WOMEN'S FOIBLES.


The dron caprice of having something
stand high in the hair prevails universally.
1t is usually crinkled bunch OF wired rib
bon spangled with tinsel, jet steel or dla-
monds. An aigrette in pompon of marabou
plumage is edging its way back 10 reeogni-
ton, and nothing has ever been moro attrac-
tive, especially with o small iridsscent butter
fly or South American beetle settled in the
heart Of the plumage.
In gray hair shell combs are much in favor.
The rich hues Of the she'll emphasize the
gray or white OF tho tresses. Combs may
have gold or jewelled decorations upon them,
but shell is, if of fine quality and well polished,
beautiful enough To keep it polished re-
qures only touch of fine oil upon it and
few rubs with the palm of the hand.
Straps Of the dress material and buttons to
please the fancy first used to keep the plaeket
of close-1tting skirts closed now appear in
graded sizes as decorations upon many places
upon the skirt They are used at the tops,
across inserted narrow cores and at the upper
parts Of an inserted fulness, and also down
the entire left side scam of many new skirts.
These are open little way and make
placset needless. From The De'ioeator.

MODES AND FABRICS.

Two new petticost designs have been intro
duced and are fashioned without much full
ness at the top to accommodate them to the
new fashionable clinging skirts One suitable
for silk is fitted smoothly about the waist
and heightened by q circular hounce, which
is given an elaborate finish by narrow ribbon
trimmed ruffles arranged in serpentine effect.
A pretty pattern for a lawn skirt is in five-
gored style, heightened by narrow ruffis
and with deep gathered founce set on.
This Houncs is trimmed with bands Of inser.
ton and deep lace frill.
Among the new dress sleeves an attractive
novelty is shown in which tho sleeve 10
closely fitted at tho top by dart-tucks that
remove all the fulness
For combination Of materials nothing will
prove more effective than new Tudor sleeve,
which is cut of at the top and deeply no.ched
to show full gathered cap,-From Ths

Insects Faster Than Birds.


A common house fly is not very rapid
In It's fight, but its wings make 800
beats a second and send 1t through the
air twenty Ave feet under ordinary
circumstances, in that space Of time
When the insect is alarmed, how
ever, 1t has been found that 1t increas-
es It's rate of speed to over $50 feet per
second. II It could continue such
rapid flight for a mile IN straight line
it would cover that distance in about
So seconds.
1t is not an uncommon thing when
travelling by rail in the summer time
to see q bee or wasp keeping up with
the train and trying to get In at one
of the windows. A swallow Is con-
sidered one of the swiftest flying birds
and 1t was thought until a short time
ago that no insect could escape 1t.
A naturalist tells Of an exciting
chase he saw between a swallow and a
dragon fly, which Is among the swift
est Of insects.
The insect few with incredible speed
and wheeled and lodged with such ease
that the swallow, despite its utmost
efforts, completely failed to overtake
and capture 1t.

THE WoMEN's CONVENTION.
One Elderly Gentleman Thought He Knew

One Elderly Gentleman Thought He Know
Their Reasons for Holding 1t.
The women Of the strong minds
were about to hold a convention. and
as a preliminary thereto a committee
was moving around among the down.
town business men collecting funds
to assist in the ceremonies. The COM
mittee had been to lot Of places and
had met with very fair success, not
withstanding there WASN'T good
looking woman in the entire combin-
alton, which shows how much men
think Of woman for herself alone than
for her beauty, which is so evanish-
ing.
However, at one place It was differ
ent, and the women were treated in
manner to make them feel as If they
would almost rather not I've men at all
than to be the kind of men this par
ticular man was.
1t happened in the Office of an ell
derly gentleman, who has no patience
whatever with the man-lady kind of
woman, and he was sitting in his
private Office when the delegation ar
rived in the outer room. One of the
members very briefly stated the OBJ
ject of their visit to the clerk at the
desk.
"And may l inquire" said the clerk
politely, for he was a kindly man
and wouldn't do anything in the
world to hurt anybody's feelings,
'why are you going to hold 4 conven-
tion?'
Just as like as not the man had a
wife at home and he wanted to tell
her about it, but before the commit
tee had an opportunity to reply the
elderly gentleman's rasping voice was
heard rising high over the partition
separating the two offices.
"I'Il tell you Why" came the words,
"it's because they haven't got any
babies TO hold. Tell 'em so, with my
compliments, and say tnat we give
nothing to the cause of perverted pet
ticoatism."

