with u club in 1897, the Indian Socka-
lexis, is a wreck in every way" said one
OF the st. LOUIS players today. Socks
was a tremendous drawing card in 1897.
Thousands of people came to see, not the
game, but the indian. In New York and
other places where we used to dress at
the grounds, a fearful crowd would press
about the rooms to see the aborigine
come forth. His picture was in every
paper IN America, his arms, his legs, his
batting eye, every part of him was photo
graphed and reproduced. Poor old Lo,
he never got a bit swelled. but he has lots
of friends who wanted to buy for him,
ana ne was good enough to let them do
II. Result soon came, and Socks had to
quit the game. He was a true Indian.
When he got the red mans burden on he
always was ashamed. He would come
INTO the hotel sinking behind doors and
pillars like his great ancestors SUNK be-
hind trees. From his ambush he would
peep to see IT Tebeau was around. Socks
is now in Cleveland for want of a better
place. He hangs out with a gang of
walters who work at restaurants and sa-
looms. The gang is divided into three
crews, one for each meal. The gang
steals grub and fetches it to Socks He
has a place to sleep. and for all this he
pays by rushing the GROWER. He was
around in the coolest days of last winter
without shoes or clothes. He Jre he
frigid weather with true barbarin Ltoi-
cism. Yet, if this poor savage had only
been born without the indian love for
strong water he would today be drawing
a salary of $2,400 for five months work
of three hours each day. But the indian
was strong in him, and he is past re-
demption. Socks was sure death on a
straight high ball and was quite a
thrower, but he had some grave short
comlngs in the field. Withal, he was
good to draw as big a salary as any man
in the league had he behaved himself.'

New York, April Tt is fortunate
that beauty is its own excus for being.
The spring wrap is eminently decora-
tive, and, in a degree, the buttertiy's
wings are serviceable.
With its foam and froth of ribbons and
ruff1es and laces, the little cape now Of
fered to womankind belongs to the sun
shine and sweet air just as do the leaves
and blossoms, and the wide hats covered
with giant roses, and the spiders cano-
pies called parasols. But unlike natures
handiwork, a womanfs a%dornings never
bloom the brighter for a rain.
The most charming and least useful Of
all the new wraps are long scarves Of
Alencon lace. which are meant to he
draped around the shoulders. crossed
over the bosom. knotted at the back Of
the waist. and allowed to fall over the
train of the dress behind. At some of the
prettiest spring weddings these scarves
will be features of the bridesmaids COS
tunes.
Not dissimi!ar are certain dainty
French fchu capes that whimsically
suggest an impossible rapfochement of
laughter-loving Marie A~ntoinette and
the grave Puritan maiden in simple gray
and snowy kerch!ef. One of these quaint
and flimsy creations is of plain black
Chantiny net wonderfully frilled with or
child ribbons. Like the AioncOn scarves.
it is meant to cross in front and be knot
ted behind. En- suite with this cape,
which is part Of an elaborate trOusseau,
is a hat of fine Tuscan straw draped with
embroidered gold net and trimmed with
white plumes which droop over Capu-
cine roses.
Capes proper range from very short to
medium short, and while nine in ten are
covered with frills of the most diaphan-
Gus fabrics, a few are as prettily priln
and old-time in cut and finish as if res
cued from an attic chest where they had
lain for a hundred years.
Perhaps the quaintest of all models is
shawl-shaped, pointed in the back,
rounding up in front. and reminiscent of
dear, old-school stately ladies, though in
tended to adorn the younger and more
frivolous of their grandchildren. The
material is black satin, and the decora-
tions are three shallow, s%calloping
ounce of oper jetwork over puffings of
white chiffon: these are set around the
shoulders, at the level of the elbows and
just below the waist line. The cape has
a high collar ined with chiffon puffs,
and is fastened by falling ends of wide
ribbon, caught by an old fashioned buck
lie of gold and silver filigree.
Jaunty little capes reaching just to the
elbows are most numerous among the
models, some of these ~accenting the
dropping shoulders of last season, others
of squarer cut and build. High collars
filled in with lace or chiffon are uni
versal, bows and scarf ends in, front of
ribbon or plated chiffon almost as much
SO. Black and pale gray are the colors,
though brighter tints are numerous; the
materials are ~taffeta, peau de sole, satin
MORE, miroir velvet, lace net and gren-
adine over silk anything that strikes
the gancy of the design.

NEW DISCOVERY.

New York Tribune: At a meeting of
the French Acadamy of Science, NJ.
BouChard told Of some observations made
by him upon the thoracic organs by means
of the Roentgen rays. Among other
things. he was enabled to assert the eX-
istence of a marked d@ilatation of the au-
ricles when the intra-thOracic blood pres
sure is raised during inspiration-this
condition being artiticially brought about
by endeavOring to inspire with the CLOTHS

