NEW TABLE LINEN.
what the Sales Of the Early New Sens
VIII Display to the
buyer.

Plain white linen, embroidered only
In white, is the character of all the best
new tea cloths and center pieces,
though white lace has not lost one whit
of its popularity. From the inexpen-
sive renaissance to the most exquisite
duchess and rose point dinner tables
are resplendent, and some of the point
lace center pieces are splendid enough
to serve as the bridal handkerchief for
royal princesses. They are rather
small, and the lace is set fiat on round
or scalloped center of finest French
batiste that is embroidered in a wreath
of white flowers,
In consequence of this lavish use OF
lace, nearly all the most informal
dinners of the past spring and
autumn have been served on bare
boards. The lace center piece, ac-
companied by plate, decanter and can
delabra doilies, is laid on the brilliantly
polished naked mahogany or dull black
oak in order 10 achieve the best effect,
and show just how beautiful your lace
set is. The same scheme is followed
where the board is oInamented with a
set of Mexican drawn work, and,
though the rule is all for white, some
women gild refined gold by embroidery,
in colored floss, sprays and bouquets,
both on renaissance lace and on drawn
work. The consequence is brilliant,
certainly, but scarcely so refined in APP
pearance as the pure white.
Luncheons, suppers and midday
breakfasts are now so universally served
on the boards, with doilies only, that
the handsomest damask tabecloths are
looking for jobs on bargain counters.
and the smartest little breakfast cloth
one can use, informally and en- famille,
is a large square of hemstitched linen
that is damasked all over, but not in
figures, and then richly wrought in
white Swiss embroidery
Great attention is given to the designs
done in this new needlework. 1t would
require too much space to describe the
Jacobean, Egyptian and Henri Deaux
patterns that are stamped on these
squares for working, and that emanate
from able artists in London and Paris.
Quite as highly esteemed as the beauti-
full Mexican drawn work is that which
comes from Russia. II is different from
the Mexican, being done in heavy home
woven linen in the natural or half
bleached tints of the fax.
From Russia is brought over also the
almost forgotten art of doing cut work.
The patterns on the handsome linen
squares are first embroidered and then
cut out until the finished piece resem-
bles a sort of superb lace. With all
these articles the owners initials are
worked in one corner of the narrow
bem.-Chicago Chronicle.

SHOOTING STARS.
Theory That They Have n Marked
Influence Upon the Tenn
pcrnture.

Recently there has been an attempt to
revive the idea that falling stars exert
an indirect influence on temperature,
especially in cases where the tempera-
ture falls, as in the first fortnight of
February or May. The advocates OF
this notion would have us believe that
certain groups of shooting stars inter-
cept a part of the suns rays as they
pass between the earth and sun, SO
that a noticeable cooling of the atmos-
phere is A. result OF course, cooling
which is felt by scientific instruments,
by men, animals and plants.
There are times in the year when
shooting stars are more numerous than
at others, as the 18th, 18th and 14th of
November, and the 10th, nth and 18th
Of August. Ii was formerly calculated
that the groups from which these come
pass between us and the sun on May IL,
and February T. respectively. Now 1t
happens that toward May II. and pre-
cisely on the 10th, 18th, 18th, and 18th
OF that month there is noticeable
and well verified lowering of the tenn
perature in Europe north of the Alps.
For this reason those days which are
sacred TO Saints Mamertus, Pancras,
Seryadius and Boniface have given the
.ame Of the saints OF ice" 10 their
patrons. the "Eisheiligen" of the Ger
mans. But nowadays this belief is no
longer upheld by sober demonstra-
tions. The saints OF ice" are explained
by the general laws of atmospheric
movements, and it is proven that the
shooting stars have nothing to do with
them. The same conclusion will doubt
less be reached regarding the lowered
temperature in February.-O. +. Bian-

CRAIG COLONY'S THIRD YEAR
Growing Success In the New Treat
ment of INDECENT Epileptics
mt Sonyen, N. Y.

