1t is delicate shade and looks well
with the soft, creamy lace so much
used. Clusters of roses of much deeper
tone, or purple and white violets in
clusters, are used for trimming. The
sleeves are often of two materials, such
as double bow or butterfly of the dress
material and tight-ftting lace ones be-
low. reaching almost to the elbow. Rose
petals are novel for trimming. Awhile
satin SHIRT with three rows OF pink
petal ruches, or deep yellow silk gauze
with shaded yellow ones looks very
well. Rows of ribbon velvet are also
used in sets of three, with wide space
between. A great many of the skirts
with sateen Innings have a facing OF
silk between quarter and half yard
deep all round, so as to keep out the
skirt and give the requisite frou-frou.
There is also stiff lining between. a
silk petticoat should always be worn
| if possible. il sets better than any other.
Pretty and useful bodices are to be had
ready made, composed of alternate
rows of ribbon velvet and lace, with
short sleeves and wristbands, intended
for wearing over a slip bodice with diff.
ferent skirts. They are cut high OF
low, and are in the blouse style, but
very smart. The pearl and fancy bead
ed bolcro jackets are also greatly worn
for varying toilets. The same can bt

missionary With Onion Sauce.

A missionary about to be put to death
by savage king, whom he had vainly
attempted TO convert, was greatly as
tonished to find that the king had sud-
denly resolved to pardon him. The only
stipulation his majesty made was that
he should mount his horse and carry a
small sealed packet and a letter to an
other king some distance away.
He started off in high glee, and on
his way he met With detachment of
English sailors, sent to his assistance.
They wanted him to go OH board their
ship, but be declined, being DESTROYS of
fulfilling his mission. But they would
not accept this answer, and while the
discussion was proceeding an officer ex-
AHMED the packet and the letter.
In the former he found a number Of
pungent little onions, while the latter
contained the simple but significant
words in native hieroglyphics:
"He will be delicious with these. -

diplomatic to the Last.

Prince Mavrocordato, Greek minister
to Turkey, told this story to German
correspondent in Constantinople a few
weeks ago:
"When the last squadron of cavalry,
after being modified against Greece,
was about to set sail from the Golden
Horn, 1 went with my wife and son-in-
law to Haskoi to watch the spectacle
from the neighborhood of the admiral
ty. Several high Turkish officers of the
navy noticed US and came over and in
vited us to large room held in reserve
for distinguished guests. The police
formed in double line through the
crowd, and we passed in comfort to the
room. Not single sound of discomfort
or protest was heard from the thousands
of Mohammedans on each side, although
many of them recognized us. The off
GERS placed comfortable chairs at the
windows for US, offered US, according
to Turkish custom, all sorts of sweets
and seemed never to grow weary in
showing US every courtesy through the
whole afternoon. New York Sun.

BicYcles In Austria.

The strict regulations for bicyclists
hitherto enforced in Austria have re-
Gently been greatly relaxed by an order
of Count Kiclmansegg, the official hav-
ing this matter in charge. The require
ments of an examination by the police
of all bicyclists have been dispensed
with, and henceforth riders can decide
for themselves whether they are suffi-
GENTLY skillful to ride i'll the public
streets or not. With this has also been
abolished the annual license fee Of o
forms (about S2). Bicyclists also re-
ceive much greater liberty as to the
streets and roads they may travel on,
and the speed they may adopt is more
definitely fixed. In respect to the rules
of the road, bicycles are put on the same
footing as light vehicles of all sorts.

pairing great demonstration in honor

THE HARDY CRETANS,
Shooting Their Predominant Passion, and
They Do Not Ecstrnin It.

