Modistes are making considerable

mounted and in firing position is
shown in the accompanying cut. By
touching a lever a counterWeight is
released. AS the latter descends the
gun rises and is sustained in position
over the parapet. The recOil attending
the firing of the shot sends the gun
back into it's original retreating posi-
ton, an oil cylinder cushioning the re-
coil. The counterweight consists of
nearly forty tons of lead ingots. The
maximum range of the gun is seven
miles. The projectile is SIS pounds.

SHIRT WAISTS ALWAYS.
/ This yearly talk of women giving
up shirt waists is all nonsense; they
will always be worn. Many women
wear the shirt waist style of bodice
for all except formal evening, recep-
ton or tailor wear. With the strict tail
or, bOned and fitted bodice they have
made also an unlined flannel, silk,
pOplin or madras shirt waist. The neg
lige shirt waist is adopted for house
wear, and the fancy bodice is often as
not Of the shirt waist variety. The
he same as last year. Some of the
ancy makers are showing new designs
but they are not likely to GUST the
regulation cut, which is fitted into the
back by perfect laying and narrowing
of plaits to the waist. In front the
shirt is loose, almost pouched, a mar
rowing to the waist being nevertheless
effected. At the sides under the arm
the shirt lies smooth. 1t is important
that the waist should be long wasted
front and back, that the belt may be
pushed we'll down.
The materials are madras, cheviot
prints, cotton, linen and bingham
The transparent horrors of last season
may appear, but they are totally ia
booed by good taste. The correct
shirt waist is to be worn with a linen
collar and a bingham or bandanna tie,
or with a formal and irreproachable
stock. The silk affair may have a rib
bon or a silk neck finish. A really
perfectly cut shirt is not dependent
on a permanent belt, but draws with
a string and holds" in place When
you go to first class place and pay a
first class price, it is for this set and
hold" you pay, and not for the goods.
DOYLE BOOK.
! One of the novelties of the season
for the amateur is the DOYLE book.

DC'--AING IN NEW JERSEY.

We are gratifed to learn that a
prominent member of the Essex
County Club was recently arrested at
East Orange, New Jersey, for the
heartless cruelty of mutilating his
horse for life by docking it's tail, and
was fined 800. Some school boys pass
ing the place where it was being done
heard the cries and moaning of the
horse, and when they got to the door
saw the hot irons applied to the
bleeding stump of the tail to cauterize
the wound. The horse had been strap
ped to the floor so that it could moi
move.

Disappearing Gun Carriage

The accompanying illustration shows
one of the fourteen Burlington and
Crozier disappearing carriages for 10
inch guns which are being built for
the government by the Niles tool
works at Hamilton, Ohio. The build
ing up Of the guns from the forged
steel breech, the rifle and the great
steel bands which are shrunk upon II
is also done here under the super
vision of an expert from the krUpp
works. There are seven pieces TO
each gun, The whole weighing about
! thirty tons. The iron castings for
the carriage, which are made in the
foundry of the Niles works, the largest
weighing seven tons, consist of the
top carriage cylinders, traverse circles,
foundation rings and fittings. The
makers have been quite successful

MANTEL AND BOOK CASE.

An excellent suggestion for a girls
den," in which there is a scarcity Of
space, is the combination mantel ana
bookcase. This could be easily made
at home, with a little assistance from
the local carpenter, and when complet-
ed one would be well repaid for any
extra trouble or exertion. The mantel
proper could be of plain wood, fastened
to the wall with brackets. and covered
with a pretty shade of velveteen, g
draped or plain valance finishing the
edge. The effective frame work above

BEDTIME.
Morning

Goodnight, dear Day! you're tired,
know,
You've had so very far to go.
And now you lay your cheek so red
On snow-white pillows for your bed
That one clear star shall be your light
To watch above you all the night;
Just like the little lamp-light spark
That drives away the nursery dark.
The moon will tuck you into bed.
Those bright clouds are the prayers
you said,
And hurrying on to God they go
Like prayers Of children here below.
When night is over up you'll get,
To see if | have awakened yet
But I'm in Dreamland many mile;
You'll have to play alone awhile,
Grace Dufield Goodwin.

RODE IN THE HANNA CARRIAGE.
An Old Lady of Cleveland Gets Her
Hearts Desire.

One old lady who called on PresI-
dent Mckinley during his visit at the
Hanna mansion in Cleveland, will
never forget the cordial reception
given her. She is Miss IngersoIl of
Berea, one of the pioneers of the
county. She is s. years of age and
quite feeble. She is well known in
the county For several days Miss
Irgersoll has been visiting relatives
residing on Herrick street, a mile
away from the Hanna mansion. She
is warm admirer of the president
and has scrapbook filled with data
concerning him.
Today, without consulting her
friends, she walked all the way to
Windmere and mounting the step
rang the bell
do you suppose the president
would shake hands with me?" she
asked.
81 don't know; II see" replied the
| servant.
In few minutes -. Hanna came
out. When told of the old w0man's
REQUEST she invited her in. Then fol-
lowed a introduction to the president,
who warmly received his admirer He
gave her a bouqeut and two peaches.
Mrs. Hanna then showed her the
presidents room and chat of Mrs. Nc
| Kinley.
"Aunty'' was tired by this time
and when she had seen all, in res
ponse to Mrs. Hanna's suggestion
that carriage be called, she ex-
pressed as her fondest wish a desire
to ride in the carriage in which the
| president had ridden. Accordingly
the Hanna carriage was brought
| around and Miss Ingersoll was driven
away and arrived at the house where
| she is visiting to the wonder of her
friends.

NO NEGRO IN SOUTH ARFRICA.

The word negro" is not heard in
south Africa excepting as a term Of
opprobrium. Over and over again
have Afrikander Englishmen stopped
me when speaking of Zulus, Basutos,
Matabele and so on as n groes. "You
in America only know the blacks who
came over as slaves. Our blacks

,couched in gilt thread, but flowers,

may be substituted with equally good

useful receptacle for doylies, and is
also suggestion for a handkerchief

NEW YELLING
A smart new yelling has a wide
mesh and large, soft chenille dots.
1t is not close enough to hide COM
plexional blemishes, but enhances the
beauty Of a fair, rosy face at least two
fold
Fine net, with smaller dots placed
half an inch apart, is serviceable and
becoming and affords more protection
than the very open mesh.
A novelty is white net with black
dots, the bottom and ends of the veil
edged with a double row Of very mar
row black velvet or al edge of cream
white or black thick lace.
