Concerning Sleeves.

Under-sleeves are still in favor, made
of lace, chiffon, batiste, liberty silk-of
any material different from the rest
Of the gown. They fit close to the arm
OF are in puffs, and some even are
shirred; but none of them are ugly or
exaggerated. The sleeve that stops
just at the elbow, or little below it,
finished there with q turned-back cuff,
is not nearly so popular as it has been,
probably because it is usually unbe-
coming. 1t is much less graceful than
the sleeve that finishes below the ell
bow in a rufIie or flares in an exegger-
ated copy of the coat sleeve. Thin
gowns look well with elbow sleeves,
but one style that is fashionable is
most unbecoming; this is the sleeve fin.
ished below the elbow with folds of
muslin or silk and without ruftle or
flare. 1t is one of the most trying
styles ever designed, and yet seems to
have a firm hold on the affections of
many women. An attractive sleeve
which looks equally well made of silk,
muslin, or cloth, is just little larger
than the arm, and reaches not quite
to the wrist, where it is finished in
squares, and shows underneath full
puff of the same material, gathered
into a band The reason this is SO be-
coming is that is has lines long enough
to make the arm appear graceful

Tho Cat Goddess.

In old Egypt there was q burial
place for sacred cats as well a3 for
sacred bulls. A cemetery of cats eX-
listed near Bubastis. A few years ago
Monsieur Naville found buried in the
mound the ruined temple of Bast or
Pasht, the cat goddess, who gave her
name to the city.
The foundation of Bubastis carries
us back to the period of the building
of the great Egyptian pyramids. The
Bubastis Of the Egyptians is the same
as the Artemis of the Greeks, who is
generally said to be the same as the
Diana Of the Romans, a goddess Of
light, representing the moon. So Bast,
or Pasht was connected with the cat
on the one hand and the moon on the
other. Accordingly it is quite possible
that puss, when she figures as a SYM
Dol in the Egyptian worship, repre-
sents something in astronomy and in
the calendar.
Ovid calls the cat the sister of the
moon, and says that Pasht took the
form of cat to avoid Typhon. Ac-
cording to Plutarch, a cat placed in
lustrum denoted the moon. 1t is stated
by some writers that the "cat' was
an interclary month, added in the one
hundred and twentieth year to rectify
the calendar.

A Veritable Nemesis.

A melodramatic story Of Nemesis
quite Oriental in color, comes from
knin, in Dalmatia. A substantial
cattle dealer, having sold couple of
beasts for 500 crowns, stealthily gave
the money into his daughters keep
ing for safety. On the way home two
men who knew of the transaction way
laid the pair and murdered the father,
letting the girl escape. Fleeing In
terror she at last took refuge in n
solitary cottage, where she told her
story to the women. letting out also
the secret of the money. The hut
turned out to be that Of the murderers,
who on returning chagrined at the
barren result of their crime, were sur
prised to learn that the prize still lay
unsuspiciously within their grasp. The
girl was invited to rest for the night,
sleeping with another girl of about
her own age, the murderers intend.
Ing to strangle her as she slept AS
1t happened, the two girls changed
places during the night, and the men,
going in complete darkness for their
fell work, strangled their own relative,
while the intended victim, paralyzed
into silence, lay still until all was
quiet again, and then managed to
make her escape through the Lole lii
the wall doing duty as window. The
murderers have been arrested LION.

Queer Case of n Horses Death.

Farmers who are frequently at a
loss to know what strange diseases
are destroying their stock will be in
terested in the experience of William
Bickford, who lives in the town Of
Martinsburgh, Mo-, whose valuable
horse, which had been running down
for the past year, died, and Bickfords s
curiosity led him to investigate the
cause. Upon opening the animal, he
found the liver enlarged to three times
its normal size. In the stomach, which
he then proceeded to dissect, he found

and three inches in circumference. AS

Locomotives Are Clumsy.

PASSING cRANKS ALONG.
Washington Method of Dealing With
Harmless Ones.

