HOW TO REPAPER A SHIRT.

Young men who wear shirt fronts
that are TOO loud to pass through a
laundry safely will hnd interest in a
paragl apn printed III recent issue
Oh the conege paper OF the Notre
Dame university, the Scholastic. 1t
appeared as an answer TO a question
submitted by student who had the
shirt front habit, and ii goes a long
way toward settling the veXing prob
lem. Here it is:
Doc. b.-Soak the shirt bosom i'll
warm water and the Wall paper may
be removed with ease. In repapering
the bosom use glue"
The student editors OF the paper
also take occasion to pass tenta-
lively on a question OF pronunciation
that has local significance, in this
way:
"CoXey-lt is pronounced Sout Chi
cago by the natives, so L suppose that
is the correct pronunciation. When
the WORD south is used III any other
connection, however, the tn Is always
pronounced
IN some portions OF south Chicago, it
is asserted, this style or pronuncia-
! con has been adopted Tor the sake of
euphony, and 1t also works saving
III spelling.

CONSUMPTION.

New York World:-Drs. Prudden and
Biggs, two of the most eminent bacter-
biologists in the world, tell us for the
third time in official reports that con-
sumption is a contagious disease, and
that it might be stamped out if the
board of health could be persuaded to
proceed against it with half the in
telligence and vigor that protect us
against other contagious diseases.
Consumption kills in this city more
people every year than cholera, yellow
fever, smallpox, typhus, diphtheria or
any other epidemic ever killed in any
year.

LATE FASHION NOTES.

White lace wells viii be worn with
walking hats all through the summer.
Only those that will wash are con-
sIdered quite correct.
The new plaid footwear is made of
{ lOvel fabric, four-fifths OF which is
spun silk and one-tifth wool 1t
neither shrinks nor fades and is very
durable.
The Old-style English barege is re-
IleVed in qualities almost as sheer as
grass cloth. Patterns of this material
are shown in new varieties and color
ings, and another pretty fabric is Turk
ism crepe in lovely summer tints.
Gold canvas is one of the features
of dress at Queen Victoria's drawing
rooms this season, and entire bodies
and the fronts of dresses are made of
this material, which is often made
more beautiful by little sprays of dia-
monds and pearls.
me English walking hat with the
brim rolled up little at each side is
brought out in great variety as to
shape of crown and kind OF straw;
the most stylish one of all is the
Panama, trimmed severely with black
wings and black rosettes.
Nearly every new dress OF thin ma
terial will this summer be made with
the airy outside fabric of the skirt
cut separate from It's silk, lawn or
dlmity lining. This may no. be as
substantial way as the old one but
the cite t of lightness is better at
tanned.

handsome wife OF the Spanish minis
ter, was exquisitely gowned in cadet

showing of to advantage her superb
figure. Her beauty is of the oriental
type, with fascinating almond shaped
eyes that take in everything.
Another beautiful woman present
was Nine. Emilio Lopez, one OF the
leaders of Spanish society in New
FORK, tall statuesque creature, with
a complexion of cream, and eyes like
stars. She was Respondent in silk

BEAUTIFUL ABOVE THE WAIST

The velvet waists that were so
handsome two seasons ago and that
were put on the market again last win
ter became promptly too common to
mold their place. Recently some stun
ming affairs on the same order have
been imported in satin, the sort of
satin that stands alone. Shocking
at the shoulders allows for stunning
tullness with cuff bands, and the neck
with band for collar. Large white
pearl buttons fasten down a plat in
front. The waist may be worn either
inside Or outside of the belt. The
shades that are being pushed are
those that became common in the
velvet, with a scarlet a little brighter
than ever, and green even more vivid.
The colors to choose, however, are to-
bacco brown, biscuit shade, an ivory
white OF black. A few satins with
little raised plain pin spots in con-
trasting color are especially exclusive.
Besides these waists there are
plenty more that assure the continu-
ance of fancy bodices and most Wo-
men are pleased at this. One was in vio-
let taffeta covered with mousseline de
sole laid in diagonal plaits that started
at the side seams and pointed to the
deep yoke, which was white satin
covered with spanish tulle. The
sleeves were covered with draped
chiffon and the girdle with dark green
merveilleuX for the sides and back, but
the front was lettuce green taffeta
draped with black chiffon, sprinkled
with green and black spangled butter
lies. Falling from each shoulder was
L jabot of dark green plated chiffon,
and the two shades Of green were en-
pioyed in the shoulder garniture of
the satni sleeves. Collar and belt
were rose and pink satin.

CAUSE OF BUSINESS DEPRESSION.

What impartial observer, studying
and realizing the enormity of the
crimes of dishonest capital and the
results Of blocking the channels Of
trade with giant monopolies can doubt
that this in itself is sufficient to ac-
count for the long-continued prostra-
ton Of the business Of the nation,
despite all that prodigal nature,
skilled and competent labor and in
ventiVe genius could do? The sin has
been of gigantic dimensions and the
penalty has been in proportion.

enters into the matter quite heartily.
Miss Fibbs now. enters, to begin the re-
hearsal. She is arrayed as Cinderella, and
is reciting very well, when she is inter
rupted by visitor, Miss Prudence Pinch
beck, who takes the strange object for a
real poor pupil who is being starved,
and otherwise ill-treated by the principal.
Under this impression, she hurries away
TO obtain assistance, perhaps from the
police. In the meantime, the play pro-
crosses, with many absurd interruptions
by Sarah Ann, who is always eating: by
Sophonisba Spivins, who is greatly ex-
cited over novel she is reading, and bv
Miss Jones and the French lady, who do
not quite understand what it is all about.
Finally, Miss Prudence Pinchbeck returns,
intending to arrest the principal. and free
poor starved Cinderella. The whole thing
is then explained, and the dress rehearsal
is considered a success.
The cast of characters was as follows:
Miss Jones, Principal of Grove Hall Academy.
