TWAS A GOOD STORY.
That Is. When 1t Was Applied to Some
Other Fellow.


Other Fellow.
Inc Texas congressman usually has
a shrewd perception of humor, re-
marks the Washington Post. The del
egation has corner on half the good
stories going, and can lay claim to sew
eraI which have got away. A corre-
spondent backed the dean of the dele
cation up in a corner the other day
and told the following tale:
"A friend of mine," said the CORE
spondent, ''came up from Texas when
the session opened, and as he expected
to be here some time he looked around
Tor a moderate-priced room, which he
located in a nice neighborheod. A
motherly old lady showed him the
room, which pleased him very much
As he was about to leave the room she
asked him where he was from.
From Texas, madam
"'Well, let me show you how this
gas works. You turn it on so, and put
match to it, SO; when you get through
turn it off, So
But understand all about gas.
We have it at home
Yes, but have had good deal of
trouble with Texans about gas, and it
doesn't do any harm to show you Turn
it on SO, and turn it off this way.
Don't try to blow it out
But, madam, protested my friend,
you needn't go to all that trouble. If it
will relieve your mind any, lived in
Chicago for six months before coming
here
You did, eh? Well, 1 want you to
understand that this is a respectable
house, and L won't have any poker
playing or drinking and carousing up
here"
''Haw, haw!" laughed the congress
man, THAT is one of the best stories L
ever heard" and his sides shook with
laughter.
But" said the CORES pendent, "the
boys are sending that story out tonight
and saying that you are the Texan"
''The deuce you say. Well, that is
pretty low-down sort of yarn to spin
on anybody" grumbled the congress

A Queer Chinese Superstition.

The Chinese have a remarkable SUI

is the local name on the border for the

drugs is borne along this river, for
which a special class of boats, com

with wooden nails, is built. The ma

Work and Leisure Should be Mated.

Work is good. No one seriously
doubts the truth. Adam may have
doubted it when he first took spade in
hand, and Eve when she secured her
first pots and kettles; but in the course
of few thousand years we have
learned to know and value this honest
troublesome, faithful, and extremely
exacting friend. But work is not the
only good thing in the world; it is not
a fetch to be adored; neither is it to
be judged, like sum in addition, by
its outward and immediate results.
The god of labor does not abide ex-
clusively in the rolling mill, the courts,
or the cornfield. He has twin-sister
whose name is leisure, and in her So
ciety he fingers now and then to the
lasting gain of BOTH [Scribner.

slid his arm around Miss Lillicombe's

Prince Pepin flew away with an ear

couldn't fly; she was captive.
"Don't start, Laura" said Mr..
Pluckitt. "Do you think you could

she. "And Theodore over fifty +!

that total stranger has had a hearty
meal, can't pay for the same, and the
proprietor is willing to accept his
promise to settle his bill some future

would be looked upon as dead-beat
and either kicked out or turned over
to the police. Here he is treated as
gentleman and put on his honor. A
reporter went in, ate fifty cents worth
of well-cooked food, took his check to
the cashier and said:
"I'm dead broke to-day"
"What name, please?" he asked.
"John Smith

glad to see you. Good day."
He recorded name, date and amount,
and the reporter departed. Three
days later he called to pay. He did
not look at all surprised as he hunted
out the slip and change. Indeed, it
was just what he expected, for ten
years experience had taught him that
ninety-fve per cent of "dead-
brokes return and square up. If all
the vagabonds of New York could get
credit at an eating house, business
would go to the wall in fortnight,
but that class are not admitted. There
is a man at the door who "spots !"
them and warns them off when they
appear. A decent-looking man will
pass muster every time, however, and,
though now and then one fails to square
up, the loss is a mere trife. The pro-
prietor of the place said he had more
trouble with dishonest walters in his
employ than with the thousands who
feed at his place every year. He loses

dime lost by trusting an entire stranger.

THE WOMEN OF FINLAND.

Among the lower classes of Finland
women drive the market carts, sweep
the streets, mend the roads and row
the boats. They do not, however,
with few exceptions, serve behind
the counter; men are preferred be-
cause they are thought more civil.
Among the better class of Firms the
women work as hard as they do in the
lower. In the banks there are far
more women than men clerks. The
same thing is noticeable in the bureaux
de change. In the postoffice and in
State offices women are in the majority
Women teach trades to the cripples
and to the blind, and industrial arts to
the little boys and girls who attend
schools established for that purpose.
They re also splendid linguists,
partly because they have but scant lit
erature of their own, and also because
their own language is no use to them
when they travel, so that they are bound
to learn another.
Many should not care about Finland
fashions, however. A black silk dress
is the orthodox garment for old and
young, and is worn alike at a coffee
party or wedding, no dainty orna-
ments being allowed. = New York

WHAT TO WEAR TO THE FAIR.


