goods; silk and i'll; and cotton for those
of greater value. Wool is not found at all,
even as u filing or woof. The old notion
that cotton could not be permanently dyed
has been proved false again and again.
Manufacturers now claim that it makes n
better filing for fine class goods than
either wool or linen, and that quite alone
it is capable of doing excellent service.
Certainly it is cooler by far than any
fabric which contains even Il minimum Of
wool and is eminently desirable for sum-
mCr use.
Chester cotton and crctonno take and
deserve tho highest place among cottage
and bedroom drapcrlcs and cun be found
in all colors and all designs. The former
deserves II much more general recognition
than it has obtained. 1t costs only Is or
20 cents n yard, yet is thoroughly good in
color and artistic in design and will laun-
der without vcStige of change. For pill
lows and cushions it is spcrfcct and for bed
room curtains can be made as charming
as can be by lining either with itself or
with fine sicsla of fiat tone,
Thin silks or Japanese and Chinese
silks can bc found in all grades and all
prices. They are delightful, as all such
soft, clinging things must always be, and
they make ideal pillow covers, but arc
hardly suitable for hangings unless they
serve as lining for some more stable stuff.
Many firms in filing orders, where econ
omy is no object, uso cretonnc or other cot
ton stuifs for the curtain proper ana one
of these silks for the lining. The effect is,
of course, charming, and the hanging
takes folds such as nothing less pliaolo
! womb Yiell.

1t may be news to somC young house
wifo that boiling fruit may bopourcd into
jar without the slightest danger to tho
glass if only it be set ON u folded cloth
which has been wet with cold water says
Harpcr's Baaar.
The old custom of using n silver spoon
as u conductor for the heat prevails in
many households still, but the wet cloth
is simpler The filing of jars may be
greatly expedited by the use Of groccr's
funnel, and small milk diDper is the
best thing for ladling out the hot fruit or
Sirup. Tho use Of such little conycniCnccs
renders canning much less fltiguing and
indeed it is Il process not without interest
where success usually results.
The best and easiest way to cover iellies
is to pour melted parailin over them when
they are quito cold. This hardens Mt once,
when piece Of brown paper may be tied
over the glass TO keep out the dust
The cake OF parallin may be easily lifted
off when the jelly is used, and if washed
and put away can be melted over again to
serve the same purpose another year.
Para1lin is Il clear white wax which is
absolutely tastClcSs Its use was first sug-
gested by chemist, who once saw his
wifo laboriously cutting little rounds OF
white paper and dipping them in baandy
for the tops of her jellics. One trial was
sufficient toproyo its value as Il time saver.

THE Old Story of Trouble In Its Relation to
Sex-How the Mosquito Lives and Dies.
How the Little Pest May BE Exterminated.
Remedy For the Bites.
[snccinl Corresnondence.l

BAYoNNE, N j., July 5.-Human in
Tenuity has been exercised i'll hun
drod ways to create or invent either a
cure for mosquito bites or somo prevent
i've for the incuTsions of this unwelcome
summer visitor. One scientist has de-
fised a plan to rid himself of mosqui-
toes, but il is of such u nature that its
use could not be of practical benefit in
large moSquitoinfected areas. Neverthe-
less it is worthy Of recording and may
make moro pleasant the summer resi-
dences Of those who can afford to lease
q country home"
He discovered that it was from the
ponds on his estate that the mosquito
came. He examined the water and
found upon its surface under the micro
scope that nyriads of incipient mosqui-
toes were there. They existed in kind
Of laryal condition and floated upon the
surface, After one years or seasons ex-
perience of the Scourge this scientist de-
vised plan that would undoubtedly
rid such residences of mosquitoes. He
had the ponds drained until they were
quite dry, and then he applied--in the
springtimc--a wash Of diluted creosote
to the bottom and sides. The next sea-
son---last yoar-thero was not a single
mosquito around his house, thus PROV
ing that it is only necessary to arrest
tho insect in its embryonic stage to in
sure immunity from it.
But useful as this idea may be to
those who possess similar homes, it
could be hut of little value in the gem
eral destruction of the mosquito, which,
so far as New York is concerned, is de-
voloped for the mostpa in the marshes
Of Jersey.
1t is well known fact to ontomolo-
gists that it is only the female mosquito
which bites" or, in other words, only

mcnt to the neck, affords relief from the
suiiocating feeling tnat the well named
"chokors" cause and is II particularly be-
coming mode to robust women who have
Il short neck Any change in dress which
liberatCs men and women from artificial
and unnecessary trgmmCls without de-
tracting from pleasing appearance is a
good one, and it is unfortunate that the
rational intervals Of fashion arc as tran
siCnt as her absurd capriccs
Summer gowns, at any rate, arc very
pretty and comfortable made without a
collar, and it is to be hoped that this stylo
will prevail over that OF the standing col
lar, which has suppearcd this season even on
muslin blouscs For the street the corsago
may be cut down about an inch all around
and the edge trimmed with ruching of
two inch ribbon thiclly plated on very
full rrill OF lace. This prevents the neck
from seeming too much uncovered and
adds very little to its warmth.
Numerous adjustable articles Of neck
wear are shown which may be worn with
Collarlyss gowns when occasion requires
that the costume shall be high at the
throat Black and dwhitc are favored com
bination for these tribes, and pretty ones
are shown made of black crepe dc chino
edged with narrow ecru lace. As II usual
thing, they have long ends in front, and
ribbon enters largely into their compost
ton
An illustration is given of a short sum-
mcr mantle made Of black satin. 1t has
short capelikc sleeves composed of five ruff
hcs Of lace and is trimmed with jet passc-
mcntcrlc and tullc embroidered with jet,
which forms rcycrs in front and cpaulcts.
The neck is cut down and has 10 collar,
and roscttc Of black satin ribbon is placed
at the back. BrCtcllcs Of ribbon, beginning
under bows at the shoulders, extend to the

TIE FRENCH MONT DE PETE.


State In the Interests of the Poor.
OF late the French system of pawnbrok-
ing has been receiving attention from phil
Hnthopic and charitable workers in this
country, who have even begun in . lin
tied way to put into practice somoSf its
ideas.
In Paris thcro are no private pawnbrok-
ers. A central corporation, with many
branches both in Paris and the provinces,
has u state monopoly of lending money On
movable property. The head officers Of
this corporation are appointed by the gov
eminent and the civil service system Teigns
over the appointment of its clerks The
profits of the corporation go to the public
charities.
Theimmcnse capital needed for the bust
ness is not money Of the state but is bor-
rowcd. A fifth of the sum is supplied by
the Comcdic Franchise or state thcater,
which is also q corporation of theatrical
artists Altogether there are 1000 lenders
of money who prefer the mont dc piete
certain interest Of from TO per cent to
any heavier speculation. Tho money thus
borrowed by the corporation is loaned out

living in Paris who have had their fathers
