The Blouse Bodice.

One thing pointing to new lease of life for the blouse bodice is that this style favors the fancy for what is known as slashing-an effect much employed by both ladies' tailors and dressmakers. A handsome model just completed-mak- ing one of half dozen gowns included in a very pretty trousseau-is of soft fawn colored cloth lined with green and gold shot taffeta The blouse bodice is Mashed from the waist upward for some distance, perhaps nine inches, and re- yeals green satin bodice beneath. This is striped horizontally with narrow gold braid. The blouse is cut out rather low and rounding in the neck, with a guimpe of the braid striped satin showing above The close sleeves, made with a full short puff at the top, are also slashed to show satin interstices. Judiciously carried out, this now familiar form of deeora- ton proves very effective and, strange to say, has never become sufficiently popular to become in the least hackney ed Inch wide bands of brown fur were used to outline the edges where slash ings were made on the gown just de- soribed.

 Under these circumstances we took our first drive down Piccadilly, and Europe to me dates from that moment, ' writes Miss Lillian Bell i'll The Ladies' Home Journal. ''The ship, the landing, the custom house, the train, the hotel-- all these were mere preliminaries to Europe, which began then. People told me in America how my heart would swell at this and how would thrill at that, but it was not so. My first real thrill came on me in Piceadilly. It went all over me ill little shivers and came out at the ends Of my fingers and then began once more at the base of my brain and did it all over again.
 II remember nothing definite about that first drive. I, for my part, saw with unseeing eyes My sister had seen it all before, so she had the power of speech Occasionally she prodded me and cried, Look, oh, look quieklyi' But I never Swerved l can't look If do, I shall miss something You attend to your own window and I'll attend to mine, Coming back will see your side.

 ""Then go back precisely the same way.
 Have you lost something, miss2' he inquired.

 We did it all over again that after. noon, and that second time l was able in a measure to detach myself from the hum and buzz and the dizzying effect of foreign faces, and l began to locate impressions.

A Plucky Maine Woman.

Mrs. Ada NJ. Cole Is new woman of whom Maine is proud. She went out for Q constitutional cne morning, track ed q deer over miles of Maine wilder uess, shot him and dragged him hotne by the leather thongs of her belt.
 Mrs. Cole often takes her rife and gees out for walk in the neighborhood of her home at Gilead With small game she is always successful and mucL nas fallen to her shot. But the other morning when she saw great deer tracks leading over tho wooded heights of South mountain she felt an irresistible impulse to follow.
 So she did. She followed and fol. lowed Finally over the top of a swell in the mountain she saw him acc feet from her. She raised her heavy repeat ing rife and shot. The bullet entered his neck, and he dropped behind 3 dump of bushes.
 Between Mrs. Cole and her home lay a mountain and many miles. But she couldn't t leave her deer. She slid him town the mountain on which she had killed him, across the valley and up the next mountain.
 She was tired though a very proud being when finally her prize was at home and her husband ceased rocking their 3-year-old child to come and ad- mire it.

CARE FOR EMPLOYEES.
The Plan Which a Large Manufacture
 Found Successful.

The question, What is to become ol the old man?" IS one that is frequently discussed. Generally 1t is meant to ap. ply to men who have not been able to save sufficient money te support them in their declining years and whose eco. homie efficiency has become impaired by the passing of years To be depend. ent upon their children or relatives IS humiliation that would imbitter that part of their lives which should be free from care The almshouse is horror of degradation from which they shrink In some countries the governments have endeavored to solve the problem by a system of labor pensions This is done ip Germany; but, despite it's merits, if still savers of charity or paternalism.
 A few individuals have sought for a solution Ill this country. In at least ons community the employer of 1000 men insures the lives of all his workmen uE to $3, 900, and after 25 years of continu. ous service an employee may retire and continue to draw full wages as long as he lives To do this the employer says that 1t costs him not over per cent of his wages account, which he regards as the cheapest possible insurance against strikes and against the disturbance caused by constantly changing his work ing force. He puts by every year that small percentage of his profits to the ae- count of wear and tear upon labor, just as he does a larger percentage to the ac- count of wear and tear upon machinery. He is an earnest advocate of national labor pension and insurance system-not by the government, but by an associa- tion of employers. New York Mail and Express

Some Queer Things.

