Here are some of the sleeves chosen by
the fashionable woman to disguise the
contour of her arm. They are wonder
fully successful in accomplishing that
purpose, and if the arm is ugly they
have the merit Of concealing the fact.
The particularly plain and ungraceful
sleeve is the new gigot. 1t Is cut in one
piece and gathered down the front seam.

y Patriotic Daughter.

A young lady, the daughter of west
ern farmer, whose heart overflowed with
patriotism, quietly left her comfortable
home, CT off her beautiful hair, lonned
male attire, enlisted in IL company and
went directly to the seat of war.
During the home life she had been the
milllmaid. and her kind treatment of the
bovine tribe of the farm had made her Il
special favorite. But one of the tactical
tribe was her special favorite and whose
reciprocal love at meeting was ALWAYS
demonstrated. When mustered ont of
service. she returned TO her paternal
home. her habiliments being those of the
heroes of the war, and politely requested
permission as a stranger for entertain
ment over night, which was readily
granted by the kind host to returning
soldier.
On the following morning she arose.
and still regarded by the entire family
as perfect stranger she proceeded in
her soldier garb to her old milking quar-
tiers, and she had not entered the gate
way till she was at once recognized by
her pet COW, which proceeded to meet
her and greet her with all demonstra-
tons of loving animal TO dear friend.
Then the soldier returned to the house
hold, and instead of possessing the recog-
nizing powers of COW it was hard work
to persuade them that she was really

A Chinese mandarin has forwarded
the menu of a splendid banquet given
at Picking to the foreign diplomatists,
which follows: First came four classic
dishes-namely, swallow nests with
pigeon eggs, shark fins with crabs, dog
fish with wild ducks, duck and cauli-
flower Then succeed delicacies served in
cups placed before each guest, swallow
nests, shark fins, plain morels, vegeta-
bles, mushrooms with duck feet, fried
partridge, pigeon in slices. Then there
appeared four dishes-namely, ham in
honey, PURGE of peas, vegetables and
dogfsh; four side dishes, haricot cheese
with bamboo buds "a kind of asparagus,
roots of bamboo, chicken, shellfish.
four hors d'9uvres in duplicate, ham
and chicken, fish and gizzard, pork tripe
and yermicelli, duck and pork outlets.
Each guest had also placed before him
plates of almonds, pistachio paste, pears
and oranges. Finally the following were
the roast and boiled meats: Sucking
pig, roast duck, boiled chicken, boiled
pork. There was profusion of Eu-
ropean and Chinese wines. No opium
was smoked, for official China is not yet
reconciled to the drug which it owes to

Curling by I;Icctricitx.

The electric curling iron is very sim
pie. The wires conduct the electricity
into the little stand into which the tongs
are thrust. The latter are made the
proper temperature by heat, which is
generated by the resistance of the wires
to the current. The stands are about
two inches high and are usually nickel
plated, although some of those manu-
featured by firm III Berlin are plated
with gold and have handsome handles.
In travelling the iron and stands occupy
only very small space in a satchel At
tached to the stand is u silk cord, which
may be adjusted to an incandescent wire
after screwing off the little globe. New

Rare American Coins.

Coin collectors have long appreciated
the difficulty of making a complete col
lection of American specimens. The
United States coinage of 1903 is very rare
and dollar of the year 1904 has often
sold for as much as 500. a 1896 half
cent is so rare as to sell readily for $50,
and half dollar of the same year is
worth 60 times its original value. While
the half cent of 1904 is common enough,
all the other coins of that year are rare,
the dollar Of that particular date being
the rarest of all American coins. Only
eight are known to exist out of tho
1850 that were coined. The lowest
price that one of these now changer
hands for is $S00.-London News.

Has Its Good Points.

In some villages in Japan robbers arc
tried and convicted by ballot When
ever a robbery is committed the ruler of
the hamlet summons the entire male
population and requests them to write
on slip of paper the name of the per-
son they suspect as having committed
the crime. The one receiving the largest
number OF ballots is declared duly
elected and is accordingly h;aged. This
system, like all others, has its peculiar
advantages. 1t insures the punishment
of somebody for every robbery commit
ted. whereas under the system i'll vogue
i'll most civilized countries in nine cases
out of ten no punishment is inflicted on
anybody for the crime OF course they
may not elect the guilty person, but
dispose of some other character equally
as bad. There is much in the system to
commend it to other nations. Pomona

An Emperor,s Strange Fancy,

Strange fancies have taken hold of
some men regarding the manner in which
their bodies We're to be disposed of after
death and the ceremonies to be observed
at their funerals.
The great Emperor Charles V had the
curious idea of celebrating his own fu-
neral. Shortly before his death he caused
tomb to be made in the ckfpel of the
monastery of Estremadura, to which he
had retired after his abdication, and on
its completion he was carried to it as
though dead. Placed in coffin and ac-
companied by a procession, he was borne
along, while chants were sung, prayers
said and tears shed. After the solemn
farce was over he was left alone in the
chapel, where he remained short time
before rising out of the coffin.-London

Very few people are aware that the
pearl oyster is not in any way like the
oysters which we cat 1t is of an en-
tirely different species, and as a matter
of fact the shells of the so called pearl
oysters are of far more value to those
engaged i'll pearl fishing than the pearls
There are extensive pearl fisheries in the
gulf of California and some of the finest
pearls have been taken from those Wal
tiers. In 1881 one pcarl-a black one
was sold for $40 900, and every year since
that time many pearls have been taken
from the beds in the California gulf val
ued at over 81 800 each. But such finds
are very rare, and rs rule the pearls
which are brough- up are of very little
value. The shells, however. are very
valuable. Most of them are shipped TO
Europe, where they are manufactured
into ornaments, knife handles, buttons
and the hundreds of other articles for
which mother of pearl is cd.-Har-

The greatest abuse OF the b ping sys-
TEN i'll New York is in the fceSto JAM
tors and other servants connected with
apartment houses. 1t has become Il Gus
tom almost too strong to ignore in some
apartment houses topay the janitor, bell
boy, elevator boy, etc, certain amounts
every month or fortnight-tllis without
any regard to whether the servant has
rendered any particular service or not
The result of this indiscriminate tipping
Is quite natural-you get no particular
service.
Not IL few tenants of apartment houses
have had an experience with janitors
which makes blackmail preferable to the
risk of the repetition of these expert
ences. As in the case of walters, there
are good many annovances to which
tenants may be subjected which cannot
be cured with Il club and which do not
even form substantial basis of COM
plant. And they are not less aggrayat-
ing because you can't get away from
them or resent them. But to simply nav
man indiscriminately just because he
is there is plan which releases him from
any obligation whatsoever.
make it a rule and can recommend
it after some experience to pay with
reasonable hbernlity for any special
service-that is, any service above and
outside Of that which the man is EN-
ployed to render to every tenant in COM
mon. And l never tip such men on gem
eral principles-thati is, indiscriminately.
If an understanding to that effect is es-
tablished at once upon going into new
fiat, you will avoid all the ills to which
others are subjected and have at call
those who are not only ready and will
ing, but eager to serve you. Begin mt
once to compensate literally every per-
son about the place who renders you
special services and pay nobody else IL
cent. Follow this rule, and YOU will in
variably get excellent service and plenty
of attention. This rule will work equally
well with the waiter if YOU are regular
customer.-New York Herald.
