tunes.
Dog collars of velvet, more or Less
covered with jewels, are much worn
with evening dress.
One of the novelties in jewelry is a
diamond snake with sapphire eyes
wound around velvet collar band on
my lady's gown. 1t is made in three
divisions, which slide in such a way
that it appears whole. Little tablets
set in diamonds are made with slides
to fit on the velvet collar.
Spiders, grasshoppers and all sorts of
winged insects and groveling bugs are
the popular designs in jeweled pins.
A narrow black n1oire ribbon is set
forth as the successor of the gold chain,
and the "Incroyable'' eyeglass or the
lOrgnette it attached to the end.
Old-fashioned pink canoes are com
ing into vogue again, and the old-time
setting is to be retained.
Felt hats covered with large meshed
black silk net are one of the features
of millinery.
Added to the brooch in her back hair,
adopted to hold the short straws in
tidiness and free from her coat collar,
every second woman now carries dang
ling from her long neck chain a gold
latchkey. Some of these futile and
frivolously pretty trinkets that were
never made to open any lock ever seen
by land or sea have the hoop in the
handle set with jewels. Less expensive
ones are of silver, with enameled tops,
and some of these do turn in the locks
OF escritoires, or open pretty boxes
where jewels and precious letters are
kept. Their purpose, however, is a
small matter, and they promise to be.

The jeweled belt, the sash and the
velvet girdle with bow on the left
side, resplendent with jewel buckle,
are the novelties il finish at the waist.
Pretty revers for cloth gowns are
made of white silk finely tucked cross
wise, having a hemmed frill on the
edge nearly two inches long.
A lowered silk gown can be brought
up to date with a velvet blouse waist
of some dark color in the silk. The
sleeves may be of silk, and with a
guimpe neck of lace the effect is very
pretty. If the velvet bodice is black,
rows of velvet ribbon on the skirt are
an improvement.-N. Y. Sun.

PRAYERS By TELEPHONE.
A Young Mothers Way at a Dinner Of
RemedyinE an OversiGht.

At small dinner given recently in
western city the guest of honor was
young married woman who is the
proud mother of two handsome boys,
both under five years of age. In their
education she endeavors to follow a
system, after the manner of most
young mothers, and is very particular
to live up to any rule she has made
for them, says the New YORK Sun.
During an early course in the dinner,
and in the middle of an animated con-
versation with her host, she suddenly
paused with startled look and cried:
There, if did not forget those boys
againl Have you telephone in the
house, and may use it?"
She was taken to the telephone by
her host, and the murmur of her voice
il earnest conversation foated back
to the dining-room. After a short
pause she returned.
ST do hope you will pardon me-" she
said. But, you see, always have
George and Eddie say their prayers

NEW USE OF THE KANGAROO.
The Tendons OF His Tail Serving an
Important Purpose liza Surgery.

Important purpose iA surgery
Surgeons of Oakland. on the bay op-
posite San Francisco. have resorted to
the use of Kangaroo tendons TO tie up
the fractured bones of a broken leg.
in order that the patient may have
use of his knee, while the bones are
knitting together, says an exchange.
He is painter, and this is the second
time he has broken bone of his left
leg in the same place. ITO reset the
fracture and place the limb in a plas-
ter cast until the bone knits would de-
stroy the use of the knee joint said
DR.. Stratton. The knee had already
become somewhat stiff from the frs,
setting. We have decided to make ar
incision in the leg at the point of the
fracture of the bone and win bore
holes in the broken bones. Through
the holes we will draw kangaroo ten
dons, and they will hold the bones
together until they knit, without the
use of a plaster cast about the knee.
This will enable the knee to be bent
each day while the bone is knitting.
Kangaroo tendon is as strong as sill
yer wire. It is taken from the tail of
the kangaroo, and being animal in
its nature, it is absorbed, and the leg
does not have to be again cut open,
as is necessary when silver wire is
used"

THE BULLDOG a GOOD DOG.
Yet We Do Not Care to Take Liber-
ties with One.

Yet We Do Not Care to Take LibeR-
ties with One.
No member of the canine family has
been more Persistently mahgned than
the bulldog. Writers who have no inti-
mate knowledge of the dog and his at
tributes have described him as stupidity
ferocious, and illustrators have pic
tured him as sort of semi-wild beast,
til the general public has come. to look
upon him as dangerous, says Outing.
'Give a dog a bad name,'' is an old
saw and perhaps true one, but when it
is applied to the bulldog, it is manifest
ly unjust. Writers, too, have fallen into
grave error in claiming that the bull
dog is deficient not only in affection, but
in intelligence.
No greater proof of the falsity of the
latter could be given than was wit
messed at the late Westminster Ken
mel clubs dog show, when Col. Shuts
exhibited his trained dogs, with the
bulldog Nick performing all sorts of
wonderful feats, especially that of
walking a tight rope, and, when in the
center of it, turning round and retrac-
ing his steps, amid the applause of an
admiring audience.
Stonehenge, who is considered one of
the greatest of canine scientists, claims
that the bulldogs brain is relatively
larger than that of the spaniel, which
dog is generally considered to be the
most intelligent of the canine race,
while the bulldogs affection is never to
be doubted.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.
A Few Items of Information for the
Housewife.

