Miroir velvet is much used for hand
some evening gowns.
The seasons designs in negligee are
noticeable for their elegance and elab-
grafton.
Green is favorite color for coats
for little girls, particularly in velvet.
An ecru lace collar, beaver fur or el.-
mine forms the trimming.
Velvet ribbons are now seen with
velvet on both sides. The centre is in
solid color with striped edges conbin-
ing the centre color and white.
The most fashionable hat for small
girls is big fiat silky haired beaver,
trimmed with feather pompons and i'm
mense bows with long streamers.
Hand-knit woolen jackets to wear
for extra warmth under outside wraps
are more loosely woven than the ma
chine-made garments, cling to the
figure, and are not bulky.
Low dressing for the hair has made
possible horseshoe shaped combs. The
comb proper goes down into the coil of
halr, ana drooplng from 1t on e1thet
side are the ends of the shoe which
encircle 1t.
The modish hat pin is topped with a
pear-shaped pearl or round topaz or
amethyst framed in gun metal. Crys-
tai beads with setting of gun metal
are used for some of the long chains,
for which there is a decided liking
just now.
The high novelty in belts is waist
band formed of thin white leather
laid in folds. Some are SO high as to
be almost a corselet, others are about
three inches wide. The buckles are
high and narrow, and sometimes are
both in front and at the middle of the
back.

THE REMINISCENT MAN.

What would we do for things to read
about our public men! :,
How could we learn their boyhood traits
and how they acted then?
How could we know their whims and
fads and other little things
About them, were it not for what GER
tain person brings!
All hail the chap who fills that gap in wise
Dame Natures plan,
The one who's always in our view - the
Reminiscent Man.
He tells us of our Presidents, and what
they did and said
Or what they didn't do or say, as we have
often read;
He cites remarks of heroes bold, long ere
they burst to fame,
Which plainly show they were designed to
bear an honored name;
He knows the pages of the past-no other
person can
Dig up as many facts as does the Remin-
iscent Man.
Old Inhabitant,
And he can tell when Colonel Bluff went
out and laid ha'nt;
And then, again, he is the man who bat
tied side by side
With Major Blood, and now he tells about
it with much pride;
Or else he had jury seat when Lawyer
Chugg was young
All this the Reminiscent Man has ever
on his tongue.
Perchance he used to fish along with Mr..
Officeseek,
And when that mans candidate he tells
it by the week;
He holds the wise reporter up and fills him
full of tales
The news may stop, but, after all, the R.
M. never fails,
Somebody ought to write book about
the talky clan
The bunch of people who make up The
Reminiscent Man.

The Secret of Good Tea.

Few housekeepers remember, as
they should, that when it is necessary
to dilute strong tea 1t should be done
with water at the boiling point. The
poor flavor of tea. made strong at first
and then reduced, such as is too often
served at receptions and ''at homes"
is usually caused by the addition Of
hot, not boiling. water to the first infu-
zion. A lesson in this matter may be
had from the Russians, who serve the
most delicious tea in the world, and
who prepare 1t first very strong, max
ing it almost an essence of tea. This
is diluted to the strength wished, with
water kept boiling in the samovar.
This water is not allowed to boil and
reboil, but is renewed as needed.
Freshly boiled water is insisted upon
by all connoisseurs in teamaking.

WISE WORDS.
Fearing leads to fretting.
Tall trees need deem roots.

Fearing leads to fretting.
Tall trees need deep roots.
Tiny hands make mighty links.
Uniformity is not essential to unity.
The needless life will not be weed
less.
Fretfulness is the cause CT fearful
ness.
Diversities in truth are not divergen-
cies.
Conduct shows the content Of char
acter.
Every act has a cause and is a
cause.
Sincerity is the one great secret Of
success.
Better be a poor man than rich
machine.
1t takes great man to escape unde-
served glory.
The most needy man is always my
nearest neighbor.
No duty is too small to embrace the
sublimest principles.
The true furniture of life is made in
the factory OF drudgery.
It is the touch of selfshness in our
ambitions that turns them to sin
If you cannot have what you prize
1t is a good thing to prize what you
have.-Ram's Horn.

Courtesies of Life.

The Toronto Sun comments on the
allegation that people are losing their
democratic dignity. An instance is
cited of certain ladies of the smart set
at Vancouver entering the royal ship
and carrying off as souvenirs anything
they could lay their hands on, and
even clipping tie trimmings of the
royal bed room with scissors.
Such an offense is virtually theft,
and too gross Il form of misdemeanor
to be termed an ipdignity. The in
stance, however, causes us 10 ask,
"Are we losing whatever consdera-
ton and regard for others that we ever
hadT 1t should not be forgotten, rs
il too often is, that life is made pleas
ant, not by great things, but by the
little acts of kindness. \ timely word
of encouragement or comfort, pleas
ant smile, in fact, n thousand little
considerations for the comfort of 9TH
ers, which cost the bestower nothing,

only this, but they return to the foun-
tains to enrich the nature by which
they are so benignly prompted,-Lo

The blending of soft colors is more
beautiful than ever in the printed
crepes and silks and handsome bro
cades. EXacting tastes will be
charmed with new soft silk in old
ivory and pale green with trailing
rose design. Wild clematls over a
delicate green surface marks another
sample. There are silks of high lustre,
deepening from faint cream to rich
yellow, that bear daintiest pompadour
designs.
Rich velvets, in plain, corded and
fancy effects, swell the list Of fashion
able winter fabrics and are used not
only for separate, fancy waists, but
entire costumes. A black velvet with
tiny white specks at close intervals
over it is attractive for q dressy street
gown, while a hunters green or royal
blue with white dots is equally appro-
pirate and stylish. Black and white
striped velvets with the stripe in grad
uated widths suggests modish skirts
to be worn with fancy waists for semi
formal occasions.-The Delineator.

