The fashion writer's OF the day are
more reckless than exact In their quota
tions OF periods. Everything short
wasted Is called Empire. Strictly
speaking, the fashions OF the Empire"

Republic In its later fancies u796- 1904. .
The short wasted gown was not In
vented by Josephine In the Empire. II
was merely adapted by her. Her adap-
tation was the sack dress. with the
waist close up under the arms, and the
bosom pushed UP to the chin. A criti-
cism of the time has It thus: A fashion
far from graceful. and woman
needs to be beautiful to look
well in such costume" Gowns were
indecently low for the street and at all
times. Artificial flowers were an inno-
walton, and were much used on gowns
and in the hair. Nine. de Stael wrote

more than ever popular. But. after all,
these things were hardly invented In

sketch. 1t was drawn from a toilet in
dark green velvet and changeable red
sicilienne silk. The edge of the skirt
is surrounded by two flounces, fastened
on at the same time, one turning up
wards and the other down. They are
sewn to keep this form. The skirt is
about three yards and a half wide. 1t
is composed of front breadth, two side
Dreadths on each side, and two back
breadths, the latter very much sloped at
the top. If necessary, the parts that
are cut out at the top. in order to make
this bias, can be used TO widen the skirt.
The front breadth is rounded on top and
has small dart on each side. The first
side widths are rather longer than
usual, in order that the skirt may after
ward be made quite equal in length.
The side breadths are a little longer,
and the back ones are cut the whole
length of the train. In joining the diff
ferent breadths, which are lined with
muslin through all the parts which touch
the ground, only the silk is taken; the
muslin is sewn separately, and is after
ward attached underneath these seams.
OF course the seams must be ironed
first. The front breadth has one
dart, the side ones have two,
and the back breadths are gathered
in at the waist. The inside Of the skirt
Is trimmed with two or three nounces Of
scalloped silk; at the top the basques OF
pleated lace are sewn on, the ends OF

Oh for Fuel.

The use of petroleum as fuel for
locomotives seems to be spreading
in places where coal is dear One OF
the locomotives of the rack railway
up Pixies Peak uses oil, and it has
been extensively employed for many
years past on the Grazi-T saritsin
Railway, in Southern Russia. 1t has
a slight use in England on the Great
Western and Lancashire and York
shire Railways, and has an extensive
application in the Argentine Repub.
lie, where the native petroleum is
much cheaper than coal. In Western
South America oil is being rapidly
adopted. The Oroya Railway of Peru
uses a residum oil having a fire-test
of about 300 degrees Fahrenheit. On
the locomotives of this line, the but
tom, back and part Of the sides of the
flre-box are lined with brick. The
oil comes through 1t-inch pipe to
the bottom of the front part OF the
flre-box, and is then sprayed into the
space within by steam supplied
through half-inch pipe. The bricks
do not serve in any way to break up
the oil, but merely act as a white
hot retort, in which the air and va
porized oil are mixed In the proper
proportions. The supply Of steam,
oil, and air can be regulated at will.
In firing up preparatory to a run,
steam from another locomotive is
used, although wood can be used in
case of necessity. The burner is
very simple, consisting of single
casing, and differs greatly from
the complicated apparatus usu.
ally employed. The objection to pc
troleum firing has generally been that
it Injuries the boilers more than coal;
one locomotive, however, on this
railway, after run Of six months,
showed no signs Of leakage in the fire.

toration 1Sl5). Short WASTED gowns
now took on dignity; valuable jewels,
wide, bright-colored sashes, delicate
fans, and embro dered reticules were
much worn. Plaid dresses came in, and
you see now what has suggested our
sudden Jump OF late into plaids, though
as yet we have not adapted them to the
short WASTED gowns. Large chip hats
had the edges cut into squares, green
was much in vogue, and so were cloaks
with double collars. Silver was woven
into stuffs, feather trimming and fur
trimming were the rage. sleeves were
pulled and trimmed with rows of ruch-
ing. You see the Restoration Is well
represented in our fashions at present,
and many of its charact eristics have been
classed as Empire. ,twhile many more
have not been classed at all, which only
goes to show that one lovely woman has
epitomized several per DDS in herself,
and just because Josephine is repre-
scented in short wasted gowns, all
short-waisted gowns forevermore are
Empire. But IL you do not want 10 go
into Just her kind of short WASTED
gowns you will find lots of other kinds
in the periods covered ny the term En-
pire-the shortswalsted dresses, for in

trimmed with wreaths of flowers or rib
bon about the head. You may wear
bodlces. short-waisted, but not under

The next picture he drew was a

chicken on the doorpost meant that
the owner kept fowls, and that the

Helping the Culprit.

It often happened that the negro
head servant on the farm was a
sterner censor of public morals than
his master. Such an Uncle Tom
once told his master that a keg OF
lard had been stolen, and named the
thief and hiding place.
Don't say word aboutit," said the
master.
Next day he rode into the field
where the culprit was ploughlng, got
down from his horse and walked along
beside the man.
whats the matter, William" he
asked, after time. "You can't look
me i'm the face as usual"
Then William began to cry and con.
fess the theft. 1l
"Come tonight, said the master,
@and / will arrange so that you can
put the lard back. Nobody shall
know that you took it."
So, somewhat to the disapproval of
the jealous head servant, the culprit
was shielded from punishment

1t Is a common observation among
nurses that babies "get crosseyed just

owner does not mind turning him
loose at a tramp. A picture like this
tells me that dog is kept, but that
he is disposed to be friendly"
The old fellow drew. another dog,
differing but slightly from the former
in general appearance, but its tail had
an upward curl, while the other curl
ed ominously downward.
"Yes, it's all in the TAIL" said the
veteran tramp. "Good' dogs carries
their tails in the air, bad ones hangs
'em down low. Every tramp in the
world knows the difference, and
steers clear of the house with the bad
dog"
He was asked what were the most
encouraging signs in the tramp's sign
dictionary.
"Sit-downs and widders," he re-
piled, decisively. "This is a sit
down." and he drew a chair and a
table, with some things upon it, that
he said to the experienced eye Of the
tramp meant lots Of good cheer.
