The Navy Department Surprised at tho
Cheapness of tho New Tenders.

CneApnosS Oh THO new AeuuerSs
WASHINGTON CITY. Aug. 17.-[Special. l.
The navy department this morning re-
ceived two bids from Tacoma, Wash, for
the construction by contract of the new
dry dock at Port Orchard. The bids
were received as per the advertise
ment of the department issued on
August 8. 1t will be remembered that the
department found it necessary to readver-
tise for bids for this work owing to the
new eight-hour law. The old bids were
rejected because the contractors would not
have been able to comply with the provis-
ions made before the new law went into
effect.
The expiration of time by which pro-
posais are received is September 10. at 1
O'Clock p. IN. At that time all bids will be
opened and the lowest bidder, provided he
accompanies his bid with GER
titled check for $4,000. will re-
ceive the contract to do the
work. 1t is learned at the department to-
day that some of the bids already re-
ceived are very low. In some instances,
it is said, they are $4,000 less than an
ticipated by the de partment.

LESSON IN NEATNESs.

II is related of the daughters of
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe that wears
and years ago, when tie world was
half century younger than it is to-
day, those young women were invited
TO a big party in Hartford. They
went, all dressed up in snowy silk,
with dainty satin shoon. They hadn't
been there long when messenger
camo in haste TO summon them home.
The poor girls thought it matter of
life and death, of course, and bursting
into tears, became SO nervous that
they could hardly put on their wraps.
They were quickly driven home, and
upon reaching the house managed TO
gasp, "What has happened ?" The
mother, this Beecher of the Beechers.
stood at the head of the stairs, like an
avenging Nemesis. Pointing a lean.
lank finger in the direction of the
apartment occupied in common by the
young women, she said sternly: "Go
to your room and pick up your
clothes"
The poor girls lost the party, and
cried themselves TO sleep, but they
never forgot the lesson.-TNcw York

NATURES REMEDIES.


A noted authority OF Philadelphia
thus summarizes the uses OF fruits In
relieving diseased conditions of the
body. 1t should not lie understood
that edible fruits exert direct medj-
cal effects. They simply encourage
the natural processes by which the
several remedial processes which they
aid are brought about. "Under the

DAINTY GLOVES.

Gloves are made In the prcttiost and
daintest of light colors, pale blues,
greens, mauve and pink suede eabo-
rately trimmed with black kid. They
fill the shop windows and look exceed
ingiy attractive, but who wears them?
We never see the elegant women who
lead the fashion with blue and pink
hands. The women who return from
Paris have not brought any light COL
oFcd gloves in these shades, and the
charminglv dressed occupants of the
boxes at the opera wear only tan, ecru
or pearl tinted gloves, and tho same
ladies at The theatre or afternoon re-
cepiion cling to the same colors in
d rk or light shades. Don't buy those
pretty gloves in the shop windows.
