SHOT CLOTH FOR WINTER.
Stone. Steel and Dawn Grays for Early
October.

I. is a day of careful color discrimina-
ton when grays are combined we'll.
Grays are peculiar in that they swear
at each other unless well handled, but
properly managed they have a truly
patrician look.
A medium weight of cloth in dawn
gray shot with steel can be made into a
very pretty walking dress. The skirt
should be a full godet, lined with gray
silk and relieved only by large bow
upon the front. The body is Of stone
gray silk, deep and fascinating in tone.
The sleeve puffs are Of the cloth to the
elbow. From there down they fit in that
close embrace found upon all new
sleevs.
Over the entire yoke and sleeve pufrs
lies deep embroidery of dawn gray taf-
fetta silk stitched in a deeper shade of
gray. The hat worn with the costume
is simple little affair in gray felt.
trimmed with flowers. A small, dark,
Chinchilla muff is carried with this dress
to give full note to 1t.
These gray suits are charming lined
with bright silk. Geranium taffeta
makes an exquisite lining; and delft
blue Is not less beautiful. The lining
is an item that should not be neglected If
one can afford the outlay, which, unfor-
tunately, is considerable.

ADJUSTING THE BICYCLE

"People who buy bicycles" observed
q dealer. SHOULD not ride them over
week without having them adjusted.
Once properly adjusted they are all right
until they wear out. Numbers Of good
bicycles are worn out in few weeks
when, IL they were properly adjusted,
they would last a very long time. The
factories which turn them out put them
together rapidly, and especially the
machines sold at auction. They also
get out of adjustment in shipping them,
and wear lop-sided unless looked after.
Any experienced repairer can adjust a
wheel, and 1t great saving in the long
run to have 1t done.
"Of course the wheels which have
agents here are attended to, for all of
them are careful to tell purchasers to
bring them back after a weeks run for
permanent adjustment. The purchasers
Of outside wheels have no such advice,
and 1t Is for them that I speak. An
other thing Is in oiling them. The fac
tories where they turn them out fill all
the bearings and working joints with
vaseline. This excludes the oil that in
experienced riders put into them, and
the result is that they wear out rapidly
because they are not oiled"

NOT A CYCLONE BUT A "rRoMBE"

Was It a cyclone, after all? Such Is the
question which is now occupying the at
tention of our meteorologists, for M.
Faye, a well-known member Of the insti-
tute and the author of q remarkab BILE
work on the theory Of storms, has just
expressed the positive opinion that the
tempest last week was what Is termed
q ''trombe," or disturbance of the water
spout species, and that a serious scien-
tific error has been committed In digni-
flying 1t with the name of cyclone Of
course, "trombe" at this distance from
the briny ocean would not be one of
those highly disagreeable columns Of
water which sometimes rise over the
sea and then descend with awful force
to the imminent peril of any ship WHICH
may happen to be in their vicinity,
though M. Faye defines it as forming III
the clouds like cone upside down. and
as ascending after the point has touched
the ground, to fall again on some other
spot. In this particular case. he says.

SURROUNDED By DANGERS.
Most Perilous Position Of Man-o War
in Time Of Action.

In that coming naval battle between
the steel fleets of two first -class powers
to which nautical authorities have been
looking forward ever since modern bat
tleships became the mighty ensineS Of
problematical forces that they are, the
military mast and fighting top will play
deadly part and be the station Of dam
ger and heroism.
AS everybody knows, the old mast
the mast Of yards and sails. has vanished
from the modern ship of war. The New
ark Is the only modern ship in the United
masts. The place Of the mast which was
erected for sail-carrying purposes Is ta-
ken on the modern warship by a steel
tower, which rises from the eek to sup
port one or maybe three Of four circular
galleries. where rapid fire or mechine
guns are placed, which, In time Of action,
pour their hail Of bullets at the deck and
ports Of the hostile ship.
The object is to kill the gunuers for It
Is self-evident that the most powerful
gun is powerless II its crew is dead. Take
the twenty rapid fire guns distributed
along the superstructure of the Indiana,
From the fighting top such a storm of
lead could be driven upon these great
guns as would make it impossible for
men to work them. Therefore, 1t will be
one OF the first duties of warship to
shoot away with It's heavy guns the mil
itary mast of its adversary.
AS one well-directed shot will send the
mast tumbling, 1t Is not probable that
any ship will come out Of an engagement
with its military mast standing. The
shooting away of the mast will of course
mean the death of every man in the
fighting tops. Men sent there will know
as they climb the dark ladder to their
stations that they go to almost certain
death. and they will have only one duty
before them, to kill as many Of the enc
my as they can before the crash comes.
Men who in turrets and sponsons be-
low are handling the great guns, have
every hope of life and victory before
them, but the men in the tops go to their
duty with no such hopes and expecta.
tions. To man the fighting tops in ac-
ton will be kind Of martyrdom espec-
tally hard to endure.
To perform deeds Of valor in the face
Of contending armies or to suffer with
fortitude in the gaze Of admiring thous-
ands Is one thing: to climb up calmly
inside a steel post and work away at
such an unpoetical mechanical device
as a rapid fire or machine gun until such
time as 1t may please the enemy to blow
one into Kingdom come" is quite an
other thing.
Yet the modern man. of-warsman is
enthusiastic over the advantage of the
military mast, and would obey an order
to man gun in the fighting top as read
lily as he would the bugle call which
summons him to his meals.-New York

Kabob and Green Cakes Form an Epi-
curean Meal For Five Cents.


Margherita Aclina Hamm, clever
writer on the New York Mail and Elk.
press, says that every country has its
own little delicacies, and the British
soldiers who pour into Egypt undoubt-
edly buy from the street hawkers the
green cakes, and possibly the kabobs,
for which the land Of the Nile is ia
nous.
The kabob is broiled meat, bat is
brolled III so ridiculous fashion as TO
be really funny. The peddler uses a lit
tie charcoal furnace, something like
those IN use by our plumbers. In it he
keeps up small but hot fire. Attached
to the side of the furnace is lot of
iron skewers. When customer an
proaches, the hawker takes small niece
OF meat, mutton or goat, the latter being
the most popular, cuts it with sharp
knife into long ribbon, winds it around
the skewer and places it over the char
coal fire. Some of the drippings are col.
lected, and, with little salt or salt and
spice, makes a pleasant sauce for the
kabob when it is done The cooking is
very rapid. What with the heat of the
fire and the thinness of the meat, it is
thoroughly done in two or three minutes.
The green cakes are nothing more or
less than small wheaton cakes mixed
with chopped green leaves of various
kinds salted and baked in a slow oven.
They are pale yellow, yellow gray and
brown1sh gray with irregular splashes
OF green on both the upper and lower
surfaces. They are said to be very nour-
ishing, and they are certainly very an
petizing and palatable when fresh from
the oven. Almost any kind of green leaf
which is used as human food serves for
making a green cake. The humble cab
bage and the aristocratic petit pois vert.
the watermelon rind and the celery
top, the string bean and even the aspar-
agus tip have been used for the purpose.
In addition to the nutritious leaf there
is nearly always a tiavoring leaf. The
commonest is parsley, and after this
comes fennel, fenugreek, sorrel, bay and
laurel.
The green cake of the market varies
from 2 to inches in width, but is rarely
more than quarter of an inch thick.
About one-half are made by bakers and
one-half by the women of the working
classes.
