How Did 1t Get There?

Postal authorities at Worcester,
Mass, were surprised the other day
to discover in the mail matter 9
slightly soiled linen collar. At first
it seemed that some absent-minded
person had mistaken letter box for
soiled clothes basket. But an ad.
dress on one side of the linen, with
a Cancelled postage stamp, and a letter
written On the other, proved that the
linen had been put to use as the con-
veyor OF intelligence. So the collar
was back stamped and the missive
delivered.

THE statement that President
Peixoto OF Brazil has whipped the
rebels and re-esta blished his admin

PeiXoto has not had one fraction of

that credit is largely due for the
end OF the war. Of glory. if Com

THE Judge who sentenced burglar
Virgin, of California, to life inn
prisonment did an excellent thing
for society. Incidentally he expressed
some views concerning hypnotism
that must be regarded as lucid and
valuable. In his opinion criminal
inspired by a mysterious spell to do
evil is no more to be encouraged
than one who becomes q lawbreaker
for what there is in it. Divorced
from hypnotic influence Virgin
might be as pure as his name, and
the method employed By the Judge
to bring about the divorce will be
commended as just and effective.

THE revival of bull fighting in the
City of Mexico Is a sad blow to the
pretension that American influence
and immigration have raised the
standard of Mexican amusements.
One brief experience with horse rae
ing was apparently all that was
needed. Racing is too tame and
foot ball is too brutal. Well, per-
haps, after all, the bull fight is the
happy medium.

A New JERSEY farmer whose wife
and baby had been killed by burglars
in turn killed the burglars. The
populace set him up on pedestal
and drew near to worship The
farmer did not say much, and when
the populace heard him raise his
voice there was an awful hush The
farmer was haggling with dime
museum man who desired to buy
relics of the tragedy, including the
raiment worn by the victims. Then
the populace retired. The pedestal
is empty now. The farmer has been
eliminated from the hero class and
is in the "meanest man" competition
with every chance of winning.

! Introductory. Joseph was sofa at
Dothan. seventy miles northeast or
Hebron, his home. Dothan was once
the home of Elisha. The sons or
Jacob were here paSturlng their sheep
They doubtless brooded over their re
lations to Joseph, cherished revenge,
and excited and encouraged one an
other in their cnmity. Jacob may
have been FanXious about his sons
because Of tleir previous conduct, and
sent Joseph 20 learn of their welfare.
This journey proves that Jacob did
not treat Joseph with too much IN
diligence. Lions, panthers, bears and
wolves were common then in
Palestine. When the brothers saw
Joseph coming in the distance
they planned to kill him and throw
his remains in some nit. and report to
their father that he had been killed by
bears. Reuben proposed to throw him
into some pit and leave him there to
die of starvation. Then his blood
would not be upon their hands. Reu
ben's real desire was to rescue Joseph
and restore him to his father. They
agreed upon the pit.

 Of all the manifold garments conse- crated to the adornment of the fair sex the tea gown is the only one that is en- tirely a product of the nineteenth cen tury. The dress of today is a revival, not an invention. The tea gown, on the contrary. is the modern modiste's own idea, and great credit reflects on the in- genuity of the designers. and shows con- clusively that it is possible to combine beauty and perfect ease in one garment. It is n garment capable of amending variation. Its suavc outlines will adapt themselves to any mode of the past or the present. And herein lies its greatest charm-that is multiplies your person ality and gives You new perspectiyes of life. If it be of renaissance design. one can assume the personality of a Venetian patrician in the days of the Medici- In the Grecian gown one may reincarnate Helen or think the thoughts of a mus mee in texture of old Japan There Is, in fact, no limit to the gradations of thought and feeling a tea gown may

A snI.it of Accommodation

A prisoner before the police judge secured the services of young sprig of an attorney who not only was q very consequential young man, but he thought he knew about ten times as much as the judge knew he knew. When the case was called, the attorney arose.
 May it please your hunor.' he said. with great furnlality. my client wants more time.
 "Very we'll. very well." interrupted the judge in the kindliest way. I'll be glad to accommodate him He was arrested for abusing his wife, wasn't he:''
 That's the charge of the arreSting officer, your honor.
 "Very gooi, said his honor. ''I had intended giving him only thrre months. but since he wants more I'll make it six. I always strive to please. Call the next case. Mir. Clerk ''-Detroit Free Press

beget in the soul of its wearer. This Is no fantastic nonsense. but sober sense enough, for We all live up to our clothes, either consciously or uncon- sciously. Our manners match them in- voluntarily. Why not our moods also:
 To the daughters of this generation the tea gown has become an institution. The term ''tea gown is applied to any kind of q dress that is not closely ad- justed to the figure, whatever its texture may be. The whole spirit and intention of the tea gown is, however, lost if the material is not soft and flexible, hiding and at the same time expressing every line of the figure.
 At first it was an exceedingly simple affair. but it has grown more elaborate every season and is affected by the craze for gauZy stuffs and handsome lace, but this only adds to the charm without de- stroying the comfort. If you want to be cxtrayagant, there is no end to the lace that one of these affairs will absorb. Soft wool crCpOns, india silks and fou- lards make pretty gowns, while thin muslin and batiSte are especially adapt ed to the season.
 Pretty as n picture k tea gown in rose color. the inspiration Of a New York beauty. Tho front, which appears from under the full plaits. falling straight from the shoulder on either side. is of crepe de soic run with narrow black satin ribbon in triple rows from neck to hem. A yoke of point de venise lace unites the drapcries and reappcars in tight band round the arm. where the pull of rose colurcd velvet, barred with jet, terminates. Tho lower portion of the sleeve is uf CCru colUrcd silk, each puff separated from its fellow by n band of the ribbon.
