A new skirt trimming has lace ar

pearing where the foncing is caught up
Double jacket fronts, the outer ones Of
the dress material, the inner of silk,
continuing to form high collar, are
popular.
Alsatian bows, with full cluster Of
flowers or feathers standing up from the
middle of the bow, are stylish and
becoming trimming for young ladies.
Butterfly bows are popular trim

these are seen on one sleeve Of new
costume. There are very nearly OF
quite four dozen on the entire dress.
Sleeves are growing more elaborate
A few new importations. with plain
leg-'o-mutton sleeves, are seen, but the
majority of them are pulled, frilled and
trimmed with bows, lace, ribbons

It is very evident that long skirts fo1

There is much to be thankful for in this

A Chem Stone Eoad.

In 1871 a piece of we'll made dirt road
in the small village of Gilbert, J. y miles
east of the city of Davenport, Ia, was
selected for a little experiment. The
road was sixty feet wide, with sidewalks
and cutters, the latter occupying about
sixteen feet, leaving forty-four feet for
the highway proper. Five feet from the
center line of this forty-four feet, on
both sides of it, were staked boards, end
to end, each board one foot wide. Be
tween these boards was dumped lime
stone, broken fine enough to pass through
a pinch ring. When the space between
the boards was two-thirds full the first
boards filled were moved forward
When the boards were removed the
upper edges of the rock rolled down,
thus widening the rock track between
one and two feet, leaving on each side
of the stone good dirt road sixteen feet
wide.
When the dirt surface became muddy
the travel went over the stone center,
which was thus made solid and smooth
without an expensive roller. This ex-
pertinent was completed in 1878 and the
travel over it was probably five times
as much as upon the average country
road. For sixteen years it remained in
perfect condition. Within the last two
years about three dollars has been ex
pended upon it in repairs. 1t is in per
feet condition still. Its original cost
was ninety cents for each twenty-five
cubic feet of stone. Had the same
policy continued, every rod of highway
in the district would have been macad
amized at this time, and no expense in
CURED except the ordinary highway tax
and from one-half to two-thirds of thai
tax might now be relinquished.-Nev

A French Funeral Custom.

A funeral custom in vogue at present
is for the mourners at the obsequies of
some person of limited means to follow
the hearse in an omnibus. To be sure
it is a very solemn vehicle, all black,
with Omnibus Funeraire" inscribed in
large silver letters ON either side, so that
the careless outsider shall not bounce
into the midst of the mourning multi
tude, but on the whole it seems to belit-
tie the dignity of grief. However, the
average Partisan does not specially en-
joy funerals unless they are grand Off
cial functions, when the crowd that
line2the streets has most unaffectedly
good time and is unsparing of lively and
frivolous criticisms ON every detail of
the affair-Paris Letter.

Most Fans Are Made in Paris.

Most of the finer fans sold here are
made in Paris and in three or four sub
urban villages near by. No fanmaker
knows the whole art. All the workers
in one village make sticks; those in an
other fold those in third supply the
bows that hold the sticks together. The
making of the upper sticks is trade by
itself. After all the parts have been
made they are sent to the great factories
in Paris to be put together. A fanmaker
begins his apprenticeship in childhood.
The tools are few and simple.
Most of the carving and filigree work
is done with chisel or scroll saw. The
pattern, traced ON paper, is pasted on
the piece of bone or ivory or wood from
which the fan stick is to be made, and
the iligree is rapidly cut with saw.
Tortoise shell sticks are made by special
workers in shells. That is a difficult,
delicate and well paid art. A few skill
full shell workers are in New York, and
they are among the best paid artisans

The fact that the Indian can vote If
he lives sin severalty" and pays taxes
like any other citizen comes up at odd
times to bother new states and terri
tories. In 1859 it raised a great row in
Minnesota. The legislature having en-
acted that Indians, whether on a reser-
walton or not, who had taken certain
steps in civilization, such as dressing
like white men and wearing their hair
ditto, should have the right to vote, one
Cullen, an Indian agent, promptly cut
the hair of all those in his charge, put
breeches ON them and marched them to
the polls.
Among the humors of the next cam
paign was a dialogue like this: 'Heh,
who cut your hair?" "Cullen & Co."
Now Judge John Dills and other law
yers declare that the Indians in Oklaho-
ma will be entitled to vote at the COM
ing elections. They say the law pro-
vides that Indians taking land in sever
atty have the same right of franchise as
any citizen, and if this opinion be good
law the candidates will have $500 In
dams to buttonhole. If the Indians vote
it is likely to make a great difference III
the congressional contest.

a Pet Crow.