BUILD BALCONIES
A Good Suggestion t. Owners Of Apart.
msnt Houses.

A Good Suggestion t. Ownsrs Of Apart.
mont Houses.
Why are not all apartment houses
furnished with balconies? A man that
owns or rents house can sit on the
doorstep and enjoy the cool Of the
evening; but what boon a balcony
would be to those that are now stified
in flats.
The poets are with you. When Tom
Clinch rode stately through London
streets to be hanged,
The maids to the doors and balconies
ran,
And said, Lack-a-day! he's proper
young man.
The loving wife of Mr.. John Gilpin
spied him from a balcony. Byron
compared Venetian danes leaning
over the balcony" to Venuses OF Titan.
There are instances galore. 0 balco-
MES. guitars, serenades, the fall Of a
handkerchief or rose, stock incidents
Of operetta! And it Is indeed Joy to
smoke peacefully thus suspended In
air after sundown, dropping matches
or tobacco ash on those passing under.
Then the close presence OF the adored
one in the dusk; with murmurous
conversation, with the sense OF isola-
ton!
But there are coarse, prosaic men In
petty authority who look askew at bal
comics save for purposes OF revenue.
Thus at Munster in Westphalia the
town council has decided to put tax
on balconies-$50 for those which pro-
ject beyond the walls, and $3.50 for
those that are less ambitious. THE
Council has decided that the balcony
is frivolous, lends itself to idle gazing,
q spirit Of criticism, and tendency to
impractical Irritation" This sounds
as though 1t came from the Connecti-
cut of earlier years. But our friend
the Classical Scholars assures us that
the owner OF the first balcony built In
ancient Rome taxed personally his ten
ants "Maenius," Roman citizen, let
his house to the censors, Cato and
F1accus. He then built out balcony
and came into personal residence there.
In order to keep an eye on them"

Longevity of Musicians.

A writer In French newspaper the
other day made an interesting an
nouncement respecting the longevity Of
musicians. Those who died between
sixty and seventy years Of age include
Bach, Berlioz, Brahms, Bulow and Ru-
binstein. Living beyond seventy years
came Gluck, Gounod, Handel, Haydn,
Liszt, Meyerbeer, Rossini. Spontini and
Wagner; whilst the great age of
eighty-nine was attained by Auber,
and others dying at past eighty were
Cherubini, Cramer, Lachner, Pales-
trina, Rameau, Schultz and Taubert.
The average age of musical celebrities
is about siyty-seven years.

BorrLE WITH SAFETY STOPPER.

BOTTLE WITH SAFETI sIofrEH
The latest dovice Is bottle from
which poison is not likely to be taken
by mistake. The anchor safety stopper,
which is now in use in many hospitals,
has been contrived, which the accom-
panying illustration represents the
anchor inside the bottle Is OF heavy
glass and is attached to the cork by
an asbestos cord which neither affects
nor is affected by acids or chemicals
used in medicine. When the cork IS
withdrawn the anchor catches, and an
other warning is given by the rattle
of the anchor striking the neck of the
bottle. The contents of the bottle may
be easily poured or dropped out by
holding the cork at the side with the
finger, as the anchor does not impede
the flow.

rinsed out and replenished with full

called at a wayside inn for refresh
ments. On resuming their seats one Of
the party exclaimed:
"Why, the foot-warmers are quite
hot!"
Then the boots Of the inn stepped
forward and said, with friendly grin:

emptied them and filled them again
