A JOSEPHINE GOWN.

ter. The perfect man, some one has
said, is most perfect in motion, the per-
feet woman in repose, and what 20 con-
ducive to that ideal grace of restfulness
as the tea gown in its highest form of
expression?
And what more Important gown than
this in which one presides at breakfast,
that most trying meal of the day, when
it isn't easy for Il great beauty to be any
thing but plain and plain woman to
rise above being ugly, particularly if
one is obliged every morning to sit oppo-
site the one man on earth for whose good
opinion she has Il miserable craving?
Something bright and light and dainty
catches the masculine fancy every time
and helps make him forget how over
done is the steak. how undertlone the
mullins. and the empire mode lends itself
very prettily to the exigencies of this style
of gown. Challie, printed cashmere and
india silk are materials which produce
almost rs gratifying results rs the more
costly brocadcs and velvets. Fancy
pale blue challie with a flower pattern,
including many green leaves. In the
back the fullness falls from a shirred
vatican escaping from small revers of
green velvet. In front there is little
jacket effect with broad revers of green
velvet and "a full, straight gown girdled
under the bust with folded scarf of
velvet.
An odd little chatelaine bag of lace
and velvet contains the household keys,

Dull Boys and Mechanical Ability.

Great has always been the comfort
that the parents of boys dull at their
books have had in thinking that they
would probably be particularly bright i'll
some other direction. If there was any
doubt about it, the fact could always be
proved by stories of artists, writers and
musicians, who have been thought dull
ards at school. But mechanical genius
and dizziness at books DO not, it is said,
go hand in hand. The director of n large
western school of manual training says
of such cases: LAS rule, such a boy fails
to show marked ability of any sort A
boy who comes to us with a passion for
machinery, who cannot be kept away
from engines, the rattle of cogs and the
swapping of belts, never gets beyond a
sort Of morbid, simple curiosity to see
the wheels go round He develops no
curiosity nor the ability to do good, ac-
curate work. His book work is of very
similar character. New York Post.

There is no doubt that some of the
most brilliant planets. such as Venus and
Jupiter. are capable of casting distinct
shadows, as may be seen any fine even
ing in the tropics. Not long ago NJ. L.
Guiot observed that Jupiter threw dis
tinct shadow of his watch upon wall,
and that he was able to read a newspa-
per by the light. NJ. Moye also finds that
Mars is able to cast Il shadow, but much
fainter one than Jupiter. He was also
able to count the number of words in a
newspaper placed in the light of the
planet entering by a window, but he
could not read them.-Exchange

none is superior to alcohol. So great is
its reconstructive power that strictly
speaking it must be classed as food.
Whenever the powers of life are waning

ranks hrst among remedies to check it.
Lake opium, it is good if properly used
and baneful if abused. 1t is scarcely
necessary to say much for or against al
cohol. 1t is too well known to all of us
to need much comment, and l shall con-
fine myself to speaking of its use medic
inally by those who never tasted it be-
fore a physician prescribed it for some
disease.
Alcohol is unquestionably par excel
lence food adjunct in the severe forms
OF fever where nutriment is urgently re-
quired to keep up life, but where the di-
gestive organs have lost their assimila-
tive function.
Here, rs long as the actual waste is

fortunately such restricted dosage does
not satisfy the careless doctor of easy
conscience. He gives it by the oft re-
peated tablespoonfuls without stopping
to discover that the result wished for has
been attained in the slower. fuller pulse
and stronger heart.
Hundreds and hundreds of men and
women in all walks of society contracted
their tipping habit by regarding as I'M
restricted the advice of their physicians
that wine or stimulants of some kind are
necessary for them to take. The advice
in itself is justifable, but the lack of re-
striction is culpable. And so these poor,
deluded convalescents go on taking slim
ulants, which they find not only agreea-
BILE, but desirable, until they become
slaves to drink.-New York Herald.

success. No failures are evident then.
The pupils who tried and fell short in
the scholarship necessary to graduation
are of course too ashamed and disap-
pointeS to show their faces. So that
only successes are present. Everything
goes smoothly, and everybody looks well.
No matter how many plain girls have
lived in the senior classrooms for year,
somehow all look pretty i'll white dresses
under gaslight. There is q magic about
the two that transforms every one.
Do you know what is the very pref
test commencement costume that can
be devised for the sweet girl graduate?
a simple white dress. with black Ok
ford cap and gown. 1t is too bad that
only college girls are supposed to wear
them-and they do not always don them
at commencement-for probably there
are 10 times as many high school as college
graduates, and the caps and gowns are
so bewitching. They make the plainest
girl look striking, and the prettiest one
well, words will not express it. But
no one ever saw girl who didn't look
we'll in cap and gown.
Next to this costume the most appro-
pirate is the simple muslin or any fine
wash goods dress. AS rule, it is the
one who can least afford it who goes to
the expense of silk gown, and it is q
fact not known to every one that college
graduates dress more simply than those
in the lower schools. Silk is more ap-
propriate for brides or for society ladies.
Tho muslin or lace or silk tissues, all
feecy, airy fabrics, belong by right to
t., l.
blamed if she has it made as distracting-
ly becoming as she can. She wouldn't
be natural or human if she didn't want
to look her best.
After all, though. i'll any school that
which gives sweetness to the graduation
is not the dress. or the exercises, or the
congratulations of friends. 1t is the
thought of difficulties overcome to reach
such point and the realization of equip
ment to help meet what lies ahead. No
one knows how many years it will take
to graduate from that greatest of schools,
the university of life, but every one re-
allies at commencement that the more
ones faculties have been trained the bet
ter one is fitted to go on in the classes of
the great university where the lessons
will be harder than ever before and the
pleasures and prizes be fewer.
Besides her diploma and flowers and
congratulations every true hearted grad
nate has taken away many good things
from her school life. Learning? Oh,
yes, that need not be mentioned. Of
course she takes that. But she also
takes some things infinitely more pre-
cious than learning, good as that is.
For one thing she has acquired trained
habits of thought from the daily routine
of study. Her mind will act in coop
Grafton with her native common sense,
and even if she should not have to use
any special facts learned iii chemistry
she will make n better housekeeper be-
cause she has pursued that study.

