FASHIONS FRiLLS AND FANClES.

Jet has returned to popular favor and
jetted nets and gauzes will be much
worn for evening gowns. Jetted laces
and pendant trimming will also be
prominent features in the garniture of
handsome toilettes.
The strictly modish sleeve is small
and close fitting, with the epaulet as
an indispensable adjunct, These epau-
let's grow smaller and smaller, some
times consisting only of diminutive
ruffle or tiny ruche Of chiffon.
Capes as fashionable wrap were in
irequisition last year on account Of the
huge sleeves then in vogue, but with
the diminished size of the sleeve these
have been relegated to obscurity ex'
cept for elderly women. The jacket will
be the winter wrap par excellence.
For some tine past our fashion mod
els have shown a striking likeness te
those of the early Victorian era, and
this fall this is peculiarly noticeable
in the models for skirts. Some of the
new skirts have slight train, but these
will not become popular for ordinary
street wear. The bellshape Az yards
wide is first favorite, stiffening is con
spicuous by it's absence, and genera
clinging effect is seen in all the bet
ter class of skirts.

A HISTORY LESSON.

After 1895 the flag of the colonies had
is stars and as many stripes until 1918,
when the stripes were reduced to 10
again, with as many stars as states.
In 1891 Vermont was admitted into
the union, the name vermont" being
word of French derivation, meaning
green mountain" The state of Mis-
sissippi was admitted into the union
in 1917, Illinois in 1918 and Alabama in
1919. In 1920 the district of Maine,
long attached to Massachusetts, though
separated from it geographically, was
admitted as an Independent state.
William Henry Harrison, ninth pres
adent of the United States, was born in
Charles City county, Va, in 1878. His
father was Benjamin Harrison, gov
ernor of Virginia. He was educated at
Hampden-Sidney college. He entered
the army as ensign in 1891, and was aid
re-camp to Gen. Wayne in his campaign
in Ohio. He was afterward secretary
OF the Northwest territory, delegate in
congress, the first governor of Indiana
territory and superintendent of Indian
affairs. His death took place in 1s41.
There were four candidates for the
presidency of the United States in
1924, Crawford, Jackson, Adams and
Clay. No one of these got majority
OF the electoral vote, and the duty of
electing president devolved upon the
house of representatives.. John Quincy
Adams, of Massachusetts,, was chosen.
Fr~r
The administration of Adams was a
stormy and unpopular one. He was
extremely honest and faithful. but. like
his father, John Adams. he had no gift
for winning friends. He could MOI
bend to the people. His cold manners
end his disregard for the opinion of
others made him enemies who succeed
ed in preventing his reelection.

Lightning struck Melons.

One day recently lightning struck an
angle OF fence on the farm of Joseph
R. johnson, near Farmingdale. N. T..
The fence was on one side of field of
cantaloupes. The melons were large
and just beginning to get ripe. A few
days after the thunder storm Mr..
JOHNSON noticed that the vines were
dying and made an examination Of the
plants to discover the cause of the sud-
den change in appearance OF portion
of the field, containing about one-third
Of an acre. After inspecting several
vines and melons he discovered a small
hole in the latter on the side nearest
to the fence where it had been struck
by lightning few days previously. All
the melons on the dead vines had small
holes in them, proving conclusiveiy that
they were struck and blighted by the
same bolt that had shattered the fence.

time he had about concluded to abandon
the search when he met the couple on
the C. & o. railway track. They had
gone forth in search OF the minister.
All parties concerned being ready for
business, the marriage ceremony was
begun while they stood upon the rail-
road track. The preliminaries were
gone through with and the clergyman
was getting well along into the solemn
services when through freight train
came laundering along. The cere-
monies were suspended, and the party
got Off the track and climbed up on a
fence to wait till the train had passed.
After the last car and the caboose had
sped by the party came down from their
perch, when negotiations were again
opened and proceeded with till both per-
sons had plighted their troth, each to
the other, the benediction was said and
the bride and groom went on their way
rejoicing.
1t was only through the heroic per-
severance of the minister that the matri-
monial union was consummated. If the
minister did not receive big fee he de-
served it and medal besides.

