FASHION NOTES.
Small Odds and Ends of Ladies' Costumes
for the Season.

Small Odds and Ends of Ladies' Costumes
for the Season.
We hear of skirts that are plated
all the way around, but no one seems
to be able to find them when they are
looked for. All of the most approved
models are very snugly fitted at the top
around the hips, and have great deal
of fullneSS at the back. Some OF the
newest skirts are padded inside, and SO
arranged as to increase the fullness
about the hips. AS the shoulders grow
smaller, the contour below the waist
line grows apace.
A hat of braided felt is in modified
sailor shape. The rather wide brim is
rolled up all around, and the upper side
is almost covered by fans and ruchings
Of plated and crimped silk. Wide quill
feathers stand straight up from the
immediate front, and a row OF velvet
roses is set close up against the hair
underneath the brim.
Brght-red waists are fashionable ana
becoming to brunettes. They are sPe-
cially pretty for dull and gloomy
weather, and when worn with black
skirts make very serviceable and prac-
teal costumes. The brightness of them
NAV be somewhat subdued by full
fronts of lace mixed with black velvet
ribbon.
Among the new trimmings are jew
eled buttons and those done in enamel
so cunningly applied that they resem-
BILE Florentine mosaic. There are also
celluloid buttons in exquisitely beauti-
full designs, but they must not be worn
near flame, as the wearer might suf-
fer from their infammable qualities.
Ladies who have become weary of re-
newing silk petticoats will find it to
their advantage to try those made OF
alpaca. Made up with ruffies of the
same material or of silk, and edged
with lace or velvet, they are exceed
ingly pretty and stylish as well as very
durable.
a dress of spotted taffeta is one OF the
most useful additions to woman S
wardrobe. Given silk of good quality.

THE BEAR AND SNAKE WENT DOWN

tumble and work his way toward the
edge of the holler; and he got there.
but not before the snake had his other
hind leg swallowed, includin' the ham.
When Bruin reached the edge O. the
steep hill he gave desperate lunge,
and over he went. takin' the snake
with him, of course. Bingy-te-bang.
crishy-te-crash! they went, bouncin'
and rollin' and slidin' down towards the
bottom. My uncle run to the edge SOS
not to miss the windin' up of the show.
He got there time enough to see that
this sudden change in the situation had
caused the snake lot of anxiety. II
had spit the bear out and was lookin' a
good deal worried. A big pine tree
stood half way down the hill. AS the
bear and the snake went down they
passed within 20 foot of that tree.
Quicker than my uncle could see it
the snake unbuckled two or three coils
of itself from the tail end and throwed
'em around the pine tree. When the
snake got that hitch on the tree it
brought the procession to a stop so
sudden that the big pine snapped and
cracked in way that made my uncle
SILVER.
~ didn't expect nothin' else he
used to say, but what that tree would
be torn up by the roots, and go smash
in and crashin' on down the hill with
the snake and the bear
but the roots held and the
tree didn't topple. When the bear was
brought to that sudden stop at t'other
end of the snake it seemed to my uncle
as if the snake must snap square in
two. Instead of that, the big serpent
was so much like so many lengths of
Injin rubber the bear flew back up the
hill as if he had been hit by loco
motive. And suppose the snakes hold
on him had broke? 1t would have been
awful, for then my uncle would never
have come back to tell this story. The
bear would have kept on flynn up the
hill, and swept my uncle off the face OF
the earth like roarin' cyclone!
Fortunately, the snakes hold wasn't
broke, but the snake was strained so
that the bear had good deal more play

THE WIND HARP.

oh, the heart of the flaming rose,
The eyes Of the marguerite,
And the lips of the daffodil,
And the brow of the lily sweet!
! feast my soul all day,
And dream-l dream all night;
But cannot-cannot drink my fill
OF their supreme delight.
And the song of the robin glad,
The voice of the meadow rill.
The swallows under the thatch.
And the wind about the hill
They sing-they sing at morn,
And they sing-they sing at night;
AS ] listen-listen-and SO catch
The language of delight.
And, oh, my soul has grown to be
A harp of many strings.
Whereon the fragrant summers play
And all the budded springs.
dwell with men no more,
AS dream the lifelong night:
AS l revel-revef all the day
In gardens of delight.
And when the stormy winter comes,
Alone in the leafless tree,
/ still repeat the music soft
That summer taught to me.
And thus the gloom l cheer,
With my themes from morn till night,
AS 1 whisper-whisper through the croft
The music of delight.

