The one great argument that can be
used for the divided skirt is its abso-
lutte safety. Primarily the skirt is
used for riding diamond frame
wheel, though it can be worn ON
drop frame machine equally as well.
The skirt of this make is self-arrang-
ing; that is, the rider does not have to
take the time and trouble of evenly
dividing it before getting into the sad
die. Another great advantage is that
there is less liability, in fact, none at
all, of its blowing up when riding in
the wind, and perhaps the greatest
advantage is that it does not blow back
far enough with the wind to have the
end wrap around the rear sprocket
wheel, as is the case with the ordin-
ary skirt when worn. While there
are many makes of divided skirts on
sale in the market, there are some that
do not answer all requirements, and
the rider, in purchasing one, will have
to use her own judgment as to its
practical value.-Washington Star.

When John Albert, the Duke of
Mecklenburg- g-Schwerin, announced
the recent accession of his young
nephew to the Grand Duchy and his
Pwn assumption of the regency, he
fouched his proclamation in the same
Phraseology as that of the mobiles and
princes in the Middle Ages, when all
the mercantile, agricultural and man
ufacturing classes were looked upon
as mere serfs and cattle. Thus, the
concluding sentence was: "We look
for absolute loyalty and blind obedi-
ence in every possible particular, as is
only right and fitting on the part Of
subjects, vassals and servants toward
the master of their land and of their
persons"

"a Wrinkle Chaser"

An apparatus of simple construction
has lately been invented by a clever
individual who has the interest of
women at heart. A wrinkle chaser"
he calls it, and although the theory is
not new, the contrivance is so easy of
manipulation that any one who cares
to preserve her complexion, already
beautiful, or improve one not up to
the mark, will eagerly give it trial.

bathed in cool water. In order to
soften the skin and dissolve the par
ticles of fat that may have settled in
the pores, few drops of aromatic es-
sence are added to the water in the
boiler. The regeneration and beauti-
flying of the skin is possible by in
creasing the activity of the pores of
the skin wherever it has been inter-
fered with by age or other influences.
The lessening of the skin action be-
comes evident by the whitening of the
skin and the formation of wrinkles.
Again, too great an activity of the skin
will create pimples and blackheads,
while superduous activity of pigment
cells becomes evident by the appear
ance of freckles and moles. All these
shortcomings can be obviated by the
regular and repeated steaming of the
face, which has very wholesome in

The Collar aud CUFFS Habit.

1t is the greatest mistake for woman
to wear linen collars and cuffs il she
has not the courage to face huge
laundry bill. A womans collars and
cuts should be above suspicion, like
her reputation. Unfortunately, how
ever, no sooner does woman take to
the collar and cuffs habit than her
daily question becomes: Can 1 get
another wear ont of this collar?"
No, decidedly not; one wear is all
that civilized being is supposed to
get out of collar or pair of cuffs.
What more distressing sight than the
soiled dapperness of the tailor-made
girl in collar, cuffs or necktie that
have lost their first freshness. ST.

The Metlakahtla Indians of Califor-
mia, who have been cared for for years
by the Rev. John Duncan, do not ap-
pear to have warm gratitude for the
man who has helped them to gain
civilization. For years Mr.. Duncan
has run the only store in the settle
ment, but recently several shrewd
Indians have started stores which are
getting the lions share of the trade.
Mr.. Duncan tried to checkmate them
by charging prohibitive dock rates for
landing, but the Indians met him half

which they propose to make free to
all. They are also talking of putting

GAIL right, sir, said the clerk, "step
this way; do you want black or white?
And how about the length? You know
we have them with or without lace
trimmings"
The mans face was n study. The
girl, still talking, walked toward the
rear end of the store, and, to hear
what she said, the man galloped
around the counter, stepping on the
tail of fat pug dog in his hurry, and
finally bringing up, with his face
rather red, behind pile of corset
boxes at the end of the counter.

