separate wai.t. Goins o.t.

In spite of the fact that all the smart
dressmakers are sending out costumes
this season made with skirt and waist,
and also that the best fashion advance
notes tell us that separate waists are no
longer fashionable, there have never
been SO many different styles of waists
and skirts worn that have absolutely
no reference one to the other. Perhaps
the very number worn is the reason
that the fashion is said to be Oh the
wane. In the meantime, particularly
while hot weather lasts, women are Ger.
tain to make the best of this most con-
venient style of dressing. and conse-
quently the manufacturers of the fancy
shirts have taken advantage of the pres
ent demand. and are turning out guam
titles Of most bewitching and attractive
shirt waists, while the more elaborate
waists of lawn, cambria, ETC., made not
only by machine, but by hand. are, to
use a trade expression. flooding the
market. The plainest kinds of shirts,
made in the cheapest materials, but of
surprisingly good cut. are sold ready
made for less than dollar. There are
other shirt waists - the pattern of
which is much the same, but of course
better cut and fitted-which are sold
for several dollars. 1t is easily seen.
therefore, that there are enough to
choose from.-Harper's Bazar.

HOW TO BOIL MONEY.
Ic In Not Altogether q Profitable Bx-
perlnent, However, and II.
Not Ree0nnenaea.

A well-known chemical expert in Eng
land recently boiled q sixpence and
watched it dissolve and pass away in
the form Of vapor, just AZ anyone might
do with a pot of water. While ne was
doing it he declared that any substance
ON earth might be boiled and made to
become vapor, il only you had heat
great enough to do it, not excepting
granite rock.
In boiling the sixpence it was cut up
into small pieces, which were placed in
the hollow carbon of an electric arc
lamp. Anyone who has examined the
discarded carbons Of an arc lamp will
have noticed that one of the carbons is
always pointed, while the other carbon
has a small cuplike hole in the end.
When the lamp il lighted the carbons
stand one above the other, the sharp
point of one carbon fitting into the
cup" of the other. 1t was in this little
cup that the sixpence was boiled.
Probably it was the smallest pot and
the hottest fire in the world. He placed
the pieces of the coin in the hollow end
Of the one carbon and fixed the other
pointed carbon down against them.
Then he turned on the electric current.
He had arranged his apparatus irs
front of q magic lantern, SO that the
whole thing could be seen on large
white screen. The carbons, the coin,
and in fact everything could be viewed
plainly. OF course, the electric current
passing between the carbons made
them very hot. and the cup soon became
filed with white heat. 1t was wonder
ful to see how quick the silver melted
and simmered, and finally boiled.-Chi-
cago Times-Herald.

FUTURE OF OYSTER FISHING.
SubmaFi Boats Will Soon BE Em-
plOyed In Dredging the
Bfvnlves.

The submarine boat will revolution
ize the oyster industry. When in Chesa-
peake bay cruising the old Argonaut
frequently settled down on oyster beds
and. with the permission of the owners,
procured all the oysters desired by
reaching down through the sea door.
The new Argonaut can employ this
method Of gathering oysters, rising to
the surface when her diving-room is
full, or send out divers, who can place
the oysters collected in baskets or re-
ceptacles, which those ON the surface
can haul up. When bays or rivers are
frozen over and oyster men cannot ply
their trade the Argonaat can go under
the ice. Fishing can also be carried on
easily on the bottom with nets. for the
fish have no fear of the object they evil
IDENTIFY consider whale and swim from
every direction toward the glare of the
electric lights shining through the
ports. Sponge fishing will engage the
attention of the first successful SUBJ
marine voyagers. Good sponges are be-
coming dearer. for the supply in shall
low water is running short. The divers
cannot go deeper than 25 feet and the
best sponges are found in deep water.
To this deep water the Argonaut will
so. and. gathering the finest sponges,
put them on the market at a price no
greater than that paid for the common
varieties. She will also try pearl fish,
ing, now conducted at an enormous ex-
pense of life, for by strange freak of
nature pearl oysters are generally
found in localities where bad weather
prevails and hurricanes and typhoons
are frequent. These the Argonaut, un-
der the water. need not fear. and her
divers. instead of gathering up the oys-
ters by the single handful. can gather
them by the b,lshel.-Lippincott's Mag
azine.

