A New Flying Machine

New York Herald.
Mr.. Percy S. Pitcher, lecturer on
marine engineering at Glasgow
University, basing his inventions
upon that of Herr Lilienthal, has
produced two winged creations, and
by their aid has taken sundry flights
in midair, says the London Black
and White. At times he has risen to
an altitude OF twenty feet, occasion
ally lowered kite-like for space and
then descended on the spot he LETT,
while upon other trials he has
FASTENED before the bre, re for con-
siderable distances ere Fegaining his

Mr.. Pilcher's machines are light
structures of wood and steel sup
porting a vast spread of wing and
braced with piano wire. The wings
themselves, which are made OF nain-
soon-a sort of muslin originally
manufactured in India-have an area
of one hundred and fifty square feet;
and each machine possesses a verti-
cal and a horizontal rudder OF circu-
lar shape, the one cutting the other
at right angles. The former, which
is rigid, serves to keep the machines
head to wind, while the latter arrests
an inclination to pitch sideways-a
common vice in all like Inventions.

At each side Of the front, exactly as if

Just across the front between the roses

crown is a band of pink velvet thickly
studded with rhinestones. At the back,
just in the center, is high bunch of
the leaves of the lily of the valley, while
two small rosettes of these dainty flow
ers are at each side of this leaf aigret,
but pressed closely to it and quite short
stemmed. The ties are of pink velvet
ribbon, and may or may not be retained,
Or the conventional black velvet may be
substituted, as is most becoming.

Repairing Furniture.

In repairing broken furniture the mis-
take usually made is using too much
glue. Now, contrary to the popular opin
ion, the less glue used the stronger will
be the joint. Heat the parts to be joined,
after seeing that the joint is perfect,
apply the glue sparingly, but SO as to
evenly cover every part, bring the pieces
together and rub one past the other. a
few times. When they thoroughly adj
here, leave in that condition, and when
possible bind together by strong Irvine
or a handscrew until the glue has en-
tirely set. When there is too much glue
on joint, it can never be strong.

mits the placing of delicate face trim
ming and really gives but that sugges-
ton of a brim that is always pretty in
a bonnet. The capote shapes, which are
always in fashion, are developed in vel
vet and satin, the material being laid
softly over the frame, and, while suffi-
GENTLY full, still the air of heavy drap-
ing is avoided. Capotes Of golden brown
satin are decorated with butterfly wings
of butter colored lace and having a rath-
er high but full bunch of velvet black
eyed Susans.
French mil1iners invariably put ties
in their bonnets. In many instances
they are removed, but women of good
taste realize that smart air is given
by these ties, as they invariably, if one
is skillful in arranging them, add to
any virtues and tone down any imper-
fections Of the face.
The Dutch bonnet will be worn, but
the rosette effect SO much liked last sea-
son will give place to high trimming,
not unlike a pompon, at the back. Jets
and spang1es of all kinds for outlining
are in vogue, and for evening bonnets
crowns richly embroidered in beads and
spangles are shown. Jet tiaras are liked
on all black bonnets, but as the abso-
lutte round crown is the shape chosen it
must be confessed that it is rather try
ing. Smaller tiaras in rhinestones are
shown for evening bonnets, and by the
French milliners are put upon white or
very pale gray velvet
Mistakes are frequently made by anna
teurs in not shaping frames to suit the
head, and so the bonnet, being either
too large or too small, will produce a
grotesque effect greatly to be dreaded.
Care must be shown, too, in the ar
rangement of outstanding feathers.
Flowers as we'll as feathers appear on
the winter bonnets, but in making a
choice one must consider exactly what
wear will be given to the bonnet and
whether bright hued blossoms will har-
monize with the hour and the toilet. The
style of couture has much to do with
the arrangement of the bonnet on the
head. If the hair is parted, the bonnet
is placed little farther back than it is
if either a pompadour or bang is worn.
Flower rosettes are made of tiny
rosebuds and of violets
Black and white is liked in quiet styl
ish chapeaux, and as black velvet will
be greatly in vogue both for wraps and
costumes the popularity of this contrast
is certain, and its adoption by well bred
women assured, according to The La

Chicken Salad.

Mince the chicken meat, but not so
fine as to make it pasty. Then chop the
white part of sufficient celery, and make
dressing as follows: Rub smooth the
yolks of Q hard boiled eggs; to each
yolk You put teaspoonful of mixed
mustard, half as much salt, raw
eggs, wineglassful of strong vinegar
and tablespoonful of olive oil Put the
celery in salad bowl, lay on it the
minced chicken. and over that pour the
dressing. Lettuce cut fine may be used
in place of the celery. The whites of the
hard boiled eggs should be cut in rings
and used as garnish.

A bride should acknowledge we'd
ding gifts as soon as she received
and not wait till after the wedding,
unless the gifts arrive too late to be
acknowledged before.
An invitation to garden party
requires an after call, whether the
person invited attends or not. The
call should be made inside a month
A small informal at home does not
require an after call, but large and
formal affair does.
For an afternoon wedding in the
fall a simple menu would be bouillon
or cOnsomme in cups, cold salmon
with mayonnaise dressing, thin
buttered sandwiches, creamed sweet
breads, chicken croguettes and salad I,
cake, ices, fruits, coffee, punch.
At an afternoon summer wedding
the groom should wear a black trock
coat, light trousers, black cloth or
white duck waistcoat and white tie
A Tuxedo coat is supposed to be
worn in the evening at home or in
making informal calls, and in the
summer and otherwise only on
occasions when ladies are not pres
ent. At the theater, unless ladies are
of the party, a Tuxedo coat is proper.
At the reception at the brides
house after the wedding the maid OF
honor stands by the bride and helps
receive, even though the is but a
young school girl, not yet out. The
brides parents also stand in the
line. Tee parents OF the groom,
however, do not receive. They
stand in some conspicuous place
where they can be sen and con
graduated blythe guests, or if they
are strangers they are introduced
by the brides family.

In the first place, copperas is cheap

garbage pail or wherever needed. 1t

ly as so pounds for 81 in some places.
Dissolve in pail kept for the purpose
with boiling water) and pour down
the sink or wherever needed. The cop
peras will leave an iron rust stain on
whatever it touches, SO it needs careful
handling. If you have any ratholes in
the cellar just place some copperas dry
around them, and you will find the rats
will leave. 1t burns their feet.

COLUMN OF CRAZY CHINA work was a pill
larlike stand having for its foundation
round tile and christened by the artist
column of crazy china. The materials
consist of broken bits of crockery and
china, much putty, gold paint, and, if
not a drain pipe, any Thing else you like
to ornament. Besides these you will need
a mallet or a small hammer to break
the already broken pieces, if they prove
too big, and a proper putty, or even
palette knife, to spread the putty and
prepare it for the mosaic of china. 1t is
fortunate, for this purpose, that our
servants are generally great destroyers
of the material chiefly needed, and any
household can furnish only too much
from it's own breakages.
Another phase of the crazy scrap ma
MIA includes materials various and pecul-
lar and varying from broken bottles to
old keys and from half a walnut shell
to old thimbles, buckles, etc. A novelty

RAILWAY RUMBLES.

form jumping on or of pilots, as the prac-
tice is dangerous one.
Owing to the many accidents to persons
riding on them, the roof seats on the cars
used in the suburban trains of the Paris
railroads are to be suppressed.
A novelty in the return ticket difficulty
has been introduced by the South London
Electric railway. The usual reduction as
compared with single fares is maintained,
but the return half of the ticket is disable
at any time.
In Paris the tramway companies have

your number is called out, and you take
your seat quietly without having to do
battle for it with your neighbors.
