In the Black Forest new substance
has been produced by the boiling of
untanned leather in OIL which has,
first all the property of being a good
electrical insulator, but, besides this,
it can be used for manifold purposes.
This new material can be polished,
and in its structure resembles horn,
and can be pressed or worked into any
form Whatsoever, either directly after
the boiling process or later, after the
hardened hide has been made soft and
elastic by being dipped into a salt
or alum bath. By means of polishing
this material can be made almost
transparent, and it can also be given
different degrees of hardness, so that
substance is obtained which can be
kneaded, embossed, stamped. pressed.
drawn and twisted into any desired
shape or design.

All strong, overpowering odors are
tabooed by the woman of taste and

Strong perfume is very offensive to
people of refinement, and the use is
subject to the reproach of concealing
some more offensive odor.
Violet carnation rose. haliotrope

fumes of the modern woman, from
which she makes her one selection,
and each odor may be got, not only
in perfume, but in sachet powder, in
soap, and in other toilette requisites
as well.-American Queen.

Miss Gail Sherman of Syracuse, N.
y, has been chosen as the sculptor of
the monument to be erected in that
city to the memory of Hamilton S.
White. The memorial calls for a
granite arch base, with bronze Pc
destal and bust of Mr. White, also in
bronze. At the sides of the monument
there will be bronze figures. Miss
Sherman will do her work in New
York City in order to receive criti-
cisms from French and st. Gaudens,
both of whom have promised to aid
her.
Mr. White was known as the citizen
chief of the fire department of SYRIA
cuse, and gave his services without
compensation for 20 years. He met
his death while fighting the flames at
a fire in March, 1899. Twelve thou

Empress Haruko of Japan attains
her fifty-frst birthday in May, being
two years older than her husband, and
is woman Of remarkable character,
as her face plainly shows. Since re-
ceiving the crown her prime object
has been the amelioration of the Jap
anese womans position. She has
founded several colleges for young
women and made herself famous
throughout two continents by opening
up at Toxic the much-talked-of
woman's hospital. 1t is also due to
her that Japanese women have aban-
doned the barbarous habit of black
ening their teeth and shaving off their
eyebrows.
But the empress's public work has
never caused her to neglect her duties
as wife and mother A more devoted
couple cannot be found in the island,
and the emperor has frequently shown
his fondness for her by dedcating
poems ito my darling Ha-uko." He
has implicit confidence in her iudg-
ment. No matter of state is ever set
tied without first having been talked
over with the empress.-Chicago

Separate Waists.

Separate waists are made of taffeta
with lace. Those of taffeta are in
wide pleats with the edges of the
pleats stitched, and the newest are
trimmed with round cane collars, the
lowest collar edged with a fancy
braid. The under-sleeves of a differ
ent material from the waist are not
nearly so fashionable as they were,
and are made much smaller and less
conspicuous. The waists of all one
color of taffeta and OF a plain silk or
Of Liberty satin are preferred to
those of brocaded or fgnred velvet,
but there is also a craze for the lace
waists made over satin and of the
inexpensive varieties Of lace, in light
yellow or ash-color. These are not
nearly so expensive as might he
thought from their appearance, and
wear very well. for the lace itself is
fairly strong and the color prevents
their soiling too easily These waists
are quite simple in design, but fit well,
owing to the satin lining, which is al
ways boned and made like a dress
waist. Lansdowne IS a material that
has become very popular for waists.
1t wears better than many of the
silks, is less expensive, and in black
particularly is an excellent investment.

An English physician of distinction
gives these suggestions for cure of in
somnia: In cases where the patient
sleeps for an hour or two then awakes
with a start and cannot go to sleep
again, the physician recommends that
a hot water compress be laid on the
abdomen. Where one cannot go to
sleep on retiring, and is unable to
dismiss thoughts that have occupied
the day, it is advised that the patient
keep his feet in water as hot as he can
bear comfortably for 10 minutes be-
fore going to bed. He should then put
on a pair of thin cotton hose wrung
out of cold water, and over Chose a
pair of woolen ones. A more power
full remedy is mustard sitz bath. with
the proportion of teacupful of mus
tard to a gallon of hot water. He
should remain seated in the bath from
10 to 20 minutes. In many cases, a
reclining bath in tepid water is useful
as sedative.

