HOW TO PACK A SATCHEL

Considering the frequency with
which a great many women make use
of satchels it is astonishing how few
OF them know how TO pack one of
these handy articles. In the major

necessary before the most necessary
things can be obtained, A satchel con
tanning pockets at the side is most
common. A careful division of small
articles into two groups, according to
reed, should be made. For instance.
three or four pocket handkerchiefs, a
clean collar, an extra veil, extra
gloves, glove buttoner, button hook
and other things pertaining to wear-

LIBRARY BOOKS FOR SCHOOLS.

In commenting upon the good work
that the Philadelphia Free library is
doing in supplying books to the public
| schools of the city-a work that is
similar TO the one carried Oh i'll Mil
waukee, The Record of that city, says:
"A bright teacher armed with TWEEN
ty good books can revolutionize a
school of forty pupils in six months,
but without a supplementary library
she cannot accomplish one-half as
much. For laxative girls and boys,
for instance, that shelf full OF enter
tanning stories is an u~nalloyed bless
ing. Every teacher knows that when
an noun is given to prepare certain
lessons that there are always four or
five pupils who are through in forty
minutes, and as these are invariably
the ones with quick, restless brains
they are also the inveterate takers
which make life miserable for their
respective instructors.
Now a dozen supplementary books
judiciously given out Will do more
to insure necessary quiet than all the
punishment ever inflicted by man, or
woman either. Tell the talkative boy
that as soon as he has learned his
lesson he may read a Robinson Crusoe
story book, or hint to the girl that
that volume of fairy tales is open 70
her as soon as her work is done, and
it has been proven over and over
again hat the tasks are done with an
eager vim and talking and playing are
at a decided discount.
SCOTS novels near her desk kept
absolutely quiet and studious in my
school-room for a whole season a
girl whom no teacher in the city
could keep silent for fifteen consecu-
tive minutes said a teacher years be-
fore the supplementary library was a
fact; but now that it is here and is a
prominent part of all our schools it is
safe to predict that our children will
not only find school hours more profit
able than did their parents, but they
will prove them to be much pleasanter
and that is better than all the rest"

FIVE-YEAR-OLD SWITCHMAN.
Employed on a Trolley Line in New
York City.

Recently passengers en- the Jersey
City trolley lines have noticed a very
small boy turning the switch at the
corner of Clinton and Second streets.
Naturally it was supposed that the lit
tie fellow was amusing himself by
taking the place of the regular
switchman.
The fact is, however, that the little
5-year-old boy, Jack Mulvary, tends
the switch himself from early morn
ing till late at night. He is, without
doubt, the youngest switchman in the
world.
Little Jack had been pondering
schemes of making money all summer
so that he could help out the family
treasury, His fayorite play ground
was near his grandmother's house on

was looking for a new boy. The mo-
tolman looked around in amazement
and tried to locate the shrill voice.
Finally he discovered a very tiny,
ragged urchin at his feet. The mo-
tcrman laughed loud and long at the
Presumption Of the little elf.
Better go home, little sonny, and
let your people take cart of you. You
are too small to be hanging around
trolley cars, You'll get run over"

POKE HATS FOR FALL WEAR.

The poke hat is becoming TO so
few faces that 1t is with much hesita-
ton that the style is adopted. Millin-
esrs however, declare thta the POKE
hat will be the hat Of the seacon, n
it surely will be if they have their
way. The only one seen so far was OF
light gray felt. caught up in front with
pale yellow crepe rosettes. Long
h' ers nrooped down over the
sides, giving it extra breadth. me
dress worn with this was OF gray
striped cheyoit. trimmed with blue
braid and made with a natty cutaway
jacket effect that was very becoming.
A stock of he dress goods was worn,
and the same goods vas made into a
hchu for the finishing Of the sailor
collar. The sleeves were double bal
loon, set over a very tight-ftting
coat-sleeve.
earl-gray gloves matched the hat
an shirt front gave
a decidedly tailor-made finish to this
neatest and latest of fall gowns. In
place of the parasol a small umbrella
is carried, rolled tight around
its stick, and finished with a ruching
OF black satin ribbon. which Is tied
around the handle OF the umbrella.
This is a precautionary move for the
fan showers.
