TIE "RAINY.DAY COSTUME. "

Attempts have been made to popular.
ize in America the "rainy-day costume"
worn by some of the most exclusive
leaders of fashion both in Paris and Lon
don. Unlike many of the costumes of
the "reform" type, this suit is as pretty
as it is useful, and is made variously of
Harris tweed, homespuu, Scotch cheviot,
and plain unpatterned. English serge.
The skirt is gored slightly on the front
and sides, and is full in the back. 1t is
unlined. and faced with waterproof to
the depth of eight inches underside. The
skirt is very short, that is, it clears the
ground by five inches all around. At
tached to this skirt is a fitted blouse
either of dark colored silk-red, brown
black, or blue-and over this is the trim
NEST and tautest of tailor jackets, Of
goods matching the skirt. One of these
suits brought from London by returned
tourist consists of skirt and jacket OF
dark russell. colored serge, with vest of
paler tan surah. The jacket is double
breasted, and this and the skirt are
machine stitched at all the edges. En-
suite is cap of tan cloth, also pair OF
neat, very long russet kid leggins, with
gloves CT the same shade. pretty addi.

r yelatiOns OF an Artesian Well.

The story of the earth may never be
fully told, aud most of its particulars,
though guessed at with much intrepid.
ity, will probably be held subject to cor
rection to the end of time. But now
and then, when the crust of the planet
is more deeply penetrated than usual, as
when an artesian we'll is bored. frag-
ment of the record is disclosed, aud all
the old and cherished chronologies are
irreparably damaged.
Such a we'll was sunk recently at GAL
weston, Texas, and from depth of 1910
feet specimens of wood came up which
q learned professor believes to be 2OO,.
100000 years old. With the wood
there were brought up seeds resembling
those of the apple and blackberry.
Apparently the remains of somebody's
fruit farm have been disturbed by the
borers, and considerable interval has
elapsed, according to the professors
estimate, since the owner made his last
shipment to the antediluvian market.

WOMEN AS BANK TREAsURERs.

Miss Sarah C. Clark has been Treasurer
of savings bank in Exeter, N. H., since
1883, and only the other day was selected
for the tenth year of her service in that
Office. She began working in the bank
as clerk, and her advancement was due
wholly to her industry and competency
to discharge the labors assigned her.
Miss Clark is under bonds to the amount
of $45, 600 for the faithful performance
of her duties, the same security being
exacted of her that man would be re-
ouired to furnish. Under her manage
ment the business of the bank has largely
increased, and her good judgment in the
placing OF loans has caused her to be
made member of the investment com.
psny. The assets of the bank are now
over $500, ,00e, while the deposits are in
creasing $50, 900 annually.
New Hampshire has three women
treasurers of savings banks. Miss j.
Grace Alexander has been Treasurer of
the Security Savings Bank, of Winches-
ter, since its organization in 1881. The
assets of the bank are $4,000 Miss

PANNIERS MAY RETURN.

Wouldn't wonder at all if we arrived
at panniers before the season is over.
Many skirts now have suggestion of
drapery about them and to others grace
full touch is impaired by puffs of lace
about the waist. Sometimes the lace
takes the shape of what used to be called
a postillion, and is added only at the
back and sides of the waist. Ap awfully
pretty way of making an old waist new
is to sew the lace underneath quite
straight and plain and turn it up on the
outside, or else apply it in girdle shape
in high point at the back. A few yards
oi nice lace laid in at the beginning OF
the season is positive economy, because
it can be put on one gown for an occa-
sion and taken right off and be ready for
the next one, and it always gives touch
of refinement to the most commonplace
toilet. Why, even bit of lace fulled
around the cuffs and falling over the
hand gives a touch of old world grace to
everybody and is the most becoming thing
in the world to anybody's hand. I,
brings out all the beauties of a pretty
pair and throws the dearest little veil il

called, is perfect blessing. Three

FASHION NOTES.

