How 70 Nake an Inexpensive cnrnent
for Summer Wear.
Nothing makes cooler, fresher
looking waist than the wash silks
which come in all manner Of delicate
stripes at very moderate price. Five
Yards should not cost much. All else
you need buy is a cheap plain corset
cover-one coming high in the neck
and net too big in the armhole. That IS
your foundation.
To make the waist, cut three lengths
Of silk long enough 10 reach from the
junction Of neck and shoulder to well
below the belt. Sew them together,
then double them along the middle Of
the center breadth and cut them to
the shape of the diagram given here
with. Now sew up the shoulder seams,
making them either with a bag seam
like the corset cover, or binding them
neatly with morrow white binding. Put
the narrowest possible bias facing
about the neck, leaving il so that you
can run fine drawing string through
it.
Finish the bottom with case for a
similar drawing string. Then for
sleeves take breadth and half for
each. Leave the selvage plain and
straight, but ro',nd the tops so as to
set well over the shoulder and hollow
them slightly under the arm. At the
bottom put on two cases, or else run
narrow tuclIs for draw strings. Then
gather them at top and sew to the silk
armhole, covering the seam with bind
ing tape.
Next, with strong thread, baste the
silk armholes to those of the corset
cover. Do not let the stitches show
upon the upper side and fasten oil
firmly. Then run the narrowest white
tame into all the cases-at the neck, the
bottom of the waist and the wrists.
Put on the corset cover, button it up
and draw the outside to fit, arranging
the fullness as is most becoming to
your figure.
Pin it in place; then when you have
taken off the garment put firm basting
stitches in place of the pins.
For the wrists it is only necessary TO
draw up and tie the strings, and your
longer time than it takes to tell about
it. OF course you can add stock col
lar Of ribbon, or wear any of the hun
dred frills and ribbons now in vogue.
You can tie ribbon wristlets, too
make the whole as ornate as you please.
But that is an inessential thing.
What is of much greater importance is
that such a waist can be washed and
kept clean and fresh if you only have
command of washbasin. For when
It is soiled you only have to unpiek the
hastings about the neck and armhole
pull out the draw strings and wash lin
ing and outside separately. Use for
the silk good white soap and do not
rub it. on the fabric, but make a good
suds. Wash quickly through that
rinse twice in water of the same tenn
perature.
Do not wiring, but fold smoothly in
side clean towel. Then squeeze as
dry as possible, shake out and hang
in the shade to dry If you can manage
to stretch it out over bit Of lath sus-
pended like a coat hanger there will be
hardly wrinkle in 1t. Replace the
strings and put it over the lining as
before-of course, after the lining has
been likewise purified. Two such
waists, or at the most three, will take
you safe through the hot summer
months. and much more than save their
cost In laundry bills. to say nothing OF
their superior comfort.-San Francis
co Chronicle.

It Il In No way Related to the Ger
anan.
I utterly fail to see where English
men have received the impression that
the Hungarian language is sort Of
underlino dialect of German, says
writer IN Nineteenth Century. Ger
man and English, as is wen known,
are Aryan languages. Hungarian IS no
Arvan Language at all It's very char
actcr is opposed 10 that OF the German
idiom. II German or English may
fairly be compared to tree, the
branches and fruits of which are in
deed visible. the roots Of which, how
ever, are underground and hiddenaway,
the Hungarian language g like tree
the roots OF which are almost visible,
and lev kind of linguistic Hoentgen
photography we can almost watch the
SAP Of the roots rising into the stem
and branches. It is, in other words,
Ogglutinative.
The first syllable Of each word repre-
sents the root of the word; lenses or
pronouns are soldered on TO the root.
II is originally the language Of nomad
and rowing tribes anxiousiy clinging to
their word roots for fear Of losing all
means of understanding one another.
OF German words in Hungarian there
is only a handful, and they are used
mostly as clowns and jesimalers in
the courtly avenues Of Hungarian SEN
fences. The Hunsarians do not detest
the Germans, but they do not like them
either. The German, known to the
Alagyars chiefly in his Austrian mani
festation, does not appear model
worth initiating The Austrian is Po-
lite, amiable, industrious, but, before
anything else, pleasure-loving.

She was 4 new recruit in the Salvation

she herself said, but worth more than
lots of the white trash floating around,
and as full of zeal and holy fire as if she
had been "a major general for years.
She rose the other night in barracks
to give her experience. The soldiers
were on tiptoe with expectation. They
did not know how the lady would ac-

hall But they were not left long in

He had Just returned from Manches-

gent business. The honeymoon was
scarcely over, and, besides, it was his
first absence from her side since they
were made one. The three days Of his
absence seemed to both like three long

she was in his arms once more. Prom
Use after promise had been renewed
and vows of eternal fidelity exchanged.
"And you will never drink" she
murmured.

