Big Tunnels of the Future.

An article in the Pail Mall Gazette
on the Simplon tunnel suggests specu-
lation on the great tunnel still to be
made. One which involves great en-
cheering difficulties was lately sane
toned by the Austrian parliament. 1t
will pierce the Alps between the Vor-
arlberg and Trieste, and with it's APP
proaches will cost not less than 81
100000 ($35, oOO,oOO). Another project
of greater Importance, though it has
not yet gone further than being talked
about, is for tunnel under the Grimsel
pass. This, indeed, may be regarded
as the inevitable supplement to the
Simplon, which it will couple with the
Bernese Overland, enabling travel al
most in bee line from Calais to Milan.
1t is bound to come, therefore, in due
course, but it will probably be- the last
big tunnel in our days. At all events
one searches the map of Europe in vain
for place where the present exigen-
cies of traffic call for or would justify

70 WASH CALICOES.
Some Timely Pointers on How to Set
the COlors and How to Brighten
the Hues.

Calicoes, before they are put in
water, should have the grease spots
rubbed out as they cannot be seen
when the garment is wet. They
should not be washed in very hot
suds, mildly warm water will do even
better and will not extract the col
ors. Soft soap should never be used
for calicoes excepting for the various
buff and yellow goods. The majority
of calicoes should be rinsed in fair
water and dried in the shade. 2ale
pink and pale blue would be bleached
to white if left in the sun to dry.
Colors can be set by washing the
goods in lukewarm water with beef's
gall in the proportion of teacup-
in rain water-no soap being neces-
sary unless the clothes are very
dirty. The beef's gall can be kept
several months by squeezing it out
of the skin in which it is incased;
add salt, bottle it and cork tight.
Soap must never be rubbed on calico
or lawns; lukewarm soapsuds is used
for more soiled goods.
Black calicoes can be Numbered in
water in which potatoes have been
boiled. A family in mourning, where
several ladies wear sheer black
waists, orders all the water in which
potatoes have been boiled to be saved
to launder the black dresses, pure
cistern water serving for rinsing.
Potato water boiled down to a con-
sistence stiffens black goods instead
of starch, as the latter would show

knowing it could not withstand the
whitening heat of our climate. Ac
cordingly she bought two green boxes
made of small green tiles, filled then
with rich earth and larger portion
of sand, and, taking two well-grown ivy
sprays from the water, she planted
them on either side of her plain hearth
Two more sprays she put in boxes ano
put them on either end of the black
marble mantel shelf.
The ivy has already grown up ant
down, and promises to throw a ricf
green veil over the whole fireplace
frame the mirror above it and do away
with bric-a-brac at that point. AS hers
is city house, where, on her husbands
account, she spends the major portion
of every summer, she finds the curtain
of green a most delightful and refresh
ing ornament.
The florists, who are always quick
to accept good ideas, have come to a
realization of the fact that something
is needed for fireplace decoration in
summer. Accordingly the fireplace
screen has been introduced. In the
leaves of the screen the ribbons and
tendrils of iron form a series of brack-
cts, into which large and small green
tile pots fit. In the pots all manner of
trailing green things are rooted, and
their garlands and long tendrils, weav-
ing as they grow through the wrought
iron fret work, form delicate and eff
fectual screen for the whole hearth.
By another equally pleasing arrange
ment the florist will measure fire
place and build special floral hearth
box. He makes this box of beaten
brass, or copper, or tiles, or painted
wood and roots in it iris, and lilies, and
green outstanding things, that will
shut off the view of the crate or the
gap left by the removal of the fire dogs
and logs with wall of color and yer.

Woman's Lot in Japnn.

