The blouse has for its foundation a
glovc-fitted lining that closes in the

omitted. and the adjustment made
with shoulder and u1dcrarm seams. If

The countrx,s Pc centrs.

The pie centre of the country is
Brockton. Mass. It claims all kinds
Of records, and from the figures Of
its industry it deserves recognition.
For pie-making and pie-eating, for big
pies and little pies, for thin pies and
thick pies, for light pies and heavy
pies, it Is willing to enter the arena
against any city in the union, barring
none.
Three factories alone turn out 365,
900 pies every year but this is only
small proportion of the city's pie in
dustry. The 10000 inhabitants con.
sumo about 5000 pies daily. or over
100000 each year. If laid in
straight line, edge to edge. they would
make pie bicycle path from Boston
to Chicago. At ten cents each, ana
they are worth more than that, Brock
ton consumes $3.50 worth Of pie per
citizen each year.

height of fashion, who were seated at
a nearby table in a we'll known res

Peculiar Way In Which the Sultan
Treats His Officials.

Said Pasha, the grand vizier Of Tur
key. Is believed to be an honest man.
He is one Of the few prominent OH
cials Of the government who has not
amassed fortune while in Office. For
that and other reasons he has many
bitter and revengeful enemies. Six
years ago. when he was grand vizier,
he endeavored to punish certain in.
fiuential pashas for robbing the gov.
ernment. They engaged in a con
spiracy against him and got the ear OF
the Sultan. He believed their state,
ments and sent the Kapueghasi, chief
Of the white eunuchs and first officer
of the imperial bed chamber-the Sui
tan's most confidential man--to sum.
mon Said Pasha to his presence. The
Kapu-aghasi is always an unwelcome
messenger, because the Sultan trusts
him when he will trust nobody else.
When he carries a message it has un,
usual significance.
Said Pasha understood the situa.
tion, and, instead of going to the pal
ace, sought an asylum at the British
embassy, where Lord Dufferin, then
ambassador, gave him protection. No
body knew what had become of the
grand vizier until after seven days,
when he sent carefully prepared re.
port of his proceedings and the mo-
tive for conspiracy against him to the
Sultan by the hand of the British am.
haaGndnr nh, 11kA,,- -, -.
Sultan his ideas of the case, and
vouched for Said Pasha as an honest,
truthful and loyal man. The Sultan
was not convinced, but agreed to ac.
cept Said Pasha's resignation without
further proceedings, and gave a for
NAL assurance that If his former
Prime Minister left the embassy and
returned to his own home ne would
not be injured. Lord Dufrerin notified
the Sultan that the British govern
ment would hold him responsible for
any injury that Said Pasha might suf
fer, and that in case Of his death not
even a plea Of sickness would be &C
cepted.
From that hour Said Pasha was the
safest man in Turkey. The Sultan
sent his own physician and two of his
most trusted aids-de-camp to live in
his house to protect him. and, adopt
ing Lord Dufferins suggestion. made
an investigation of the charges against
him. Nobody knows how he got at
the facts, but he executed some of his
new favorites, sent others into exile
and finally restored Said Pasha to
power. He is still Prime Minister.

HOW no WALK UPsTAIRs.

If you are a woman and wish to
be altogether charming, don't imagine
that 1t is enough to have pretty face,
q fascinating smile and TO have mas
eered the art of conversation.
1t is also imperative that ysu know
how to walk upstairs
1t Is fallacious to assume that a
graceful woman knows by instinct
how to climb stairs. 1t is little trick
left out Of natures category of charms,
and it has to be acquired with some
care and difficulty. But it pays. And
if you question the necessity for it,
watch carefully the next woman you
see going upstairs and you will be con-
yinced
The woman who has mastered the
art Of going upstairs in truly scien-
tific fashion is the one who, as 10
her gait, may be likened to a Diana
following the hounds. So enthusiastic
is one devotee of this theory that she
says:
"Place me with my rival in the
presence Of a man in whom we are
both interested, and the first thing
/ should do would be to walk upstairs.
This would be the very last thing she
would dare attempt If unframed in
the art"
To mount stairs properly there
should be no waddling from side to
side-none whatever; no trudging, as
though the object we're to push holes
In the steps; no leaning forward and
no apparent WEAKNESS. The body
should remain erect, the step should
be taken with the toe, and the move
ment to the next step made with a
springing mOtiOn-a caress of the
structure, II you will. instead of a
kick. This produces gradual, grace
full poetical elevation. instead of
cumbersome hauling of the body up
ward.-New York World.

pleats that are fatty pressed.
Clusters OF three forward turning
tucks are arranged at the front OF
straight edge OF the side and back
cores, the first tucks being adjusted TO
cover the seams.
The skirt is cut OF around the bottom
and the flounce applied to form its
lower portion. Three tucks at the tor
of the hem form a stylish finish to the

ARTISTIC COMBINATION.

