A Betw een-se Costume.

The model depicted in the large en-
craving shows an extremely smart and
effective design that is particularly
we'll adapted to wear between seasons.
The material is steel.gray broadcloth
and the fronts are closed with small,
round crystal buttons. A tailor finish
of machine stitching completes the
edges, and the spotless linen chemis-
cite and collar worn at the neck are
accompanied by small tie-bow of
Cuban red satin. Hat of crushed
steel-gray velvet, with wings and satin
chou in lighter shade. The basque
of fashionable length is trinity adjust
ed to the figure by the usual seams
and double bust darts. Above the
closing the fronts are reversed to form
pointed lapels that meet the rolling
collar in notches.
Laps and pleats are formed below
the waist line in back that are pressed

the sides fitting smoothly over the
hips. The fashionable two-seamed
sleeves have very slight fulness col

The Worlds Population Increasing.

Even in uncivilized parts of the
world there is conclusive evidence that
population is increasing The black
races of Africa are the most prolific of
human beings. A district may be
wasted and most of its inhabitants
killed, but in ten or fifteen years the
devastated region is as thickly popu-
lated as ever. Some of the most de-
structive native wars in this century
have been waged in the region behind
Lagos, on the Upper Guinea coast,
but this district, as large as New York
State, is now more densely peopled
than any other part of Africa except
the lower Nile Valley. The Chinese
have demonstrated how vast popula-
ton, mainly agricultural, may be sup
ported in a comparatively small area;
and in China, as in some other densely
peopled regions, the population has
increased with perhaps peculiar rapid
ity, because of its enjoyment of com.

disease. New York Sun.

The ARAUCANIANS.
primitive Customs of These Queer South
American Indians

primitive Customs of These Queer South
American Indians.
The Araucanians of Argentine live
partly in villages, where they use
wooden or wattled osier houses; partly
in the country as farmers, herdsmen,
and horse breeders. Each village has
a regular market place on certain
days of the week, when all the adjacent
country buys and sells. Computation
is made with knotted cords. They
have always known the divisions of
time into years, days and weeks, and
allow for the intercalary days. Yet
with so much practical and inherited
knowledge which belongs to what we
call science, this people disdains books,
and the requirement of reading and
writing is discouraged as leading to
effeminacy. Bards recite the history
and deeds of the forefathers in spirited
poems to keep the fire of patriotism
forever aiame, going from house to
house, always sure of reverence and
warm hospitality.
Christianity has made no headway
among them, for the South American
form of the religion with which they
would come in contact has but little
charm for a race marked by sagacity
and good sense, and without super
stitious leanings. They believe in
Supreme Being, in various minor
deities who are his agents, in future
state, and in omens and divinations.
But they have no priests, no idols, no
temples, no rites, no ceremonies, nor
sacrifices, and their worship, for the
most part, is in the spirit. The Ro-
manist missionaries have long since
given them up as desperate cases, al.
though these Indians have never in.

INDOORS At NIGHT.
| cold is the wintry blast

Keen and cold is the wintry blast
AS the sleet and snow go driving past;
There's O strife In the old trees racked and
bent,
The clouds hang low Ger the armament,
But the household gathers safe and warm,
Folded close from the freezing storm;
The lamp is lighted, the hearth is bright.
And the dear ones are cozy indoors at night.
And when shutters are closed and curtains
drawn,
And the toiling hours of the day are gone,
Sweet words are spoken, good nights are
said
To the wee ones tucked in the little bed,
Goods grace watch over each curly headD
Then with book and talk and the dear old
song
We have loved si ince the days when we were
young,
Wewill fill the hours with loves delight,
Cozy and happy indoors at night

