Electricity and naiky norse..

One of the recent extensions of the use of electricity is in conquering a balky CT lazy horse \ western Penn sylyania gentleman owned a horse which he said was worth Sl, GOO, pro- yided he could cure him of baking. It wss suggested that lie try electricity. He purchased q three volt storage bat tery and connected it by wires with the bit and the erupper The battery was placed in the road cart to which the horse was attached. At first the horse refused to move but stood with all four feet braced. Then the owner touched the button connected with the battery. When the horse felt the shock. he snort- ed, jumped and began to move off at a lively pace. Every day for week he was given the same lesson. His owner, who does not care to sell him, declares that now he never balks, bites or kicks Tho West Pennsylvania Humane so- ciety, which investigated the method, came to the conclusion that q small amount of electricity used upon horse was more humane than whip. -Ex- change

Lining n skirt PronerIr.

All the new gowns are made with silk
Innings, but the outer part is not joined
to the under, except just at the waist

each seam. One or two gowns lately
finished have the outer part and the
lining caught together where the facing
is put on; but this is a dangerous expert
ment for any but a very smart seam.
stress to undertake. The underskirt
must be faced up quite a distance with
stir interlining, and must have steel
across the front breadth, slipped into
the hem. The outer skirt should also
be stiffened with canvas or crinoline,
but not made too stiff. A very old fash
ion has been revived, that of weighting
down the underslirt with shot, which is
supposed to hold IL down and prevent
its ever flying away from the under
skirt. There is absolutely no fullness
in the skirts around the stomach and
hips, and the fit can be regulated by
darts. Having the front breadth very
narrow at the top. and one or two darts
over the hips, with the fullness gath
cred into a very narrow space at the
back, makes a very smart skirt, but
there is evidently a determination TO

tier from Captain Taylor, president
the Naval War college, upon the
Iect of the naval militia. The war
ege last August took this matter
Ter consideration at the direction Of

pit is a compendious statement Of
fields Of usefulness and proper

GERMAN COURT BALLS.
The Waltz Is stiu Danced nt the
COurt of Stuttgart.

The waltz rs stilI Danced nt the
COurt of Stuttgart.
A few years ago the minuet and the
gavotte were the special dances of the
Berlin court, the kaiser himself having
taken a special fancy to them. Some
how they did not find much favor in so
ciety, as young people prefer waltzing,
and, after all, the old-fashioned dances,
like q good many old-fashioned habits,
are all very we'll when the actors are
dressed in the clothes of the period and
resemble in mode of thought and car
riage of body their great-grandparents.
But few young people are like their
forefathers. There was some reason for
the introduction Of q fanciful and pic
turesque dance at the grand festivals of
the imperial court, especially as very
special rules prevailed there. It is well
known that the late Kaiserin Augusta
strongly objected to Waiting, and so
does the court of Berlin. The conse-
guence is that kind of gallop was in
vented for Berlin two-timed move
ment, danced to the music of the waltz,
but not at all resembling the old deux-
temps waltz. In Mecklenburg the waltz
is never danced at all at court, the rea-
son for this being, as it is said, that the
Grand Duchess Marie does not like dane
ing. Moreover, almost everywhere at
German courts the slow waltz was
looked down upon as bad style. Good
style depends upon the leaders Of fash
ion, and so the slow waltz has been pro-
nounced as the correct kind to be
danced at the court Of Stuttgart this
winter. Both the queen and her step
daughter are very fond of waltzing;
her majesty has ordered that the waltz
is to be danced slowly at the court balls
now, as is the custom il Vicnna.-Lon-

Feminine Dispositions Revealed by
Methods OF Handling Them.
Two men who sat near the window of
q downtown hotel few days ago whiled
away the time by watching the women
60 by and commenting on their umbrel-
las
The storm had abated about an hour
before and the sun had peered through
rift in the clouds, but for all that the
first pedestrian went stalking past with
her umbrella still held aloft.
THAT woman" said one Of the men,
sis as patient as Job. She is not a stu
dent, absent-mindedly poring over book
lore, but q housekeeper who is so taken
up with thoughts of what she is going
to get for supper that she doesn't know
il has stopped raining. People who for
get to lower their umbrellas when the
sun begins to shine always are. That
girl just behind her who has already
taken time to fold her umbrella neat
ly, even though it is soaking wet, is
going to be an old maid. She is narrow
minded, too. The next one has bound
the folds down, but it looks uneven and
bulging. That woman's children will
always look dowdy, but she win nurse
them successfully through innumerable
attacks of Group and rash, and no fam
lily in town will have better things to
eat.
THAT short woman with her UNI
brella Hopping this way and thatwill al
ways be poor, because she will give
away everything as soon rs she gets
it. Hers isn't altogether q commend
able generosity, either, for it is caused
more by lack of power to say no than
by an inherent desire to help her fell
low-creatures. That dark woman with
the tip of her umbrella trailing down
ward and backward at an angle of 45
degrees is malicious. wouldn't trust
her out Of my sight. She'd say some
thing mean about me the first chance
she got. The one who carries her UNI
brella swung carelessly over her shoul-
der is happy go-lucky individual who
will always have a good time, not be-
cause she earns it, but because the
world owes it to her, and she is going
to have her rights.
do you see that woman who holds
her umbrella at right angles to her
body and sticks the sharp point ahead
like bayonet? She's one Of the kind
that sets the world afre. She has more
energy in a minute than most people
| have in a year. A woman who swings
her umbrella as she walks is prone
to dilly-dally-she never knows her own
mind, and no difference how well she
may pretend TO like a person, if an
other speaks i'll of him in his absence
she will generally side in with the
calumniator. At any rate she will say
nothing in his defense. She who trails
her umbrella along in her wake is un-
tidy and inclined toward low princi-
pies. The one that holds the stick up
right and keeps tapping it on the pave
ment every little while is q good person
TO tie to; she has strength and honesty.
There comes n woman carrying her
umbrella under her arm. She's my wife
and won't say anything about her"
His companion looked at the little
mans wrinkled, perplexed face and
smiled. He fancied he knew what the
verdict would have been had the wom-
