The rap.a development OF the craze for

forth Some new designs for costumes,

that 1t win hitch up, and the other is
that 1t is not warm enough around the

New Cure For drunkenness.

Curtain lectures are, as Benedicts
know to their cost, nj Of those ameni-
ties of life thai might with advantage
be dispensed with, and perhaps wives
who live on the Rhine will henceforth
avoid administering the cold water cure
when their husbands return home in a
state of i~ntoxication.
The police court at Mayence sentence
ed an old man Of 81 to a years impris-
onment for the mode in which he re-
sented his wife's ideas Of applying a
remedy against drunkenness. He re-
turned home one night visibly in his
cups, wheueupon his wife gave him a
very sharply vorded curtain lecture.
Not being one of those who are satisfied
with inflicting stings by linguistic com
binations alone, she added force to her
scolding by pouring a bucket of ice cold
water on his head
The man thereupon took up loaded
pistol and fired It point blank into his
wife's face, infiicting wounds in both
eyes, one Of which she has completely
lost, the other being severely injured.

By using electricity instead of steam
for these auxiliary services it is antici-

be increased.
AS compared with the old Victoria
and Albert, the new yacht has an addi-
tional deck, which may, for purposes OF
description, be regarded as built above
the upper deck of the present royal
yacht. This increase in ~freeboard-
from about 111a feet to 10 feet-was abb
solutely necessary to provide the de-
sired accommodation as we'll as to meet
the requirements for more powerful
machinery and enlarged coal supply.
The vessel has beer constructed of
steel, and the interior is divided into a
large number of water tight compart-
ments, In addition to these structural
arrangements. further security is pro-
vided and freedom from serious fouling
Of the bottom obtained by sheathilsg
over the steel hull with teak planking,
outside which copper sheathing is fas-
tened.
The design for the new yacht was
prepared by Sir william White, director
of naval construction, speed and ac-
commodation having been arranged in
accordance with her majesty's wishes.
1t was decided that comfort should
not be sacrificed for the purpose Of Sc
curing a very high speed, and a sus-
tanned sea speed in fair weather of
about IL knots was named in the de-
sign. in association with a speed of 20
knots on the measured mile trial of
eight hours.
The coal supply was fixed at an
amoun sufficient to steam about 1000
knots-say from Portsmouth to Malta
at a speed of about IA knots.
The accommodation for her majesty
and the members of the royal family,
with their suits and servants, is consid-
erably greater than that existing in
the old Victoria and Albert. The new
yacht, moreover, has been fitted
throughout in a manner adapted for
longer voyages. Her higher speed and
greater size necessitated a larger COM
plement of officers and men, for whom
it was necessary to provide accommo
dalton on a scale and of a character
suitable to modern conditions.

MISS IDA Z. DEWEY.

smacks strongly Of the plots to be
found in the thrilling yarns Of the old
fashioned weekly story paper.
Ida K. Dewey is the daughter of a
Presbyterian clergyman whose parish
is in Montpelier, VT. She is %. About
two years ago h became dissatisfied
with what she considered the monoto-
nous round of existence in the little YER
mont city. She left home and went to
New York. Her idea was to go on the
stage and become a great actress. But
the theatrical managers did not seem
to be in need of a new leading lady just
then. Miss Dewey vas persistent, and
at last she was given a minor part in a
production.
Then came the battle of Manila Bay
end the long distance lionizing of Dew
ey. The relationship of Miss Dewey to
the great sea fighter was discovered. She
was interviewed and her story printed
In the newspapers. Then the theatrical
managers smiled on her. She was given
a prominent part in a second rate COM
pany, and for awhile fortune seemed
to smile on her. But the novelty Of
having a cousin of George Dewey in the
cast soon wore off, and when she was
no longer a drawing card she was drop
ped.
Poverty and Illness landed the daugh-
ter of the Vermont preacher in the
charity ward of a city hospital. When
she was able to leave, she looked for
work, and the job of sewing children's
garments in a show window was the
best one she could get. She expects
nothing from the future, out perhaps
something may happen to her advan-
tage when her heroic uncle comes home.

A young mother who has $40 to
spend on her infants wardrobe. as esti-
mated by a writer in a recent issue OF
The Housekeeper, is in luck. I was
obliged TO manage. on much less than
that, and so, / fancy, are many other
mothers. This is my list: Eight dresses
for everyday wear, each containing
three yards of dairy cloth. at Q cents q

dresses of India linen, four yards each,
10 cents a yard; amount, $3.50. Three
white skirts, two yards each, s cents o

cents a yard; amount, 81. Three Shaker

cents each amount, 30 cents. Two pairs
of socks. 15 cents each; amount, 80
cents. Three knitted bands, so cents
each; amount, ST. so.
As you will see, the entire wardrobe
cost but 8 .06. I dispensed with the
shirts altogether, believing that the
baby would be just as comfortable with
out them. l used the reform patterns
in making the garments, nome of which
was long.
In conclusion, I would like. to say q
word to prospective mothers. If you
will live on plain fruit, rice, vegetables
and whole wheat bread, dress in loose
clothing, take sitz baths daily rub oil
across the abdomen daily and keep on
your feet at least six hours every day,
you will not have a very hard time at
confinement Amber Woods inlHouse-

velvet and had rich black plumes laid
along the curled brim and dropping in

Of a jeweled ornament in the middle Of
