The Benefit or Work.

Though we all welcome n season of rest, yet if we were never To have any thing in the way of regular duties to perform what purpOseless. worrying existence ours would become. The cricket disporting itself gayly through the summer hours thinks that no life can be as pleasant or as sweet as its happy go lucky imprOvident hours of idleness spent under blue skies and in the full glare of the glorious sunlight, yet when winter comes and the lack of thought for the morrow has proved dis astrous, then it wishes that there had been less play and more serious employ ment that would have brought about more worthy results.
 Outside of the worldly benefit that ac- crues from conscientious work, there are other advantages that few realize unless they have experienced them for them selves. The blues speed away before its helpful influence, time never drays, the edge of sorrow is made less keen, and q healthier mind and body stand forth as examples of the benefit to be derived from having something to do beyond idle gossiping. dcsultory fancy work or a round of dressing and dancing that may seem blissful in contemplation. but is in reality not one-half as satisfying as the discharge of rcSular duties that make one feel that one has accomplished something worth talking about.-Phila- delphia Times.

Leather possesses such excellent Quali- ties for the many purposes to which it Is put that it would seem idle to seek substitute. Nevertheless there are many persons who. while they find that leather serves as an effectual protective covering for the foot, find also that it is often obstinate in adapting itself to the requirements of individual feet or to the more or less physical abnormalities to which so many are subject In such cases, if comfort is to be expected, only the most supple and yielding quality should be worn. At the same time, of course, it should be waterproof and durable. These qualities, so far as we have been able to judge, belong in a sat isfactory degree to an interesting and new material called "fexus flora" It appears to be a flax derived material, suitably prepared and oiled. so that to all appearance it is leather. It is par ticularly supple and flexible and takes polish equally well with the best kinds of calf
 We have recently had occasion to wear a boot of which the ''vamp" or cut front section consists entirely of fiexus flora and have purposely submitted it to some what undue strain, in spite of which no cracking of the material was perceived. while the sense of comfort 10 the foot was very evident. Flexus flora. being a material of vegetable origin. Is calculated also to facilitate free ventilation and thereby to obyiate the discomfort arising from what is called drawing the feet.

bination of steel and jet. The New York importations consist largely of round hats of medium size and extremely small bonnets. The shapes of the hats are varied. There are sailor hats in beaver and satin, cooked hats, the napoleon hats and hats with cleft fronted brims. Many of the new shapes show the hair in front.
 Quite new are the lustrous felts with low crown and medium brim, also what are called flats" in felt, velvet or satin. Later on the mercury trimmings in vogue during the autumn will be superseded by what the French term valkyrie ef- fects These effects are brought about with wings, which, however, are made into a more flaring garniture than is the mercury. The winter bonnets are close and very small. These come in felt, vel vet, satin and lace. The so called gold bonnets are decidedly effective with their crowns of bullion embroidery.
 Jetted net is much employed ill nilli- nery. Cut steel and jet together are very effective. Velvet roses are a fash ionable garniture. Silver embroidery is effective on evening and dress bonnets of light colored velvet. Spangled trim mings are again decidedly fashionable. a novelty this season being large flowers made of spangles.
 In the first illustration is shown a stylish hat in olive felt. It is trimmed with black ribbon and two large black quills In marked contrast with its sim pie style is the bridesmaids hat shown in the second cut. The latter is made in black lace, with crown of plaited blue ribbon and passementerie. This hat is trimmed with black velvet ends. osprey and roses. Velvet roses, by the bye, are

Stree, Paving In America.

William Fortune contributes to The Century paper on street paving in America that shows more than any thing else what we have yet to do in that direction before we can stand abreast of other civilized countries. We have made more advancement even in high art than we have in street and road making.
 MT. Fortune estimates that if all the paving in our towns and cities that is how projected be finished according to expectation the cost in the next 10 years will not be less than $l,000, 900, 900. Even when that vast sum is spent ''it is doubtful if more than GO per cent of the streets of these cities would then be well paved" He believes that the owners of property abutting the street to be i'm proved should bear the cost of the pave ment, because the rise in value of their property will be hardly ever less and often many times more than the cost of the paving.
 Americans make the common and fatal mistake of supposing good pave ment is luxurious expense rather than q profitable investment, which it is be yond all doubt. The first requisite for the good pavement is solid foundation. X London engineer said, ''The founda- tion is the pavement" To make the foundation, first the street is dug down 10 inches or foot and then rolled as hard and solid as can be done with q t,,oal,iYa J-pA,, this hard smooth surface is spread from six to eight inches of hydraulic concrete cement. 1 This is the best foundation a street can have, and ii is made by mixing together one part of hydraulic cement and two parts clean sand. free from clay. Small pieces of broken stone. no pebbles, only bits of sharp cornered crushed stone, i none of them more than an inch and Il half across ill any direction, are mixed l thoroughly ill the sand and cement | water being poured on while the stone ! is stirred in.
 When thoroughly well made and 1 spread upon the soil, this concrete has 1 the qualities of q continuous layer of i heavy stone. capable of bearing tremen- dous weights" Upon the concrete is spread a layer of sand, then on top of all
 the final surface paving. whether of gran
 ite, wood asphalt. some lGnd of compost
 ton maStics or hard baked and pressed
 brick. This last has been found tu an
 swer the purposr very well. The cost of
 the hydraulic concrete foundation varies
 from 90 cents to Sl per square yard.

