Bottles Made OF Paper,

A German paper-maker has recently
obtained letters patent on bottles made
of paper, for use on board of ships par.
ticularly. 1t has been cause of much
damage to steamer lines that in bad
weather a large number of bottles of
wine and other liquors are broken In
the storerooms, In spite Of every pre-
caution. The new bottles are made OF
a composition which, with the solution
in which they are made water tight, ia
still the inventors secret. After being
impregnated with this fluid the paper
bottles are slowly dried Ia gas stoves,
and this process of drying must be
watched carefully, for otherwise the
bottles would remain porous and al.
low the fluid to leak out. These bottles
can be handled roughly without the
least apprehension; neither the pitch.
ing nor the rolling of a great steamer
during rough weather nor the break.

Wearing the Hair.

There are two ways to wear the hair.
The way you Like it best and the way
thai is most fashionable. The fashion
able way depends upon your hat.
With the front tip-tilted hats the hair
is worn little under the back of the
hat in the medium space that is so un-
comfortable with all other hats. With
the front tip-tilted hats the hair worn

Portable with all other hats. With the
hat that is worn way back the hair is

That is Bowery style not to be toll

women who do it.
The hair, with hat, is never worn
very high. The style of piling it up
On top of head and setting the hat
over it is an abomination. The only
way, positively, in which it can be
worn on top, is when the hat is open
and the hair is allowed to stick through
the top of the hat. This is sometimes
the case where becoming bandeau is
worn. But it is never seen otherwise.
OF course the bandeau is only for very
full dress.

Rose Leaf Wishes For the Bride.

A st. Louis belle, Miss Nellie Lee

while the bridal party were making
their preparations for travelling, the
bridesmaids were not idle. They OBJ

petals of all the American Beauty roses
which the groom had sent the bride
three times each week during the
period of their engagement-six
months. These numbered 1000 roses
in all, and made vast quantity of rose
petals. As the bride and groom walked
from the stairway to the door, they
were vigorously pelted with these frag-

The costliest and most unique gift
which the bride received was a square
box of heavy glass, mounted in gold
and set on a standard. Within it were
five and ten-dollar gold pieces to the
amount of 500, and in one corner was

Balu Eagle.
A man sat on the sands Mt Capron In.

the graceful flight of an osprey, says
the Jacksonville Florida Citizen. About
fifty yards above the blue water, he
wheeled on widespread pinions, direct
ing his course by a motion of his tail OF

anced himself, the wings shut ON the

a scream of exultation he shook him

circled to attain sufficient altitude to

But fishing eagle, twice his weight,

and the osprey, burdened as he was,
gave up the contest and dropped the
fish. With a swing, the fisher turned
and caught 1t and few low to regain
the BLASTED pine and feast.
But out of the blue came another
scream and a dim spot detached itself
from cloud and moved straight on the
scene of action. The fisher heard the

SO exquisitely are ideal heads painted

Blouses of brown velvet, trimmed
with mink or sable, and showing ap-
pliques of Russian lace, may be seen
ready-made in some of the large retail
stores. Different colors may be seen,
but brown, in its many lovely shades,
seems to be the favorite.
Poplin waists are fashionable, and
make pretty, serviceable garment for
ordinary street and house wear. They
are made up in Norfolk style, with
box pleats in the front and back, and
belt two inches wide. They can also
be made in regular shirt-waist style.
Black crepe de chene gowns are
very much worn, and very prettily
trimmed with narrow ruffles of the
same, edged with black guipure or
Chantilly lace. Bands of lace inser-
tion, with frills of narrow lace on
either edge, stripe the blouse bodice.
The belt craze is on the increase,
and the most beautiful specimens are
shown made of leather, silk, velvet
and metal. Many of the latter have
jewels set irregularly in the large
links, and the enamelled belts are
things of real beauty. The buckles
are also handsome.
An exquisite white velvet gown seen
at an afternoon reception was trimmed
with pearl passementerie. The blouse
front was of white net embroidered
with small pearls and silver threads.
Full ruchings of white chiffon finished
the edges of the blouse, and were worn
at the wrists and throat.
A very large number of evening
dresses are made with transparent
sleeves reaching to the wrist. The
bodice proper may have transparent
yoke, or guimpe to correspond, or be
cut low, or in three-quarter style,
either form being without doubt fash
ionable; nevertheless, low bodice
with long sleeves in Victorian fashion
looks extremely odd, and it is rarely
if every becoming.

Superstition About the Turquoise.

An ancient superstition connected
with the turquoise is even to-day
believed in. If it is given with love
it carries with it happiness and good
luck. If the well-being of the giver
is in peril the faithful turquoise pales;
if, on the other hand, the giver proves
faithless, the stone turns dark. 1t is
an emblem of prosperity and is also
dedicated to December. A cluster
composed of diamonds, loadstones and
sapphires combined is guaranteed by
the ancient faith to render the wearer
almost invincible and altogether ire
sistible.

Against the probability or possibility of

how great is the chance Of sudden death,
we would be made too timid and unhappy.
Caution Is needed not to be foolhardy, and
precaution to know what Is best to do whom
an accident happens. One day this winter

places. l tread firmly and never think

place covered with thin snow, where kids
had been sliding. The first speaker slipped
and came down with his foot turned and
badly sprained his ankle. He was cripple
on crutches until short time ago, having
used many things without benefit. Up to
that time he hud not used ST. Jacobs Oil,
which, when used, cured him completely,
