THE New Trimmings.

Most of the trimming favorites Of
autumn and winter are repeated for
ornamenting spring materials. Black
mohair scrolls with feather edge will
be freely used, owing to the popular
price at which they can be sold.
Black silk trimmings in scroll de-
signs will be next in favor. Garnitures
in both worsted and silk will be espec-
tally desirable Recommending waists
and skirts. All of the foregoing are
in weights appropriate for spring ma
terials.
Black and colored silk applique
trimmings on chiffon grounds are the
fayorites for spring and summer silks
and dress goods that are sheer in tex
ture. .
One of the pronounced novelties in
trimmings will be Persian bands for
trimming plain silks and plain wool
veilings, and in the very elaborate
costumes they will be employed for
supplying narrow founces. Narrow
widths to match are also in vogue for
sleeve ornamentation, and add much
to the beauty Of materials of one
color.
Narrow shirred ribbons have lost
none of their popularity, and will be
appropriate for embellishing summer
silks and sheer woolen materials.
White embroideries may be set
down as certain to meet with universal
favor for trimming both white and col
ored wash materials. Insertion will
also be freely employed on both white
and colored wash fabrics.
Fashion has given ahigh position to
laoes, and if present indications may
be relied on as rejecting coming
events in the fashionable world lsces
will be used in profusion. Both black
and white will be associated for trim
ming as this com mbination is an
nourced as leading one for the COM
ing season and very free use will also
be made Of black velvet ribbons for
trimmings. american Queen.

has been pefsistently reported that
Attorney General Crow has agreed
with the seyenty-three insurance
companies ousted under the SUI
preme court for violation of the
anti trust law, to consent to a
modification of he order to allow
them to continue on payment of
fine and the filing Of certificates
and affidavits that they had dis
solved their western union, and
that they would in future obey the
anti trust law.
Today Attorney General Crow
stated that proposition of that
character had been made TO him,
but he had not accepted it; that
the matter was in the hands of the
supreme court, and that it alone
had power to act. He thinks the
companies shonld reduce rates in
this state for insurance. They
made a stubborn resistance to the
suit in the courts, and now he feels
that they should be punished.

Fooled by a Ga. Machine.

were almost beyond computation and
certainly beyond her purse, had n of
the quarter in the slot machines put in

in keeping tab on her gas expenditure.
These machines, by the way, are fed a

Toward evening Of the day in which
the machine was installed she wended
her way to the slot and deposited he,

How This True Child of the Desert
Goes Through Life.

How This True Child of the Desert
Goes Through Life.
How dreamily that Bedouin life,
with its uneventfulness and it's fatal
ism, fitted the time and the placel
Here was a poor Arab who did not
know how old he was, but he could
look farther into heaven than I could.
His mother had borne him while the
aravan was on its way to Mecca. He
had worked as a laborer on the Suez
canal, and he had been a dog knacker
in Constantinople before that. He had
gone hungry in the wadies of Idumaea,
and had run as a cameleer barefoot in
the burning sands of Arabia Petr@a.
He had vegetated into manhood on the
lower stratum of this strange oriental
existence, content to believe that life
was an unavoidable curse, with a drow-
sy intimation of eternity in it, always
associated with the tinkling of bells,
the rattle of c%astanets and the sweet
smell of Beirut tobacco.
But he could see some things that
were beyond my vision, and I wondered
if this true child Of the desert, born un-
der indigo skies, of q rae that had been
guided since the days of Moses and
Menephtah by the pillars of fire by
night, had not preserved some powers
of vision that were common to the
primeval man. He never lost the true
oriental disdain for enterprise and con-
temporaneous disturbance, and he made
an engineer feel that his work, seen in
the light of the unperturbed stars. was,
after all, an impertinence to a true
pariah.-'Ghosts In Jerusalem, by A.

Light From Sugar.

A phenomenon, the cause of which
has not yet been satisfactorily explain
ed, was described at a meeting of the
British association. Disks Of loaf sugar
were mounted on a lathe and rapidly
rotated while a hammer played lightly
against them. An almost continuous
radiation of light was thus produced
from the sugar. It was shown that the
light did not arise from heating of the
sugar. and it is believed to be caused
by some change taking place in the
sugar crystals. The act of crystalliza-
ton is known to be sometimes accom-
panied by flashes of light. The practi-
cal bearing of these experiments is on
the question of the possibility Of obtain
ing artificial light by methods as yet
untried. YOUTHS Companion.
