Gofng the Wrong Way.

Ex-Governor Andrew Shuman en-
tered the smoking car on a Chicago and
Northwestern train the other afternoon,
says the Chicago Tribune, and took q
seat facing toward the engine. The seat
ahead of him was turned over. Mr..
Shuman was smoking a good cigar and
had an evening paper in his hand. AS
he settled back an Irishman, with
clay pipe In his mouth, entered the car.
His breath was redOlent with bad
whisky and red eye tobacco.
"GOod avenin', Misther Shumap, %"
said the Irishman, as he sat down on
the seat opposite.
Glow are you, Pat % said Mr.. Shu-
man.
"Noicely, tank you. was the reply.
Pat had probably hOed the garden
for Governor Shuman at some time,
and he was presuming on old acquRint-
ance. He leaned over, blew a little
bad breath and worse tobacco, smoke,
in Governor Shumap's face, and
asked:
"How's things IN Evanston, scr
"Very nicely" replied Governor
Shuman, trying to open the window to,
get breath of fresh air.
Pat leaned over again and allowed
another whiff Of red eye to circulate
around Governor Shuman's head. as lie
said:
sol am glad to hear it, sor. Now.
Old like to AK you
But Governor rShuman. was. des-
perate.
Where are you going, Pat?" no
asked abruptly.
Evanston, sor, was the reply.
Evanston !" exclaimed Governor
Shuman. "Why, you're going the
wrong way. Can't you see you're faced
toward Chicago? Turn the seat over.
The Irishman gave a. start, turned
around and looked toward the engine,
and then glanced out of the wind0w.
"Be hiyens, you're roight| he ex-
claimed. @Oi'm faced the wrong way.

that the front view gives to them look
of being mere aigrettes for full dress.
Observe that in the dresses pictured,
the sleeves, even in black and white
drawing, are distinct from the waist. 1t
is still mOdish to put two different cOlors
into these two sections of gown. The
general plan is to use a darker shade for
the sleeves; but many artistic combina-
tions have been made, and the order may
be reversed; that is, the sleeves may be
lighter than the bodice, or sleeves of
peach, ash-gray or turquOise-blue velvet
may go with q cloth corsage Of marine
black or blue. The new home toilets
shown in figures and all had sleeves
contrasting in color with the bodice.
The outlines in these drawings are so
clear and exact, I trust, that any ingeni-
Gus amateur dressmaker viii be able to
use them in connection with the patterns
which she ordinarily uses IN cutting her
gowns.
By the way, here is a name which the
ladies should forthwith appropriate and

Constantly Asleep.

One Herman Harms, who lives in
Utica, Minnesota, has been asleep for
most of the time for twelve years. He
slept continuously day and night for
three years, and then reused long
enough to work In. O. harvest field part
of one season, when the lethargy re-
turned At the. end of three more
years he again walked up for a few days
and again relapsed. Each day he re-
turns to consciousness for a brief sea-
son, but the spell of sleepiness at once
exerts its sway again, and the man is
as oblivious as though he were dead.
He has been treated with tOnics, quiz
nine, and even strychnine, but without
effect. Two years ago his eldest son,
discouraged at the dark prospect on
the farm, committed suicide, and a
little later the second boy died. At
neither time was the father able to un-
derstand the calamity. His aged wife
has been most constant In her atten-
tons to him, and is his sole guardian.

to nearly every face or form, 1t Is the
oommOnest thing in the world to. see the
harmony of a fine toilet ruined by-a hat
which either by. its shape or color or ma
terials mars the artistic ensemble Of
dress, jacket, gloves and other COM
ponents, Some tall and stout wo-
men get the same idea which tall
man often hatters himself is the correct
thing, namely, to wear as small hat as
possible in the hope to dwarf his size.
The very opposite effect is produced.
The small hat accentuates the great size
of its wearer. In both of my portrait
ures the ladies are tall, straight, and
shapely, and it may easily be seen that
hardly anything IN millinery could look
badly on them. But the wide, picturesque
brims do enhance the wearers' good looks,
and they will improve any sort Of a head
on which they may be placed.
The new round. hats have their brlms
either straight or undulating in fantastic
styles, with many tufts of feathers. The,
thing is to have the knots full, and to ap-
pear to be tied by band in. the middle
and set a little in front. By a violent
contrast, capotes are very small, and are
trimmed with flowers, lace, and narrow
ribbon, ornament with tufts of feath ers.

They worked on the machine for over

When it was first exhibited at the New
York Academy Of Sciences, a few years
ago, 81 murmUr of admiration was
heard, which was succeeded by re-
peatod applause. Some Of the skep-
ticaI members started the Tumor that
the Academy had been mystified by a
clever ventrIOquist, and repeated eX-
periments were required to convince
these mcredulOus persons that no chi
canery was used, and that the talking
machine" could bereadily manipulated
by anyone.
Edison's birthplace is Milan, Ohio.
While yet a boy in his teens, telegraphy
took great hold upon him, and having
one day snatched a statiOn-master's
child from in front of an approaching
train, the grateful father taught him
telegraphy, and from that time he be-
came q systematic student. His ready
ingenuity suggested all sorts of adapt
atoms. One day the ice jam broke the
cable between Port Huron and Sarnia
(0n the Canada side); the river at that
point being a mile and a half in width,
all communication by telegraph was
cut off. Young Edison seized the
valve of an engine that controls the
whistle, which he footed into long and
short notes, like the dots and dashes in
biography. Hello, Sarnia, do you
get me?" he footed; no answer. Hell
10, Sarnia, do you hear what i say %
A third and a fourth time the message
was sent over, and finally came the an
swer from an engine on the other side:
the connection had been made, and
communication easily carried on until
the cable was repaired.
EdisOn's many inventions are legion,
but his photograph, megaphOne, the
quadruplex and duplex systems of tel
egraphy, his telephOne-which alone
netted him over one hundred thousand
dollars-the electric railway and in
candescent electric light, are but a few
Of the best known of his most wonder
fuI and valuable inventions.

times got out Of patience with vOlun-

with all their patriOtitnl, were Of course

ment made some rather laughable
blunders during the drill, and General

adiutant, "but I don't drink