UNEQUAL ANATOMY.
Strange Differences in the Eyes and Other
Parts of the Body.

Strange Differences in the Eyes and Other
Parts of the Body.
Some curious features are noted in
the inequality in size and influence of
corresponding parts Of the human body.
The ears on the same head are probably
more alike than any other of the twin
organs of the body. Nevertheless, they
vary as regards thickness, length, shape
and position most remarkably in differ
ent individuals. If the ear, however,
on one side is delicate in size and con-
tour, the other will be the same, while
if the one looks like dried fig the 9TH
Ell duplicates it in form and color. But
with the eye it is different. To say
nothing of the fact that one eye is gen
orally more open than the other, all
oculists agree that the cases where
the seeing powers of the two are equal
in the same head are very rare. Usually
men use the right eye the most. Watch
makers, engravers, microscopes and
mariners using the telescope apply
their right eye to the instrument and
generally overwork that organ. There
is no good reason why both eyes should
not be equally strong, but they are not.
Tailors agree that the right shoulder
is almost always lower than the left.
This they account for by the universal
habit men have of resting the left ell
bow on the desk while writing, and to
the equally prevalent practice of those
who carry heavy burdens resting them
on the right shoulder.
AS regards the arms and legs, there
is generally but slight difference. In
the size of the hands and feet there is
commonly great variation, and, Curl
ously enough, while it is the right hand
that is generally bigger, it is the left
foot that often requires a larger sized
boot or shoe. Glovemakers give the
proportion of large right hands as 300 to
900, which, by the way, approXimates
to the proportion of right-handed per-
sons in the community. The size of
the hand is generally increased by Ia
Dor. If ladies are to be trusted as to-
the size of the gloves they wear, the hui
man hand has grown smaller within the
last 20 years. But glovers tell differ
ept story. They confess to making all
ladies' gloves half size smaller than
they really are. This, they say, is be-
cause ladies almost invariably ask for
size smaller glove than they should
wear.
| There is nearly always difference
in the size of the hands. This is so
marked that the glove that fits the right
hand will wrinkle on the left, looking,
in fact, too large. The left foot, as a
rule, is the larger. While the right
hand and arm are generally better de-
veloped and stronger, the opposite leg
corresponds in those particulars. It is
found that in athletic persons the adj
vantage of strength is often with the
| left foot. That is the foot we habitually
stand upon, and it is the left foot that
leads off in the walking. A man uses the
left foot most ON the bicycle, and even
more so in mounting horse. While
the constant use of the right hand is a
matter of training monkeys use both
| equally, the more frequent use of the
left foot would seem to be general
habit, hence that foot is in many cases
the ger.--Albany Argus.

The manuscript of Lord Nelson's au-
photography is to be sold at auction in
London soon. 1t was sent from Port
Mahon in 1893 to John Macarthur, who pub
lished 1t in 1909, four years after Nelson's
death. An autograph letter will be sold
with the manuscript.
Prof. Jewett had a curious way of
commenting on the work that was
brought to him by students. On one oc-
casion he was shown a set of Greek
verses. After looking them over care
fully he glanced up rather blankly and
said to the author. Have you any taste
for mathematics"
So rich was the Due d'Aumale that he
had to make two wills in order properly
to provide for the disposition of his prop
erty. One of them relates exclusively to
that part of his estate which is in France,
while the other deals with the wealth de-
posted in England possibly from motives
of precaution. The French will provides
for the appointment of five executors,
headed by M. Rocher who are to have
charge of the Chantilly estate for ten
years, after which the French Institute
will take possession of the castle, the col
lections and the demesne, in trust for the
nation. During the twelve months the eX-
ecutors have to fulfil all the formalties
of the succession, and take the necessary
steps for transferring the property to
those to whom it has been bequeathed.
They will also have to regulate the be-
quests of land and other property to the
Due dOrleans, who, it appears, is to have
the Eu estate as it stood in the time of
his father, the COmte de Paris, as well as
the large demesne of Zucco, in Sicily. and
the house and lands of Wood Norton in
England. The lands of Guise, at Nouvion
en- Thierache, in the Northern Department
of the Aisne, will be held during their life
times by the Due and Duchesse de Char
tres in trust for their second son, Prince
Jean, an officer in the Danish army The
Paris residence of the Due dAumale goes
to Prince Pierre eldest son of the Comte
d'Eu. The will as to the English estate
refers to the personal property of the
prince. The executors are English, with
full power on their side to deal with the
succession.

