uHELLo" GIRLS ARE san

The rage for uniforms has captured
Chicago. The other day there was
mourning in the Chicago telephone
offices, not for friends departed nor ma.
rents dead, but over a uniform as devoid
OF color as the shades of night aud as
plain as Quaker's habit.
Three weeks ago the Chicago Tcle
phone Company issued an order that all
its operators should dress in black after
October LIST. Several designations ut once
took place, but the large majority
yielded and donned their nuns costume.
They do not take as kindly to the idea as
the police matrons, who within the past
lew days have been officially uniformed
In the regulation blue OF the department.
"lt was done to preserve uniformity
OF dress among the girls said Manager
Tetu, of the the telephone company,
who insists that it was u request. not an
order. The request applied to every
body, even to the chief aud her assist.
ants.
No uniform has been furnished, but
the general or1er is that each girl be
dressed in black, even to apron and

1t has been suggested that the havoc
created among the young gentleman en-.
ploycd by the company by the witchery
OF the operators was the basis of the or
der, but the girls claim that the elevator
boy is the Only member of the opposite
sex they see, and that lie is shy and ut

Raises y Dis Rumpus In Circus In In

diana
The mistake of a careless keeper in
the menagerie of Ringing Brothers
circus, while exhibiting in Frankfort,
Ind, recently, almost resulted in the
killing OF one Of the attendants and
tho breaking loose of the wild ami
mails Of the meuagerie. Babe" the
biggest elephant OF the circus, was
taken with cramps, and the veter.
mary surgeon OF the show prescribed
tablespoonful of peppermint In a
pint of whisky once In half an hour.
Ryan, the elephant keeper, procured
, jug containing q gallon of whisky,
and Babe was given dose. Ryan had
occasion to leave the tent, and care
lessly left the jug within reach of the
Elephant, who had had taste Of the
contents. When Ryan returned he
was surprised to find the jug un.
cOrked and empty. Fearing discharge,
should his carelessness be discovered,
and knowing full well where the con.
tents of the jug had gone, he fastened
to nearby saloon to have it refilled
before the mistake should be found
put.
But it was not long before the ele.
plant began to develop symptoms OF
tntoxication. The attention of other
keepers was attracted by peculiar
noises, the like of which they had
never heard before. They fastened
to the tent to find the huge brute
rocking from side to side with g
peculiar light in its little eyes. One
Of the men took an elephant hook
and endeavored to calm the excited
beast, but the medicine was not OF a
soothing nature, and Babe became
very angry. With remarkably quick
motion the keeper was seized by the
elephants trunk, and after being
held aloft fully minute was vic.
lently thrown about twenty-five feet,
fortunately striking against the side
of the tent and narrowly missing Q
pole.
With single mighty effort tho
chains were broken ana Babe was
free. Staggering from side TO side,
the animal commenced wild ram
page through the menagerie. The
other elephants were panic-stricken,
and the Gagged animals made mad
efforts to free themselves. The tank
of the hippopotamus was in the path
of the recling elephant, and with
loud trumpetings it commenced an
attack which would have shortly de.
molished the cage had not the keep
BIS succeeded in entangling the legs
of the elephant in ropes in such
manner that it was rendered help
less. In two hours the effects of the
whisky had passed of, and Babe was
Us peaceable as eyer and free from
cramps.

LOOK TO YOUR HAED

When the hand is broad the unrclcat.
Ing cuff or tightly fitting wristband
makes it appear doubly so; so also does
the fashion of wearing little finger
rir-:. Rings on any but the third finger
nggravate the breadth and give roturiet
effect in spite of the cxcrtions of the
manicure. In the choice OF rings and
their disposition on the hand much art
may be brought to bear. On fat hand
pearls look well; on q bony one they
look atrocious-at least, the hands do.
1t may be difficult to persuade our fair
friends Tint bony hand is best left alb.
solutcly alone and unadorned, that
precious stones but add to its hard and
horny look.
Red hands should shun contiguity
with pearls, turquoises,or even diamonds.
Fine old signet rings, black pearls, sap
phires, onyx, antique intaglii and lapis
lnzuli, or pigeon blood e'bies, are the
most suitable ornaments, If decoration
be hungercd for. Informed finger nails,
whatever the teaching of the manicure,
should never be highly polished. Al
mond-shaped tips, lustrous as gems, arc
fascinating to degree; but an I'M
natural gloss is apt to make square. un-
shapely nails terribly prominent. Even
when taper fingers terminate in lengthy
nails whose shape is irreproachable, if
there be opacity beyond the flesh they
have no attractions, and careful, cutting
and trimming should he rcsorted too
