The Sewing Machine.

How many women who, day after
day, keep up the rocking motion OF
the sewing machine treadle ever stop
to think what this invention means,
not only to them, but to the whole
world? And do they know that sd
per cent of all the machines made in
the world are the product of this great
country of ours?
Sewing machines have revolution
lied many branches Of business; espe-
cially is this the case in all kinds OF
leather work, from the heaviest harness
to the lightest gloves.
A really first-class machine ready
for market costs about $40. From
this figure the price drops to about
S14, with possibly $40, for the most in
ferior grades of what are considered
tolerable machines. Hundreds OF
thousands of persons make their en-.
tire living by means of the sewing ma.
chine, and probably millions are gain
ers by its use. During period OF
over 30 years the value of the exports
of sewing machines was something
like $40, ,000,0 900. In 1896 they were
considerably over $1,000. 900. Three
hundred and fifty thousand pairs OF
shoes were sewed by machinery prior
to 1877, and this product has multi
piled almost past belief since that
date. New York Ledger.

The government reindeer farm near
Fort Clarence, Alaska, in the vicinity
of the lower Yukon, now has more
than one thousand animals, and they
are multiplying rapidly. The herd
was started five years ago. None of
the animals have been utilized as yet
for any purpose, although it is said
that some of them may be put to SER
vice in transporting the mails. The
Boston Traveller now suggests that a
certain number of the deer be sold to
the seekers after wealth in the Klon-
dixie. The revenue derived from their
sale, it is argued, would reduce the
heavy expenses attending the main
tenance of the rest of the herd, and
they would be the greatest possible
aid to the miners.

A Woman OF the Moment.

Mrs. Kate Henderson, who was re-
Gently appointed superintendent of
the Joliet Qll. schools, is the first
woman to occupy such position. She
is thorough educator, experienced
and modern, and has won her way to
eminence by natural ability and hard
work. Her selection for the post of
superintendent gives general satisfac-
ton. The new superintendent was
Miss Kate Alpine. She went to Joliet
from Wisconsin in 1859, and her edu-
cation was acquired chiehyin the pub
lie schools of the city. She began to
teach in 1866 and continued in that
work until 1879, when she was mar
ried to James Il. Henderson. In 1881
she returned to her profession, and
since that time she has taught in al
most every department of the schools.
Mrs. Henderson studied while she
taught. In 1896 she was elected a
member OF the school board at large,
and her work in that body was most
gratifying. Her good judgment in Sc
lecting and assigning teachers, in the
instruction of young teachers and in
other matters regarding the advance
ment of the public schools and their
operation has now been rewarded by
her appointment as superintendent.

AKnife Blade in His Knee.

Gebhard H. Koch, who came East
from Memphis, Tenn, years ago, en-
tered the hospital at Peekskill, N. Y,
recently, and shortly afterward Sur.
geon Stephen Frost Horton removed
large piece of knife blade that Koch
had accidentally run into his knee in
Memphis thirteen years before. Al
that time the wound healed and the
hidden steel was practically forgotten.
Recently the knee became very pain
full, and serious results were feared.
Mr.. Koch came to New York and had
an X-ray photograph Of the knee
taken. The plate when developed
showed the piece Of knife blade en-
bedded close to the bone. 1t was re-
moved by DR.. Horton after difiicult
operation.

buckles. They are not particularly
elegant and certainly add to, rather
than take from, the size of the waist.
That one quality is considered by the
dealers sufficient to prevent their wide
popularity, though they are among
the very latest things in belts.
In leather black and the many
shades of brown promise to almost
supercede the many shades Of green,
blue and red, so popular during the
last two seasons. The buckles of
these belts are likewise much less con-
spicuous. The harness buckle in glar-
ing silver or gilt will not be used, and
when not leather covered to match
the material of the belt, the buckle
will be of metal and almost as incon-
spicuous.
Jeweled buckles in silver, polished
or rough finished, in silver gilt
or solid gold will be used only
with silk or satin beltings. These
new buckles all call for belts two
inches and upward in width. They
are made in many new designs. There
are buckles for the bicycle girl, the
athletic girl, the yachting girl, the
skating girl, the golf girl, the horsey
girl, the military girl, the dancing
girl and even the old fashioned girl,
who is supposed to like things plain
but elegant. Metal belts will be as
much used as ever. The newest de-
signs are all made wider, though not
sufficiently so to be uncomfortable or
clumsy looking. Many of them show
a profusion of jewels and the most
stylish ones are very ornate. An es-
pecially pretty belt of this kind was a
succession of silver shells enameled
in natural colors and connected by
tiny silver links made to resemble bits
of seaweed. Another was q string of
English daises with jeweled centres
and petals of polished silver. The
connecting links were of silver, green
enamelled, giving just suggestion of
foliage.
For fancy girdles satin and taffeta
silk are the favorite materials. They
are made with points, either before or
behind, or both, while some are plain,
fastening in front, just little to the
left, with q large, outstanding bow.
Other girdles, so deep as to only need
the addition of shoulder straps to
serve as bodices, are made of bias silk
or satin, fit as snugly TO the waist as
possible, and are closed at the seam
under the arm. These deep girdles
are becoming to slender women, and
especially those lacking in we'll de-
veloped busts. Stouter women will
stick to the two inch belt narrow un-
der the arms and widening to point
in front and behind.

