The latest addition to baby's ward
robe is little white sweater, an exact
copy of his athletic fathers or golfing
mothers. Such sweaters have been sold
for some time for children of three years
old and upward, but the baby sweaters
are something entirely new.
They are very useful little things,
and, being made of the finest, softest
wool, are a great addition to baby's
wardrobe. They can be tucked under
the ruffled pillow of the baby carriage,
and at any sudden change in temper
ature can be slipped on easily and
without much detriment to the lace
trimmed rufles, and baby can be
wheeled home without the danger of
catching cold. Being all in one piece,
with no opening except for the head,
they will not fall open at the neck and
expose baby to the dangers OF bron-
chitis or laryngitis.

Belts not only share honors with dress
accessories for this summers wear,
but seem to claim more attention than
the gown itself. We all wear belts,
be we stout or lean, short or tall, and
no one seems to question their becom-
ingness. Jeweled belts have had such
long run, and are now made in such
cheap limitations, that the belts of
leather and plain metal are more used
by women who must have something
new. The old-time betting of colored
silk in white, black and all the pretty
shades of color are now again in
vogue, and are simply fastened in
front with clasp. Just at this time,
when war is the talk OF the day, the
leather belt with clasp in military
style is quite the thing for the sum
mer girl. 1t is usually quite large,
and, if possible, must have q history
of other war-days. .-Woman's Home

A Chinese Tynewriter.

A missionary at Tung Chow has in
vented a Chinese typewriting machine.
The characters number about four
thousand, and are on the edge of wheels
about a foot in diameter. Twenty or
thirty wheels are required to carry all
the characters, and two keys must be
struck to make an impression The first
turns the wheel, and the second stops
it at the required letter, which is then
brought down TO the paper. The ma
chine is complicated, but the inventor
tDr. Shefiield) hopes to make 1t more
simple. There are $4,000 characters in
the Chinese language, each represent
ing a distinct word. The 1000 in com
mon use have been selected for the new

senofas of the town, and he had vain
ly explored all the salons OF Bincdocn
for an Introduction, when one day, as
he was writing prescription for a
chance patient in one of the fine
houses in the Faubourg OF Santa Cruz
the sudden rustling of a silk dress
was followed by the apparition of the
lady. She was eighteen years of age.
Her features were regular and placid,
her hair black and beautiful, and her
eyes large and expressive. This was
Anne-Maria Favea, Marquesa de las
Salinas, the wealthy and charming
young widow of a Colonel of the
guards who had married her when
but child.
Paul stammered, got out of the
house awkwardly, went Lome in
fever, called again, and six months
later was the husband of an excellent
wife. Her fortune, $136, 900, invested
in Mexican venture, was seized by
Colonel Iturbide, who became EN-
peror Of Mexico, and was dethroned
and shot. This excellent woman bore
every trial with patience. She fol-
lowed her husband with the most un-
bounded confidence. She welcomed
the European visitors who came to
the colony, and she put clothes on the
backs of the dalagas. Quietly she
laid her little girl in the grave, and
uncomplainingly, as she bid adieu to
the boy who was soon to follow, she
went down into it herself. She was q
teacher of goodness; the narrative of
le gentilhomme breton sinks to song
for the dead upon every mention of
her worth; and the cross of the Le-
gion of Honor, accorded him at the
request of Marshal Soult, was little
recompense for the other self that he
had lost in the Lady of Jala-Jala. -

new use for peanut is developing as
the peanut butter industry becomes
better understood. The product of the
peanut answers in the place of ordi.
nary butter for the table use, and is
said to be excellent for shortening pur-
poses, and for gravies, sauces, etc. In
point of purity it is well designed for
the use of vegetarians who strenuous
ly object to anything animal. There is
already considerable demand for this
butter substitute, and it is very prob
able there will be an enlarged market
for the nuts. At present the product
of the United States is about 100000
bags annually, and that of the world
is G00,000,000 pounds.-West Coast

Americans Shut Out of the Philippines.

As is well known, America was su-
preme in the Philippine trade from the
opening of the export business of the
island on large scale until within
few years. The reasons for the decline
of American influence were largely the
drawing out of capital by the older
members of the great American trad
ing firms, and their leaving the bust
ness to younger members of their fam.
lilies, who found themselves with
great responsibilities and reduced
capital. Gradually English firms,
with abundant capital, succeeded to the
bulk of the business. The last Ameri-
can firms in Manila were crowded out
three years ago by Spanish intrigues,
caused by the hatred of Americans
growing out of the Cuban troubles.
This overthrow was managed by the
thousand and one petty annoyances Of
legal machinery that the Spaniards.

Russia's Priceless Jewels.

ga whole guide-book devoted SIM
ply to the Hermitage could give no sort
OF idea of the barberic splendor of its
belongings" writes Lillian Bell, OF
the famous st. Petersburg Museum,
in the Ladies' Home journal. "Its
riches are beyond belief. Even the
presents given by the Emir of Box
hara to the Gear are splendid enough
to dazzle one like a realization of the
Arabian Nights. But to see the most
valuable of all, which are kept in the
Emperor's private vaults, is to be re-
duced to state of bewilderment bor-
dering on idiocy. 1t is astonishing
enough, to one who has bought even
one Russian belt set with turquoise
enamel, to think of all the trappings
OF horse-bit, bride, saddle-girt
saddlecloth and all-made of cloth of
gold and set in solid turquoise enamel,
with the sword hilt, scabbard, belts
and pistol handle and holster made of
the same. Well, these are there by
the roomful. Then you come to the
private jewels, and you see all these
same accoutrements made of precious
stones-one of solid diamonds; an
other of diamonds, emeralds, topazes
and rubies."

Fashion DEGREES that feathers shall
be worn in outing hats. Those for
general wear, bicycling, golf and even
sailor hats are trimmed with wings
and quills. But the more elegant
headdress for wear on strolls is deco
rated with ostrich feathers. The
plumes often have an addition of little
tassels of plain black silk, and fiat
velvet spots are placed on white feath-
ers. Often the milliners go SO far as
to renounce curling altogether, as they
are supposed to show to better ad-
vantage the quality of the feather if
plain. White plumes are the most
used. They are frequently shaded or
laid over colored ones.

The Corsage Sachet.

One of the prettiest conceits in fem
mime fancies is a butterfly of white
boiling cloth, embroidered in the most
elaborate pattern. 1t was sent to a
recent bride and the sender declares
she traced the design from the wings
of a very gorgeous butterfly her small
brother made captive. Certainly no
artist could have devised one more
odd or more beautiful.
The scalloped wings are padded
just trihe, the sachet is put in, and
the wings outlined with double row
of narrow Valenciennes lace. y The
whole is outlined with pink silk. 1t
is to be pinned on the left side of the
corsage, and gives the wearer subtle
perfume that is very fascinating.

The reason why ships are not struck
by lightning is attributed by German
authorities TO the general use which
is now made of wire rope for rigging
purposes, as well as to the fact that the
hulls of ships are usually constructed
Of iron or steel. Thus the whole ship
ferns an excellent and continuous con-
ductor, by means of which the electric
ity is led away into the ocean before it
has time to do any serious damage.
