Owing to the severe thunder and
rain storm there was not as many
people participated In the moon.
light excursion last evening as
there would otherwise have been.
However fully one hundred boarded
the elegant little steamer Ruth,
which had been chartered fer
the occasion by the members of the
Uniform Rank of the Maccabee
lodge of this city.
The boat did not get away from
the wharf here until $50 o'clock,
and but two points were included
In the program outside of this city.
The first stop was at Cochransville
and the second at Matamoras, O.
At each of these places the aumber
on board was swelled considerably
by jolly residents of our neighbor
towns. The steamer went within a
short distance of St. Marys, when
she was headed homeward, reach
ing the city at ago this morning.
Dancing was the principal feature
OF the evenings enjoyment and
nothing occurred to mar the pleas
ure of a single member of the merry
party. Abundance of refreshments
were aboard the steamer, and the
elegant music which was furnished
by Prot. Helms full orchestra, kept
the guests In most happy moo d
through the entire trip.
This was the first outing of the
kind ever given In the city by this
order. and will be repeated In the
near future. Had the weather
proved more favorable early In the
evening, the boat would have been
taxed to its utmost capacity. How.
ever, the storm disappeared In a
few hours. and the atmosphere was
cooled by the rain and was balmy
and braciug, and made the evening
an ideal one after ten o'clock for
an outing on the beautiful Ohio.

specially effective trimming. The
smart May Manton model illustrated
is adapted to many materials, both
silk and wool, but as shown is made of
white satin Sapho with trimming of
Persian bands.
The foundation or fitted lining closes
at the centre back, together with the
material. The waist proper Is tucked
at the back in groups which extend
from the shoulders to the waist and
produce tapering effect. The front
Is novel and gives the square effect
now so fashionable. The tucks at
the centre extend to yoke depth only,
then fall free to form soft folds, but
those at the shoulders are extended
to the waist line, the trimming being
applied between to form the square
neck. The sleeves are in bishop style,
with velvet and Persian banded cuffs,
and at the neck is "a regulation stock
Of velvet over which the trimming is
applied.

medium size, four yards of material
twenty-one inches wide, three yards
twenty-seven inches wide, or four
yards forty-four inches wide will be
required, with two and one-half yards
Of embroidered bapds to trim as IL

A Scientific Treatment For Deafness.

Mr.. Marage has lately communicated
to the Paris Academy Of Sciences a
scientific treatment for deafness which
is substantially as follows:
Q) Measure accurately the auditive
sensitiveness by causing the patient
to listen, at q constant distance, to the
sounds Of siren reproducing the fun
damental vibration Of the vowel
sounds. The intensity of sound being
proportioned to the pressure Of the
air the auditive acuity is-when the
pressure must be millimetres in order
that the sound may be heard. The nor
NAL acuity, unity. is that of the ear
which hears the sound under a pres.
sure of one millimetre.
(2) Make the patient listen to the
sounds of the same siren through a
tube provided with membrane which
transmits all vibrations without intro
ducing or suppressing any of the har-
monies. This is kind of massage Of
the ear made by vibrations which it
is destined normally to perceive. This
treatment is never painful and never
produces buzzings Or increases the
deafness, and has frequently produced
excellent results.

Ali things seemed to be better then.
The earth was not so old nor so worn

time of which I write peace had cast
her mantle over all things, and human
beings lived happily together in pros
perity and contentment.
The men enjoyed such reputation
for bravery and might that their enc
mics had not the courage to attack
them; the women, who were both
good and beautiful, never lacked lovers
and husbands, while, after they were
married, their welded life seemed to
be composed of one continual dream
of bliss. Whatever the season of the
year might be, the people did not
suffer for want of food; the fruits of
the trees that grew around their dwell
ing-places were larger and sweeter,
and, in every way, superior to those
which we now eat and think perfect;

New and Stylish Necklets.

A new and very fashionable style of
bracelet and necklet is composed Of
pearls and enamel "bugles"-to use
the old-fashioned word for those long,
narrow-tube beads, which are again
in evidence. The, bugles are black,
white or colored. Black studded with
white pearls, and with black and
white enamel shamrock pendant, are
charming for mourning. White beads,
with the faintest pink pearls, and little
rose pendant, or green bugles punctu-
ated, as it were, with smoked pearls
and with. ivy-leaf pendants, are one
and AZ extremely pretty. Turquoises
are we'll used with white or gray en-
amel beads and forget-me-not pend
ants, ind any artistic jeweler could
evolve b dozen different and equally
attractive modes Of blending the slen-
der tubes and round pearls.

Child's French Dress.

No style of dress suits the childish
figure more perfectly than the long
WASTED one. The very pretty May
Manton model shown Is adapted to
many materials, but in the original ia
made of pale blue cashmere, with
collar Of blue silk and trimming OF
black velvet ribbon.
The waist portion is laid in box
pleats and is arranged over a body
lining. The skirt also is laid IN bo1
pleats, but wider than those of the
waist, and is joined to the lower edge
of the body portion, the seam being
concealed by the sash. At the neck Is
a becoming pointed collar that flares
apart at both front and back. The
sleeves are short and form full pufs
that are gathered into bands. The
closing is effected invisibly beneath
the centre box pleat at the back.
When desired the frock can be worn
over a guimpe, thus making the high
neck with long sleeves.
To cut this dress for child Of six
years of age, six yards Of material
twenty -one inches wide, four and one.
half yards twenty-seven inches wide.

THE BACHELORS CONFESSION.

''Why don't you marry me-" I am asket
Quite frequently and so.
I feel it is my duty, friends,
That I should let you know
MY reasons, and forever stop
Your oft repeated wall,
Concerning me and why Pm still
Beyond the marriage pale.
IT'S not because l am afraid
/ could not earn enough,
To buy a wife fine dresses and
New bonnets, or such stuff;
Nor do fear I'd have to walk
The floor while baby bawled,
Or that life would be burdensome
When my wife's mother called.
Such things would not jar me bit;
! don't believe it pays
To worry, for by doing so,
You'll quickly end your days;
So I'll tell you in confidence
just why Pm single still:
I can't get any girl to say
Those loving words, II will"

the yoke effect, with round open collar.
The smart May Manton model shows
one Of the very latest styles, and Is
adapted alike to the odd waist, and
the entire costume. AS shown 1t Is
made Of wool crepe de chine, in pastel
pink, with yoke and front of white
Liberty satin, and trimming Of black
velvet ribbon. with tiny jewel buttons,
and is worn with a skirt of the same;
but all wasting silks and wool ma
terials are equally appropriate.
The fitted lining closes at the centre
front; on it are arranged the tucked
yoke and front, which closes at the
left. shoulder, and the portions of the
waist proper. The back is plain across
the shoulders, and drawn down in
gathers>at the waist line, but the fronts
are tucked and open to reveal the full
narrow vest. Finishing the low neck
of the waist is simple round bertha
collar, and at the neck is the regula-
ton stock. The sleeves are in bishop
style, but with the new deep cuffs
that give novel effect.
To cut this waist for a woman Of
medium size, four yards of material
twenty-one inches wide, three yards
twenty-seven inches wide, or two yards
forty-four inches, and two yards OF
black velvet ribbon to trim as Illus
