Pretty Ihinas to Wear.

Silk underslips of taffeta and India
silk to wear with thin gowns and all
the transparent materials are made
with deep godet fiounces, having
little fulness at the edge. This gives
fulness around the bottom of the skirt,
which is needed under gowns of light
texture. The Innings to wear under
the bodices are made with fulness at
the waist line in both front and back.
These slips may be of any color, and
are really the most economical way OF
making a summer gown answer many
purposes, as it may be worn with diff
ferent colored slips on as many oc-
casions; but the sash, belt, bows or
stock must correspond in color with
that of the slip.
For early fall wear the covert coat,
in short box styles, will be a leader.
For overcoats there is a demand for
the long, loose Chesterfield in friezes,
kerseys and meltons. The smi-ulster,
belted effects in rough cheviots. Scotch
plaids and mixed materials make a
close second.

Cheap and Good Tooth Powder.

In more ways than one womankind
may practice economy in the toilet
and here is a bit of fact concerning
tooth powder. Practically all the tooth
powders of commerce have the same
Disappeared chalk. This is mixed
with some saponaceous compound
Favored a little, put up in an attrac-
tive bottle or jar. and behold tooth
powder costing from 10 to so cents
per vessel, according to the place you
buy it and the celebrity of the name
on the label. For Is cents enough
tooth powder to last a family a year
can be put together. Buy the chalk
in bulk and with it some ground cas-
tile soap, which all druggists sell Put
them together in the proportion of
one-eighth soap to seven-eighths chalk.
Mix well and fill any and all the emp
ty tooth-powder jars or bottles that
you may have around. If f1avoring is
liked it is easy to add little winter
green or peppermint.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

The marriage race is not always to
the fast.
A loose tongue never told any girl
the way to the altar.
There are pawnshops for honor, too,
though nobody ever gets much on it.
Good cooking is good enough char
ity for most men when it begins at
home.
Some women measure out affection
just the way they do milk and eggs
for a custard.
Nobody who has anything the mat
ter with his lungs has any chance in
an after-dinner argument.
Some women are such good finan-
ciers that they can afford to wear bet
ter stockings in swimming than at any
other time.
It's the clean woman who knows
that with the men the thing that
counts is not what they see. but what
they can't see.
The more woman can become en-
gagged without getting married, the
more she would be willing to get mar
ried without becoming engaged.
A woman never knows how much
she loves a man until she loses him;
and a man never knows how much he
doesn't love woman till he gets her.

OUR POPULATION IN 1910

An interview with Census Commits
sioner Merriam in which he predicted
100,000,000 as the total population of
the United States in 1910 has been
commented upon in some quarters as
exrravagant and as probably wide of
the mark.
The official count of two years ago
gave the population at that time as
6,303,300, and it showed that these
have been the percentages of increase
between censuses since 1870, not TAX
ing into account Alaska, Hawaii, In
dian Territory or the Indian reserva-
tions: From 1870 to 1880, 80 per cent;
from 1880 to 1890, "a per cent; from
1890 to 1900, 20 per cent.
1t is a well established rule in the
computation of population that as the
number of inhabitants increases, the
percentage of gain declines, and should
the population of the states and terri
tories of the United States increase in
the present decade in no greater ratio
than Is per cent, which is abnormally
small and below the record of any pre-
vious decade in the country's history,
there would be a gain of 10,250, 900 in
population, which, with the addition
of 100000 for Alaska Hawaii and In

Things to Wear.
An Appetizina Dish.

Tomatoes, because of their pleasant
acidity, are suited to great variety of
combinations. An appetiizng break
fast dish is prepared with eggs and
the vegetables. Wash as many round,
apple shaped tomatoes as there are
persons to be served. Cut a thin slice
from the top of each for a cover and
scoop out sufficient space to admit
the egg. Put in each little butter,
drop in the unbroken white and yolk
salt and pepper, place a dot of butter
on the top of the egg. replace the
cover and bake for about twenty min
utes, or until the tomato is tender.
Grated cheese may be sprinkled over
the egg before the cover is put on.
Thre is no end of delicious stuffings
for tomatoes. They may be filled with
rice seasoned with salt, pepper and
butter, and a dash of curry or pap
rika if it is wanted with a forcemeat
made of chopped meat favored with
onion juice and parsley or with bread
crumbs mixed with the tomato pulp
and seasoned to taste They will need
to bake in a moderate oven about
twenty minutes.