In Paris the hair is brought up
quite to the top of the head, where it
is formed into knot; but it stands
out well around the face and is friz-
zled at the back
The former objectionable features
of jerseys are now removed by the
addition of slight trimmings, both ON
the bodice and sleeves. While fitting
the figure perfectly, they are the easi-
est garments imaginable to wear.
Some of the very prettiest and most
graceful models shown in the advance
styles display the diminished sleeve
puffs, yoke and vest effects, strapped
seams, braided bolero fronts, jacket
bodice fronts, double breasted styles
buttoning from the left shoulder and
box-plaited or Norfolk jackets.
Gold safety pins, large or small, and
dainty little frosted safety pins of gold
to catch up the always too long dress
sleeves of infants are considered in
dispensable in the well-equipped nur-
sery. These same pins may also be-
used to fasten mammals cuff or hold

The long hatpin which is being used
this summer by women has caused a
lot of trouble in London. The cable
dispatches recently stated that the
London newspapers had started a
crusade against the new style in hat
pins on account of the serious acci-
dents which had resulted from women
wearing them in public places. One
man had his eye put ont by pin in
the hat of woman sitting beside him
in IN omnibus. The iolting of the
vehicle sent her head suddenly toward
his. Another woman lost an eye by
having it pierced by pin in the hat
Of q friend with whom she was walk
ing
It doesn't take long for London
or Paris style to reach New York, and
the women of this city commenced
wearing the long pins in the early
part of June. The new style of pin
is anywhere from one to three inches
longer than the old style. Instead of
just coming through the band of the
hat far enough to keep it securely on
the head, it sticks so far out that it is
dangerous to be near woman who
wears it. Three or four of them
few women wear less-sticking
through the side of sailor hat look
like nothing so much as the bayoneted
ends of lot of stacked muskets. They
are more dangerous, however, and it
is good idea to stand up in street
car if the only empty seats are beside
women whose heads are equipped in
this fashion.
What started the fashion is one of
the things no man will ever be able to
undevtand. They are the style and
women will wear them, and that's all
there is to it. The London newspa-
pers have undertaken big job. but,
in the interest of humanity, it is to
be hoped that they will succeed. The
crusade should belong by right to the
Humane society. There haven't been
any accidents here from the long hat
pins yet. York Sun.

>The crime Of kidnapping is COM
parAtively rare in this state with refer
enc$ to children, observes the New
York Sun, most of the cases in the
f1aw reports relating to the carrying off
of grown persons. The guilty parties
in the Conway case at Albany, have
rendered themselves liable to i'm
prisonment in the state prison for O
term not exceeding fifteen years, un-
der section 211 of the Penal code, the
second subdivision of which declares
that person is guilty of kidnapping
who willfully ''leads, takes, entices
away, or detains q child under the
age Of 16 years with intent to keep
or conceal it from its parent, guardian,
or other person having the lawful care
or control thereof, or to extort or OBJ
tain money or reward for the return
or disposition of the child, or with in
tent to steal any article about or on
the person Of the child" In the early
part Of this century the law against
Kidnapping was most frequently in
voked in the northern states in behalf
Of free persons of color who were un-
lawfully seized for the purpose OF en-
shaving them in the South. OF late
years sailors have frequently been the
victims Of kidnappers. The offenders
IN the Conway case when ascertainsd
and convieted should be punished

Popularity of Chantilly.

Scruples have vanished with the

chantilly founces, mantillas, sacks
and parasol covers of our grandmoth-

white and black, is worn. One sees
it everywhere, chiefly over pearl, gray
and white, which seems to give it