Do not take any unnecessary bag
gage. Take only what you need and
the wisdom of this advice will be daily
apparent. For ten-day or fort
nights stay no more than two dresses
are absolutely necessary. The travel
ing dress is the more important of the
two, for that will be worn every day
to the fair. There is no city where
serge is as entirely appropriate as
Chicago. The stiff breezes from Lake
Michigan every afternoon are as pene-
trating as the cold gusts from the At
lantic. A serge dress, therefore, with
an indefinite number of silk and cot
ton shirt waists and wrap, either q
jacket or cape, with preponderance
of favor for the jacket because it has
pockets, makes the best travelling rig
possible. An ordinary satchel will
carry one other dress, the extra shirt
waists and the other fixings. In Sep
tember there is more chance of being
too cool than too hot, and little
heavier clothing will be comfortable.
Just now it is hot, but not hot enough
for lawns and organdies. 1t is very
rare thing to see well-dressed woman
in Chicago down town in wash dress.
They keep those dresses strictly for
the house. Il Washington Star.

Alaskan glaciers.
The fabric woven is not unlike
a coarse-meshed grenadine, only heav-
ier, and has glistening surface more
brilliant than that of satin. It takes
on graceful lines in the draping like
fine and heavy velvet, and will not
crease or break in wearing. Only if,
on mischief bent, some one folds it in
crease sharply and presses it firmly
with the finger nails, the glass threads
snap and cut the warp in a rent that is
difficult of repairing.
Now, this material is not transpar-
ent, nor is it brittle; neither is it
moulded to the figure warm, though
the beauty of fit suggests the idea. 1t
is made up in carefully fitted lining
of silk, which, after its adjustment, is
ripped apart, spread out upon the
glass and its outline traced. The glass
is pasted along the traced lines with a
solution of glass before the cutting to
prevent frsying, and the cut edges
are bound and Tapped beneath gimp
of passementerie, also woven of glass
in an open pattern.
Twenty-Five dollars yard is the
modest value placed upon this pro-
duct, and score of yards are required
for a trailing gown, SO that there is
little danger of its losing caste by too
great popularity.
With the cloth of glass come won
derful fringes like woven milkweed
floss, passementeries, and braided
bands for girdles and headings. The
material itself may be plated with puffs
and fulled into ruf1es, which, with the
soft, fine fringes, are the most effect
i've decorations for the glass gowns.

would her parlor windows, and make
it as fresh and beautiful as ever. Miss
Cayvan's gown is made in the 1880
fashion, with the faring skirt fitted
closely about the hips, the cores out
lined with braided gimp of glass.
At the foot there is puff of glass,
over it fall of chiffon, covered with
the exquisite cleaning glass fringe.
The bodice is deeply vandyked from
the belt toward the shoulder, and be-
tween the points are puffs of chiffon
narrowing toward the belt and broad
ening toward the top, where fall OF
chiffon is covered with the glass firing
es which finish the low-cut neck. The
huge puffed sleeves of the period are all
of glass, draped in the approved fash
ion and finished with fringes.-[ New

FASHION NOTES.

Heliotrope and black are one of the
favorite combinations.
Masses of ofchrysanthemum and birds
wings trim some of the new hats.
Velvet remains one of the fashion
able materials, and is likely to contin-
ne so.
Tucked yokes, with big frills of the
material, are seen on dresses Of cam
brio lawn and null.
Lace hats are among the prettiest
and most becoming of the seasons
millinery productions.
A bow of accordion plated gauze
is the only trimming on the front of
large hat of lace braid.
Dresses of white serge, duck, mohair
and cashmere are trimmed with passe-
menterie and large crochet buttons.
New hats have fairly wide brims,
and are pinched up, rolled, twisted up,
and rolled up in every imaginable
shape.
A hat with the brim bent up in
sharp point over the front has the top
almost covered with heavy, handsome
ostrich tips.
The turban is increasing in popu-
larity. The favorite trimming is stand
ing loops of ribbon with long-stemmed
flowers at the front.
Little girls dresses have waists made
of straight widths of material shirred
into band about three inches wide,
with standing ruche above.
Narrow brimmed hats, somewhat on
the sailor order, but with brim narrow
at the back, are trimmed with solid
wreaths of roses, chrysanthemums and
other similar blossoms.
A new bonnet has an enormously
high poke front. The sides come down
well towards the ears, and there is
pronounced cape, which is evidently
the forerunner of the old-fashioned
gypsy bonnet.
A new waist trimming is made of
straight piece of material about four
teen inches long. This is gathered
in very full at the collar, and
droops of its own free will over
shoulders and bust.
A new dress for girl is in princess
shape, with full sleeves, shirred cuffs
and bands of trimming from shoulder
seams to the hem of the skirt in front.
This is a one-piece suit, and appropri-
ate for girl of six to nine years.