Chemical Combinations in the Soil.

Chemical combinations are ever oc-
curing in the SOIL This fact is sup
ported by experiment and observation.
There is a loss of nitrogen by chemi-
cal reaction, and also gain from
other combinations. Every manure
heap suffers loss Of volatile ammonia
that might be saved by the use of
substances for absorbing it, or it may
be changed to other forms. AS water
absorbs ammonia it serves to prevent
loss under many conditions.

Using the Old Strawberry Bed.

An excellent location for q garden
next year is an old strawberry patch
plowed under. Strawberry beds are
usually well manured, and the leaves
shade the soil in summer; hence there
Is more or less increase in humus.
The bed should be plowed under very
early iii the spring and the plot well
covered with fine stable manure,

Tho Hunting Woman.

The modern Englishwoman is among

riders to hounds. She comes to the

tainly if she finds it more comfortable
"a covert coat, long boots, and habit
cut short to the ankles-a mere apron
of thing which does not pretend to
conceal her breeches, and is, on foot
the ugliest and most indecent dress
ever worn by woman, but is accepted
as matter of course because of its
practical utility. By curious contra
diction, however, the same woman who
walks about the stable yard among the
grooms in her habit without shame
would not be seen in the equally use
full and much more graceful knicker-
booker costume worn for the bicycle
by women everywhere in France.
The hunting woman would not sac
rifice her days sport for any other
pleasure ON earth. But it means more
than the chase to her; 1t means glow
ing downs, radiant with color, the
beauty and sweetness OF earth, the
balsamic perfume of pure air. and
J'aalth and strength. After hours in
the saddle she will return to the hall,
and bathe and dress and dine and
dance till midnight; and then be up
again, keen as the north wind for
more exercise, and fresh as the new

Warned Against Marrying Germans.
William e. Curtis declares in the

many American girls who have mar

many are American wives of native
husbands. 1t all depends upon the
man. Germans seem to prefer Amer
lean wives when they can get them.
Attractive American girls who go to
Germany to spend the winter, to study
languages, music or art, or for other
reasons, are sure to have offers of
marriage particularly if they have
money, usually from the dashing
young army officers who make up so
large and so important part of soci-
ety in the German cities.
But every American girl who is
subjected to this temptation should
understand that the servants of a
household have more legal protection

at this school the young men have

came necessary to enlarge the college.
The Huntington property, just east of
the old college, was purchased, and the
mouse which stood on the land was re-
moved to Ashley street and was used
by the senior class and members of the
faculty. The new seminary, now one

was completed during the past year.

Superintendent Tinker and His Corps
of Assistants Ready for Business.
Everything is in readiness for the
re-opening OF the public schools for the
fall term on next Tuesday. All the
school buildings are in good shape,
needed repairs having been made dur
ing the vacation. Two new schools
will be opened the Walsh and Russell
schools. The Russell school will re-
place the old West Side Hill school,
while the old Locust street school will
be closed on account of the opening OF
the Russell school. The training school
has been transferred from the Bishop
to the Walsh school, and the attend
ance at the former school will no doubt
be considerably affected by the opening
| of st Thomas's parochial school The
school in South Brooklyn has been
closed and the pupils in the lower
grades in that section will attend the
Porter street school. while the pupils
in the higher grades will attend the
Bank street school.
Superintendent Tinker stated to a
Democrat reporter, in reply to a ques-
ton whether or not the rule in regard
to yaceiation would be enforced, thai
he had no option in the matter. The
rule was there and it must be enforced.
! 1t reads as follows: s'No pupils shall
be admitted to. or persons employed
in the schools of the city, unless they
present satisfactory evidence that they
have been successfully vaccinated with
| in the five years previous to the time
of such admission or employment, or
bring a certificate from a physician
that the health of the person renders
| vaccination inexpedient.o Successful
vaccinationis thus defined by the board
of education: Successful vaccination IS
vaccination by external incubation
The enforcement of the law in regard
to vaccination will no doubt meet with
much opposition from characterization
lists and from people who believe in
vaccination by the homeopathic treat
ment The opposition has already or
ganized in the form Of an anti-vaccina-
ton society. which was formed last
night with DR. Mum as leader, 1t is
known fact that many parents kept
their children away from school during
the last term rather than have them
vaccinated. The number of those chill
dren was by no means small. No doubt
there will be some parents who may
keep their children home during the
present school term. If they do the
probability is that warrants will be, Is
stIed for their arrest. and the courts
will be given an opportunity to decide
what is the power Of the board OF edu-
cation in the matter.
The private schools viii also omen
Tuesday morning, many of them with
| increased facilities in the matter of
school rooms and additional teachers.
The four parocbial schools. st Mary $,
ST Patrick's, st AIMS and st Thomas's,
relieve the city of large outlay in
tbuildings and tuition. Three new
rooms will be open in the Mulcahy
memorial .on Cole street. and the new
narochial school recently erected in st
Thomas's parish will go good way to-
wards relieving the contested condi-
tions of fine nnblic schools in that sec
ton of the city.

DO STARS EXPLODE2

The appearance of a new star in the
constellation, Perseus, and it's rapid
expansion into a neubla, which has
been going on for some time past,
have revived among astronomers the
theory that some nebulae may be
formed by explosion. About 1870,
Professor Bickerton of Canterbury
college, new Zealand, showed that. if
two stars should Craze one another,
the abraded parts, If sraaIl would
have so high a temperature that they
would at once become nebulous. and
that the nebu1a SO formed would I'M
der certain conditions, continue to ex-
pand until dissipated in space. The
present expanding nebula has been
at the extraordinary rate of several
miles a second, and is, in many WAYS.
