A SIMPLE FROCK.
S6O-ALEXINA DRESS.
Sizas for q and 8 Years.


This little gown offers an admirable
model for either plain or dressy frocks.
The FULL straight skirt is sewed to the
waist, the fullness Of which is held IN
place by an easy fitting lining, which gives
perfect freedom. The collar can be made
separate SO as to be worn with other
gowns, and also for convenience in laun-
dering. This is an admirable pattern for
school-gowns of serge and lightweight
wool, and also for the dainty India and
fancy silks which make pretty frocks for
party and dancing school wear Our
model is of cashmere with an embroid-
cred batiste collar, and a girdle of ribbon.
A special illustration and full directions
about the pattern will be found on the
envelope in which it is enclosed.

Damage TO the Partheno-

Shortly after the recent earthquakes
In Greece a commission of experts,
composed Of native and foreign archi-
tects and psychologists, was appointed
to ascertain what amount of damage, If
any, had been sustained by the Parthen-
on during the successive shocks. The
commission has now sent In n report to
the minister of instruction, in which
1t states that the building has not suf-
fered In any appreciate degree. At
the same time II advises that, as a
measure Of precaution against future
accident, the architraves should be
strengthened with iron Orders, and
that protection should be afforded
against rain, and, In particular, against
the falling of small stones, which has
gone on uninterruptedly since the
AcropoIls was destroyed by the vene-
tians.--London Standard.

The Representatives in Congress have
the right to appoint cadets In the Mill

and this right they exercise In turn.
An applicant must be appointed by the
Congressman In whose district he lives,

1T WAS NOT REDEEMED.

The Old Man Had Treasured a Counter
felt Till the Mice Nibbled 1t.
Not long ago $40 note was sent to
the United States Treasury for redemp-
ton. Accompanying it was an affidavit
saying that the owner put 1t In a cigar
box, where mice had got at 1t and nib
bled IL. The note was counterfeit.
Not only that, but 1t had been through
the Treasury here at some previous
time, and had been stamped with the
word bad" In letters cut out OF the
paper. But the alleged mice had Ill
most obliterated the letters by nibbling
around them. 1t was a queer way for
mice to behave, to say the least OF 1t.
A detective of the service was sent to
look the matter up. He investigated
the case fully, and reported that 1t was
all right-in short, that the note had
been submitted for redemption In good
faith.
The owner, 1t appears, was an old
German sailor Of respectable character.
Nevertheless, he would 60 on an occa-
sional spree. Waking up one morning
after night Of dissipation, he found
all his money gone except this note Of
$50. Somebody had, doubtless, passed
1t off on him. He noticed nothing
wrong about it, and had put 1t into the
cigar box In which he kept not only his
ready money, but also birdseed for his
pet canary. Mice, attracted by the
bird seed, visited the box, and Incl
dentally chewed up the note. On find
ing it partly destroyed, the sailor for
warded it to the Treasury at Washing
ton. The case Is interesting, chiefly
as an Illustration of the way in which
appearances Of fraud may sometimes
mislead.

How much does a newspaper man
write In a year? An old newspaper
worker has sat down and figured II out.
He figures that he writes an average
OF column and half every day, ex-
cept for his Sunday paper, when he con-
tributes three columns. This makes II
columns q week, and allowing for two
weeks vacation, he has 80 weeks In the
year, In which time he turns out $4,000
words. An ordinary book of short stor-
les contains about 10000 words, there
fore his years labor is equivalent to 20
books At this rate OF comparison the
feat Of Marion Crawford in publishing
two books per annum does not strike
the newspaper man as an incredibly
hard task, even allowing for the extra
amount of thought involved ia story
writing. Mr. Howells considers 1000
words a good days work. Thomas
Janvier is satisfied with 400 words, or
a little over q quarter Of column.-

Rare Catch at Cape May.

A sea hare, q marine animal, speci-
mems of which have never before
been found in this latitude, was found
at Cape May one day last week by
Henry Lehman. Mr.. Lehman was
fishing and caught It In his net. The
sea hare was unknown to the fisher
men of the locality, who thought 1t be-
longed to the cutie fish family, as 1t
emitted from sac on the under side
fluid of red and black color. The
specimen, which weighs about two and
half pounds. has been presented 10
the Academy of Natural Sciences, and
will be exhibited in q live state In the
museum for a few days for the benefit
Of visitors. A member Of the academy
has furnished the following descrip-
ton of the specimen: Aphysia, or, as
it is commonly called, the sea hare, Is
q mollusk allied to the snails and slugs,
but living in the sea and feeding on
marine vegetation. It's shell is rudia-
mentary and internal, the body being
protected by a fleshy lobe or flap on
each side. The head has four tentacles.
The eyes are very small. Species Of
aphysia have been found In Bermuda
and Florida, but never before on the
Jersey coast. This specimen, therefore,
extends the range about 1000 miles.
In ancient times aphysia was supposed
to be poisonous, and to cause badness
to any one handling them, but they
are now known to be perfectly harm
