lars and Their Use.
In this dull period between winter
and summer fashions. when all the
new ideas have become old and nov
elites rare, there Is time to consider the
possibilities Of the home made gown
and some individuality in dress in
connection with simplicity and that
economy SO needful to the woman
with limited allowance and extrav-
agant tastes. 1t 10 somewhat diff
cult to reconcile the growing ten
dency to extravaganza in fashion with
the dwindling incomes OF the past
year. yet there never was q time
when a last seasons gown could be
made over with any greater degree Of
success. from a fashionable point Of
view, and all because of the variety Of
materials admissible in one dress.
In the midst OF season Of
so much magnificence in attire,
such rich velvets and bro
cades, satins, furs, and gorgeous
trimmings, simple gown well made,
and worn with a stylish grace, has
some chance to gain distinction. 1t
is novelty because Of it's plainness.
Good taste and well proportional
figure are q fortune to the woman

How . Special Practice Pays.

The recent death of DIR. Loomis,
the specialist in lung diseases, re-
veals that he left an estate valued at
more than 81, 600, 600. half of it per-
sonal property. DIR. Loomis was q
good business man, it is said, and
knew how to invest his earnings.
But his special practice brought him
an enormous income one of the
largest of any professional man in
Now York city. Specialists gene
rally enjoy lucrative practices and
escape many of the hardships which
fall to general practitioners. OF all
the professions that of medic..le re-
quires perhaps the severest labor,
and it deserves high remuneration.
1t Is stated that the average an
nual income of physicians, even in
our large cities, is not more than
81, 600, and in the rural districts it
rarely exceeds $1,000. DIR. LOOMS
was one of the three physicians in
New York whose practice was said to-
yield over 100000 per annum. 1t
is estimated that only half dozen
others make as much as $50, 900
year, while more than hundred earn
$4,000 or thereabouts and three
hundred more than IS, 900 each. The
remainder of the physicians in New
York do not average more than from
81 900 to $3, 600 apiece, and Of these
there must be in the city several
thousand patient plodders.

so with o good pattern the medium
skirt, flaring at the sides and we'll
out in godet plaits at the back, can
easily be made success while the
full bodices, so youthful and becom-
ing, cover no end OF deficiencies in
the shape of lining underneath. The
fancy for spangled materials and rib
bons for dress trimmings can be in
dulged with very little expense by
sewing the spangles on at home,
which Is very easily done. Ribbons
Nspangled very little on the edge or
in vertical lines at intervals make a
very effective, inexpensive trimming,
which can be arranged for neckbands,
belts and braces over the shoulders.
A simple home dress for morning
wear is made OF serge or O fine mixed
tweed. The fullness in the bodice is
brought over to form two box plaits
in front at the belt of black satin
ribbon, which starts from beneath
the arm, passes beneath the plaits.

Lace collars are no longer regarded
as luxuries--they are considered
economical Investments. One lace
collar, II ingeniously treated, is capa-
BILE OF varying the effect of half
dozen different waists.
Every woman knows that IL the
bodice Of her gown appears like new
her entire costume Is stamped as such.
Therefore, great is the value OF lace
collar. 1t must be q large collar OF
some heavy lace like Russian thread,
and should fall we'll over the corsage
and form epaulettes over the sleeves.
When 1t Is purchased 1t should be
worn untrimmed over q dark waist
and will give a stylish effect to the
whole costume. On its next appear

stock OF chiffon or velvet; again it
may appear lined with any of the
new shades OF silk. This will give
charming touch Of color to O black

shown In the illustration. having the
loops stand up high on the shoulders
and the longest ends reaching below

appear to be fastened to the collar

of forgetmenots. This collar crowned
with forgetmenot blue chiffon stock
would be an addition to any costume.
After lace collar has been treated
in these various ways, as last resort
it may have the design outlined in
jets, gold threads or tiny colored
beads. Then again it will appear
like new and fulfill its economical
mission.

Old Bibles.

The first bible printed in America
was in 1868. 1t was translated by
John Eliot into the Algonkin Ian
guage, for the Indians. The following
facts relating to the present value Of
this and other old bibles will prove
interesting. At the sale of the Brin-
ley library in New York, March,
1879, an Eliot New Testament of 1861
brought 500. At the same sale q
bible OF 1868 sold for 81 900. At an
auction in 1884 bible Of 1885
brought $3.50. The Bement copy OF
the Eliot Testament of 1861 sold in
London in 1920 for less than dollar.
The same copy, at sale in New
York in 1890, brought 500. The to-
tai number OF Indian testaments and
bibles Of this period now known to
exist Is 125. The first bible. printed
in America in a European tongue is
The Saur bible. This was printed
in German, by Christian Saur, who
came to this country in 1924.

who would be fashionably dressed
on q small amount of money, and il
she will only study herself and adapt
the fashions to her individual needs, by
avoiding exaggerations and waking
them harmonic with her particular
style and coloring, she will find that
she Is quite as attractive in simple
inexpensive attire as she would be in
any of the most elaborate creations,
and certainly she who possesses
neither taste nor good figure can
better master the art of dressing
well il she avoids extremes in fash
ion and keeps to the simpler modes Of
dress.
The most successful gown, like the
most attractive home, is the one
which is exactly suited to the woman
inside of it, and has something of
her individuality in it's fashioning.
At present the chief difficulty in
making fashionable gown at home
lies in the skirt, which seems to need
q skilled dressmaker TO manipulate
it's fullness but it is not the extreme
full one which is the most popular,

The Teiesrapher's Ear.