New Ideas In the Historic Ribbon.

Such dainty fantasies are to be seen in the way of garters that they assuredly deserve n place in chronicles of fashion Many women are, We believe, strong minded enough to resist these pretty tritie>. and discarding the historic IT. band sustain their hose with patent slls- penders. For the benefit of those. how ever. who are faithful to the old tradi- tiuns. We describe some of the newest ideas in the way of Sarters. A pretty pair has the elastic coIrCealed by puck cred rose colorrd silk and is trimmed with Il tiounce of cream lace. The fas- tening consists of paste hook and eye. and at the side is a rosette of silk and bows of ribbon. Another variety coy cred with pale green satin has frills of mauVe silk muslin all round. culminat- ing in green satin bow at the side. More costly garters are clasped with diamond buckles. though it must be confessed that in many eases the dia- nonds are Parisian. Others fasten with a tiny bouquet of artificial flowers orange blossoms for brides and clover leaves for luck.

 In many cases the most nutritious fare Is both simple and cheaper than the vi ands that are fooliShly bought hy people who need economy in expenditure. be cause of habits of rlvh which is very often unwholesome-hv living.
 For example, most people think a ten derloin steak must be much more nour- ishing article than plain steak. because it costs more The same principle actu- ates many buyers in purchasing high priced butter, fine flour-with much of the nutriment bolted out of it-and deli cate fish and vegetables.
 Professor Atwater classifies the bene- fits we get from food under two heads protein. which nourishes the tissues, and caluric. whence are derived heat and energy. A round steak costing l5 cents a pound contains as much of both as tenderloin costing 30 cents and is just as digestible. Oysters and eggs are very low in protein. and butter and sugar have none. vet how many peO- pie think these things necessary to their nourishment! They are richer in the tho reverse order, in the fatty elements which make heat and energy, but Pro lessor Atwater's figures show that there are foods preferable to all of them for both the principal benefits needed.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10,-A morning paper prints the following today: Boarders at 496 State street, Brooklyn, where Dr. Olney and Gussie White used to live say the doc tor had been very popular there. He was jolly. and his friends liked to hear him sing. Miss White always played his ac- compartments. She came to the house last January, and he followed fortnight later They gave no sign of having known one another before, but became warm friends right away. Miss White the boarders didn't like She is big, determined looking woman, with short, dark hair and keen eyes, and had, they say, n violent temper She was very reticent about herself.
 Once, when some one passed remark about the intimacy between Miss White and Dr. Olney. she said ''I compliment my self that have more influence over him than any one living, In fact l might hrag of it if chose.
 Miss White wa> known to have strong hypnotic power. though she had never made any manifestation of il there. She was deeply devoted tu spirit ualism and went with Olney to seanceS

 She seemed to have plenty of money, and She and the doctor indulged literally in wines and liquors.

The Ford theatre disaster has been re called to the public by the opening of the trial of the four men indicted for criminal negligence in connection herewith; by senate resolution for the appointment of Il joint congressional committee to ascertain the responsibility of the government for damages to the families of the victims, and by beginning of repairs upon the wrecked building. \ rumor that the men who oc- cupicd the building at the time of the dis ilStrr are to be again put in there to work as snon the repairs are completed has raised n general protest. not only from the 5o0 clerks and their friends. but from the public at large. It would certainly seem to be an unnecessary cruelty to compel those clerks to work in that building again, Joseph Chamberlain naturally recalls at tcntion to his .'vindication" of the Eng fish house of lords. anent their rejection of the home rule measure. in a letter which he wrote in reply to correspondent who recalled his attention to the language he had used about the peers in the unreSener- ate days before he had found grace with them. or before their grnceS had found Joe" That language 1t will be remem- hcred.

 He assaulted the lineman on the plat form, and they had a thrilling nght, Tucker tried to throw the lineman off, but the latter finally got in blow with his nippers on Fuckers head, knocking him senseless. Tucker was then let down with a rope and taken to the police station.
