WHAT THE FROGS SAID.

One not day little boy and little
girl were out upon lake gathering
water lilies. As fast as they picked
them out of the water they would pull
the lilies apart, carelessly throwing the
white petals In the water and scatter
ing the broken pieces of stem. They
were SO absorbed in their work of de-
stroying the flowers that they did not
hear q conversation which was going
on upon the bank near them. But if
they had listened, this is what they
would have heard. It was a frog con-
versation; but frogs can talk very well
sometimes:
stOh, dearI" said the first frog.
How sorry / am to have our beautiful
summer house taken away! That large
lily which the little girl has just picked
was the one upon which I always swing
my little frogs to sleep on hot even
ings."
Yes, moaned the other frog SYM
pathetically, ''and that Lily which you
see the little boy pulling to pieces is
the one on which I always hop to eat
my dinner. It was SO high above the
water, and SO dry, that / could enjoy
eating nice weed there without fear
Of the water washing it away"
IF only those two children were
going to take the flowers home to
their mamma, said the first frog, sI
should not have cared 50 much. But
see! They have torn the beautiful
Lilies apart and are throwing them in
the water. Alas, for my poor cradlel
Alas, for my poor little frogs!"
ssAnd alas, for my dinner-table
Poor lovely ilyl There go its leaves
floating by. New York Ledger.

DELICIOUS STUFFED TOMATOES.

One of the most delicious filings
with which to stuff tomatoes may be
made from half cupful of chicken
cut very fine, mixed with dozen
chopped mushrooms and two heaping
tablespoonfuls of fine bread crumbs.
Season with an ounce of chopped par
sley and tablespoonful Of melted but
ter. The tomatoes used should be
ripe but firm. Scoop out the seeds
without breaking the tomato and fill
with the mixture. Bake half an hour
in an oven where there la a moderate
heat, basting occasionally with melted
butter. Veal may be used instead OF
chicken. For dozen tomatoes doub-
lie the quantity Of dressing.
Tomatoes for breakfast will be
found quite delicious if peeled and
sliced, scattered with powdered sugar
and ice, and served with slices of
lemon; the juice to be squeezed over
the tomatoes just before eating. II New

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN IN INDIA.

Tt is said that many of the women
of India are very beautiful, especially
in Cashmir, but that it is very hard to
get sight of them, and almost i'm
possible to obtain picture of one of
them. Either they or their husbands
appear to look with rooted distrust on
the photographer, and even when their
photographs are taken they rarely give
permission for copies to be sold. In a
typicaI Hindu beauty the skin is just
dark enough to give rich soft appear
ance to the complexion, the features
are regular, the eyes mild and black
and shaded by long silken lashes; the
hands and feet are small and elegantly
formed, the demeanor is modest, the
manners gentle, the voice low and
sweet. Such combination of good
points may not often be met with, but
when it is, who shall say what hav-
&c is wrought among the hearts of
the male beholders? There are good
looking women occasionally among the
middle class Hindus, as well as among
the upper ten, and even among the low
castles the faces arc sometimes very
pleasing. May Hindu woman, who
has. perhaps, little pretention to

POP CORN.
The little ones question me,
s.How does the corn,
So yellow and hard before,
Become so white and easy to bite?"
And tell in their loved fairy lore:
Within each gold kernel there dwells wee
fay.
So cozy his bed and so warm
But when it grows hot, which he wishes
'twould not,
Poor fay is half wild with alarm.
He beats at the walls-there's a crash, and
he's free!
(Thiscrash but pop is to us)
And the down from the bed where the tiny
fay's head
Reposed ere this terrible fuss,
Flies out in a mass, all puffy and white,
And changed by the fays magic spell,
1t becomes crisp and sweet, for small mortals
to eat
The pop corn they all like SO well.