The sense OF hearing is developed
in the modern telegraph operator to
an abnormal degree owing to the use
Of the typewriter in his work. In
former years, when he copied his
messages with pen or pencil, his ears
were accustomed to only one kind
of sound-that of the telegraph in
strument-while in these days of the
typewriter he must distinguish be-
tween the sharp click of the ticker
and the almost similar rattle OF
the copying machine. According
to an old operator, the sense of hear
ing soon becomes so developed that
the distinction is easily made. With
little experience in the use of the
typewriter along with the telegraph
instrument the operator ceases to no.
tice any similarity of the sounds.

The Japanese Officers.

A war correspondent, writing after
familiar association with Japan's
leading soldiers, says. THE Japan
csc officers are mixture OF the
French officers and the German sous
officers. They live right among
their men, sleep near them, eat the
same food in sight of all, ex-
pose themselves to all kinds
OF danger and hardship. No wonder
abe soldiers have the greatest conf
eence in them! l found every Jap
dnes general l met to be brave, gen.
lrous, kind, polite, ready to give his
life for his men and for his flag.

these men is written it will I'M

OLD lRoNslDEs."
The Noble Frisate Constitution Al.
most q Century Old.

UOoS - SCUtoTy Sb0s
The famous frigate Constitution,
often known as ''Old Ironsides," was
launched Sept. 20, 1897, and there
fore lacks only two years Of being O
century old. She is the most famous
ship in the history of the United
States and in her renown rivals the
celebrated line Of battleship Victory,
Lord Nelson's flagship at the battle
OF Trafalgar. She has been, indeed,
what is called Q lucky ship. She
never lost battle, she never fell into
the hands of the enemy and she
never was disabled BY storm. Many
narrow escapes she has had in her
long and prosperous career, and she
has come triumphant out OF all her
adventures. Like the constitution
of the United States, after which
she was named, she has withstood
every danger that threatened and is
a fitting type of the ship Of state.
OF course, during her seventy-five
years of active service the Constitu-
ton often needed to be repaired. But
although the material in her has been
often replaced, she always continued
the same ship, just as the human
body is the same body OF the same
person, though its substance is
constantly changing. In 1880
it was decided that the good
frigate Constitution would hardly
warrant the cost of repairs, especially
when the nature Of modern naval
warfare was considered She was
therefore condemned, and was about
to be broken up when Oliver Wen
dell Holmes famous ode appeared,
beginning, "Ay, tear her tattered
ensign down." The poet shamed
Congress, land it was decided to repair
once more the old warship. She took
several cruises after that. and once
carried load of wheat to the starv-
ing poor of Ireland. On that voyage
she went ashore, and being old there
was every reason why she should have
left her bones on the coast; but, with
her usual good luck, the Constitu-
tion got of without serious damage
and returned to her native land.
But day came at last when no
further repairs would avail, and q
government which pays little for
sentiment would spend nothing to
keep up a ship which had contributed
so much to the glory of our ship
builders. Of our brave seamen and of
our starry flag, The Constitution,
leaky and dismantled, was lying at
the Brooklyn navy yard, awaiting
her doom. Happily the government
again relented in her favor. 1t was
decided that she should not be broken
up. AS long as her old timbers
would hold together she should be-
allowed to float, but not with her
trim masts and spars, as II still q
living monument Of our naval pride.
No; they would not break her up,
but they would send her into an OBJ
scure exile, where few could see her
and where she would soon he for
gotten and gradually wear away.
Sometimes ] think it would have
been nobler to take the old frigate
out to sea, and piercing her sides
with a volley of guns let her sink
into the bosom of the element which
had borne her proud form to so many
victories

Future Of the Pneuma attic Tire.

Der tire, with an iron hoop outside,

The Pyramids.

Thousands of years before there
were any dwellings on the sites
since occupied by Jerusalem, Rome
and Athens, at the very dawn of
human history, when all the rest IF
the world was still wrapped in the
thick gloom of prehistoric barbar
ism, a vast town of huge buildings
rose not far from the present CITY,
on the other side of the Nile, which
was dotted with he boats of the
ancient Inhabitants. A forest of
venerable date trees cast its shaa-
ows upon the black sol, beneath
which lie buried the builders of
This city Of a world gone by, of
which nothing remains but the
vast cemeteries, their positions
marked by an avenue of monu-
ments. The famous pyramids of
Gizeh, opposite Cairo, on the Dor
ders of the desert, form the last Of
these necropoli.
