bands of the gilt braid stitched upon

braid and INTERVENING it with a gran
lite grey tinsel braid and tomato red
tinsel. These are sometimes twisted
into a tiny cording; again the separate
rows of this braid are stitched to the

Uses of Gold Trimming.
The fronts of fur coats and coats of
velvet are frequently buckled by means
of these bands OF gilt braid which
come in widths. Wide straps of the
braid are brought to the front of the
waist and caught under the tiniest
buckles Of silver and of steel. The
buckles are patterned in fifteenth, six
teenth and seventeenth century design.
Next to fur velvet will be worn. A
beautiful automobile coat of black vel
vet was recently made for one of Goth
ANS 400; of course it is to be sent over,
or carried by its fortunate owner. 1t
is of black velvet antique. The lining
is of rose satin. Bordering the front
of the coat is an edging OF Sable, and
at the throat there are many little tails.
But the extravaganza of the coat comes
in a border of sable fully two feet wide
which is placed around the foot of the
skirt of the coat, reaching almost TO
the hips. At frequent intervals there
are placed punches of little tails, rest
ing upon cushion of lace. The sleeves
are decorated in the same way.
Combing the Hair.
If you would be in fashion this win
ter, you must part your hair on the
side.
Mrs. James Brown Potter introduced
the side part and it has now become
popular among society people.
The hair Is waved, not in small,
crinkly waves, but in large, billowy,
soft nipples, then it is parted on the
right side and the waved hair is
brought either low over the forehead or
high as the wearer desires.

DAINTY TASKS FOR THE
DIVERSION OF INvALIDS

There are Many Pleasant Duties
Which May he Planned for the En-
jOynent of Those in the Sick Room.
When one first starts to think of the
diversions which can be planned and
suited to the sick-room there seem to
be very few indeed. Embroidery and
crochet work are among the first that
suggest themselves to the average
mind, and these are trying to women,
even when they are in good health
The invalid whose nerves are shattered
and whose eyese become weary at the
slightest effort, finds that work with
the needle is almost more than she can
bear. Limit the embroidery to mere
outlining, and very little of that, and
the croeheting to children's horse reins
and coarse Turkish washcloths.
A table which fits over the bed or
swings in front of chair is the best
requisite for the invalid, when she con-
templates employment These tables
can De purchased at almost any fur-
niture store and are great comfort.
When it has been adjusted for work
cover jit with piece of firm red felt.
One of the prettiest and most inter-
esting employments for invalids Ia the
making of fancy boxes and pictures
frames, panels, etc, out of bright pieces
of wall paper. Send to dealer in wall
papers and ask him to give or send a
sample book. These sample books con-
tain just enough of one pattern to
make something from it, and the pat-
terms are usually very choice and
dainty.
To make the boxes, first obtain plain
pasteboard boxes of the required size.

PARIS, France, Oct. 18-It is time

you cannot accomplish in any other

The eccentric is more the style in

fur coats with lapels of green velvet.
The fur sleeves are cut off at the elbow

mining TO be located in each state when

resolutions, as drawn up by Mr.. Max Rob

they use their influence in having the

that with the proper influence the city in

it be located here, all the mineral and

parts of the State to be assayed by the

Not Satisfactory.

1t is understood that the large new
steel cars recently put into use on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad are not the
success they We're expected to be. The
railroad men contend that they are always
uneasy with a number of them in a train,
either loaded or empty especially where
the train has to climb many steep grades
and helper is used. What they fear
most seems to be that the center Sills are
not sufficiently strong to stand the inn
mense pressure on them in helping them
up grade similar to the seventeen mile
grade. The men also claim that the cars
are hard to get over when empty. OF
course, with the air brake, it is not neces-
sary to go over the train as in former
days, but it is still at times absolutely
necessary to go partly over the train, and
the steel cars are hard 10 climb over
The railroad men state that the railroad
companies are aware of these defects, and
have cancelled all orders for the larger
cars and are now having made fiat bot
tom steel car, built on the order of the
gondola, with drop bottom for unloading
A number of these cars are now in use
They are somewhat wider than the high
cars, extending out on both sides even
more than the large wooden ones.

Saturday Norris had been selling little

had made use of the money by INDUCING

on crutches on the icy sidewalks rather

his body suddenly assumed a position

afterwards turning him over to the police,

Theory of Hunger.

We all know when we are hungry.
but we do not know why we are hun
cry? The unscientific person will re
ply that we are hungry because we
need food, and this is certainly true.
Professor Appenheimer, of Heidel
berg, agrees with this, but he agrees
that there is much more to be said on
the subject.
According to the professor, the SEN
sation of hunger is felt by the human
being whenever the food supply that
nourishes the stomach is deficient I'm
uuality. On the other hand, the long
ing for food disappears whenever the
stomach is filed, for at that time,
through the process of digestion, the
necessary supply of blood is furnished
for the nourishment of the stomach.
This rule does not hold good in the
case of many invalids, as, for example,
those suffering from chlorosis, since
various tests show that they do not
feel hunger even when there is no
food in their stomachs.
The reason for this, says the profess
sor, is because there is, as rule, too
much blood in the vessels that serve
for purposes of nutrition. Whenever
the stomach is more or less out of or
der in consequence of deficient blood
supply, a certain stimulus acts on the
nerves, which are thus excited until
they cause the well-known sensation
known as hunger.

BIG FIRE THIS MORNING
The Plant of the Southern Biscuit
Works Totally Destroyed.

The Plant of the Southern Biscuit
Works, at the foot OF Fifth Street. on
Canal Bank, was totally destroyed by
fire between and 4 o'clock this morning
1t is impossible to estimate the loss, as
none of the officers of the company could
be seen. The damage will amount to sew
eral thousands of dollars.
Mr. J. s. Brockenbroush is the Dresi-
dent and general manager, Mr.. ]. j. Mon
tague, vice-president, and Mr.. w. II. Hol-

The building belonged to the estate of

structure, formerly known as the Allie

The Biscuit Works were put into opera
ton only a few months ago. Mr.. t. G.
Williams, -Jr,. Mr.. r. s. Bosher, Mr.. j.
J. Montague, and other wealthy capital
lists were interested.
It is not known how the fire originated
The night-watchman was too much
frightened TO give any information All
he could say was that the fire was first
discovered in a certain part of the build
ing.
one portion of the building had been
burning fifteen minutes before an alarm
was turned in. In fact, the tremendous
blaze had attracted the attention of people
for many squares away, and they had
reached the fire before the alarm was
sent in at S:37 o'clock
The firemen worked nobly. and their
efforts saved the adjoining property.
A great crowd was al the fire. which
was still burning, but under control, at
4:3o this morning.
The property is said to have been fully
| insured
About seventy-tfve persons were en-
ployed by the Biscuit Company.