the man finally sputtered, "and / don't

"Steel trimmings?"q "queried the sales

eyes, stree; no steel trimmings in
mine. Mandy amt got her life in
sured, and / see in the papers this
morning that three young women were
struck by lightning down in Ohio a
couple of days ago, and the coroner
blames the whole thing on the steel in
the corsets, and amt going to let
Mandy take no chances"
He was shown all kinds and sizes of
corsets, but finally gave up trying to
find any without the deadly steel.
"That makes about the forty-ninth
person who has refused to buy cor
sets today, and all because they are
made with little strip of STEEL" re-
marked the saleswoman after the man
had disappeared, "and it's all owing
to that Ohio story about the girls be-
ing struck by lightning"
An investigation proved this to be
the case among all the leading dry
goods stores, and toward nightfall the
managers of the corset departments
were beginning to devise schemes by
which the deadly features of the cor
sets might be eliminated.
According to the Ohio story three
young women were killed while walk
ing along a country road near church
| which ;hey had been attending. An
other girl who was with them at the
time was not injured. At the coroner's
inquest it developed that the three
victims Of the lightning's fury had
been incased in steel corsets, while
the girl who was uninjured had worn
a bicycle waist. Chicago Record.

While the growth of our urban pop
ulation since the war has been phe-
nominal, it is painful to the Atlanta
Constitution to note that "much of
this increase has been wrought at the
expense of the rural districts. On
good authority it is stated that, during
the two decades extending from 1870
to 1891, not less than6, 900, 900 people
in the United States moved from the
rural districts to the cities. If this
process continues for > any length of
time it is evident that the growth of
our cities will soon exhaust the rural
districts completely. But is this pro-
cess likely to continue? Most cer-
tainly not. There must come time
when the drift of population, instead
of proceeding from the rural districts
to the cities, will proceed from the
cities to the rural districts; and al
ready there are hopeful signs of this
change. Improved facilities of trans
portation have virtually bestowed
upon the farmer the same privileges
enjoyed by his city brethren; and,
without the slightest inconvenience,
one can live in the country and yet
make daily trips to the city. The
force of this statement is emphasized
by the number of suburban homes
which are going up in the neighbor-
hood Of most of our large cities.
Within the next few years it is likely
that this tendency to return to rural
life will be even more distinctly
marked than it is at present. Without
prosperity in the fields Of grain there
can be no prosperity in the marts Of
trade. and in vain will our cities in
crease in population il they are built
mp at tho expense Of the rural dis
tsiets."

Fashion Notes.

Foulard and printed china silk
gowns trim prettily with black velvet
ribbon.
Pockets are once again in all skirts
at the back seam on the right side, but
not at the centre seam.
Very handsome dresses are made
variously of white etamine, canvas,
mohair, nuns yelling and double-faced
cashmere.
Very fine designs. in Cluny and
Flemish lace appear on new summer
toilets, fancy waists and linen lawn
and cambric underwear.
Large quantities of new and beauti-
ful drapery net are used, not alone for
making fancy waists, collarettes and
fichus, but also for entire gowns.
Violets and the new shade known as
bastille, and the color of old ivory, is
a new and unusual combination, we'll
worn by blondes of certain type.
The Innings of skirts of all trans
parent materials are made up entirely
separate from the outside material,
though usually hung from the same
belt.
Many of the dressy summer French
models show the bodices cut in low
rounding or square shape, to be worn
over pretty Russian guimpes OF vari-
Gus kinds.
A very handsome blue and green
changeable poplin is combined with
corn color silk, plated crosswise for
the bodice, the armholes finished with
three scanty ruffies, edged with gold
braid
The lightweight wooden skirts dec
Grated with from two to five tiny bias
ruflies, frequently show the latter
bound with narrow black satin ribbon
when the corselet belt is made of piece
satin.
A nice looking frock, which is
trimmed with braid and which would
make suitable travelling costume, is
of green material, the braid, which is
of black mohair with tiny edge of
gold, arranged in circles from the
waist to little distance below the
hips. The rest of the skirt is per-
fectly plain. The waist is slightly
open, showing white chemisette Of
plated linen, the rest of the bodice
being covered with braid, with the
same interval of distance between the
strips as those on the skirt.
A charming trimming, which looks
at distance like an embroidery of
fine white braid, is made by laying a
rather heavy ecru lace insertion over
pure white satin, the insertion being
less than an inch wide. A pretty
printed foulard containing several
shades OF gray, is daintily ornamanted
in this way. Three of these fiat bands
trim the skirt near the hem, and the
sleeves-whichh have the fulness pushed
we'll up, fit the arm and swell out in q
faring, cup-like cuff over the hand
have on the inner side, extending the
whole length of the arm, panel Of
white satin, edged by the insertion,
while lining the cuffs are frills OF white
plated mousseline de sole.
