Older Girls.

Gowns for young girls from 10 to 10
are fashioned of soft wooden stuffs,
either plain or in some of the novelty
combinations or plaids. The skirts
are plain, all trimming being confined
to the bodice, which is made more or
less elaborate, according to the occa-
sion for which the costume is designed.
For school wear a guimpe of taffeta
silk either of the same color or of a
contrasting hue is utilized in order to
give lighter effect This guimpe is
tucked or shirred. Often the sailor
blouse is used and then the silk or
brodacloth collar and shield are put
on perfectly plain and smooth, filling
the throat lightly, and exhibiting no
ornamentation save the handsomely
naval design in the center
of the shield. A very attractive gown
OF this description is Of dark blue serge,
the wide collar and the shield being of
pale blue silk embroidered in black.
The same effects are shown in the sail
or blouses intended for the boys, the
serge collar being supplemented by a
shield and with collar of blue, red,
brown, black or white silk, as the
buyer may fancy The vestee suits
for small boys continue to be popular,
the little cutaway jacket and the knlck-
erbocker of blue, brown or black,
while the vest is of some fancy color
or two-tOne novelty cloth.
Norfolk blouse suits and Russian de-
signs are shown Coats are either OF
broadcloth for the younger children,
made with triple capes and wide belts.
or OF the heavier cloths for the older
boys and youths, chinchilla effect in
black and gray cheviot or frieze being
the proper thing.
AS for the women's clothes, they con-
tinue to be very gorgeous in coloring
and extremely pronounced in cut. In
order to have the proper fit they must
be worn over silk tights, petticoats
being entirely eliminated.
At a recent dinner ten OF the twelve
women present wore no skirts under
their exquisitely fitting evening gowns,

g. The fact that ticket bought Tor i
stheater and not Used on the date
stamped on it is always good for an ad.
mittance is not generally known, and
probably theater managers would take
very little trouble to spread knowledge
OF the fact; butt is nevertheless true,
says the New York Sun. "A man who
buys q reserved seat for theater,"
said q theater treasurer who handles
more tickets every season than any
other in New York, "may not use it
on the evening for which he bought it.
Good for this date only may be
stamped on the pasteboard. That
would seem to mean that the ticket
could be used at no other time. Prob
ably most of the public accepts that
as proving the impossibility OF max
ing use OF the ticket, and therefore few
make any attempt to get the worth
of their money when they were pre-
vented by any cause from using the
ticket on the date marked on. it. But
it could be presented at any time and
would be good for an admission. Any
theater manager would have to recog-
.nize the holders right to enter the
theater, although that i. would, Of
course, carry: with it no right to the
seat. It is that right which is limited
by the printed date. For all other
purposes the ticket'is qlite as good as
il used on the date it bears"

show Many More Female Gene
tenarians Than Males.

It is strange but true that the most
delicate child often outlives his
stronger brother or sister. Many in
stances are on record Of the long sur
vival of those who seemed destined to
die early. It is said of Voltaire, who
lived to be 81 years old, that he was
so delicate at birth he could not be
baptized for several months. Sir Isaac
Newton, the doctors said, would not
live week, but he: celebrated his
eighty-ffth birthday. Fontenelle lived
to be 100, although he was so frail at
birth that the priest had to go to his
home to baptize him. d
Even more interesting than this il the
statement by Prof. Buchner that it is
possible for q woman to preserve her
youthful beauty even to her old age,
or, in some instances, to regain it. The
marguise of Mirabeau died at sc with
all the marks of youth in her face.
Margaret Verdun at IS smoothed out
the wrinkles, her hair grew again and
her third set of teeth appeared. Cases
of this third dentitionare not rare.
The professor has still further hope
for. the fair sex in the announcement
that women live longer than men. Our
French woman, Marie Prioux, who died
in 1888, was said to be 1853 years old.
Statistics of the various countries on
thispoint are remarkable. In Germany
only .413 of 1000 males reach the age,
of so, while more than 500 Of 1000 fe-
males reach that age. In the United
States there. are 2,5s3 female to 1898
male centenarians. In France, of ten
centenarians seven were women and
only three men. In the rest of Europe,
of 81 centenarians 16 were women.
The Oldest person now living is held
10 be Annie Armstrong, who is 1T
years old, and lives in little town in
County Clare, Ireland.

fact. But it is to their interest to be

Fortune Left to Science.


BY his will the late Alfred Nobel, the
Swedish dynamite manufacturer, left
almost the whole of his fortune to be
converted into an International fund
for the advancement of scientific re-
search. The bequest, however, was dis
puted by the relatives of the deceased,
and litigation ensued. It is now an
nounced that a compromise has been
reached whereby the relatives receive
about 100000 of the property, the bal
ance, amounting to about S., 000, 900, be-
ing used as designated by Mr.. Nobel.
This will give, under the terms of the
will, five prizes annually of about SAL
600 each to persons making the most
important discovery in physics, chem
istry, physiology or medicine. {:

GOOD FIGHTERS.
Have Their Own Share
Of Courage.

The Fiipinos are certainly showing
that they have their full share Of cour-
nge. In the lotee* hards 6shtine around
Manila they were forced to give way
before the determined American ad-
vance, but the losses they endured
proved how well they stood their
ground against the forces far superior
in equipment, arms, leadership and skill
in the use of modern weapons, says the
Cleveland Leader.
The soldiers who served Aguinardo
had the advantage of fighting on the
defensive and of knowing the, country
better than the Americans. The cli-
mate was also in their favor. But the
difference in the losses sustained shows
that they were essentially overmatched.
Few natives of semi-civilized or savage
countrieswould have stood their ground
so we'll, under like conditions. Nothing
more can be asked of men, as test of
courage, than their willingness to fight
until they die, and it is clear that many
of the Malays in Luzon have been ready
for that supreme test of bravery.
It is evident that the fighting powers
of the Filipinos were much underesti-
mated, at first, by the American off,
GERS who held commands in Manila.
Their stubborn resistance to the Span
iards was too largely attributed to
the ineffciency of the Spanish soldiers.
It seems rather to have: been due to
the courage and natural prowess of the
Fiipinos themselves. The Spanish in
fantry proved; at Santiago that it could
dosdeadly work in battle, and the losses
of the Filipinos in their last rebellion
against Spain were heavy. ~ >@"* 4 =