Moire antique is fashionable. Ombre
. effects in moire are introduced.
A loving cup with curved sides ano
plain surfaces has four handles.
A narrow lattice-work of ribbons is
new treatment for the inside of hats.
The newest shade in gloves for even
ing wear is tete de vean-s yeliowlsf
white tint.
Antique belts and girdles of silve'
have lost nothing in popularity, and bic
fair to keep all they have.
The most stylish princess dresses hav'
the half low cut round and are worn
with Russian guimpe of rich material
The bowknots of dead black enamel
rlmmed with gold with diam ond, in
the connecting loop, are favorlte designs
in mourning pins.
Vatican folds at the back OF gowns
are very much the mode. Frequently q
bow with very long ends is used instead
of the fold both on high necSed and
decollete gowns.
A favorite fashion of the hour for din
ner gown IS Vatican plalt OF lace
These plaits are attached to gowns OF an,
handsome material, and are a rich and
graceful addition.
At the present moment dress skirts
cling tighter than ever. In extreme
cases the entire dress looks like a cuirass,
the skirt and bodice made i'll one and
both equally tight.
Sash ribbons are shown in all the col
ors of summer silks and cottons. Som'
very serviceable aud pretty ones are Of
double.face satin. These come in al
delicate tints as we'll as in black anc
white.
The advent of the poke bonnet has
been discussed very thoroughly, aud it
now seems likely that for the ensuing
summer small bonuets aud large round
hats will maintain the hold upon fash
ionable favor.
Among the new silks and sstins art
those figured in polka dots of variou;
sizes. These made with full skirts and
baby waists with full frill of chiffon
about the low cut neck are. exceedingly
pretty for young girls.
The best modistes use silk lining both
for the bodice and skirts of gowns. Lin
ings of silk fit so much better and arc 80
mucl. lighter than the ordinary lining
that they are invariably preferred by
those who have once had them.
Among the recently imported gowns
are those with glove. fitting, seamless
round waists, with sheath skirts. They
are designed expressly for slender wo'
men. Length is given to the wais
when needed by adding sharply pointed
girdle of silk or velvet.
The new polka.dotted silks and satins
make charming gowns for young girls,
when these are made with rather full
skirts and baby waist, with deep frill o.
chiffon or point de Gene around tn
open neck, and black velvet girdle witt
velvet ribbon ends at one side.

LITTLE.KNowN WIDOWS.

Some of the richest widows in the
country the world knows the least of.
writes John A. Cockerill. And among
these are some who do the world great
deal of good, too. Every city has its
wealthy widows and if you look over the
glittering galaxy they will in most cases
be found to be women Of rare good sense,
managing their affairs with judgment
and bearing themselves in a very proper
way before the world. The fact that o
woman is a rich mans widow is always
something to her credit. Men who dc
not have good wives to help them in the
worlds strife rarely have the chance to
leave rich widows. How often do the
people of New York hear Of Mrs. Schen.
lev, of Pittsburgh Yet she is worth
$40, 900, 900, according to the estimates
of those who know where her property ls
and the value of it.
Mrs. Thomas A. Scott, of Philadel-
phia, is a modest woman, notwithstand-
ing her $5,OO0,000 or more. Our
neighboring city of Hartford has two or
three rich women, and one of them, Mrs.
Leonard Church, worth 81, ,000, ,0oo, is
not above taking her outing In turnout
worth at the outside figure about sos. l
used to hear occasionally, through some
clever business turn she had made, of
Sarah Gates, of Kansas City. She is q
widow and away from her home is
reputed to be worth $40, ,0O0,0oo all
realized from real estate investment OF
less than $1,000. have not heard lately
of Mrs. Gates, but unless she pinned her
faith and her bank notes with too much
tenacity upon Kansas City's future, 1
presume she is still accumulatng money.
The world hears nothing Of Mrs. Rachel
Gaff, of Cincinnati, nor Mrs. Oliver
Perrin, of the same place, and yet each
of those ladies is worth from 81, 200, 600
to So, 100000. Mrs. Joseph Harrison,
whose husband built the first railroad in
Russia, is worth 81, 100000, but her
name is rarely seen in newspapers. In
striking contrast with these women just
named, in the matter of avoiding the pub
lie gaze, is Americas own Mrs. Josephine
M. Aver, the patent-medicine widow,
who continues to dazzle Paris with her
diamonds, swell equipages and princely
entertainments. Mrs. Aver is our best
example of a lady who is away from
home, very rich, and doesn't care who
knows it. A reception which Mrs. Aver
gave last wiuter-it was but one of sew
cral-is said to have been marvel OF
expenditure, even for Paris. 1t is not
unlikely that her future efforts in this
direction may eclipse the greatest OF heI
past achievements.-New York Recor'

