HINTS OF COMING MODES.
Autumnal Fashions Which Cast Their
Shadows Before-Tight Sleeves
Coming In Style.

One of the most effective silks possible
for an odd waist, or even for a whole gown,
is gloria silk. Sapphire-blue trimmed with
white point d'applique or Battenberg lace
is particularly effective.
The craze for sun pleating has changed
from skirts to bodies. The former were so
expensive that they were...out of the reach
of many.
For her dressiest toilette the stylish
woman seeks eccentricity ii out and ex-
travagance in trimming; elaboration is a
notable feature of this su1s&sB gowns.
Never was there such prodigality of
trimming used on wash gowns or those Of
diaphanous texture as there is year. Yards
aand yards Of lace, bolts of ribbon and
fancy ruflling are used on one gown.
A favorite skirt garniture is made by
arranging tiny rutfles in clusters of three
from the edge to the knee, and if the short
ening effect is becoming, all the way to the
waist. Another fashion is to stimulate n
pointed, round overskirt with three little
rutiles, II the ruches, one Of this seasons
novelties are preferred they are quite as
much used as rutiles; only for the latter
style they are rather more bunchy.
Dame Fashion gives as her earliest wills
per about fall that plain fabrics will be the
thing, and that figured materials will he
non est.
Another forehint Of the coming autumn
STYLES is that the sleeves will be tight, with
little or no expansion at the top. The most
conservative women may at first strive to
mitigate the severe effect by series of little
Vaudyke caps or slight draperies, but the
extreme will be the thing.
Modified stocks and collars are still an
other feature that will he noticeable on the

And the Sum Went

Two soldiers lay OH the battlefield
At night when the sun went down
One held lock of thin gray hair
And one held lock of brown
One thought of his sweetheart back at home
Happy and young and gay,
And one tlu&yrt Of his mother left alone,
Feeble and old and gray.
Each in the thought that woman cared,
Murmured prayer to God,
Lifting his gaze to the blue above,
There OH the battle sod.
Each in the JOY of woman's love
Smiled through the pain OF death,
Murmured the sound of womans name,
Though with his parting breath.
Pale grew the dying lips of each,
Then, as the sun went down,
One kissed a lock OF thin gray hair
And one kissed a lock of brown

EORGET.

When that the spring
Doth fail to bring
The JOY you thought
1t really ought;
When softer air
And flowers fair,
The springing grass
And clouds that pass
To leave again
On hill and plain
The splendor rolled
OF sunlight's gold
Give you no thrill
OF joy nor fill
Your soul anew
With heavens dew
OF springing hope;
When gentle slope
Ana loWly vale
With blossoms pale
Still lack the charm
That could disarm
LIES last regret;
When rise and set
OF circling sun,
Earth new-begun
Bring nanght OF peace
Or joys increase
In circling whirl-

Dominos In a Lions Cage.

A game of dominos in lions cage
was the novelty recently offered to the
bewildered gaze of the visitors to a
menagerie. The players were the
tanner" and worthy citizen who, on
the strength Of bet, had entered the
habitation of the king of beasts. Seated
quietly at a table which had been
brought in for the purpose, the pair got
on very well for time, the lion watch
ing their movements apparently with
intelligent attention. He seemed, how
ever, to arrive at the conclusion that
the game was poor business, after all,
for instead Of allowing the two men to
finish 1t in peace he suddenly made a
dash at the table and sent 1t spinning
with the dominos in wild confusion
into the air, much to the horror of the
onlookers, who feared that shocking
catastrophe was impending.
The amateur, however, was not slow
in taking the hint On the contrary, he
lost not moment in boiling out of the
cage, and the relief was general when
he succeeded in putting the bars be-
tween himself and the demolisher of the
table. The lion appeared to be very
magnanimous creature, for during the
next performance he allowed friend
of the fugitive domino player to pay
him visit and actually condescended
to accept from him piece of meat pre-
sented as propitiatory offering. AS,
after doing justice to the morsel, he be-
gan to regard the intruder with wistful
eyes, and by other signs and tokens to
manifest an inclination to make closer
acquaintance with him, the tanner
promptly interviewed and another strate-
gic movement to the rear was executed,
fortunately with success. Paris Letter

A pretty story Of how Henry M. Stan
ley wooed and won Miss Dorothy Ten
nant, though coming to us from private
sources, has been made sufficiently pub
lilo to avert the charge of undue person
atty. Miss Tenant, it is well known,
was the original Of Sir John Millais'
famous picture, Eyes or Mop It seems
that Stanley had asked the question,
and the reply was "No"
The great explorer went to Africa
again, and after several years returned
to London, to find himself the most talk
ed of man Of the day.
The thought of Miss Tenant was
still uppermost in his mind, and he
resolved that his first visit should be to
her home. In his impatience for the
morrow he turned over the cards and
notes with which the table was strewn,
and selecting one haphazard decided to
while away the time by attending GER
tain reception.
The first person he met there was
Miss Tenant They greeted each other
formally, but later In the evening Stan
ley retired to small anteroom, to find
that Miss Tenant had likewise sought
solitude. A somewhat embarrassing 81
lence ensued, broken at last by the
woman saying, with the manner Of
one making conversation"

