IN PLACE or WHITE SKIRTS.

Every woman enjoys the sense OF
daintiness which spotless clean white
petticoat gives. But not every woman
can afford this luxury. The laundry
bill which surely stares her in the face
is appalling. Less expensive and al
most rs dainty are the new undergar-
ments of linen dimity. They are ecru
in color and made with a deep ruifle
tastetully embroidered in dark shades
of silk,
Ski.ts of black mohair or moreen
wear much better than the petticoats
of silk. They have much the same ef-
feet when made with silk rutfles Don't
make the rutiies OF old silk which you
may have in the house, left over from
gown which has seen better days.
There is no economy in it. The ruff
tles will become worn before you have
had the skirt week. 1t pays to buy
good silk for this purpose.

A Python Takes a Vacation.

George Ethelbert Walsh, describing
the animals in Central Park Menag-
crio in st. Nicholas, says:
Not a great while ago hugepython
snake escaped from his cage &c.
crawlcd away into some obscure place
in the park. As soon as the discovery
was made "A general alarm was given,
and every visitor deserted the vicinity
OF the menageric, while the keepers
started ont in search for the monster.
For six months nothing was heard or
seen of the snake, although floors were
torn up, and every nook in the park
was examined. The python had eaten
n hearty meal before his escape, but at
the end of the six months hunger
forced him from his hiding place, AMI
he was discovered one day by the
watchman. The brave man threw mis-
coat over the snakes head, and clung
to his neck until help came in reply
to his loud shouts. The huge reptile
had crawled to the roof OF the snake
house, and right under this he had
found n snug hiding place for six
months.

Don't Get Under a Tree.

Although it has long been known to
every person of any observation or in.
telligence that tree is the very worst
place to go to for refuge during
thunder storm, IA large proportion OF
fatalities and injuries reported from
Lightning continue to come from those
who seek its shelter. At Taunton and
near New York City several persons
have been seriously burned or killed
by lightning, all of whom had run un-
der the branches of tree to escape
the storm. Few are the exceptions II
this rule that the tree and the barn
filled with new mown hay and the
open door give to lightning its great
majority of victims. Springfield

THE SILK PErrIcoAr.

The silk petticoat has become az ar
ticle of artistic elegance, made OF rich
brocades and MORE silks and trimmed
with lace covered ruilles and hounces
os chiffon, and is almost rs important
an item OF dress as the gown which is
worn over it. A very dainty skirt is
made of black and white striped silk,
with hounce of yellow satin at the
bottom, over which is plated silk
muslin ruille edged with narrow black
guipure and headed with black inser-
tion and IA ruche of muslin. White
satin and white chiffon are the ideal
combination for II bridal petticoat.

Tho GrOtesque Seahorsc.

One of the most grotesque creatures
in existence is the seahorse. Not only
is this true OF its quaint shape, but
especially queer are its habits. Wo-
men who are interested in the rights
OF their sex should provide themselves
with seahorses and study their pecu-
liarities. The male OF this animal
takes entire charge of the business OF
incubation, while the female wanders
away wherever she pieases. The
father carries the eggs around with
him in an abdominal pouch provided
for that purpose until they are
hatched. They are great trouble to
him, bat he attends to the business in
q most exc aplary manner. Chicago
