Tho Way to Provide Your Autumn ward
robe During the Warm Months.
The summer months are often as
sociated with thoughts of relaxation
vacation times, not to say idling.
AS matter OF fact it is the time par
excellence in which the woman of do
mestic taste naturally turns to needle
craft. This may take tho form of
fancy embroidery, the development Of
new ornamental stitches, such as now
figure so largely in the dress-making
domain or the making-up of fancy
underwear, the marking of table
linen, etc. Every branch has its
own quota Of interest and deyotees.
Art embroidery, such as is to be
seen upon the handsome centre
pieces and bed.linen of the present,
includes great deal of raised work,
together with fancy open stitches, the
making of which is one of the most
fascinating employments for the
needle-woman whose tastes run
only to the decorative; but the varied
trimming of gowns of the present
season is Of an equally high order of
workmanship, and the clever needle
woman during the summer may, if
she will, provide her autumn ward.
robe with any number of beautiful
accessories, such as handsome en-
broidered scarfs, ruflles, or yokes,
which continue to be plentifully used.
Where the needle-woik laid out for
the summer is to consist of the dec
Grafton of dresses, the intending
worker should prepare herself by Il
little knowledge of the cutting and
fitting of u garment she contemplates
ornamenting. Nothing takes" en-.
broidery with handsomer results than
crepe de chine, yet scarcely any ma
terial is more difficult to handle.
Generally speaking, the best effects
can be secured by purchasing or en-
broiderIng separate figures and APP
plying them TO the crepe with regular
applique stitch. Where this is
done the garment may be made com
plete Before adjusting the trimming.
Where the embroidery is to be done
while the crepe is still in the piece
this latter should be basted to firm
sheet of paper and the design en-
broidered through both crepe and
paper. When the chosen garniture
is complete the paper may be cut
away and carefully picked out so as to
leave no inartistjc stiffness.
Ribbon embroidery is reappearing
on handsome gauze gowns. This is a
style of decoration which may be
accomplished very rapidly. 1t con-
sists in forming petals of gauze, thin
tafleta, or unstiifened gros grain rib
bon, and working centre pistils in seed
stitches that secure the imitation
petals in position, while leaving the
outer edges comparatively loose. A
handsome dinner gown of mousseline
de sole, which is designed for elaborate
summer functions, shows this style of
embroidery in fine effect. Large prim-
roses of silk gauze form the figure of
the motive, the petals being slightly
raised by means of an interlining of
cotton. Elaborate trimmings of this
kind, however, are worthy only of
materials which make a great display
A simpler trimming and one that
gives an "air" to simple silk waists or
skirts, consists OF lines of herring
bone stitches, from beneath which
the material is cut away. -Harper's s
Bazaar.

The front tresses are to be worn in a

rue LIVING VISION oE 1AE GARDENS.

And have you left me like dream that fading
Leaves sweet, uncertain memories behind?
And are the dusk wings OF the Twilight shading
Your sad, sweet eyes-your lips with kisses kind?
on then, to Twilight be my souls upbIadlng,
since meath her wings rosy rest find;
And o the Night, whose darkness bans and bars
All a the answerless and icy starsl
put now you stood with dewy, lifted ashes
And saw the soul In Loves ungarded eyes;
mt now tumultuous us n torrent dashes,
I saw the red blood to the dimples rsel
For Thought was Love- and as the lightning flashes
And swift -iumes the darkness of the Skies
90 flashed Loves thought-beyond the heart control
Fair face to face, and unveiled soul to soul.
Tonight the light frcm your dear windows streaming
y Makes ali the gardens beautiful tonight
Soft eyes with love beneath your glance beHmng
And lips are fain to kiss your hand so white.
Bn who without In darkness there, Is dreaming
Cast like q lost soul from the Gates OF Light?
The red thorns know him. for their spears are prest
over the wild heart In his wounded breast
The red thorns know him-orow and breast enthraing
And yet the rose-leaves all their anger veil
Isno heart with quIckencd beat recalling
The crimson legend OF the Nightlngale2
For song tells how, when Twilight shades falling
It hymned Loves tender oft-repeated tale,
Where bloomed one Wild and wondrous apart,
Singing while sank the thorn-spears in its heartl
Par grace to you, o lady, OF the lashss
That vainy veil the utterance OF your eyes
The'thorn lives reddening DER the roses ashes,
And song Is sweeter when It's set to signs.
The bright light hther from your window flashes:
Mute is the music and the laughter dies
Life IL not all In laughter and In light,
Fer wearness must weep and wish Goodnight.
And so, goodnight Yours these gardens cleaning
Beneath the mystery of sun and dew.
Sweet be your dreams But In my lonely dreaming
Comes ever only the dear thought OF youl
Soon will the sunlight Ger the gray walls streaming
The promise OF the rosy morn renew,
When shall see your face-no morn so bright
drift to dreams OF you. Goodnight Goodnight

nonndaries of Now York state.