Mr.. Stanley?''
No. haven t found London changed,
and I've not changed either returned
the explorer, with his usual intrepid
ity. Have your"
Yes, I've changed, :" answered Miss
Tenant softly.
A few days later Millais received
note from his former subject, beginning:

Though the greatest and most re-
markable phenomenon pertaining to the
surface of the sea is the tidal wave, sci
entifc authorities acknowledge that it
still presents some unexplainable anom-
allies. 1t is demonstrated, however, that
the movement is made up of many
waves dependent upan different funo-
lions of the moon and sun, some being
semidiurnal, some diurna1. The time of
transit over the meridian and the decli-
nation of both bodies create great vari-
ations. The changing distance and posi-
tion Of the moon and the position Of
her node also have Immense effect,
while the ever varying direction and
force Of the winds and the different
pressure of the atmosphere play their
part. An interesting fact in this rela-
tion Is that observations all over the
world show no place where the tidal
movement is SO regular and simple as
around the British islands, fact more
remarkable when it is known that the
tides on the other side of the Atlantic,
as, for instance, at Nova Scotia, are
very complicated, the unexplainable
case here being that the minor tides,
which in most parts Of the world, when
combined in one direction, amount to a
very considerable fraction of the prin-
cipal lunar and solar tides, and conse-
quently greatly increase or diminish
their effects, are in Great Britain so in
significant that their influence is tri-
fling. New York Sun.

negro dialect in story he was prepar-

that 1t would be good idea to study

Such an example of pure and unde-

expected source almost paralyzed the
professor, who muttered something
about the "degeneraoy of the modern

suit the works of Uncle Remus," he

The youthful Kaiser and Mr.. rr,.n


Although Professor Knackfuss is usu-
ally credited with assisting the kaiser
in the production of his surprising pic
lures, the German monarch owes his
earliest introduction to the mysteries
of art to an English painter The first
time the kaiser handled brush was at
Windsor, when Mr. Firth was painting
the picture of the Prince of Wales mar
riage for the queen. All the royal per
sonages gave sittings to the artist, and
the kaiser, then a little 4-year- old
prince, spent several mornings in the
room where the picture was being paint
ed. To keep the child quiet, Mr.. Firth
gave him some paints and brushes and
allowed him to dabble on one Of the
unfinished corners of the canvas.
As the natural result Of this very In
judicious proceeding the princes face
was in very few minutes covered with
streaks Of green, blue and vermilion.
The sight Of his smeared face terrified
his governess, who begged the artist to
remove the colors, and Mr.. Firth, arm
ed with rags and turpentine, had nearly
completed his task when the pungent
spirit found its way into scratch upon
the child's cheek The future kaiser
screamed with pain, assaulted the emf
nent painter with his fists, and hid him
self under large table, where he yelled
until he was tired. Mr.. Firth de-
clares in his "Reminiscences" that the
little prince showed a most unforgiving
spirit and revenged himself afterward
by sitting SO badly that the painter
failed altogether to produce satisfac-
tory likeness. London Chronicle.

RHEUMATISM.

New TerrOrs In Store For Sufferers From
the Little Understood Disease.
Now we are told that not only are
cancer and consumption contagious, as
well as several other diseases long re-
garded as individual, but that rheuma-
tism may be transmitted from one per-
son to another by contact as we'll as by
heredity. This is the more alarming be-
cause rheumatism, for which there are
more sure cures than pharmacist can
compound in week. is virtually incur
able by drugs and Is the disease of all
diseases that is not understood by the
medical profession. Nobody knows ex-
actly or approximately what rheuma-
tism Is. 1t is described with high de-
gree of positiveness in medical books,
but the fact that Affections wholly I'M
like are classed under the general head
Of rheumatism is proof that there is no
certain knowledge of its character 1t
is found to be associated with disorders
Of the throat and stomach and with dis
tinctly nervous affections. The varieties
run from muscular rheumatism to neu-
ralgia, yet as to what tissues are most
involved in the worst form of the dis
ease and in what manner they are in
volved there are as many opinions as
there are varieties Of rheumatism.
The rheumatic patient, who some
times suffers all the pangs of govt, has
a hard enough time Of 1t at best with
out being regarded as a center of phys
ical as well as moral pestilence. He is
irritable, pugnacious, impatient, I'M
grateful and profane. His immediate
relations bear with these mortal infirm-
tiles because of the obvious reality Of
his sufferings. They generously put
themselves within the range and reach
Of his shoes or whatever missiles he has
at hand, in order that he may vary the
monotony of pain with the pleasure of
personal assault. To announce the con-
tagiousness Of rheumatism is to drive
away from his bedside all sympathetic
and enduring friends. When they wit
ness the moral decay of a good man in
the clutches of this disease, they are
naturally disposed to save themselves
by flight from like condition.
What the victims of rheumatism have
a right to maintain is that the doctors
know too little about the disease. They
are too helpless in its violent stage to
have any warrant for further dogmatio
afirmations about 1t. If rheumatism is
to be classed among the contagious dis
eases, it will be necessary to regulate
the Turkish bath establishments as we
do smallpox hospitals, or they will be
come centers from which rheumatism
will radiate like cholera from oriental
wells. Man is kept busy enough dodg-
ing the microbes of other diseases with
out being compelled to ward off rheu-
matism. st. Louis Globe Democrat
