No Doubt About His Mcanness.

FrOm TtarSOns " tekIy.
To the large number of stories Of the
"meanes. man." which are frequently re-
lated, one should be added of a certain
Frenchman, famous for his habit of grum-
Bling at everything and on every occasion.
He was attacked by in1ammatory rheuma-
tism, and was carefully Iursed by his wife,
who was very devoted to him, in spite of
his fault finding disposition. HIS suffering
caused her to burst into tears sometimes as
she sat by his bedside.
One day friend of this invalid came in
and asked how he was getting on.
Badly, badly he exclaimed, "and it's all
my wifes fault
'Is 1t possible?' asked the friend, in sur
prise.
Yes. The doctor told me that humidity
was bad for me, and there that woman sits
and cries, just to make it moist in the
ROOM"

From PearSOn'S weekly.
Each day adds some new virtues to the
long list of those already credited to the
pneumatic tire. The latest of these is that
the wheels of bicycle being encircled by a
band of india rubber and dry air-which is
a perfect insulator-the rider is completely
insulated from the earth, land, consequently,
is impervous to the attacks of the electric
fluid.
Any one who suffers from nervousness
during thunder storm has now only to go
into the dining room or the cellar and seat
himself Upon the saddle of pneumatic tire
bicycle to be perfectly safe from lightning
stroke AS the chances of a man on a
bicycle being struck by lightning have been
carefully calculated to be about one in a
billion, there WILL of course, be some pessi-
mists who will deny that this newly discov-
cred virtue of the pneumatic tire amounts
to very much.

Next to velvet, fur will be the popular
trimming. An odd fancy for capes is espc-
cially designed, it would seem, for the
working over of ones old furs. You can
take one of the old deep fur capes to the
fur shop, and, by the addition of 4 deep
border of velvet. or some sharply contrast
ing fur, which will be set onto your cape,
the bottom of which has been cut in deep
notches. you can have an elegant new gar
mont. and one which is pre-eminently
stylish, at compare lively small cost. A
rich example of what may be accomplished
In trimming with fur is found in the illus
tration, which is designed in green broad
cloth, and has a foot trimming, collar and
cuffs of fur. The skirt is a simulated
double one, with two rows of buttons, and
the skirted coat is set with buttons over a
gold-embr oidered vest.

stricted look. and will be popular" In uni
son with the above statement, which fairly
represents the prevalent sentiment regard,
ing this matter below is presented an illus
tration of the New Woman shoe recently
designed:
In outline this new design is very striking
as we'll as novel, and it's almost faultless
contour well adapts it to be success in
the lire of comfortable footwear as we'll as
presenting a fine appearance when worn.
This shoe is very handsome when made in
a Goodyear welt with an enameled vamp
blue cloth top, and wide welted seams, and
embellished with six large buttons.
1t can also be varied in construction by
making it in polish, either with Russia,
patent or enamel leather vamp and cloth
top; or the top may be of leather of light
er shade than the other parts of the shoe.

Bird That Poisoned Her Young.

From the Carson (Nev) Appeal.
1t has been claimed by observers Of birds
that some of the feathcred tribe will feed
their young if they are Gagged, and if they
fail after certain time to release them
will bring them poisoned weed to eat, that
death may end their captivity.
About week ago ut the Holsteir ranch
the children captured lest OF three young
orioles, and they were Immediately caged
and hung in a tree. The mother was soon
about calling her Young, and in little while
brought them some worms. She continued
feeding them regularly for several days
without seeming to pay mucn attention to
persons about.
But on Sunday came the tragic ending
that demonstrated the theory relative to
birds. She brought them a sprits of green
en- Sunday morning and disappeared. In
less than an hour they all died. The sprig
was examined and proved to be the deadly
larkspur, weed that will kill full-grown
cattle. =
The little creatures lay dead in the cage
and slightly foaming at the mouth, victims
of their mothers stern resolve that her
offspring should die by her own act rather
than live in captivity

Tie woman who would look smart must
have black gown, and 1t must be of hand
Sc me material with all the dainty accesso-
ries in dead black partially relieved if de-
sired with touches of white. 1t IS to be
winter of "all black" and the most expen-
sive of black at that. An elegant example
of all black. which will be worn at an off,
cial dinner party early in the season by
young lady in her second season, is of
heavy black-corded silk, with long French
ion-pleated black chiffon. The odd little
putting up the front is of the chiffon, and
the falling ruffles are of fine black chantilly
lace. The chiffon front is made over lus-
trous white satin, and that is the only
thing that relieves the funereal appearance
of the young beautys dress.

In remodelicg gowns, it will not be a
very expensive undertaking to make a very
handsome garment. for there is not much
change in the skirt, and the bodice may yet
remain round The foot of the skirt may
be freshened with band of plaid velvet,
for instance, and the seams corded or strap
ped with it. Then the belt. sleeves. collar
and revers may be of the velvet, which will
fIeshion and brighten an old gown wonder
fully.
An elegant street dress like the illustra-
ton may be designed of dark chameleon
mohair in red and black. The belted blouse
has a fitted lining, and an odd effect of but
tened down revers and shoulder straps. 1t
fssters at the side front. and has lapels
and pockets. The hat is striking example
of the new velvet shapes" and has a
simple knot of velvet and ostrich tips for
trimming. - - -

THE NEW woMAN's SHOE.

Noticeable Change of Shape mt the
Prow-Othcr Peculiarities.
From Shoe and Leather Facts
A contemporary recently, in commenting
upon women's shoes, for the coming season
and the coming woman remarked that
there is noticeable change of lines at the
prov. Although the 'slender-pointed toe has
gained a strong hold upon feminine tastes.
the idea is, nevertheless. growing that the
extremes in these shapes are not good for
the welfare of the foot, and in many in
stances they are far from comfortable. De-
signers have been busy on new lines in
which the sharp tip has been slightly clip
ped, leaving a narrow front, but not fine
point. These have ISIS pinched and re-

You can be just widely known

Now, that ruftles are come back as a

we shall see heavy wooden gowns decorated

will probably be revived. Silk ruffies hem

Popularity of Velvet.
Velvet ribbons have the appearance Of
monopolizing the attention, for a time at
least. this winter. Skirts will be more or
less trimmed. and velvet ribbon will he
largely that trimming. 1t will be put at
the foot in the shape of plain bands, some
times in graduated width, or in rows Of
three to five.
Velvet will be the popular fabric all win
ter very largely used for sleeves in wool
en- gowns, for bodices to which sleeves like
the skirt will be attached. and for whole
suits, to say nothing of jackets and wraps.
The rage for velvet will extend even to