A we'll known up town family has a
pet crow which is given the liberty of
the whole household. 1t is as precise
and particular about its appearance as
prudish young maiden, and frequently
it is allowed a place in the dining room
when the family meal is eaten. When
night comes it stations itself at one of
the fence corners and keeps looking
out for intruders until the early dawn,
setting up loud cawing at the sight of
any stranger approaching. A valuable
diamond earring belonging to one of the
daughters was missed from the dress
ing case the other day while the crow
was perched on the window sill. Search
was made everywhere for the missing
piece of jewelry without success, and
the finding of it was given up as one of
the impossibilties.
A few days since the crow was fol-
lowed into corner of the yard filled
with empty boxes, and in one of them,
hidden away from sight, was found a
perfect bric-a-brac shop, a number of
bright silver and copper coins, filigree
comb, several lustrous tortoise hair Or
naments, lot of bits of broken col
ored glass, and a stock of shining but
tons of endless variety, and the dia-
mond earring. The character of the
crow has been considerably lowered in
the estimation of the family since the
Observation-Disclosures Press.

Extraordinary Properties of Il Nut.
The wonderful stories that have been
told of the life giving properties of the
celebrated ''kola" nut of western and
southern Africa are even more than con-
firmed by eulogistic letter written by
the British consul at Bahia. The west
African carriers at that port continually
use the kola, which they carry about
carefully wrapped in pieces of banana
peel. These human beasts of burden
are not, physically speaking, superior to
the Brazilian negro, yet this African,
with the additional nerve force impaired
by the kola nut, can endure from 10 to
100 hours of fatigue, the half of which
would kill the laborer foolhardy enough
to attempt it without using the invig-
Grating little nut.
Where it takes eight Brazilian negroes
to carry load with difficulty, four
African porters carry it cheerfully
along, singing "as if each muscular ex-
ertion was exhilarating joy" Where
kola eaters are employed in unloading
vessels they are always given twice the
pay received by their competitors who
do not use the nut. There are thousands
of this latter class, the majority of
whom refuse to eat it because of a be-
lief that the devil originated the nut for
the special use of those he desired to
have as laborers in his vineyard.-St.
Louis Republic.

EVOLUTION OF THE RACE HORSE.
The Development of the Thoroughbred
Il Entirely the Work of Man.

The Development of the Thoroughbred
Is Entirely the Work of Man.
In so far as a creature endowed with
life can owe its existence to human hands
the race horse may be said to be man
made. Horses were an important factor
in early nomadic life, ard were cherished
by their owners, and the progress OF
civilization, so far f-om breaking this
bond, has apparently strengthened it.
The animal is not now so essential to
human welfare and convenience; science
has furnished other means of transpor-
tation, and it is i'll a fair way to take all
the heavy loads from his back; but in
the degree that he ceases to be a mere
beast of burden he is transformed into a
source of entertainment and pleasure.
From a rough and hardy creature,
subsisting on such rations as chance and
convenience might provide and suffering
the hardships and hazards of toll and
adventure, he has gradually evolved
into a combination of nerves, intelli-
gence and trained muscle that has but
a family likeness to his early progeni-
tors.
1t differs from them in the same
measure that the American Beauty or
the La France rose differs from the little
five petaled pink flower that blooms by
the roadside. Like those floral triumphs
he is product of scientific culture. 1t
is not chance that has given him that
peculiar build, that slenderness and
lightness that to the expert means speed.
His masters have wanted these develop
ments, and they have studied sire and
dam and the pedigree of each until they
could name in advance the qualities of
the offspring. And having secured a
horse that has within him the POSSIBLE
ties of outdoing his ancestors they treat
him as precious belonging. as indeed
he is.
A groom is always in attendance. He
is brushed and combed until his coat is
like satin. He is fed and housed and
exercised with as much care for his
comfort as for a child's. Royalty itself
is not looked after with more solicitude.
The attention that ancient Greeks used
to give to their own bodily training is
given by modern men to the race horse,
and as result he is marvel of phys
ical perfection.
And after all this? Why, when he has
been tested and his PAGES tried he is put
upon the race track, where his beauty
and grace and swiftness please the sight
and thrill the pulses of the watching
thousands as no other spectacle devised
for public pleasure could ever do.-In-
dianapolis Journal.

st. Swithin's Day.

st. Swithin's Day comes on the 18th
of July; if it rains then, it will rain on
the forty days following. Swithin was
bishop of Winchester and died July 2,
S62, leaving directions that he should be
buried in the churchyard Of his cathe-
dral, so that the rain might fall on his
grave. Some years afterward the monks
desired to move the remains into the
cathedral and fixed ON July 10 for the
translation, but for forty days it rained
steadily, 50 that they could not open the
grave, and at the end of the fortieth day
they decided that the saint preferred to
stay out in the wet.-St. Louis Globe
