New York, Sept. Here is thrifty
secret that is we'll worth imparting to
all womankind which appreciates the
value of making one dollar do duty for
ten. The idea is to make up number
of fluffy filmy evening frocks that cost
a mere nothing and can be worn over
crisp warm silk slips.
In many cases these are worn over
complete undersuits of silk.
Any one of the three designs here
shown can be reproduced in the mate
rails described for less than $40. They

BALL LIGHTING.
[From Chambers, Journal. ]


The occurrence of what is known as
ball lightning is so rare that every in
stance of it is of some interest. The
London Lancet lately described a narrow
escape from death by this form of light
ming, which was experienced by dis
tinguished surgeon of Louvian who had
gone to visit patient in a nelghborlng
town. He was overtaken by a thunder
storm and what he described as ball
of fire descended upon and rendered him
for some time unconscious.
On coming to himself he found that
the cloth of the umbrella which he had
been holding was completely burned off
its steel framework, the metal being
twisted into every shape. He attributes
his safety to the circumstance that the
umbrella had a wooden handle; had it
been of metal he must have been in
simultaneously killed.

Famous Hunters Among the Fair
Sex-NIrs. Royal Phelps Carroll

Mountains and on Every Side Men
Are Opening Their Gun Clubs For
Women Members.

New York, Aug. 25.-The pretty
Weed costume, with its shortish skirt,
knickerbockers, trim coat and small
soft hat, forms a part of every young
Englishwoman's wardrobe. On the con-
tinent too, the girls have gone in for
guns. rifles and shooting costumes with
so much earnestness that even The
Field records the heaviest bags" of
the season made by the fair pursuers
of pheasant and woodcock.
The young American woman is grad
ually adding a rifle and shot gun to her
various athletic possessions like golf
sticks, racquet and fly rods. Although
deer are not falling victims to her Prov
ess. by the hundreds, very frequently,
in the Airondacks or the Rocky Noun
tains, a shot from a rifle held by wo-
man lays low the monarch of the
forest" Mrs. Royal Phelps Carroll has
shot bears in the Rockies. The Kildare
club, which has it's headquarters in the
Adirondack mountains, numbers sew
eral ladies among it's members, ladies
who have records as shots-no others
being eligible to membership.
During the winter a certain shooting
gallery on Madison avenue is the rem
devious of young ladies who wish to
keep in practice, or who are just learn
ing Forty shots for dollar is the
fee, and the pet rifle is one that weighs
three and a half pounds. This is the
one with which the novice makes a
beginning; one weighing ten pounds is
frequently used by women.
In about ten lessons of one hour each,
a person can master the technicalities
of rifle shooting, and even become quite
an expert The rest is a matter of prac-
tice, with either glass balls, pigeons on
the wing, or tigers in the jungle.
GUN AND PISTOL PRACTICE.
After becoming familiar with the use
of a rifle, the next step is to take a
pistol in hand. The next weapon in
the category is a shot gun.
For beginning, 1 would recommend a
light 20-bore, say about five pounds,

Even to callers she shows this trait,
and when they attempt to flatter her
she either does not understand or turns
their compliments adroitly aside.
Very many artists have fallen in
love with Rosa Bonheur from her
work. Crowned heads have bent be-
fore her and, more than once, princes
of the blood, becoming acquainted with
her, have told her Of their very great
alteration for herself and her genius.

were she to enter a home as its prime
ministries she would be success as
far as orderliness and perfect appoint
ments are concerned.
ATTRACTION FOR THE MEN.
1t is said that these women bachelors
receive more offers in their prime and
even in their late life than ever do girl
bachelors in their giddiness and youth.
Men really admire them more. Men
like the sweet serenity of years, the
tranquility that comes of long philos-
ophy and the softness of the grey
hooks shading the face. But be that as
1T may, none receive more offers, nor
are the objects more frequently Of real
love persecution, than are these pub
hc-sDeaking women.
~,When Florence Nightingale was a
hospital nurse in the Crimean war she
received on an average five offers a
day from men whom she nursed and
who wefe trying to get well in order
to devote their lives to her service
But this excessive number is not to be
wondered al when enc considers that

many that she even scorned them,
discouraging her suitors in way that
angered them, and for a time made
her name one that told of unkindness as
well as mercy. But then came the
memorable occasion when she gave all
the money in a lump to the Nightin-

To be happy in old age it is. necessary
that we accustom ourselves to objects that
can accompany the mind all the way
through life, and that we take the rest
as good in their day. The mere man of
pleasure is miserable in old age, and the
mere drudge of business is little better;
whereas natural philosophy, mathematical
and mechanical science, are continual
source of tranquil pleasure.-Thomas
Paine.

NOT TOO EXPENSIVE.
AS to the cost; for a good English
gun, from 800 to $500 is asked. AIneri-
can guns. which answer all ordinary
requirements, cost $40 or $25. For $50
even a fair article can be furnished.
In France, in the Seine department
alone, 143 ladies have recently taken
out shooting licenses
SOME CLEVER MARKSWOMEN.
Mrs A. c. WalIhan, OF Colorado,
went out for a few weeks camping
with her husband last October; a cam
era and rifle were among her impede
menta, and one of her featS was first
to photograph a wild deer and then to
shoot him-this is, perhaps, unique
record. The deer, when dressed,
weighed 215 pounds; he was the thirty
lsecond deer she has shot during her
career.
Another clever young woman with
the rifle and shot gun, although in a
different line, is Miss Jeanne Held, a
member of the South Side Gun club.
Miss Held's costumes are always fetch
ling, but particularly so when she goes
| off on a cunning expedition. She wears
a corduroy jacket, dark gray, with a
isl1irt made quite short, leggins of fine
russell leather and thick-soled shoes.

Dark green and russell brown are the
colors additionally regarded as appro-
PIRATE ones for field costumes. and chew
lot, tweed or Swiss flannel the favorite
material Long channels gloves are
worn, a channels pouch is thrown over
the shoulder, and if a few bonbons get
mixed up with the cartridges, perhaps
it is all the better for the bird on the
wing.
In England Miss Leale, a young girl
about 20 years old, has scored thirty
out of possible thirty-five in compe-
tition with trained rif1emen- She
shares with the Princess of Wales the
distinction of having shot with real
rifle at a real target across Bisley COM
mon, but unlike her royal highness,
she sighted her own weapon, and held
Int in soldierly fashion to her shoulder.
In advocating rifle culture, it is not
expected that a race of female sharp
shooters will be developed. 1t is for
the physical advantages it offers-the
erectness of carriage and directness of
vision that it develops. The woman
who shoots will hold her head erectly
and not have the air of a dropping lily.

The Episcopal Church in the diocese OF New

twenty years. The wonderful growth is shown
in somo detail in tho recently published Jour

communicates has increased from 2O.2S2 in

were confirmed. There has been an almost
uninterrupted yearly increase in confirmation.
until last year the number was 4.31a The
whole number confirmed since 1873 Is 1902.
In the same period moro than ll5.oOO people
wsre hnpiised. The sunday schools have
grown from an enlistment Of 2.OSl teachers
and 22.413 scholars in 1873 10 AGA teachers
and ~. 4G5 scholars in 1893
