STOPPING shoulders in the philosophy class

STOPPING shoulders in the philosophy class
now.
When the girls have attained speed and
accuracy Miss Morgan divides them into
sets, as though for dance and, giving
to each girl a nest of rings, puts her pro-
teges through many exceedingly pretty
figures. The simplest of these Is ex-
change. The girls toss rings to each
other simultaneously, each catching the
others ring on her sticks and then return
ing it. In this way all the rings from
Warm Affection to Victory of the Ideal
may pass to and from the sticks of all the
girls This is varied in many ingenious
ways.
For instance. girl turns round imme.
diately on shooting the ring, and does IL
quickly enough to catch the ring of her

same time and also turned around. This
requires a very nice muscular adjustment
and is an excellent cure for awkward.
ness. Another variation is to have one
girl take Warm Affection and another
Victory of the Ideal and exchange then
by shooting Warm Affection through Vic
tory as they meet in midair.
After perfecting themselves with Vic
tory of the Ideal as one of the pairs Of
rings they try Conflict of the Transient
Desire in it's stead. This, of course, is
more difficult, as Conflict is nearer the size
Of Warm Affection than is Victory, and
there is less room for Warm Affection 10
pass through. This substitution is re-
peated until Simple Heaven Sunshine is
reached. That is the limit with rings Of
the sizes Miss Morgan uses. 1t is nice work
to shoot Warm Affection through Simple
Heaven Sunshine. AS yet only the most
expert of the young philosophers can do
ii as often as three out of ten tries
other variations are for one girl to keep
two rings going by herself and for two
girls to keep three rings going. -Four
girls can keep five, six. seven and even
eight rings going. 1t is a pretty sight
to see Warm Affection, Admiration,

fiict of the Transient Desire with Immor-
tai Conscience, Victory of the Ideal, Per-
feet Purity and Truth all in the air at

COCAINE HABIT INCREASING.
Ret cne In a Thousand Under Its In
nuence Can Give 1t Up.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
When civilization stole from savagery
the coca leaf and from it made cocaine,
the wise medicine man exclaimed: AT last
here is n drug which can Be used with no
Ill effect and which will not result In a
drug habit" Many people believed them.
Others remembered that these same wise
men said the same choral, upon the
introduction Of that drug. and the choral
habit followed the medicinal use Of that
drug. Just as surely has the cocaine ha-
bit trailed IN the wake OF this local anaes-
thetic. Called by some the doctors dis
ease" because physicians are especially
addicted to the use of cocaine as a stimu-
liant, this habit is also the affiiction of
fashion. As rule the degraded do not re-
sort to cocaine, unless with or following
opium.
Said member of the faculty of the col
lege of pharmacy the other day: Il be-
Ieve the cocaine habit is growing fast.
Ministers, lawyers, doctors, people who
have to make hard mental efforts and
work long hours take the drug as a slim
ulant, thinking to get aid for while, and
then when the pressure of necessity sub
sides they can quit the use of il. There's
an old eastern pFoverb which, slightly
changed, says. First the man takes NOR
phine, then the morphine takes morphine,
and then morphine takes the man. 1t is
much the same with cocaine. Terrible as
is the morphine habit, the cocaine habit
is even worse, because it leads inevitably
to quick and sure insanity, from which no
one can recover.
Il know of a bright young doctor who
wanted a stimulus to enable him to do
prodigious amount of work. He knew the
powers and the wonders of cocaine and
began to take it hypodermically, thinking
that when the rush was over he could
stop. The rush is over for him forever,
and he has stopped, but he is in a retreat,
known only to his family, and is hope
less lunatic.
1T is not boys habit, this taking of
cocaine. There are plenty of boy opium
smokers, and no end of fast women to
keep them company. But the victims of
cocaine are in the prime of life. from 80 to
40 years old. They may have been intro