Ambassador Porter,s Frencb,

On a recent public occasion in Paris
Sarah Bernhardt made the rather start
ling claim that her American tours had
exerted so powerful an influence upon life
in the United States as to lead to the
common use of the French language
among the educated classes over there,
says the Chicago Times-H Herald. To this
statement, perhaps, may be attribpted the
action of the French government the
other day in demanding that Ambassador
Porter's Introductory address be delivered
in French.
1t is a pleasure to note that Gen. Porter
acquitted himself creditably, even under
most disadvantageous conditions. Taken
entirely by surprise, Uncle Horace, of
course, was considerably handicapped. but
he Immediately pulled himself together
and delivered an address which undoubt-
eddy made those arrogant Frenchmen open
their eyes.
Monsieur lie President" he began, "SiI

And the thunderous applause which
greeted these remarks abundantly testi-
fed to the cordial relations existing be-
tween the two great republics. 1t is i'm
possible to keep a good man down.

Quick Editorial Writing

1t was the practice of a certain London
editor some years ago to write his leading
article or articles at home the night be-
fore publication, says the San Francisco
Argonaut. The rest of the week he did
nothing. One night his articles had not
come to hand at the Office. Ten o'clock
came; l, u, and still no signs of an arti-
Gle. There was commotion in the office
and at last a messenger was sent to the
editors house. He found him with a glass
of brandy and water before him, and
newspapers scattered about. There was
no article written. What do you want?'
asked the editor "The article for to-mor-
row." Didn't send it?" mo; at least
it has not come to the Office" Give me
the Times" The Times was found and
handed to him. and with unsteady fingers
he cut out one of it's leading articles This
he stuck upon a sheet of paper, and then,
taking up his pen, wrote at the top:
What does the Times means by this?'
In that form and with that Introduction
it appeared next morning as the editor
leading article.

concerned, it is misnomer to call the

The Senate proper is not doing anything
towards perfecting a bill; 1t is simply
reading the bin written by two or three
members of the finance committee, and
accepting it without question. Probably
they are not permitted to question it, The
protected interests are watching them.
The democratic senators. pursuing their
line of policy, are making occasional
speeches against the bill, but they are
not obstructing it. They know It would
be useless to do so. The bill is bound to
be passed; the President says that when

A Sorry old salt.

An old salt who navigates a bicycle
when he is in port was working a rapid
passage down Cass avenue the other day
when he collided with a woman cycler,
says the Detroit Free Press. After they
had extricated themselves from the wreck
he anticipated her outburst of anger
from which she could gather little except
that he was sincerely sorry.

jury Gave Him a wooden Leg.

novel verdict, says the Portland Ore
CONAN, was returned by the jury last
night in the damage suit of Lee A. Dom
augh VS.. the City and Suburban Railway
Company. The jury decided that the
company pay the costs of the suit, fur
nish Donaugh with a wooden leg and also
give him employment Donaugh was a
motorman on car 80 and lost his left foot
by having it caught in the gearings or
cog-wheels of the motor while engaged in
cutting out" He claimed the gearings
should have been protected with castings
and that the company was negligent in
not having them on the car. The defend
ant alleged that the use of castings had
been done away with some time before
the accident and that they were not a
protection when they were in USE but
were to prevent the accumulation of dust,
and failed to accomplish this, and, on the
contrary, caused 1t to gather. Donaugh
was injured, they say. by his own care
lessness, as he could see what he was
doing. Donaugh sued for $4,000 damages.
At two former trials the juries disagreed.

wit of An Unwilling Juror.

A strange story is related of juryman
who outwitted the judge and that without
lying, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. He
ran into court in a desperate hurry and
quite out of breath and exclaimed:
"Oh, judge, IL you can, pray excuse me!
l don't know which will die first, my wife
or my daughter"
Dear me, that's sadr' said the inno-
cent judge. Certainly. you are excused"
The next day the juryman was met by a
friend, who in a sympathetic voice, asked :
"How's your wife?'
"She's all right, thank you"
And your daughter?"
"She's all right too. Why do you ask?"
'Why. yesterday you said you did not
know which would die first"
Nor, do I. That is the problem which
time alone can solve"
