The Josephine.

The government steamboat Josephine
anchored at the landing about 10 O'Clock
Saturday morning. Capt. Joe Gould is
in charge and the boat is manned by a
crew of about twenty-five men. For the
past two years the Josephine has been
building dams in the Yellowstone. She
left Benton August 29th and expert
enced a rather rough voyage until Fort
Buford was seached, from which place
she has had a pleasant trip. On board
is a snagging outfit which the crew is
repairing here. 1t was not known just
where the boat would start work. The
boat is familiar to old-timers and in the
boom days often visited Bismarck. She
is lot quite as large as the Abner
O'Neal, but similarly constructed. She
will probably lay in port here for some
time and may commence operations near
here and work north. One of the crew
who came the entire voyage showed the
TRIBUNE representative some rare spe-
cies of stone. There is a large and valu-
able collection of curiosities on board,
including Indian skulls, deer heads, buf-
falo horns and some large chunks of
petrified wood. cit is a beautiful trip
now" said the boatman. IT would not
have missed it. About $50 miles this

Along with other useful hints to home
dressmakers, Harper's Bazaar has the fol.
lowing to say about dress sleeves:
Sleeves are moderately full and very long,
and are made over fitted lining. Most of
the shapes now used are in one piece, some
of them having second seam below the
elbow, while Others have their fullness held
in two small plaits on the under side
meeting at the bend of the arm A sleeve
Of moderate fullness is cut tive inches longer
than its lining to give height 10 the shoul

bias and much wider than the lining; a
cluster of plaits is taken on the outside of
the arm below the elbow TO make it mar.

buttons set in row down its length, Civ
ing the effect of a cuff. Very long sleeves
are rounded on the end to curve along the
back of the hand or to fare slightly, with
the inside cut straight and reaching only
to the hand. A narrow passementerie
trims such sleeves Other sleeves, cut
straight around the wrist, have merely a
band of velvet or silk around them, the
edge finished with ruillc Of lace or of
chiffon muslin, or it may be of ribbon, fall

A writer in The Examiner tells the fol.
lowing story: It was a warm, sleepy after
moor, and the scholars in Miss Plummer's
school looked and acted a- if they wished
4 O'Clock would come quickly.
The class in mental arithmetic were
lazily drOning through their lesson when
Deacon Day popped his CHEEKY face in at
the door. All the children loved him, and
were glad when he came to visit the school.
Perhaps he saw they needed something
TO wake them up, SO when the class was
through With the lesson he gave them this
problem:
"lf eighteen cows were going through q
narrow gate where only one could pass at
a time, which COW could look back and
say, There are eleven pairs Of horns be-
bind me-"
The class thought busily for a minute,
then up came Tommy Tufts hand.

"No, it isn't the eighJh," the deacon said.
About the same time little Johnny
Hartshorn on the front seat began to
snicker.
''What are you laughing at, johnny"
asked Miss plummer.
"Cows-can't-tuIE! gigSIed Johnny.
Deacon Day laughed too, then.
Johnny has answered it," he said.
"None of the cows could do it of course"
Then all the scholars laughed, and woke
up for the rest of the day. and Deacon Day
bowed himself out.

so he instructed good number Of them
to give him dime after having marked
it and carefully noted the date. About
a dozen of the bystanders did so, ana he

a lamp Shade Of rlssue Paper.

A Good Housekeeping correspondent
tells how to make that inexpensive, pretty
and useful knickknack, tissue paper
lamp shade, as follows: Take sheet of
French tissue paper, leave it double as you
get it, then double in the middle, making
almost a square; fold each side back, max
ing it triangular shaped, and continue so
to do pressing each fold down firmly till
it is too small to fold further. Take out
all the folds loosely, and by taking hold
of the paper at the point draw through
the hand till it is very finely creased. If
for a hanging lamp leave the full sheet
with the points to hang down, or use two
such sheets, and the points alternating
will make it many pointed. Cut hole in
the center and slit it up the side to get it
on the hanging lamp, then fasten together
with mucilage

Men are advised as follows in Sartorial

Don't wear silk handkerchief unless
you wish TO be considered out of line with

bedchamber.
The japanese crazy cloth, which Il
stamped with gilt figures, is very suitable
either for long or short curtains, as il
comes in a variety of colorings.
For north rooms yellow hangings ar
particularly appropriate, while in roomi
with a sunny exposure the colder blue
look better.
