Dry Goods.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-The dry goods situation
is quiet this week. The Jewish holidays continue
and the market is deprived Of this class Of trad
ing, a inconsiderable feature. Mail orders
were usual on Tuesday, small to-day and the
aggregate of sales both in jobbing stores and at
first hands very light. The price situation Is
generally firm, however. In cotton goods the
position of sellers is strong many lines. FIX
port goods and few other grades are in quiet
request but staple bleached and brown goods
show no weakness. Prints too. are displaying a
Well-sustained front. Wooden goods are generally
firm the advance in the staple being such as to
warrant a strong stand the part of sellers,
with chance for improved prices later. Print
cloths gave signs of weakness.

ket is quiet at 25sc nominal for regulars, with

In that vast majority of homes which
are not spacious enough to AFFORD a

should be set aside for the smaller

carefully arranged are swept away by
the rude hand of some unsympathlzlng

very senseless and cruel to put away

child's play corner should be some sun

the little child, for her taste to arrange
and her caprice to fix, without regard

In a pleasant home in which lives

The Spirit Collar.

One of the features of the we,l-known
"spiritualistic" cabinet trick has been
exposed by a writer in the Scientific
American. This is the spirit collar
with which the medium is sometimes
fastened in the cabinet The collar Is
made of brass and fits closely about the
performers neck. Through the open
ing in the ends of the collar is passed
a chain, after the collar is on the per-
formers neck, and this chain is passed
around post, carried back ard
through the paddock which is used to
lock the collar. BY this arrangement
the performer is fastened securely 10
postal least it appears so to the au-
dience. AS seen by the cut the collar
is decorated with a number Of small
bolts. which impart to it an additional
appearance of strength.
These bolts are all false. with one

A Dog with . Cork Leg.

A dog with a cork leg may sound
like curiosity, but is nevertheless a
fact. Such a dog is known to the
writer. She is a little white fox ter
rier who was chasing a rat in the
street when she was run over. As she
was great pet, instead of having her
destroyed her master took her to a
friendly surgeon, who gave her an an
aesthetic and amputated the leg above
the first joint. During the time of her
convalescence, when she suffered a
good deal of pain, she was nursed as
tenderly as if she were a human being.
After time the wound healed and her
master had little cork leg made for
her, and instead Of going round uncom-
fcrtably on three legs, she is now able.
by practice, to get along splendidly on
all fours.

TelephOneS In Bed.

One Of the most ingenious applica-
lions of the telephone is the portable
form, which is known as the Portable
Hospital Telephone. Its particular use
is to enable people in sick room. In
which an infectious disease is being
nursed, to communicate with the peo-
pie in the rest of the house. In hos
pitfalls this simple adaptation OF the tel
ephone to the requirements of the Sit
uation will be found invaluable; but an
even greater field for its utility will
be the private house. The irksomeness
Of having some of the infectious dis
eases in a mild form is multiplied ten
fold by the enforced seclusion of the
patient, who is suddenly cut of from
intercourse with the rest of the fam
lily. Now. by the mere addition of this
little instrument to the furniture OF the
apartment, it is possible for sick per-
son to keep up a conversation with
any member of the rest of the family,
and in this way the tedium, which Is
;useparable from the compulsory lso-
lation, may be relieved. Furthermore.
the nurse will by its means be saved a
good many journeys, even IN non-ln-
fictitious cases, for she can ask Tor
things to be brought to her at odd
times, which, in the ordinary course,
she would have to 20 for, or at least
ring a hell and have someone come to
the door to ask what she required.

The Self.Tacking Yacht.

Mr. Herbert Consterdine, the famous
English engineer. has been exhibiting
a very clever invention which does
away with manual aid IL the lacking
and steering of model and workaday
Yachts. The idea is worked on mo-
del cutter yacht, which measures over
all about nine feet. Hitherto with
such a yacht it has only been possible
to run before the wind or set the boat
on a single tack. which will carry her
in a straight line from one side of
lake to the other. But with Mr.. Con-
sterdine's mechanism it is now possible
as has been demonstrated to the salts
faction of experts. to set a yacht of
from q lee shore and make her reach
the windward side by automatically
lacking against the wind. The prin-
ciple of Mr.. Consterdine's invention is
such that the beating to windward may
be continued Indefinitely. of course
given a continuous wind and a suffi-
GENTLY large sheet of water. If the
yacht is not required to reach the
weather shore she can be set to go
definite number of tacks, after the COM
pletion of which she will of herself
cease lacking and return to the lee
shore, running before the wind. To do

Greek House Gowns.

