Wby He Held On.

Workmen we're hoisting stone next
door to Frankie's house, where a new
building was going up, the motive
power being small engine, says the
Boston Globe. The signal of hoistine
was. given by the sound of a. whistle,
and the man to whom fell the duty Of
blowing this stood out of sight of the
engine attendant.
One day frankie and small friend
were standing as close to the rope as
they were allowed to come when the
whistler was called away for moment
The man who made the stone fast went
for drink of water, and the two boys
crept up to the tackle.
Unluckily the other boy spied the
whistle lying on timber, and just as
frankie had seized the rope his friend
gave shrill blast.
The engine inside the sned began to
puff, and, with a squeal, up went
frankie into the air. The workmeD
came running, shouting to the attend
ant to reverse the machine, and to the
boy not to let go. The lad was up to
the second story before he could be
stopped, but here carpenter managed
to seize him and draw him unhurt into
O window.
"You did we'll to hold on, little fel.
iow," he said, as he got the boy into
safety.
''Oh, had to-" frankie answered;
"mother told me not to fall into the
mud with my new clothes.

HANDMADE UNDERWEAR.

For thousands of years refined femi-
ninity has delighted in needlework.
And even in our day, when the in
genuity of man has invented the won
derful machines that work with such
absolute accuracy and exquisite detail,
needlework, pure and simple, has
never been held in higher estimation
or taken as a greater indication of re-
fnement and dainty living. Hand
made underwear is, therefore, in as
great demand as ever, in spite of the
perfection of machinery; and there
are quantities of rich and ultra-fastid-
ious women who never allow machine
work of any kind upon their body
linen. All the fine stitching, elaborate
embroidery, and even the lace itself,
must be made by hand. When it is
considered that great number of wo-
men are necessarily helped to make o
livelihood by such pretty extravaganza,
it is seen to be fad that cannot be
too highly commended; but while
milady indulges her luxurious in
stincts, her kind heart should teach
her to be womanly as well as dainty,
and she should order these ''cunningly
wrought garments: from the sewing
women themselves.

A Quaint Charity.

Among the quaint charities of Eng
land is one at South Hampstead not far
from London, where large white
house, in garden, with stately rooms,
is set apart for class of sufferers for
whom hitherto there had been no pro
vision made. 1t is well known that
hospitals are SO full that those under
brief sentence of death must make
room for less hopeless cases. Sym
pathy for these has made of this beau-
tiful building o Friedenheim, or "Home
OF Peace for the Dying" In some re.
spects it is one of the most beautiful
charities that has been known, for
there are few people for whom a quiet
and restful home for the last days or
weeks of life are more grateful than
the poor, who with no comforts in their
own homes and necessarily shut out
from hospitals, look forward to little
of peace or quiet during the briei
term OF life lett to them by sickness OF
accident 1t has not long been II
operation, but already it has attracted
the gifts of many.-New York Indie

WHAT u Simeon Is.

Perhaps the Asiatic type of cyclone,
known as the simeon, is the most re-
markable phenomenon of the EARTH"
began Colonel Samuel Knoop, who is
at the Laclede. '1n my travels about
the world I have never as yet observed
any such appalling scene as that Of
simeon sweeping its course in the dis
tance. Cyclones in this Western hemi-
spere are usually accompanied by great
masses of clouds and drenching rain
storms. The simeon of Asia is quite
different. I have stood on the Arabian
desert where my eye could sweep the
distant horizon in every direction with
out encountering one object to vary
the monotony of the scene. Ove1 this
vast sea of glowing sand it seemed as
though not go much as o breath of air
was straying. In such Gnn oplnes-
sive moments the natives perceive the
first premonition Of the awful simeon.
Such knowledge was OF little avail, how
ever, for on that wide imitless stretch
of inland sea, like the great bosom OF
the ocean, one place was as safe ms an
other.
"The great sand storm would come
and sweep its way without any definite
path and with no prospect Of any sud
den variation from its course. Here
we have a storm heralded py fierce
winds, clouds, lightning and, thunder.
On the great desert Of Arabia the ST.
moon is heralded by nothing more
than small, dark speck in the distant
Sky AS this approaches the atmos-
phere becomes sitting and oppressive
to an unbearable degree. The speck
in question does not develop into sky
mantle OF clouds, but it's destructive
force 1s none the less diminished. II
sweeps path equal to its width and
carries with it numberless pillars Of
sand that are constantly rising and fall
ing like forest of swaylng topless
trees. I never was i'll one, but I have
stood en- the desert when one was pass
ing in the distance and it reminded me
of the shadow of q cloud passing over
a sunlit PLAIN" ."-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

The Oldest Merchant Vessel.

