A Becoming Home Down.

Comfortable home gowns, that are
tasteful and becoming at the same
time that they can be slipped on with
ease, are essential TO every womans
outfit. The charming May Manton

the merit of being in the latest style
The original is made OF turquoise blue
challie with black figures, the front
and undersleeyes being of plain blue
Sapho satin. The revers of black vel

which threads of gold are woven. but
many equally satisfactory materials

ross, princess crepe, nuns yelling and
French flannel are all fashionable.

The back is fitted with a centre seam
slde-backs and under-arm cores that
curve to the figure and give princess

The Martyrs of science,

The death of a number of courage
Gus and high-minded people caused
by efforts to determine whether mos
quito bites can convey yellow fever,
is a reminder of the penalties which
science has ever eXacted from her
devotees. Comparative poverty, II not
actual want. must be faced without
hesitation. Even when the govern
ment has need of 1t, the price paid for
superior learning is very insufficient.
Inc ordinary social intercourse is to
be foregone. And even life itself must
sometimes be risked; not to attain
any definite object which shall at least
cause the martyrs name to sound
with honor. but simply to secure an
authoritative yes" or mo" to ques-
tions on which future experiments
tions depend. The soldier is lauded
for his courage and the statesman Is
admired for his ability. The public
loves to honor them as they deserve
to be honored. because 1t has been
taken into their confidence and per-
mitted to follow their achievements
step by step. But the scientist must
be content with some memorial away
from the ordinary walks of men. His
namo is carved upon no lofty monu-
ments His splendid sacrifice must be
complete.-Washington Star.

A student of animal habits recently
made some interesting experiments
with music at the Zoo, says Tit-Bits.
A violin player approached sleeping
tiger, and at the sound of the music
the tiger awoke, and, raising its head
without moving its body, looked for
some time with fixed attention ut the
player. 1t remained for u while in n
fine attitude listening to the music,
and then, making II peculiar sound
that in tiger language does duty for
pIrring, 1t lay down again and dozed.
The soft music was played on while
the great beast lay as If lullcd to sleep.
The violin was then put aside for the
piccolo. At the first note of the new
instrument the tiger sprang to Its feet
and rushed up and down the cage,
shaking its head and ears, and lashing
its tail from side 10 side. AS the notes
became still louder and more piercing
the tiger bounded across the cage,
reared on its hind feet and exhibited
the utmost displeasure.
The piccolo was stopped, and Il very
soft air played upon the flute. The
difference in effect was seen at once.
The tiger ceased TO rush about, and
the leaps subsidized to gentle walk,
until the animal came to the bars. and
standing still and quiet once more lis
tened with pleasure to the music.

Potatoes Scarce; Eat Rice and Corn.

Few people seem to be aware of the
fact that the potato is merely bunch

at SO cents bushel sack, potato

Women Come to the Front in Trade.

The prevalence of the woman buyer
is, like many other innovations in the
world of trade. chiefly attributable to
the development and immensely wide
distribution of department stores
These beehives of universal supply are
NJ longer features of the great cities
alone. Every town of any pretensions
throughout the length and breadth of
the country has one department store
or more, and every department is con-
Quoted like separate business. One
establishment of this character in the
West had 81 buyers from its various
branches registered in New York a
week ago. Most of them were women,
and all were conducting their bust

of regard for what the rest were doing

STEEL MAKING IN INDIA.
Industry Did Not Thrive Because Ma

George Hamilton, to the effect that
he expected to soon see the manufac-

Britain has long supplied the people
of her Indian empire with most of the
steel consumed in the latter country.
II Is rather surprising that the indus.
try of manufacturing steel should have
been so long delayed In India. OF
course. the East Indians have been
familiar with its use for a long period
and have produced II in limited quan.

hitherto been introduced, although the
iron ores of the empire are of rare
purity and may be found in abund-

to establish iron works on large
scale. but they have all failed. ow-
Ing to the difficulty Of finding the three
elements of iron working-the ore. the
fiux and the fuel-sufliciently close to-
gether to permit profitable working.
Presumably the extension of railroads
has put a new phase on the problem.
