Revivals Tn Fancy Work.

There is decided return in the art embroidery shops to the canvas work, cross and overs.itch work of our grand mothers samplers. The revivals come, too, with all modern rnimprOvements. The garish red, green and blue wools com- bined without any other idea than to get a variety. after the manner of the begin ming of the century work, have vanished, and the pale tones of the art worker of today are in their place. Banners, sofa pillows, screen panels and the like are shown in the canvas and will be well comed by many women who have never attained the Kensington stitch and to whom the mysteries of brush and color are still a sealed book.

 Lady Duff Gordon had a most unique pet in the form of a large green snake Sc thoroughly had the creature been tanned and trained that it would wind itself round her ladyship's waist and rest its beautifullT | striped head upon her shoulder. The Countess of Warwick, better known as Lady Brooke, is as much admired on the hunting field as in ballroom. Tall and slight, the fair huntress looks almost her best in long tailed, double breasted coat showing a suspicion of white or color at the waist and on the lapels. The thoroughly English appearance oi Lady Henry Somerset gives little hint of her French ancestry. Yet her Creat-grand. mother Mime. d'Etang, was one of the maids of honor of Marie Antoinette and the Chevalier 'Etang was Q devoted ad hcrent of the unfortunate queen.

Noise From n Toad.

It is a matter of common observation that the loudest sounds are not always made by the largest animals. The roar of the lion exceeds ill sonorousness the cry of the elephant. Any one who had only heard without seeing bullfrog might well suppose that its fearful voice breaking the silence of the night must certainly come from the throat of an an imal of formidable dimensions,
 But perhaps the most remarkable case of vocal power in an animal is that re lated by recent traveller in the high lands of Borneo. He was informed by natives that they had heard tiger roar ing in the neighborhood. Such news is always startling to stranger in the jun gles of the east and hardly less so to the natives.
 An investigation was accordingly set on foot, which resulted in the discovery that the alarming roars had been emitted by a toadl This toad of Borneo, how ever, was by no means an ordinary mem Der of the family. It measured no less than 14A inches around the body.
 That the natives should not have rec ognized the true source of the sound shows that the existence of such toads was either unknown to them, or that. at any rate, they had never discovered the remarkable vocal capabilities of the azi mals--fouth's Compsnioc

NIinnie's Yearly Expenses.

Minnie can afford to marry poor man." said friend of Minnie's mother, speaking of the daughters evident liking for an impecunious young lawyer.
 That is just where you are mistak- en, answered Minnie's mamma. "She has $6,0O0 a year of her own, and she spends every penny of it upon her clothes. Her dresses last year cost about $4, ,0OO, her hats and bonnets about $500, her lingerie another $500, and besides there are her jackets, gloves and all the other acces- sories of the toilet. And she is no ex- ception in her world; most of her friends spend quite as much and many great deal more. No wonder that young men cannot afford to marry nowadays and only rich girls are in demand, though if men did but know it-it is more ex- pensive to marry an heiress than a girl who has been accustomed to manage with very little.

A Paradox ExpIained.

Why does not man weigh a pound more immediately after eating pound weight of food? A little reflection will readily explain this apparent mystery. During the process of mastication, de- glutition, etc.. certain muscles are brought into active play. and the exer- else of any muscle necessitates tempo rary waste of its tissues, and a certain amount of carbon is eliminated and passed of during the course of the meal This loss, however, is trifiing as com pared with that due to respiration and precipitation, both of which are increased during the various operations of making a meal.
 The length of time one may take to consume pound of food makes but lit tie difference to those losses. for if it is eaten leisurely there is but slight in crease of respiration or precipitation, whereas if it is hurried through both are abnormally accelerated. Hence by the time the pound is eaten the consumer has lost appreciably in moisture and car hcaic acid--lGiliion

The New and the Beautiful.

That is the most peculiar and as founding faculty of the mind that calls the new. the beautiful" said Charles Truax. Now, inst think minute Look at the change in fashions, and then you see it perfectly. The hat that you wore last season-the one with the stiff rim and soft crown-how nice and hobby it looked then! Now, when you tried it on again the other day. accidentally run ming across it in the locker, why, it looked hideous, didn't it? It's impossi- ble to define why this is so. You cant say it is because the mind dislikes old things Some minds donD nor that all minds love the new. tho change It isn't exactly because persons dislike to be odd or out of date. for some take great de light in looking strange and odd
 "Others do not wear the new things first simply to be the first While do not think this sense comes from or guides itself by any one of these influences, yet the sum of them all goes to make up a circle of harmony inside of which one would rather dwell than out There are a thousand little things that the mind comprehends almost unconsciously and acts accordingly It is this reflex action of brain work that makes it possible for one to understand why we do these things.

