Things Women should Know.

Fortunately she can be just as dain-
ty, pretty and altogether feminine
while knowing the principles of design
ing, building, plumbing, ventiating,
heating lighting and protecting from
dampness the home, the making of
fires, the disposing of garbage, disin-
fecting of rooms, and general hygienic
and sanitary requirements, as she could
be We're her whole mission in life to
look pretty That a few w1deawake,
practical women have taken stand
against dark houses is evidenced by
the better provisions for good lighting
that may be noted in a large number
of the newly built city houses and
flats. When sucn protests become far
reaching enough to make the renting
of dark houses difficult, then they will
disappear completely and forever

London's Forbidden Gates.

There are two gates in London
which it is an honor equal to the star
of an order to be allowed to drive
through. One is the gate in the arch
of the Horse Guards and the other is
that of the Marble Arch. The Horse
Guards arch is guarded by a stalwart
trooper, who stands in the way of any
carriage that attempts to go through,
and should the occupant not have the
right to pass turns it back. The bish-
op of London. it may be remembered,
was stopped once by sentry, who did
net know that his lordship is one of
the privileged persons. When there
is any disputed claim, if the occupant
of the vehicle who wishes to go
through the arch has patience enough
to wait he can remain until one of the
high court officials has given his de-
cision according to immemorial Gus
tom.-London Telegraph.

The mystery of Mooselookmaguntic's
big salmon has at last been solved.
So says the Lewiston Journal. For
several seasons anglers who have wet
their lines in Bugle Cove have come
back to camp with tackle decidedly
out of kilter. and with blood-stirring
tales of the monster salmon that
rose" beneath certain overhanging
birch.
The salmon took the hook and gave
the anglers the battle of their lives
always breaking loose at the finish,
however, taking with him everything
not tied to the boat. 1t was always
at the same birch where the fish rose,
and the tactics he employed of sulk-
ing with a bulldog tenacity. refusing
to be drawn to the surface. were al
ways the same.
The fame of this remarkable fish
spread throughout the lake region, and
anglers from the other lakes came
down early and often to try their skill
against him. They never failed to To-
cate the salmon. but they never sue
ceeded in landing him. 1t was esti-
mated that hundreds of dollars worth
of tackle. time and bait were wasted
last summer in Bugle Cove.
1t is low water now in Mooselookma-
guntic lake. and the water. although
low, is remarkably clear. Recently the
landlady of one of the hotels in the
region, with her son, ran their boat
on to an unmarked stump in Bugle
Cove, directly beneath an overhanging
birch. And from that stump they
plucked 81 spoon-hooks, spinners and
artificial flies.

Caught II Queer Fish.

A curious fish, which is said to be
unknown in these waters, was captured
by Foreman Henry Wagner at the Co
lumbian Iron works. The fish was
seen swimming in the dock and its pc
culiar motions attracted the attention
of the foreman, who lost no time in
catching it. The fish is about II inches
long and of dark grayish color. The
mouth strongly resembles that of a
shark and on its head is a small bump
which some of the watermen at the
works declare is the bump of knowl-
edge"
On either side of the fish are two
wings, one large and the other small,
which were seen opening and shutting
like fan while the fish was in the
water Below the wings are four legs
on either side, resembling those of a
crawflsh. On the back are large fins,
tapering toward the tail. The fish was
Immediately placed in a glass jar filled
with alcohol, and was attentively eX-
amined by a number of men at the
works, who had followed the water all
their lives, but had never seen any
thing like it.-Baltimore Sun.

Laying gathers is a time honored
operation as irritating and nerve-wear-
ing as 1t is necessary. Since learning
to accomplish the same result in far
easier way, the present writer has
taught the knack to several friends
and all, without exception, are enthu-
siastic. Use a long, strong needle;
that is, a coarser one than you would
ordinarily use for the work in hand
Gather the needle full, keeping the
thimble finger at the eye of the needle,
so that no stitches escape onto the
thread. When you can force on no
more cloth, still holding the thimble in
place, with the thumb and first finger
hold the gathers firmly onto the needle
at the point end. With the left thumb
and first and second fingers, pull the
gathers, two or three at time, straight
down from the needle with a swinging
motion, sliding the fingers under the
material and pulling down with the
thumb, beginning at the left and work
ing toward the right. When the work
is slipped onto the thread, it will be
as fat as if each gather had been pain
fully scratched" into place. The two
processes are practically accomplished
in one, and after a few trials and
with a little patience, you will never
go back to the good old way.'-Good
Housekeeping.

The New Flat Collars.