There is no need to send for .
physician when you are cramped for
money! 1t looks queer, but the best
man at a wedding isn't the one who
gets married! Whiskey may be fifty
cents or dollar drink in Alaska, but
the ice is thrown in for nothing. Two
fools and two handkerchiefs are the
only ingredients necessary to COM
pound silly Irritation. When she
says they are engaged and he says
they are not, it often takes a jury to
decide who is right! When it's HIM
self, man says he has accepted a
position; when its about another man,
he says he's found job. There is
said to be something cOnsoling for
every i'll in this life. For instance, il
a man is baldheaded his wife can't
pull his hair! Don't laugh at girl
because she can't hit the side of a barn
with a brick-you may marry her
some day and then you'll be glad of it !!
Bad men never get buried in grave
yards. If you don't believe this 60
out to the cemetery and read the
inscriptions on the tombstones.-

Married a King.

The Countess of Edia, the only
American woman who ever married q
king, is reported to be dying in the
Chateau of Cintra, near Lisbon. An
account says: In 1862 she married
morganatically to King Ferdinand of
Portugal, husband of Queen Maria de
Gloria of that country. The Countess
was originally Elsie Hensler and was
born in Boston in 1886. After sing
ing at the Park street church in Bos-
ton she was sent to Europe to be cdu'
Gated for the operatic stage. Her
European debut was made ut the
Royal opera house in Lisbon. King
Ferdinand saw her and immediately
fell in love with her. He asked her to
marry him and she consented. King
Ferdinand's son, King Luis, was then
the actual ruler OF Portugal. The
latter's wife, Queen Maria Pia, at
tended her fatherin-law's wedding ard
kissed the American bride. King
Ferdinand obtained for his wife the
title of Countess of Edia. The king
was devoted to his wife and they lived
an idyllic existence. This idyl came
to an end thirteen years ago, when
King Ferdinand died. Ever since that
time the countess has lived in retire
ment at her palace. She is visited by
all the members of the royal family,
by whom she is greatly beloved and
respected for they recognize how fine
and good her influence has always
been. She is treated by them exactly
vs if she had been born to the purple
instead of in Il little cramped brick
house in Pleasant street, Boston. The
countess has two sisters living in
Brookline, Mass, and has corresponded
with them regularly. They are quiet,
unassuming women and but few know
that they are sisters to the wife of a
king.

" F0UR-TUNE" CARPET.
A Phras c Used in Japan Where Weaving is Set
to Music

At Sakai, aoout half 4 dozen miles
from Osaka, and some other towns in
Japan, where carpets rugs and fabrics
o1 the same class are manufactured.
there are no large carpet factories,
but hand looms may be seen in nearly
every house. The weaving is set to
music. The children are taught to
sing sort OF nonsense verse to Ger
tain tune, the Superintendent or hard
worker leading, and that air means Il
certain PATTERN, the deft fingers of the
little workers rhythmically following
the notes. At the right moment the
woman IN charge of loom huns
new tune, and the little ones instantly
take it mp and as quickly change the
pattern to suit the music. 1t is con-
scqucntly quite correct to speak of
these productions as a cone tune"
two-tune" or four-tune" carpet, etc,
as the case may be.
The children kneel at their work
upon plank at the end of the loom,
and each of them slides backward and
forward along it according to the space
occupied by their allotted portion OF
the pattern. The actual workers are,
for the most part, children of from Z
years of age upward, and from two to
four, five or even six work at a single
loom under the direction of an adult,
generally 4 woman. Some 5000 boys
and over 1900 girls are thus en-
ployed. The children work twelve
hours day, and each earns about a
penny in that time. Three of them
can, ii expert hands, complete an ordi-
narp rug, say six feet by three feet,
and made of colored hemp or wooden
yarns, in day. a silk rug OF the
same dimensions. however, would oc-
cupy the same workers for from 50 to
100 days.

ODDITIES.

The tongue of full grown whale
measures 90 feet in length.
The longest plant in the world is
the seaweed. One tropical and sub
tropical variety is known which, when
it reaches its full development is at
least 5000 feet in length. Seaweed
receives its nourishment from the air
and mineral matter held in solution in
the sea water.
Some cast-iron cannon balls were
recently recovered from the sea near
Brest. They have been under water
for over 100 years. They could be cut
with q knife, great part OF the iron
having disappeared. Exposed to the
air, the interior became quite hot, OF
course, losing the heat in short time,
after the oxygen of the air had ceased
to act upon it.
A Delaware inventor has designed a
bell attachment for cyclometers, which
