PRETTY BODICE NOVELTY.
Smart Women Are Now Decorating
Their Fancy Shirt Waists with
Double Zephyr Catstitching.

There is new note in the bodices
of fashionable gowns these days, and
although one that would have seemed
homogeneous to our grandmothers, it
is extremely pretty, says the Bostoa
Globe.
1t is double zephyr worsted, used to
lattice work and embroider certain
parts of fancy shirts, instead of the
Roman silks and fosses that have
been familiar so long One distinctive
usage is seen in bodices of black satin
or liberty silk, made over white lin
ings.
If it is arranged with tucks-either
bias or straight, the interspaces are
decorated with a working of the
double zephyr. The decoration never
represents flowers, leaves or similar
designs. Usually it is worked in a cat
stitch, and, as an added touch, when
the needle points out of each side of
the goods, the zephyr is thrown about
it several times and fastened so as TO
form a French knot.
The dress goods under the worsted
is then cut away, and allows the un-
derlining to show through only slight
ly, as the catstitching was very close
ly done. The worsted was of many
colors, through which yellow and pur-
pie predominated.
Another charming bodice was of
cherry liberty silk made over
cream white. 1t was deliberately
worked with black double zephyr.
On rather fancy shirt waists this
work, though slight, gives them a
touch of style and novelty. The edges,
also of fancy and adjustable collars
with ear points and pointed cuffs, are
being finished with double zephyr.
At first they are edged with satin
ribbon of some color in contrast to
the collar, and on the ribbon the
worsted work is executed. This work
is quickly done, and it is greatly in
it's favor that no advance designing is
daptabihty for such work are all that
is required.
It is also feasible to fill in many
sharp little corners on gowns with a
fan-shaped bit the stitches being
long and graduated. Again the old
Roman block design is used on straps
to cross over the vests of bodices.
BY those that know about up-to-
date gowns it seems a. though even
more attention was paid to what is
new in wrinkles, as such little points
as this one about worsted are called,
than to the excellence of the quality
OF their goods.

THE LITTLE BUSY BEE.
SngaciOus Honey makers Have q
Means OF Indicating Desira-
BILE living Trees.

Naturalists have long been of the
opinion that animals and insects have
languages of their own. and we'll
known facts seem to bear out the
claim, says the Chicago Chronicle
Bees have so often displayed their
shrewdness in the selection of re-
ceptacles for their honey that it
would be strange if they were not en-
dowed with the faculty of commune
eating with each other. Al expert
who has made special study of the
habits of the busy buzzing bee in
ssts that they have a language Of
their own. They carry different
meanings by their buzzings," he says,
land they understand each other like
top but found out one thing about
them that I don't think anybody else
did-bees have got a written language
and they send communications to each
other. | found this out after years
of close observation. When the bees
get too awfully numerous in a tree
fill up the hollow so that it's too
crowded for comfort-certain wise
bees are sent out to prospect.
when a pioneer of this kind finds
big, likely-looking tree with a hos
pitable-looking wind crack in it he
takes plenty of time and goes all over
it carefully. Sometimes he finds that,
while the place looks nice and com
modious on the outside, the knothole
leads to shallow receptacle or the
crack is not deep enough to accommo-
date even a bachelor bee, much less a
whole brood.
in such a case he gets out and
writes message to all and sundry
bees that may come along that way:
This tree is no good. The knothole is
a fake and the wind crack is n frost
pass it up He writes this with his
tail, stringing honey along as we
string ink. If the tree is all right, he
puts up sign to that effect. The
next bee scents the honey, lights and
reads the first words of the message,
and if the report is unfavorable flies
off, saying: 'Hm-m-m-h! and does
not worry himself any further
about it.
"Oh. yes, bees are cute, and If
you've got the idea that they're slow
it's because you are slow yourself"

AN OFFICIAL PRAYER,
One That Was Prepared by Episcopal
Bishops for British Sol
diers in Africa.

The great majority of the services
held in the British army and navy, as
in the American army and navy, are
according to the Book of Common
Prayer of the Episcopal church. The
board of bishops of the Church of
England has just issued special "of-
fetal prayer for the use of their SOL
diers in South Africa. The phraseol-
ogy is interesting when read reflect
lively. 1t is as follows:
Almighty Father, l have often
sinned against Thee. Oh, wash me
in the precious blood of the Lamb.
o God, fill me with Thy Holy Spirit,
that | may lead new life. Spare me
to see again those | love at home.
or fit me for Thy presence in peace.
Strengthen us to quit ourselves like
men in our right and great cause.
Keep us faithful unto death, calm in
danger, patient in suffering, merciful
as well as brave. true to our queen,
our country and our colors. If it be
Thy will, enable us to win victory for
Britain; but, above all, grant us the
better victory over temptation and
sin, over life and death, that we NAV
be more than conquerors through Him
who loved us, and laid down His life
for us, Jesus, our Saviour, the Cap
tain of the army Of God. Amen"

DEVOTION TO A DOG.
An Old Veteran of the Civil War Who
Would Not Desert His Canine
Companion.

