Lace garniture without stint is the
universal rule of the hour.
To be scented with the perfume of
violets continues to be the rage in
Paris.
Many of the tailor gowns in pale
cloths show great deal of cloth en-
broidery.
Fringe is to be worn-fringe of all
kinds, knotted silk, chenille and
corded, and very pretty it looks.
The newest coat sleeves defect from
the wrists outward in sharp curve,
making Thorn easy to get into and out
of.
One may safely say that the wear
ing of lace and the manipulation Of
the ceIslJin skirt are the two features
Of the year 1899 in the world Of fash
ion.
The new sleeves show no signs OF
enlargement, but are extremely small,
and fit the arm closely from shoulder
to wrist They are still worn very
long, and have pointed or bcll-shaped
cuffs, or spread ont like a frill.
Some very smart tailor dresses are
made i'm cloth, with sort of double
skirt or nm improved polonnise, that
is to say, they are cut all in one to q
little way above the knees, from
where comes the plainest petticoat.
II is difficult to say what the pre-
vailing color is, but the tendency
toward pink is still uppermost, aud
our parasols and hats all show the
shell-like shade, which is tremendous
ly becoming, and also seems suited to
the ethereal fabrics OF the moment.
The new charms consist of little
ouamcIed eggs They are very beau

Homo Is ,vonan,s Creation.

In order that n woman may be

life, she must inevitably regard her
work as worthy the highest education
and enthusiasm" writes Katharine
Roich, in the Ladies' Home Journal,
of ''The College Bred Woman in Her
Home" Let her know, before SIC
enters upon it, that it must for years
occupy the greater part of her
thoughts aud time-there will be sea-
sons when it must occupy her whole
time-and be content that this is so
because Of the value of the result to
be attained The home where peace
and order reign, and sweet influences
OF industry and education, Of courtesy
and religion prevail, is not made by
chance. The woman's thought, and
study, and ability have entered into
1t and determined It's character.
Where the servants are Industrious
and quiet, where the children are
healthy, gentle and obedieut. where
the CONVEX sation shows intellectual
life and generous thought, and the
spirit of the home in its activities and

The home is her creation, springing

The most primitive method in chro-

orient himself in the world Of time by
associating particular lurations with
vicissitudCs OF weather, with seasonal
aspects OF vegetation, and with the
constantly changing sights and sounds
of the animal world. says Popular Sci

"eagles-seen moon" So I'm the calen-
dars Of Central America and Mexico
the months are named variously after
the arrival of birds. the blossoming of
flowers, the blowing of winds. the re-
turn Of mosquitoes and the appearance
OF fishes The Greeks constantly used
the movements OF birds to mark the
seasons; the arrival of the swallow and
kite were thus noted. Hesiod tells us
how the cry of the crane signalcd the
departure of winter, while the sitting
of the pleiades gave notice to the pillow

tRcTlc BASEBALL.
The Folnt Barrow whalers Played the
Game in Odd Costumes

The nine months that the American
wr~lemen, who were recently ice
be md at Point Barrow in the Arctic,
were compelled to lie in idleness,
while not enlivened by social gayeties,
were far from mcnotonous With
lumber brought up from San Francisco
there had been built on shore com
modious one-room house, whose most
conspicuous articles of furniture were
a big stove, that roared day and night,
billiard-table and number OF
benches and chairs. This was the
clubroom of the sixty or seventy Off
GERS of the fleet, and here they cor
gregated to play billiards and whist.
or sit about through the long Arctic
evenings, while the wind howled out
side, smoking aud spinning yarns of
many seas, or of boyhood dtys at New
Bedford, New London aud Marthas
Vineyard. There were veterans who
had whaled on every ocean, and had
been III nearly every port on the
globe; men who recOllected we'll the
raid OF the cruiser Shenandoah, when
she burned the feet on the coast OF
Siberia thirty years before, and who
had been in the Point Barrow dis
aster, when nearly score OF ships
were crushed in the icc-1oe. The
sailors and tiremcn Of the fleet did not
have the privilege of this house, but
contented themselves with games aud
amusements OF their own. They hal
an orchestra that played long and
voclferously, and there was an
amateur dramatic troupe that gave
entertainments during the winter.
But it was on the great national game
OF baseball that officers and men most
depended to break the tedium OF their
long Imprisonment and furnish the
necessary outdoor exercise.
All tile whalemen were dressed in
the Esquimau fur costume, only the
face being exposed, and on their
hands wore heavy fur mittens. These
clumsy mitteus, together with the fact
that one was apt to fall on the ice m
less he gave n large part of his atten-
ton to keeping his feet underneath
him, made good catching practically
impossible. "Muffs" were the rule
and the man who caught and held the
ball received an ovation, not only from
the whalers, but from the hundreds of
Esquimaux who were always crowded
about the rope. With the ball frozen
as hard as rock, no one was apt TO
repeat an experiment of catching with
bare hands. One of the centre fiellers
was corpulert Orkney Islander,
whose fayorite method of stopping a
hCt grounder was to lie down in front
of it. The Esquimaux considered him
the star-player of the feet. Sliding
was the only thing done to perfection,
the ice Offering excellent facilities for
distinction in that line; and there
was always a wild cheer when a run
ner, getting too much Roadway,
knocked the basemau off his feet, and
both came down together The scores
were ridiculously large, seldom less
than fifty on side, and sometimes
twice that. On the smooth ice n good
hit meant home-run.-Hlr per's

1t takes time and thought TO care
for the summer wardrobe properly,
but carefully looked after gowns,
gloves, shoes and hats retain their
pristine freshness much longer than
they otherwise would.
Skirts should have small loops sewed
in under the ruilles where the heels
of boots and slippers will not catch,
and they should be hung upside down
every night or so, as soon as they are
taken off. Hats will retain their ele-

the chiffon is blown out, the feathers

should lean, and the ribbon shafts are

have the shields ripped out and be
sponged with alcohol and water and
hung in the air to dry. The sleeves
of the waist should be turned wrong
side out and also allowed to air. Hose
should be filled with crumpled tissue
paper and hung in pairs to dry, while
gloves must be blown up by the breath

then filed with light shake of glove
powder and laid away unfolded and
wrapped separately i'll tissue paper.

who had fondness for adventure.
They had pushed their way across the
border of civilization Of those days
and had gone upon the plains Of Kan
sas, Nebraska and Texas for big game
and excitement. The Mexican war
In 1918 and the movement of troops
through Texas and along the Rio
Grande brought scouting into the
army service. When the era OF OK
teams and trains of excited gold-seek-
ers headed toward California began in
1919, there was a great demand for
scouts at very profitable wages. Hun
dreds of young men with n smattering
OF plains life, an experiences in fire
arms and little knowledge of In
dams ways, became professional
scouts. No emigrant train would
leave st. Joseph, Mo-, or Leaven-
worth, Kan, on its journey OF four or
five months to the Pacific Ocean,
without an accompanying scout or
guide for at least part of the way.
As the chain of army garriaons was
extended out upon the plains the War
Department employed more and more
scents for the troops, and scouting be
came a sort of science of the plains in
which there was competition in expert
ness. During the Apache and Sioux
wars in 1877, 1878 and 1879 the Gov
eminent had about 1900 scouts on it's
army payrolls. Then the Indians.

became scouts, and the pursuit of the
