Autumn Gowns.

Modistes are making up many pretty
gowns for the autumn fashioned with
the skirt with very deeD Spanish
flounce, and the bodice portion shaped
in blouse style, with Spanish jacket to
be worn above. The blouse has full
sleeves. the velvet jacket merely deep
caps Another fashionable skirt is the
one with three fiounces. The founda-
ton skirt is very closely gored aud COW
cred with the fiounces. The two up
per ones are nearly equal in width; the
lower fiounce is wider and somewhat
deeper. and instead of being cut
in fat circular form and put
on without gathers, as they
have of late been adjusted on Empire
gowns, the founces are gathered and
put on full The top flounce is set in
to the waistband, and one founce laps
considerably over the other, wholly
concealing the undersh TT. All three
are bordered. silk ruches, bias bands,
velvet ribbon and braid being various
10 used as a trimming. These full
fiounced skirts are an admirable style
for tall, slim figures. but so sure as the
swift wheel of time brings back this
fashion it is the short, pudgy women
who elect for the flounced skirt as an
almost invaria BILE rule.-N. Y. Post.

OuTWlTTING a SHARK.
The Wonderful Presence OF Mind OF a Boy
ia Danger.

ia Dangef.
On board the good ship "Vinceunes,"
during cruise in the Pacific ocean, a
party of English and American officers
were one day in the cabin talking
cheerfully Of the cape and The cruise
when, as Il by magic, every counte-
nance changed. Spellbound for an in
slant, all sat intently listening. There
was a strange commotion in the ship.
Then came that noise OF hurrying feet,
unaccompanied by the voice of com
mand, which, breaking the silence of
well-discIplined man-of-war, and
echoing below. inspires a creeping fear
of unknown evil. There were. too, half
suppressed ordinations of alarm,
in which were caught the omi-
nously coupled words: shark
Boy" In moment all We're on
deck. CHANGING over the side rail-
we saw in rowboat moored to the end
of the side boom, few feet from the
side, one of the ships boys, bright.
cheerful little little fellow. standing
erect, holding boat-hoolS ready TO
strike. Gliding slowly toward him,
scarcely ripping the surface of the
wa ter, through which its broad back
could be plainly seen, was a great white
shark-a 'man-eater;" such as in for
mer days followed in the wakes of cap
tured slavers. prizes to her Majesty's
cruisers on the coast.
The crew of the Nincennes stood
aghast, powerless TO aid. Some called
to the boy to lie down in the boat;
others shouted to him to pull away.
But, wholly intent on the movements
of the fearful creature, he did not hear
them. We had not long to wait; the
shark came on. raising its head out of
the water, so that its sinister ewes
could be seen. Pressing heavily on the
vale of the boat, it bore down the side.
We expected to see the boat roll over
upon the shark, and held our breath.
Down came the iron-pointed boat-hook
with all the force a boyish arm could
give il. A blow. and then quick
thrust, and the light boat. buovaut as
a feather, slipped out from under the
sharks head and righted herself.
1t was a gallant sight TO see that
sailor boy standing undaunted before
what might indeed be called the Jaws
of death. Rapidly and well did he ply
his weapon. The shark, baffled, drew
back as if to take measure of the brave
little fellow, preparatory to a final rush
which should seal the boys fate In
that perilous instant, cool and collect
ed. seizing the painter with one hand
while he pointed the hoit-hook with
the other, to ward off the sharks at
tack. the boy quickly drew the boat
under the rope-ladder, and, springing
up, climbed to the boom, along which
he tripped lightly to the ship.-St.

Methods Of Hand Ing Cash.
II You want to know something bout
a mans character watch how lie
handles his money. The generous,
careless man carries his money loose
in his poclSet-copper, silver and gold
all mixed up together and when he is
going to pay for anything he takes out
handful and picks out the amount he
requires. lie seems to have no fear of
robbery, for he is of trustful DISPOSE
ton, and, being perfectly honest him
self. thinks most others must be like
him. OF course, he is often cheated
and imposed upon, yet he never en-
tirely loses his faith in his fell
low-creatures. A fine nature is
his-in fact, too fine to cope
with the many greedy, grasping NOR
tails that flood the world. The man
who, If he has to pay few pence,
won't even take the trouble of count
ing out the amount of coppers, but
throws down a piece of silver to be
changed-and by the by he rarely
counts the Change is a type of "a fool
and his money are soon parted" Per-
haps love of display almost insepara-
BILE from such a character. has some-
thing to do with this. A careful man
always carries purse and keeps the
gold, silver and copper in different
compartments. A man like this never
wastes his money. He values it as 1t
ought TO be valued, and, though not
niggardly, is determined to have his
moneys worth. He quite believes that
.'any fool can make money, but it
takes wise man to keep it, and he is
right.
The mean man never lets you see
what money he has. When he is going
to pay for anything he turns his back
to you, clutches his money tight ami.
so to say, draws it out of his hand,
placing the coins down one by one, for
he is loath to part with them, even for
uecessaries. Such a man is not far re-
moved from a miser, who rarely carries
money about his person at all, unless il
be sewn up in bis clothes. The man
who jingles money in ninety mine cases

bunch of keys and few coppers make
a good deal Of noise-St. Louis Post

TOO MUCH EDUCATION.
The supply of Scholars Greater Than the
Demand.