An artistic combination that came
from a modiste's workroOms showed
how three blues and white might be
happily toned into a perfect SYM
phony. A short length Of rough blue
irish frieze was the starting point
from which this construction began.
The frieze was cut in a habit backed
trained walking skirt garnished by
bands of blue French serge. Just
enough frieze was left from cutting
the skirt to give very carefully
shaped cOatee that was decorated with
more Of the serge, and portions of a
half yard Of handsome cream white
melton formed the double collar for a
front made from a bit of cream white
panne sparkling with tiny dark blue
spangles. Just enough of the panne
was found on a remnant counter to
supply a pOunched front, which was
set on a vest lining that buttoned in
.he rear, and though every inch Of the
material had to be purchased at bar
gain the ultimate effect was rich and
elegant to a degree.-Chicago Record.

A PHILIPPINE rIr.sIr.
Minute Fish Made Into Cakes Ter the
Soldiers.

9StIiNiAs A
The sinarapan, a minute fish In
Philippine waters, is like any other
fish in shape and proportion. so far as
the unframed eye can see. On aC-
count Of its phenomenal minuteness
it is almost transparent. It has a
black chin, black line down its cen
ter. behind the anal fin. and a few
black spots on It's back. Many of the
specimens dissected under the micro
scope contained ripe eggs, compar-
able with the merest needle point and
measuring 1900 Of an inch in dlamet-
er. The females are slightly larger
than the males. The former average
a fraction more than half an inch In
length; the males Just a half incn.
The smallest mature specimens are
but two-ffths Of an inch from tip Of
nose to point Of tail
An odd fact in regard to these In
fnitesimal creatures is that they are
priced for human food. Lake Buhi is
a volcanic basin in the shadow OF Mt.
lriga. Here the side of a mountain
seems to have been quite recently
blown ont by volcanic action. Many
varieties Of fishes of every size
abound in the lake but the slnarapau
are by far the most numerous.
The Bicols when fishing for them
use large sheet of close web, which
they dip under the water whenever a
school congregates. They are gath
cred in tightly woven baskets, from
which the water soon drains, leaving
a compact mass of the little creatures.
When the fleets of fishermen bring
them to shore In this condition the ma
tiYes buy them eagerly. They are
seasoned with pepper and other
spices, pressed uncooked into cakes
and dried in the sun. Our soldiers
are reported to have already grown
fond of this strange diet.-Provldeuc

PERIL IN CELLULoID COMB.


A physician says that he sees a
great deal Of advice in the newspapers
IN the care of the hair, but very few
warnings against wearing celluloid
combs. Most shell" combs that are
iOt bona-fde tortoise shell, and there
tore expensive, frail and easily brok-
N, are made of cOlored celluloid. and
,ne may assume that eight women out
Of every ten wears at least one Of these
dangerous things in her hair. The
ioctor In question calls her attention
% the fact that celluloid is so infiam-
mable that IL may at any time ignite,
even at several feet from an open fire,
and that in any case It will do so in
A temperature Of few degrees hot
,er than boiling water. The obvious
deductions Is that If we cannot afford
70 purchase shell combs for our hair
then this highly convenient and use
full ornament should be left severely
alone. On the whole, it is better to
be without celluloid comb than TO
-un the risk Of losing even six square

Senators Rawlins and Kea ms and
Congressman Sutherland need some
point to work from. individually, they
are unable to ascertain the sentiment
OF all sections of the commonwealth.
Resolutions adopted at a meeting sucn
as Governor Wells proposes would be
a guide TO them; they would indicate a
crysrallized sentiment in favor of some
particular line of work. and our repre-

themselves accordingly.
