and black striped silk figured with for get-me-nots in blue and pink and yei- low This bit of daintiness is edged with foam of frills in silver and black chiffon, with ripping neck ruche of blue chiffon and a big fastening bow of silver satin. The dressmal1er whispers below her breath that the owner of this triumph of art is Mrs. Perry Tiffany.
 To crown the costume is a tiny tiara bonnet ef cut steel and brilliants made soft to the head by nest of black chif- ion. Blue chiffon rosettes are perehed one over each ear.
 An all black costume just completed for a blond of dazzling coloring is a black glace silk with one of those whirl- ing designs which suggest idealzed bicycle wheels. The skirt has broad band of plain satin at the hem. The bodice is made with a sleeveless coat which is the acme of smartness, with its short, full basque held out at the back by a yoluminous frill of plaited silk, while a great triple collar of plain glace silk frilled and lilted falls over the shoulders. The sleeves are slightly fulled at the top, as yet unfaded affec ton for the fallen, rare in the annals oi fashion, still permits them to be. From the shoulders they are tight to the wrists, where their career ends in a tiny plaited frill
 The only touch of color in this toilet is contributed by toque of yellow and xpt Ia .l,s !, pale, straw-colored paradise bird plumes.
 Simpler than these dresses, but cer- tain to attract equal attention, is a fine cloth costume made for the owner of one of the handsomest hunters ever seen ill Manhattan's environs. It is of dark, beautiful shade of blue with n band of silk embroidery sewn with gold and outlined with vivid green border ing the skirt, circling the waist and trimming the odd little bolero bodice which has an abundance of small gold buttons and loops for its further enrich ing. The collar and yoke are of white satin and old lace, and the elbow sleeves are of green silk, covered with blue ac- cordion-plaited chiffon. Perhaps, after all, this is not simpler than the arrange menfs in black. It is at all events con vincing exponent of the charms of the blue and green combination. especially when tiara toque is added, of gold fiIi- gree and jewels, surrounded by blue tulle. and backed with high circle of iris flags and flowers

THE AFTERNOON NAP.
1t Aids the Digestion of the Monday

1t Aids the Digestion of the Monday
 Meal.
 The frequency with which medical men are asked whether it is harmful to indulge in the "afternoon nap is not, perhaps, surprising, for several reasons. Most persons have had experience of the seductive charms of the somnolenae which has followed the comfortable in gestion of a midday or evening meal The meal finished. the diner arranges himself comfortably in an armchair; it may be he hghts pipe or cigar, takes Ap newspaper, and prepares to make the most of the restful conditions of his mind and body. But nature soon begins to assert her sway. In time, the eyelids close, the head begins to nod, the news paper falls from the hands, the pipe, no longer supported in the mouth, falls to the floor, and the symptoms of nap are complete. Whether the ''winks' be 49 or 100 in number the result is th,' same-a short, sound sleep. Then comes the question: Is it harmful thus to fall asleep after a meal? By no means; for the very obvious reason that the process is merely a physiological one, and as such, when it occurs, is quite natural. When digestion is in progress, nature has arranged that all the ayai- able blood in the body shall be collected Tn and about the digestive organs. Con- sequently, the blood supply to the brain falls to low ebb, and thus sleep is easily induced. On the other hand, os tourse, physiologically, it is wrong for train work to be attempted immediate ly after a solid meal.-Medical Press.

ELECTRIC STROKE.
It Affects Workmen as Does Fierce Sun
 Heat.

