On most of the redingote dresses and
many of the princess gowns for dressy
aft rnoon functions the familiar
straight fronts are avoided, and the
edres cut in long curving scallops-
thus, when the length of an ordinary
coat is reached curve is made and the
material cut away in the space of
three-eighths of yard or more. When
two-thirds of a yard of the skirt-length'
is traversed another backward scallop
ia made as before, terminating at the
skirt edge. The bodice portion is
usually open-fronted and low cut,
above a gimp of shirred silk muslin
over silk or satin, gathered into a
beaded band around the neck. At a
public entertainment Of a fashionable
hotel recently a gown exactly after
the style described was worn. A mar
row lire Of otter fur finished the edges
of skirt and waist, the gown was of
gray, repped silk and wool, and the
gimp Of pink, crimson and green ma,

Danish Method of Curing Cheese.

Denmark and Holland are the largest
exporters OF dairy products in Europe.
In both of these countries the most
intelligent thought is given to the per-
fecting of all processes in that branch
of agriculture. A Danish method, re-
Gently devised, to prevent the genera
ton of mites in cheese is said to be
entirely effective. The process con-
sists IN continually whitewashing the
rooms in which the cheescs are cured
until the mites are destroyed, the
cheeses before being placed in these
apartments being stepped in brine for
a whole day. During their stay of a
fortnight in the curing room they are
carefully scraped and wiped daily.
Finally they are washed in lime water
and are then stored on thoroughly
clean shelves. Unfortunately Danish
cheeses, for thorough test of this
process, are not so subject to the gen.
Grafton of mites as are French and
Italian sorts. If these could be freed
from the attack of mites through the
use of the Dahish process, it's value
would be irestimable.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by +. j. Cheney tS Co., Toledo,

The Queer Ways of Birds.

One fine day batch of tiny parra-
keets from neighboring island ar
rived, and L congratulated myself on
having at last acquired some amiable
members of my bird community. Such
gentle creatures were never seen.
With their pale-green plumage and
the little gray hooded heads which
easily explained their name of "capu-
chin," they made themselves quite
happy in one of the many domes or
cupolas Of the Arab cage. In few
days, however, mysterious ailment
broke out among all the other birds.
Nearly every bird seemed suddenly to
prefer going about on one leg. This
did not surprise me very much at
at first, as the mosquitoes used to
bite their little legs cruelty, and I
was always contriving net curtains,
etc, to keep these pests out. At last
it dawned on me that many of the
canaries had actually only one leg.
An hours careful watching showed
me parrakeet siding up to q canary,
and after feigninS to be deeply alb
sorbed in its own toilet, proening each
gap wing feather most carefully, the
little wretch would give q sudden
swift nip at the slender leg of ite
neighbor, and absolutely bite it OF,
Of course, [ Immediately turned the
capuchins out OF the cage with much
obloquy, but too late to save several
of my poor little pets from one
legged existence. The Cornhill.

KEEPING DOWN COMPOSITION COST.
How a Publisher May Maintain Manual
Training School to His ProHt,

How a Publisher May Maintain n Manual
Training School to His Proft,
The question of typesetting is
mighty important in country Office.
Here is how one wide-awake pub
Usher solved the problem, with bene-
fit to himself and others.
He advertised for a bright girl to
learn typesetting, giving her to under
stand that she was to be taught the
trade thoroughly. But he did not
promise her regular work. He said
he should have occasional rushes,
when there would be an opportunity
to earn little pin money. The ex-
planation of his scheme is this: After
the first week, an average girl will set
fairly clean proof, and at the end of
the third or fourth, will do almost as
much as an experienced hand. This
publisher offered to teach the girls,
who generally live with their parents
in small town or city. the business,
but would not agree to pay them any
thing. He never lacked for girls
anxious to learn, and he soon had a
large reserve force to draw upon in an
emergency.
A variation, which works satisfac.
torily in most cases, is to give the
girls whatever they make, after the
first month, or whenever they become
competent to correct their own proof.
1t is always well, too, when making
such an arrangement, to suggest that
they learn to read their own proofs,
and correct them, which in case of
calling them in to assist in rush at
some future time will be great help.
1t may be objected that this is i'm
posing heavy responsibilities upon the
girls; but if the matter is fully eX-
planned at the start, and they accept
the offer, there is no injustice in it.
And there is always the possibility OF
its being source of profit to them at
some future time. -Newspaperdom.

1t Is foolishness to make the coats
of young children of heavy material.
Children must be kept warm, but
weight does not always mean warmth.
and child should not feel its clothes
burden. Many a little tot comes in
from what ought to have been a re-
freshing walk weary and we'll nigh ex-
hausted, because of the weight of the
coat it has worn. A layer of wadding
between the material and its lining
gives warmth without adding much to
the weight of a pretty coat and velvet,
satin, poplin, cashmere, camers hair,
Bedford cord and other soft coatings

WISE WORDS.

True love is always liberal.
Hope is tonic for patience.
The unpardonable sin is to refuse
to love.
A diamond is worth moro than its
settings.
An excess of harmless amusement is
harmful.
You can't mend your manners with
a needle.
Public favor is a poor platform to
stand on.
Kind words take less breath than
harsh ones.
People always notice the spots on
the raiment of pride.
The man who lives for self has q
very small object to live for.
Our eyes have double vision-out-
ward and inward. The outward looks
at those we meet, the inward beholds
ourselves. The outward detects faults,
the inward, sees perfection.
The man who says he will do wrong
If som cone else does not right has al
ready done wrong in his mind, and is
casting about for poor excuse with
which to justify imself.-Ram's

Counting the dancing notes in q
bar of sunlight sounds like one of
those hopeless, never-ending tasks
with which malignant fairies delight
to break the spirits of little heroines
in the German folk stories. Something
more than this, however, has been
achieved by modern science, which is
now able to count the particles float
ing in any given portion Of the atmos-
phere, says Pearsons Weekly, and de-
termine what proportion of these are
dangerous germs and what are mere
dust. DR.. Franklands experiments
have shown us how to count the micro
organisms, and now a Scotch scientist,
by a totally different method, has been
enabled to take stock of the more
harmless but hardly less interesting
dust notes. Thirty thousand such par
ticles have been detected by him in
the thousandth of a cubic inch of the
air in a room. In the outside atmos-
phere in dry weather the same meas
urement of air yielded 2,119, whereas
after heavy rainfall the number was
only 521. That this power of prying
into atmospheric secrets will eventual
ly yield very important results must be
obvious to all. Among the most curl
GUS discoveries already made is the
direct and constant relation which ex-
lists between dust particles and fogs,
