APRONS FOR CHILDREN.

Materials Usually Worn by Girls of Three
to Twelve Years.
White wash materials, plain, striped
and checked, trimmed with white or
colored embroidery, the patented frill-
ing or cotton lace, as torchon or
Valenciennes, are worn by children
of three to twelve years. 1t is no
longer customary to wear aprons at
all times and places in lieu of dresses
or to hide shabby frock. Now they
are worn by city children only while
at play, or during the morning hours,
though country lassies still wear them
to school, which is a sensible plan that
should never have fallen into disuse.
Caprice is found with as homely mat
ter as useful apron, age not infiuenc-
ing the effect, as school child of ten
years will not wear an apron without
vigorous protest if 1.-The other girls
don't wear them" At some of the
large boarding schools aprons of black
silk or white wash goods are insisted
upon. The former naturally are pre-
ferred, as they do not increase the
wash list. Surah and taffeta are the
neatest materials for black silk aprons
intended to be worn by school girls,
and consist of gored front and sides,
with a belt and ribbon strings, one
pocket and simple hem or rows of
feather stitching for finish on the en-
tire edge. Others will have a row of
heavy inserting let in above the hem.

Bride Your Tongues, Girls.

1t is pity that girls who are dis
posed to be witty at the expense of
others do not know how unattractive
they make themselves, and how often
they offend against good taste. A
smart girl sometimes says unkind and
untrue things about her comrades, and
thinks it all right when those to whom
she says them laugh at them. Don't
be deceived, girls. Two or three sharp
and uncharitable speeches may warn
your best conquests off the premises of
your heart, though that heart may be
kind and true and loyal. and, put upon
its mettle, would disown the acrid ut
terances of that thoughtless little
tongue of yours. Cutting speeches do
not pay in the end. They cause a
laugh, perhaps, but leave bitter MEM
ory. And they are not always true.
Don't be funny at the expense of truth,
of charity, of good breeding.

DUELING IN EUROPE.
A Sport That Is Entertaining and Excel
lent Exercise for the Muscles.


lent Exercise for the Muscles
Dueling is the leading, and almost
the only, athletic sport in Italy. 1t is
true that there is an Alpine club so
called because its members climb the
lesser heights of the Apennines, but
there is no cricket, and. except among
the laboring classes, ball games of even
the mildest character are hardly ever
played, says the Idler. The young
Italian gentleman finds dueling an ex-
ercise which is beneficial to his muscles
and sufficiently exciting to interest
him, and the middle-aged Italian keeps
MP his practice with the foils and occa-
sionally challenges and fights friend
Just to show that he is not too old to
have lost genial interest in the inno-
cent pursuits of youth.
Dueling is contrary to law in Italy,
but the duelist is never punished (un-
less he should accidentally kill a many,
except in the army, where the sport IS
obligatory and strictly prohibited The
same curious anomaly exists in Ger

challenged to fight, is virtually told:

but nothing can be more idiotic than
dueling. Playing charades in draw

wisdom in comparison with it
At least ninety-nine of every hum
dred Italian duels are of the class tech
nically known as ''frst-blood" duelS
That is to say, the contest ceases the
moment either of the adversaries loses
blood. In these duels the sword is al
ways used, and the slightest scratch on
the hand or the arm-which are the To-
calities usually attacked-signalizes
the end of the game and authorizes the
duelists to sheathe their weapons and

A Simple Way to Make q Tele.
phone at Home.
It Il Better Than Speaking Tubea and
Can Also Be Connected with the
Houses of Neighbors-Get Your
Boy to Construct One.

Most of the readers of this paper arc
no doubt familiar with the method OF
constructing the mechanical, or, as 1t
is sometimes called, the acoustic"
telephone, and nearly every boy has
seen or made telephone of this sort.
The one shall describe can be made
easily and in a short time out of ma
terial that is at hand in every home.
Carefully constructed its capacity for
Transmitting sound is remarkable, and
It will be found practical instrument
for short distances.
To make the ''transmitter," which Is
powder can, the half-pound size being
preferable, and with a sharp knife, or
can-opener, cut out the bottom. Now
take piece Of tough writing paper, or,
better still, some sort of thin parch-
ment paper, as the latter is less liable
to tear, and cut out a round piece
large enough to cover the mouth of the
can and leave a margin of about half
an inch all round. Through the center
of this piece of paper stick good sized
pin and bend the point so as to form
small hook.
Now take the lid of the can and cut
in its center hole about one-fourth of
an inch in diameter.
Place the paper over the mouth OF
the can. being careful to get the pin
exactly in the center of the can, so that
the end with the hook on may be
drawn through the hole in the lid, and
press the lid of the can on over the
paper, taking care to keep the latter
stretched tightly over the end of the
can. If the, lid will not go on easily
pry up the edges of its rim little so it
will not cut the paper. The lid
stretches the paper tightly in the man.
ner of drumhead and you have dia-
phragm, that responds to the slightest
vibration of the line.
Now attach your line, which is to be
of coarse linen thread, to the hook on
the pin, first drawing the latter through
the hole in the lid until the pin-head
strikes the diaphragm. The telephone
is now complete and may be fixed in
position by passing strips of leather or
tin over the can and mailing the ends
to the window-casing, shelf or wall, as
may be desired.
1t is best to avoid angles in the line,
but, if it is found necessary to make
them, pass the thread through hook
made by bending the end of pin, to
which must be fastened a short string
or thread to tie to the support. This
hook allows the line to slide freely in

The Man Who should BE Bappy

He cannot be an unhappy man who
has the love and smile of a woman to
accompany him in every department of
life. The world may look dark and
cheerless without, enemies may gather
in his path. but when he returns to the
fireside and feels the tender love of
woman he forgets his cares and
troubles and is comparatively happy
man. He is but half prepared for the
journey of life who does not take with
him that friend who will forsake him
in no emergency, who will divide his
sorrows. increase his joys, and throw
sunshine amid the darkest scenes

either direction when the line is
stretched.
With two telephones like the above,
connected in the manner shown by
coarse linen thread or very small cop
per wire, conversation can be carried
on for quite distance. and it will not
be found necessary to place the ear
close against the opening in the can
In order to hear, as is the case with the
electrical telephones. Three, or even
more telephones of this kind can be
used on the same line by simply run
ming branch line to the intermediate
phone, care being taken to keep all
the lines taut. To cali the distant
Office simply tap on the can, or the dia-
phragm, with a pencil or stick. The
noise will be heard distinctly some dis
tance from the distant instrument.
The accompanying diagram may be
found useful in constructing the tele-
phone. j. A. De LA VERGNE, JR.