Leslie Livermore, the survivor of
the civil war whose devotion to his
dog Kaiser had earned for him much
celebrity, has decided that he will live
and die a tramp and beggar, with his
faithful dog as a companion, rather
than pass the rest of his days in com
fort without him, says the New York
Times.
Postmaster Barck, of Hoboken, who
has been caring for the pair, secured
admission to the soldiers home in
Washington for Livermore. The other
day he had the papers ready in his
desk, and he informed Livermore, who
was highly pleased until he learned
that on entering the home he would
have to part with his dog.
NO." he said, II don't want your
papers. I will go to work on farm.
| will get out in the woods and stir
up leaves to secure something to eat
rather than part with Kaiser
mo, Kaiser" he said turning to the
dog, Il am sorry you saved my life.
but you did it, and I'll spend it with
you"
Livermore was once canal boat
captain. The cabin caught fire, and
he would probably have been burned
TO death but for Kaiser, who awak-
ened him.

The QunrrclInX Habit

Do not permit the children to form
the habit of disputing and quarreling
with each other. 1t may be prevented,
ness, particularly if the training is
begun when the children are very
young. Separation is the best pun
ishment, breaking up the play and
taking away the cause of the dis
pute. Children are social beings and
do not like to play alone. They dis
like solitude, and if they frd it is in
variably the result of quarreling they
will take pains to be more amiable, so
as not to be forced into it.-Ladies'
Home journal.

RUGS OF RARE BEAUTY.
Are Woven In Smyrna by Poorly Paid
Laborers and Turkish
Slave Wives.

Perhaps few residents of Chicago
who decorate their homes with these
beautiful rugs know where and by
whom they are made. 1t is not at
Smyrna, as their names would imply,
but far in the interior Of Asia Minor,
many miles beyond the reach of rail-
roads, says the Chicago Chronicle.
Whole villages are engaged in their
manufacture; they are not made in
factories, but in the peasants bones,
if that name may be applied to the
bare walls (often quite open on one
side, to admit Light, where, exposed
to cold and storm, Turkish women
weave, without other fire than the
few Goals contained in the brass men
gal" This is scarcely sufficient to
keep their fingers supple enough for
their work.
From early in the morning till
night the peculiar dull thump of the
heavy mallets, beating down the pile,
may be heard throughout the town.
The "pater," or head of the Turk
ish household usually makes the loom,
conforming its size to the number of
women in his family, allotting space
of three or four feet to each person.
He also prepares the wool, and this
done he reposes till the next season
rolls around, but the slow, tedious
weaving and beating of the pile are
part of the woman's work which "is
never DONE"
The ordinary Turk has at least
three or four wives, which often
means just that many slaves to work
for him Many of these women sub
sist on black bread. soaked in water,
and on this scanty diet they weave
from dawn till dark, fashioning the
gay warm rugs which give such coy
appearance to the homes of more for
tunate women. During the Mussul-
mans "ramaan" Ca fast of 20 days.
not morsel of food or drop of liquid
passes their lips from sunrise till sun
set Whatever they eat is consumed
during the night.
Turkish girls are quite pretty, and
are scarcely in their teens ere they
are given in marriage-generally to
men very much older. The father
gets some remuneration for the loss
of a worker, and the only change in
the girls material condition is that
she must labor now for husband in
stead of father.
Each village makes its particular
style of rug, which is known by the
name of the town, as the Coula, Geur-
diz, Ushak, etc. These towns are
mostly in the hands of agents, many
of whom furnish their exclusive de
signs and colors. The price paid for
the work is very small; a rug - by II,
woven by five persons, and requiring
six weeks work, may be bought in the
bazaars of Smyrna for $40.
Goats hair rugs are very handsome,
having silken sheen. and are more
expensive, especially since the hair
has been in demand for dress goods
A rug of goats hair, four feet hy
eight, requiring three months labor
of one person Chat is, preparing the
hair and weaving), would sell at the
bazaars for about S35. The rugs are
carried by caravans from these interi-
or towns to the nearest railroad or
sometimes all the way to Smyrna.

AALA SQUATTERS
ARE ALL EVlCTED
The Chinese and Japanese
Shacks are Torn
Down.

The Chinese and Japanese shacks which
have orna,nented Aala Park on the Eva
side of the Nuuanu stream were RACED
yesterday and the tenants thereof have
quilted the public land which they were
holding as squatters. Most of them were
opium-smokers with little or no means,
and who have not seemed particularly
anxious to work. Marston Campbell, the
Road Supervisor. has had his eye on the
growing settlement for some time, and q
few days since notified the squatters to
leave. Yesterday morning, with a force
OF men, he effected their eviction and the
destruction Of the shanties in which they
have resided.
Notwithstanding the sweeping destruc-
ticn which the Road Supervisor effected
In Aala Park and the force that was nee
essary to get the squatters off the land,
carts were on hand in which to convey
these who wished shelter to Kalihi deten-
ton camp. Few of them availed them
selves of this opportunity. and went out
seeking the sheltering roofs Of friends.
None Of the structures was of such a
type that more than a few moments was
necessary to bring them to the ground.

presented an entirely different aspect aft

down. The desire to destroy was large

and their hands were willing. Such work
was play with the men. and the crow
bars swung merrily upon the rough board
walls of the shacks and sent many pang
of dismay to the hearts of the evicted
ores. All were allowed to take away
their effects The Chinese trait OF en-
terprise was apparent as soon as the
shacks were down, for they rushed In
and carried away the planks as fast as
detached.
