Recently have been digging well on
my estate and the sound of the premature
blast and the wall of the widow can be
heard all over the place on still day.
The word ''well' comes from the Anglo
Saxon toeaildn, meaning to gush out.
Itoriginally meant to flow, or a naturally
flowing spring, like the German word

Possibly that is it. One of the savants

COUNT ToLsToI has written long
letter to New York paper, giving
his personal observations and expe-
riences In the famine districts of Rus
sia. 1t may correct some impressions
in America to know that this cele-
brated philanthropist and author ac-
quits the general government and the
local functionaries OF either indiffer-
ence or procrastlnation in relief for
the sufferers from famine, but he
finds that, with all that has been
done, and with all that Russia can
do, more than half the suffering must
remain unless people more fortunately
situated contribute to their relief.
There has been so much misinfcrma-
ton in this country regarding the
famine and the attitude of the Rus
sian Government toward the starving
peasants, that this appeal OF Count
Tolstoi's ought to set matters right
and open the purses of those who are
able to help these poor people.

The side breadths must be cut bias
The two back pieces should be cut bias

front is sewed on one side to the lining,
buttoned in the middle, and hooked on
the other side. The passementerie Cir

one side and hooked on the other. The
straight collar has a chemisette sewed
to the lining of the garment and closing

those of velvet being cut straight, split
up and lined with the coral surah. The
undersleeves are pulled, and have a

are sewed at the same time in the arm

with white satinette or thin silk, which
must have two flounces with machine
scalloped edges.
Another lovely loose house gown will
be found in my second illustration, of
an entirely different style and possibly
more likely to call forth fuller chorus
of plaudits than the velvet wrapper, in
that it is younger. It is strange what
an instructive dread of old age there is
in woman's nature. 1t is partly the

stomach Full of Lizards.

1t is reported that post norton
examination of Daniel Mummert,
who recently died in Adams County,
Pennsylvania, found his stomach lit
orally alive with lizards. He had
been suffering for some time with
what the doctors called pulmonary
consumption. A short time ago he
was seized with a violent fit of vom-
iting and threw up six small lizards.
He gradually sank and at his death an
examination was held with the afore-
said results. 1t is said that he trav-
eled about good deal, frequently
drinking from roadside springs, and
ii is thought that he swallowed the
lizards in the water, though no theory
is advanced as to how the lizards
managed to resist the action of the gas
trio juices and to escape smothering.

MIR. WILLIAM L. GARRISON has
written letter complaining of the
treatment Of his son, student in
Harvard College, by his FELLOWSHIP
dents. 1t appears that young Mr..
Mr.. Garrison sought admission to. the
society Of the ID. X. E., which is ac-
counted the tonlest society in the
college. His offer was accepted and
he was put through the initiation
performance, among which was the
burning OF one of his arms bya lighted
cigar, and in consequence he was
made sick, and there was apprehension
for time among the family Of blood
poisoning. The rule of initiation, we
believe, to be that the candidate must
do some silly act or submit to some
silly act being done to him; not al
w1us tho same act h"t inr,a rin hlU a
silly act; and this he understands
when he offers himself for admission.
The thing is mutual. If there is no
sense in it there is a want of sense
on both sides. 1t is the price of dis
tinction. The scar is his badge of
membership. Shortly after the war
between France and Germany in 1870,
when the war passion was high, the
proudest and most popular young men
of Germany were those who had their
faces mutilated by sword cuts.

by climbing up the front of the col

end Of the tie and drop the upper end
straight over it as in Fig. 3. The
end outside Of the bow should be bent

inside OF it. That makes a double
bow-knot, as shown in Fig. 4. Be-
fore, the hnwS ara drawn tight thoy
can be brought down so that they
will be parallel with the ends, as in
Fig. 5. That gives the tie finished
appearance. To keep the knot tight
very small pearl pin, or silver pin
with a small round head can be run
through the back of the knot so that
only glimpse OF the head of the pin
can be obtained from the side. Small
pins were worn last winter, although

In my third illustration you will see
an exquisite little house dress, so grace
full and becoming that 1t would almost

the word liberal. 1t may be made up In

As the great majority of homes fall
within the category Of modest ones, 1t
behooves the lady of the manse to ex-
ercise economy with regard TO dress, and
make the hard earned dollar go as far as
possible. In view of this fact, recon-
mend to your notice the sleeveless vel
vet casaque which you may wear over
any dress and thus often impart to
it a look of newness and tidiness. Black
probably would be more likely 10 go with
the largest number of dresses, but there
are neutral tones which harmonic with
almost everything. These casaques are
at present very modish, and, in addition
to the fact that they are easily made and
quite Inexpensive, they are as rule
very becoming. II you wish to attain a
little mere brilliant effect you may trim
with fur and fit plastron to your gown.
1t is at times quite. astonishing how one
OF these sleeveless casaques will Turkish

of novelty. Skirts keep stubbornly to

Here is one method of making the

To CAPT. w. T. HARD6NBRooK, OF
Company G, Of the Second Regiment,
/. n. g., belongs the doubtful honor
Of an attempt to conduct society on
military principles. Company G was
to give its first annual reception and
ball. 1t came in uniform, as ordered
by Captain Hardenbrook, and, with
it's fair ladies, disposed itself about
the armory hall. Suddenly, however,
it was discovered that the hall was
not Company Cs, but Captain Har-
denbrook's. The Captain Informed
the guards that he had only ordered
them to come to the ball to show off
little, and that, as several army Of
flcers were expected who would object
to association with privates, they
could not be allowed to dance. The
guards protested that they had paid
50 each, and had been invited to
dance. The Captain drew up like a
drum-major. What was 50, he asked,
to discipline? They could go home
if they wished, but they could not
dance. So most of the guards took
their disappointed ladies and left the
hall. The real soldiers, the army
officers, interviewed afterward, de-
clared that the insult to the guards
was purely gratuitous, and that they
had not thought of objecting to a
participation with them in the dance.

the cad is so perfect as to defy de-

Ventura County, California, is the
most prolific bean-growing section In
the world. One ranch Of 1900 acres has
produced 1880 tons of Lima beans this
year. 1t took 81 900 sacks to hold the
crop, and they will fill about 100 cars,
on an average of ten tons to the car.
This will make eight or nine solid trains