The fashionable French dressmaker
is trying to force the fiat collar, rea-
sonably arguing that it is the proper
companion of the 1860 sleeve. An ex-
tremely ingratiating model of the new
est Partisan neck decoration is shown
in stitched taffeta over which a fiat
circlet of ribbon threaded lace is laid.
For such collar many looped knot
Of ribbons or quaint cameo brooch
is the proper finish.
Quite the nearest approach to the
ilat collar we have reached on this
side is a graceful rolling lace neck
band, which does not rise very high
under ears and chin, and is shaped in
front in two long points finished with
tassels of white silk floss falling from
little balls of gilt. This and the afore-
mentioned type of collar are destined
to play a prominent part in the COM
pletion of the foulards and sweet sum-
mer cloths already making springtime
in the show windows.
Our American spring and summer
and the pretty round throats Of our
women are persuasive agents in the
popularization of the low and easy
neck finish. For the present, however,
high and ornamental stocks and scarfs
have the field to themselves. Only
the extremely fashionable women who
aaunt their new plumage well in ad-
vance of every season are swathing
their throats in stitched chokers of
white satin with wing backs of a con-
trasting shade of panne. All the mar
row string ties of satin clasping the
base of the choker in front display
jeweled ferrets on their ends. Such
modish little stock in white, mouse
gray, gilt and sapphire blue is illus
trated in the group along with pow
erful rival in black and peach pink
satin. The black satin top shows a
delicate vermiceni pattern of gold
thread and the lower tightly drawn
pink satin half is drawn about the
stock twice, fastened with smart little
gilt pins in front, and, after tying
in a four-inhand bow, let's fall two
broad ends, fringed and embroidered in
gift.-Washington Star.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Good morals make the best manners.
Deeds are the only measures of our
days.
A man must be greater than his
work.
1t is easy to recover from another
mans adversely.
Greatness is not in being lifted up
but in growing up.
You cannot do right unless you are
willing to suffer wrong.
There is no fertilizer that will make
oranges grow on chokecherry trees.
They who live on public opinion will
probably die of popular opprobrium.
He who is crowned by his conscience
cares not if he is condemned by the
crowd.
1t is often impossible to both ap-
pease the conscience and to please
the crowd.
The man who places the highest
things first will be the first to get the
highest place.
The spendthrift who is always
spending upon himself is as selfish
and mean as the miser
Every man bears his own burden but
not every one has the blessing of bear
ing anothers.- Horn.

Silk flannel is 4 pretty material for
shirtwaists.
Braid will be used on many Of the
new spring gowns.
Corduroy jackets worn with cloth
skirts are very stylish, especially the
black or brown corduroy.
The new silk gingham waists made
with vest, tie and broad sailor collar of
solid color look well and other cot
ton materials are made up with vest
and revers of white pique.
A fiat tulle hat in delicate ecru is
trimmed in front with single big
pink poppy. A pink tulle has creamy
yellow rose for its sole adornment, and
black one is decorated with an i'm
possible but lovely blue rose.
The latest Partisan fancy is a black
stock of mousseline de sole, decorated
with slanting lines of Roman pearl
and fastened at the left side in fluffy
butterfly bow. This is worn with even
ing dress, and is regarded as tremen-
dously chic.
Panne cloth is a lovely material for
shirtwaists to be worn at this season.
1t comes in all shades, and has a sheen
like that of panne velvet, but with the
warmth of flannel. Big gold buttons
are generally used on shirtwaists
made of panne cloth.
Gold tags for finishing neck ribbons
or streamers increase in popularity.
The spikes are varied in style and
many new shapes are shown in flat
tags. Some are pointed, others square,
and a few nave decorations of colored
beads or bits of enamel
Some short petticoats are made with
a single front breadth of ordinary
width and four narrow cores on either
side, each finished with point at the
lower edge. The handkerchief ruffles
are to be seen on the long skirts, which
are mass of rufiies upon ruffles.

A HUMAN FOREST.
How Indian %ribesmen Succeed in Es-
Gaping the Police.

