Sleeves and Collars.

Remember that sleeves of 8 different material from the waist have come in. So far. however, they are generally of embroidery or guipure or of something that recalls the trimmings of the gown. What am very fond of is the princess dress with draped waist top. which is so effective in summer stuffs. A princess gown of white cloth is heavily soutaoh- ed on the skirt and opens at the throat over a tiny yoke of white mousseline de soie. This is edged with pointed reyers embroidered with white soutache and tiny threads of gold that give together the effect of spiders web. Starting from under the arm on the right side is a drapery of mousseline de soie which crosses to the left and is finished with a chou and ends This is bordered at the top with narrow galloon of embroidery like the revers. The sleeves are entire ly soutached.
 The straight collars round the neck may be trimmed in almost any sort of way that suits the fancy with the pres ent styles. One sees them perfectly plain, to begin with. without ears frills anything. One sees them with little pattes, or ears, cut on the collar. which is stiffened and trimmed with many rows of stitching, rounded up on to the pattes. One also sees neckgear with loops of mousseline de sole as garniture, held in the middle by fancy buckle. Nearly all the theater blouses in Paris just now are made with little square soI AL. neck dog collar of pearls naturally if one has them, but if not of jets, of fiji gree silver. of any sort of pretty fancy that one may choose to adopt. -Harper's Bazar.

Padding rlle Iiips.

The fashion for padding the hips has become so common now that l must speak of it as an established custom. Some people seem to have horror of it, but, then, when one thinks of it what is there so much worse about put ting little bustles on the hips than put ting a little hustle at the back? And yet the most deoorous of us wear those now, for dress is not fashionable without one.
 And SO my lady. pad your hips if nature has not been sufficiently lavish with you and be in vogue. All sorts of things are used for these pads. Some use hair, but that is heating and un- wholesome; others swan down, which is all very well in winter, but some thing like eternal torment for heat in the summer
 Some have layers of cotton batting, but that is heavy and drags one down, and some have gathers of crinoline or canvas, but these are bulky and always getting awry, so that the best things to use are the little pads that come pre- pared like hustle of fine featherbone run into satin or silk like the little bustles for the back.
 Of course the padded hips give very small effect to the waist, which itself is drawn in very tight just at the belt line, and the rest of the figure left to spread out as large as it wishes above, short corsets being worn to give the effect.
 The hip pads should be made very se- cure to the belt or the effect is grotesque with them slipping all about or getting out of place to make one look as if one had tumor. The best way is to have them made into each dress and fastened securely to the belt.
 Some hip pads come in one with the hustle for the back, and this is the best form of all, as it looks more like the natural figure than any of the separate affairs. Paris Cor. Boston Globe.

Fatigue of Metals.

Grasp in both hands a strong wire or iron rod and bend 1t backward and for ward for certain length of time and it breaks from what scientists call fla tigue. In other words, it is unable to stand the strain of the violent expan- sion and compression to which the par ticles are subjected. Much attention has been given to this subject, and the fla tigue and exhaustion of metals prove to be most interesting topics.
 It is, however, demonstrated that if the movement of the molecules ceases before the breaking point is reached the metal may recover. Fatigue in metals is cured by rest, as is that in human beings. Sometimes it requires years of inaction to bring these metals back to their normal state. Edged tools are greatly improved by putting away. AL most every one is familiar with the fact that razors become after a time almost useless. If they are put away and al lowed to remain untouched for period of years, they recover their vitality, so to speak, and may be even better than they were originally. Carpenters and workers who use fine tools would find it of great advantage to keep duplicate sets, one of which might be put away to rest while the other was doing sery- ice.-New York Ledger

Compressed Flour Bricks.

In England much interest is taken by the army and navy authorities in a new method of preserving flour by means of compression. With hydraulic pressure ap- paratus the four is squeezed into the form of bricks, and experiments are reported to have shown that the pressure destroys all forms of larval life, thus preserving the flour from the ravages of insects, while it Is equally secure from mold.

Rvrs,n,s Marriage.

Swift said, 'sNo wise man ever mar. ried. Byron's marriage was an act of lunaoy. The very manner of it's begin ming was insincere and theatrical. His friends had been urging him to marry, so he wrote two proposais-sort of ''sealed tenders sent them to two young ladies. One of them declined, the other accepted. Naturally Byron mar ried the latter. The rest is known, and for this part of his life has the poet suf- fered strongest criticism. It did not die with his death, but the evil that he did lived after him, while the good was seemingly "entombed with his bones. , Tue world holds as most potent proof of his insincerity that he made his wife's existence a purgatnry. finally drove her from his house, even refusing to shake hands with her at the last goodby, and then wrote:
 Fare thee we'll and, if forever,
 Still forever fare thee well
 Even though unfoTgiving, never
 Gainst thee shall my heart rebel. sung with tears by young girls all over the English speaking world, who felt that Lady Byron was hard hearted, wicked wretch to so desert her grief crushed husband. In fact, the poor lady never saw the verses until she beheld them in print and read with astonished eyes:
 Fare thee welli Thus disunited,
 Torn from every nearer tie,
 Scared in heart and love and blighted,
 More than this scarce can diel

gestiOn and a diSordered liver mean that man is fighting the first round with death. Unless he manages to strike the knockout blow, 1t means that death will come up ill the second round in the guise of some serious nalady. When mans stomach IS weak and his digestion is impaired, the life-giving elements of the food he takes are not assimilated into the blood. The blood gets thin and weak, and the disordered liver and the sluggish bow of impurities. The body is hungry and eagerly consumes anything that the blood stream carries to it. In place of healthy nutri1nent, 1t receives for food foul poisons that should have been eNcreted by the bowels, Continued, this system of starva- ton combined with poisoning, will wreck every organ i'll the body. Naturally, the weakest organ will give way first. If man is naturally nervous, he will break down with nervous exhaustion or prostra- ton. If he inhefits weak lungs, the con. sequence will be consumption, bronchitis asthma, or some disease of the passages. If lie has naturally sluggish liver he will suffer from a serious bilious or na1arial at. tack. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Diseov- cry cures all disorders of the stomach, di- geStion and liver. It purifes the blood and fills 1t with the lifa giving elements of the food that build new and healthy tissue.
