that ties i'll small bow. The over
sleeve is made of wide lace, caught in
just above the elbow by a ribbon band,
tied. At the shoulder, other and mar
rover lace, falling each side of the
puff in graceful jabot, is caught in a
puff.

lace rufile on her spreading skirt, and
white lace puffs over her sleeves. Then
she wore lace collarette, stiffened be-

shoulders. Running down to meet
this was an old-fashioned white lace
veil, hanging loosely about her chin.
Another gray had big pulled sleeves
of gray gauffered satin, which is so

wonderful Insect lilumir,aticas.

The secretary of the Smithsonian in
stitution, Professor Langley, has been
experimenting with Cuban irefies with
a view to discovering the manner in
which the illumination they emit is
generated. He says that the light they
give is the cheapest" in the world
produced, that is to say, with the least
heat and the smallest expenditure OF
energy and he believes that success
full imitation of it would prove most
profitable substitute for gas or electrici-
ty. The insects are beetles two inches
long and belong to the family of ssnap-
ping bugs" so called because when one
of them is laid on its back it snaps itself
into the air with clicking sound. The
secret of the light this FREELY gives is as
yet undiscovered.
Apparently it is connected in some
way with the mysterious phenomena of
life, and chemists and physicists have
sought in vain to explain its origin. On
each side of the animals thorax is a
luminous membraneous spot, and these
fash at intervals, so that the Cubans put
dozen of the insects in a cage together
and obtain a continuous illumination
bright enough to read by. This light is
accompanied by no perceptible heat, and
is seemingly produced with no expendi-
ture of energy. How great an improve
ment it represents upon all known arti-
fetal lights can be imagined when it is
stated that in candle light, lamp light
or gas light the waste is more than SO
per cent.-American Analyst.

A Chronic Case.

Known, chiefly by correspondence, te
many persons is certain invalid who
spends her days in studying her cease
and writing about it. Her letters are
long, full of unpleasant details and SC
burdened with inquiries and requests
that they have to be answered at almost
equal length, and most of them are ad-
dressed to men and women to whom
time is precious.
Sometimes the invalid asserts that the
use of typewriter would relieve unfa.
vorable symptoms, and asks hundred
questions about the different machines.
Again, she finds it necessary to divert
her mind, and turns to literature, rely
ing on an author to tell her what and
how to write. Then she resolves to make
an experiment in treatment, and can
vases by letter for worthless subscrip.
ton book that she may gain the money
to do so.
But always her "case" is directly o,
indirectly the theme of the many closely
written pages. All things past, present
and to come are related to her various
Affections. In the words of Persian
proverb, ''The sun shines that the world
may see her wounds. Youths Com.

The Madonnas of RotticelIi.

As we examine the various madonnas
by Botticelli in the galleries of London,
Berlin, Paris and Florence we cannot
fail to be struck by the ardor of emotion
that seems to have animated the painter
in his search for the perfect type of
beauty realized in the "Crowning of the
Virgin" The construction of the head
of the Virgin is essentially the same in
all Botticelli's pictures, but the feshly
mask and the expression vary, and the
final charm of each one remains an un-
decipherable puzzle.
We feel that this madonna is an init
mate vision of the ideal woman who
Unparalleled" the painters soul; SO
Dante speaks of Beatrice, the object of
surprising desire. We marvel at the
mouth, at the eyes, at the eyelids, at the
sweep of the brows, at the thick golden
threaded hair, at the splendor of the
draped head over which angels hold a
crown, at the beautiful color of the
flesh, which suggests souvenir of the
vita Nuova."
She hath that paleness of the pearl that's fit
In fair woman; SO much and not more;
She is as high as natures skill can soar;
Beauty is tried by her comparison.

Charged Corsets.

Now that electricity is being more and
more widely used it is no longer safe for
q woman to carry her watch in the
place where it has always been most Sc
cure-in her corsets. A New York
woman few days ago was going to pay
q visit of curiosity to an electric light
plant. She was warned that her watch
might be charged with electricity, and
SO she did not take it with her.
The precaution was useless. The next
day the movements of the watch were
most eccentric. Now it was fast, now
slow, but never right. She asked her
husband, who was an electrician, what
could be the matter with it, and he soon
found that her corset steels had been
charged with electricity during her visit
to the plant, and that next day, when
she placed her watch in its usual resting
place, the charge had been communi-
Gated to its works.
OF course women have often worn cor
sets that have been "charged"-at the
shop. But here is o new idea.-New
York World.

On collecting Autographs.

The most elementary form of the
strangers letter is of course the applica-
ton for an autograph. This application
is now reduced to such a system that j.
causes little inconvenience and should
not be refused. There is usually sent
with the request a blank card on which
the name is to be written, with an en-
velope stamped and addressed for its re-
turn. Nothing can be more unobtrusive
or mechanical, though the line of pro-
priety is at once passed, we may sa.
where two cards are sent, the secona
one being obviously for exchange pur-
poses or perhaps for sale.
The wary author never, suspect,
writes ON both cards, since he does not
aim to help out mere business trans
action. Where any applicant goes far
Their and asks an original letter or copied
passage, the affair becomes more serious,
and some authors and public men ignore
such requests altogether, as being much
more serious consumers of time.-T. w.
Higginson in Harper's Bazaar.

about 400. Scinda is their queen, and
rules her flock with an iron rod. They
use no Bibles at their meetings, for each
member is supposed to know it by heart.
If Scinda asks them Biblical question
they are supposed to have an answer at
once. The have their meetings ever

A BEAUTIFUL SCENE.
HAPPY School Children I'm an Indianapo-
lis Schoolroom.

Happy School Children I'm an Indianapo-
Lis Schoolroom.
In indianapolis entered one of the
rooms containing the youngest children
at the time CT the opening exercises.
The scene l encountered was glimpse
Of fairyland. was in a room full of
bright and happy children, whose eyes
were directed toward the teacher, not
because they were forbidden to look in
any other direction, but because to
them the most attractive object in the
room was their teacher. She under
stood them, sympathized and loved
them, and did all in her power to in
terest them and make them happy.
The room itself was charming. The
window stills were filled with living
plants, and living plants were scattered
here and there throughout the room,
The teachers desk was literally strewn
with flowers, and upon each of the chill
dren's desks flowers had been placed to
welcome the little ones to school.
The book used during the reading les
son was the book of nature-the plant
they had just been studying. The scene
presented by the happy little children,
each with flower in his hand, surround
ing the teacher, who was smiling upon
them, was truly beautiful.
For reading matter the children We're
called upon for sentences expressing
thoughts concerning their flowers. The
sentences were written upon the board
by the teacher, and when number of
them had been written the pupils began
to read them. The children were inter
ested because they all took an active
part in the lesson from the beginning to
the end. They were all observing, all
thinking.
Some Of the little ones even committed
the crime Of laying their hands upon the
teacher, and she so far forgot herself as
to fondle them in return. Yet the dis
cipline was perfect What is perfect
discipline in the classroom but perfect
attention? There was no noise, there
were everywhere signs of life, and such
signs of life as become gathering of
young children.-Dr. j. M. Rice in Fo
rum.
