FEMININE FASHIONS,
Some Fresh Additions to the Season
COstuneS


Some Fresh Additions to the Seasons
Costumes.
"Nearsilk' is the name of a new pretty
silky fabric manufactured to take
place of the genuine silk dress lining
Standing fraises and immensely high,
full ruches will be replaced next sea-
son on dressy toilets by plaitings of lace
that droop gracefully from a soft mar
row folded stock of net, ribbon or chif-
fou.
The "sunray" dress skirts are likely
to prove very popular wear this sum
mer, as fashion has set her unqualified
approval upon the style. 1t seems a
pity, however, that the dominating
taste for immoderate decoration will
not leave even these new graceful mod
els untrimmed. On the latest accord
1on-plaited skirts no fewer than 13
plisse-frills are arranged.
The so-called "art linens" manufac-
tured in Donegal are now made into
stylish tailor costumes. plain, braided
finished with handsome white linen
lace insertions, or facings and white
vest of white duck, the skirt completed
by bias rows of the duck in graduated
widths. Vesting of heavier linen than
that used for whole suits comes in bas-
ket weaving in red, green, ecru, cream,
etc, with lines or dots of dark brown or
black. The Galatea twiIls are now
made into cycling, boating and sea-
beach morning suits for women as well
as children.
Slender women continue to wear the
round empire sash softly folded around
the waist, the wide ribbon or scarf be-
ing very often carried around the figure
Fuller forms, however, wisely adopt the
girdle, shaped as fatty as possible;
this in many cases rising high under the
arms and narrowing to point at the
waist in front. This is decidedly more
becoming to any but slender figures
than any of the belts of uniform width.
Added to the great number of summer
waists made in surplice fashion, the
folds loose and easy or drawn as close
to the figure as possible, to suit indi
vldual requirements, are plainly fitted
waists with novel fichu-like arrange
ments of lace and null, of lace, net, and
insertion, or of material matching the
dress. On some of the French models
the shawl points are tied in very large
bow at about half the length of the
waist; on others they are simply crossed
atthe belt and there fastened: and again,
very long scarf ends are crossed on the
figure, carried to the back, and tied in
loose bow.
The box-plaited Norfolk waist reap
pears among costumes and Toilets for
spring and summer wear, and forms
part of utility gowns of tweed, shep-
herds check, plain and fancy mohair,
cheviot, and serge, as well as the waist
portion of linen, duck, pique, chambray,
and daintier toilets of taffeta striped
and dotted summer satin, folllard gren-
adine, and very many more hot weather
textiles. On utility suits and also on
not few of the more dressy costumes,
the new Norfolk waist is made with a
deep square yoke that fastens on the
left shoulder, and the graduated plaits
below the yoke are applied and not cut
in one with the waist.-N. Y. Post.

How Nature Builds ROckerfes.

The fact is. the rocllery, to be a sue
cess must be an evolution instead of a
creation Attempt to construct one
after any set plan and you are sure
to fail. The most satisfactory one | ever
saw was one that made itself. so to
speak. The stones of which it was COM
posed were hauled in winter and
dumped down carelessly in a great heap.
In spring the owner looked them over
and came to the conclusion that it
would be impossible for him to arrange
them in a more picturesque manner
and he had the good sense not to at
tempt it. He worked earth in between
them and planted wild vines and ferns
there, and his rockery was success.
If possible, a rockery should be located
in secluded portion of the grounds.
Rockeries as nature makes them are
generally in secluded hooks, where all
kinds of wild things feel at home, and
we should try to carry out as complete
ly as possible the idea of the wildness
which prevails in natures haunts-to
domesticate wildness, so to speak This
cannot be done satisfactorily where
the grounds are close to the street If
the grounds are too small to allow you
to give the rockery place at some dis
tance from the house, and you feel that
you must have one, plant trees or shrubs
so as to give it an air of partial seclusion
at least.-Eben E. Rexford, in Ladies'
Home Journal.

CIGARS AND THEIR MAKERS.
Each Havana Box Has Six Marks and
the Cigar Makers Have n Cinch.


