Skirts OF Actresses.

Maggie Mitchell once told a cues
tioning woman that she always wore
divided skirts, although at the time of
this conversation the bifurcated gar
ment was scarcely known outside the
world of the stage. Miss Mitchell said
THAT almost all actresses wore this pet
lticoat because they found that it gave
most freedom of gait and grace to ones
movements. She also said that she had
her skirts trimmed with lace and en-
|broidery, put on wrong side out, and
that this was another notion prevalent

o1ten three strings of jewels, one laid

Sometimes the design is reversed, and
the curves of the pattern are turned to-

the border Each jewel is connected
with the one before it by thread
worked in very narrow stem stitch.
For artistic designs for this kind of

the jeweled designs seen on Coalport

BOXED HIS EARS,
An Insulting Dude Roughly Treated by
u Young Lady.

Young Lady.
There was quite scene at the expo
sition one afternoon, says the st. Louis
Star-Sayings. 1t was all caused by a
pretty and plucky young lady deliber-
ately boxing the jaws Of a gay young
masher. The young lady was Miss Ma
bel Puthoff of 1882 Easton avenue, who
is in the employ Of the Quaker oats dis
play. The young man is unknown. He
wore light-brown overcoat and was,
to all appearances, swell of the first
order. He had light mustache, blue
eyes and carried cane.
The young lady and her sister were
down in the basement taking lunch
when the young swell" passed by and
happened to see the girls. He spoke,
but was unrecognized by the ladies, who
were confident they had never met the
man. After finishing the lunch the
girls returned to their exhibit and were
much surprised when the man put in
his appearance and at once began to
make Overtures as though an acuuan-
lance.
The climax was reached when the
swell" asked the young lady for hair
pin or lust anything to remember you
BY At this Miss Puthoff drew back
her pretty, dimpled hand and let go.
She landed square on the "would-be"
Washers cheek. At this a crowd gath
cred around, but before guard arrived
the man had disappeared. An exposi-
ton detective was detailed to find the
man, but his search proved frutless.

baking Powder Company Wins Its Case In
United States Court.
The decision OF Judge Showalter in q
recent case that came up before him
sustains the claims of the ROYAL com.
pany to the exclusive use of the name
Royal as trade mark for its baking
powder. The special Importance Of
this decision consists in the protection
which IT assures to the millions of con.
snmers of Royal baking powder against
inferior and unwholesome compounds,
The excellence of this article has
caused 1t to be highly esteemed and
largely used almost the world over.
Its high standard of quality having
been always maintained. consumers
have come to rely implicitly upon the
Royal" brand as the most wholesome
and efficient of any in the market. The
cuplbity OF other manufacturers is eX-
cited by tins high reputation and large
demand. Very few of the hundreds of
baking powders on the market are 81 fe
to use. If their makers could sell them
under the name of well known, re-
putable brand incalculable damage
would be done to the public health BY
the deception. The determination OF
the Royal Baking Powder Company to
protect the users of the Royal baking
powder against imitators by rigid
prosecution of them makes such imita-
lions OF its brand extremely rare.

WONDERFUL WHEAT Yields.

The yield of wheat and other grains
IN Manitoba and the other western Ca
nadian provinces this year has been
phenomenal. Thirty-five millions of
bushels OF wheat, thirty millions of
bushels Of oats, six millions of bushels
pr barley, besides large quantities OF
max, rye, peas, etc., have been produced
IN Manitoba by only $4,000 farmers,
some OF whom settled on the prairies

Wray Grayson Of Washington, Pa, con-
tanning an account of a case of tetanus
cured by the anti-toxin treatment, says
the Brooklyn Standard Union. The pa
tient, whom DR.. Grayson designates in
his letter as "B. T" a sturdy boy OF 6ls
years old, son of a civil engineer, and a
resident of Washington, Pa" while
playing in his fathers barn in the early
part of September, stepped on a piece
of rusty wire, which penetrated his
right foot nearly an inch At first the
wound was very painful, but after a
week 1t healed over. Seven days after
ward the boy became i'll. He COM
planned of loss of appetite, stiffness
of his jaws. and cramps in his legs. His
jaws became locked, the muscles of his
face were drawn, his legs grew stiff,
and he suffered such intense agony that
chloroform was administered to relieve
him. The case assumed such an alarm
ing aspect and the agony endured by
the little sufferer was so excruciating
that DR.. Grayson telegraphed to Pasteur
institute for quantity of anti-toXin,
which was sent him at once. The in
lection was administered as soon as the
anti-toXin was received, and within a
few hours its effect was noticed. al
most immediately" writes DR.. Grayson,
the boys commissions became less in
tense and finally ceased. The tension
OF the muscles was relieved. and in a
few days all danger had passed. He is
now pronounced entirely cured" THE
case of Joseph Revere of 80 Metropoli
tan avenue, Brooklyn, who died of te-
tanus on Monday, Oct. 49," said DR..
Gibier, was a test case in no sense.
The disease had progressed SO far that
nothing could have saved the boy. The
cessation of his spasms, which was said
to be sign of convalescence, when un-
accompanied by other favorable symp-
toms, is in almost every case but a sign
OF approaching DEATH"
