THERE is a heavy demand for red
dotted Swiss.
FRENCH gray and maize are fash
ionable combination. Nut brown
and green are used for summer gowns.
PETTICoATs of red surah and black
moire, trimmed with guipure, are
handsome as we'll as useful additions
to a woman's wardrobe.
WHAT can the craze for elaborate
ornamentation be adapted TO next:
1t is said that a handkerchief has
been seen with monogram worked
in diamonds
The fashion of white weddings has
been carried to its height in London,
but the blankness of unrelleved white
gives a wedding certain sober as
pect which weights the always solemn
ceremony far more than is deslr-
able.
A BRIDES prayer-book may be
bound In white moire or satin, or, II
preferred, silk suede kid. The clasps
and embroidery should be Of silver.
The brides initials are usually raised
on the cover, with the date Oh Tue
wedding.
WHITE lace is extensively used,
combined with flowers, for capotes
and hats, and white lace wells are
much worn in Paris, where hats are
moderate in size and fanciful about
the brims, waved and turned about
in various ways.
In Paris skirts are made round,
just clearing the ground. the stif
hem lining causing them to fall int
the round plaits Some firms are
trying to force skirts and petticoat:
with springs on the public, but thus
far without success.

THE fool who rocks the boat has
been at his deadly work again and
two men have lost their lives in con-
sequence. That the boat-rocker was
one of those drowned is small conso-
lation. His tribe never decreases,
He turns up at picnics, where he de-
lights in drowning women and chill
dren, and ne is to be seen any pleasant
afternoon on the ponds in the parks
terrifying his companions. He is the
first cousin of the 'dldn't know II
was loaded" idiot, and is a bosom
friend of the gIbbering jabberwoch
who pulls'chairs from beneath peo
pie 'for fun" Heroic measures only
will serve to curb this PERSONS hu
NOR, and a vigorous application of
boathook or an oar to his thick skull
/ at the first indication of playfulnes
is the only way to reduce the mortal
ity he causes every year

THE Pennsylvania papers are Drag
ging about a couple in that State who
celebrated their siXtieth wedding
anniversary in linen garments, the
material for which was grown on
their own farm and prepared for use
by their own hands. The culmlna-
tion of the boast is in the comparison
drawn with the young people OF TO-
day, who do not know how to spin
and weave. 1t is very creditable, OF
course, to the old couple; but it should
be said in behalf of the young people
of to-day that the time they would
spend in growing, spinning, and
weaving suit of linen would. If pru

a dozen linen suits, with silk one

THE glass dress has come to stay.
The charming actress, Georgia Cay
van. has even decided to make her
first appearance in new piece robed
in one of those singular but fascinat-

laundry woman cannot spoil it, and
when you are weary OF it you can
have it melted up and get new one

TRAIN robbing will not fall into

Inventor Edison Proved.
There is nothing like sleep to store
up nervous energy and put hesn on
the bones. says the Phlladelpnla
Press. In an article published some
years ago and generally ascrl0ed 10
oliver Wendell Holmes, 1t was
recommended that nervous women De
put to bed and compelled TO staY
there while they were fattened Win
nutritious foods, just as chicken Is
fattened for market. with tne dC-
ouirement of fat and the t1lilng up
of the reservoirs Of nervous strength
the tiggety, emotional, whimsical
woman will get up from her oeo an
other being. Thomas A. Edison, the
electrician, proved by his own case
how flesh can be acquired Dy sleep.
One week he slept fourteen hours
| day and the next week twenty-five
hours. The result was gain OF
seven pounds in weight. A woman
of only moderate physical strengtn
was asked how she managed to at
tend to the large business from Whlcn
she gained support, and the answer
was that she obtained it by sleeping
ten hours six days and spending the
whole of the seventh day IN Oed.
There has been a visible advance In
health of the American people dur
ing the past twenty or thirty years
Their stock of vitality has Increased
and they live longer. And while
there are other reasons for tnlS
change, the chief one is that people
sleep longer and rest more. Ihe
hours for work have gradually grown
fewer. Factory operatives are no
longer compelled to hurry to their
work at 5 o'clock i'll the morning and
work until O'Clock in the evening
Business and professional men go to
their cOunting-rOoms and offices an
hour or more later and leave as much
earlier in the afternoon. The result
is more time for sleep and better
health. But there is still more room
for Improvement in this way. Walter
Besant, the English novelist, said
few weeks ago at Harvard University,
when commenting on the graduating
class: "a fine, noble-looking lot OF
; Young men. They are unlike oul
{ English university students physlc
ally. / think our young men, as

RAIL RU M BllNGS.

