The Indian Forgot That He Was .
Temperance Scholar.
"Some years ago." said the story
Ge1ler, ''I was out West on. or near,
an Indian reservation. I had about
forty miles to go to ranch and was
to make the trip in q wagon, as had
some household effects to take along,
including a jug of whisky. Some mis-
sionaries were stationed at my start
ing place, and one of them recommen-
ded as my escort an Indian named
William Penn, a good Indian, and
one who was active in the
Sunday school He didn't look
it, but his recommendations
were excellent, and accepted him.
In the stable, before leaving, offered
him drink of whisky from my flask,
as the day was very cold, but he
grunted and shook his head. I offered
it to him again. just after his friend
the missionary had told me goodbye,
and he refused again. After we had
been on the way an hour felt chilly
and took out the flask and small
glass. The Indian looked at it visit
fully as poured it down. I didn't
think he wanted any but I handed
him the glass.
"Ugh,'' he grunted, with a vigorous
shake of the head; ''me no Sunday
school scholar; gimme Jug"

The Newest Fabrics for Use in Feminine
Apparel.

The Newest Fabrics for Use in Feminine
Apparel.
Mixed cheviots at fifty cents to sew
enty-ive, serges in plain, mixed and
diagonal effects, showing brown, navy
or cadet blue, make durable fall f~rocSs,
and should be of a medium weight.
Mixtures do not soil nor rub shiny as
soon as plain materials. Elaborate
trimmings are out of place on school
dresses, Or light colors. The heavier
winter dresses may show red and dark
green in addition to the colors men,
toned above, and include the rough
boucle effects that wear well and have
a warm, bright look in the midst of ice
and snow. It is important to have
dresses for fall and winter. and to vary
them according to the season. To wear
a dress suitable for September in Janu-
airy is simply inviting a cold. Trim these
frocks with colored or black mohair
braids, close or open patterns. or
~velveteen for belt and collar, or perhaps
only a vest of surah will brighten up
the suit. Plaids are always worn more
or less by girls, and r cheerful in ap-
p%earance, as well as remarkably con-
venient for making over a dress of last
year, and they combine readily with
almost any color or material. In buy
ing new materials get enough extra to
make a new pair of sleeves, as this part
always wears out first, and a growing
girls arms have a fashion of running
out Of every length of covering, which
an extra yard will obviate.
Light and dark brown, navy and
cadet blue, Oxford gray, dark red and
green are colors worn by misses in
plain r or sackings, or the mix.
lures that are of contrasting shades or
colors. Mixed goods do not soil as
easily as plain, neither do they wear
shiny. Cheviots and covert cloths are
well-wearing goods from fifty cents to
one dollar and twenty-five cents.-Har-

Lace Trimmings.

The falls, frills and jabots of coarse
lace that were SO much the fashion a
few months ago are rarely seen now.
Lace is still used in quantities, but it
is laid fat on the gowns, and is gener-
ally of the expensive variety. The lace
insertion put fat on sleeves in hori-
zontal baLds is both becoming and
effective. and for this purpose either
black or white lace is used. These
bands do not extend below the elbow,
and are. as a rule. not more than two
inches in width. Rows of lace, alter
mating with rows OF gros grain satin or
velvet ribbon. are made up into fancy
waists. Green or brown looks particu-
larly well with yellowish lace. The
stripes run up and down, not across,
and the sleeves are in the regular Leg
of-mutton shape, 81 much the fashion
last summer. The batiste lace is more
used thar any other kind, and is really
more of an embroidery than a lace

WHEELS IN THE ARMY.
Great Increase in Bicycles for the Armies
of Europe.

Great Increase in Bicycles for the Armies
of Europe.
The use of bicycles in all the armies
Of Europe has been enormously in
creased during the last two years. In
Holland members of the various bicycle
clubs who have already attained their
twenty-first year and are proficient in
their art are invited to join the army
under certain advantageous conditions.
The number of posts offered is seventy
five. The candidates are paid fifty
guldens a year for the wear and tear
OF their machines, are given the rank
Of corporal, and presented with a
uniform to be worn during service.
When upon duty the bicycles are
allowed five guldens a day. From
the LIST of March to the 30th of April
they receive instruction twice a week
from an officer in military affairs. The
candidates have to bind themselves to
be ready during a space OF five yeans to
be called out at any moment by the
war minister, and also to attend ma
neuvers for at least three weeks every
year. At the end of the first five years
they can enter on another term of five
years. These arrangements are said to
have met with great success in Hol-
land, and it is probable that the mum.
Der of military bicyclists will shortly
be increased.
In Portugal bicycles have been intro
duced in the army, and have met with
much success. They were proved in
the great maneuvers which took place
at Tancos to supply a want long felt,
In Spain bicycle instruction in the
infantry and rifle corps now forms a
speciality. Money prizes are offered
to the best riders. In time of ma
neuvers the bicycles are used for the
carrying of dispatches, posts, etc. In
Bulgaria. since 1898, to every six divis'
ions a bicycle corps, consisting of one
non-commissioned officer and eight
men, is told off.
In Denmark a certain number of re
cruits undergo a course of instruction
in bicycling. In France, since 1893, al
least two men in every regiment are
told off for bicycle work. Sweden, fol
some years, has paid particular atten
ton to the use of bicycles in military
service. The velocipede corps wear in
fantry uniform, and are armed with re
v~olvers. To every division ten men are
told off to belong to this corps, and arr
specially instructed in fore-post duty
reading of military maps, and in the
surveying of roads, bridges, etc.-Lon