DELICATE PIECE OF WORK..
English Alphabet Engraved ON the
Head of . Pin.

English Alphabet Engraved ON the
Head of = Pin.
Frank j. Mollenhauer is perhaps the
most expert engraver in New York, If
not in the world. In delicacy of touch
and skill in handling delicate instru-
ments his work is something marvellous.
His latest achievement was to engrave
the 26 letters of the alphabet on the
head Of pin. Under a magnifying
glass the letters are clear and distinct,
and each is as perfect as any ever en-
graved for visiting card or wedding
invitation. But with the naked eye the
minute letters are merely scratches
which have no discernible form.
Mollenhauer's work was the result
Of an attempt to beat the work of man
who had engraved the Lords Prayer on
threeeent piece. A number Of Off
Gals of the West Shore railroad were
speaking of this recently, and the belief
was expressed that this achievement
would never be surpassed. The CONVEX
sation reached Mr.. Mollenhauer, and he

set about doing something better, and
the alphabet on pin head is the result.
Mr.. Mollenhauer, says the New York
World, is general commercial engrav-
er. His Worship is at No. 1872 East One
Hundred and Twenty-ffth street. He
served an apprenticeship Of six years
under II. Fl. Hept, of No. II Nassau
street. He is 23 years. old, is of German
parentage, and was born in Jersey City.
Experts connected with the Spencer
Optical company who have seen the en-
graved pin pronounce it remarkable
pkce Of work, and it is generally agreed
that the work of putting the Lords
Prayer on three-cent piece has been
eclipsea.

Never before in medical annals has any
medicine received such widespread praise and
endorsement from physicians, druggists and
all classes of the people as is bestowed upon
the great curer of disease, DR.. Greene's Nerv-
ura blood and nerve remedyt 1t purifes and
invigorates the blood, making pure, rich, red
blood, and it is therefore the grandest of blood

backache, neuralgia, rheumatism, and has thus
demonstrated itself to be the surest and quick
est pain reliever in existence. 1t cures stomach,
liver, kidney and female complaints with a
positive certainty which Is unequaed and I'M
rivaled, and which.has caused weak, nervous,
tired out, sleepless, run down and debiitated

AN ANSWER EXPECTED.

Great Britain May Come Into Bi-detallic
Conference, Though Capitalists Oppose
It.
London. July PA definite answer
is expected from the British govern
ment within the next few days to the
nroposal of the United States and
France for a bimetalic conference.
The United States bimetallle com
missioners are confident that the invl-
tation' will be accepted; but the move
ment meets with the solid opposition
of British capitalists, who argue that
the British financial system is satisfae-
tory and that the government should
not be called upon to assist other gov
ernments that may be in distress. The
only argument which weighs with them
in favor Of a conference is the fear that
unless international action is taken for
the coinage Of silver the free silver
partv win succeed in the United States
and bring on a financial panic, in which
British investments would suffer.

men jhave quit work within the last
three days. The mines that are idle
now are: Robinson. at Coalburg, 100
msen; East Bank, 25 men; Belmont, rs
nfen; Black Cat, or Kanawha Splint,
so men; Chesapeake, $50 men; Mont
Egomery, go men; Straughton, 20 men.
The general feeling is that the strike
is practically over in the Kanawha
Valley, as the strikers are slowly re-
turning to work.
A meeting of the coal diggers in the
vicinity Of Montgomery was held at
that place to-day to discuss the strike
situation. After mature consideration
it was decided that it was to the in
terest of all to go to work Monday
morning, and remain at work until
the Norfolk & Western miners come
out. 1t is believed that their action
will cause all the strikers in the Kan
awha valley to return to work.
