EXPECTING MORE COMPANY.

An Irish servant girl of recent i'm
portation was preparing the ice cream,
tea and cakes for a Brooklyn evening
party when her employer remarked to
her daughter jocularly, apropos of the
heat:
I'm afraid those mosquitoes will
come in tonight over the back fence. .
Going downstairs to the kitchen la
ter she was surprised to find several
gallons of tea more than she needed
already made.
You've made too much tea, Norah,' .
she said. Il told you the big kettle
full would be quite enough
Sure, that's so, ma'am, replied the
girl, but that was before you said

HAMMOCK MEMORIES.

1t was this way. Brown, putting it
plainly, is fat. Some of his friends
with cannibalistic imaginations say
that he is fat enough to butcher. But
let that pass. He is fat, and the other
night, shirt open at the collar, damp
hair spread at will, and fan going like
pendulum of grandfather's clock.
he served notice that he was going to-
stretch hammock in the back yard
and sleep there. Mrs. Brown made the
foolish suggestions of burglars, Group,
and neuralgia, but he was fixed in his
purpose
Brown is the best and most reliable
sleeper in town. The storm came with
Its deluge. The swaying hollyhocks
banged him in the face, and the swing
ing branches of the big maple tried TO
bat him out of the hammock. But
they only rocked him, and the rain
cooled him. His visions were charm
until he dreamed that he was Cadillac,
standing at the prov of his bateau and
going for the foot of Randolph street
as though pursued by sea serpent
of the New York yellow journal breed.
All would have gone well, as n
nightmare. but he sprang to his feet
with valiant shout, waved an i'm
aginary sword, pitched about like q
dugout in maelstrom, went over
board head first, and came down hard
| on a sidewalk.
Brown is all right unless complica-
lions set in, but one side of his scalp
is trying to grow on again, his left
ear fiops, he has an arm in a sling,
and there is towel over one eye. The
moral he draws is that once in 20e
years is great plenty.-Detroit Free

he washed his parched throat with

making an Intellectual effort to do so,
and the next morning he faced the sun

WHY HE DID NOT PLEASE,

From the Louisville Times: About
the greenest apple on the bough is the
young fellow whose fond mamma is
trying to introduce him into society.
He is as awkward as a bear, all hands
and feet, and when sent to call ON q
girl he glares around her parlor for
some means of escape, and looks like
be was sitting on porcupine
One of these young fellows paid q
party call on beautiful girl in So
ciety."
Had mighty pretty party, Miss
Bee" he said.
THANK you" was the reply, 81 am
glad you were pleased"
1T was real handsome party"
Again the hostess smiled affably.
Ma said she heard it was a splendid
party"
Now tell you what. Miss Bee" he
continued, irrelevantly. don't you
know, when call on girl don't care
whether she's pretty or not. No; Just
call anyhow. | don't care if she's as
ugly as sin"
Had the hostess been homely she
would have slain him for that, unless
she possessed sense of humor. AS it
was she put her fan before her face,
and history has never stated whether
the conversation and visit ended there
or not.

Art IN DRESS.

The artistic faculty Is one of the in
herited traits of woman II is betrayed
In her earliest efforts at adornment of
her person and surroundings. Ii is the
temperament of woman, as well as her
natural birthright, to guard the beauti-
ful In life, and to make her whole ex-
.stence a visible manifestation of II.
Civilization has given to her oppor-
tunities in this direction denied her in
the past. says the Ledger Monthly.
She has been emancipated from the
slavery of conditions which narrowed
and destroyed those possibilities of per-
sonal expression born within her. Yet
even In barbaric times she was not
blind to the influence of personal
adornment The evolution Of her dress
may have been from the rude blanket
and wild boar's skin TO the modern
silks and furs Of unriyalled beauty and
picturesqueness but there was al
ways, even In the beginning, a method
OF wearing the garments that betrayed
the dormant gifts. She could be artis-
tic even with the simplest and rudest of
garments.
The art OF dress becomes factor Of
Importance, not only in the life OF the
woman who devotes her time 10 il. but
in all those who associate with her.
The expression OF her artistic tempera-
ment may be manifested in no other
way than that OF dress, and yet she
may produce an effect of Unreasonable
importance on the world. it is hardly
consistent to belittle the effect of wom-
ans dress even when carried 10 an eX-
IRENE, and thoughts of it absorb all
other considerations of life. The paint
er is justified. according to human
standards, in deyoting all his time and
strength TO the production of beauty on
his canvas; and the poet is considered
legitimately employed If he merely
strives TO express in the highest artistic
form those thoughts and emotions Of
love which come TO him in the highest
degree. The decorator, the musician
and the singer are all appealing to the
tense OF sight or hearing through beau
tiful forms of sound.
The woman who understands the art
OF personal adornment finds gratifica-
ton OF artistic expression in her dress.
she studies II from many points of
view: considers the harmony Of eolors
and style: views herself apart from her
personality and environments; and
finds in the whole work a service OF
love which is little lower than that
which the poet painter feels for his
productions Dress performs the dou-

A young lady, being interviewed on

do II to show that women have a sense

that very young people OF the feminine

gle when they are embarrassed and
when they are amused, and for nothing

THE AUTOMATIC pIsro,

Inc latest in small arms is the MIS-
ioi which has just been adopted NV
the Swiss government and has lately
Deen tested by the United States war
department. In speaking OF it in the
american Machinist, G. II. Powell
calls attention to the fact that the
limited range OF the revolver is large
~ due 10 the escape OF the powder gas
about the cylinder. and then SAYS:
what is known as the automatic
pistol Of today seems almost perfect
realization Of the ends sought. Though
called automatic, this weapon is in
reality only semi-automatic as sue
cessiye pressures on the trigger are
necessary TO Its operation.
This weapon is a repeating arm in
which the force Of the expansion OF the
gas the recoil, or kick is utilized
ai'er each shot to open the breech-
block, extract the empty case, cock the
hfihg-pin. and. BY means OF recuper-
alive spring, charge the pistol with a
new cartridge, the operator merely
having 10 press the trigger for each