Quettish article of attire which a woman can wear. The woman of fashion who has an eye for artistic effect dons ri- diculous little bit of ruffied swiss or chiffon and ties it about her waist with a satin ribbon. It is the piece de resistance of her toilet. The men for whom she pours tea may whisper compliments about her eyes, her hair, her little hands, but they regard her apron with masculine awe and reverence. The lace ruffle is very full and the "bib" is formed entirely of points. The material used is fine lawn.
 The dotted swiss apron has become identified with the church fair, but it is nevertheless one of the prettiest kinds. The New York Herald tells that in the round and square designs, with wide lace ruffles or narrow edge, it is a becoming and useful article, either for afternoon tea or while embroidering, as it will protect the dress from the crumbs and threads which follow in the wake of these occupations. Novel sewing aprons are made from embroidered bedticking, with pockets for the scissors, thimble and the various implements of sewing. Another curious apron seen at a fair was made from fringed linen towel with 6 cOlOreu border. One end or the towel was cut off. and the remaining portion, apron length, was gathered to band The remaining piece of towel-border and fringe-was herring boned" across the front of the apron with thread of the same color as the towel border. Sewing pockets were formed by this odd orna- mentation.
 There is nothing prettier or more dain- ty for little girls than white aprons, and when worn over dark dresses the con- trast is pleasing. This season brings a revival of the fashion, especially for school wear-even for misses of 12 and 13 years. The Household illustrates and describes some quaint shapes for girls from to 10 years of age. One of these has fichu ties crossed in front and tied in the back, as shown by the sketch The

The Modern Shave.

"The nose pulling barber is hard to find now unless one goes into the cheap shops," said George D. Hamilton of Memphis. There was time not so many years ago when a barber would take you by the nose if he had to shave your upper lip and almost pull the pro tuberance up by the roots. A friend of mine told me he went into shop once, and the barber asked him if he would have thumb or a spoon shave, meaning thereby that if my friend was fastidious about having the barber jab his thumb in the corner of his mouth to extend his jaw he would use spoon for that pur- pose. But those days are gone. Even the talking barber is a missing link be- tween the new and the old tonsorial schools. All the disagreeable features of a shave have disappeared, and the opera tion is now smooth and pleasant. The only people who find anything disagree able in the process are those who shave themselves orwho get shave in a 5-cent shop. ."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

Well Guarded Relics.

There are certain articles in the National museum which no thief. however clever, could steal without raising wild cry of alarm and calling around him q CordOn of watchmen. The more valuable articles are skillfully connected with burglar alarms which cannot be touched without ringing a loud bell. The Grant collection is pro tected in this manner. Underneath the shelves on which the swords, shoulder straps, coins, medals and other trophies of the distinguished general are placed runs 0 network of wires. If any article Is moved or if the door of the case in which they are exhibited be opened, it will be known immediately in the office of the superinten- dent of the building, and the exact location of the invasion noted on an electric board. This protection is placed over all the ar tiCles which can have much attraction for the light fingered, or which could readily be disposed of for money if stolen
 At night the museum building is bur glar proof. If any rObber should set foot within its precincts, he would make the biggest mistake of his life. Not only do the guards patrul the halls so systematic ally that it would be next to impossible to escape their vigilance, but on every door and window there is n little contrivance so that if il be opened unlawfully an alarm will ring and call the attention of the officers tn the intrusion. The floors of the vast building are threaded with a net work of burglar wires, 90 that by night a3 well as by day the large and valuable col lectiCus arc as s,lfc as if stored in bank CTS vault.

Aoueer nusines. In China.

In China baldheaded man of almost any age can within the space of IS hours be transformed into blooming youth, as far as the hair is concerned; or a beardless youth of IS can be made to look like 50 within the same length of time by having planted upon his face a genuine gray beard four feet long; or an old maid without eyebrows can be trans formed into girl of sweet 16 by being fitted out with beautiful pair of brand new eyebrows or eyelashes of any color
 It is not a very costly operation in any case, although it is little painful, but then as it is only temporary, what mat ter does it make to have beauty restored to you if you do have to suffer little pain for only 24 hours or even 4S hours. Without it you may have to be poor and homely all your life.-Wong Chin Foo in St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

 Don't wear diamonds under any circum- stances.
 Don't smoke a pipe, cigar or cigarette on metropolitan thoroughfare.
 Don't carry your thumb outside of your glove. Gloves were made to wear.
 Don't be too free in introducing folk. English folk only introduce on rare occa- sions.
 Don't take woman's arm. Any man guilty of this deserves to be designated a gent
 Don't show the slightest surprise or em- barrassment if you would be considered fashionable
 Don't wear rings, no matter how valu- able, excepting on the small finger, and then only a seal ring.
 Don't stick an envelope. Always seal it witE red wax if not in mourning The seal should be your crest. If you do not possess one by inheritance, use your monogram.
 Don't leave your hat and stick in the hall when making an afternoon call. Carry them into the drawing room and hold them until you have shaken hands with the mis- treSs of the house.
 Don't hand your visiting card to the serv- ant nor leave it in the basket. There is usually table in the hall, where you can deposit it. Give your name to the servant who precedes you to the door of the draw ing room.

The Foundation of the nIonn.

There is plenty of authority for be- ieving that there is a man in the moon; in fact, there is authority for believing that there are women and other animals there. Dante declares that Cain was banished to the moon, and that he can be seen there at any time. Chaucer de- clares that the man in the moon was guilty of larceny, and that he carries a thornbush. Shakespeare loads him with thorns and gives him dog. Accord ing to the general version, he was ban ished there for gathering sticks on Sun- day, and the Germans have amplified this theory by giving him a woman who had been caught churning butter on Sunday.-New York Telegram.

 body of this apron is plain yoke, with the skirt gathered on in Mother Hubbard style. The fichu is confined to the yoke in the back. and half way from the shoul- der to the middle of the yoke in front, forming Q gathered cape.
