This morning / saw a bonnet before
which was compelled to pause, says a
writer In the Brooklyn Times. 1t was
made of a stripe Of gold galloon laid about
the head and convoluted curiously. One
angle stood up pertly at the back like a
little born. On the extreme point OF this
horn futtered gold butterfly. Another
butterfly poised in front over the gailoon
crinkles. The braid was be wn with pearls,
and next the hair was a thick wreath OF
crushed roses.
Two hats Of black gauze we're character
istic. Both were fat and curved down q
little at the Sides One was loose In its
meshes, light and misty. 1t had no trim
ming, but a group of three or four white
"blow-away" just ready to take wing as
the breeze touched them where they spread
their feathers behind.
The other had at the back great stand
ing bow of ribbon Of peculiarly vivid rose
pink, color that exists in nature only in
the evel-to-be-rememb ered wild roses of
Cape Ann. With this ribbon was set a
branch of rose leaves, and about the head
under the lace and subdued in tint by shin
ing through it, was twisted more ross rib

A hat that would be pretty for q far

set with pearls. The brim is silver straw
in an open-work lace pattern much bent
and folded, and at the back there are silver
ribbons knotted with lew vio.ets.

As for shiny noses, there are two kinds of
iniquity which they indulge it. One is a
nice damp, misty -moisty" condition OF the
cuticle, which results in a brilliant condition,
like the surface of pool in the sunshine.
The best remedy for this, which is the bane
of dancers, is to battle the offending feature
in a strong solution of alum water and
carefully cover it with some pure face
powder. The other manifestation of de-
PRAYED nose is the so-called "dry polish, ~
resembling that on old mahogany or rose
wood highly finished. The best cure for
this is to avoid the use of soap, wash with a
flannel cloth, and dry carefully and tender
ly with soft fowl
The only cure for "blackheads' is the
Turkish bath or frequent steaming over hot
water. Fill the pores from which the black
heads are sometimes expelled with STRONG
alum water, which will close them.
The most fitting conclusion is tie story
OF the girl with the retrousse nose. who
could never we'd, because the only man she
ever saw with nose she felt would be con-
genial to hers was a stranger to her. This
man had broken nose. and as he passed
she sighed. 81 am sure we could have been
happy together. he would never dare to
speak scornfully of my defect, or l of his.
Our noses were mutually trying and unde-
sirable, and we could have sympathized
with each other"

The pretty fashion of making the salad

season dinners, says the New York Times
Before the preceding course has been re-
moved the servant brings to the hostess a
shallow silver bowl, into which are broken
the yolks Of two eggs. Before her are also
placed the old decanter, two tiny silver
pepper boxes holding white and cayenne

mordant, and bit OF lemon on plate, or a

An enterprising dressmaker has invented
a spring for these hig n -shouldered sleeves,
which will keep the shoulder puffs in place,
though the material be ever SO light and
gauzy, or ever so heavy. The sleeves,
rather than being gathered in at the arm
hole, as formerly, are shirrel and placed
high upon the shoulders, directly upon the
dress material This secures a pTettier fl
for both shoulders and sleeves.
AS an Offset to the newest bodices, deep
fall of lace, the widest the wearer can al
ford, is gathered upon tie bottom Of the
basque. The lace must be of some soft
make, and must be SO disposed that it is not
full, nor yet scant. This frequently forms
the only trimming for the skirt, which is
plain down to the bottom Of the demi-train
and Is slightly relieved at front and sides
by narrow braiding and ribbon or gilt
trimming.
Foundation skirts are made 30 that the
stray glimpses which one gets of them are
not such as TO offend the eye. If the founda-
ton skirt is of plain lining cambria, a
double row of the dress goods is sewn
around It in two broad bands and hem of
the same Is added. As the wearer lifts her
drapery In crossing a street or draws it
aside in seating herself, the skirt, as it is re-
vealed, seems as IL trimmed for popular
gaze and not for concealment like skeleton

