No Judge of Drygoods.

An exceedingly we'll dressed woman
sat i'll an elevated railway Car the other
day, and opposite her was an elderly
man. The woman got up to leave the
car at Twenty-third street, and in the
corner of the seat where she had been
sitting the man spied piece of black
net. Jumping for it he called out:
Madam, you have left yolr veilr'
AS she took no notice of him he
dashed down the aisle after her, and

Preparing Milk for Shipment.

The destruction by pressure of the
bacteria which causes milk to sour
promises ITO revolutionize the ship
ment and handling Of milk. Recently
the Government has been applying
enormous hydraulic pressure to sam
Piles of milk inclosed in collapsible
tin tubes. placed in strong hollow
steel cylinders, the pressure ranging
from 100 pounds to 100 tons per square
inch.
It was found that at ordinary
temperatures milk subjected to
pressuras of ten to fifteen tons
for as many days was sweet at
the end of the test, while at lower
pressures the souring was not
delayed. Pressures OF thirty tons
applied for one hour delayed souring
for upward of twenty-four hours as
compared with check samples. Press
ures of seventy to ninety-five tons for
several minutes to one hour kept milk
sweet from two to seven days. When
the temperature of the milk was raised
from 140 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit,
low pressures gave better results than
corresponding pressures at ordinary
temperatures.
Up to the present time it has been
impossible to completely destroy. all
the bacteria by means of pressure,
germ life being particularly tenacious.
Germs of typhoid fever, tuberculosis
and other diseases added to the milk
for experimental purposes were not
killed by the application of ten to 6f-
teen tons for eight days and upward.
The work, however, gives promise
of important results, and enough has
already been done to warrant the be.

about it in the morning. She always
gave him half of everything she had,
and besides, hadn't he bought all
those things for her? and even if he
ate the whole banana there would be
plenty of fruit left for her. So he ate
the whole of it, and then, halfashamed

And toll where he is laboring to-day?
Shall he at length retire in disgrace
To scrub aud cook and clear the plates

There is one who Is in power all the

Who will never cease from ruling you and

The chSrmins little woman with the

The woman may be noble and her mind
May be a mine of lore withal who meier
Lets the man who gazes at her visage find
The shadow OF a shipper lurking there;
But however good or gracious she may be
There's another to eclipse her all the

And the one who comes it over you and me
Is the foolish one who has the winning

oh, the diplomats may bring US lasting
peace;
They may stop the cruel wars on land

The bloodshed and the tyranny may cease.

And In spite of mans world wisdom and

Fiounces and Fringes.

The spring gowns will be more silky
and lacy. Flounces embroidered and
scalloped will be much seen in silks
and woolens.
There is no question that the silk
fringe which was introduced last fall
will be further used, and the innu.
merable narrow silk fringes, both on
the edges of scarfs, draperies, founces
and small shoulder affairs, will have a
most broad use. These fringes will
vary FROM the merest suggestion of
quarter of an inch on the ribbons
through the various widths and pro.
cesses of manufacture simple, twist
ed, knotted and tinseled-to the very
widest depths, which will be used as
fronts and to finish the bottoms OF
tabliers.

women members of the Woman's
Political League, of New Zealand, was
travelling in company with Minister
of Justice, when the conductor of the
train appeared and asked for tickets.
Not one of the party was provided.
One woman, however, with ready re-
sources, asked:
"What is the use of travelling with
a Minister if one cannot enjoy the
same privileges as hep"
The employee retired, not knowing
just how to reply, and reported the

pleasing result that a new regulation

a Cloth Costume a Necessity.

In spite of coats and skirts, an EN-

in every wardrobe. There are so
many bewitching little short Jackets
that can be worn with any gown that
it is very hard to resist buying them.
They are almost without exception in
the Eton shape at the back, but with
long tabs in front, are made of differ
ent colors in cloth, two shades of gray,
the lighter shade being used in the
reyers, collar and cuffs. In blue they
have facings of darker blue velvet,
and an outline of black satin making
the revers still larger. Then there
are the short velvet coats, of which
mention has been made before, aud a
