A DressmakinU Hint.

A pretty way to freshen white chif-
ion or organdie waist is to cut away the
entire portion that covers the upper
part OF the bodice and shoulders; stitch
ing the raw edges thus made to secure
them, then adding a new yoke top,
either of lace and insertion, all lace,
tucked India muslin, net, or shirrings
OF organdie alternating with rows of
RIBBON. Another effective method is to
add from the shoulder seams long sur
Pllce scarf ends laid in soft folds. Bring
these in diminuendo plaits to the waist
knot lightly; then let the sashes fall
undraped well over the skirt front. Add
wholly new sleeves that match in ma
terial and arrangement the style of the
fresh accessories put upon the waist

A. Dutch Doctor Thinks He Has Found
the Creature In Java.

A. Dutch Doctor Thinks He Has Founa
the Creature In Java.
DIR. Dubois has made an interesting
discovery in the island of Java. He
claims to have unearthed the bones of
Darwin's missing link, says the Pail
Mall Gazette. Pithecanthropus erectus
is the unassuming name with which
the doctor has seen fit to baptize this
tertiary ancestor of ours. Up to the
present the skull, thigh-bone and
one solitary tooth are all that have
been laid bare, but, according to Dr.
Dubois, these remains are sufficient to
prove that the Pithecanthropus erectus
was-as its name implies-in the habit
of walking erect like a man; that it
was about the same height as an ordi-
nary man; finally, that, owing to the
formation of the jaw, it (or, perhaps,
she" would be more correctly could ar
ticulate without difficulty. The doctor
concludes, therefore, that he has finally
solved a much-debated question, and
added fresh luster to the reputation of
the greatest naturalist the world has
ever seen = himself excepted. After
this the exploits of Prof. Garner in
Africa sink into insignifcance. We
suggest that he proceed Immediately to
Java and there join his Dutch colleague,
for, after Disappointing us so cruelty
over those gorillas, the least the profess
sor can do, in our opinion, is to en-
Tighten us on the Pithecanthropus
erectus. Meanwhile, we suppose it
would be unkind to hint that the Dutch
scientist may possibly have stumbled
upon the remains of what was at one
time fine specimen of a male orang.

HOW HE FOOLED HER.

The schooner was given him. Just
as he was about to drink it big man
came in and said: ''Hello, Shorty, who's
buying?"
II am" replied Shorty, with dignity.
"You," scoffed the big man, ''why,
you never had a cent in your life. Your
wife gets your wages"
''That's all right" said Shorty,

to-day"

EARLY THEOLOGICAL ZOOLOGY.
The Medieval I'm ri nation Played Gu
riol; ly wit. tho Pelican.

The MedreVai I'm "a ton Played Gu
riou ly Wit. tho Pelican.
Of marine animals the early Chris
tan plilcec@ hers new little, but nat
urally thc.s' lad heard of the whale and
found important meanings in him, says
Appleton's Monthly. One Of the les
sons taught by the whale is given as
follows: when he is hungry he opens
his wide mouth seward and a pleasant
odor issues from his NAV, SO that other
fishes are deceived and swim eagerly
toward the place whence this sweet
odor comes. In needless shoals they
enter into his extended jaws; then sud-
denly the grim gums close and crush
their prey. Thus the devil allures men
to their destruction and closes upon
them the barred gates of hell"
The medieval imagination played GU
riously about the pelican. A type of
the atonement was found in the sup
posed fact that the pelican tears open
it's breast and feeds it's young with its
own blood. New value was given to the
pelican by that great thinker St. Au-
gustine. Writing upon the passage in
the 102d Psalm--'T am become like q
pelican in the Wilderness says:
"The males of these birds are wont TO
kill their young by blows OF their bealls
and then to bewail their death for the
space of three days. At length, how
ever, the female inflicts severe wound
on herself and, letting her blood flow
over the dead ones, brings them to life
again"

the Situation.
This is a truthful little incident and
the point of the moral will not be lost
because names are omitted, says the De-
troit Free Press.
A petite and winsome young matron
entered street car with that inlmltable
breeziness characteristic of her kind.
Nc amount of torture could have in
duced a confession that she expected
from two to half a, dozen men to rise
in unison and offer her d seat, but the
look on her face when they did not do
so told the secret more plainly than
words could have done.
With her was little girl whose looks
fixed beyond doubt the relationship of
the two. Mamma was rather impatient
with the wrap which impeded her eff
forts to reach a strap. She looked about
her as though eagerly in search of
trouble and was the picture of scorn
while noting how many of the male pas
scngers were reading their papers.
The child leaned against her mother
and sighed YEARLY.
"Sha seems tired" said a pleasant
faced old lady, as she strolzed her golden
locks and caressed the blooming cheeks,
as pleasant-faced ola ladies always do.
''Not tired, but d.ggusted," answered
mamma, in crisp tones.
"Disgusted? Isn't she rather young

Cbe Price Of Tat11e.

r7ENF was a German farmer, but did
II no farm work. He was so prosper
Gus that he was able to sit out under
the shade OF the apple trees which grew
close to the porch of his house and talk
to Griest, his neighbor, who was re-
tired brewer, about Bismarck. This
was over Is years ago, and Bismarck
was most important parsonage to an
Illinois farmer who was a German and
who did not have to work very hard for
his living.
Zenf's house was quarter of mile
Lack from the road, which was the last
named street of the neighboring city.
1t was city of some $4,000 souls, which
made it small enough and compact
enough for Zenf to be on neighborly
terms with the post office and the ma
tiOnal bank. The house was quaint,
old, low-ceiled, roomy edifice, half hid
den beneath the climbing grapevines,
and entirely concealed from view of
passers-by on the street because of the
intervening shrubbery. Anoble orchard
OF great apple trees lay alongside the
farm, and sometimes Zenf and Griest
would go over under the apple trees and
talk about Bismarck, for change of To-
cation rather than a change of subject.
Zenf loved the farm and the orchard,
and of his family he made much, for the
two girls were very pretty and very
sweet, and Anton, the boy, was growing
up to be credit to him. He thought
he would die in the house under the
grapevines, and Mrs. Zenf thought so,
too.
One day man came to the city and
talked very much. He opened an office,
too, and hired other men from abroad to
come and help him talk. Then they got
out lot OF maps, and Zenf was amazed
