there are still more millionaires proper

good deal of work to perform in order To

impulse in the minds of those who attain
riches late may never be computed.
Sometimes very rich men go into COM
petition in the culture business with
good results for tine masses Such com
petition between two millionaires Of
Rochester resulted in the founding of an
art gallery, fondly called by its citizens
the finest private collection Of paintings
in America. This characterization of
the Powers gallery is probably extrava-
CANT.

Next come, neck and neck, Cornelius

with between ninety and a hundred mill

The Latest Ideas Evolved by Modiste
Mantua-Maker


An extravagant novelty Is to trim a
light silk petticoat with frills of chlf-
fon OF different colors.
The fashion of displaying ribbon on
the hair of little misses and young
girls IL revived, partly for the sake Of
convenience and partly TO give a
dressy effect. Bralds are tied with
bright satin ribbon, curls are held In
place by them, and above the top Of a
single braid Is thrust tiny butterfly
bow, or the eurls on the brow are held
in place by band of baby ribbon.
Black serge dresses are trimmed
with watered silk, edged with ecru
lace, and black hopsacking is adorned
with Jet and yellow lace,
Sets OF three gold and silver butter
flies In filagree, with some decided
color shading In the center, are sold for
the waist, the top OF the shoulders and
the hair. There are some Of the most
fairylike flowers, such as pink mlrnosa
and the tamarisk, made in the same
filagree thread to be used for the same
purpose.

HINTS FOR THE TABLE.

Plenty OK time should be taken.
Fish ard oysters are easily digested.
An hour or two OF rest should be
taken after the meal
Mere qualification Of the appetite Is
very likely to shorten life.
Dinner should be Of lighter nature
in summer than in winter.
A quart Of wheat contains more nu-
triment than bushel of cucumbers,
There Is a happy mean between eat
ing everything and being squeamish,
ri is not good to dine when In q
state of mental or physical weakness.
TWO pounds of potatoes contain as
much nutriment as thirteen pounds OF
turnips.
Light soups, light desserts and light
meats should have the preference In
warm weather.
Abuse Of the stomach at dinner will
be repaid sooner or later by that
punishment which comes to the glut-
ton.
Vegetables and fruits are to be used
most generously at that season OF the
year in which they naturally mature.

And the lilies loll an lean?
What's the use to run fer office,

An the mornin' glory's climbiH'

What's the use to run fer office,
When the rose Is sweet with dew;
When the whippoorwill is singin
An the violet Is blue?
What's the use to run fer Office,
When the daisies deck the sod.
