charge of having committed perjury in

for sentence he told Judge Yerkes that
when he lodged the aforementioned in

and knew not what he was doing.

judge asked.

public notice that any saloonkeeper

2ie was charged that if he should break
his pledge he would be called up and
subjected To the suspended sentence.
Judge Gunster created a stir in the
main court room during the afternoon
by Withdrawing juror from a tippline
Louise case and directing that attach

which Constable James w Clarke was
prosecuting Telford Pudlevitch. The
district attorney insisted on trying the
case, that he might clear up his list
but the prosecutor was opposed to this
and appealed to the judge for a con-
tinuance, saying his witnesses had
failed to appear, although personally
served with suhpoenas.

and her songs, interspersing the while
brief explanations of the origin and
meaning of both.
To sing a real negro song, with all
the almost inperceptible quavers which
render it's reduction to white mans
notes and bars impossible, is a task
whose difficulty no Northerner can ap-
preciate until he tries it. Indeed, it is
Mrs. Murphy's expressed belief that no
white man or woman is capable of
composing real negro song, and this
Notwithstanding the fact that she has
written two or three herself which are
very creditabe limitations of the genu-
inc article.
The stories which she tells and the
songs which she sings are gathered
directly from the negroes themselves
and none of them were ever published
until after she introduced them. Most
i of the songs are of the religious order.
| One of the most into resting in her re-
pertoire is "Gawd bless dem Yankees,
we luv 'em sweet" a favorite with
many old mammies long before they
had any realization of the true mean
ing of the words they were singing.
An old Virginia mammy (whose master
had moved to Kentucky, taking his old
nurse along to bring up his own chill
dren) who had sung this melody as a
lullaby to several generations is quoted

Plaster Casts Of Hai1stones.

Dr. David Genese, of Baltimore, has
achieved something novel in the way
of making plaster casts. A hail storm
passed over the Monumental city one
day and the doctor determined to Sc
cure a permanent record of the size
and shape of some of the larger stones.
They were placed upon a slab of glass
and a mixture of fine modelling plaster
poured over them. Alum was mixed
with the plaster to make it set quickly.
Where the hailstones touched the glass
a small aperture was left. AS the hail
stones melted the water ran out of this
opening A solution was then poured
into the mold thus prepared. When
hardened the outer crust was broken
away, leaving exact casts of the hall
stones, except that the keener edges
of the ice were lost slightly by rapid
melting caused by the heat that was
generated by the crystallization of the
plaster The models are neatly sill
yered. The largest is nearly two and
fye-eighths inches long.

Not IL She Knew It

A curious old ms. mc.~riage custom, which
is still widely prevalent in Brittany,
was recently interpreted in a novel
and amusing manner. According to
the custom, the bridegroom, Immediate
ly after the priest had welded the cou-
pie, strikes his wife IN the face, saying:
This is how you will fare If you make
me angry" and then, kissing her, he
says: "This is how you will fare If you
treat me WELL"
A short time ago a young Breton
married a German girl, and, after the
ceremony was over. began at once to
practice the first part of the time-hon-
ored custom. The bride. who was inno-
cent of the inner meaning" OF what
she considered an insult. turned round
ON her lord and master and returned
the stroke, saying: Look here, l DC
not approve of such behavior" artel
which the husband is said to have per-
formed the second part OF the cere'
mony with more than usual affection

Australian Women.

Though pretty, tall and we'll formed,
the Australian woman is not graceful.
Her feet are seldom SMALL her hands
rarely beautiful. Moreover she does
not dress well. Her toilette has none
of the chic of the Parisenne's, and little
of the sobriety of the English woman's.
Overdressed or dowdy, she produces
the impression not only of having little
taste, but no artistic sense of the fit
ness of things. Styl-l and elegant wo-
men are to be seen more frequently in
Melbourne than elsewhere. Neverthe-
lss, dress is dear to the soul of an Aus
tralian, and much is spent upon it
Down in the lowest social grades dress
plays a most important part. The Aus
tralian hugs the idea of equality, and
believing in uniformity of dress as the
visible sign thereof. often sacrifices
actual comfort to obtain fashionable
! clothing. An Australian family makes
a brave show on holidays. There may
be bare feet and rags in the house, but
there are cheap feathers and gloves in
: tho street.

Miniature Houses.