New York's boundaries, though ap-
parently settled in 1776, have been
subject to critical examination from
time to time by various Commissioners
and agents and have been re-examined
and established under authority OF
various legislative enactments. An
act was passed by the Legislature,
May 26, 1875, directing the Commits
sioners to resume the work of eX-
animation Of the true location of the
monuments which mark the several
boundaries of this State, as author
lied by the Senate resolution of 1867,
and in connection with the authori-
ties of Pennsylvania and Now Jersey,
respectively, to replace any monu-
ments which may have become dilapi-
dated or been removed, on the bound
airy lines of those States. A COM
mittee was appointed for this purpose
June 1, 1875. In 1880 the New York
Commissioners met Commissioners
appointed by the States OF Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey for the pur-
pose cf ascertaining the boundary
lines as originally established and
marked with monuments. The Com
missioners were authorized 20 renew
any dilapidated CT lost monuments
and to erect additional. ones if deemed
necessary. Under the provisions OF
this law the New Jersey boundary
line was completed as recently as 1888
and the Pennsylvania line in 1885.

The lung differs from all othel
structures in having two separate cir
culations, the nutritive, supplied by
the left side of the heart through the
bronchial arteries; and the functional,
supplied by the right side of the heart
through the pulmonary artery. This
double circulation underlies all the
phenomena of pneumonia, and must
be recognized in any definition of the

Gauzy Trimmings For Limp Hats.

Gauzy flowers and gauzy ribbons
and gauzy rosettes or pompons are the
natural trimming for one of the new
hats of limp horsehair, ''yeGda" braid
or soft silky straw. These have no
appreciable weight and are relief in
hot weather, which makes a heavy hat
a species of torture. Double-faced
satin ribbon, bows and fans of velvet,
jetted wings and crowns, to say moth
ing of birds plumages, make hat or
bonnet incredibly heavy to press upon
the brow on warm day.

The reign of the woman who is at
all stout is entirely past. Just now,
to be really correct, we must be very
straight and thin and tall. Indeed,
oar bodices are being sent home to us
so incasedin whalebone that it feels
like getting chain armor to put on a
new frock. But, as we have to be
straight and slim to be correct, we
have, of course. to take steps to be-
come so at whatever cost of personal
discomfort.

What life in other worlds may be is
an ever fascinating theme for specula-
tion. Two English biologists, Geof-
frey Martin and DIR. F. J. Allen, have
been considering the matter, and
agree in the conclusion that vital pro-
cesses depend on the existence of an
element whose compounds are in q
condition of critical equilibrium at life
temperatures. Mr.. Martin, however,
looks upon carbon as the fundamental
life element, while DR.. Allen finds
nitrogen the essential substance. Mr..
Martin thinks that in the high tenn
peratures of some celestial bodies q
series of complex and Unstable silicon
compounds may be formed and that in
warmer worlds than ours silicon life
may be possible. Possibly our silicon
secreting diatoms and sponges are a
link connecting us with silicon fauna
of a hotter age on earth.

The early history of appendicitis
cannot be traced, but DIR. George NJ.
Edebohle believes the first reference
to it to have been in 1912. The first
recorded operation on the appendix
was performed August oath, 1888. The
first successful removal of the appen.
dix was carried out on May Sth, 1886,
and since that time the percentage OF
successful operations has been slowly
increasing. The obstructing bodies
found include a great variety of arti.
cles, pins being very common. About
four per cent. of all women are said to
have appendicitis, the male victims
being fewer.

Sir James Sawyer, NJ. D., writes in
the Lancet that he has studied cancer
for third Of century, and has come
to the conclusion that one OF the pre-
disposing factors is the excessive CON
sumption Of meat. He thinks s'it is
among the men of the masses in Eng
land and Wales, that the progressive
increase in cancer in the period under
consideration is mainly to be found.

The twentieth century will have
about $50 eclipses, according TO Mr..
Il. L. Yannery, the solar being to the
lunar in about the ratio of four to
three. For the first time in any cal
endar year since 1928, the year 1885
will have seven sclipses, the largest
possible number. The total solar
ecipses visible in tho United States
will occur in 1918, 1928, 1925, 1915,
1854, 1879, 1884 and 1894. There
will be twelve transits of Mercury,
the frat in 1907, but the more impor,
tant transit of Venus will not occur,
its next date being June s, 2004.

Early Days of Free Masonry.

Outside of England and her colonies
the development of Masonry was by
no means rapid, but the church early
took the alarm, and in 1898 Clement
XII. condemned it in his bull In emf
nenh. No reason for this was alleged
except its secrecy and that under its
rules men OF all religions associate to-
gether, giving rise to suspicious evil,
wherefore all members incur excom-
munication removable only by the
Pope, and all bishops are instructed to
prosecute and punish them as vehem-
emily suspect of hersy. AS the Parle-
ment of Paris refused to register this
bull, it could scarce accomplish much
outside of the Papal States, except in
Spain, but within them it was render
ed effective by an edict of the Card
lnal Secretary of State, January IA,
1889, rronouncing irremiss:ble pain OF
death, not only on all members but
on all who tempt Others to join or
favor the society in any way, such as
leasing house for its use. This was
declaration of war to the knife. al
though the only victim of the death
penalty is said to have been the
French author of book on Masonry.

Silk For Fishing Lines.

The production OF what is known as
silk-worm gut for fishing lines is a
curious industry that has followed the
decline of silk culture in the vicinity
OF Murcia, Spain. The grub is fed on
the usual mulberry leaves, but before
it begins to spin is drowned in vinegar
and the substance that would have
formed the cocoon is drawn from the
body as thick silken thread. The
threads are treated with chemicals,
dried, put up in bundles of 200 and
sold along the Mediterranean.
