disadvantages in wind. The back ia almost fiat at the top, but sets out in folds at the hem. This particular skirt is silk lined. Many women consider this item an unnecessary expense for an outing gown, while others take the position that the lining of a water dress is apt to be much less of stranger to the company than the Things of it's more demure and decorous closet mates, and therefore it must be pre- sentable. Twovery narrow foot frills of navy blue silk are just set inside the hem. Their advantages are not dis puted even by women who frown down the silk lining; in whose absence, by the way, the bottom should be faced up with a more than commonly deep hem. The skirt is trimmed with black silk braid, worked in smart design on either side of the front at the waist and running up the seams from the bottom.
 The bodice is a vest of white poplin, cut to cross over in front and faster by the left side with six small gold but tons. It is edged with just line of gold braid. Heavy white silk would be an equally good material, while some tastes might prefer white flannel or, for the sake of coolness, white pique. A stock collar and tie constitute the throat finish, and at the waist comes broad belt of navy blue, white and pale blue ribbon. If it is not too late to say it, pale blue pique, instead of white, wouldn't make bad vest, but red should be avoided. There has been so much red of late that pretty soon there won't be any.
 With skirt and vest belongs sacque coat. The reefer is constitutional, but the sacque is newer, smarter and not less nautical It is long enough barely to cover the waist, and in the rousseau example I am talking about it is lined throughout with white silk, which Is turned back in front in square-cornered revers. The revers, it ought to be said very definitely, are cut in one with the fronts. The flat collar is trife mar rower than the revers and is faced with navy blue silk edged with white. Here again there is room for difference of opinion. Velvet might be used for the collar, but it is hot-looking stuff in sum mer. The sleeves are close-fitting ex- cept just at the shoulders They have silk cuffs edged with white top and bottom. If a blue vest were chosen in lieu of a white one the jacket finish ings might or might not be of blue also. A repeat of the skirt braid appears across the revers.

May He Had by Proper Exercise nm d
 Food.
 How frequently we hear the remark made, when a persons indisposition is spoken of: "Oh, he can't have much the matter with him. He eats well. and therefore he must be all right.' As a matter of fact, although good appetite is sometimes considered as test of the state of the health, it is not an invaria- ble test, for often those who are serious ly ill have good appetites. This is the case with many consumptives and oth- CTS, but person with bad appetite is not in good health-there is some thing wrong with him. Appetite and hunger are generally used synonymous ly, but hunger is more than appetite: It IS lmperious, but is allayed after eat ing. What is the best thing to do when the appetite wanes? The usual remedy is tonic; sometimes, we fear. it takes the shape of too frequent "nipss of gin and bitters, sherry and bitters or some other compound. For want of appe- lite the real remedies needed are often rest and sleep, together with fresh air. Overwork when feeble is a cause of loss of appetite. A change of food is good remedy; sometimes the regimen has not been varied enough, and the system becomes overburdened with one kind of material and another kind is deficient. An entire change of food may work wonders A change of scene, of thought and of environment are some of the best means to restore jaded appetite for food. Outdoor exercise, work, sea bath ing-all these have good effect and promote those changes in the body which make demand for food imper- ative. These remedies are all natural ones, and if rightly used can do no harm.-N. '. Ledger.

MADE A BAD SITTER"
Trouble of Artists with the Princess Of
Wales In Her Youth.

Trouble of Artists with the Princess Of
Wales In Her Youth.
When the Princess of Wales was q
young bride, she was constantly in re-
quest for sittings to portrait painters,
sculptors and photographers She was
not, however, a good "sitter. and used
to pout when compelled to endure the
tediousness Of sitting in studio. Mr..
Firth. the painter, was engaged to paint
q picture Of the prince and princess, and
he gives pleasant glimpse of his tribu-
lations with the Princess Alexandra.
The princess, says Mr.. Firth, was
very young and very beautiful, as all
the world knows. She graciously con-
sented to come to my house and to af-
ford me every assistance in the way Of
sittings for my picture.
The princess is also we'll known for
her kindness of heart. Oh, how that
heart would have ached if its owner
had realized the aching of mine when
I-too soon-discovered that the illustri-
Gus young lady did not know that keep
ing her face in one position for few
minutes even was necessary to enable
an artist to catch resemblance of it'll
The first sitting can ever forget? I
did not dare to complain till after two
or three fruitless attempts. With down.
right failure staring me in the face, I
opened my heart to the Prince Of Wales.
"You should scold her." said the
prince
Just at this time the princess was sit
ting for her bust TO the celebrated sculp.
tor Gibson, r. A., in room at MARI

