Now NotIons In Colorinr.

We borrow our ideas from all sources
as far as dress is concerned, but the
last notion is to try and adapt to
women's clothes the hue of the butter
flies wings. 1t is quite true we can
not improve on Dame Nature, but it
is nightly difficult to intercept her,
and when you compare the colors we
produce with those you see in nature
the process is very certainly dlsheart-
ening.
A blueish black which figures in some
Of the butterflies wings we may util-
ize, but we can hardly hope to vie
with nature in some of the hues which
combine seventy tlnts in one, viz,
brown shot with gold and blue, with
reds and peacOcks' blues. The fawn
color in the butterhy's wing and the
lichen greens we have never touched
even. When you come to examine the
beautiful butterflies in the tropics
which appear to change in every light
you test the impossibility of It. There
is a green and gold butterfly in Jamai-
ca, intermixed with plum color, which
would make fortune to anybody who
could reproduce it, or the olive green
and deep yellow of a Chinese moth.

Pendant Trimmings.

There is a brisk demand for dress
garnitures which have dropping OF
pendant applications of passementerie
worsted, silk or even jet. No fiat mol
stationary trimming has the chic OF
these soft, surging confections. YoC
may have spent laborious hours pin
ming on little tassels TO be stitched
down to your jacket front, and now.
10 and behold you find you can buy
narrow or broad silk and braided trim
mings with the delectable tassels prop.
erly spaced at intervals upon it in
groups Of two, which is the height Of
the style.
Another choice garniture is a mohaii
braid enhanced by groups of croch'
eted balls which swing from twisted
stems and dangle for couple Of
inches like black cherries. These,
again, belong to the festoon trim
mings.
A third variety is made Of two Of
perhaps three braids arranged in par,
allel rows, and studded here and there
with round bullet buttons. A croch.
eted line fine but strong, is now laced
about over and under the buttons,
which occur irregularly on the different
lengths Of braid. Small dropping balls
are also introduced on these varied
braids, which produce an openwork
cobweb effect very pleasing to the
eve.

The Value of Correct Breathing.

Nothing is more essential to the pro-
per assimilation and digestion Of food,
and, consequently, to keeping the blood
in good condition, than right breath
ing. The oxygen of the air is the great
vitalizer and purifier of the blood and
the renewer and upbuilder of the hui
man system. If pale, hollow-cheeked
anaemics, narrow-chested, predisposed
consumptives, and fretful, irritable
dyspeptics would only realize this,
and fill their half-starved, unde'
veloped lungs with natures own
unfailing tonic, what a change would
be wrought in their lives Not only
physical, but also mental vigor, as well
as cheerfulness and will power, are
dependent, to a great extent, on the
amount Of oxygen we absorb, so we
can readily see Of what prime impor
tance in the economy OF nature Is the
habit of correct breathing. Success,

A subterranenn KeptIIe.

Men engaged in drilling an oil well
east of Marion, Ind, brought to the
surface a peculiar reptile. 1t was
found at depth of 240 feet. The rep,
tile belongs to the lizard family, al,
though different from any species ever
before seen here. 1t has four legs.
web feet, a short, thick tail and spot
ted body, resembling in many ways a
house snake or chameleon, and is ten
inches long. Its body is elongated and
without the scales that usually appear
on lizards. 1t has no eyelids and its
eyes are unprotected. 1t has no teeth
and its tongue is forked. In the day
time 1t is totally blind. The animal
prefers water to land and this has
caused the opinion that underneath the
surface Of the land where the well
was drilling exists a subterranean
waterway. .-Indianapolis News. 4..-----4

Black Afternoon Dress.

A very pretty afternoon dress con-
slsts of black velvet skirt with tiny
white polka dots. 1t Is cut with a very
wide flare at the bottom and is one of
the extremely long skirts of the season.
The waist is of silver gray plaid silk
and blouses over a vest composed of
ecru net and narrow lace. This vest
has a pointed yoke effect in lace and
velvet. Double revers almost entirely
covered with ribbon velvet Of different
widths taper into a narrow turnover
collar. The stock is Of lace with o
long jabot effect trimmed with tiny
velvet bows The sleeves are of silk to

Leather Usod in Decorative Schemes.

Rich Spanish and English feathers af-
ter those found on antique pieces of
furniture are used in the richest and

effect in leather was reproduction of
an old bedroom in an old yellow, illu-
minated with dull gold and bronze. 1t

bronze head tacks. 1t was finished
with a frieze in a rather more brilliant
tone. Old walnut furniture uphols.

handsome. It's walls were done in an

covered in an embossed leather to
match. The very massive table was
completely covered with the leather.

A putoh stool ouIte Proper.

The ubiquitous tabouret is no longer
seen in the fashionable home. 1t has
been relegated to obscurity along with
the tea table, not being consistent with
an Arts and Crafts or Colonial interior.
The proper thing now is a Dutch stool
instead of the tabouret and to have a

To seek some alien star above,

A grief no balm can e'er alhy,
A woe that none may see or share?
Since you have vanished, say, oh say,

Since laughter died upon my lips,
And [ became too sad to pray,
For all my stars went in eclipse,
And hopes aurora paled to gray

every honor bestowed upon him, Edward
w. Pou.
Here Mr.. Bum spoke of the magnifi-
cent career of Mr.. Pou in Congress,
where he had won high renown and
where he had shown himself worthy of
every hig position of trust reposed in
i'm. He referred to his splendid speech
on the Philippines and to his speech on
election frauds in the North, which the
Washington Post said did more to de-
feat the Crumpacker bill than any other.
He referred to his denunciation by the
New York Sun, rabid Republican sheet,
as only endearing him to the South.
He concluded by speaking of Mr. Pou
as a true son of the State, not old enough
to have been a Confederate soldier but
of family who did service then. He
prophesied his triumphant election and
said that if the next House was Demo-
cratic he would come back to the people
of the State as the head of a great COM
mittee. His last words were that in
honoring Mr.. Pou the district was honor
ing itself.
On behalf of Johnston the nomination
was most ably seconded by Mr.. Ashley
Horne, who spoke of the life of Mr.. Pou,
the love Of Johnston county for him and
the splendid position he had taken in the
councils of the nation. Handsome, gall

In the midst of all this men may well
ask the question whether national cen
science is dead and whether, in govern
mental affairs, simple principles of right
and wrong longer obtain.
But, fellow citizens, the lines arc
drawn, the issues are made up. Defeat
will not weaken our allegiance to lTin-
ciples we believe to be right. When the
Civil War ended it was said the Demo
cratic party was dead, but in less than
ten years we had a majority in tho
House of Representatives and in little
over ten years we elected our President.
In 1880 again they said our party was
dead. but in 1884 we elected our Presi-
dent. In 1888 we were surely dead, but
in 1890 we carried the House of Repre-
sentatives and in 1892 elected a Presi-
dent. In 1896 we were certainly dead,
but in 1898 we came so near carrying the
House of Representatives that Republi-
cans were forced to steal t"W seats to
make up a working majority in that
body.
In 1900 they swore we were dead, but
today we behold our adversaries hope
