Fishing from n Caboose.

crews have in vain discharged revolv-
ers and shotguns at it from the ca
boose.
The other day Conductor Orce had
big hook made. This he baited with
chicken and attached a piece of bell
cord to 1t. When the train was DASH
ing down the heavy grade toward De-
posit, the conductor hung the baited
hook and line off the rear of the
caboose. When rounding a sharp curve
the wildcat suddenly sprang from a
pile OF railroad ties and seized the
chicken. Orce gave a hard, quick pull,

struggling cat was hauled upon the

Bother over Coronation Robes.

Queen Alexandra insists that the
grace and beauty of her coronation
robes shall not be sacrificed to historic
precedent or to the College OF Heralds.
She has no mind to walk to her throne
In Westminster Abbey looking like a
picture out of the middle ages. Her
robes will have a modern style so far
as is possible.
The selection of robes for such his
toric ceremony involves countless con
siderations of detail. which do not en-
ter into the choosing of dress for
state ceremonials in general.
The Queen has her trials her
boudoir at Marlborough house has had
on occasions the appearance OF a
school of design and modiste's estab-
lishment combined. Shall 1t be silk or
shall 1t be velvet? Is it to be embroid-
cred with gold or studded with gems?
Shall the heraldic devices be put here
or shall they be put there? are ques-
tions which the Queen and her ladies
are even yet discussing.
The Queen will not walk under a
canopy, that ancient custom being
omitted from the coming ceremony
but the precedent Of having her train
carried by her three daughters may be
followed, and would certainly give dis
tinction to the procession and prevent
rivalry among the peeresses.

new on her coronation day. down to

Dressing on u Small Allowance.

II is difficult to dress well on a small
allowance. and there is terrible
temptation to fritter away ones mon
ey in the passing fads of the hour
These fallahs, which look so attractive
when seen through glass window,
usurp much of girls allowance and
consequently debar her from buying
a really good frock, which is. after
all. the truest economy. II Is a mis-.
take, also for young girl to ape her
well-to.do married acquaintances by
having their extravagant garments
copied in imitation.
Laces you may indulge in to advan
tage, for excellent patterns are OBJ
tainable nowadays at quite moderate
prices.
Avoid buying odd remnants here ami
there unless. indeed. you buy with a
purpose. Do not imagine that queer
bits Of color anl artificial flowers will
smarter a last seasons frock. On the
contrary. they will ruin 1t.
The dress of today is extremely per
picking, and the woman who wishes
70 pass as being even moderately well
dressed must give much care to the
spending of her money. Every detail
must be closely studied. Those who
have not the means to patronize the
superior work of the great artists in
dress must think for themselves

How MnrconI TUNES.

varies, according to different condi.
tions of capacity and self-induction,
from 100000 to 100000 per second.
The capacity and self-induction and
the receiving circuit are therefore
carefully adjusted to those of the

BY this means Marconi has been
enabled to connect two differently

ears, is blocked out by the razor at
unequal lengths. 1t Is much longer,
n full quarter of an inch longer, be-
fore your left ear than before your

me that you shave yourself, and the
longer hair on the left side shows you
to be right-handed. For you have,
you see, a better, freer reach with the
