INSPIRATION OF WOMEN
Happy Thought of Fran Strauss
and Blue Danube.o

II IS substantial and recognized fact
that many of our greatest statesmen
literary geniuses, inventors and sue
cessful business men owe their suc-
cess to the inspiration of a woman

and the quick thought of the woman
VINO wore it that gave us one of the

Strauss waltzes. Johann Strauss and

rummaging of pockets it was foI,n5
that neither of them had a scran of

The despair Of Strauss was natbatic
until happy thought struck Fran
Strauss. She held out a snowy cuff
which the composer clutched eagerly
and in two minutes that cuff was man
uscript Its mate followed; still the
inspiration was incomplete. Strauss was
frantic, and was about to make a wild
dash for home, with the third part of
the waltz ringing uncertainty in his
head, when, suddenly his frau be-
thought herself of her collar, and in
an instant the remaining bars Of the

Regarding Furs.

A new blind stitching machine has
been invented for the purpose of secur-
ing the interlinings to fur garments.
This is an Improvement, in that it aids
in keeping the garment in good shape,
and saves it from being stretched or
ripped at the seams and torn out at
the aTmholes. This interlining will
take the place of the rubber or cement
Innings, which have been applied with
a hot iron, and are therefore injurious
to the strongest pelts.
The thread penetrates the pelt just
enough to secure good hold, and does
not injure the fur or show on the out
side. When a garment is thus made
all the strain comes on the interlining
instead of on the fur.
A new machine is used to crimp
cheap furs in imitation of the Thibet,
so that it may be used for trimmings
and make the garments appear great
bargains. The strips of fur are passed
through the crimping irons much as
the hair of the head is crimped. The
hair Of the fur is pressed into the
grooves and comes out crimped as de-
sired. But this fur stays crimped only
as long as it is kept free from moisture.

never a hint of home madeness' about
them
It used to be, much more so than at
the present time, that those who could
not afford the services of a dressmaker
were the ones who made their own
clothes Indeed, it was not unusual to
hear a woman boastfully remark that
she could not thread a needle or sew
straight seam, so ignorant was she
of sewing. Nowadays many weIl-to-do
women consider it great accomplish
ment to be able to be independent of
dressmakers. They have learned how
to sew, how to cut and fit and drape.
Their seWing-rooms are fitted with

His Eame was William Shotton, and
he is the son Of an English sailor.
The Trafalgar, his ship, a four-mast-
ed bark of LOO tons, sailed from Ba-
tavia on October %, 1896, with a car
go of petroleum for Melbourne, Aus
tralia. Fever broke out among the
crew even before the steamer left port,
and Captain Edgar was invalided. The
command devolved upon the next in
authority, Mr.. Roberts. But scarcely
had the ship weighed anchor, when
he, too, was stricken, together with
several other able bodied members of
the crew. The ship carpenter next
succumbed to the fever, and on the
same day Officer Roberts leaped over
board in delirium. The entire charge
of the ship therefore devolved upon
Shotton. Luckily for all concerned, he
was born of race of sailors and had
receiyed some instruction in navigation.
For a time the winds were moderate,
but the fever still pursued it's deadly
course, and on Decem Der 7th the cook
died, the sixth victim of the disease.
Port Fairy, Australia, was the first
place sighted on the mainland, but this
was by no means the end of the boy
captains troubles. A few days later
fearful storm broke out, and Shotton
was of the opinion that nothing could
be done but run before it, since to
attempt to withstand it would almost
certainly mean destruction in the
weakened state of the crew. All Of
the crew who were half fit for duty
were ordered on deck, and the neces-
sary steps We're taken to put the ship
IN order to carry out the decision. Day
and night the young Captain was on
the bridge, giving his orders amid the
AWFUL tempest, with a coolness and
calmness which would have moved
many gray-haired skipper to envy.

Good Clothing.

The advantages we offer to
clothing buyers are telling and inn
portant. They arise in part from
our ability to get the best the
country affords, and from the de-
termination to so suit customers as
to have their trade permanently.
We have all our clothing made
to order for us. We pick out our
manufacturers. We pick our
cloths. We say how this kind OF a
suit is to be made, and how that.
II the coats, trousers, or whatever
they may be, are not done to order,
back they 60 to the makers. Peo-
pie look to us for the best goods,
and we cannot afford to keep any
thing else.
In point OF price our clothing
will be found, quality considered,
always as low, and in most cases
lower, than it can be had for else
where.
In point of style and fit it ranks
second to none, many of the lead
ing manufacturers of the country
being engaged upon our work.