TYPEwRITINc IS PERMANENT.
Question Of the Durability Of Rec

State SupePvision.

The permanency of typewriter rec

Quoted in Boston with view of es-
tablishing the relative value of the lead
ing brands of typewriter ribbons. Rob-
ert T. Swan, the state commissioner
of public records for the state of Mas
sachusetts, is doing some good work
in this direction. He finds that the diff
ferent colors used for typewriter rib

are not permanent, black being the
only one that will stand the tests to
which he subjects the writing.

by the commissioner of public req

Jersey having previously taken similar
action. In other words. no such rec

terials used are up to the standard, and
the commissioner is expressly au-
thorized by the statute referred to to
withdraw his approval ut any time
when he shall find that the articles
used fall below such standard. This is
an important matter, which should be
acted upon in every state. for the IL

it were much better to keep in force tie

1t is possible, we think, to produce
records that are quite as

A GOLDFISH DINNER.
AenethinE That II Hardly KnewD
Outside Of the New Eng.
land States.

There has been a fashionable fad for
old-fashioned colonial cookery, and the
Goldfish dinner" Of New England has
been one of these revivals. Outside of
the New England states this kind of .
dinner il hardly known. Even in New
England the people of the coast be-
lieve that this dinner cannot be prop
erly cooked away from the sound of
the waves by New Englanders 30 un-
fortunate as TO live in the interior.
This dinner consists of salt Goldfish with
egg sauce and served with various
vegetables. Usually potatoes. beets,
carrots, onions and sometimes turnips
are served with this dinner. The cod
fish is the only fish served with this
dinner. A whole cod is selected A
dun fish. Miss Parloa, certainly one Of
our best authorities on New England
cookery, tells us, is always preferred
by New Englanders to the white fish.
The difference in color is produced by
a difference in the process of curing.
The process that gives dun fish pro-
duces a richer as well as darker fish.
The night before this dinner is to be
served scrub and wash carefully the
Goldfish selected, using a brush. Cut
of the fins and tail and soak the fish
with the skin side up in an abundance
Of clear, cold water. Put the beets,
carrots and potatoes to soak, each by
themselves il they are winter vege-
tables; if summer roots are used this
is not necessary.
The next day put the fish, still skin
side up, in clear, cold water in large
pan or fish kettle, and let it slowly come
to the boiling point, but do not let 1t
boil. Set it where It will keep hot.
without actually boiling, for five hours.
The fish at the end of this time will
still be whole, but when touched with
q knife on serving it will break into
tender gelantinous fakes Serve It,
without breaking it, ON huge plat
ter, heated for the purpose. Put about
a quarter of a pound of nice salt pork
into little cubes and fry them slowly
until they are brown and crisp, nd
serve them with the fish. To make the
egg sauce to use with the Goldfish melt
q half-cup of butter, stir in table
spoonful OF -four and add slowly cup
of boiling water. Let it soak over the
fire until it boils- Remove it immedi-
ately. Add two eggs which have been
boiled 20 minutes, cooled and chopped
fine, and half q teaspoonful Of salt and
a half saltspoonful of pepper. The
beets. onions, carrots and other vege-
tables served with this dinner are
boiled. The carrots are served in cream
sauce, as are the onions. The potatoes
are boiled dry and mealy, and the
beets are boiled and seasoned with salt,
pepper and butter. Remnants of the
fish and potatoes left after this meal
are made into fishballs. Sometimes
scraps Of pork are added to the fish,

HAIRLESS AND TAGLEsS
Hat This Mexican DOG Had . HeIpfaI
Friend When He Was Sore
ly In Need.

