DICTATES OF FASHION.

Beige colors and all shades of drab
have caught the popular fancy at last.
Paris is tired of the outspread skirt
ard already there is looming in the
distance the clinging, dragging pattern
of picturesque and untidy memory.
Velvet flowers are in favor at the
present moment and Ohlias and chrys-
anthemums are cleverly copied and
make beautiful decorations for ball
gowns.
The new blouse, with short basques
drawn in round the waist, with a hand
some belt of gold or silver gallon set
with cabochons or else belts of gold
smiths work set on velvet, with beauti-
full buckles or clasps, is made in velvet
plush or mirror velvet, richly trimmed
or in wooden material broche with two
colors.
Partisan blouses show the minute
tucking which seemingly cannot be
done outside the French capital. One
handsome blouse made for royalty Is
Of red surah, with rows of tucks and
plain pieces between in lengthwise
lines. Others are made with tucked
spaces across and some have a deep
folded piece over the belt which may be
stylish, but is not becoming.

Sweet Cupid sat on messy bank
With a tear in his round blueeye,
His wings were draggled with silver dew,
And his culver and bow flung by.
The butterflies came from the garden near
And perched on his dimpled toes,
And honeybee slipped at his crimson lip
And thought 1t an opening rose.
mot an arrow went to its mark to-day,
l wasted them all" he sighed.
"My wings and my curls too well they
know,
So the men and the maldens hide.
My mother must clip my pinions close,
And must braid my locks of gold,
And I'll borrow a frock of damsel fair
My roseate limbs to fold"
So now no more in the flowery field
Or the wood where the thrushes sing
Do we hear the patter of naked feet
Or the sweep of an airy wing.
He has stolen the gown of a pretty girl,
And her hat with its dropping plume
And a cluster of velvety viOlets blue
From his breast to shed perfume.
He has donned her veil with its broidered
edge,
And her gloves of the palest gray.
And hides his bow in her fluffy fan
Before he goes out to STAY.
He has clipped his wings and braided his
curls,
But beware of his roguish eyes,
For SLY little Cupid is still the same
In spite of his new disguise.

An ArcnaeoIOgIcaI TnIeT.

1t would seem that French thieves
and housebreakers, when searching for
art treasures, are more or less affected
by the genius of their spoils. Recently
an enterprising but undiscovered per-
sonage managed to effect an entry in
to the Maison Caree, at Mines, and to
carry off the famous Goddard collec-
ton of over 5000 Roman coins. In
stead of rushing off with them to the
melting pot, he seems to have wan
dered about the other interesting relics
of antiquity, for which the old provin-
cial city is famous; and, after some hes
itation, selected the immediate neigh
borhood of the Tourmagne-that still
unexplained enigma of the PASTOR
a hiding place. The spoiler of the
Maison Caree, in his choice, seems to
have leaned to the views of those ar
chaeologists who maintain that the
Tourmagne was a treasure house in
Roman or pre-Roman times. At any
rate, he used it as such, for the whole
collection was found stored away
there, and has now been once more
replaced in its usual and accessible
show cases.-N. Y. Times.

BICYCLING GOSSIP.

The attaches of the Chinese legation
in Washington are taking to cycling,
but they have not adopted the recog-
nized wheeling costume. They ride in
their native dress and use ladies wheels.
Ball bearings were invented by John
Wyatt, of England, In 1850. At that
time nobody believed that balls were
any good for bearings, and Wyatt's
invention was allowed to lie dormant
for 100 years.
Prince Ludwig Ferdinand of Bavaria
is an enthusiastic wheelman, and it is
owing to his influence that cyclers in
Bavaria have obtained many alterations
in the police rules and regulations in
their favor.
One of the wonderful things lately
evolved by the cycling inventor is road
map printed on a long roll of paper,
which is wound upon two drums in
front of the rider, and may be unwound
by slight movement, so as to show
the route as he pedals along.
The new cycling regulations in Paris
make the use of brakes compulsory. So
it should be everywhere, Two-thirds of
cycling accidents are due to the alb
sence of brake. Back-pedaling is all
very well on the level, but when 60

SAVING A DROWNING PERSON

stroke can learn in half an hour to
turn and swim on his back, and he VIII
find it much easier and more restful
than the ordinary method. Indeed, he
will find that he can keep himself afioat
merely by padding gently with his
hands, allowing his legs to lie entirely
still.
In effecting a rescue the drowning
person should turn or be turned on his
back, and the swimmer should grasp
him lightly at the back of the neck with
one hand. Both should lie as deep in the
water as possible. and the swimmer can
then propel himself with his feet and
one hand. Of course. this method would
not work where the drowning person
was frantic with fright, although if
such a person can be sustained until he
becomes unconscious he may then be
easily towed to safety. Next time you
are in swimming try this method with
some other boy acting as the drowning
person. You will be astonished TO see
how easily he may be dragged through
the water.-Chicago News.

PRODUCTS OF GENIUS.

Bicycle pedals are being fitted with
magnetized plates to attract plates on

Fowls can be carved more easily by
new device, consisting of clamp which

A new wrench, which locks the jaw
onto the nut, has a lever lying parallel
with the handle which can be raised or
lowered to set the jaw, with toothed
projection which fits in a recess in the
handle to hold the lever after the jaw
is set.
To fasten the mouths of paper bags
a new device is formed of strip Of
pliable metal of length sufficient to
elbow of the ends being folded over to
hold the strip in place after it has been
pressed together to clamp the edges of
the bag mouth.
Gloves can be readily fitted to the
hand by a new device, which has a
resilient measuring tape arranged In
loop form, with the ends loose, to slide
in an indicator, and measuring plate,
upon which the fingers lie when the
hand is fitted in the loop.