prince, and before was admitted to an
interview l was shown into the sculp-

was already in an advanced stage. did
not think it was very like, and in reply
to Gibson said SO.
"Well, you see," said Gibson, "the
princess is a delightful lady, but she
can't sit bit.
AT that moment was summoned to
the prince, whom / found with the
princess, and saw, or thought saw, q
sort of pretty. smiling pout. eloquent Of
reproof and of half anger with me. The
prince had something to show me-pho-
tographs, think-and then he led the
way to Gibson, the princess and I fol-
lowing.
No sooner did we find ourselves in the
sculptor's presence than-after some re-
marks upon the the bust-the prince
said:
"How do you find the princess sit,
Mr.. Gibson?"
"Now," thought l, eff ever man
was in an awkward fix you are, Mr..
Gibson, for after what you said to me
few minutes ago you cannot in my pres
ence compliment the beautiful model on
her sitting"
The prince looked at Gibson, and
Gibson looked in dead silence at the
prince and then at the princess. Then
he looked again at the prince, smiled
and shook his head.
"There, you see, you sit properly nei-
Their to Mr.. Gibson nor to Mr.. Firth"

And then we all smiled, and Gibson
went OH with his work, the princess

Wal No Seaman.

"There is q great difference between
the seafaring man of today and of 90
years age" said the man of many voy-
ages. Formerly the seafaring man was
a sailor, full of energy and the spirit Of
adventure that was the particular charm
of Marryat's heroes, but now the man
who follows the sea for living, espe-
cially on one of the big ships, is moth
ing more than paint swab.
"This is not any fault of the men,
but because of the changed conditions
which have left no sailors work to do.
Cleaning ship is the principal employ
ment of the modern so called seaman.

Couldn't Hear the Music.

Colonel Burr of Virginia was q
mighty fox hunter and loved the sport
beyond words. He owned q fine pack Of
hounds. and, during the season, thought
of nothing but his hunters, his dogs,
and the weather. He was once enter
tanning an army friend from Texas,
whose ideas of hunting any animal in
volved the use of firearms, and who had
never seen a foxhound. He had been
with difficulty persuaded to go forth
one morning with the colonel and some
friends to q meet, and they were wait
ing impatiently for the hounds to take
the scent. Presently there burst upon
their listening ears the din Of 30 canine
voices in full cry. The colonel's eyes
cleaned, and, as he settled his feet in
the stirrups and stretched his arm to-
ward the yelping pack, he cried, ma.
jor, listen to that heavenly musicW
The major pricked up his ears for SEQ
ond or two and then replied, Il can't
hear q thing; those id dogs are max
ing such a noise" The colonel put his
spur savagely into his horses side and
dashed away, leaving his guest to his
own devices. San Francisco Argonaut.

Queen yictoris's Sunday.

Queen Victoria's Sunday is described
In recent number Of The Culver:
"After breakfast her majesty takes
turn round the grounds in her famous
donkey chaise, and then goes to morn
ing service. There it is customary for
the preacher to wear black gown and
to read from manuscript-that is, in
England, for in Scotland the rule is not
so strict. No personal reference to her
majesty in the preachers discourse is
admitted, pure gospel discourse, de-
livered as if the queen were not present,
being de rigueur. Many have tried to
evade these rules, but commands to
preach have not in these cases been re-
peated. The queen likes and enjoys a
plain, practical discourse, selected from
the lessons or gospel of the day, to occu-
py about 30 minutes in delivery. Cues
tions of the day, and, above all, poll
tics, must be entirely excluded. The
queen, when in residence at Windsor,
was won't to attend service at the beau
tiful st. Georges chapel, but for some
years past divine service has been held
in the private chapel which communi-
Gates with her apartments. The suit
and servants sit in tho body of the
chapel in order of precedence. The Sun
day service is at IL o'clock, and consists
of morning prayer, antecommunion and
sermon. The queens seat is slightly in
advance of the others and is still more
marked by the presence of small table
to carry her books. On this is carved a
radiant sun, with the words, Heavens
light our guide'-the motto OF the or
der of the Star Of India. At Balmoral

ing plays the organ, the singing being
led by some of the servants of the cas-

Grant a Natural Bushwhacker.

himself behind his paper.
When the car reached Twenty-thlrd

and glanced appealingly to the con-
ductor. He said nothing, however, and
the car sped OH up town as he turned
again TO his reading. At Forty-second
street he laid aside his paper and stared
steadily at the conductor from that
time until the car began to turn the
corner at Fifty-third street. Then he
got up, approached the conductor, and
asked in confidential tone, AREN'T

TEXAS HUMOR.
How . Legislators Joke Was Made Into
Law to His Surprise.

