Jokes at the expense OF severe SCHOOL

unkind, but the following will bear repeating,
as it was heartily enjoyed by the teacher of
whom it is told.

effects, and the like, pupil arose and began
to give certain astonishing information re-

had been present.
His teacher replied that the anecdote could
hardly be true, as the uncle in question was
near her age, and she was not born until alter
the close of the war.
The boy looked little chagrined ut being

few moments of embarrassed silence he said.

TEA GOWNS GALORE.

So Varied Are the Latest Designs That
Every Woman May Be Suited.
The assortment of tea gowns shown in the

women haye nothing to do but to wear them.
So great is the variety that every type of
woman may be satisfied.
The woman who has a fondness for gor-
geous negigee gowns Will be charmed with a
tea gown recently imported from Paris. II is
fashioned OF dark blue velvet and has q
sweeping train and enormous sleeves. The
front of the gown is OF white crepe shot with
cerise. The crepe is gathered 10 the figure at
tie waist line and tied with dark blue rib
bons. To add 10 the imposing effect the crepe
front is bordered by bands OF Angora fur.

Hints for Dyspeucs.

Some trusting soul has written to the secre-
tary OF the Anti-Sedentary Club 10 know how
to cure dyspepsia. His reply may do suffer
ing thousands good:
''Neyer eat a meal when You are tired.
Either sit down or lie down ten or fifteen
minutes forest before eating. if YOU have
been walking or doing anything of an excit-
ing nature. Half the cases of dyspepsia are
due to nervous debility. Eggs, If eaten three
times day for any length of time. will pro-
duce bilioUsness and often dyspepsia. Ne er
go TO bed with cold feet. Gentle exercise be-
fore retiring is conducive TO sweet slumber
and healthy digestion Exercise a little be-
fore breakfast, and never eat oatmeal with
sour cream, Avoid stimulants. for they give
only a false appetite and no relief. Do not
swallow hastily ice water. Better not use ice
water at all. Never eat in hurry. Avoid
quick lunches. Exercise moderately every
day in the open air and healthy digestion will
drive away dyspepsia. These are the hygienic
rules of the club. New York Commercial

MONEY MAKING FOR WOMEN.
A Woman Purrier Who Makes Enough Il
Send Her Daughters to College.


Send Her Daughters TO College.
There is a woman in New York city who Is
making comfortable living remodeling ful
garments. Every one knows that TO have q
sealskin coat altered by furrier costs $50 al
least, but this woman does the work for muct
less and finds il profitable. She has no shop
rent to pay, no saleswoman to hire, and needs
to spend no money displaying her wares
hence the margin.
The materials with which this enterprising
woman works are small steamer, n tiny gas
stove TO animate the steamer, small irons,
peculiar needles and tall spools OF all sorts OF
coarse threads. She also has bottles of mys-
terious fluids with which she restores color,
removes stains and puts on the gloss.
When you send for this accomplished
woman she looks over the fur garment care
fully. III it is a coat she reckons its possibil-
tiles of alteration into the seasons modes.
She sees where to get a tall collar out OF long,
old-fashioned coat tails and how to make the
sleeves stand out in the prevailing mode. II
past altering, she measures FOR a cape, and
contriyes to save pieces for muff and. as
likely as not. a narrow strip for IL hat trim

To learn how to handle furs successfully
costs AN apprenticeship of some weeks. There
were fur stitches to be mastered. and the art

So. 80 day. As no coat or cape ever requires
more than three days work, and as very few
need more than half that time. the cost TO

An Umbrella Scrap Basket.

Get a gay Japanese parasol from any OF

very coarse darning or upholsterer's needle
make tiny hole in the bamboo ends so that
you can pass fine wire through, when the
umbrella will open about half way twist the
ends of the wire together, which will hold it
firm. Get your brother or father to fit the
ferule end OF the umbrella into small block
of wood, which should be weighted with
shot Or pieces of lead so that the umbrella
will stand upright. The block may then be
gilded or painted with a black or red enamel

One lovely bracelet was of fine lace-Iike
filagree, edged with diamonds, and on the
lace "body'' were exquisite flowers and
leaves, also in diamonds. Another was the
slenderest of wheat ears in diamonds of a
pale canary color, with three or four tiny lit
tie cornfiowers in sapphires. Then there
were small chain bracelets entirely composed
of diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds,
strung together as a child does glass beads.
and some of the jewels were by no means
small in size or price. A few were composed
OF a very thin gold chain, 10 which were at

ROSS AND PARKER MEDALS.
There being about thirty contestants for the
officers medals this year two nights con-
test was resorted to, the officers Of the First
Battalion drilling the first night and the offic-
ers Of the Second Battalion the following even
ing. Commissioners Ross and Parker offered
valuable gold medals as first and second
prizes respectively. Capt. Edwards, OF the
beeond Battalion was the winner OF the Ross
medal. and Capt. Adams. of the First Bat
TALON was the winner Of the Parker medal.
The competitive drill of 1894 was as inter
estlng as il was original. This year 1t en-
braced nearly every command contained IN
the drill book, so the success ofthe companies
depended upon foot movements and manual
where before only skill in the manual was re-
quired On the I'd and Sd of June the drills
were held. The first day the companies were
handicapped by steady rains, but those drill
ing the second afternoon had clear weather.
At the conclusion of the final company's drill
all nine companies we're drawn up in regI-
mental formation across the plaza, and COM
pany ID. Capt Smith, of the First Battalion,
was marched TO the front and awarded the
prize as the most proficient company on the
field.
Capt. Constantine Chase has been the old
standby of the cadets drills, and his name
has almost become a synonym for fairness
and impartiality. Very material encourage
ment has been given the cadets at different
times by Commissioners Ross and Parker,
Messrs. J. 7. Mitchell, J. w. Whelply, j. w.
Babson, 3. Ii. Warner, and others.
