THE STAMP OF STYLE,

Stylish suits of tan and gray duck have
heavy white vests
The tartan craze has attacked parasols

Ribbon garnitures are again the promi
nent features Of summer gowns.
Bretclles are again popular, made Of the
dress material or different trimming.
Blue serge suits are made with box
plated bodices, the plaits edged with de-
tachable needlework frills.
One is hardly In the swim at oil without
q needlework and insertion front Of some
sort. These pile the counters of the shops
in literally dozens of styles. ~.
The box plated front for waists is in
high favor. 1t is so very common that fo1
the woman who will have only one or two
waists it is wise to select another style.
Sleeves are lightly lined for midsummer
wear and droop gracefully. Skirts, too,
are losing the starched, ungraceful effect
that came from too much stiffening. They
are still voluminous, but have no longer
the wooden folds of recent date.
From Paris comes word of decided
novelty in the shape of real flowers pre-.

alleged, retain all their original beauty fo1

THE JEWEL CASKET.

A pretty clover leaf is made of three
opals set in diamonds.
Large fiat heart shaped lockots attached
to silver chains seem to have so1no vogue.
A new ring has a largo bean shaped
opal for the center and diamond Of good
size on each side.
The belt pin continues to engage atten-
ton. Those Of silver treated with enamel
are pretty and inexpensive.
Bursting suns now show sun spots. In
stead Of being composed entirely of dia-
monds, other stones are introduced among
the diamonds.
All the French b1ouses have three but
ton studs. Accordingly there are numbers
of pretty sets consisting Of sleeve buttons,
collar button and three studs.
Linked sleeve buttons are of carbuncle,
moonstone and other semiprecious stones
that admit of high polish. These have
only the slenderest rim of gold and look
like drops of translucent jelly put to new
use.
In such obvious articles of dress as
tiaras unusual liberties are taken in de-
sign. One seen was a rim Of diamonds en-
circling the hair, while poised directly in

Deaf people place their hands behind

Many diseases cause pallor because in

LITZ.
To the New French Empire the Con-
sular Republic contributed one fact of
transcendent Importance. That was the
Code Napoleon-a work WHICH the EN-
peror regarded to the end of his days as
his greatest gift to posterity. Before
the Revolution, France had bad as
many laws as provinces. The cynical
Voltaire declared that in his country the
traveller must change his code as often
as he changed horses
The question of unifying and nation
alizing the statutes Of France had been
before the States General at Versailles.
By that body the measure was remanded
to the National and Constituent Assem-
bites; by these, to the Conventions; by
that, to the Directory; and by that, to
the Consulate Here, then, had arisen q
power at last that was able to revise
and reform. A commission was appoint
ed by the First Consul. headed by the
great lawyer Tronchet, to reconstruct
the jurisprudence of France.
In four months this commission made
it's report to the Council of State. Ma
poleon personally presided. The project
of the commission was read. discussed,
and passed on, clause by clause. On tho

armies were sent flying in utter rout

Third Coalition was broken into frag-

Meanwhile, from the borders Of Han
over, the Quixotioal Gustavus had taken
to flight, and was eager to secure him
self beyond the Baltic. On the gath Of
December, everything was completed by
the Peace Of Pressburg. Austria gave up
the whole Of her Venetian possessions
into the kingdom Of Italy. The Tyrol,
Vorarlberg, and Passau went to Bavaria.
The latter country and Wurtemberg
were made into kingdoms. For all this
the ancient Empire Of the Hapsburgs
was compensated with Salzburg and
some other triling places .... ..s

government, consequently they have never
been enrolled. Some time since Moses Neal
allotting agent. and formerly agent at the
Sac and Fox agency, went out to enroll
the Kickapoos. They paid no attention to
him. and declined to give their names. They
would neither give him their own names or
the names of other Indians. In recent
count 1t was ascertained that there are now
81 kickapoos, of whom about So are bucks;
the rest are squaws and papooses. The
man who could find out the names of all
the papooses in the tribe is an unborn ge-
Rus. Mr.. Neal was a patient man, with a
job that was improved by patience. for the
more considerate an allotting agent is the
longer the job lasts.
How the Ixickapoos Live.
The rudely thatchel homes of the Kicka-
poos are well worth seeing. The home Of
blind chief Wa-pa-ma-sha is a fair. speci-
men of Kickapoo architecture, as all the
houses are built on the came general plan.
The house proper is of one room, about
1oX2O feet square. The walls are about
eight feet high and the roof is well pitched
The most rabid crank for fresh air could
not object to the amount of ozone that gets
iEto the average Kickapoo cabin as the
walls are nothing but cracks and willow
saplings. After the heavy corner posts,
made from hewn oak trees, are sunk in the
ground. stringers are laid all around and
fastened to the top of the posts with strips
of plant bark. The walls are then made
with willow saplings, which are sunk into
the ground and their tops lashed to the
stringers. The ridge pole lies upon two
notched trees, and long. straight saplings.
as big around as a mans wrist, are laid
closely from the ridge to the stringers.
Then big, broad pieces of bark and river
ruShes are laid on the roof and carefully
fastened down with strips of bark and hide.
In the summer the bark and rushes are
taken from the sides of the building, which
allows the free passage of air. In the mid
ole of the smooth, hard, earthen floor a
shallow hole is scooped FOR the fire, over
tle Around three sides of the room is a
wide table, about four feet from the ground
and about four or five feet wide This is
made of small willow saplings, as big
around as a mans finger fastened TO
stringers, which rest upon notched logs set
in the ground 1t is as springy as mat
tress and serves bed, as storage roora
for saddles and other property, as a table
ard as dog kennel. On i. the brave Kick
apoo ex-warrior and his numerous follow
ing of squaws and wolfish dogs take their
rest on rush mats.
The roof of the kickapoo's house is ex-
tended to the roof of his arbor or summer
house, which always adjoins the house at
the east side, because the door of the Kick
apoo's house always faces the east. The
superstition regarding the western happy
hunting grounds is prevalent among all the
plains Indians. for, they say, out Of the
east comes life and into the west goes
death. The sunrising typifies life and the
Sunsetting death In color The east rep
resented by red meaning life, strength and
war, and the west by black.