Ever since the enormous enlarge
ment numerically of the English uni
versities there can be little doubt that
the value of degree has gone down
commercially. The number of first
class men seeking work and finding
none is sorry comment on the devel-
opment of the English university sys-
tenn. II this is true Of the first class,
what must be the lot of the second, the
third and the pass man? The learned
professionals, in fact, are overcrowd-
ed. The cause of this unhappy
crowding of the market for brain
laborers is not far TO seek. An
immense number of persons who
in former times would have worked
with their hands as their fathers did
before them are being educated to
work with their heads. There is
general leveling up of the social grades
If you look at il alphabetically. The
son of the artisan becomes a clerk; the
son of the clerk aspires to teach in
school; the son of the school teacher
aspires to go TO Oxford or Cambridge.
But this leveling up is not an unmixed
blessing The result IS that we have
fifty times too many clerks-two hum
dred applied for an insignificant post
advertised the other day-ten times
too many half-educated teachers. and.
alas. ten times too many university
graduates turned out every year to
crowd the ranks of the bar, the
schools and journalism and recruit the
years crop of miserable and hopeless
failures
None of these people can dig as their
fathers did; they can not make shop
boys or 'busmen, or crossing sweepers.
Too many of them can only teach or
starve. 1t is really impossible to deny
that a certain degree of intellectual
education units man to work with
his hands and earn his bread as q
laborer. II may be that it ought not
to do SO. but in the present imperfect
state of the world so it is. Therefore.
somehow brother, places must be found
for this enormous harvest of tolerable
scholars as schoolmasters or something
analogous in the social scale. Every
year the problem is howto do it. That
problem, formerly, the university
solved by the fellowship system. The
number of scholars was small,
and they had fellowship apiece.
That solution is no longer possi-
BILE, even if il were desirable Then
the universities tried ignoring the prob
lem altogether. They, as it were, de-
MED liability. Their position was:
Our business is to provide facilities
for learning Cor those who wish to
learn, and opportunities To study for
those who care To study. We have no
duties beyond that When our men
have attained, by the help of our en-
dowments, to a degree, the connection
between us terminates They must
shift for themselves" Theoretically,
of course, this was undeniably logical
position, which they could very fairly
take up; but in practice they must be
held responsible, in some degree, at
least, for the men whom they have
raised out of their own position in life
by scholarships and exhibitions spe-
cially offered for necessitous persons. -

LIFE-SAvING AT SEA.
Apparatus Used by Stations and Crews
England and the United states.


England and the United States
Recently there died in the state Of
New York an old man who had well
won the gratitude of his fellows he
was Joseph Francis, the first person
who made a life-boat in America. He
was ninety-three years old; he was
born before the advent of the nine
teenth century, and it was not until he
had reached the age of ninety that he
received the honor of a gold medal
from congress. acknowledging and
concentrating his services in saving
the lives of his fellow-men.
This was the more remarkable from
the fact that Francis was but small
boy when he did his work as a life
boat maker. When he was eleven years
old he built small boat with cork in
the bow and stern; and this boat is
said, very likely with truth, TO have
been the first life-boat built in America.
Joseph Francis has been called the
inventor of the life-boat. but he had no
claim to the title. Before his birth life
boats, made after the design of Lionel
Lul<in. patented in England in 1875,
and fully described in a pamphlet of
about that date, had been launched in
England. These early lite-boats were
made on the principle still in use, of
extra buoyancy obtained by means of
water-tight air cases in the sides and
ends
The English inventor had the same
apathy to contend with in bringing
about the adoption of his boat that the
American Francis found Though a
considerable number of lfe-boats had
been built II England by the year
1908, public interest in them was not
aroused until le29. when the Royal
Life-boat Institution was formed and
boats were built
The use of the invention has devel-
oped, until now this famous institution
keeps nearly three hundred boats man
ned on the British coasts and every
years saves directly several hundred
lives from wrecks besides saving an
nually twenty or thirty ships whose
crews would become hopelessly ex-
hausted but for the opportunity of es-
cape afforded by the life-boat
Joseph Eyancis was celebrated more
for his CORR Tlted iron water-tight life
car than for his life-boa.s- With this
invention he achieved a great success
in 1850, when the british ship Ayrshire
went ashore on the coast of New Jersey
with two hundred people on board.
Francis life-car made forty trips to the
vessel, and with one exception brought
off all on board.
Comparatively few life-boats are used
by the life-saving stations in the United
States. On our shores, which for the
most part are low, good surf-boats are
more easily launched and handled, and
serve the purpose even better in many
cases than the more buoyant life boats
would do. Youths Companion

"I.ife and Death"

Even doctors must have recreation,
and perhaps a certain physician at a
summer resort, whose servant recently
made a somewhat queer response to a
caller, was humanity right in the orders
he had given her. Some one called at
the doctors cottage in the evening and
began a speech To the servant:
II want the doctor to come over right
Off"
lie can't do it," answered the serv-
ant. lie left orders that he was so
busy that unless it was absolutely a
matter of life and death. he couldn't go
out at all this evening
But" said the caller, lit isn't sick
ness at all"
"What?"
We want him to come over and take
a hand in a game of whist"
oh, that's different. You're Mr..
Brown, amt you?"
The servant disappeared and reap
peared moment later,
