BUSTLE'S REIGN ON.
DAME FASHION DEGREES THAT THEY
MUST BE WORN. #..

There is No Longer Any Doubt That
Women Are to Wear "Improvers"-
Form Makers In AL shapes and Sizes Are
on Sale I'm All Shepc.
The long discarded hustle is again to
reign and to cause the outlines of wo-
men to take on strange curves and
angles. The hustle is already among
those present" at least SO say the inner
cult of dressmakers and buyers of the
stores where women go to see and learn
the styles
The hustle department. which was
abolished when these form makers
went out OF style some years ago. has
been re-establisned in the great retail
stores, and the Saleswomen who pre-
side over them are kept busy showing
their wares and assuring their custom
ers that they will be worn.
Queer shapes and varieties of this
woman's adornment are hanging on
walnut-wood trees" like new and
strange grated fruits. There are small
modest bustles of curled hair, made in
the shape Of crescents, which are SO
unassuming and shy that they shrink
behind their Haunting silken sisters
that are as large as soft pillows

New Letter-writins idea.

A woman who, like most women,
didn't believe in postal cards, but who,
also, like most women, uses them just
the same, sat down the other day for
the purpose of indting one to her fam
lily. With ones family one may al
ways take liberties, and, besides, she
had very little to say. By the time
the woman had come to the end Of
the postal card, however, she discov-
cred that she hadn't said her say
Automatically she picked up another
postal card, just as she would another
sheet Of paper and proceeded upon
her epistolary way. That finished,
she indited third.
Not until she had begun the fourth
card did the woman realize what she
was doing. Then it didn't seem worth
while to render all her previous efforts
null and void, so she just put the iden-
teal address upon each card and num-
bering them in order, mailed the
batch.
Since then the woman has become
devoted to the scheme, and often
makes use of it. Even her family
have become reconciled to the postman
delivering whole deck Of cards in
stead Of the single one, as formerly
The woman calls it continuous pos
tai performance"

A CHINESE BRlCKLAYER.
dts Name Is Lee Chang and He is a Credit
to Ikis En- Iloyer.

dis Nnme Is Lee Chang and He Is Credit
to Ikis Employer.
Philadelphia has Chinese brick
layer. His name is Lee Chang and he
is real credit to his employer. Chang
works for Edward Clayton, a West
Philadelphia contractor, and there is
very little about a building that he
can't do. Although Changes method
of working is rather peculiar, he is,
nevertheless, active and artistic. OF
course, he is the victim of no end of
Jokes and sarcasm, but he takes every
thing good-naturedly. The ambitious
Celestial started to work for Mr.. Clay
ton about three years ago, and ad-
vanced SO rapidly that he was able to
compete with any of his brother work
men after serving two and a half years
as an apprentice. Chang is especially
talented in turning arches and
building corners, going as high as ten
courses" at a time without trying the
plumb rule. His fellow workmen Of
ten take delight in rushing" him on a
rough wall, but the agile Chnaman Of
ten makes them regret the attempt.
The apprentice boys have warm
heart for Chang, and he is very liberal
with his knowledge 'of tricks of the
trade" and doesn't hesitate to teach
them the proper ways Of working. He
believes in the old maxim that "ac-
tons speak louder than words,' and
teaches ambitious apprentices by IL
Illustrations. Changes ability to read
plans is little short of marvellous. BY
attending a night school of architect
ure he became quite proficient in that
line, and by perseverance and close
application he soon learned to under
stand the most intricate drawings.
Chang has no desire to return to his
native country. but hopes some day
to be contractor.

1mttn,or< of the immortal G. W.

A pocketknife was returned to the
hardwareman with a blade broken off
short. How did you break the blade?"
asked the hardwareman. Il broke it
while cutting Il little soft pine Stick"
said the man. who, like our beloved
Washington, never told lies about
hatchets, knives, or other articles of
hardware. Very WE'LL said the hard
wareman, II will give you another and
return your broken knife to the man
ufacturer." Soon after this a small,
well-dressed boy came in and threw
down a twenty-five cent knife, which
also had blade that had come to grief
and the boy said: 'Knifes no good"
What is the trouble?" asked the hard
Wareman. II broke it whiting on a
little pine stick" said the boy, who
was regular attendant at Sunday
school. You shall have another, my
boy"
During the week there we're three
additional knives returned, all of
which had been broken cutting little
pine sticks, and each of the purchasers
was given a new knife. But one day
a ragged little fellow came into that
store and said: II broke that knife
you sold me and want to buy another
1t was a good knife, but dad tried to
get a cork out of bottle with the
small blade, and I broke the large
blade trying to split a big hickory
STICK
The hardwareman threw his arms
around the little boys neck, and in a
voice choked with emotion said: Take
a dozen knives, my dear little fellow, a
bicycle, a fishing-rod, sled and any
thing else that you would like to have
You are the first one to return a pock-
etknife to me that did not say it was
broken by being used to white a lit

The Liars Convention.

They were talking one evening in

winds and strong winds
Speaking Of storms said Abe Will
cox, I've seen the wind blow SO fast
that it blew the town clock back sew
enteen days"
well, WE'LL" said Cy Campbell,
perhaps you have seen some strong
blows, but when lived up in Montana
my neighbor careless!y opened his door
during storm. Well gentlemen, you
may think I'm liar, bnt the wind got
right IN behind the door and turned
the house completely inside QUIT"
And the MANI" gasped several in
one voice.
oh, he just sat on the stove, and
the wind carried him fourteen miles
, and landed him in the top OF a peach
tree Pretty soon a side Of bacon and
loaf Of bread came sailing bv. and
gentlemen. I'm darned if he dida.t
light fire and cook his breakfast
right UP in that tree!'
The clock in its excitement struck
thirteen. and the tomatoes turned pale.
That was quite windy" drawled
Uncle Silas, chief village liar, as he
carefully emptied his pipe into the SUI
gar barrel, that was quite windy. but
out in Nevada friend of mine started
to leave his house while til, wind was
blowing rocks as big as pumpkins
around the town. Now, l don't ex
pect you to believe this. but before he
reached the bottom Of the stairs there
wasn't stitch of clothing left on his
| back! (Sensation) Yes, sir; and then
the wind blew him up against a wall
and flattened him out as thin as a wa
fer. Next day his wife came and pried
! him off with shovel, and
What did she do with him?" asked
Abner Johnson.
What did she do with him? wbv
she just busted him off and used him
for door mat" and as the company
slowly fled out Of the door each man
shuddered as he eyed the hoary headed

insects and the scnse of Sight.

A proof that 1t is not always the
sense Of smell, but ofttimes that OF
sight, which directs insects to their
flowers is noted by the distinguished
French entomologist, NJ R. Blanchard.
A species Of sphinx moth which entered
a hotel room in the half obscuriey of
early morning was found to fit with
direct intent to definite parts Of the
wall and ceiling.
These were decorated with paintings
of leaves and flowers, and to the lat
ter the insect approached in repeated
attacks, thrusting forward its prob
oscis as though intent upon intruding
it into the opened cups Of beguiling
flowers. After repeated failures and
the resulting encouragement the effort
was given up. and the moth escaped
by the window. Another case OF a
butterfly which persisted in visiting
the artificial flowers upon lady's bon
net adds an instance to recorded facts
Of erring instinct among insects.

Schleimann took an unfair advantage
Of this circumstance. The candidates
thought was that many violations OF
law, are committed that are unknown
to the officer, who as rule can only
act on some one else filing an .nfor-
nation. So that if neighbors inform
ed on nelghbor Of all violations OF
law the condition as spoken of by tie
candidate would exist. Mr.. SchIel-