How . Legislators Joke Was Made Into
Law to His Surprise.
Every one knows that Phil Sheridan
said of Texas, IF / owned Texas and
hell, I'd rent Texas and live in hell"
Possibly out of respect for so great
man the Texan $ answer was suppressed,
but it was good just the same. He said
with great promptness, "Well, gin'r'l,
yer know a cuss alters will take up fe1
the place he cum frum."
The Texan has q strong sense of hui
NOR, and it manifests itself in other
ways than repartee. The legislator who
proposed that all trains running into
Texas should be detained for ten min
utes at the state line and required TO
whistle three times in acknowledgment
of the sovereignty of the state didn't
expect to be taken seriously. He wasn't;
but his colleagues thought it would be
such good joke on the railroads that
they made the suggestion law and for a
time religiously enforced it.
The Texas women have their share of
humor, and they can be sarcastic, too
as the following conversation between
and New Yorker at "a Washington ball
testifies:
"You are from Texas?' the New
Yorker said in very much the same tone
that he would have used had he asked
if she was from Hawaii or some other
remote place.

Lots of cowboys out there" he said,

SUGAR NOT INJURIOUS.
The Idea That 1t Destroys the Teeth Is
Ridiculed.


Ridiculed.
A writer III the Contemporary Re-
view devotes most of an article on
champagne to the popular idea that
govt is produced by the sugar contained
in that drink. The paper is mot a
medical paper. but the writer brings
forward considerable evidence to show
that champagne has nothing to do with
the production of govt, and in an aside
speaks of that other popular notion that
sugar destroys the teeth. He says:
"In confederation Of the fallacy of
the sugar and govt idea it may be men-
toned that the still more reprehensible
dogma, from a sanitary point Of view,
that sugar ruins the teeth is equally
false. Indeed, how the idea ever came
into existence is mystery, seeing that
the finest, whitest and strongest teeth are
found in the mouths of negroes brought
up on sugar plantations, who from the
earliest years upward consumed more
sugar than any other class of people
whatever. Those at all skeptical of the
value of this fact have only to look
around among their personal friends
and see whether the sugar eaters or the
sugar summers have the finest teeth,
and they will find, other things being
equal, that the sugar eaters, as rule,
have the best teeth. The only possible
way for accounting for this libel against
sugar seems to be by supposing that it
originated in the brain of one of our
economically disposed great-grandmoth-
ers at the time when sugar was 2 sbil'

children gratifying their cravings for
sweets at the expense of the contents Of

SAND SUCKERS.
Ola Huiks That Are Probably Utiiissd
In . New Industry,

Ola Huiks That Are Probably Utilissd
In New Industry.
AS the steamers pass along st. Clair
hats, between Lake Huron and Detroit
river, the passengers see numbers of old
nuiks anchored off in shallow water and
invariably ask the steward or one of the
deck boys what they are there for. The
answer always is given in eruff and
contemptuous tone, as if it were a fools
question:
They're sand suckers"
What's sand sucker?"
old tubs that suck up sand"
"How do they suck up sand?''
Then the oracle looks at you and
grins. He doesn't quite know whether
you're farmer yourself or are guying
him, and it takes great deal more
questioning to find out the fact that q
new industry has been found to utilize
ancient and leaky hulks that are not fit
to 60 to sea.
The bottom of Lake st. Clair and the
hats that surround IL are covered with
beautiful white sand, and these boats
60 out every morning, anchor in IA
vorable place near the channel, and
drop overheard large hose pipes of cam
vas or rubber, with iron tips, which
sink OF their own weight. Then they
set the pumps going and suck up the
sand, which brings good deal of water
with 1t, and is deposited in the bottom
OF the boat. The sand sinks, and the
water rises to the surface and returns to
the river through holes pierced for its
accommodation. Thus, before sunset
the matches are filed with pure, clear
sand at nominal cost, which is I'M
loaded on the docks at Detroit and sold
for building purposes.
In early days there was O community
of Frenchmen who made business of
gathering this sand and hauling it to
the city, but they had to work very
hard because of their ignorance Of by.
draulics and their lack of boats. They
poled and rowed up fiatboats, which
they would fill by jumping overheard
in shallow water and shoveling in the
sand. They would work month with
the water up to their waists and not get
as large cargo as a modern sand sucker,
operated by two men, can pick up in a
single day. Chicago Record
