ABOUT WASH GOODS.
Faverite Skirt for Thin Goods AMI
the Question of Innings.

Favcrite Skirt for Thin Goods and
the Question of Innings.
A word of advice. Pray don't try to
make up q wash goods gown on a circular
skirt pattern, or, in fact. on any of the
many gored patterns, because you will
come to grief If YOU do. A gown that is to
be washed should never be Ii, ed, and the
fantastic skirt Of numerous ,res simply
has to be lined to make it hang properly.
If you don't line it, it insists en- hiking up
in front, dragging at the sides and scoop
ing up in the back. If you are silly
to line it, and launder it, It comes from the
hands of the laundress a perfect sight!
The favorite skirt for thin frocks has but
one gored width, and that is the front one.
It is wide, and slopes little from the belt
to the foot, and has a few gathers in it in
stead Of the usual darts. The remainder
of the fullness is distributed around the
waist, with a little more in the back than
elsewhere.
A pretty illustration of this kind of skirt
is found in white Swiss muslin, which is
pretty full all around. and has not YES
tige of trimming on it, having a simple
Fem about four fingers deep. The bodice
is round-belted. and just as full at the top
as at the bottom, with the fullness shirred
down at the shoulders and the odd effect
of long shoulders, formed by shirring the
sleeves at the top and hiding it under bows
with many loops The underslip may be
of some pretty color, or just white, as so
many prefer. Nothing is purer or sweeter
than an all-white costume, and If they are
not loaded down with lace and embroidery
they are the cheapest of summer toilets.
1t is now an established fact that broad
white hat IS the only fit headgear to wear
with floating white gown. Lots of rib
bon, lots of lace and lots of flowers, just
as many of each as you have endurance to
carry around, is about the proper caper.
The French make all their thin frocks
ever silk Innings! Think of the cost of the
things! Sensible American girls make their
thin frocks without Innings of any kind,
and wear instead ,he long pre- dicted sateen
or lawn slips of any color they like, some
times having two three for enc gown of
organdie or swiss. The difference in the
cost Is vast. Old silk party gowns are
sometimes utilized for these pretty Slips
but never by any chance are they made
up with the thin cotton stuff.

Something Homelike.

W. ]. Lampto1 in the New York Sun.
The man from the unpublished southwest

several days, but his environment didn't
fit him, and the consequence was he was
going slightly lame. The clerk at the
hotel where he stopped noticed his condi-
ton, and once. or twice the guest Ased

Dispensers of Harmonies.
Street music can scarcely be called celes-
tial in its harmonies, and there are those
having no music in their souls who dub it
satanic; but 1t must be admitted that it
plays a prominent part in the enjoyment
aud pleasure of thousands whose ears are
not attuned to finer expressions of the di-
vine muse who dwells in hand organs and
harps. Some hand organs do rasp the soul
like a rat gnawing a file, but-the owner of
the indiscriminating ear minds not the fine
distinction between fiat and a sharp, and
even grins at distinct discord, knowing that
by SO much the sweet notes that come after
Will be the mere apprecia ted. Even the
most diabolical of asthmatic old wheezers
have few musical notes, you know.

know where the children cengregate in the

teen miles an hour, less than the average
velocity of the wind at the heights at
which la France" travels, 1. e., about
1000 feet high, within the range of COM
paratively small firearms. A first-class
mortar-the only large gun which will
throw a projectile directly upward-will
send hall to the vertical height Of con-
stderably over mile. The French believe
that by doubling the dimensions of La
France she will travel twenty-five miles

In view of these disadvantages in the bal
Icon system of signaling our experimenters
are thus looking more toward the perfec-
ton of the aeroplane or aeroscrew idea.
The best authorities on flying machines
agree that their first practical use will be as
instruments of war. Not to take part in
actual battle so much, but as means of
communication. One might be guided over
hostile territory, where explosives might be
dropped, destroying bridges and other
means Of communication. A flying machine
would be very much less likely to be hit
by gun aimed from the earth than would
a balloon, on account Of its much smaller
size, combined with it's extreme speed.
which some aerodynamists now believe will
seme day reach as high as 200 miles an
hour.
Owing to the small area exposed by the
nsht frame and vital parts it will be very
difficult to hit, and If struck the chances
are that ball would go through one of
the tEin coverings of the wings, without
SCATTERING any other part. 1t is not be-
lieVed that an airship will be of much value
for carrying guns heavier than Maxim
repeater which weighs about sixty or
seventy pounds. A successful airship will
probably be able to run several days with
out renewing fuel or water, providing that
a sufficiently light air surface condenser
can be perfected.
The progress of these experiments will
doubtiess be watched with worldwide in
terest. Nor does their practical side re-
main any longer matter of vain conjec-
ture. AS it was expressed recently to the
writer by an expert in these lines, to whom

A SEake Fight.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
A curious story comes from Georgetown
township, Floyd county, Ind, few miles
from New Albany. One day last week
David Baker, a farmer of that township,
went squirrel hunting. Observing COM
motion in tree in the thick woods near
his home he made close investigation and
horrif ed to battle between snakes
in the top of a large white oak tree, sew
en.y-five feet from the ground. For sew
eral minutes he stood bewildered, but coll
lecting his senses ne fired at the snakes
and brought two to the ground. A second
shot brought three more, but all but two
managed to escape.
The snakes were CT the black species and
of remarkably large size. They had evil
IDENTIFY been fighting for the possession of
squirrel that was found inside one, hav-
ing been swallowed but few minutes be-
fore, as life was hardly extinct.

A Retrospect.

A path winds through the arching trees,
The sunbeams glance between,
And fall in spearlike, quivering CLEANS
To gid the fairy scene;
Cool, sloping banks of dewy green
Stretch down to the road below,
and, where the ferns and grasses wave,
Red, star-shcped flowers glow.
Sad Memory gliding through the past
No thrill of pleasure brings,
But visions of the loved ard lost
Bears on her somber wings
With soulless eyes that see me not,
And give 10 answering CLEAN,
They float along my fancy's track
The phan:o;us of dream.

PRESIDENTIAL
POSSIBHITIES.


 There appears to be a tacit under standing at the present time that the Democratic Presidential nomi- nation in 1896 will be conceded to the Southwestern part of the coun- try. New York may still be called doubtful, but unless the leaven of harmony which has lately been put into the Democracy shows wonder ful results, an outsider would stand better chance of carrying it than one of its own statesmen, however we'll equipped. There is but one New York name which is seriously considered in this relation, and that is Whitney's.
 As the brunt of the next National campaign will fall upon the West and South; these sections will have a large inf uence in the nomination. The South will hardly present can didate of her own, but on the chief issues will naturally side with the Democracy with such States as Hi noise and Indiana For in the cleo tion next year there will be unsuual importance attaching to the Con- gressional districts since it is possi- ble that the choice of President may fall to the House.
 A concentration of effort upon either one of three distinguished Illinoisans would, as the situation is viewed now, secure the nomina- ton. William R. Morrison, Vice President Stevenson or Chief Jus tice Fuller, if nominated, would stand good chance of reaching the White House. Gov. Mathews of Indiana, has displayed good stuff, and there are others" whose merits will receive public attention in due time. U.
