HAIR PILLOWS ARE BEST.
Those Made of Feathers Are Too Warm
The Proper Thickness.


The Proper Thickness.
The use of pillow is not matter of
mere blind usage. 1t has physiolog-
ical basis. We sleep for the most part
on the side, and without pillow the
head would be uncomfortably and harm
fully lower than the body 1t will be
remembered that Jacob when fleeing
from Esau, took a stone for a pillow.
He needed something for the purpose,
and nothing better than stone pre-
sented itself. Such practices are COM
mon in Africa at the present day.
Some people rest the neck instead OF
the head on hard pillows. In Africa
extraordinary headgears make this
practice necessary, and many civil

Tensions in Denmark.

The law of Denmark now gives to
every Danish subject, man or woman,
the right to pension at sixty years of
age, except in cases of convicted crimi-
nails, of those who have fraudulently
made over their property to relatives,
of those who have brought themselves
to distress by extravagance, or who
have during the preceding ten years re-
ceived relief from the parish, or who
have been convicted of mendicity. The
parish examines each case and reports
the amount of relief to be granted. 1t
may be withheld if the beneficiary be-
comes ineligible through misconduct or
improper expenditure of his pension, or
if he marries. The state contributes
half the expense of the parish in dis
tributing relief provided the expendi-
ture does not exceed S270, 900 each year
from '91 to '95 and $3.50, 900 in subse-
quent years. There is no appeal from
the decision of the parish authorities, -

A MALE SHOPPER
Not Familiar With the Mysteries of Dry.
Goods Store.


Goods Store
They were riding up in the elevator OF
one of our big dry-goods stores-the
man, his wife and a small boy who was
going to get off at the second floor in.
stead of the third.
zone would think, young fellow"
said the man, pompously, that you had
never been in an elevator before"
mo more was, pa" said the small
boy, and he was going to say some
thing more, but his mother seized his
hand and he stopped short.
The party got out at the third floor
and the man directed the movements OF
his wife and boy, and seemed to have
the whole universal plan at his finger
ends
When they had finished shopping all
stepped into the elevator to go down,
and the wife said she thought she would
sit, but the man told her to stand up
and not jogglc about so much. At the
second floor he seized the boy, and said;
Look where you're going, sir" and
got off. His wife went on to the ground
floor for which they had started, and
sat down in the store to await develop
ments.
The man came down the stairs pretty
soon and pretended to be showing the
store to the boy.
You made a mistake, Hiram" said
his wife, timidly, you oughtn't have
got off on that floor"
Don't worry about me-" snapped
the man. "Im old enough to take care
of myself" and he stallicd ahead with
determination to get there if he
walked straight down cellar
This way" said a clerk, as he
touched the man on the shoulder.
Take your hand off, young man;
know which way I'm going" and he
made another attempt.
"All right" said the clerk, "if you GO
through that plate-glass mirror it will
cost you more than if you leave by the
regular door"
Then the man saw his family were
waiting for him and he frowned at them

LlNGUAL ExASPERATIONS.
More or Less Clever Catches In Pronuncia-
ton and Spelling.

A young lady was once talking with
very young and very smart man,
who was inclined to air his knowledge
of the languages little beyond what
she felt that modesty required. She,
therefore said to him, with an air
of Difference to his superior attach
ments:
"You are Latin scholar / wish you
would tell me how to pronounce the
word Sometimes.
The youth, with an air of kindly pa.
tronagc, replied; 81 have not met the
word in my Latin reading, but should
have no hesitation in saying that it
should be pronounced sometimes
giving it in four syllables, the accent
on the second).
"Thank you for telling me" replied
the girl, demurely. 81 have always
heard it pronounced sometimes, but
If you say the other way that must be
right"
This is similar to the perhaps familiar
catch of the pronunciation of 'bac-
llac-he," which will often surprise the
uninitiated by proving to be only back
ache. 1t also reminds one of question
printed some years since as to the way
of spelling "need"-to need bread. The
avesGge person will reply, 'k-n-e-a-d,
of course" but the answer will be:
'"rhat is the way to spell knead dough,
but not to need bread"

Every Woman Must Now Originate Her

Every Woman Must Now Originate Her
own Success at Gowning.
There is tide in the affairs of milli-
merry when every woman must originate
her own successes, when distinction in
dress means discretion in selection, and
blind following of fashion plates results
in disaster. Verify, the tide is at its
flood in this day of renaissance, for the
mode has gone mad. Fashion is in a
wild frolic, and holds perpetual high
carnival in chaos of color a confusion
of fantasies, bazarre and splendid, when
only the artists touch saves legitimate
picturesqueness from absurd eccentrici-
ty and distinguishes between the rich
ness which means elegance and the
costliness which results in vulgarity.
Happy is the woman who can seek her
inspirations in a gallery of her own or
some one else's ancestresscs, for the
materials of the day faithfully repro
duce the old models even to
the laces and garniture. Such
a gown designed by famous belle
in the ancient time, and copied by
the wife of an artist uptown, is made
of Russian velour, dull bronze brown
on pale blue ground. The skirt, soft
and graceful in it's fall, has no decora-
ton except cord of plain bronze vel
vet on the edge and another at the top,
where it is slightly fulled instead of be-
ing gored or fitted with darts. The
lining is blue and pink changeable
taffeta. A little close short waist of
plain bronze velvet is embroidered in a
pattern with blue and gold, and laced
down the front with gold cord. A full
bronze frill, lined with blue, is gathered
about the edge, widening on the Shout
ders and falling over huge slashed
sleeve puffs of bronze, with blue
| glimpses in the slashes. The gathering
guimpe and long, close sleeves, wrinkled
from the hand to the puff by means of
a gathering up the inside of the arm,
are of soft liberty tissue, pale blue, and
unlined. There is delicate air of old
time gentility in the pretty toilet, some
how wanting in the illustrated modes
of the day, and most gracious and re.
filming in its charm.-N. Y. Sun.

EXPLOSIONS OF OIL LAMPS.

heep COOL.
Even the explosive quality of the
modern oil lamp is now a subject of
doubt, An English experimenter says
that he has tried in every way known
to him to make kerosene lamp explode
and has not succeeded in doing so. His
theory is that the various so-called ex-
plosions have merely been the igniting
of spilled oil caused by the upsetting or
breaking of lamps. He moreover goes
on to assert that the best quality of oil
is slow to ignite, and if smothered at
once with a piece of carpet or some
wooden garment the fame is easily put
out The chief thug necessary in such
a case, is presence of mind If the lamp
upsets it must be picked up at once and
set right, so it shall not have the time
to ignite the spilled oil. A metal lamp
which can not be broken is much less
liable to danger than glass or porce.

font If people remain cool-headed,
neither open door TO create draught
as they usually do, nor rush out of the

from a metal lamp. But it require;
presence of mind and GOODNESS of judg