If a piece of rare beefsteak is left
over from breakfast. it makes ain excel
lent sandwich filing for luncheon, if
chopped very fine and seasoned with
salt and pepper. In this condition it
is much more digestible than when re-
heated in the universally detested stew.
Housekeepers who cook dried fruit
properly. prepare it by washing it thor
oughly, letting it soak in cold water
until all dirt or sediment has been
loosened and washed off, then rinse ii
thoroughly and put it to soak for "a
hours in clear water. Cook it slowly
and not very long in the water in
which it has been soaked. This process
brings out the real fresh fruit flavor
better than any other.
There is a legitimate reason for the
preference at dinner for candles as a
means of lighting. A single gas burner
will consume more oxygen and produce
more carbonic acid to destroy the pure
atmosphere of the room than six or
eight candles.
Some one advises that the stringy
coat left on bananas after they are
peeled should be removed before eat
ing. If~is this, like the white, pithy
anderskin of an orange, which is in
digestib!e.
To those who study the niceties CT de
tail in the preparation CT even a sim
pie dish, it may be suggested that choc-
olate used as drink is much improved
if blended several hours beforehand 1t
is better to break even the Jumps of un-
sweetened chocolate into an carthen
bowl the night before, adding cold wa
ter and covering closely. In this way
the favor of the chocolate is best ex-
tracted.
A French cook never, it is said, washes
the paa in which an oTnelet is made.
1t is wiped clean with pieces of paper,
then rub dry with 4 cloth. In this
way the o12clets E=ade in the pan are
rot so apt to burn. These artists in
cooking lay great stress upon the quail
ity and care Of their tools.-N. Y. Post.

HIS NOSE WAS HIS EYE.
Strange Result of an Accident to .
Sixteenth Century Man.

Several authors of the sixteenth CEN
tury mentioned the existence of a man
who, haIirg lost his eyesight, could
see thrcuGA his nose, says the Philadel-
Phia Record. The story, much doubted
at the time and pronounced fabulous
by physicians, is nevertheless true if
the researches of E. Douliot prove cor
rect. Tt seems that the victim had lost
his right eye early in life, and later
on while climbing ON a cherry tree fell
upon, fence, the pickets horribly mutt
lating the left eye, the cheek and the
nose. The surgeon called in consid4
cred the eye entirely destroyed, sewed
up the wound and it healed in time,
forming a large scar where the eye
had been. A year later the man, then
considered stoneblind, lay in the grass,
when he surprised himself by discov-
ering that he could perceive through
the cavity OF the nose the sky and the
color of the flowers on the meadow
around him. From that time on he
practiced fer five or six years to see
with his nose, which to him became
practically the organ of vision. He
gradually became more proficient in
seeing in this way and could see every
thing beneath him while he remained
quite insersible to the light from above!
The condition of this man can be
explained scientifically. Although the
lens of the eye had been torn from its
socket by the fall, the optic membrane
and the nerves at the rear of the cavity
of the eye had retained some of the
seeing power. When the eye had healed
together small hole in the bone over
the nose must have formed which acted
as lens in the same way as a pinhole
can be used TO take Photographic pic
ture. This also proves that the retina
of the eye acts like a camera obscura
where the objects from the outside be-
come visible when the rays of light
arrive there after passing through a
small opening.

"THEArER SICKNESS"
New Disease Discovered by a French
Physicfan.


Theater sickness" is the name of the
new disease recently discovered by the
eminent French physician, DIR. Morti-
cole, which is at present topic of a
good deal of discussion in scientific and
lay circles in Paris. The doctor declares
that "theater sickness and sea sickness
resemble one another, take their vic
Tins entirely unawares, and prey espe-
cially on women The symptoms con-
sist of giddiness, loss of consciousness,
deep faint, and in perverse cases the
malady causes death. 1t seizes victim
after he has gazed long at the stage, and
more commonly in tragedy than in
comedy, and, in brief, it constitutes a
species of asphyxia. When men feel
"theater sickness" coming ON they be-
come, according to DR.. Morticole, obliv-
ious to all considerations of locality and
put their heads between their knees,
while women feel an inclination to re-
cline with their feet at an acute angle
above their heads, so excessive is the
vertigo. Fortunately, cases of .'theater
sickness" are as yet the exception
rather than the rule. A theater where
all the mems heads would be bowed
down betweeD their knees, and where
all the women were to have their feet
in the air, would furnish a strange mix
ture of the mournful and of the hilari-
Gus.