There is no better material for a roof
kn pine, cypress, or cedar shingles.
Ftal roofs are not nearly so durable as
Pse of shingles, and these, if painted,
Il be doubly durable. The only metal
kt is really desirable for roof is cop
i, which is practically imperlshable.
i the cost at present. is too great as
|npared with shingles. In laying a
ngle roof it is best to put the roofing
per under the boards, as there is then
danger of the gathering Of moisture
b consequent decay of the shingles.

way. The shingles are better pre-
we'd by dipping in crude petroleum

The Gorilla is Terrible, but a Coward.

The gorilla grows to be fully six feet
high aud nearly or quite thirty inches
across the shoulders. He can scarcely
be said to have neck at all; his arms
are extremely long and powerful and his
legs quite short. He Climbs trees with
as much agility as a squirrel, but in q
different way, and can swing from limb
to limb of the trees for miles, which
seems to be his chief mode of locomo-
ton. His body is very long compared
to his hight, and very full and round.
He is naturally afraid of man, aud will
always escape, if possible; but if com.
PEELED to fight must be d terrible foe.
His brutal countenance is revolving in
the extreme. Mr.. Du Chaillu assures me
that he has heard the voice of this beast
a distance of four miles. They live up
on plant food, and are especially fond
of bananas. They inhabit the deep
Jungle of the low coast region, where
few other mammal forms exist. They
are confined to small scope of Africa
on the west coast, near the equator, and
SO far as known only occupy an area of a
few hundred square miles in extent.
Their social instincts are very low, and
the males especially live solitary life a
great portion of their time. They do
not remain permanently in one locality,
but seem to ramble from place to place
in search of food. But little is actually
known of his natural habits on account
of his continual rowing, his retiring and
savage nature. York Independent.

A Promising Situation.
New York Daily Investlgator.)

Good judges say that one Of the next lo>
calities to achieve distinction by jumping
from substantial town to thriving me.
tropolis in few years will be the city Of
Superior, Wisconsin, and this, too, with.
cut the effort and struggle through which
inferior towns have passed while ef
fecting the same result. Until a yeal
or two ago the average man did not stop tc
think that Superior as a monopolist OF the
water and rail termini at one end Of the
lakes is in the same position as Buffalo at
the other end. Figures are uninterestine
unless given briefly, but comparisons
are always important. This little Su.
perior, credited by its last census with
only $4,000 people, handled more
it shipped nineteen million bushels, Of flour
sixteen hundred thousand barrels, Of wool
four million pounds, and Of merchandise
to the value Of thirteen million dollars
Of all lake cities this business was
second only to Chicago in magnitude.
There is an economical reason for this
condition OF things. 1t is that the rail
rate on freight sent west Of Lake Michi
gan is one cent per ton per mile, while
ton per mile. This position at the e1-
treme western end Of Lake Superior is
what gives the city OF Superior its prestige,
and is making it grow faster than
Chicago ever did. Besides one hundred and
one smaller industrial concerns, Superior has
located twenty-eight large manufacturing
enterprises in the past eighteen months in
cluding the American Steel Barge Com
pany, the builders of the famous
"whaleback" vessel, which is reyo-
lutiopizing the lake and ocean freight
carrying trade. The twenty-eight institu.
tions above mentioned include iron and steel
plants -four mills, stove foundries wagon
factories, pump makers ship builders and
saw and shingle mills. The most conser-
vative business men in the Northwest
believe that Superior will grow faster
in the next ten years than any
other city in that prosperous section OF the
country, and many OF them claim that
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis and Nil
waukee have never seen the rapid growth
that will come to the head OF the great chain
of lakes and the city Of Superior.
