Indianapolis, May 24.-Calve sang to

WHERE IS LEwELL1NeP
His Presence at the State House so
Unusual as to Cause Comment.

The question is frequently heard at
the state house. What has become of
Lewelling''? When the Sedgwick coun-
quarters of the state board of railroad
commissioners it is 50 unusual that
news Of that event is telegraphed out
of Topeka to the various newspapers
having correspondents in this city.
Lewelling may not be violating the
law. which it is now claimed was fixed
to suit him, but he is neglecting his
duty as member of the railroad board,
and not only that but he draws his sal
airy regularly while spending nearly if
indeed not all of his time attending to
private business.

Primitive Hav,iian Homes,

The primitive Kanaka home is
made Of grass. There are many
grass houses left on the islands.
Surrounded by broad leaves, bana-
mas and blooming magnolias, they
are charming and picturesque. Here
the male inhabitants recine in the
shade throughout the heat Of the
day, while from the doorway peeps
forth the laughing eyed, dusky
maiden, shy, yet artful and coquet-
tish in her coyness. The home is very
simple, but at the same time neat.
The house is without any means Of
heating or cooking. The former is
never necessary, and all cooking ia
done in the imu, or pit dug in the
earth, where the pig, fish and beef
are baked with heated stones, while
the boiling is done in pots over a
campfire near the building.-Go-
dey's Magazine.

Poisonous Formulation.

The question Of the toxic qualities Of
perspiration, though not quite q new
one (inasmuch as NJ Berthelot at 70.
cent meeting Of the Paris Medical acad-
emy reminded his listeners that IL Afri-
canus can be believed the perspiration
gathered from q horse was used in an
cient times to render arrows poisonous),
has recently formed the subject of re-
search. Several experiments have proved
that human perspiration is toxic. A se-
ries Of guinea pigs and rabbits were
killed by inocalations Of perspiration
gathered from q flannel shirt worn by a
healthy young man after dancing CO.
tillon. A glove worn by lady who
danced vigorously through a ball was
utilized for inooulations with equally
deadly resulta NJ. Arloing's more re-
cent experiments show that perspiration
resulting from muscular exertion is
moro toxic than that consequent from o
vapor bath.-British Medical Journal

County Treasurer's Notice.

The board of county commissioners
have instructed me by resolution, to ac-
cept the face of delinquent Real Estate
taxes due the county for the year 1895
and all years prior thereto, if the same
are paid before January lst, 1893.
Unless the aforesaid taxes are paid by
the date named, the law requires the
county treasurer to proceed to collect the
same, with full penalty and interest ad-
ded.
Parties owing delinquent personal tax
es will not only save interest and penalty,
but heavy costs by paying what they owe
before January Ist.

The Art Of Trunk Packing.


A word from The American Woman's
Home Journal as to the manner Of pack
ing nice frocks in a steamer trunk:
It is well to consider the difficulty Of
getting anything pressed or put in
shape while at sea. It is impossible to
do 1t oneself, and the stewardess can
rarely spare the time, hence the more
carefully the packing is done the better
the appearance Of the American girl, II
she chance to appear at all The sleeves
Of the waists should be stuffed with
tissue paper. They should then be fold
ed across the back Of the bodice, pinned
together and turned back from cuff to
elbow on themselves After the waists
are neatly folded they should be pinned
in shape so that the spite Of the baggage
man may not result in their being un-
packed orumpled mess.
II the skirts arc too long to 6t in the
trunk, a roll Of tissue paper should be
placed at the fold to avoid q set Of
wrinkles across the center Of the gown.
Lawn or silk shirt waists are next pack
ed, and then comes additional under
wear. such as night dresses, fresh COZ.
set stockings, a black silk pettiooat
and corset covers-all plain, as washing
ON the continent is expensive and every
bit Of luggage is paid for by the pound.

LATEST IN WEDDING GOWNS.

LATEST IN WEDDING GOWNS.
ding gowns are more skillfully draped
than they have ever been, and the skirts
are almost covered with lace, often sup
plemented round the waist by row Of
orange blossom. Epaulets Of orange
blossom are also frequently employed,
while waist belts made of pearls and
flowers are one of the novelties Swans
down is likely to be much worn on brid-
al dresses as the season advances.
A gown prepared for a New York
bride is particularly novel and artistic
in design. It is composed Of white sat
in duchesse, the whole Of the long train
being edged throughout with a narrow
bordering Of myrtle flowers and bios
som. The beautiful founce Of brussels
lace on the skirt is most tastefu1ly drap-
ed and caught here and there with
punches Of flowers. The bodice is very
prettily arranged with q gathered yoke
Of the satin and a spray Of myrtle bios
som on one side.
The bridesmaids are to be dressed
alike in very pretty frocks Of white
muslin and valenciennes lace, quite sim
pie in style. but exceedingly effective.
The bodices and skirts are trimmed
with lace edged frills Of muslin, while
at the neck and waist are folded bands
Of satin ribbon in two shades Of cerise.
The BRIDES travelling dress and cloak
are made to match and are Of fawn COL
ored cloth, with trimming Of aocor-
dion plated leaf green silk and pretty
passementerie in which the harmonic
ing shades Of green and fawn color are
repeated with excellent effect. A blue

dress Of vieux rose silk, with white

ble for both day and evening wear. It
is in striped black and white silk and
is trimmed with black velvet and lace.
