lures which the Boston journal is max
ing is particularly enticing. Next Sun

McManus, the famous Irish writer,
whose work has attracted so wide at
tention in this country within the past
year. and whose stories appear frequently
in the high-class magazines. A particu-
larly readable series, too, is that of illus
trated articles about some of the most ia

articles that tell interestingly of the
people who are the central figures in the
summer colonies each year. The series
includes, among other places, Dublin, N.

An English clergyman has written
the history of Jack and Jill on a new
and original plan. The first four pages
of the book are numbered l, the next
four 2, and so on up to page 8. The
stories are so arranged that any page
marked 2 can be read after any num-
bered !, making good sense. In the
same way page 3 can be read after
page l or page 2; page will follow
page l. 2 or 3. and so on through the
eight. Application Of the laws of per-
mutation shows that the book thus
contains 65,536 stories of Jack and Jill.

shoulder or the waist.
Many are the styles that are designed
specially for the separate waist
The very latest is the Roberts waist
which may, in time, become as fashion,
able as the Garibaldi was 25 years ago.
The Roberts is a blouse with tackled
front set in like vest. From the arm
seams come two broad pieces which are
tied upon the bust in a big low with long
ends. The waist may be made of pink
lawn, the tucked vest of white sheer

two very long streamers of the thinnest

Woman's wardrobe would be limited to

allowance, if she takes advantage of the
opportunities offered for the separate
waist.
And never were these opportunities as
numerous. There are no less than 20 new
waist materials, all manifestly for the
fashioning of waists alone, and not skirts.
and, besides the fabrics themselves, there
are dozens of trimmings that come for
waists only and are scarcely used at all

SPANISH GUN
 HAS ARRIVED Will be Mounted in One of the
 City Parks. LOAN FROM GOVERNMENT Trophy of the War Taken from the Christobal Colon at Santiago de Cuba Secured by the
 Commercial Club
LOAN FROM GOVERN MEN I

The captured Spanish gun loaned to the city of Birmingham by the United States government arrived here yesterday. and will be placed in some one of the parks in a short time. This gun was secured for Birmingham by Congressman Underwood at the request of the Commercial club.
 At a meeting of the club held early in the year. committee with Sterling A. Wood as chairman, was appointed to take up the question of securing one of the Spanish guns for this city, with the war department. MT. Wood communicated with Representative Underwood and forwarded with his letter the resolution adopted by the club. MT Underwood immediately called on the secretary of war and laid the matter before him. A few weeks later he was advised by the chief of ordnance that one of the guns taken from the Span ish war vessel Christobal Colon was held subject to his orders. This letter was for warded to MT. Wood and at once steps were taken looking to the removal of the gun to this city. The gun comes in the nature of a loan, but the government will never call for its return. By loaning the gun the government avoids the necessity of making an appropriation for its removal and care.
 The gun is of the 57 millimeter class, is S1a feet long, F inches in diameter at the base and inches in diameter at the mug gle.
 Mir. Wood, as chairman of the committee, will report to the Commercial club at the meeting next Friday afternoon the fact that the gun has been secured and is now in Birmingham, and 1t is probable that ar engagements will be made at that time for mounting it in one of the parks of the city. It is understood that Camp Clayton, Sons of Confederate Veterans, will offer the foundation which was laid in Capitol park few years ago for a monument to the confederate dead for the use of the club in mounting the gun.
 The place where the gun is to be mounted has not yet been agreed upon, but Capitol park seems to be the most desirable. Five Points and court house square have also been mentioned in this connection.
