skirts and waists.

There is a curious "shimmering'' Of
feet in many Of the silks which is very
soft, pretty and becoming A pale yell
low ground, with a pattern q roses, win
have a silvery sheen over the whole
thing, which makes it almost impossible
to tell just what the exact shade Of
color or colors really is. These silks are
now all the rage for the fancy waists,
and also for the full fronts to be worn
with gowns made with jacket effects.
Il is not necessary to have skirts and
waists Of the same silk. For instance, a
fancy silk skirt, in which there is any
N predominating color, can be made
with a silk waist of a plaid color, or
with an all lace waist over the same
color as the skirt. The advantage of this
is that the plain silk waists covered with
lace can be worn with all sorts and va
rieties Of gowns, while the silk waists
which match some ono costume are, gen.
orally speaking, only pretty with that
particular costume. Fancy effects are so
much the order Of the day that it is real-
ly worth while TO make the best Of this
economical fashion when we have it
with us. -Exchange.

I heard long ago Of an enterprising
tradesman who desired b have the Old
Testament at least broken into a series
Of romances. BY others, very likely
much less pious men, no version Of these
narratives can be- tolerated except the
ancient original versions. Yet many
readers or hearers are so familiar with
these, or think themselves so familiar
(they would probably break down under
examination), that something more
spicy" is required by them. / have
read an American novel about the love
affairs of Judas IsOariot and Mary Mag
dalene- It did not interest me, / own,
but it did make me laugh Probably a
more pious student would have been
edited There is no accounting for
tastes. Perhaps no Biblical novel has
ever won critical applause or beon reck-
oned n piece Of literature. But such
novels hit a large class Of readers whose
tastes in other matters is not always
bod
Il would be interesting to know what
the wits and critics Of the restoration
thought and said about 1.-THE Pilgrims
Progress. Probably they never looked
into the cheap little book OF all, the
book which has outlived Etherege and
sedley and Rochester and the rest Of
them. OF course IL does not by any
a follow that every religious novel
read by the people who do read such
things and neglected by critics is on a
level with Bunyan's masterpiece An

Insandesesnt lamp Cleaner.

Many people blame tho central sta
ton for the poor light from their incan-
descent lamps, when the fault is really
their own They allow their lamps to be
dirty. 1t has been shown that one days
accumulation Of dust ON incandescent
bulbs outs off 3 per cent Of the light, so
the result Of o few days neglect can
easily be guessed AS q means of remov-
ing to q great extent the frequent COM
plants Of poorness Of light q central
station recommends the use Of q lamp
cleaner which greatly facilitates the
process Of busting the bulbs. To a 8 foot
handle is attached a strong wire frame
work, which carries a number Of felt
mittens. By forcing the frame over each
lamp and giving the handle a few turns
the dust on the glass is removed, leav-
ing the bulb as clean as when Il left the
factory. Each cleaner is provided with
a set Of rubber friction pads that will,
when suitably placed ON the mittens,
remove and replace burned out lamps.
The handle can be extended so as TO
reach lamps at any distance. This de-
vice makes the cleaning of lamps a very
quick and easy task-St Louis Globe

Tho Ways Wherein ne Dinsrod From

Il is as old as the Proverbs chat ths
cobbler's children are always poorly
shod
The restaurant man goes home for
dinner, and the bartender is q total alb
stainer.
The druggist may patronize the faith

greater luxury than a ride in a buggy.
The street car conductor Is glad TO get o
day of, so he can take a long walk
a more remarkable case than any Of
these is that q tho head usher Mt tho
theater, and ono theater in particular.
Probably every piaygoer in Chicago
knows him. The title Of "head usher
does him an injustice. He Is more like q
host OF the chief Of a reception commit
tee.
There are head ushers who pounce
upon you, grab the coupons, thrust them
back into your fumbled hands and shout,
First aisle TO the righti'
There are other head ushors who tell
you to hurry mp OF step lively. They
give loud warning that all coupons must
be ready.
They shout, Hey, therei'' and are
constantly distracted because Of the i'm
mense responsibility which they imagine
is resting upon them.
As soon as a snippy young man gets
into a box Office or is engaged as an
usher, he begins . imagine that he
owns the house, the company and a good
part Of the frontage ia the block.
But the exceptional head usher IL
calm, polite, attentive and solicitous.
No matter how rapidly the crowd may
pour in, IL seems that every one who
comes receives some courtesy at his
hands,
He doesn't shout or grab and the
small children are not afraid of him.
The most remarkable thing about this
model master Of ceremonies, however,
is that he knows very little about actors
or plays.
The other evening, when tho house
was crowded and the performance was
being received with noisy approval, q
man who came into the foyer between
acts remarked to him, well, it's a
funny show"
IT dare say" he replied; 1.-THE house
seems to like it.
Didn't you see it?'
"No; 1 was out here all the time"
sis that so? Don't you step inside to
see the performances?'
"Oh, no. My duties keep me here. In
the IS years that l have been in this po-
sition I have never seen a performance"
At first the man wouldn't believe it,
but it was a fact just the same.-Chi-

The London Musical Herald tells a
queer story about Jack Wilson'S tomb
in the Little Oloisters at Westminster
abbey. Wilson was Sh~akespeare's tenor.
He was probably the inst to sing "Sigh
No More, Ladies, " and he died at the
age of 70, in 1878. The inscription ON
his tomb at the abbey was much oblit-
Grated, and under the direction Of an
antiquary a man was employed to recut
the letters The antiquary stood looking
over him, so that he should make no
mistake, and to make the time go pleas
antly he expatiated at great length to
the workman upon the grandeur and
merits Of the deceased. The man even
tually stopped his work, and looking up
at the antiquary said, II wish, sir, we
had known that be was such a swell be-