A few afternoons ago q tall young
woman. very smartly arrayed. and with
an uncommonly large and varied as
sortment of clinking chatelaine articles
attached to an amethyst-incrusted gilt
belt, strolled down uptown Seventeenth
street. closely followed by tiny, shiv-
ering. cringing Chihuahua dog. The
dog was collarless. but wore a belt har-
ness trimmed with cerise ribbon. He
did not permit himself to be left more
than two feet in the rear of his mistress
heels.
At one of the corners there was a
sudden rattle, and Gagged wagon drew
up alongside the curb at the point
where the young woman and her dog
were walking. A big, black dog catch
er sprane from the rear of the Gagged
wagon. and IN trifie lssthan no time
the pampered nstfe MexicaA dog was
whimperingly struggling in the meshes
Of the dog catcher's net. The dog
catcher transferred the whining brute
from the net to the wagon, where lot
of large. coarse. common dogstwere al
ready sullenly established.
The young woman owner of the cap
tured Chihuahua viewed the proceed
ings with all the GOODNESS in>hfe. She
adjusted her eyeglasses carefully and
looked the dog catcher over from head
to foot. Then she examined the plebeian
dogs in the wagon. The dog catcher
didn't know what to make of her con-
duct. He expected her to become hys-
terical and to frantically demand the
return of her pet. But there didn't ap-
pear to be any hysteric in her. She
walked up to the dog catcher.
"What do you think you are going to
do with that dog of mine?' she in
quired of him in the most matter-of-
fact tone imaginable.
"Ah's dun swiped him, miss, 'codin'
tub law" replied the dog catcher.
''What for?" asked the young woman.
"'Cause dey amt no license on him."
replied the dog catcher.
SIS that so?" said the tall young
woman. quietly. "Well, you can just
pass that pup back to me. He has been
licensed"
'.Ah'd laik tub TEX yo' wu'd fo' dat,
missy, but an doan' see no tag, an it's
de law dat"
''You can look at it now" replied the
captured pups mistress, unsnapping
one of the clinking articles from her
chatelaine belt. 'It was among the
first of the years issue, as you'll see by
the number. / wear it myself because
the chilly metal gives Diaz a cold in
the chest"
The dog catcher looked at the tag.
grinned sheepishly and reached in and
handed out the moaning Chihuahua to
its mistress.
"Dey'll be uh-wearin' de tags TO- ear
rims nex'." said the dog catcher to the
driver of the wagon. as the young wom-
an and the rat-like pup disappeared
around the corner.-Washington Post.

THE HARE IN MEDICINE
the Ancients for Various
Ailments.

The following curious information is
given in reply to correspondent who
desired to learn when .'hare's BLOOD
was last used as therapeutic agent,
for what purpose and in what manner.
The hare has been employed in folk
medicine at least from the time of
Pliny. The use of the blood was con-
tinucd in England until the end of the
seventeenth century. but it is of course
impossible to say when the practice
ceased, even if it has done SO at the
present time. 1t was believed that the
blood anointed cured freckles, and that
the ashes of the blood cured the bloody
flux. All parts of the animal were used; !;
the whole hare burned to ashes was ex-
cellent against the stone if given in
doses of 50 to GO grains. Outwardly the
ashes were used to take away excres-
cences and to cleanse, dry and heal
foul ulcers, while mixed with tar they
cured alopecia. The brain was an an
tidote against poison and cured trem-
bling. The broth was good against
gout and pains of the joint. The fat
was SO attractive that it could draw
thorns and other foreign bodies out of
the flesh.
The heart powdered and drunk "a
third of whole one at a time) in
Rhenish wine cured epilepsy and quar-
tan ague in week, though if the dis
ease were stubborn its use was to be
continued for SO days together. The
liver given with earth of Samos was
good for haemoptysis, while the gall
cured blindness and deafness. Martial
tells in a neat and playful epigram the
virtues which the Romans attached to
eating the fiesh-that the eater became
fair of face. The latter physicians held.
however, that hare was a black meat
and hard of digestion-indeed, that it
engendered more melancholy than any
other meat; often eaten, it bred incu
bus Tor nightmare) and caused fearful
dreams. They decrced, therefore, that
it ought not to be used as an article of
diet, but only as medicine. No lover
of Pepys forgets that the hare's foot
was sovran against collie II It be carried
