The bandanna ties worn few
months ago are supplanted by the
softer and lighter tones of the Persian
patterns.
New spotted silk muslins in all
black aud mixed with accordion
plated black chiffon form lovely
mourning evening gowns.
Evening gowns may certainly be
elaborate, with that curiously simple
elaboration which necessitates the
best taste with an almost unlimited
expenditure.
Suede gloves are very much worn,
as they always are in summer. for the
reason that they are much cooler than
the glace glove. Pastel tints are the
popular shades.
One feature of French undercloth es
is that they are never made with
yokes. They are fitted with darts,
and where fulness is necessary it is
gathered in with ribbon or tape.
Stitchings and tuckings form an i'm

plated mousselines and chiffons are
again to the fore. When worn with

swathed band or broad ribbon twisted
deftly round the waist.
Colored lawn petticoats have not
usurped the place occupied by silk
skirts, but they are very welcome
feature in this department of dress as
they are much cooler than silk. They
are worn with cotton gowns chiefly
and ought to match the gown in color.
Some of them are elaborately trimmed
with lace.
Since the tailor gown has become
an accepted feature of the feminine
wardrobe, the vest is an important
item for fashionable consideration.
This year especially open.fronted
coats will be very fashionable, and
women who desire to vary their coat
costumes are ordering two or three
sleeveless waistcoats.
Toques are the prevailing style Of
hat, perhaps, but there are hats with
futed brims, hats with bell crowns
and hats with almost no crowns at
all. Polka dots OF straw on black
malines formed into toque are very
effective. Straw applied to net and
lace applique on straw are especially
pretty features of the new millinery.
Nearly every gown has narrow
belt made of stitched satin or taffeta
drawn and fastened invisibly in front
in the effort to secure the Partisan
girdle effect, which makes the back
appear short aud the line over the

Of freshness for an unusual period.
The skilful needle-woman usually can
manufacture these garnitures after re-

lar models of the present season are
as various as the materials in which
they may be made. They include
the plain high stock, the high pointed

at the back. The foundation collar
is of white taffeta. Over this is
draped smoothly thin cream-colored
batiste, outlined with narrow lace
motifs in which baby-ribbon plays a
part. Honiton figure designs would
prove the best mediums for the
needle woman who desired to repro
duce this design at home. The stock
fastens invisibly in the centre of the

placed a soft full bow composed of
tvo loops and a centre knot. The
long ends that remain are loosely
knotted at a point five and one-half
inches below the neck band. Beyond
this knot the pointed embroidered
ends hang loose. The mid-length

Fish Electroc utiOn.

A Russian inventor has patented a
method of fishing which is based on
the electrocution OF the nibbling fish
by a powerful current. One side OF
the secondary of an induction coil is
connected by means of an insulated
wire twisted around the fishiug line,
to the baited hook, and the other side
is immersed in the water. 1t is
claimed that on closing the switch au
electric current passes through the
insulated conductor, the fsh-hook,
the body of the fish which may have
seized the hook, and the water, of
sufficient power to shock the fish into
insensibility or to kill it as the case
may be.

Norsltle. In shlrt Waists.

The white shirt waist is undeniably
the favorite this season, and the very
soft, fine lawns and muslins are in
greater demand than linens and
piques. Low-necked and sleeveless
silk slips are worn under some of
these, leaving the arms and neck OF
the muslin shirt transparent. When
a colored silk slip is worn under these
waists, yokes and sleeves of lace are
very pretty and effective. A tucked
yoke inserted, with stripes of en-
broidery, run with ribbon is o pretty
fancy, and black ribbon looks particu-

which are connected by entre-deux of

Lost Art of Being Funny.

A hard tone pervades most OF the
Jokes OF the day. Periodicals that
are supposed to be published for
laughing purposes only are given over
to hippant remarks about divorce,
henpecked husbands, mannish wom-
en-, aud cooling lovers. In place OF
the old-time stories that illustrated
odd phases of American character,
the humor of the day seems to re-
volve about three or four subjects
that were sacred in the first place,
and that now have been worn thread
bare. No real humorists have arisen
to counterbalance this downward
drift. If any young writer shows
promise as a humorist he succumbs to
the glamour of the epigram and be-
comes cynical, or proves that he is
merely a specialist" and can do no
more than hammer away on one note.
TO be genuine, humor must be
broad and kindly, 1t must acknowl'
edge no literary rules and must not
know the meaning of flippancy. AS
matters stand now, Mark Twain is the
last of the real American humorists.

Mineral wealth of siberia.

Hardly any mineral can be named
that is not obtainable somewhere in
Siberia in abundant amounts. The
mountains surrounding the Kinghisian
plains are known to contain not only
gold, but also copper, silver and lead
ore. The Altai Mountains, covering
an area ten times as large as Switzer-
land, abound in copper ore, silver
and lead ore, gold andprecious stones.
In the Kusnezki Valley are beds of
coal so vast as to suggest comparison
with the Pennsylvania fields. The
richest aud most extensive gold de-
posits occur in Eastern Siberia, and
large petroleum deposits have recently
been discovered on the Island OF Sag
halin.

must echo with the tread of genera

Her English house breathes the
spirit of the present. 1t stands upon
the brow of an eminence, and the
grounds gradually slope down to a
broad valley, which is girdled by hills.