the violent inspirations during a parOX-

greens or blues, while the coat is made
of very smooth, plain c 10th in the pre-
dominating color of the plaid, the re-
vers and cuffs matching the skirt. Plaids
whose colors nothing short of a break
fast food advertisement could counte-
nance are also popular, and instead of
being used for Innings of coats and skirts,
they appear on the outsides of our walk
ing garments.
1t is sometimes impossible to avoid the
thought that somebody's cape has &C.
cidently been turned inside out, when
you see-so far as the tartan is concern
ed-the Campbells coming along Broad
pattern, the plaid woolens having a lining
of plain face cloth, which shows only
short, gored frillS at the bottom.
There is the usual assortment of box
coats in ar or putty colored cloth, as
well as many new models of the tunic
coat, which came in late in the winter.
This is really a polonaise, double-cape
collar. 1t is shown in brick tan cloth,
and a faddish accompaniment, either for
this or for a Directoire coat, is the walk
ing stick affected by fashionable young
women. Miss Virginia Fair, now Mrs.
w. X. Vanderbilt, Jr., is one of those who
hav taken up the notion, but would be
imitators should remember that only by
a tall woman should such articles be
welded. The most elegant sticks are OF
ebony or tortoiseshell wood, and have
beautifully enamelled or jewelled heads.
A smartly cut coat of new shape has
rounded fronts, and is nearly covered
with a design of white stitching; it turns
back with revers of white MORE, decked
with black velvet ribbon appllques.
Equally mod is a fawn cloth coat.
heavily embroidered with silk braid, and
having Innings, collar facings and but
tons in cerise. The turn down collar is
of black cloth, the short basques at the
back of black velvet.
Among simpler garments there are
numberless Etons and Elton coats, and
plain, short. tight-fitting cutaways,
whose small revers turn back just
enough to show the necktie and which
fastem with horn buttons. The cutaWay
never goes out, any more than the cor
responding fashion for men. 1t may
vary a little in length, in the style of
sleeve. or in the size and shape of the
revers: but to all intents and purposes it
is the same garment from season to sea-
son. Many women prefer this cOat so
strongly as to cling to it whatever the
| novelties. Some of the open coats have
rather high collars. which flare from the
neck, but most of the collars turn dONn
either round or square.
4 dainty and more or less useful dress
! accompaniment for elaborate walking
costumes is a ribbon of the color OF the
skirt which is fastened in a butterfly

sweeping lengths off the ground. The

Shower muffs. the shower composed of
falling vines, feathers and flowers are a
spring novelty. and often correspond IN
color with a fluffy tulle or chiffon boa.

convenience, for it is s~trikingly devoid
of both; but because of the cohesion
among fashions. The dolman was last
used between the years 1881 and 1883
when there arose the so-called aesthetic
craze. Certain people who admired the
pre-Raphaelite costume, as their eyes
saw it, sought to introduce its forms
with many a sad and degraded color and
much maWkish sentiment.
The result. Which was not true pre-
Raphaelite, but d confused hashing up
of the gowns of 1904 without an UNDER
standing of their originalt-he flowing
lines of a Greek chiton-Was a long,
clinging skirt, scant about the hips and
entangling to the heels, like the extreme
of this springs fashion.
In the ever revolving cycle Of dress
we have come around again to this per-

with more cheerful color harmonies,

its unhygienic features, including a wrap

Some physicians ave advanced the
fanciful theory that cases of nervous

ing that the diaphragm and the pericar-

to the following facts: During the forced
descent Of the diaphragm in a large in
spiration the inferior surface of the heart
is in contact with the diaphragm to a.
very limited extent; the pericardium

BURIED TREASURE UNEARTHED.

Austin (TeXaS) Cor. st. LOui Globe
Democrat: A few days ago Mr.. Jesus
Cuerreror, from the City of Mexico, ar
rived at Abbott, Texas, with a chart of
Abbott and the surrounding neighbour
hood. In the middle of the chart was a
black spot, supposed to designate the To-
cation of a cave, in which it was claimed
was buried a mahogany o containing
considerable money. Consent was Sc
cured from d. G.. Carr, who owned the
land where the treasure was buried. and
digging commenced. Late yesterday the
box was located and eXtricated from it's
lodging place, where, no doubt, it had
rested for 3S years. In it was $4,000
Confederate money. 81, 600 in gold mug
gets, 81 ,000 or 1000 in different denomi-
nations of gold. and about a gallon of
small foreign silver pieces. The box was
undoubtedly buried during the civil war.
1t was securely banded with large strips
of sheet iron. The locators refuse to tell
exactly what the box contained, and it is
believed to be a very rich find.

ELECTRIC BARBER SHOP.

London Standard: A very animated
description of a barber shop in which
i,ioat OF the familiar operations are con-
uucted by electricity is given by L'Elec-
trlcien. For example, hot water is OBJ
famed by passing the stream Of a hy-
dfant through a German silver tube in
d soapstone case, the tube being electric
ally heated, SO that the water is nearly
pollllS when it passes out of the spigot
for the crlmping of the frizZes of our
young women there is no longer necessity
Tor fecourse to the hot iron. For a long
tlhle the defects of this method of heat
ing nave been noticed, for the capillary
to produce a very desirable effect, The
IRON in the heating apparatus too long.
so that when it is used with blonde or
brown nan If it does not make a burn it
makes the hair red, which is even more
DISASTROUS"
The new curling irons heat themselves.
IN the interior of the rods is a fero-
nickel wire, which can be brought up to
the proper temperature, and will then re-
mann at this same temperature indefin-
ltely. But 1T is in the cutting of the hair
that electricity has produced the most
complete revolution. The scissors have
slowly given way to clipping machines.
ana these, in their turn, must disappear
before an electrically heated platinum
wire, with which the hair may be burned
off. The apparatus, as described con-
sists of a metallic comb, along one side of
which is stretched the hot wire, and as
this is passed through the hair the red
hot wire burns it off neatly and smoothly,
and at the same time seals up the end
of the hair, it being supposed in this way
to produced a very desirable effect. The
method is, of course, entirely a%ntiseptic,
but it hardly seems likely that the air of
a BARRIERS shop will be very pleasant
when these new methods obtain a wide
popularity.