1t is in June that the sweet girl grad

hest sights to look at in month full of

she seems part of the month of flowers,

Profits of French Noyelists.

Although 25e,000 copies of George
Ohnets "Maitres de Forges" were sold
in three months, lola has no doubt been
better paid for his work than Ohnet,
who had G. fortune before ever commenc-
ing novel writing. The author of LAS
so1nmoir7 has received 100000 from the
press alone for the privilege of printing
his stories; the publishers have paid him
1862 OO for 10 separate volumes. while
his theatrical fees for the last mentioned
novel aggregate $4,000. Yet as proof
of the never waning popularity Of the
old time tales it may be observed that
Alexandra Dumas fills receives $40, 1000 n
year IN the shape of royalties on his ia
theirs works, while Henri Murger, HUI
go, Eugene Sue and Balzac seem to have
more admirers than ever.

Don't Waste.

y penny saved is penny earned.
There is no need of wasting, as is usu
ally done, n good sized piece of gimp or
any trimming that ravels in the cutting.
Measure off the amount required for the
collar or sleeves, or whatever when near
enough to the seam to insure making no
mistake by allowing too much or too
little. Allow, then, just enough to turn
in the raw edge, put pin in, and on
each side Of the pin tightly twist II few
strands of strong thread or silk of the
same color as the trimming. Then faste;.
the ends of the thread. carefully with
draw the pin and cut the trimming.
Not only does thus winding prevent any
waste, but it also prevents the loose ends
working out from where they are turned
under.

An Apparent Paradox.

II had always been taught that cold
contracts and heat expands" said Har-
old Burwell, "but l have had an ex-
perience that is different. In my Office
l use incandescent lights, and on my
desk l have an upright bulb, with q
standard. The shade was broken on it,
and placed it on top of the desk in
corner between the wall and cabinet
of pigeonholes The other morning on
entering the Office hung my derby hat
Oh this bulb. Later on l went into an
adjoining room, which was dark, and
needing some light pushed the button
in the wall that set the electric lamps
afiame. The lights gave the place such
a cheerful aspect, it being a stormy day
outside, that did not turn them off At
noon when was going out to lunch,
reached for my hat, and it was baked
The incandescent lamp, which had
been aglow all the while, had made it
very hot, and the leather band was SO
drawn and contracted that I couldn't
get my hat on my head. 1t simply sat
on the top of my Uranium like those tiny
hats that variety comedians sometimes
wear. | held 1t on as best / could and
went out. The wind caught and carried
it long enough to give ii II thorough cool
ing. 1t was long before the band re-
Taxed and the hat was all right again, so
far as fitting my head was concerned
If that wasn't first class case of heat
contracting and cold expanding, I'd like
to know what contraction and expansion

and about the bottom the gown is cut at
intervals of four or five inches, the Sits
buttonholed with black, and in and ont
is threaded broad black ribbon tying
in bow on either side of the front. A
dainty and modest little tucker of fine
lace peeps up above the fchu and covers
the neck becomingly.

The tea gown has been brought rather

Two Recent Inventions.

The varied trend of mems minds is
well illustrated by the recent invention
of two policeman's billies, one of which
contains knife blades that shoot out from
the interior if the prisoner grasps the i'll
strument, while the other is fitted with
rubber cap to prevent the inhiction of
unnecessary pain. President Angel of
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals prefers the latter.-Boston

Skirt Stineners.

In Paris the new skirts are stiffened
around the bottom with steel This seems
to be the natural precursor of the crino-
line, but though skirts are very much
fuller and occasionally stiffened with
horsehair to make them stand out it is
very doubtful whether hoops will ever

Then she has required n power and
self reliance from doing so many diff
cult tasks. suppose every schoolgirl
has done more seemingly impossible than
possible things, and every time it has
strengthened her
She also takes some friendships that
may last through life. There are few
attachments more intense than those
formed during school days, some of
which continue and some of which do
not. If they do, they are worth having;
if they do not, they have at least served
their purpose and made the schoolgirl
more ready for friendships to come.
Last, the graduate carries away with
her some very pleasant memories. That
is one nice thing about the spirit who
attends to that wonderful storehouse of
memory-he always puts the disagreed
bic recollections on back shelves, so they
are rather hard to get at and places the
happy ones right within easy reach. By
his trickery the unpleasant memories
fade and grow dim with the passage of
time, while every single pleasant one
stands out clear and bright from the
background of the past. So the store
house becomes n treasure house, whose
contents one likes to think over with
tender happiness as the years go by.

recolloctions more cherished than those