In Boston there is a man who. from
plans and specifications Of a proposed
house, will make a tiny model showing
in detail just how the completed build
ing will look. He charges from $50 to
800 to duplicate in miniature a three
story dwelling Of ten or fifteen separ-
ate apartments. Everything is accur-
ately reproduced from the slope OF the
roof to the tread of the staircase. In
this way the prospective owner, seeing
his ideas practically realized is able to
make timely and just criticisms. For
even with a lively imagination and
some knowledge Of building. 1t Is Inn
possible to get a very clear conception
of proportions. Verandas that looked

UP TO DATE EUCHRE.
New Ideas Introduced Into the
Game as Played Pro-
gressiveIy.
PLAYERS CHANGE.
How Successful New York
Club Combines Theatre
and Cards.

The methods of Progressive Euchre
have been entirely changed since the
game was introduced, about ten years
ago.
This is the way in which the most
successful clubs in the large cities are
conducted:
The game is played as straight" as
possible. No lone hands are allowed.
The distinction of a head table" Is
out of date. All players progress and
change partners. Five points only are
played at each table, and no one moves
until all are finished. This does away
with the nervous strain and excitement
due to the anxiety to accumulate
points until the bell rings"
The players move by contrary pro-
gression" that is, the ladies toward
one end of the room and the men
toward the other. This distributes the
company very thoroughly and a player
rarely has a chance to play twice with
the same person.
Four prizes are given, two for each
sex; and they are all of equal value.
The first prize winners are given the
first choice. Those with equal score cut
for the choice. The ''booby" prize is
entirely obsolete.
The financial part Of very success
fu1 New York Club of 80 members is
thus managed: The meetings are held
every two weeks at the ladies' homes
and the hostess provides the refresh
ments. The latter are very simple and
consist of sandwiches or salad, ice
cream, cake and perhaps coffee. The
dues are soc a meeting for the ladies
and $1.00 for the men. Every third
meeting is theater party; $40 are ex-
pended at each card party for prizes
so that for the theater party there are
$52 in treasury, which will buy theatel
tickets at $1.5O each, for the members
and a chaperone, and leave surplus

A Unique Wedding Gift

A recent bride had one among her
many presents which will serve the
double purpose of reminding her of the
home she has left and also will be of
great practical use to her. One Of her
friends armed herself with a blank
book and went about in the town where
they both lived to all their mutual ac-
quaintances, asking for cooking recipes
These she copied in the book, append
ing in each case the name of the giveI

ture reference. One could scarcely

ALL ABOUT THE
WOMAN Of FASHION.
Golf Costume the Latest Thing
Worn by Society Men and
Women on Skates.
THE SHORT SKIRTS
Scotch Hose and Roman Sashes
a Queer Mixture in Pari-
sian Costumery.

The latest thing in skating costumes
is not a skating costume at all, but
golf costume left over from summer
and trimmed up with fur to give it
wintry look. The average man comes
out in his regulation checquered golf
coat and cap with knee breeches and
plaid-topped stocking, not to mention
the inevitable sweater without which
no man regards any sporting costume
complete.
Women, however, cannot be content
to use the same, undecorated gown for
winter in which all her friends have
seen her on the links. She must pay
some respect to the changes of season
even If she does do most of her skat-
ing in a closed and heated rink She
therefore puts a band of fur around her
short Skirt-for, no skater can be grace
full in absolutely plain petticoats-fur-
bishes up her blouse jacket with bands
of fur around the edge OF the basque
and up the front. Then in a Persian
lamb collarette lined with ermine and
a skating cap to match, she looks like
the frost queen herself as she skins
along, riding now on this foot, now on
that, her cheeks a-glow with the
1lealthful exercise and her eyes gleam-
ing with the delight of it all. She,
too, wears golf stocllings-not leggins,
for they are too stiff, and having no
elasticity allow no play to the muscles.
The stockings are warmer than leather
leggins and are more desirable for
many reasons.
Manufacturers are constantly intro
ducing new designs in this American
lied garment of the canny Scot, and it
is interesting to note how perfectly the
heraldic significance of the plaids of
American purchaser. What cares she
for the feuds between the MacGregor
and the Campbell? What she wants is
the very thing that the highlander most
ignored covering for her knees: the
Scot never troubled himself to pull up
his stockings within gunshot of his
"joints of veneration," a circumstance
which inspired the refrain of the turn
coats in the opera of Rob Roy, who as
sumed the Scotch costume to save theiI
necks, and shveringly sang:
"Oh, dear! my knees
Will surely freeze,
If there's a frost to-day"
In the choice of ordinary plaid hose
dealers tell me that many of their Gus
toners are very particular to get the
plaid of the special clan which they
happen to admire. Indeed, there are
several fashionable New York womer
