The correspondent Of the New York
World, who is now in Russia writing up
that land as favorably as possible, should
turn his attention to Russian bribery. A
little tale appearing in one of the World S
contemporaries about the efficiency of
a Russian fire department might be we'll
taken for text tor a considerable des-
sci tation. According to this story st.
Petersburg manufacturer was informed
while at dinner at friends house, that
his factory was on fire. fastening to the
place he found that the blaze could easily
be controlled and went back to the fes
tai board. In the morning he was as
tonished to hear of the total destruction
of his property. because, as he after
wards discovered, he had neglected to
give big fee to the chief of the fire de-
partment whom he had met at the facto-
ry as the fire was dying out. Bribery
seems to be a more necessary practice in
Russia than on the American Pullman
sleeper Chieftain.

Think Before You Strike.

remember reading in my boyhood
about a merchant travelling on horse
back, accompanied by his dog. He
dismounted for some purpose and acct
dentally dropped his package of money.
The dog saw it; the merchant did not.
The dog barked to stop him, and, as he
rode further, bounded in front of the
horse, and barked louder and louder.
The merchant thought he had gone
mad, drew a pistol from his holster,
and shot him. The wounded dog
crawled back to the package, and when
the merchant discovered his loss, and
rode back, he found his dying dog "
ing there, faithfully guarding the
treasure.
The following little story, told by a
friend of mine is not as painful, but
adds force to the thought, Think be-
fore you strike any creature that cam
not speak
when l was boy, and lived in the
mountains of New Hampshire, / work
ed for farmer, and was given a span
of horses to pillow with, one Of which
was four-year-old colt. The colt
after walking few steps, would lie
down In the furrow. The farmer was
provoked, and told me to sit on the
colts head, to keep him from rising,
while he whipped him to break him of
that notion, as he said But just then
a neighbor came by. He said There's
something wrong here; let him get up,
and let us examine He patted the
colt, looked at his harness, and then
said, Look at his collar: it is so long
and narrow, and carries the harness so
high, that when he begins to pull it
slips back and chokes him, so he can't
breathe And so it was; and but for
that neighbor, we should have whipped
as kind creature as we had on the
farm. because he lay down when he
could not breathe.
1t was only the other day heard of
a valuable st. Bernard dog being shot,
because, having a wound en- his head,
concealed by the hair, he bit person
who handled him roughly.
Boys, young and old, please remem-
Der that these creatures are dumb.
They may be hungry, or thirsty, or cold,
or faint, or sick, or bruised, or wound
ed, and cannot tell you.
Think before you strike any Great
are that cannot speak"

manner of materials and colors
are employed for gowns. The white
caps vary in shape as much as fashion
able bonnets, and aprons may be as plain
or as anciful as the ordinary housewives
own. True, We find here no Haunting
colors nor stutfy garments. no foolish
draperies nor unnecessary fripperies.
The two portraits show the average cos
tune. Each is arrayed in the pleasant,
restful-looking white cap and apron that
are the chief badge of the VOCATION. but it
is really marvellous to note how both
these rticles of dress vary in shape.
1t was one of these nursemaids who
had 4-year- old girl in charge, and a
baby, too.
why does that baby cry?" the girl
asked.
Because he is getting his teeth, the
nursemaid replied.
But mamma didn't cry when the den-
fist made her teeth, the child remarked.
Hush, chded the maid. -DIisy Dart,

The Little Man Knew His Business.

The driver looked back through the
front window to see who wanted to get
off, and the passengers all looked at
the little man, but he stood there per-
fectly unconcerned, with a PARKWAY
look in his eye and paid no attention
to the interest he was stirring up.
The big man reached over and tapped
him on the chest and said, in his loud,
clustering way:
"See here! Don't you want to get
off ?"
The little fellow turned, and, with 8
touch of resentment in his tone. said
"I'm 81; l know when want to get
off,"
The big fellow was staggered for a
moment, then he returned to his
charge:
well, what did you pull that strap
for?'
"Was that your strap" innocently
inquired the meek looking man. Be
cause If it wasn't / don't feel obliged
to explain"
A deadly silence settled on the car
for moment, and then low but dis
tinct smoker crept around among the
passengers. The big man dropped off
the car looking as if he were suffering
from partial eclipse" his chest was
not nearly so obtrusive, and he seemed
several inches shorter As he nude
his way rapidly up cross street the
passengers relaxed and merry laugh
went up at his expense.-Chicdgo

The third picture Is an illustration Of
what is called the simplicity gown,
and II is in favor in New York for young
girls at dancing parties as we'll as big

il is charmingly effective. The sketch
shows also a good current style OF wear
ing tho hair. The hair, raised up from

effect of making the head look small, is
frise or slightly waved, and ribbon ros-
settles or aigrettes may be placed among
the waves, although when associated
with the simplicity gown it is usually
left as here shown, without ornament.
For balls md full dress small wreaths
of gold filigree, with a tuft OF feathers
and aigrettc in front, are worn, the
wreath encirc'ing the top of the head.
Another, and perhaps the latest style. is
the tiara or half dIadem in the form of
small ducal coronet. made either Of
precious stones or large pear-shaped
pearls; it is worn placed among the hair,
as it were; but. OF course, is not within
the reach of many, and requires n very
stylish woman 10 wear it.
While investigating New York's newest
output of styles in dress, took pains to
learn how Fifth avenue matrons are just
now costuming their nursemaids. Va
rious'y indeed There is widespread
idea that these jaunty menials are all ar
rayed after one pattern, and that even of
this pattern the only distinctive feature
is the smart cap and apron. That is a
mistake. Though the general effect, as
one glances round at the brave show OF
nursmaids of n morning in Madison
Square, is that the uniform Of nurses is
almost identical, close inspec-
tion soon proves the contrary. All

Pertinent Advice.

Professor-Well, Roberts. have you
selected your subject for sophomore ex-
yet?
Sophomore-Yes, sir.
Professor good. Now let me
give you piece of advice. Whatever
your subject is. let it become for the
next two months part of you. Satu-
rate yourself with it.
Sophomore-Yes, sir. Thank you,
sir.
Professor-By the way, may / ask
what your subject is j.?

their charm. No matter how cheap or
coarse the fabric, if it be shaped artistic
ally the effect will be fine. Therefore L
advise women with limited money, but
with unlimited desire to look winsome, to
acquire the ability to fit their
figures becomingly. With that power
gained, they can triumph over a lack
of monetary means. Buy and try pat
terms, alter and adapt them, until you
have one bodice that is just right. Then
keep that for a model, and you may pro-
duce garments with all the style 10 them
that an expensive maker could impart.
Pay particular heed to your corsets.
Heed neither those who counsel the dis
carding of stays nor those who tighten
them until they are injurious. That is a
subject upon which nobody can general
ize. 1t is a happy fact, however, that
there is a tendency to secure an effect of
softness by having corse,s made as thin
and small rs possible.
Here is a recipe which / give to thin
women in all sincerity: Spread damp
towel over YOUR chest when you begin
dressing. When the toilet is complete
the towel is drawn slowly upward over
the top of the corsAge. This fits all
there is of plumpness to the highest pos
sible point, and it is held there by the
snugness of the corsage.
What / have written as to good taste
triumphino over common materials should
be supplanted by the advice to study
colors. Do not put hue on your back
that will kill your face or your hair Do
not accept n shade because IT is in vogue.
No one is ever sure beforehand just what
color will be in fashion.
Il have never been able, said an adept
New York dressmaker with whom l lately
talked, ito warn my customers in adj
vance, nor when once a color was estab-
lished, trace it back to the source of its