THE WOES OF A RICH MAN,

The Merchant Prince Not One to Be
Envied.
A few years ago, in some mysterious way
never sufficiently explained, rude oil
painting about eight inches by twelve in
size was conveyed to Detective Fuller's
Office. Near the middle of the canvas
space had been lett blank, and in the middle
of it was written: "a. T. Stewards body is
buried here"
Inquiry developed the fact that the spot
represented in the painting was in Cypress
Hills Cemetery, and men were set to work
at once digging for the dead merchants
missing body. OF course they didn't find it,
but the hoax was nine days wonder and
the newspapers published columns about it.
l am reminded of all this and of the
pleasant days | then spent lying on my back
on n grassy bank in the cemetery watching
the men dig and idly waiting for something
to turn up worth writing about, by recent
events showing how the curse has followed
the mans millions. Judge Hilton, who has
somehow gained possession of the most of
them. has recently given 100000 to the
Garden City Cathedral TO quiet his con-
science, some say, and is bringing suit
against some OF the other heirs in one of
those interminable actions which will never
end till the day of judgment.
Even in his life the Merchant Prince was
sCdIceIy Huppy HAIL. OQe Oh my most
vivid recollectons Is of the story told by
friend in the wholesale business who had
occasion one day to call upon Mr.. Stewart
in his private office. My friend was young
and impressonable. "Ah, how happy that
man must be!' he thought as he saw the
splendor of the establishment and noted
with what awe the employees spoke their
masters name. What would hot do to
be as rich as he is ?''
After some little delay he was ushered
into a room with big desk piled
with papers, and sitting behind it a
withered, pale and tremulous man, pre-
matnrely old, crushed by the weight
of affairs. He was scolding one OF his
clerks in a querulous tone about some
trifing matter which seemed anything but
tIitiing to the clerk at the moment. BY and
by his breakfast was brought in on & tray
it was about 10 o'clock-and with ravenOus
haste he devoured q few morsels.
Almost Immediately he was taken with
violent fit of retchnc and-well, have you
ever been seasick? Then no matter.
Take it away! Take it awayv whis-
pered Mr.. Stewart weakly, when the
Daroxysm was over, waving back the tray
with his thin hand.
MY God!' said my friend afterward in
telling me of the incident. Il wouldn't
change places with that man for twice his
wealth. st Louis Post Dispatch

was the greater because the two hawse

But above water there was neither bulwark

simply arched up over and met amidships.

PAPER WITH SILK IN IT..
Something About the Fiber on whic

Something About the Fiber on Which
United States Notes Are Printed.
Anybody who wishes can go into the big
Crane & Co.'S factory at Dalton, Mass, and
see the workmen place the blue silk on the
machine that makes the paper for all the
United States notes. The silk comes in
spools and is made by Belding of North
ampton. 1t is sold here in Bangor. There
is no more secret about it than there is about
the water flowing over the dam above the
tolLgate.
The real secret is in the composition OF the
paper. The silk thread is secured by
patent, to be sure, but the making of the
paper, the compound of the ingredients, is
safe in the head of j. Murray Crane, who
received the art from his father, who made
bonds for Salmon 2. Chase, Lincoln's Sec
rotary OF the Treasury, away back in war
times.
The pure linen pulp is in big room,
looking for all the world like any linen pulp.
Then comes j. Murray Crane with a grip
sack. He and the grip" enter the room
together. and it is presumed that he locks
the door, for the door IS locked on the in
side, and the grip" does not look able 10
do it.
They are closeted half an hour. When
they come out the pulp goes TO the paper
machine, and Mr. Crane and the grip 20
home. But the pllp is changed by that
visit, and nobody has been able to pene-
trate the Crane secret. Tile company gets

ABOUT MASTODONS.

of the mastodon remains just discovered at

said he, land showed me rib which he
said he had dug up. 1t was certainly mas
todon rib. He said he was going to dig for
the rest of it, but doubt if he finds very
much more. You can easily see how this
might be. Suppose an OK gets stuck in the

Bones decompose. If there is a food they
become scattered. So, you see, before time
has dug grave in which the remains of our

chance has scattered them far and wide.
So it is with the fossil remains of the
mastOdon and mammoth, and the man who
finds one bone of the animal and digs for the
rest is very apt to be disappointed. There
is hardly a county in the United States,
west of New England, where remains of

An American Invention That Liverpool

a Style Of Cargo Ship That Originated on the

We present this week illustrations of
new build of cargo ship which owes its in

quent occurrence in the fall, and from these
conditions arose the system of transporta-
ton by barges towed by steamer. This
plan works fairly, but, in heavy gale, say
some night in a snow squall off Long Point,
the tow-line breaks or is cut by the fright
ened captain of the steamer. Then the barge
is apt to drift ashore. the crew be washed
overheard to drown or freeze to death on
board, but the lumber is not infrequently
saved, the main thing in the eye of the
owner.
Another source of danger to the barge is
the force with which. in gale, high waves
will slap up against her walled sides with
force that makes her shiver, and the impact
OF the wave on her bluff bow would actually
stop her progress
Considering these things. fresh water
mariner named McDougall invented and
had built "whaleback barge" which ap-