The annual report of the managers OF
the Craig colony for epileptcs at Son
yea, Livingston county, n. Y, shows
that since the opening of the institu-
tion to patients in 1896, 410 epileptics
lave been received there, 20 of whom
remain. The colony is state institu-
ton and the report is made TO the state
hoard of charities. The managers say
that according to the estimates of their
superintendent, even after the capacity
of the colony i. increased TO 600 beds,
there will remain in hospitals, aims
lcuses and asylums and in the homes
OF the INDECENT poor 600 more victims
of epilepsy. The managers are be-
siesed by friends and relatives of cpl
leptics who wish to secure the admit
tance OF these sufferers. They ask that
the state further increase the capacity
and facilities Of the colony, and declare
that with the third year of experience
with the scheme OF colonization they
are more than ever convinced of It's eX-
cellence as method of caring for epi-
leptics.
The scheme of the colony includes
the segregation of the patients in small
families, diversity OF occupation, coun-
try life and the general benefits of
farm colony where the patients have
tie outdoor work OF gardening and IN
dustrial employment at mechanical oc-
equations. The regular life, diet and
employment of the muscles have con-
t,ibuted to improve tie inmates phys
ically and mentally, the report says
and to diminish the frequency and Sc
verify of epileptic attacks.
"We require that the same care shall
be exercised by the cook in the prepara-
ten OF food in the Kitchen" says the
report, "that the apothecary exercises
in the pharmacy in the compounding
Of medicines, and, while we have con-
t:nuously made it practice to give al
new remedies trial and to try the old
ones in new combinations, we must say
that we have not as yet met with that
degree of success in the drug treatment
ot the disease that leads us to think
that proper diet and systematic exer-
else should stand in inferior relation to
the former!"
The percentage of deaths during the
year was 3 4l-53, The colony farm is
nearly 1000 acres in extent. What was
prod duced on ii and in the various de-
partments of the colony during The year
was valued at $50, ,ss9o3. Fifteen pa

The Ideal Hotel,

The ideal Of the new manager is the
anticipation of every wish and the
meeting of it with the least display. In
the best Of hotels guest seems to have
no need of giving the slightest thought
for his care or for his comfort. OF
course. he pays for this, and yet en- the
whole the charges are moderate when
1t is remembered what he has received
for them. In fact, thoughtfuln.ss has
gone so far that in the largest Of Amer
ican hotels there has recently been es-
tabished national bank known by
the name OF the hotel. whose business
Is almost exclusively devoted to the con-
venience of the guests Of the hotel and
those who are connected with it.-E. j
Eiwards, in Chautauquan.

TIMELY REMEDIES.
They VIII Be Found Useful to Those
Who A.e Afflicted with
COrnH.

To cure an ordinary case of chilblain,
take piece of lemon, sprinkle fine salt
over it. and rub the feet WELL sure
cure for broken chilblains is the follow
ing: Take a quarter of pint of oil OF
sweet almonds, one ounce of Venice tur-
pentine, three ounces of beeswax cut
into shreds; melt all together in white
ware pot, and then put aside to cool,
stirring occasionally to prevent the
preparation from becoming too hard.
Spread this ointment on lint, and keep
the chilblains covered with it at night,
and as much of the day as is prac-
ticable.
If you are troubled with soft corns, do
not fail to try the following treatment:
Soak the feet well at night in hot water,
in which has been dissolved few crys-
tails of permanganate of potash. Then
dry carefully, especially between the
toes, and dust the skin in these parts
freely with a mixture of fannie acid
and boracic acid. Next morning wash
carefully with pure soft soap and cold
water, thoroughly dry, and powder
with boracic acid.
A piece of lemon or split raisin bound
on hard corn will very often cure it.
The first applica ton may produce sore
ness, but if treatment is persisted in
reasonable length of time, cure will
likely be effected. If not, try the fol-
lowing preparation: Thirty grains of
salicylic acid and five grains of Indian
hemp, to be dissolved in half an ounce
OF collodion.
For tired and tender feet, nothing 10
better than to battle the feet and legs
from five to eight minutes in hot water
in which has been dissolved handful
of good sea salt. Rub briskly with a
coarse towel and apply slices of lemon
to the soles of the feet.
For cracked and chapped hands and
lips: Three drachms of camphor, three
of white wax and three of spermacetti,
two ounces of sweet olive oil. Put the
ingredients into jar. Set in sauce
pan of boiling water and let it melt,
stirring all the time. Pour, while hot.
| into little jars.-Philadelphi Press.

HOW LOUD is A SOUND?
An instrument Has Been Invented
That Proves There Is
No Silence.