According to western ideas the mar
ried woman in Japan is not to be
envied. A Japanese girls marriage
dowry consists of nothing beyond her
dresses, little writing desk box of
cosmetics and other toilet necessar-
les, couple of little dining tables
and a few lacquer plates. Japanese
women do not inherit fortunes, and
in families where there is no son one
is adopted as an heir. Women of
the poorer classes are most to be
pitied. A husband is as free as a
bachelor, and can do exactly what he
chooses. A man marries when he
likes, and when he tires of his wife
he may put her away and take an
other with as little fuss as we make
about changing our tradespeople.
These exchanges, or divorces, are most
frequent among the poor, but are
comparatively rare among the upper
classes.

est women there have returned to the
short skirt. This has been gradually
approaching-tha is to say, skirts as
a rule have been shorter-for some
months past. But still, trains have
continued to be worn even for walking
in some degree.
The authority cited now declares,
however, that 'some of the most styl-
ish women in Paris, those who are al
ways dressed in the models of the
y-after-to-morrow, have taken to
wearing short skirts in the morning,
and the afternoon when walking; and
not only then, but there were quite a
dozen women at Longchamps, the
smartest of the smart, who wore
skirts to the ankles.
The old idea of edging narrow tucks
with very narrow lace is to the fore
again among the lawn and pongee
gowns. On a tucked bodice every third
or fourth tuck edged with lace gives
very soft, pretty effect. For colored
pongee this mode of trimming is espe-
cially good, the entire shaped founce
being in the tucks and frills.
One tendency which is conspicuously
in evidence among the summer gowns
for day wear is for less thickness about
the neck. Lace with chiffon lining
is the average yoke and collar band,
and many of the gowns have no collars
at all, while not a few are cut out quite
little below the collar band.
This is prettily illustrated in a soft
yellow ecru null gown, trimmed with
square medallions of Cluny lace, which
encircle the skirt, joined by bands OF
white ribbon. The narrow front
breadth is outlined down either side
with the squares, extend up the bodice,
and the yoke is also of lace squares
and ribbon.
The sleeves ending at the elbow in
cuff of lace, are in two puffs, and
bow of ribbon is the finish at the back.
This fashion of the collarless bodice
is gaining favor every day, especially
among the women who have the round,
white throat which is necessary to
make it success. But the unfortu-
nate phase of it is that those who can
grace the mode the least are sure to
adopt it. The power to see ourselves
as others see us would certainly be a
saving grace in the fashion world.

FIREPLACE FERNERIES.
Hearth Gardens That Preserve De-
lightfuI Temperature and Are
an Aid to beauty.

Of a number of excellent plans for
screening or decorating fireplace
none is more sensible OF ornamental
than that of turning it into sort of
fernery. Ferns, ivy, swamp lilies, peri
wrinkles and two or three varieties of
oriental iris love to root in cool, dark,
mist places, and properly drained and
planted, a fireplace garden can be made
just as attractive as one in a window.
One woman, whose cottage drawing
room is provided with a very old-fash-
Toned square brick fireplace, in which
the antique crane still swings, and
above which the narrow mantel shelf
is set very high, resorted to very sim
pie measures for identifying it during
the summer. She bought three copper
pots, such as the florists hang in their
windows full of flowers. These she had
filled with earth, and planted with
green things that love the shade, and
stringing them along the crane, she
effectively screened the smoke-black-
ened cavern where the flames had
1eaped all winter.
Many of her friends have since ha6
polished steel cranes fixed in their
modern fireplaces, and on these they
have hung brass kettles and bowls, and
one went SO far as to have her bric-a-
brac dealer hunt up for her true old
fashioned three-legged iron crane pot.
Another resourceful housekeeper
who has had large experience with
house plants found last winter that
English ivy would grow gratefully if
allowed a vase of fresh water every
day in which to keep its green toes
moist. With the coming of spring she
dared not plant her ivy out of doors.

Persian Complexion Secret.

Persian ladies, who are said to have
compilations whose bloom and velvety
softness are simply wonderful, use no
cream or ointment of their faces. In
stead, they apply, half an hour be-
fore their daily bath, coating of
white of egg. When this has COM
pletely dried it is sponged off with
tepid water, to which is added little
tincture of benzoin, and then the
skin is sponged over with cold milk.
The white of egg cleanses the skin,
and the treatment described removes
all impurities from the complexion,
leaving it smooth and soft as that of
a child.-N. Y. Weekly.
