Very small Port Hole. In a Wasp.


 In any moderately large insect, say A wasp or a hornet, we can see. even with the naked eye, series of small, sPot-Hke marfs along each side of the body. These spots, eighteen or twenty generally, are the apertures through which air Is admit ted to the system, but formed in such 6 way that no extrsneous matter can, by any possibility, find entrance. Some times a pair of horny lips close them, opened and shut at the will of the insect; again they are thickly fringed with stiff {, iuterlacing hristles forming a filter, through which air and air only can psss. But the arrangement, whatever 1t be, is in- xsriably so perfect in its action that 1t has been found impossible to inject the body of dead inseet with even So penetrating 6 medium as spirits of wine, though th, subject was immersed In the fluid and then placed under the receiver of sn ali ! pump.

A Repair Shop for Pearls.

A fact not generally known Is that pearls lose their lustrs in time. So the pearls your great grandmother owned and which are handed down to you are very likely to look quite dull and ugly. The matter is that the pearl surface is really worn down and the jewels lustre is fading in conse- quence. Just one thing will restore them.
 They must be Harmed out in pearl oys- ter and left In the salt water for year or SO. Of course 1t Is quite difficult thing to find pearl oyster that has. ss it were, any rooms to let and that Is willing to take your pearls to board. And even If you do find the oyster, what guarantee have

 An aecount is given in the Vienna Presss of what Is described ss the formation of certain corps, not familiar in Russia. and unknown even in military circles out of Russia. They are called the Corps de Chasseurs, formsd of a particular class of Russian soldiers, numbering sixty-f to each infantry regiment. They are picked men, chosen for various reasons, and include not only the men of best education, but also the best runners, sharpshooters, fencsrs, swimmers. climb ere, sappers, fishermen and huntsmen. They are under a strict discipline of their own, but they are not obliged to march in line, srs free from barrHck service. and are excused sentinel duty, so that they may be called at sny moment to the extraordinary service for which they are trained. As pioneers they build bridges across the brosdest and fastest rivers of Russia; as hunters and fisher men they provide the army with game and fish. During long marches they are hunters of the wolf, the bear and the tiger. In the military districts of Wilma, Warsaw snd kieff-that is, along the front fer of Austria and Germany, the number of CbssseuTs Is 6,656. The Corps de Chssseurs of ihs regiments in Minsk and Mohilef are considered the best in the army.

How to Lace n Corset.

Those clever Frenchwomen have dis covered a new way of facing their cor sets, or rather they have adopted it from the Russians.
 Of course it is horrid to lace tight, but if you will do it this new way is One only way that won't hurt because it calls for three pieces of lacings and there isn't the old torturing uniform pressure above and below the waist.
 You put the first lacing at the top down in the usual way on each side un- til you reach two eyelet holes above the waist. Do the same thing with the sec ond, facing from the bottom, leaving the two eyelet holes free below the waist In these four eyelets-four on each side you now put the third lace, that which is to be drawn.
 Don't you see, you can leave the upper and lower parts as loose as you choose, tying each to your comfort? After that you can draw in your waist with the middle facing quite independently.
 A woman facing her corset this way once will never lace it differently. No matter how loose she wears it, this is the only proper method.

EXTRA WAISTS.

For the plaid silks and silk crape the buyer pays more than she would for a dress pattern of imported suiting. How ever, shirt waists are the rage. One of our illustrations has a frill of foulard around the bottom of the shirt waist, but it need not be put on if the skirt is to be worn over it. A very pretty skirt can be made of the same material as the blouse and garnished with insertions of lace. Any pretty wash silk or even cam bric can be used for the other model, which is plain in the back. save for few plait> at the waist. The front has full jabot, which must be allowed for when each side is cut. It is held in place by draw strings, which will give the blouse a better appearance after being laun- dered. The sleeves are quite full, and a belt 2 inches in width is worn.

HOW TO CURE WRITER'S cRAMP.
Remedies Recommended For Contrnction
 of the Finger Musclss.

Remedies Recommended For ContrAction
 of the Finger Muscles.
 Writers cramp consists of 6 spasmod- lc contraction of the muscles of the thumb and fingers, rendering them stih and useless and causing in some cases 6 considerable amount of pain. It comes on gradually, rarely affecting those in robust health, but usually attacking nervous and excitable persons. As soon as the person affected stops writing the cramp ceases, but returns as soon as he again attempts 1t. People suffering from this trouble try to effect cure by nov. ing the wrist and forearm in writing when it extends to these muscles. The left hand Is often brought into use, but after short time becomes similarly af. fected. Strenuous efforts are often made when the cramp sets in to overcome fl by muscular effort. and sometimes the person is able to write for 8 few mo ments, but the result is 6 miserable specimen of penmanship and is often illegible. In short time, however. even the power to hold the pen becomes i'm. possible.
 The disease is unknown in childhood seldom coming on before the twenty. fifth year, affecting men more frequent ly than women. Writing with pencils or the stylographic pen is not liable to produce writers cramp as in the sharr pointed steel pen, the reason being that there is less resistance. Tobacco and al cohol in excess are said to be capsstivC agents. There is also certain heredi tary tendency to cramp. Injuries to the fingers and arm sometimes act as pre- disposing causes.
 Asregards prevention, soft stub pen smooth paper. desk of convenient height. with ample room to allow tho arm full swing. loose sleeves. using the muscles of the arm to form the letters changing the manner of holding the pen using the typewriter, etc. all form i'm portant factors in preventing the disease especially in those who experience suct premonitOry symptoms as slight weak ness of the muscles, slight pain apd sud den cOntractions and spasins of the fin gers. The best and quickest results may be obtained by the use of electricity massage and gymnastics. Absolute rest tonic treatment and change of climate are advisable. When all methods fail the only alternative is to change one'i occupation, that the muscles may have no cause for spasnodic contraction.

 Dr. Meyer received number of visitors before leaving Many people thought they could identify him. His most interesting visitor was Daniel Gillette, head of the de pertinent of investigation of the New York Mutual Life Insurance company.
 MT. Gillette came to Detroit to identify Meyer. He recognized him at once as the man who year ago last June introduced himself as William Renter and said he had come from the widow of Gustav Jo- seph Baum to assist her in securing the in surance on the latter's life.

STAR CARERS DISAGREE.
Professional Astronomers Mix Up the Au-
 rOra Borealis and the Comet.


 WASHINGTON, July 1.-The comet which Is now the object of so much search and speculation suddenly developed an enor- nous tail Saturday night, which to the impractical eye was taken to be n display of the aurora borealis. Professor Frisbie of the naval observatory was studVing the comet through the nine inch gl",s. He noticed a long stre K of grycniSh white light shoot out from the comet and extend itself almost to the zenith. At first the nucleus of the comet being at that moment hidden by fleecy cloud, it was thought the aurora borealis had sent out an ad- vance notice of brilliant engagement but as there was no fiickering, and as the light came steadily from where the comet had last been seen. the professor concluded that he was seeing comet in process of development.
 The tail of the comet was 30 degrees in length, distance about GO times as long as the moon is wide, and extended from 10 degrees above the horizon almost to the zenith. It was plainly visible to the naked eye.
 GENEVA. N. Y. July l7. - Professor Brooks reported the observations of fine display of aurora. the most magnificent feature of which was beam of light of great brilliancy. reaching from the west ern horizon up past the zenith toward the eastern sky. It resemblrd in form and brightness a great comet. for which it was mistaken by many persons. The real com- ct, he said, was considerably to the north of this and k becoming fainter.
