New Cravat Chains.

A pretty little novelty just making its
appearance is the cravat chain. 1t is a
little affair, which may serve other
purposes as we'll. as it is but a bit of
chain few inches long and terminal
ing in two balls about the size of a
hazel nut. These may be plain, dull
gold, with rhinestones or colored
stones set in designs, or they may
be merely scattered, or the ball may
be fattened, of blue enamel or imita-
ton turquoise, etched in some mys-
terious symbol. The chains are
passed double just below the knot of
the four-in- hand or Ascot, the balls
passing through the loop, thus secur-
ing it from slipping. The chain is
also found useful in securing the natty
little jackets in vogue this season,
when it is too warm to button them
all the way and is yet unl.s .rable to
have them hang without some conine-
ment. In fact, these pretty little
chains may be useful in many ways
for confining the folds of an umbrella
or securing dainty handkerchief to
ones parasol handle or fan, and be as
sured if my lady is so fortunate as to
possess one she will always find some
means of keeping it in evidence, pro-
vided it is handsome one, for it is
innate in womankind to like anything
in jewelry which partakes of the ma
ture of pendant or bangle. st. Louis

Short and Long Gown combinations.

Chicago tailors have invented a
combination gown for women which
promises to be immensely popular.
This is the skirt with the detachable
bottom. A skirt is cut that drops to
about golf length, and then, quite
separate from it, is made slightly
gored flounce, along the top edge of
which are worked many small button
holes. Now, when the day does not
promise smiling face the skirt is
worn out under it's abbreviated guise,
but if the eye of the morning is clear
then the buttonholes in the top of
the founce are connected with o
series of little buttons running along
the inner edge OF the skirts bottom,
and in about one moment complete
full-length walking garment OF the
latest fashionable form is the result.

The Scientific American of last week
contains an article illustrated with a fine
half tone cut describing the removal of
| the court house of Box Butte county
from Hemingford to Alliance, distance
of 10 miles. The job was first let to a
| citizen of Lincoln who, after jacking
| the building up, found his machinery
not equal to the task of carrying it and
threw up the contract. There was a
necessity of either voting $50 5000 bonds
or conveying the old building, which
was amply sufficient for present needs,
to its newly chosen location. The Bur-
lington road, which runs between the
two towns, is a heavy taxpayer and the
superintendent conceived the idea that
it would be cheaper to move the old
court house by rail than to pay its share
of the taxes. Accordingly the building
was loaded aboard four strong flat cars
and guyed to some heavily loaded Goa,
cars in front and behind. AS the rails
were less than five feet apart and the
building was IS feet wide it can bt
realized what a nice job of balancing
was necessary to keep the structure up
right. 1t was successfully accomplished
however and the court house is now or
it's new site. The dimensions Of the
building were 80 by 80 feet and 81 feet
high. The train made a speed of from
