1nterlude playing between the verses
of hymn is gradually becoming lost
art Not many years ago no organist
would allow hymn to be sung without
an interlude of some length after each
verse, but now the most that is expect
ed is a short succession of chords after
each alternate verse. and even this is
often omitted. The reason is very
obvious. Poor organists find the inter
lude the most troublesome part of the
performance and are glad to omit it,
while good performers have other op-
portunities to display their abilities
The change is for the better, for the in

purchased of a peddler a bottle of
patent medicine warranted to cure all

"Yes, sir, do. Twas SO i'll that /

White Linen Again in Favor.

a point to be thankful for is the re-
newed love for fair white linen, super
seding steadily the fancy color both in
substance and decoration. Embroidery,
lace insertion and edges are all favored.
Embroidered or plain, the linen must
be white. good in quality, and plentiful
in quantity. OF towels there are ap-
parentlv unlimited varieties, from the
huge bath sheet to a dainty luadrilater-
al of damask that would put many nap
kins to shame Apropos of napkins,
how long will it be before we give up
the habit of starching these things to
the extent that seems indispensable in
most houses? A rumor is afoat that in
some of the best French houses this
stiffness is conspicuous by its absence.
To be sure that would put an end to the
am bilious napkin folding which is the
joy of the unframed buffers heart

Sound SleeperS.

Two men on Long Island We're in a
wagon when it was run down by a
train. The wagon was demolished. the
horses attached to it were killed. and
the two men, when picked out from un-
der several hundred pounds of oysters,
were sound asleep. If a railroad col
lision. a shower of oysters rained on
bodies and the general uproar and eX-
element of such an accident can not
waken two men. what in the world
can? Dynamite can have no terror for
men of this stamp. and if an earth
quake were to shake Long Island into
the ocean. or volcano were to have an
eruption like Nesuv ius, these two oys-
termen would probably have sweet
dreams and smile in their slumbers like
children in their cradles. thinking they
were being gently rocked. The sleep
ing beauty in the enchanted palace is

NOTES OF THE MODES,
Fresh Fabrics and Fashions for Wintel
Costumes.

Costumes.
Some of the latest imported chic
French street wraps are belted in at the
waist
Nothing surpasses striped surahs and
dainty shot taffetas for pretty inexpen-
sive evening toilets They catch and
reflect the light and simmer in an at
tractive fashion and they do not soil
easily.
The present styles are in general ef-
feet very much like those of the time
of Louis Philippe. During that period.
as now, the fashions We're characterized
by full or moderately full corsage. with
sleeves prominent at the armhole and
close, plain skirt with a ruche or frill
at the foot.
Striped fabrics, like the plaided
goods, are made up quite on the bias,
and there is nothing but three ''bebe'
frills, or tiny puff of silk or roll of fur
at the hem. There are also seen three
spaced bands of fur on cloth skirts, but
in a few cases this spaced trimming
reaches to the knees.
The new French silk muslins, strewn
with embroidered flower sprays, make
| exquisite dancing dresses for girls. The
dainty, diaphanous fabric is wide
| enough to make the length of the skirt
with wide hem at the bottom. The
| muslin is gathered to the bodice with
| the fulluess well kept back.
Just at present there are more feath-
ers used upon rich tea gowns. airy ball
dresses and reception robes than the
inappropriate fur bands, which always
look incongruous upon any of these
elegant indoor toilets, but which for
several seasons have proved a decided
success, and are still very fashionab BILE.
Yellow satin is in high vogue this
winter for the making of elegant even
ing gowns. 1t is an exquisite candle
light color. and has invariably distin-
guished appearance that compels no.
tice: but there are yellows and yellows,
and the rose-tinted blonde does not se-
lect the same shade as her dark haired,
dark-eyed sister. The best test for any
type or complexion is to mass the
shades beneath the chin, one after the
other, letting the mirror decide.
Much attention is given just now to
costumes designed for receptions,
grand dinners, balls and teas In these
is noticed an infinite variety of styles
and an exhibition of elegance in orna-
mentatlon seldom surpassed. AL
though a certain compliance with trav-
cling ideas is apparent in every fash
ionable toilet, there is practically no
limit to the historical and artistic eff
fects in the creation of fashionable
gowns designed for the gay season of
81.
The close coat sleeve is os popular as
the full bishop or leg O. mutton. in
deed. it is preferred by nearly every
stout woman instead of the voluminous
styles The coat sleeve, however, to
meet with present requirements. has
shoulder trimmings in the shape of
either caps, braids. chevrons or gimp
edged Nandykes and silk cord ara
besques arranged in fanciful devices.

flowing japanese sleeve appears. thus

THE GRIPPE.

Many of our readers are now suffering
with the Grippe. 1t is well to remember
that it always attacks the weak and par
tioulariy aged people. If you have weak
ness in any organ the grippe is pretty sure
to find it out. The main thing is to keep
the stomach free from the malady and to
enable it to assimilate the food. So long
as this is done the system will triumph
over the disease. As soon as you find that
you have the grippe get bottle of RElD'S
GERMAN COUGH AND KIDNEY
CURE. This affects the disease in four
ways, or rather it aooomplishes four re-
suits, all of which are highly important I'm
the domestic economy. In the first place IL
aids the digestion and keeps the miorobeS
out of the stomach. In the next place IL
arouses the kidneys and separates the uric
acid from the blood. In the third place IL
heals the lungs and sooth.s the infiamed
surfaces, and lastly it relaxes the bowels
When this work is fully accomplished
there is no further danger from the grippe

CALF-FEEDlNG TESTS.
Skinned Milk and Flax Seed Compared
with Whole Milk.

with Whole Milk.
At the Iowa station, experiments
nave been in progress to determine the
feeding value of ground fax seed for
Young calves. A bull and a heifer cali
of the Holstein and shorthorn breeds
were chosen, the two bulls being fed
on whole milk. and the two heifers on
milk SKINNED after being set twelve
hours, with as much fax seed as they
could assimilate without securing
These experiments lasted months,
the calves being weighed every Is days
The results indicate:
l. That a ration of skim milk and
ground fax seed compare favorably
with a new milk ration for young
calves.
2. The skim milk and fax seed meal
fed calves were less interrupted in
their growth by weaving, than were
the whole milk calves
3. a saving value of butter fat alone
of Sill per month on each calf. was
effected by substituting the ground
fax seed.
4. The cost of producing pound of
gain, estimating new milk at 81 X cents
per hundred pounds, skim milk at Is
cents per hundred pounds, grain / cent
per pound. hay IS per ton (the latter
two being fed alike to both lots). and
fax seed meal 81 cents per pound.
was 7-6 cents per pound increase with
the fresh milk ration, and only 5 cents
with the skim milk ration.
1t appears from this that where
there are proper facilities for convert
ing the butter fat into butter. it is
much more economical to feed calves

1t is well known that dry sand is
one of the best things that can be used
for killing an incipient oil fire, and
some factories where Oil is used have
been equipped with pals for this mate
rial in various departments. 1t is now
suggested that many dwelling-house
fires caused by lamp explosions might
be averted by keeping some of the or
namental vases in the rooms filled with
sand, SO that it would be ALWAYS at
hand and ready for use in case of need.
further incidental advantage of this
precaution is that fragile pieces of por-
celain, by being so ballasted, would be
rendered much less liable to breakage