There is no such thing as silence.
What men call silence includes all
noises below the limit at which the hu-
man ear will register sound, but silence
is really full of sounds that pass un-
noticed.
This interesting fact has just been
revealed by an instrument invented by
Prof. A. G. Webster, of Clark university,
to photograph sound.
The device can photograph any sound
from the roar of an explosion to the
noise made by draught of air passing
through a room.
The machine consists of a set of NOV
able mirrors and prisms, which act in
conjunction with a diaphragm.
The slightest sound will cause this
diaphragm to vibrate. On the inner
side of the diaphragm is attached a
very small circular mirror weighing
fraction of a grain.
When a sound, however slight, enters
the resonator, or receiver of the instru-
ment, the diaphragm, and consequently
the small mirror, vibrate backward and
forward, and a small beam of light is
sent careening about among the other
mirrors and prisms, and is made finally
to resolve itself into a series of colored
fringes.
These fringes are projected through
q series of Sits in screen, until by the
time the light reaches the Photographic
plate it takes the form of waving line.
This waving line is projected on a
screen by means of a lantern, and may
be viewed, if necessary, by number Of
persons at once.-London Mail.

Waste of Animal Life in Africa.

Although in some particulars oxen
show undoubted intelligence, in many
ways they are great fools. Thus they
seem to have no knowledge of what is
or is not good for them to eat. In Natal
there grows an herb called tulip"
which is almost certain death to cattle,
a fact with which they must have been
acquainted for generations. Yet they
seem TO eat it greedily whenever they
get the chance. Once I lost about 20
valuable trek-oxen frcm this cause
alone. This and the tale of the horse
sickness, to say nothing of the recent
record of rinderpest, will show the
reader that farming in Africa is not
without its risks. Indeed, know no
country where the waste Of animal life
is SO tremendous, although doubtless
as the land becomes inclosed and
proper buildings and winter food are
provided, it will greatly lessen.-Long-
mans Magazine.

seems to have become fxed in the minds Of
strangers, crowding out all knowledge Of
her wonderfully fertile soil Little thought
Is ever given to the l2,Ooe miles of irriga-
CATION canals that have been constructed,
and the 2, 600, 900 acres Of land which have
thus far been made productive. Yet, out
out Of 81 exhibits from Colorado at the
worlds fair. eighty-one special premiums
were awarded, covering all kinds Of fruit
and produce. The wheat exhibit attracted
wide attention, and twenty-five awards
were given it alone, the largest number
received by any one state in the Union.
The fruit industry has reached "a, 900, 600
year and Is yet in its infancy. Sugar beet
culture is profitable industry. The min
eral wealth Of the state, which leads all
other states in the Union in the output Of
gold and silver, does not compare with her
agricultural wealth. A handsome and pro-

But when l am dreaming | have no

dreams with my waking world. for I

preston OF having always lived the life

II ask whether am not dreaming II
is merely verbal expression, with no
accompanying sense of the meaning
of it. Another distinction, and the only
absolutely clear one, is that while we

At one OF these they halted for the

1t? All, well, woman was naught to
him; he had seen enough of women In
his time. he hadi His other remarks
were so full Of imprecations and BIAS
phemy that Mr.. Hall ceased to interro-
gate him.
On the second day they halted about
noon In sight of the sand-hills. This
was the great barrier which they knew
lay between the grass country on the
Barrier side and the Gray Ranges.
Mr.. Hall had wisely insisted upon all
the water-bags being fifilled up at the
last good water-hole; and he felt con-
WINGED that. with the supply they car
ried. the fifty or sixty miles of desert
ought to be safely crossed by man and
beast.
1t was within two hours of shutdown
when the little party entered the I'M
known region. The horses staggered
YEARLY along, occasionally sinking in
to the sand up to their knees, and
struggling through the scrub and
prickly mimosa which grew plentifully
in places upon the low hills.
Nightfall came on, and the cavaicade
encamped; there was no sign of water,
and they had to draw upon the supply
they carried with them.
Jack Hall had more than once enter
ed these inhospitable regions in search
of lost cattle, and he was under the be-
lief that more fertile country lay be-
yond it-how far distant OF course ne
could not say; but, from what he had
gathered from the blacks he believed
three days would see them through the
worst of it.
For two long days the travellers toiled
on through the heavy drifts Of sand,
but towards shutdown on the third day
they beheld trees ahead, at the sight OF
which their spirits rose amazingly.
Mr.. Hall ordered half-ratiops of wa
ter to be served out to the men and
horses, for he was by no means conf
dent, because he beheld trees In the dim
distance, that he was going to find a