Soft, clinging materials are once
more coming in for house gowns, and
Greek effects will therefore be fash
lonable during the coming season. Like
the gown worn by Celia in Harold
Erederic's illumination" they will be
craped rather than fitted. Cashmere,
nuns yelling. and soft camels hair will
be the materials used. The colOrs will
be varied. All light colorings are like
ly to be popular, but the girls will
choose with a view rather to their
own eyes and complexion, just as Celia
chose ivory white on account of her
wonderful head of FURNISHED gold.
A successful gown is of robins egg
blue, and will be worn by a dark girl
with rosy cheeks. The back has q

The police of France recently dis
covered regularly organized market
place for the sale of spurious coins OF
France. 1t was extensively patronized
by walters, who lay in a supply of the
false coins to work them of on tour
lists. The large stock of false coins
seized was found to be of quality SUI
perior to that generally uttered by
ccunterfeiters. The idea seemed to be
to safely insure small profits. For in
stance, a lot OF 5-franc pieces were
found to have an almost bullion value
Of francs each. They were sold to
the waiter customers for 4 francs each,
allowing the dishonest purchaser a
clear profit Of l franc. Few people
look closely at franc piece and a
very bad imitation can be successfully
uttered in four cases out of five. The
average price paid at this exchange for
franc pieces was % centimes, or 2h
cents. European continental walters
are past masters in the art of passing
counterfeit or demonetized coins. for
eigners being their victims.-Philadel-

Her majesty's domain, where the PHI
vate bathing machine prevails and

ceremony, is not the place where one
would look for radical and progressive
notions concerning bathing dresses. Yet
here it is that the divided SKIRT, uncon-
cealed by an overhanging one, seems
about to win a permanent place in the
regard of bathers.
The suits which are made after this
model are full. The shaped, divided

New Positions for Women.

Large hotels afford an opportunity
for women to fill several remunerative
positions without any loss Of dignity.
and if she is willing to work with
promptness and neatness there is no
reason why she should not make a
comfortable living and be of invaluable
assistance to the traveller.
The position of ladies companion"
is suggested as a novel line OF work
for women. Such a companion would
live in the hotel and make herself gen.
orally useful to its women guests,
charging so much an hour for her
services. Her services as guide or
chaperone would be invaluable on
many occasions. If the weather is bad
or the guest is i'll and wishes to be en-
tertained the companion only needs to
be notified. This many consider a
most excellent opening for both elder
ly and young women. 1t seems prob
able that the hotels would be not only
willing to have them but glad Of their
services. The woman should be as
nearly Independent as possible. mat
is, to engage her room and pay her
board like any other guest, and leave
her cards in the Office with the under
standing that she was to be recon-
mended and called on when needed.
There are hundreds of ways in which
she could make herself useful and also
have an opportunity for making very
desirable friends and acquaintance.
Then there is the hotel shopper, q
woman who will direct or advise the
guests of the house how and where to
do their buying. or, if called OF. do the
buying herself or accompany them
when buying. Then there is the hotel
member, a woman also at the beck and
call Of the guests of the hotel.

Many Styles Of Hats.

Alpines, English walking hats, tur-
bans and the perennial sailor shapes
all those styles which are always in
fashion for travelling wear and general
utility uses-are more than ever pop
ular this year, golf, tennis, yachting
and cycling costumes being incomplete
without a finish of one or the other of
these practical models. This year the
sailor hat is trying to both men and
women. Like an inch on the end of
a mans nose, the small addition to
height or width of a sailor hat makes
all the vital difference between the
becoming and the reverse. In styles
for men, the crowns, even on sizes
usually fitting The wearer. look bulky
and overload The sailors for women
and girls are, as a rule, nearly two
inches too high and an inch too wide
to look we'll or make their wearers
look so in them. However, they are
the rage, Drim and crown, and there
fore there is nothing further that need
be said for or against them.
Alpine shapes are slightly narrower
in the brim than last year, and the
crowns somewhat higher. They are
trimmed with stiff shades, quill feath-
ers and a bow and band of bias vel
vet. The pineapple straws are much
used this year, both for sailors and
Alpines for cycling wear. The over
trimmed turbans and English walking
hats are quite too weighty for COM
Portable uses just now. although they
can hardly be surpassed as appropriate
shapes for travelling. For the autumn

A Quick Firing Pistol.

The principle of a self-loading. self
firing gun has recently been applied to
pistols by famous maker of firearms
in Germany, Herr Mauser. 1t is his
rife that the Belgian army has carried
for the last few years. The Mauser
pistol has a magazine that will take
ten cartridges at a time, although the
inventor has made one that will hold
twenty. The operation of loading the
magazine is so easy that when firing
has begun the discharge can be main
tanned at the rate Of eighty shots a min
ute, or faster than one a second. No
attempt is made to cool the Mauser pis-
tol. - Is done with the Maxim gun.

removed by the performer when the
collar is on his neck, thus allowing the
collar to come apart at the hinges, as
shown in the cut. thus releasing the

perform any trick he wishes, and per-

The loose bolt fits SO secure