Shooting Their Predominant Passion, and
They Do Not Restrain 1t.
Whatever faults the Cretans may
have, they arc brave and hardy-Chris-
tians and Moslems alike. They support
life on anything or almost nothing for
an indefinite time, and whom tho worst
comes to the worst die hard. They have
moro lives than the proverbial cat, and
their recupcrative forces seem inexhaust-
ible. Not long ago ono of them was
shot through the right lung, and the
doctor declared that five or six hours
was the most he could live. That man
is alive today and takes his mishap as
coolly as if it were corn or Il colo.
He is not out Of danger, but neither is
he wholly devoid of hope.
Now, the Christian insurgents on the
heights above MalaXa are men of this
type. They sleep out in the open, the
intensely blue sea at their feet aud the
dazzling, snowcapped mountains behind
them. Their shelter is an olive tree, an
inequality in the ground, Il stone, tho
remains of 4 wall-anything that hap
sens to be available There they lie per-
due day after day, straining their mar
velous vision to catch sight of an incau-
tious Turk and prepared TO put q bullet
through the smallest extent of his per-
son which he may expose. They are all
remarkably good shots, equaled only by
the Swiss and the Beers. This is char
acteristic of every Cretan, whatever his
AGO or religion. From childhood on
ward they practice rifle shooting inces-
sanity and. however poor, always man
age to possess rifle and ammunition.
A Cretan would sell his immortal
soul for gun or q revolver and would
steal them from his bosom friend with
out pang of conjunction 1t is part Of
his nature. During the present insur-
rectiou have heard of several cases OF
Cretan Christians robbing their own
comrades, but only Of their guns, re-
volvers and cartridges, which is not
breach of any of their commandments.
Shooting is their predominant passion,
and they never attempt TO restrain 1t.
They somehow bring it into harmony
with their creed, and therefore they lie,
steal, fight, kill and die with tho con-
science of saint.-London Telegraph.

Making Birch Oil.

Connecticut farmers have found a
comfortable side profit in gathering the
twigs, branches and saplings of black
birch for the birch oil distilleries. By
protecting the young growth crops are
quickly raised The birch brush has
brought from S1.50 to 50 a ton. The
birch oil has sold at 50 to IS a pound,
but is now less. One ton Of birch yields
four pounds of oil. Farmers can make the
oil themselves. The distillery may be
any rough building, and the machinery
is inexpensive The birch twigs, not
over two inches in diameter, are cut in
lengths of five inches and thrown into
water tight tanks with copper bottoms,
in which are coils of steam pipes
Three feet Of water is poured in, the
tanks are Theoretically sealed, and steam
is turned into the pipes. The water is
kept boiling six hours, and the steam,
rising, passes into pipe which runs in
the form of worm into q barrel of cold
water constantly renewed. The steam
is condensed in the worm, and the oil
drips from the end of the pipe into a
pail. 1t was formerly clarified from a
dull brown to light green after this
process. Now this is done by spreading
a heavy wooden blanket over the birch
wood inside the tank, and the oil drips
out pure and ready for market.

Men and Professions.

Man as species loves procession.
1t is the one love, in fact, that sets him
apart from the rest of the vertebrates.
In his primitive condition it belonged
to him. Civilization has only foStered
it. Both sacred and profane history give
evidence OF this, and records of con-
temporaneous life the world over prove
the truth of it every day.
1t is four years now since this love
has been gratified among US, since the
last OF our great professions blocked and
blackened the streets of New York and
masses of people filed the doorways and
windows of houses for miles or stood all
day on the pavement TO watch the troops
file by. Neither fatigue nor hunger APP
palled them at the time, nor did the
memory Of anything suffered dampen
the ardor of their response when new
procession was announced for the day
of the dedication of General Grant S
tomb
From every part Of the country, in
fact, men and women came, and for
NSShS, Us VIC 81! AHONf PASP'tAe'NASA
were everywhere being made.
But when the day arrived one saw
again what one always sees on occa-
sions like it-that procession or pa
rade, after all, or any great function, is
very much like everything else in life,
the interest it inspires depending upon
that which each individual has il him
self TO bring to its enjoyment.
The partiot is stirred by such one
as we witnessed the other day. He new
er loses sight of the great idea being
celebrated or ceases to thrill with its
meaning. But the small boy sees only
the glitter and glow of that which pass
es before him. The young woman tax
ing holiday is blind to everything but
the happy chance which is hers Of see
ing it all by the side of her lover. The
speculator with seats for sale recognizes
only field for profit, while the woman
of hospitable instinct finds an unex-
pected opportunity for the exercise of
her talents in adding to the pleasures Of
others.-Harper's Bazaar.

Tho Science of the Morning Fast.


DR.. E. H. Dewey says that the heavy
morning breakfast which is universal
in America is all mistake. The hun
ger one feels is abnormal and is simply
the acquired result of a lifelong untme-
IL meal. More than this, it is often dis
ease undergoing evolution, and many
complaints are cured simply by not TAX
ing anything beyond small cup of tea
or coffee, and sometimes not even that,
until II or ~ o'clock The experience
of hundreds of persons proves that even
the severest manual labor can be per-
formed for several hours ION an empty
stomach" and with more case, energy
and satisfaction than ever is possible
after an early morning meal, and that
it can be done even up to high noon
without unusual exhaustion or incon-
venience from the pangs of hunger. A
great many people are now giving this
matter a prolonged test, and the wis
dom of the method is clearly supported
