The Valuable Black Frock.

No woman who studies the art of
dress undertakes the black gown. And
yet how few wear it with discretion!
Black becomes fair hair and bright
complexion. The darker woman must
relieve it with touches of vivid color. A
new model for the handsome black gown
which no gentleman's library-that is
to say, no woman's wardrobe-is sup
posed to be without is of black velvet
stlffened just bit with crinoline In
side the skirt, for beapty's sake and
that same joy all women have in dainty
underwear, there should be a pinked,
out fri! Of black silk, and the skirt it
self should be wide enough to have the
seasons sweep of dignity. We don't
cling, you know, this winter We stand
on our dignity. There's subtle connec-
ton between wide skirts and the broid-
cred with jet in quite an open pattern.
For bodice blouse is very effective
and may be of black and white or red
and black checked silk or of stripe of
black and white or black and amber.
To wear this same velvet skirt OF an
evening you need only substitute pink
Or white chiffon bodice with your ia
vorite flowers. philadelphia Times.

A Most Wonderful Human Being.

NJ do Quatrefages, the French nat
uralist, reports the scientific exanlina-
ton Of ono Of the most remarkable hu
man CuriositiCs Cr InOnStrOsities known.
The person III question is Simeon Nj
guire, who lives III one of the French
provincial towns and who has control
over his body to such remarkable de-
gree that reports concerning his duings
were all discredited up to the time Of
the Quatrefages investigation. 1t was
found, as had been reported, that All
guiro was not Cnly an adept III tho arts
of the cOntortiOnist, but that be could
through his peculiar system of muscles
and nerves. instantly cause his flesh to
appear as if it had been transformed in
to solid stone When in this peculiar
condition, his flesh could be Hruck with
Is cane or with q metal instrument,
whereupon it would give off q ringing
sound, as though the blows had fallen
upon marble statue. Assuming diff
ferent attitude, he would throw his in
testines forward and appear as one
hideously deformed, and the next mo-
ment he could draw them up into the
thorax and appear as living skeleton.
His statue pose and contortions were
wonderful indeed, but what most aston
ished the Investigators waa Aiguire's
ability to control the circulation of his
blood This he did to the satisfaction
of all present by first stopping all circu-
lation on one side of his body and then
on the other. This he effected by mus
cular contraction. st. Louis Republic.

A BOOMING YOUNG CITY.

Not everybody knows that a
booming young city is coming to
the front out forty miles north of
Texarkana, on the Texarkana & Ft.
Smith railroad, but it is a fact new
erthless.
Winthrop is the name of this city,
and, in view If its fine location, at
the soon-to-be terminus of one rail-
road, and the principal inland town
on another, its fame is not surpris-
ing, The Texarkana & Fort Smith
road will soon be completed to it,
and branch railroad will be built
out to Rocky Comfort. This will
give it two railroads.
Winthrop is located on beauti-
full, high plateau, midway between
the Red and Little rivers, with no
city of consequence nearer than
Texarkana, and being only six
miles from the Indian Territory,
may hope for big trade from this
fertile region.
A splendid opportunity is now
afforded investors, as well as per-
sons seeking desirable location for
for new home. The following
persons have bought lots, within
the past few days: N, Fl. Bales

Her Conclusion.

She was small girl, but quite large
enough to reason and draw logical con-
illusions. In her fathers back yard a
swarm of bees was kept, and they seemed
especially hostile to the small girl. One
day they stung her over the eye, and
there was swollen little face for a
whole week. The next week they stung
her on the arm, and finally her cup Of
sorrow seemed filled when she received
another sting on her leg. As the mother
patiently applied the usual remedies to
the last wound the little one sighed and
said, 1T does seem to me, mamma, as
II there was no good place on little
girl for bee to sting. Syracuse Post.