Never were there more novelties in
hosiery and underwear than the shops
are showing at the present time. 1t
seems settled that fancy stockings are
to be worn almost exclusively, and
that colors are to take precedence of
black. Color has appeared in jersey
underwear too, in an entirely new
character, and Is guaranteed not to
fade. Even union suits now can be
bought in light blue, pink, lavender
and ecru.
The straight front corset is growing
in popularity, and the indications are
that the old styles will have disap-
peared entirely in another year. Sum-
mer corsets in grdle and empire fash
ions are shown in large quantities, so
it is evident that the merchants ex-
pect demand for them.
The straight front corset has neces-
STATED. a straight front petticoat,"
and the new skirts of fine quality are
cut to fit the figure produced by it..
Embroidery is more often seen on
these dainty skirts than lace, and hem
stitching and tucks appear on many.
The white skirt will be worn the COM
ing summer in preference to silk. ow-
ing to the vogue that thin white goods
are certain to have in gowns.
Corset covers are the filmiest. most
artistic creations imaginable, to suit
the extreme delicacy of the coming
shirtwaist. They, too. are made to
conform to the straight front corset
model, being longer in front.
Some lovely new nightdresses have
boleros of fine embroidery or lace.
Others have fichu and surplce ar
rangements, and still others are made
like babies long dresses. with front
breadth ornamented by rows of in
sertion.
Silk skirts, like the white, are being
fitted to the new corset. and are so
perfectly adjusted to the dress skirt
that the sheath effect is increased
Many of them would serve admirably
as drop skirts under the transparent
fabrics that are to be so popular. 1t
will be imperative in the spring, that
the petticoat shall fit as correctly as
the dress skirt. otherwise the latter
will be spoiled in effect The sheath
like fashion is firmly established. and
the princess skirt. which is one of
the spring novelties, will accentuate
the clinging character of the gown, so
that the slightest fulness in the petit
coat, elsewhere than trife at the
back, would mar the smoothness be-
yond hope.
Most ornate effects are seen in the
chemises worn by many fashionable
women. They are really combina-
ton of corset cover and underwear in
womens wardrobe. The present
mode has no waste of material. and
falls almost without a fold from bust
to knee. The upper part is trimmed
daintily, and the lower is ruffied and
inserted and tucked. The material is
finest nainsook. and everything per-
tanning to the garment must be of
corresponding delicacy,-New York

Held sweep; Court Held shepherd.

A delightful example of the perver.
sity of the brute creation. most dis
gusting to the unfortunate victim,
however, caused suit for damages
in an English court in the sheep coun-
try last week. The shepherd, who was
the defendant, was driving flock of
sheep through a town when one sheep,
becoming detached from the flock, saw
it's companions through two windows
and jumped through the glass of the
first window. On getting inside it saw
its companions outside and jumped
through the other window and joined
them. The shepherd defended the suit
with the Plea that the sheep were re-
sponsi5le and not he, but the court
made him pay $40 damages. For pun
ishment. he converted the animal into
mutton as soon as he left the court.

Another time. | remember, Clem
Burr came down to visit his sister.
Glenn was a conductor on some rail
road, and we had great deal of re-
spect for railroads in our town. the
nearest one being about 35 miles away,
and there was a general idea that the
conductors owned the railroads. Add
to this that our common wear was

the swath that Glen cut when he came

brass buttons and habitually wearing

boots that were polished every day.

couldn't forgive his buttons, either.

he wasn't interested. Nobody had
taken any notice of him when he came
in except to look up for an instant, and
Uncle Billy didn't even do that. At