The woman in black, if she SO de-

The woman in black, if she so de-
sires it, can relieve the sobriety OF
the ensemble by adding touches OF
gold or silver in the matter of trim
ming. A charming gown that ex-
emplifies this mode of trimming was q
black chiffon with giant sleeves OF
black silk brocaded in gold bowknots.
Jet does not seem to be as much
used for the trimming of black dresses
as it once was. This probably is ac-
counted for by the fact that it is very
heavy and weighs down the wearer
with weight of woe that even pride
does not assist in carrying.
Blondes have long known how be-
coming black evening gowna are to
their particular style of beauty, and
now even brunettes are forced to &C
knowledge that either in black or white
they look their best. A black net
costume made for young matron
had an underlining petticoat OF
lustrous block satin trimmed with
seven narrow founces of net.
The plain skirt falling over this fluffy
trimming gave very charming effect
with plain draperies, and in order to
emphasize this even more long,
slender gold buckle caught up the skirt
iu front. The bodice was a French
one, having berthe of deep net into
which were setnarrow bands of gold
run through the openings of the ma
terial.
Hardly any heavy silks are worn,
these being relegated to the old ladies
and suburban brides. A jaunty little
silk, of quality fine, but not heavy
enough to be warm, had nine-gored
skirt trimmed with narrow double
ruchings Of black and white net. The
jacket opened over loose blouse,
trimmed with black net set over
white, and a black belt with a jet
buckle made pretty finish to the
waist.
After all the extraordinary hues
that one meets with here and there, it
is a positive relief and pleasure to run
across these quiet gowns that rest the
eye as well as please the artistic
sense. - New York Mail and Express.

FASHION NOTES.


Hats of null with wide plaitings of
lace are much liked.
Butterfly rufles on tiny girls dress
es are among the charming trimmings.
Dresses of nainsook, with embroid
cred trimmings are very much liked
for girls.
The latest thing in dress, the
ssclown" sleeve, is simply mass of
overlapping frills.
A popular fabric for capes and ruff
fies is "Tulle Grecque, which is new
name for Russian net.
Although hats are worn by young
girls, bonnets are in the majority
where ceremony of attire is required.
A very pretty and serviceable fabric
and one that is quite new resembles
Oxford shirting and is shot SO that in
any color there is shade of white.
Useful and becoming outing suits
for small girls are make from fine
white duck. They are in princess
style with full sleeves and have cape
collars edged with heavy embroidery.
The idea of wearing certain gowns
Of the color of the favored college is
quite prevalent among young ladies,
and many toilets are made Of Harvard
red, Princeton yellow and black. or
Columbia's blue and yellow.
A pretty suit for boy is long
stockings, laced shoes, knee trousers
and sailor blouse of serge, the blouse
trimmed with three rows of narrow
mohair braid. A smooth-ftting vest
Of fancy linen or duck completes this
suit.
An easy way Of making lace trim
ming distinct from the dress, to slip
on as required, is simple yoke of
piece lace with six-inch edging fulled
around it, and lace collar to finish
the neck, or Spanish jacket of lace
with deep turn-doxn frill all around
the top.
The clown sleeve, which is much
newer than the bulging styla of the
early season, is composed entirely Of
ruffies from the elbow to the shoulder.
The puffed sleeve is diminishing mp
ward, and every fresh touch Of fashion
reveals q little more Of the tight un-
der-sleeve.
A dainty costume for little girl is
of spotted India silk or of challi. The
skirt is plain, with two or three rows
OF narrow braid or embroidery. The
waist is full, with narrow shoulder
ruffles, full-topped sleeves and fold
ed belt. The dress-yoke and cuffs
are Of embroidery.
Cambria dresses for small children
have tucked yokes with vide band
OF embroidery at the lower edge.
From this band falls full skirt Of the
material with deep hem and several
marrow tucks. All dresses for chill
dren have full sleeves and usually
cnffs from wrists to elbows.

In the house debate on the bank
ruptcy bill was resumed Mr.. benson
(Ala.) took the floor in opposition to the
measure. Mr.. Dalzell (Pa.) supported
the bill.
Mr.. Bryan closed the debate for the
day with speech in opposition to the
measure. This bill was not drawn in
the interest of the debtor class. It
comes from the wholesaler, who desires
a better method of collecting his debts.
Under the state laws, man who at
tackled the credit of debtor was liable
for damages, but this bill would place
every debtor at the mercy of the cred
itor, whether he was solvent or not.
The news from the senate of the prob
able passing of the repeal bill, and the
establishment or the gold standard in
this country, will necessitate some law
to relieve the debtor of his debt. But it
ought to protect voluntary bankrupts.
There will be enough voluntary bank
rupts when the Voorhees, bill goes into
operation. At the conclusion of Mr..
Bryan's speech the house adjourned.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-The attorney

says the government was not made a
party to the receivership proceedings.
and had no notice of such proceedings;
that there is grave doubt as to their
validity so far as the United States is
concerned, and in their practical opera
ton they tend to seriously prejudice the
interests of the government as protected
by existing laws. The attorney general
further says that the only action yet
taken by the department has been the
employment of Hon George A. Hoadley
as special counsel for the United States.
He expressed the opinion that the proper
protection of the interests of the United
States will call for special legislation.