with a darker shade OF taffetta ribbon.
The ribbon was arranged in four perpen-
dicular strips that slanted a trifie to the
left. They graduated in length so that
the shortest strip was only four inches
long. while the longest reached nearly to
the waistband. They were finished at the
top with butterfly bows
The corsage Of the cashmere was made
with a great deal Of fulness at the left
shoulder and at the neck. This was drap-
ed around to the right side, where it fast
ened TO the under arm seam. The back
of the corsage was plain. From the front
of the tall collar came strip of the green
taffeta ribbon, which slanted to the left
armhole seam that ended in a bow. An
other strip of ribbon coame from the Cir
die, and slanted TO the bust line, where it
ended in a bow. The sleeves were long
and close fitting as far as the elbow From
there they were draped slightly til they
reached the shoulders, where there was
quite a pun Of the material. The tall,
straight collar was mounted by a plait-
ing of the ribbon.
Another pretty church gown IS made of
pale gray ladies' cloth. The skirt is a
godet with but little fulness, which is
all carried to the back. The corsage is a
short bolero opening over a broad vest
of shirred white mousseline de sole. Both
sides of the jacket are cut with broad
box plaits, which are tackled fiat and en-
broidered with white silk soutache. The
back of the bolero hangs loose and
straight and barely touches the top of the
tall girdle of burnt orange taffeta. This
girdle has sash ends that are rounded at
the bottom and reach nearly TO the bot
tom OF the skirt

ALMOST PERPETUAL MOTION.
Machine Which VIII Run without

New York, Nov. 15.-Enoch Berry, a me-
chanlc, living al Morristown N. j., has at
his home machine which, he claims, will
revolutionize the motive generating ma
chimes of the world. He says he has work
ed on the problem for years, and has finally
reached point where he has felt himself
justified in applying for patents.
The machine looks at the first glance
more like oneTof the cylindrical washing
machines used in steam laundries than
anything else. There is this difference,
that the outside shell is not solid, but
made of Stats, through which a person
can see six steel rods with screw grooves
and some guide rods and weights These
latter weigh six pounds each. The rods
are set at various angles.

Mother Mckinley.

The public will not object to one Car
in the train which carried the President
elect from Canton to Washington being
designated as Mother McKinley's car.
There is something rather pleasing to
the American mind in the idea Of a woman
98 years old travelling all the way from
Ohio to Washington to see her son
inaugurated as President Of the United
States. 1t is not recalled that any other
woman or any other President has en-
ioyed that experience heretofore. The
country does not think the less Of the
President-eleCt for knowing that ne has
always been an attentive and dutiful son,
and, ss greet men almost inevitably have
great mothers, it will readily believe that
Mother Mckinley is no ordinary woman.
Her old-fashioned Christian name,
Nancy, the same as the mother Of Lin
coin, shows that she belongs to the old
school. When she was born it would
have taken some weeks Of hard travel
to make the journey from Ohio to Wash
ington. The State itself was still in it's
swaddling clothes, and Indiana was a
Territory. The war Of 1872 was still q
future event. Railroads, steamships, the
electric telegraph, ,Ithe telephone and the
thousand inventions Of the nineteenth
century were yet unborn. Even friction
matches were not invented till long
afterwards, and when Mother Mckinley
got up in the night to make catnip tea
for little William or to tuck him up in
his trundle bed, she had to make light
with live coal from the wood fire. In
taking care of the child she builded
better than she knew. In her fondest
antiCipations for his future she could
hardly have dreamed that she would
live to accompany him to Washington on
q special train Of steam cars and see him
insugurated President Of the United
States. The heart Of the people will go

ingtOn the Sunday following theinaugu-

"Bring hither the fatted calf and kill it,"
began In these words:
"In all ages Of the world it has been
customary to celebrate joyful events by
festivity, The signing Of treaties, the
proclamation Of peace, the inauguration
Of Presidents, the coronation Of Kings,
the Christmas, the marriage. However
much on other days OF theyear our table
may have stinted supply, on Thanks
giving day there must be something
bounteous. And all the comfortable
homes of Christendom have at some
time celebrated joyful events by ban
quets and festivity. Something has
happened on the old homestead greater
than anything that has ever happened
before. A favorite son whom the world
supposed would become a vRgsbond and
outlaw forever has got tired Of sight
seeing and has returned to his fathers
house. The world said he never would
come back. The old man always said
his son would come back. He had been
looking for him day after day and year
after year. He knew he would come
back. Now, having returned to his
fathers house the father prOclaims
celebration. There is in the paddock q
calf that has been kept up and fed to
utmost capacity, 30 as to be ready for
some occasion of JOY that might come
along. All! there never would be a
grander day on the old homestead than
this day. Let the butchers do their
work, and the housekeepers bring in to
the table the smoking meat. The must
clans will take their places, and the gay
groups will move up and down the floor.
All the friends and neighhors are
gathered in and an extra supply is sent
out to the table OF the servants. The
father presides at the table and says
grace, and thanks God that his long
absent boy is home again. Oh!how they
missed him, how glad they are TO have
him back.