CANADA has about $4,000 miles OF
railroads.
The Royal Hungarian railway COM
pany has decided to employ women at
all stations, giving preference to the
widows and orphans of men who have
died in their employ.
THE slowest railroad in the world Is
the Arizona & New Mexico. From
Benson to Nogales is eighty y-eight miles,
and the schedule time is eight hours.
The fare is IS. 80, or ten cents a mile.
THE last spike of the Great Northern
railroad, giving a complete line from
St. Paul to Seattle, was driven few

pany, after many disappointments, ex-
tending over number of years, has
succeeded in striking water in the Col
orado desert. The well yields 6, 900 gal

equal capacity can be drilled, not only
will the railway be greatly profited, but
the desert itself may be redeemed

JUDGE JACKSON'S NOMINATION.

Democrats Say lie IL Not Satisfactory to
Them as "a Party Man.
WASHINGTON, Feb. CIT is not consid-
cred probable by many senators that
Judge Jackson's nomination as justice OF
the Supreme Court will be rejected, not
withstanding that there has arisen con-
siderable opposition to him among the
Democratic members of the body. They
say Judge Jackson is not satisfactory to
them as party man, and Senator Harris
is quoted as having referred to him as no
more of a Democrat than "men on the
other side of the chamber"
One of the Presidents friends said yes
terday that the President had the prece-
dent Of the first Repu blican President for
his nomination OF Judge Jackson, as in
1853 President Lincoln nominated Stephen
j. Field, a Democrat, TO n place on the
bench, which Mr. Field still retains. He
said that the President, before making
the nomination, was assured that the
confirmation OF the nomination of Re
publican was extremely improbable, and
that being the case, he chose TO promote
Democrat who had demonstrated by his
decisions upon the bench that he was a
RS3'se'ioni'' RNS ana nationalist with big
There has been, he said, more'convictions
for violations OF the federal election laws
in Judge Jsckson's court than in any
other circuit in the country. As a matter
of politics, he continued, under the cir
cumstances of the case, Judge Jackson's
appointment was most excellent one.
If he is now rejected by the Senate,
he said, Mr.. Cleveland, OF necessity al
most, would be compelled to send his
name to the Senate again, thus preventing
the possibility OF the nomination OF a man
who might be possessed of the undesira-
BILE qualifications mentioned by j. 5.

Clarkson's letter was the subject of con-
siderable discussion among politicians

FRONT ELEVATION.

The material required for either small
house or large one may be so disposed as
TO produce pleasing effects and at the same
time give strength and pernanency TO the
structure without enhancing the cost or in
terfering with the uses for which il Is de-
signed. In changeable climate rich carv-
fngs and elaborate details which are ex-
posed to the action Of the weather soon be-
tray its effects, and in brief period Of
time the exterior will present a shabby ap-
Dearance Therefore simplicity of details
and outlines should be sought rather than
excessive ornamentation, no matter what
may by the materials
Here are the plans and front elevation OF
a cottage suitable for town or country and
designed TO be placed on a lot not less than
35 feet in width, although the same design
could be placed upon All ordinary city lot
25 feet wide by constructing the building
OF width so az to secure a passage feet
wide on one side. A cellar extends under
the entire building #. in. deep. In the
first story veranda extends across the
entire front, giving shade and protection
TO the building From the veranda you
enter good sized hall, in which are placed
the main stairs. From the hall into the par
lor you pass through an opening closed by
sliding doors. Directly back of the parlor
is large dining room separated from the
parlor by sliding doors in the usual way.
