! saw woman this week that wore
such sensible shopping costume that
I couldn't help adrniring it. She seemed
to be sensible all around, and to pur-
chase what she wanted in quiet, bust
ncSs-lillc way, for even the gentleman
that accompanied her didn't look n trillc
bored, but seemed quite content to fol-
low her from counter to counter and
from shop to shop. She wore n plain,
dark brown skirt OF chcviot, Of now cut,
with but slight flare, and Il perfectly
plain tight-titting scalsllin bodice. The
bodice stopped exactly at the waist line,
fitting SO closely that she needed no
belt. 1t was simply turned in, with no
addition whatsoever. Then plated
collarctte, particularly short at the
shoulders, but coming straight down to
the waist. both back and front, in .
broad point, finished the costume. Her
hat was dark brown velvet, with velvet
loops and Il few graceful wings at one
side. There wasn't another woman
near her SO simply dressed. and not
another one, either, so admirably suited
to the busy surroundings as she.

How Dresses Disseminate EacillI.

Prof. L. G. Dixon, the English scion
fist, has been experimenting upon the
manner in which the germs of tubcrcu-
losis are spread abroad by ladies'
dresses. He had n dress dragged over
the ground two or three times, and on
glass slide was able to show no fewer
than seven tubcrclc bacilli. obtained, of
course. from the dust and dirt swept up
by the dress The practical lesson
taught by this fact seems to be that of
showing how, when trailing skirts are
brushed in our homes, the germs of dis
ease or thcirsporcs get dissipated in the
air. and thus placed in 4 position to in
feet those who are well. This is another
and powerful argument against trailing
skirts.

burton tells lis in Anatomy of Mel
ancholy," part 3, section s. that com
parsons arc odious,'' and when it comes
to comparing 4 man to Il flea il is not
to be denied that he told the truth. In
this case, however, it is the flea that
should sue for libel, for tic comparison
is one of strength and after it has been
made there will be none found to take
the side of the man" Years ago some
one incidentally remarked that man,
were his muscles and limbs as we'll set
for jumping and springing as those of Il
flea, could stand on the dome of the
capitol ut Washington and make one
swoop that would send him three and
half times around the earth. Late en-
tomological experiments have given us
opinions equally as curious concerning
the strength of this obnoxious little
Hercules. TO be brief and to the point:
II has been proven that flea can carry
Il weight s5S times greater than that Of
his own body. At this rate man of
the average weight of 1874 pounds could
shoulder "mogui" locomotive of 60
tons and run across the country from
New York to San Francisco in less than
an hour and a half.