How Indian "ribesmen Succeed in Es-
Gaping the Police.
Some of the Indian tribes over which
we rule give us a great deal of trouble
notably the Mahsuds, though it is
pleasing to learn from recent Bonn
bay telegram that they are at last be-
ing brought to something like order,
and are paying the fine lately imposed
upon them, as we'll as agreeing to
cease their raids.
The Mahsuds, however, are not by
any means the worst of the Indian
robber tribes, that unenviable distinc
tion probably falling to the Bhils, who
are the cleverest scoundrels in the
world, both in their methods of ac-
quiring other peoples property and
in evading pursuit.
They are very proud of their skill
In pilfering, and openly boast of it.
One of them once told a British Off
Ger that he could steal the blanket
from under him, and was promptly
challenged to show his ability. That
night, when the officer was fast asleep
the Bhil robber cut hole in his tent
crept noiselessly in and gently tickled
the hands and feet of the sleeping man.
The officer stirred uneasily and turned
over In this way the Bhil was able
to pull the blanket out little way By
repeating this performance he finally
succeeded in 'coaXing the blanket
completely from under the sleeper
When engaged in his nefarious little
games the Bhil wears hardly any cloth
ing, and his 1.-THE body is rubbed with
oil, to facilitate escape from any would
be captors When hotly pursued by
the British troops the robbers make
use of a very clever device. They con-
ceal their scant clothing under their
small round shields and scatter theTa
about to resemble stones or boulders.
Then picking up few twigs-if there
are any to be had-they assume all
sorts of grotesQue attitudes, their al
most fleshless limbs silhouetted against
the dark night sky closely resembling
the charred limbs of a tree. Abso-
lutely motionless they hold their posi-
tions till the enemy has passed them.
In this way British subaltern, in
charge of party sent to capture some
Bills, was considerably startled one
evening. The pursuit had completely
lost sight of the robbers, and finally
the party drew rein by clump of
gnarled and bent tree trunks, tired and
hot from their hard exertions. The
officer in charge took off his hat and
placed it on the end of broken limb,
when instantly there was wild scream
of laughter and the trees trunks sud
denly came to life and vanished in the
darkness.-London Express.

A Cure for Tired Nerves.

A lady's fingers are much cleverer
than the hired mans to prick out deli
cate seedlings, to bud roses or graft
trees, and skilful to practise all the
delicate arts of propagating plants.
1t is surprisingly easy to raise large
stock of perennials and shrubs, to pro-
duce rose bushes, to multiply anything
of which the smallest scrap or seed
can be procured. Work of this kind
has a specially soothing charm for
tired nerves and equals the most per-
feet rest cure. 1t will not injure the
finest lady to prepare potting compost,
to hoe or rake among her plants, to
spread among them the beneficial
mulch by which the hired man would
probably kill many of them when
roughly shovelling it against the
stems. Only lady knows how to tend
the young rose shoots and eXter-
inmate the marauding grub or green
fly. Some very great ladies in Eng
land will not trust gardener among
their flowers or even to train fruit
trees or nail up climbing roses.-Anna
Lea Merritt, in New Lippincott.

the arms either straight down by tho
body or in any comfortable position,
provided they are not raised above the
head; the mouth should be closed, and
all the muscles of the body should be
relaxed.
The lungs work with greater delib-
Grafton during the hours of sleep, and
If the arms are raised above the head
at this time and for any period the ac-
tion of the heart drives the blood away
head, frequently making one very rest
less when it does not prevent sleep
entirely.
AS all food enters the stomach at
the left side. passing out at the right,
the necessity for lying on the right
side when sleeping is obvious.
Again, the heart is on the left side of
the body and during sleep it should
be as free from pressure as during the
waking hours; this is best obtained
by reclining on the right side.
Do not sleep fiat on your back; sleep
ing in this posture causes the muscles
of the throat to relax and the jaw to
drop. In this position one not only
snores but also invites the coming of
wrinkles, and as the neck shows age
quite as soor as the face this posture
should be faithfully guarded against

New Belts for Spring.

The new leather belts are almost
universally Of round form, and make
no concession to the advocates of the
dip" front The prettiest have rows
of stitching that cause the outer sur
face of the belt to be slightly CORFU
gated. Leather and velvet are also
combined the latter laid in single
band in the centre of the wider leather
belt, and stitched on both edges. Two
or three rows of narrow velvet are
banded in similar manner on belts that
measure one and half inches wide.
Frequently the ends of the velvet rib
bon are continued to varying lengths
beyond the end of the belt, and are
tipped with long gilt Spikes" The
most novel of such belts are finished
with gilt drop or spike.
Whether few or many of these
strands are shown, their length is
from Is to 20 inches. The same idea
of drop trimming, but carried out in
ribbon, is also applied to stock collars,
that are finished with full rosettes,
and from five to seven pendent strands.
THESE pretty ornaments are known as
L'Aiglon, and though prominent feat
ure of the shops for a month or more,
their possibilities are still being devel-
oped with view to combining the ro-
settes or pompons with the light wool
spring gowns.-Harper's Bazaar.
