If wished. Sleeves are some
times added, but more oftener not, as the cape
has sufficient warmth and protection with

cloak with deep cape, which can be con-
verted into sling sleeves by passing the arms
through the loops placed inside, and made to

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Modes of Entertaining-The Finest Tact Is
to Make Every One Feel at Home.

Modes of Entertaining-The Finest Tact is
to Make Every One Feel at Home.
In commenting upon the lavish expenditure
with which some people entertain, Mrs. Ad-
miral Dahlgren affirms that this is more apt
to detract from than to increase the pleas
ure of the occasion. In the exercise of q
generous hospitality we assemble certain
selected number of congenial people for a
common enjoyment. 1t is pleasant to be
credited with good taste and to succeed in
what we undertake, but it is not to be sup
posed that we invite society in order that
they may become painfully aware that our
manner of living is grander than theirs.
Rest assured, says Mrs. Dahlgren, that If
people 60 away from your house with an un-
comfortable feeling that it is impossible for
them to exercise the same kind of hospitality,
some mistake has been made. The finest pos
sible tact is to make every one to feel at
home, and both host and hostess should spare
no effort in that direction. The hostess
should be quietly attired, so that she shall not
outshine her guests. For the time being those
whom you invite to your house belong to it.
You are bound to look after their comfort
in every way, and to protect them, if need
be, from any slight.
Simply to invite people to come to your
house and then permit them to take care Of
themselves is not American hospitality.
With us it should be the privilege of both
host and hostess to use their discretion as to
introducing people, and to assert with dig
nifty the equality of their guests. In repub-
lie, when we meet socially, we should meet as
equals and make no invidious distinction.
We are, of course, at liberty to choose our
associates. One can readily decline to visit
ct certain houses and refrain from inviting
certain people, but the moment we do invite
q company we must claim for each person so
invited the same respect that we claim for
ourselves. Those who expect special recog
milton must prove their right by the exhibi-
ton Of exceptional social talent.

of the bulb covered with light layer of
moss, kept always damp. The largest bulbs
grown under the best conditions will send up

be planted any time from November to May.
1t is safe to say bulbs planted any time from
Christmas to Easter, if properly watched and
watered, shaded and summed, will give
abundant bloom and blessing long before
there are many blossoms outside the house.
These bulbs are certainly worth good trial.

A Quaint and Pretty Table.

Among pretty odd pieces of furniture
manufactured nowadays, none show more
originality of design than fancy tables
Many of these are constructed with view to
some especial purpose-as, for instance, the
billetdoux table shown in the cut, which, in
fact, serves two equally useful ends. When
closed, as here represented, it fits into and
gracefully furnishes the corner Of room,
also taking up but little space. When the
folded flaps are opened out, an oblong top is
formed, and in the lower box like portion
paper, envelopes, pens and everything needed
in writing may be kept, so that it makes
very convenient writing table. Under the
folding top a dainty blotter is artfully con-

When Medicines Are Best Taken,

A French medical journal gives the follow
ing advice about the administration of medi-
cines:
Alkaline indictments should be given be-
fore meals. Iodine and its preparations
should be given during fasting, when they be-
come rapidly absorbed in their own forms,
and do not undergo the changes caused by
the presence in the stomach of food, acids and
starchy materials. Acids are best taken mid
way between meals, when they become rap
idly diffused If, however, it is desired to
limit the production Of gastric juice, they are
given just preceding a meal. Arsenic, cop
per and like irritants come after meals; like
wise cod liver oil, phosphates and malt pre-
parations.

Cooked celery is liked by many people and
is considered even more wholesome than the
raw article. Cut it in small cross sections,
using nearly the entire stalk and roots, re-
jecting only the very green parts. Cook it
in but little water, SO that when very tender
the water will have boiled nearly away; then
add milk sufficient for a nice gravy; sea-
son to taste with salt and pepper; rub butter
and flour to a smooth paste and add sufficient
to make it of creamy consistency When
the -four is scalded it is done.