"And you will never gamble, either,

Precious, I have never gambled."
"And you will never, never use to-

"Never. never again, my dear, since

And she believed him in her wom-

But he mentioned ms pOrtmanteau,
and a little struggle ensued. He would

No, no; he was tired; she would get it.
No, no
But yes, yes. Was she going to let
him walk across the room for a nasty
old portmanteau, and he was so tired
How could he think her so cruel? No,
indeerl She would go and get it her
self, and open it for him, too, and so
there.

At the international feminist" con-
gress which was held in Paris last
month Nine. Marin PogOn was proposed
rs president. whereupon Nine. Leonie
Rouzade rose and said that there were
some lady doctors present who should
have precedence over the mistress of o
clearinghouse. That made trouble
and Nine. Rouzade was so sore beset
that she arose again, and exclaimed:
DO not insult me; my husband is
here, and he is member of a municipal
council" This appeal to the tyrant
man utterly scandalized the delegates,
and an uproar ensued, which is said to
have had a disastrous effect upon the
nerves of the audience.

Rapid Increase Of Population In Germany
Need OF an Outlet.

Rapid Increase OF Population In Germany
Need OF an Outlet
The rapid Increase of population in
Germany, due. it Is believed, to the in
crease Of manufactures, is becoming of
political Importance, says the Specta-
tor. According to the corrected return
of the census, taken on December ?,
1895, the empire now contains 52,244,-
sos inhabitants, while France contains
only s9,00O,O 900. The Germans, more
over, add at least 100000 to their
number every ten years, while the
French may be said not to increase at
all. As both countries train every
available nam, the German army must
always be greater than the French, and
In another generation win be greater
by more than third. Again, it is
doubtful whether Germany, which is
naturally far poorer country than
France, can long sustain its population,
which must, therefore, either emigrate
IN increasing numbers or burst out in
some direction into lands less over
full. II ia believed to be a clear per-
oeption Of these facts which makes some
ruling men In Germany SO eager for a
dependency into which Germans
might swarm. They would not swarm
even If they got one. The idea Of the
German emigrant is to escape official
dom, not to replace himself under it in
"A country beyond the seas.

GAME BUTCHERS. WORK.

WantOn Slaughter by Hunters in the
jackson Hole. Country.
The American Field jumps upon the
foreigners who come to the United
States, seek out those localities where
most of the big game is TO be found,
and then lay themselves down to the
work of Strengthening it with rifles. A
favorite resort of these game butchers
is the Teton Basin. Here are found elk,
deer and antelope, which are being
killed off rapidly. The Teton Basin.
Jackson's Hole, is much lower than the
National Yellowstone park, and much
of the big game migrates south to it,
as warmer climate is to be found IN
the valley. 1t is here that the hunters
from abroad congregate, and in spite
of the Wyoming state laws kill game
wantonly. If these men would kill a
couple of heads of each kind, taking
care of the meat, and following up
wounded game, little or no objection
would be made.
These hunters, some of whom are
Americans, pass through the national
park on their way home with wagon
loads of skins and horns. The law IN
relation to transporting game reads
that possession within ths park of the
dead bodies or any part thereof of any
wild bird or animal shall be prima facie
evidence that the person or persons
having the same are guilty of violating
this act" With this act behind him
the superintendent could squelch the
wholesale slaughterers of game in the
region of the Yellowstone park. Capt.
Anderson, the superintendent, is urged
to make an effort to enforce the law.
What would be better yet would be the
annexation of the Jackson's Hole coun-
try to the Yellowstone park.

How to
Live a
Centurys&s&

In an address on old age,
recently published in the Brit
ISL Medical Journal, Sir James
Crichton Browne, MD, LID,
says: "Man is entitled to
live one hundred years. "
Many men have lived a CEN
tury and not one Of them has
ever committed suicide. Note
that fact. 1t is a simple ques-
ton of wear and repair. Acct
dents excepted, a human life
is measured by the body's
power to build itself up as fast
as use tears it down. In health
this is done.
But disease attacks it. APP
petite and digestion fail;
strength declines flesh melts
like snow. What can stop the
wasting and replace the loss ?

Polk Miller,s Lecture.

The Merrill! Institute was filled to it's utmost capacity last night bg an audience composed of our best cfti- zens to hear the famous lecturer, Polk Miller. on the subject of the old time southern negro. For over two hours he kept his hearers ill para oxysn of laughter, with an occa- sional tear as he dropped the humor- ous side of his subject for d few mo- ments and presented the pathetic. Mr. Miller pictures life on the old plantation; the old southern imam my, the neishborhood fddlers and banjo players, Their songs, dances, dialect stories, etc. were all as true to life as photographs and came di- rect from the heart of the speaker, 8 southern gentleman, raised on a plantation near Petersburgh, Mir ginia, and speaking very largely from his own experience and observ- ation. To the young people and to those raised in the north Mr. Miller's lecture was a reyaletion; to the southern people of fifty years and more it was tendermemory of days and scenes long past and never to return. Those who failed to hear it missed an event in their lives.