'How many, l wonder" said dealer,
"have ever noted on every box of cigars
packed in Havana six distinctive marks ?
First there is the brand which is burned
in the upper side of the lid of the box
with an iron made for that purpose;
second, the label; third, the mark des-
ignating the size and shape of the cigars.
which is usually put on with a stencil;
fourth the color mark, which is also
put on with a stencil; fifth, the class
mark, and sixth, the mark usually put
on with stencil denoting the number of
cigars in the box.
There are not so many regular sizes,
or vitOlas, made in Havana as might be
imagined-21, l believe, is the whole
number of sizes-while all the cigars
made in Havana are separated into
three classes; some manufacturers di-
vide them into primera, or first, secunda,
or second, and tercera, or third; while
still other makers call the first class
flora, the second primera, and the third
secunda.
\ AS d StutIdl TulS, one workman
makes only one kind of cigar; for ex-
ample, one makes only londres, another
only regaRas, and so on. And when
man has become a skilled cigarmaker
he has things pretty much his own way;
if the crop has been a heavy one and
there is demand for labor, it is no un-
usual thing for a skilled worker to de-
mand from one employer 500 or so as
an inducement to work for him for
season, and then before his time is up.
to accept another 'inducement' from
another manufacturer for the balance
of the season.
''Not only this, but the workmen in
sist on having their wages paid to them,
first at nine O'Clock in the morning.
when they go 10 breakfast, then at noon,
and again at night. And not only this.
but each workman is allowed five cigars
day, and you may be sure they select
only the best ones" ."-Epicure.

ELECTRIC LIGHTING,
There Is Said to Be S5O0,OOO, 900 In
vested in This Country.

In the electric lighting field the total
capital invested in the United States
is given as over $5OO,0OO,OO0. The num-
Der of plants, public and private, is
over 10000, says an exchange. The num-
ber of motors in use is estimated at
about 100000, and their value at about
$100O0O,000. The electrical apparatus
used in mining is estimated at 500, 0,000,-
900, and the value of the electric ele-
vator industry will probably not fall
short of $15,000O00
The most important of all the cleo
trio industries, however, is that of cleo
tric railways. In this field the invest
ment is very great, and in the United
States is represented by capitaliza-
ton of over S700,OO0,OOO. The number
of trolley cars in use is now over 25, 900,
and these run over 10000 miles of track.
The electric railways represent more
than 80 per cent. of all the street and
suburban railroads of the country.
The aggregate Of all the capital in
vested in electric lighting, electric rail
ways and electric power is about ST.
100000, 900, and this does not include
the value of establishments that man
ufacture the machinery and apparatus.
AS many of these are among the largest
industrial enterprises in the world, and
as nearly all are concerns of consider
able magnitude, it is evident that their
combined capital will run up into large
fgures.-Detroit Free Press

A Warning to Cat kis.er..

1t must be a terrifying revelation to
those foreign ladies who kiss their cats
that has been made by Prof. Fiocci,
the Italian chemist. He has found by
experiment that when cat licks it's lips
it spreads over them a saliva in which
there are swarms of minute bacilli not
free from danger to human beings.
When he inoculated rabbits and guinea
pigs with this noXious substance, they
died within "a hours; and he has come
to the conclusion that it is dangerous
for ladies to indulge in the habit of
kissing their cats. We cannot conceive
of any lady indulging in it. By the pro-
fessor's experiments we learn, further,
that there are ladies in Italy who kiss
their lap dogs, a habit even more dan
gerous than the other. His analysis Of
the saliva of these beasts brought out
facts that are too repulsive to be spoken

THE SUICIDAL. MANIA.
Dissatisfaction with Ordinary Life
Is Too often the Cause.

One evening recently youth II years
of age ate supper with party of gay
young people in community not many
miles away. Then he went upstairs to
his room, loaded a Winchester rifle and
came downstairs, passing by the parlor
where young lady was playing the
piano. He remarked: 81 sho' like that
tune as he stepped out on the gallery.
He walked down the steps whistling
Jesus, Lover of My Soul
The next morning his aunt entered
his room and, finding his bed unrum-
pied, his hat and coat in the room and
the Winchester missing, she sent to the
neighbors' houses to inquire for him;
soon search party started out. They
found him lying under tree with the
Winchester upon his body, the muzzle
in one hand and in the other a stick with
which he had pushed the trigger The
top of his head was blown to pieces.
This is the third suicide in this fam
lily. All were young men. Two were

tender love for its heritage. They culti-
vate extravagant wishes and expensive
tastes until ordinary life is entirely too
