of the Modes.


We are accustomed to the appear
ance of new nervous maladies.
Morphia and ether, for instance, are
two of the most recent additions to the
list of human ills which oSerciviliza-
ton brings. But new habit has as
serted itself which suggests curious
train of thought as to the direction in
which human alterations in the mat
ter of personal habits may eventually
tend. 1t is said that the new habit,
that of 'salt-eating, is not only great
ly on the increase, particularly among
women of all classes, but that it is in
many cases most serious disease 1t
begins with desire for large quaint
ties of salt with the food and, il not
checked, reaches a stage in which the
patient carries salt CRYSTALS about with
herself wherever she goes, and is con-
tinually nibbling at them. The symp-
toms are a peculiar yellowness and
shrinking of the skin, which is fol-
lowed by the loss of all the hair, even
that OF the eyclids, until the sufferer
resembles one of the wretches who
have been condemned to work In the
quicksilver mines The desire for salt
Is said TO be universal, not only in
human beings, but in all vertebrate
animals, but the degradation of this
taste into positive disease is entirely
new, while the immediate cause re-
mains extremely obscure.

The story is now being told that II was
Judge Caldwell who pulled the strings whlcn
secured the rejection Of Wheeler d. Pecknam
for Supreme Court justice by the united
States senate. 1t will be remembered Una.
when Caldwell at Little Rock appointed re-
ceivers for the Atchison, Topeka & santa 70
railway company there was great oplecIioh
raised to that appointment by the Union
Trust Company of New York, one OF the
principal creditors OF that railway company.
MIR. Peckham, as attorney for this trust com
pany, sent a brief and insulting telegram TO
Judge Caldwell, declaring that his company
would not recognize that appointment. Caia-
well made no reply, but when Peckham
nomination was sent to the Senate by the
President, 1t is said that Judge Caldwell sim
ply sent the telegram to an influential senator
with whom he was acquainted and 1t was the
circulation of this telegram which changed
SO many votes. Tho opinion of those who
read the telegram was that man with tenn
per like Peckham's did not possess the Jul
| dicial mental poise aud temperament. 1t is
| thought that the senator who received this
| telegram Is Senator Wilson Of Iowa. He is q
member of the judiciary committee OF the
Senate and voted against Peckham in the
committee and afterward. Chicago Record.

The belief is expressed by many who are In
a position to know that the time is not far
distant when the great falls of Shoshone, the
Niagara of the Snake River Of Idaho, will BIO
used 20 supply power for manufacturing and
other purposes.
New developments In the scheme to operate
an electric railroad between Shoshone and
the falls tend to confirm that belief.
Negotiations have been in progress for
some time regarding this road, and, recently,
State Treasurer Hill received letter from q
New Y DIRK capitalist, who became interested
in the enterprise some time ago, saying he
was satisfied money could be raised, not only
to build and operate the road, but to put in
an extensive electric plant to furnish power
for mines and manufactures which the same
men would, doubtless, put in operation as
soon sufficient power was assured.
The length Of the proposed electric railway
will be forty miles, and If it be built, Sho-
shone Falls will shortly become one OF the
leading summer resorts of the West.-Irriga
ton age.

A black serge gown is about the
most economical investment woman
can make. When worn with a silk
shirt front it is sure to look well. For
strictly business purposes it could not
be improved upon if worn with cloth
or black MORE vest and four-in- hand
tie,
Here is a picture of new black
serge gown. The waist has an Elton
effect with the addition of the latest
basque, which is cut off in front start
ing from the side seams, and is made
very full
The gigot sleeves are effectively
plain. Another new feature of the
waist is the silk front worn with it,
This begins with deep sailor collar of
striped old rose and white silk, edged
with butter-colored lace. Below the
collar is cascade of the silk formed
in u narrow jabot and finished with
lace, while below this is still another
frill of lace-trimmed silk This gives
the front the effect of double jabot,
the lower one being confined at the
waist by a black satin band. The skirt
of the gown is unadorned.

ELECTRICITY MADE BY WIND.
At slight Erpsns. 1t Is ro.sibi. to Fl.

At Slight Expense 1t IL FoSefble to Eft
Your House with IncandsscsntA
New York Press: Mr.. ]. A. Corcoran
of Jersey City has just completed a
velexperiment in the application Off
windmill to an electric lighting plant
The plant, though an experimental
one, is now in operation without as
yet single mishap, and the storage
cells furnish current for twenty
four incandescent lamps in Mr.. Corco-
rams residence. Everything points to
the complete ruccess of the scheme
The mill has diameter of eighteen
feet and at speed of twenty miles
an hour is capabls of delivering three
horse power. The dynamo driven by
belt from the main gear charges set
of storage batteries 1t is SO designed
that throughout the wide variations OF
speed of the windmill it maintains the
potential constant Mr.. Corcoran
says that the application OF a windmill
to run the dynamos Of an electric
lighting plant will place electricity in
the homes of thousands, who can thus
secure their motive power from nature
A windmill is not very costly struc-
ture, and any one who owns bit OF
open land about his residence can
erect one and fit up his simple electri-
| cal apparatus inside of it The thou
sands of windmills one sees in travel
| ing over the country, if Mr.. Corcoran's
scheme proves a permanent success,
may be utilized for lighting the resi-
dences of the owners and those OF
their neighbors, as well as drawing
water for stock. One windmill will
light half dozen residences at the
same time
| The machine in Mr. Corcoran's wind
mill occupies floor space of only
thirty inches square and fifteen inches
high. The dynamo has maximum
=. current capacity of thirty five amperes
at thirty-tive volts and is put into
action when the speed is 600 revolu-
| tions per minute, that is, when an
eight-mile breeze is blowing.
A great thing that deferred expert
ments with windmills was the wind
itself, but it is believed that success
can be had with the average rate OF
~ miles per hour that can be depend
ed on throughout the United States
While the maximum and the minimum
rate of course, vary during differen'
seasons at the sea- coast and in differ
emit localities, the average rate OF IA
miles can be obtained at almost any
point in the country Near the sea
coast and in elevated localities the
average rate is much higher, and it is
in such situations that the first at
tempts will be made throughout the
country to apply the plan of general
ing electricity with the aid of wind
So it will be readily seen that the util
ization of the waste forces of nature
is steadily pushing itself to the front
Engineers now study application
which were hardly considered proper
for a sane man to consider a dozer
years ago.

1t is a well-known fact that girls of
manageable age or older, especially
the latter, do not like to tell how old
they really are, but you can find out if
you will follow the subjoined rules,
allowing the young lady to do the
figuring to suit herself: First, tell her
to put down the number of the month
in which she was born, then to null
tiply it by 2, then add 5, multiply by
so, theu to add her age, then to sub
tract 365. Next have her add us and
then tell the total amount left In
this grand total the two figures to the
right will tell you her age and the
other the month of her birth. For
example, If the amount is 500, she is
29 years old and was born in August
the eighth month.
