uIGH.ToPPED SLEEVES.

A prominent photographer says: "It
is almost impossible to take good pic
ture of lady who wears a dress with
sleeves puffed and elevated at the shoul
ders. Some of these shoulder humps
are so high that they cause shadow to
be cast over the wearer's neck and the
lower'part of the face. l have had several
instances of spoiled pictures on this ac-
count. At first the failure of the photo
graph to bring out the sitter's chin and
neck iu strong relief puzzled me. I
studied the matter for several days, and
tried experiments with my patrons until
I became satisfied that the trouble was
caused by the high-topped sleeves. I
demonstrated that such was the fact TO
one lady by drawing scarf closely about
her shoulders. Without the scarf all at
tempts to geta good picture of her failed.
With the scarf I succeeded the first time
in getting picture that revealed clear
ly the outlines of her face and neck"

EMMA ABBOTT SAVED TWO LIVES.

Emma Abbott was of singularly i'm
petuous temperament. About ten years
ago Jennie Smith and Covert D. Bennett
were condemned in New jersey to be
hanged for the murder of the woman's
husband, Jersey City policeman. The
accused persons had had two trials and
the gallows awaited them. Their coun-
sci, however, said that if he could get
$1,000 he could secure another trial and
acauit them. Emma Abbott read this
announcement in newspaper, aud in
stantly calling cab, she visited Judge
Hilton, August Belmont, sr., Henry
Drexel and other millionaires, soliciting
aid for Mrs. Smith and Bennett. She
started on the tour about 9 o'clock
A. NJ, and at 2:30 P. NJ. had the money
collected. She sent it to the Rev. DR..
Rice, of Jersey City, who devoted it to
the purpose intended. A new trial was
granted the condemned people and they
we're acquitted. Orleans Pieasuac.

WHAT TO DO WITH OLD DRESSES.

Mrs. Lynn Linton makes suggestion
in a letter to the Queen which seems to
me to be a thoroughly practical one. 1t
appears that ladies' maids get the old
clothes of their mistresses, in addition
to high wages. These clothes are sold
to persons who resell them to those in
humble positions who like to have we'll
cut dresses or cloaks ION the cheap"
Mrs. Linton asks why maids should have
these perquisites, and proposes that
ladies should send all their cast off
clothes to some depot, those garments
which are suitable for poor women to be
given away, and those that are not to be
sold and the money applied to aid the
poor. Mrs. Linton calls this the West
End helping the East End; and if the
scheme could be carried out it would no
doubt relieve much distress.-Londoa

No one doubts that DR..

No one doubts that DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy really
cures Catarrh, whether the
disease be recent or of long
standing, because the makers
of it clinch their faith in it
with a $500 guarantee, which
isn't a mere newspaper guar
antee, but con call" in a
moment.
That moment is when you
prove that it's makers can't
cure you.
The reason for their faith
is this:
DR.. Sage's remedy has
proved itself the right cure
for ninety-nine out Of one
hundred cases of Catarrh in
the Head, and the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton can afford to take the
risk of your being the one
hundredth.
The only question is-are
you willing to make the test,
if the makers are willing to
take the risk?
If so, the rest is easy. You
pay your druggist so cents
and the trial begins.
If you're wanting the $500
you'll get something better

A woNDRoUs PETTIcoAT.

A pett1coat of scarlet moire lined with
flannel is the somewhat startling one ad-
vised by an English journal to a corre-
spondent asquite the newest IN such gar
ments. In New York shops those of shot
silk of neutral tint and founced are still
extensively sold and must be pronounced
by most women as in better taste. The
return to velvet ribbon neck bands has
evidently heralded the appearance, now
also reported, of velvet collarettes. These
are of piece velvet, made to match the
bonnet, and are sometimes studded with
jewels or fringed with pearls. Chicago

His IJni0ue Sign.

A striking signboard may sometimes
be the means of making its owners
fortune. There are plenty of places in
New York where old umbrellas are
mended, but the west side mcnder who
put up the sign "Umbrella Hospital"
struck an idea that none OF his rivels had
thought of. People laughed at it, took
second glance at it, looked at the
place, and told their acquaintance about
it, thus advertising the umbrella hospital
and sending customers to it. Unless the
signs fail, that signboard will yet enrich
its inventor. Detroit Free Press.

o is stoned diap.

