Sleeve Links of Crocheted Silk.

A "cuffbutton" suggests a firm, hard
knob of metal; pair of sleeve links
suggests semi-precious stones or gold
disks linked together by golden
chain. The newest fastening for the
cuffs of a shirt waist of fine flannel or
cashmere has the top, which is all that
is visible, made of crocheted, heavy,
twisted silken cord. The same thing
does for sleeve links, but the single
button is the better design.

They do not turn over the new re-
vers, nor are they worn fatty laid out
on the chest, as formerly. In the pres
ent case, the ''revers" are ornamental,
but only show when the jacket fronts
are not closed. They are simply the
long strip Of facing TO the jacket
fronts and could not possibly be visible
if the garment were worn closed. This
is a true "L'Aiglon" fashion and one
which is extremely dressy.

1t Is Not Tight.

Those who try on the new garments
declare that the L'Aiglon collar is not
so tight as to prove choking. 1t is
high, but broad, and welcome change
from the strangling stock collars which
have garroted us last summer. These
last entirely earned the name of "cho-
ker," which was sometimes applied to
them by the shop girls who sold them
to customers.

Nervous people may sleep much
without knowing it, according to the
experience of Dr. A. Erlenmeyer.
Even in health one may fall into a
considerable slumber and afterward
have the impression that there has
been no sleep, as when railway pas
senger is awakened by the stopping
of his train and has no recollection of
other stations passed or of having
lost consciousness. This lack of per-
ception of sleep is most common in
nervous disease. Patients complain of
wakefulness after having actually
slept all night and this makes neces-
sary caution against hypnotic or Sc
dative medicines, which should only
be used after watching the individuals
condition.

There are three theories as to the
origin of petroleum, that it is of ami
NAL, vegetable and mineral origin, the
what they consider proofs. Opponents
of the animal organ theory have
claimed that, if so, nitrogen COM
pounds would be found therein; and
now that asphalt from near the Red
set has yielded . per cent nitrogen,
advocates of the animal origin theory
feel more positive than ever. Mean
while those who may uphold the COM
bined vegetable and mineral origin of
the oil may be considered nearest the
truth.

The scent of the onion is found to
be due to the presence of sulphur The
sulphur gives the onion its germ-kill-
ing property and makes it a useful
medicinal agent, especially in the
spring. The onions sulphur forms a
sulphuret or sulphide of allyli or oil
of garlic, stimulating property also
found in the horseradish and mustard.
A different arrangement of the atoms
of their volatile oils causes the diver
sity Of taste in the onion, horseradish
and mustard.

1t is proposed to utilize the great
pet beds of Germany for the produc-
ton of electricity on large scale. A
single deposit covers an area of 1000
square miles and it furnishes the equi-
valent of 300,000,000 tons of coal, or
more than the total production of Ger
many for three years. The electricity
will be used partly in the production
of carbide, for acetylene.

review or the parade The weapons
are curious looking, but wicked in the
extreme-the three-hooked spears they
all carry in particular make Jagged
and CHASTITY wounds. Besides the TO-
900 within the wall, Pekin maintains
force of $4,000 with which to regu-
late affairs in the outer city. They are
under command Of the same general
officer and governed by the same regu-
lations, though there are variations
arising from the difference of situa-
ton. Men and officers alike furnish
their own uniforms, but are armed by
the state. and receive monthly rice
allowance in addition to their pay.
The chief gets a fair salary, but the
men and subordinate officers are
meagerly paid. Notwithstanding they
make and save money enough to re-
tire after moderate terms of service.

stands the prisoners friend in China
even more than anywhere else in the

FINDS SWEETHEART.
WAS ONE or THE VISITING
CUBAN TEACHERS.


Theodore Dilks. Of Camden, N. j..
was q Yankee soldier in the late war
with Spain. Being q venturesome
young fellow. he was quite delighted
when he was sent out with 4 scouting
party near Mantanzas.
Hours after he was found wounded
BY men in his own company and was
carried into the dwelling house on
the. ruined plantation Of Senior Mou-
chez.
For weeks he lay there with other
wounded soldiers. The pretty daugh-
ter OF Mouchez volunteered to help IN
nursing the blue-eyed Camden soldier,
who suffered for no want of attention.
One day. when Dilks had about re-
covered and was nearly ready to rejoin
his regiment. the senorita told the
story Of their love to her father.
The old senior was furious. No
daughter Of his should marry out of
her race and out of her country. Dilks
went to the father and pleaded, but
the senior was unrelenting.
There were many changes after that.
Dilks returned to his aome. The Sc
norita. her father having lost his for
tune. became school teacher. She
was one Of the Cuban teachers who
came to this country some weeks ago
to study American customs and edu-
cational methods.

Folks Made Thin.

Neodesha is small town in Wilson
county, Kan, in the center of natural
gas belt. For some inexplicable rea-
son it seems to have a greater pro-
portion of spare-bu citizens than any
town Of its size in the entire western
country, and it is likely, that the town
will become a popular resort for fat
folks who may wish to have their cor
pulency reduced. The general health
of the Inhabitants of Neodesha is ex-
cellent, and there is nothing in the
surroundings of the place to indicate
an unusual condition of things or to
prevent the accumulation of tissue. But
the fact remains that stout persons
who reside there do grow thin, and
thin people. do grow thinner.

He had Just turned to 90 away, whom
he heard girlish cry Of surprise and
somebody caught his arm. He wheeled
about and could scarcely believe his
eyes vixen he found he was face to

norita vilera Mouchez. whom he had
supposed was lost to him forever.

said, as she looked up into his face.

married. and they look for no further
parental objection.

That is the sacred or royal hue. per-

In the treaty ports, that is to say,
those open to foreign influence and
commerce, the police force is largely
made up of Sikhs from northern In

Chinese themselves are essentially I'M

The police rank officially as gendar-
merle. in Pekin the head of them is
always Manchu. Policemen must be
plentier than blackberries in the Chi
nese capital. The sacred or imperial
walled city keeps between $4,000 and
10000 of them. This walled city is
two miles square, with two great
gates in each Wallace, half a mile
from the corners, and mile from each
other. Broad streets stretch straight
from one to another, thus cutting the
space inside into a big nine-block.
Police stations are scattered all along
the nine squares, especially around
their outer edges, which face upon the
passway inside the wall. The head
of the police has charge of all the
city gates. They are nine in number
since the side next the palace
proper has an extra gate, in the exact
middle of the two-mile wall. Police

Corps. They do not carry arms, not
even SO much as the baton of civil

guns and cutlasses in racks at the sta
lions, and make a rush for them when
they hear the signal gun. This is
fired by an officer whose special charge
it is, either upon orders or if in. his
own judgment it is necessary. The
penalty for firing it at the wrong
time is severe-it may be degradation
and Punishment or strangulation.
