NEW FADS IN NEcKwRAR.
of Velvet for FaIl and
Winter.

The woman Is always interested In
neckwear fashions, the only difficulty
being that fashion in this matter is such
tickle jade that It is hard to keep tally
with her. One day she declares low
effects; the next 1t must be so high that
the chin seems supported by an iron
band.
Neekwear is very dear to the average
woman's heart, for the dressing of her
neck often makes or mars a woman's
whole toilette, and 1t behooves her to be
very careful in her choice OF stocks, ties,
cravats, ribbons or collars.
Velvet is promised for next winter.
The predictions so far are in favor of
velvet season, therefore some of the
newest confections In neckwear are
shown In the fashion of velvet stocks.
These stocks come in all manner Of fam
cy designs, some criss-crossed over
contrasting color, with the omnipotent
velvet ribbon.
The long. fluffy chiffon boas, which
are deseryedly popular, as they soften
the face and are becoming to the home
Hest cast Of features. still retain their
popularity and are being shown in very
pretty new designs. As they are so per-
ishable, the woman with a small pocket-
book would do well to attend the bar
gain sale Of these goods and pay as little
as she consistently can and yet get an
article worth buying.
As all indications point to the revival
Of empire fashions, when stout grand
mothers wore skimpy skirts and very
short-waisted bodices and carried lace
scarfs aud mantillns, advance fashions
show us that these two mentioned ar
ticles Of woman's wardrobe promise
10 be feature OF winter house gowns.

PHONoGRAPH AMAZES THEM.
Wonderful Instrument Repeat
Their War Song.

A very curious emeur wus- r-si..aAd
at Earl's Court recently, when few
representatives of the various savage
tribes spoke into the receiver OF an
Edison phonograph. Frank Fills, who
happened to be present, spoke few
words dsofappreciation for the ears Of the
public after the Swazi contingent had
made hash of the business. The Zulus
sang splendid war song directed
against some imaginary foes. The In
terpretation of the first line Isl ."0h, ye
that are brave. come forth from your
lair" and wound up with terrific war
yell. The Shangaans also chanted
song in praise of the fish which is
brought to them without the trouble
of having TO catch It as they do in their
native country.
Immediately after the recording
process was at an end they were all
invited 10 listen. A big Zulu fixed his
ears as close as he could get them.
settled his face down into n gigantic
grin and so kept II until the war song
he had previously taken part in began
to peel out. He then sent forth lusty
"Suka" (get OUT, and but for the inter-
vention of some one present he would
have torn the whole instrument in frag-
ments to find the oncoming enemy.
Some Of the other Zulus dropped lower
jaws and, opening their eyes to the
fullest extent, looked out of the door
and window of the chief officers quar-
ters, expecting to meet the hidden war
riors. singularly enough, they could
not be persuaded that the voices they
heard were their own.
Outside the Kaffir kraal for hours
they kept an animated indaba, fondly
imagining that a fresh batch of war
riors would shortly be helping them
to share the joys Of summer and the
land OF plenty.-London Mail.

How to SIT In a Hanson.

We have borrowed many things from
the English. One is the accepted meth
cd OF getting into and out of cab, pre-
sumably because the hanson is the real
English and real smart thing nowadays.
The novice in hanson cab driving gets
in as she would into victoria, coupe or
other American equipage, and seats
herself on the far side, leaving room
for her companion or escort to be seat
ed by her side, next 10 the curb on en-
tering. Not so the woman who has had
her hanson education in London or in
an English environment. She seats
herself where she enters-that is, at the
curb. and her escort is obliged to crawl
by her to get to his place. Where we
turn TO the right in driving the con
tinental method is TO turn TO the left,
and vice versa, which probably ac-
counts for this method of transplanted
misdirection which we follow In riding
in a hanson. The matter has now
reached the automobile stage, and the
question has been settled that the han
som method is to be followed, and that
the proper seat for the first one who
enters is at the curb side Chicago

CLEVER CHINESE PIRATES.
Their Raids skillfuIly Planned and
Are Generally Daring and
succeHsfuI.

The United States government has
been called upon recently to protect
American ships from the rayages Of
pirates in Chinese and other eastern
waters. A formal request has been
made by Consul General Wildman, who
reports the loss of many lives and of
immense quantities Of merchandise.
The modern pirate is an exceedingly up
.to-date person, daring and fearless
who is very hard TO catch or conquer
They lead nomadc lives which read
like the adventures of novel.
Very little is known in America of
the really marvellous feats of daring
TO which these pirates resort to elude
the authorities, who are always keep
ing very sharp lookout for them. An
English traveller, Prof. Skertchley, OF
the British museum,who has lived for
years In the far east aud studied the
methods of the pirates, talked very en-

KEEP THE GLASS BRIGHT.
II should he Thoroughly Polished
and No Soap Used In
washing.

A dainty table is mark of good
breeding, and shining glass is the great
est of all table ornaments. Pretty
glassware can be purchased so cheap
ly nowadays that any purse can afford
a number of pretty articles. These,
however, will not add TO the appear
nnce of the table unless the glass is kept
shiningly clean, and the lack of shining
glass cannot be supplied with anything
else placed upon the table. The glass
ware needs to be polished quite as often
as the silver IL we want TO keep II at
its best, for II any Of the glassware Is
clouded II will spoil the entire effect
of an otherwise perfect table. II Is
easy to keep glass clean, but very hard
to wash IL dust is allowed TO accumulate
in the crevices on the right side. The
inside of the dish Is almost always
washed, but il is not such an easy mat
ter to wash the outside of fancy glass
ware. Even the cheap ware, however,
may be made to look as well as cut glass
IL 1t Is cleansed often and thoroughly
polished after each washing. A very
important point in washing glass Is to
avoid sudden changes. from extreme
cold to extreme heat. A glass ulich
has held ice water should not be
plunged at once into hot water, as II
will be apt TO crack, and changes from
heat to cold are just as dangerous. The
best glassware should not be carried
from the dning-room oftener than nee
essary, but it is best to take 1t to the
kitchen once week and treat II "a
hot, strong suds. All the glassware
should be rinsed In cold water before
II Is put into the suds, especially the
glasses which have been used for milk
Prepare a strong suds Of pearline and
hot water and wash the glass in suds
then rinse in clear hot water and wipe
as quickly as possible No soap Should
ever be used about glass, as II is almost
impossible TO rinse II clear after uslni
soap, and of course our aim Is TO max,
ii as bright as possible. II the glass
ware is thoroughly rinsed and wipet
while hot with soft dry towels, even tn,
cheap ware will be as sparkling as th,
real cut glass,--Ilome Magazine,

FIRST PATENT IN AMERICA.
The Queer Document was Issued In

Massachusetts.

To the general court Of Massachu-
setts belongs the honor Of granting the
first American patent; this was In 1e4s

oily. 1t was confined TO the region con
trolled by Massachusetts and the one
issue apparently included all the in
yention Of the inventor connected with
engines that depended upon water for
their motive power. The limit OF the
monopoly was IA years, and the court
not only retained power to forbid ex-
Portation, but to prevent exorbitant
charges upon ths pu'slie for their uAe.