The Government departments in
Washington are naturally very attrac-
! tive to rowing cranks of the harmless
variety. More such persons can be
seen here in month than in any other
city in year. Perhaps they find it
easier to induce somebody to listen to
them or to get some attention paid to
their schemes. At all events, the prac-
tice has grown up of passing them
along" unless they seem dangerous
enough to warrant calling Il police
man. The other day man approach
ed the private secretary to the Attor-
ney- General for his legal opinion. The
secretary, in great hurry, referred
him to Colonel Clay, the chief clerk
of the department, under whose au-
thority all such weighty matters, he
! said, came.

ger, addressing Colonel Clay, "and af-

suppose they thought my system
might be tried in the South American
countries first. But when outlined
my plan at the bureau they told me
to write to my Congressman and get
him to take the matter up. I did so,
, but he has never answered by letter,
and so have come back to Washing
ton to lay it before the Attorney Gen.
eral. l must have his opinion"
Colonel Clay told his visitor that the
practice of the department was against
giving opinions to outside parties;
that it was really a law Office for the
President of the United States and the
heads Of departments. He according
ly advised the promoter to get his sys-
tenn printed SO that the world might
have the benefit of it. At first the vis-
ltor would not hear n word Of that,
saying If it were printed lot of crit
cism would be provoked, while If it
could go out with the endorsement Of
the Attorney General such opposition
would be headed off. But the further
arguments of Colonel Clay prevailed,
and the manufacturer of governments
departed in great glee, looking for a
printer. Colonel Clay says that that
is always the safest and the surest
way of disposing of such guests. Of

Chiffon yelling in white, black and

Pearl gray and fawn colors are ex-
pected to be leaders in fall tints in
| millinery.
A boa Of Partisan design is made Of
white chiffon roses, with green cen
tres. heavily spangled with strass.
For early fall wear it is predicted
| that plumes will be extensively worn
| colors, black, white, beige, castor, coral,
pearl gray, ciel and maize.
| Many of the summer frocks are with
out chokers. In such cases the bodice
is generally finished by deep collar
| of embroidered batiste or fichu.
While the soft lawn or silk tie has n
great degree taken the place of the
stiff collar, n white stock with Ascot
ends is favorite for golf or outing
wear.
An attractive skirt for heavy linen
is cut circular with circular flource
ending in q stitched band at the top
| and trimmed with three rows of white
! braid around the hem.
Long black and white ostrich plumes
are very much worn this season, and
they are put on the hat to droop not
e little at one side, touching the shoul-
der in some instances.
Rosettes Of baby ribbon matching
the color of the gown and combined
with innumerable loops of black velvet
ribbon of the same width represent
new idea in garnlture for thin muslin
gowns.
The collarless gown brings the pearl
necklace into vogue to such an extent
that the supply OF real pearls cannot
meet the demand. But it is the price
and not the small supply which is the
usual obstacle to obtaining such
necklace. So the imitation pearls have
| come into the breach in greater perfec-
ton and beauty than ever before.

A Woman Farmer.

Mrs. Minnie EShleman Sherman, of
California, a former society girl OF
Philadelphia, owns and manages q
farm Of twenty-eight hundred acres,
with its varied interest of dairying,
stock farming and fruit growing. In
her palm bordered orchards and vine
yards are grown raisin grapes, pears,
peaches, apricots, nectarines, prunes,
oranges, almonds and olives. For her
immense herds, Mrs. Sherman grows
all Of her own feed, the cows in sum-
mer being pastured on alfalfa, and, as
the season advances, on ensilage made
from the first crop Of alfalfa; then on
corn from the silo, and later ON green
rye.
In addition to the dairy which sup
plies its immense creamery, Mrs. Sher-
man has a large number of thorough
bred horses and q big herd Of fine
Berkshire swine. Among the lessons
which Mrs. Sherman learned by a sad
experience was the fact that the beau.
tiful Jersey cows which have found
nourishment on sweet hill pastures N
a cool, moist sea air will not thrive on
fields of alfalfa in q warm, dry valley.
These have been replaced by the sturd.

she is said to have now one of the fin

barns contain all the latest devices for

Our Highest Mountain Peak.

Mount Mckinley, with an altitude
of 20,464 feet, is the highest noun
tain in North America and forms the
central point of an enormous and sur
passingly grand mountain mass, stu
ated at the head waters of the Sush-
0tna and Kuskokwim rivers in Alaska.
Mount Mckinley was known to the
Russians who settled about the head
of Cook Inlet nearly 100 years ago and
was called by them Bulshaia-that is,
Big. The first American to see and
publish an account of it was a pros
peotor named w. A. Dickey, who gave
the mountain its present name.