Among the many ancient coasters
that regularly visit the port OF Bangor
is small craft which has the honor OF
being the oldest merchant vessel in
actual service in the United States.
There are vessels which are said to be
older, but they are not in service mol
registered in the record of the Bureau
of Navigation. This is the schooner
Good Intent, Captain Watson Ward
well, of Rockland. The Good Intent
is twenty-three tons register, and was
launched at Braintree, Mass, in 1913,
making her eighty years old. She has
been repaired and rebuilt, with hun
dreds of spars and acres Of canvas, till,
like the Iishmsn's jack-knife, she if
the same original, and her skipper
claims that there are still in the hull
two or three white oak planks that were
in her when she was launched.-Lewis'

Exploits of a Fakir.

In a short time the fakir had suffi-
GENTLY recovered from his trance to
stand up. end when the sheik pointed
to the brazier, he thrust his hand
into it, seized some of the live Goals,
blew them until they emitted sparks,
bit off pieces of them, as one would
bite an apple, and eagerly ate them up.
He then went to large prickly cactus,
which WAS standing on the platform,
plucked a leaf armed with strong
spines, bit of piece, and swallowed
it. With equal avidity he crunched
and consumed thin sheets of glass.
Fragments of the cactus and the glass
were handed to the spectators, who cx-
amined them and convinced them
selves that they we're really the sub
stances they were represented to be.
An attendant brought in a shovel, the
iron part of which was red hot, so that
bit of paper thrown upon 1t flashed
at once into flame. The fakir took the
wooden handle OF the shovel with the
right hand, placed his left Oh the glow
ing iron plate, which he also licked
with apparent relish, and then stood
upon it with his bare feet until it be
came black. This last exploit
filed the air with faint odor of
burned horn. A sword, so sharp that
it cut piece of paper in two when
drawn across the edge, was handed to
the fakir, who thrust it with all his
force against his throat, his breast and
his sides. The sword was then held in
q horizontal position about three feet
from the ground with the edge up
ward, by the servant who took hold
of the point, which was wrapped in
several folds of cloth for the protec-
tion of his hand, and by another
'Aissaui, who held it by the hilt. The
fakir placed his hands on the shoulders
of the two men and, leapirg up bare.
foot on the edge of the sword, stood
there for some seconds. He then
stripped and, resting his naked alb
domen on the edge of the sword,
balanced himself in the air without
touching the floor with his feet, the
sheik meanwhile pressing down upon
the fakirs back with the whole weight
of his body. - Popular Science

GIRLS IN SLEEPING CARS.

The wise girl knows that nothing ls
quite so desirable for wear in the sleep
ing car as wrapper Of dark colored
flannel. 1t may be stated as positive
fact that women who try to make them
selves look coquettish in a sleeping
car, and wear elaborate negliges or lace
trimmed wrappers, chow extremely bad
taste, writes Ruth Ashmore in season
able article on ''The Art of Travelling
Easily" in the Ladies' Home Journal.
Experience has taught that q wrapper
of soft flannel in stripes of black and
blue. made in the simplest fashion, is
most useful. When she is ready to 60
to bed, and the porter arranges her
berth for her, she goes to the toilet
room, taking with her her shawl
strapped package. She removes her
shoes and stocks, puts on the knitted
slippers that she has taken out OF her
bag, removes any garments which she
pleases, and assuming her wrapper,
which has been folded in her shawl
strap, repairs to her berth. After
fastening the buttons of the curtains,
she disposes of her clothing as best
she can, folding<eaeh article smoothly
and carefully, and placing her money,
watch, and tickets in her wrapper
pocket. And then she should try to
rest-the porter will call her in good
season, and her ticket will not be asked
for during the night. In her shawl
strap, which shows as its outer wrap
ping shawl or travelling rug, she may
have her own pillow if she desires 1t.
But this is not necessity, as the cars
are supplied with linen that is usually
fresh and clean. In the morning the
wise girl will put ON her stockings and
shoes in bed, leaving the lacing or but
toning of them until later. Then she
will assume her other garments and re-
pair to the toilet room, where she
should as expeditiously as possible
make herself neat, trim and fresh, tina!
her friends who are to meet her may
not find her dusty or travel-stained.
This she should do quickly, that she
may not be classed among the womer
who are the dread Of all considerate
women on parlor cars-the womeI
who take and hold possession OF the
toilet room as if it were a fort.

THE DAINTY GLOVE.