SEQUENCE OF -CALAMITIES

features as to make it seem as though
the second had been carefully pre-
pared on the details and after the
plan of the first. All fire departments
understand that a great conflagration
is usually followed by a second and
often by third within a few days;
insurance men have noticed that a
fire occurring in a building devoted
to an unusual occupation is also fol-
lowed at a short interval by a second
fire in a similar line, and that the
rule also applies to buildings devoted
to a particular, often common, kind of
business. For a month or two it
sometimes seems to the insurance
men that all the hat stores in the
country are devoted to destruction ;
then for a long time the hat stores
will have immunity, while the shoe
stores, dry-goods stores and groceries
are burning. The principle even ap-
plies to smaller accidents and mis-
fortunes.
A surgeon in a large manufacture
ing plant bears testimony to the queer
feet that whenever a mechanic comes
in with an injured thumb, necessitat-
ing amputation, another accident of
identical character will occur within
three days. No explanation is fur.
nished, perhaps in our present state
of knowledge no explanation is pos
sible, but the fact that one accident
follows another without visible con
nection is too well known &c be
doubted.

SF1ADOWING A TEEEER

Il have had all sorts of experiences"
said Pinkerton detective whom l met
at luncheon in a Broadway restaurant
Friday noon. but last night l had an
entirely new one. Two days ago the
president of Wall street banking
house sent for me and said that he
feared there was something wrong

to be laboring under some excitement,
and who showed signs of late hours
and dissipation. was asked to shadow
him and to look out for evidence of ir-
regularities.
1t was then noon and | started at
once by following my man to a cheap
restaurant in Ann street. | supposed
that he was going to his luncheon, but
he went into telephone booth and
closed the door. 1t was impossible for
me to hear with whom he was talking,
so l went to the proprietor of the place
and made some inquiries, and learned
that my man telephoned every day at
that time and seldom bought more
than a sandwich.
That day he paid the telephone toll
but bought nothing. AS l followed
him into the street 1 made up my mind
that he was in communication with a
stock broker, and that financial trouble
in Wall street was the cause of his
strange actions. That was nothing new
in my experience.

MisfortuneS never come singly," is
proverb well known in every Ian
guage and devoutly believed by the
people of every nation. There seems
something fatalistic in the prompti-
tude with which calamities tread on
one another's heels. One of the
earliest sacred books of the Jewish
canon furnishes an illustration in
point, for in a single day the oxen
and sheep, the camels and other
beasts of burden of the patriarch of
Uz were swept away, his servants
were slain, his children destroyed, the
messengers following each other so
quickly that hardly was there time for
one dismal narrative to end ere an
other began. But we do not need to
to find examples of the rapid Sc
quence of misfortunes, according to
the St Louis Globe-Democrat Every
one knows that one accident or dis
sster is certain to be followed by an
other, sometimes of similar character,
and having a visible connection with
It's predecessor, sometimes entirely
dlssociated, so far as appearances go,
from everything that has preceded.
The clustering of accidents is well
known among men in particular lines
of business.

knows perfectly well that an accident
involving considerable loss of life
will within few days be followed
by another so similar in it's leading

here and abroad the boa in all its
guises has in a great degree given
place to the frilly shoulder cape fin
ished with very long scarf ends of
handsome lace, or of accordion-plaited
net of chiffon tied with velvet bows,
or frightened here and there with
clusters of roses or soft fluffy silk
poppies. Costly models are formed
of real chantilly lace with the scarf
ends woven in very fine patterns, por-
tions of both the cape ruffles and
scarf ends showing incrustations of
the choicest silk embroidery in Ar
menian, Flemish, Louis XIV. and other

Long half-fitting cloaks of black
unlined taffeta, silk or peau de sole,
faultless in outline and effect, are
worn over gowns of white liberty satin
foulard, white pique, yelling, mohair,
etamine, etc. The greater portion OF
these garments are open down the
front, others are slightly double
breasted and at the top of the wrap
are little square-fronted jackets of lace
or embroidery not much deeper than
a decorated yoke. Other black silk
coats worn over white dresses are in
box-plaited three-quarter style with
flowing sleeves and costly guipure lace
collars enriched with applique de-
signs in black velvet cut work.

total to more than 5000, 900, without
making any account of the increase in
population of the American islands in
the Pacific or an increase in the popu-
lation of Alaska
There are now 5000, 900 inhabitants
in the Philippine Islands and 950,0O0
in Porto Rico. and even without any
allowance for gain in either, the total
population of the United States and
the countries under its sovereignty
would be 98,5S3,0 900.
Under these circumstances, an esti-
mate of 10O,000,0O0 Americans under
the Stars and Stripes eight years
hence, so far from being extravagant,
is really quite modest and conserva-
tive, and there does not appear to be
any reason why the total population of
the country in 1900 should not consid-
erably exceed, as it probably will, that
figure.
If the present rate of immigration
continues, the rate of increase in pop
ulation will be much beyond the 15