top beyond ig is sloped dag
onally to meet two shorter breadths that
are similarly sloped, and parts of two
three-cornered breadths, also sloped in
the middle, are set in at the foot to give
fulness to the bottom of the skirt. The
outside material is usually of cloth of
double width, and has therefore fewer
lengthwise seams than the foundation
skirt. 1t is cut in three crosswise pieces
passing straight around the figure, each
tapping slightly upon that below it, and
and each third of the length of the
skirt in depth when finished with a
stitched hem. These pieces also have
the sloped seam in the back, and are
sewed on the foundation skirt without
fulness. Such skirts arc most worn with
round waists that are slipped under the
skirt, hence the top of the skirt is
trimmed with passementerie to give a
pretty finish to the bodice. At the foot
of the skirt is usually band of fur OF
feathers and passementerie.- .-Rarper' $

RECIPE FOR COLD CREAM.

To make an excellent cold cream take
white wax and spermaceti, of each one
ounce; almond oil, three ounces; otto OF
rose, as much as you please. Dissolve
the wax and spermaceti in the almond
oil by means of heat, and when little
cool, pour the mixture into large NOR
tar or bowl previously warmed and con-
tanning about one pint of warm water.
Stir briskly until the cream is well
divided; add the otto of rose, and sud-
denly pour the whole into vessel con-
tanning about two gallons of cold water.
Separate the cream by straining through
muslin; shake out as much water as pos
;ible and put away in small jars.-De'

NOVEL RENovAToRs.

If in sewing you get machine oil on
your goods, dampen with rain water,
and cover with cooking soda. 1t will
clean the fabric and not hurt it. sup
pose you know the sharp acid of toma-
10 will remove almost any stain as readily
as lemon juice. A tablespoonful of coal
oil or turpentine will whiten clothing if
out into the water while they are boiling.
Rubbing tin tea kettle with cloth
saturated with coal oil will make it
bright as new. 1t is also splendid as a
cleaner of furniture; also if mixed with
blue ointment and applied to bedstead
that is infested with vermin, it is a sure
remedy.-Daughters of america.

A Ball00nist's Fright.

H. Hennequin, of Paris, France, who
has had some experience in aerial nava-
ton, arrived in the city yesterday from
San Francisco on his way home, and
during his stay in Chicago called on Mr..
Pennington, of airship fame, at the
Grand Pacific Hotel. Mr.. Hennequin
was in Fontenay at the time Tissindler
and Cover had their startling adventure
in a balloon. The traveller is an intimate
friend of Cover, and tells the Ito y of
their fall of mile as the balloonlst re-
lated it to him.
"They ascended from Tissindler's
house in Paris, and foated off toward
Vlncennes, and as the wind was some
what strong from the northeast, the two
men soon disappeared from the view of
Paris, having risen to height of about
1900 feet. When they had reached
FonteDay, they were fully 5000 feet
above the earth. They were sailing
along smoothly. watching the scenes be-
low, when suddenly they seemed to fall
into hole in the atmosphere and down
they went at a terrific rate. Cover
glanced at the needle of the verticle
scale. 1t was travelling with lighting
speed. A roar filled their ears, and both
men thought their time had come.
Nothing had happened to the balloon.
1t was in perfect condition, but there
seemed to be no air to hold it up. Tis-
sindler desperately threw out sand-bags.
They were falling SO rapidly that the
bags were left far behind and disap-
reared above them. The earth seemed
TO be rushing at them with the speed of
comet. There seemed to be no atmos-
phere left, and they could scarcely
breath. AS a last resort Tissindler
threw over the anchor and the remaining
ballast, and the big balloon, after rush
of mile through the sky, regained its
poise, and they were saved. The earth
was but fifty feet below"
This goes to show" continued Mr..
Hennequin, "that too much precaution
cannot be observed in carrying plenty of
ballast. There are in the air occasional
rarefactions and when a balloon once
gets into one of them it drops like q
piece of lead. Cover and Tissindler
sailed into a veritable pit in the air and
had they not had lots of ballast aboard
they would have been dashed to pieces. y

TENNIS FABRICS.

The new tennis flannels are shown in
wool with mixture of silk, or of cot
ton, and in pure wool. There is also
durable goods in silk schape and cotton
which is sold among the Nnnis fannels.
The silk and wool mixtures are all that
could be desired in cool texture and light
weight for athletic dresses. They are
made in variety of even stripes, of blue,
red, rose or gray with white. 1t is also
easy to find wide stripes and narrow
ones to match them in color and style
for combination dresses. These fannels
are thirty inches wide and seventy-fve
cents yard. Wool tennis fannels and
mixtures of cotton and wool range from
twenty-five to forty cents yard.-Bos-