Dainty gloves have always a special
fascination to woman who studies
her attire at all, and even in these
items there are points to be studied if
one would be up to date. The shops
are now showing all the new makes of
gloves for the spring and summer
season, and a really wonderfully at
tractive show it is. There are kid and
suede gloves in host of different
shades, from the ightest tan to the
darkest seal brown, and including
some very charming delicate shades of
fawn, drab and stone color, while the
gray shades are positively lovely, vary
ing from French gray to the darkest
slate. The very light grays with
broad stitchings in black will be very
fashionable, and are exceedingly pretty.
So, too, are some four-button black
Brussels kid with bright colored sew
ing down the fingers and twist stitch
ing on the backs. These fasten with
big buttons, and are quite the newest
thing, and will be much worn this
season. A stout chevrette suede, more
durable than ordinary suede, wearing
admirably, in fact, and having self
twist points, is to be found this season
In kid and suede gloves the number of
different colors is wonderful, includ-
ing mauve, petunia, lilac, heliotrore,
old rose, rose pink, salmon, old gold,
cream, fcelle and all the very newest
shades for evening wear.-New York
Commercial Advertiser.

graciousness to persuasive, a person
ality so captivating. Here is young
girl who maintains herself with credit
and respect under all adverse circum-
stances; who defends her person with
the shield of dignity; who preserves
the armor of virtue by her pure and
gentle nature; whose life lies in her
own hand by purpose of will, by
strength OF character, by decision OF
Judgment. All these qualities are her.
And something more which makes her
of our land the ruler! We cannot de-
fine it. But we know that across the
ocean, in Eastern lands, on every shore
where this charm of her presence is
felt, this indefnable gift of her char.
acter is honored and appreciated, the
question is, who is she? Why, the
American girl !-Harper's Bazaar.

FASHION NOTES.

A jabot gives dressy air to very
simply constructed blouse.
The smart zouave jacket is a rival
of the long favored blazer for outing
wear.
Lilacs are the Partisan rage for the
spring in natural and artificial
flowers.
Wrinkled stock collars with frilled
ends are preferred to stiff "chokers"
for bic use waists.
Strongly suggestive of fchu is a
pointed wrap that will set admirably
upon matronly shoulders.
With the shorter sleeves and warmer
weather it is expected that the Isle
gauntlets will start up again.
A wrapper is given a remarkably
trim appearance by arranging the full
ness at the waist in stitched plaits.
An overskirt and underskirt are sug-
gested by the new double skirt, which
is only becoming to very tall figures.
Very old coins are set in rings Of
gold and worn as pins. Whoever has
an antique silver piece may make this
use of it.
Long puff sleeves are often finished
with wristbands, but deep frills are
better when the hands are not small
and shapely.
A new tea gown has q trained Wat
teau back that is only confined at the
top, and front that is full, but not
altogether flowing.
Waists are inclined to be short and
are finished at the bottom with either
u frill.or soft folds of silk, and have
enormous dropping sleeves.
Black lace fans are now worked in
steel, and have handles of smoked
pearl, the duchess lace fans being
mounted with mother-of-pearl.
Ornamental pockets on the outside
of dressy street suit are creeping in
and should be of the contrasting ma
terial rather than the dress goods.
The many navy blue travelling and
outing suits that will be fashionable
this summer should be worn with dark
red gloves in harmonious contrast.
When white suedes are objected to
with white street or driving costumes,
remember that pearl-gray, mode OF
light tan are all handsome shades
with q white toilet.
Gold hairpins and combs are in fash.
ion again, and by that is meant those
made of solid gold, us well as count
less varieties in amber and tortoise
shell mounted in gold.
Importers show every year caprices
in decorative gloves, but the plain,
perfectly fitting ones with three rows
of stitching in black or the identical
color are always in good taste.
In skirts, first of all the circular
shape is considered the most popular.
1t resembles fiuted lamp shade when
worn. All rumors to the contrary,
skirts continue to be close fitting ai
top, unless for sheer or summer ma
terials

JEWELS OF AN AMERICAN COUNTESS.

The Jewels of the youthful Countess
Craven, says London society gossip,
will probably excite some envy among
our society ladies. 1t is not often that
bride of eighteen can boast the pos
session of three such superb pieces of
jewelry as the magnificent tiara of
diamonds, duplicate of the Empress
Josephine's, given to her daughter by
Mrs. Bradley-M Martin; the exquisite
and very valuable necklace of three
rows OF perfectly matchedpearls, which
was the present of her grandmother,
Mrs. Sherman, the widow of the
founder of the family fortune; and the
beautiful old diamond collarette, taken
from her own wedding presents of half
century ago by the Dowager Countess
Craven as wedding gift to her sons
bride.