It Affects Workmen as Does Fierce Sun
 Heat.
 One of the most extraordinary modern diseases is a peculiar affection, most aptly termed electric stroke, which not infrequently befalls workmen employed in melting metals by means of elec- tricity. It appears from observations made at the great steel and iron works at Creuzot, that the intense Yoltaic arc between the carbon and the metal to be melted emits rays which, even at dis tance of ten meters, produce a painful, hot, pricking sensation, like that of a burn, on such uncovered portions of the body as the throat, face and, more especially, the forehead.
 The skin of the parts affected becomes either copper colored or assumes a bronze hue; the eyes, in spite of black glasses, are so intensely dazzled as to be useless for some minutes, after which Xanthopsia (yellow vision) sets in. everything appearing saffron colored. the conjunctiye are inflamed, and there is gritty feeling, as of sand under the eyelids. There is frequently great pain, accompanied often by sleeplessness, and, in some instances, fever.
 After few days these symptoms sub side, the skin of the affected parts peels, and the patient is restored to health.
 Now, the remarkable thing about all this is that very little heat is radiated from the electric are used; all the trouble arises from the light rays, and although it has not yet been experi- mentally proved, there can be little doubt that the blue and violet, that is. the chemical, rays are to blame.-Boston Journal.

I just reckon you ain't got anything worse in Arizony, lieutenant. There was no water fit to drink for plum 200 miles, but that makes no differ ence to the government. The general he looks at his map and he says: Order Col. Banl1head to proceed from Death head creek to Pizen valley, an do hit quick an colonel being a good soldier hits leather an says: Come, boysi
 You see there was a small garrison up there at Cheyenne wells a needin' our aid and needin' it right bad. So we let out another link and pinted their way. The water was punishin.'

 "Oh! captain!" I shouted.
 He turned gravely toward me.
 "Yes, sir-certainly, sir! Shake like blanket when yer dipped it up. Of co'se we billed it and rebiled 1t, and skinned it like yer would suet ant thiekened it with coffee-but we had to drink hit at last. Hit were skunk at the beginnin' and skunk at the end

Their tongues lolled out so they couldn't cuss, but they could sure shoot an ii wouldn't do to monkey with their feel ings. No, indeed, maam. You know how those things go, lieutenant. There is line where discipline stops"
 The lieutenant said he understood, and the young wife looked at him with big blue eyes. This soldiers life!
 Well, now, John,' said the colonel, you ride on and pull in good hour ahead of us. and tell the commanding officer to have every damn thing that will hold water filled up, for these boys are sure goin' to stampede when they smell water, and ride like hell a-swarm- in and I can't control lem. They'll climb over each other like drove of buffalo,
 CT understand, colonel' I says, and then pulled out across the sand. My life and soul But 1t was hot Some thing like it is right here, lady, only worse.

TaIlest Spar in the Old World.

The great flagstaff in the Arboretum at Kew is one of the most conspicuous landmarks of the neighborhood. It is the second of the two spars which were presented to the royal gardens by Mir. Edward Stamp, of the firm of Messrs. Anderson, Anderson & Go. The first was from British Columbia, and was 11S feet in length. It was broken in the course of erection in 1859. The ex- isting spar came from Vancouver's island, and is 159 feet in length. It was erected ill 1861, and is believed to be the tallest spar in the old world. The age of the tree from which it was cut was about 250 years, and it's total height 1S0 feet. The base had gradually become decayed, and on examination if was pronounced by the admiralty to be unsafe. Messrs. Robinson d2 Dodd. contractors to her majesty's Indian government of bridge road works. Poplar, successfully lowered it, re- moved the decayed base, and spliced on a new one of pitch pine. The splice is held together by five iron bands. The spar was then eerected.-We Westminster Gazette.

BELTS AND POUCHES.
women's Pockets Are DeIusions an

 Shares.
 A woman's pocket is usually snare and a delusion, hard to reach and hold ing little; so after many experiments she has wisely returned to her trusty hand or side bag. This has given the trade in Dutch, French and Italian sil- yer bag clasps a boom, and genuine examples of this ancient metal work are more difficult to secure and more costly than ever.
 Of course they make them in imita- tions, quite as beautiful and equally as servieeable, but the heart of every woman is just now yearningly bent on not only wearing a side bag, but sus- pending this, along with two or three other things, from a genuine Nor wegian belt.
 The belt is silver, in linked fiat pieces of the size of dollar and wonderful ly worked. At one point silver piece is replaced by a stout ring, into which the side bag is hooked together with at least three conveniences of life-a pair of scissors. yinaigrette and a watch, for instance. Each one of them fits into a case made of material to match the bag and finished with silver around the corners.