on more slowly for moment or two,
its seeming hesitation being caused
by much friction; then it's velocity
became SO great that the sensation to
the terrified boy was like that of fall
ing. He could not look; he could but
shut his eyes and hold on, yet he was
aware that the skee touched now this
and then that edge of the slide
trough. Probably this kept the log
from rolling, for the least touch is
enough to balance cylinder rushing
swiftly.
Fast as the log sped, the snowslide
seemed to follow faster. A snowy
scud famed ont in it's front, envelop-
ing the flying log aud the boy. The
avalanche seemed Economically pos
sessed with desire 10 capture the
helpless bit of humanity that fed on
before it with such lightning speed.
Its roar resembled deep growl OF
hate and rage.
The boy scarcely knew when he
crossed the valley. In helpless terror
he realized that the foot of the noun
tain awaited him below, and felt that
death awaited him at The foot of the
mountain. He could not distinguish
the roar of the avalanche from the
roar of the log on the slide. The
journey seemed very long, just as
when one leaps from a height the de-
scent seems to take more time than the
leaper expects
Ross had begun to think a little,
and to wonder ON his chances of
escape, when he was torn from the
log and hurled upward and aside
blindly through the air. The skee
had struck some obstruction, perhaps
a spike, on one edge of the trough.
He felt himself sailing up and UP,
then descending like the falling stick
of the rocket, till he dropped into
snowbank head first, and lay for
time ardly conscious of where he was
OF OF what had happened.
With the full return of his senses,
which was probably fastened by the
chill of the snow against his hands
and face, he seemed to be standing on
his head. He sought to turn round
and extricate himself, but this was a
difficult matter. However, at last he
contrived to turn end for end in his
snowy bed, and began to dig, like a
gopher, toward the surface. When he
had dug his way out, after perhaps
ten minutes of the hardest work of
his life, there was absolute silence in
the air.
He looked about. The avalanche
had filled the valley across which the
slide had borne him, and its crest had
run high up the lower side, but only
its crest. The great bulk of the snow
mountain lay in the valley and in the
canyon.
Ross climbed up into the slide and
went cautiously down it afoot. His
log had not left the trough, for he
saw that it had reached the river, only
short distance below, where, strik-
ing end on, it had pierced the thick
ice like an arrow shot through pine
board. Now it stood, with one end
protruding, at an angle of forty-fve
degrees.
1t took Ross an hour to travel
through the heavy drifts three
hundred yards to a trail he knew,
where fortunately he was found by
his fathers party that afternoon, hav-
ing suffered little more than nervous
shock from his singular adventure.

Artificial Flowers in Favor.

Artificial flowers are very much in
evidence with evening gowns, and
even with street gowns small bunch
OF artificial violets may be worn, a
filmy lace handkerchief being used as
a background, or the flowers may be
tied into loose end of the lace scarf.
Needless to say, they should not be
of the regular kind used by milliners

How n Ship Can Tell Its Position.
At n recent mee TING of the Academic


At recent mee ting of the Academic
des Sciences, Paris, M. Mascart, the
well-known French electrician, brought
forward method of enabling ship
to tell its position off coast in thick
weather or darkness. The plan was
invented by French electrician in
Turkish employment. 1t consists of
connecting two shore stations at some
distance apart by telegraph wire OF
cable, permitting an electric current
to control the acoustic fog or night
signals of the stations, and make them
simultaneous. Suppose one station
emits the note "Do" and the other
"Me;" person on board the ship
will readily distinguish them, and
whether they are heard by him stimuli
taneously or one after the other will
depend on the position of the ship
with respect to the stations. The
interval of time between the sounds
multiplied by the known velocity Of
sound in air will give him the differ
ence in his distances from the two
stations.-Public Opinion.

Jacket of fine French flannel in bebe
blue has small polka dots in white
silk embroidered all over it's surface.
A deep lace frill surrounds the fancy
pointed collar, the trimming of irregu-
lar insertion being applied on collar,
yoke and cuffs. A semi -girdle of pale
blue satin ribbon is gracefully bowed
in front. The pointed collar may be
omitted if palmer effect is desired.
The modified bishop sleeves are
shaped with inside seams and gathered
at upper and lower edges, the wrists
being finished with straight bands that
roll back in prettily pointed cuffs.

are cut low, with elbow sleeves. Long
lace scarfs are desirable adiuncts to
wind about the figure. For such gar
ments blue and cerise is a new com

neglige is cut with polonaise and a

lace falling from butterfly bow at
