The Salt In the Ocean.

The ocean was once merely brackish
and not salt, as it is now. This was
when the earth was in its first youth
and before there was any land show
ing at all or any animal life in the wa
ter. At this time the water was grad
ually cooling from it's original state of
steam, and the salts were slowly I'M
dergoing the change from gases into
solids. Then came the appearance of
land and, later on, rivers, which grad
ually washed down more and more
salts, while at the bottom of the ocean
itself chemical action was constantly
adding more brine to the waters. At
present it is estimated there are in the
worlds oceans 100000 cubic miles of
salt, and the most astonishing thing
about it is that if all the salt could be
taken out in a moment the level of the
water would not drop one single inch.

Japane.e wives.

The japanese woman does not black
en- her teeth under any mistaken idea
that it makes her attractive; she does
il to make herself unattractive. Her
husband is supposed to know her val
ne. If he doesn't. he divorces her. He
makes no provision for her, and she
has no du.Try from her family. But a
divorced woman in Japan nearly al
ways marries again. She brings moth
ing but gentle and obedient slave
and takes nothing away with her but
the same valuable commodity.
The reason why lower class women
receive more consideration from their
husbands than their upper class sis
tiers is that they are capable of earning
their own livings, which japanese Ia
dies are not So thoroughly is this rec
ognized that lower class woman di-
vorces her husband If she is not salts
fed, n thing which never happens in
the more select circles unless the wom-
an is an heiress, when the husband is
of as little consideration as lady. 1t
Is only when she has no brothers that
a Japanese woman may expect money
from her parents. If they have only a
daughter to leave their money to. the
son-in-law has to take her name-and
the consequences

a Clever PfcIzpocl.et.

In Paris two police officers recently
got upon the track of n pickpocket.
They surprised him in the act at the
omnibus bureau and followed him in
hot pursuit. He was a thin, poorly
clad young fellow. In the Rue Roche
chonaut, however, he suddenly disap-
peared. Judging that he had slipped
into one of the houses they SET; them
selves to watch for his temperance.
The thief in the meantime had entered
n bathing establishment, and after a
refreshing bath entered the box of an
other bather and calmly clothed HIM
self in the smart suit he found there,
then passed proudly and peacefully
out before the very eyes of his pur-
suers. The climax of humor came
when the other bather, arrayed in the
rags of the pickpocket, was grabbed by
the officers of the law at the door and
dragged off to the station house. With
some difficulty the situation was ex-
planned; but the pickpocket is still
laughing.

FEMININE FANCIEs.
Ioth has are verv nopniar.

Cloth hats are very popular.
Long. loose coats are the thing for
receptions especially.
Camers hair and felt as trim
ming for shirtwaists are to be much
used this winter.
The slot-seamed garment is very
popular and will be seen in fall ma
terials of all kinds
Don't wear your pocketbook on the
side but right in front. letting ii dan
gle from the belt pin.
y large white tuIl bow at the back
of the neck makes an exceedingly
dressy finish and is very stylish.
The narrow band of black silk hook
ed about the neck with the decolette
gown is taking the place of the neck
lace.
The large pearl buttons used so
much on the shirtwaist of the summe :
will play an important part in the
trimming for winter waists.
Among the fashionable shirtwaist
materials are liberty satin, taffeta
silk. velvet, corduroy, cloth, French
flannel, velveteens and Argentine
silk.
the hair and the large celluloid pins
extend out in warlike fashion at the
end of the hair as it is braided and
worn low in the neck.
The salt and pepper suit fashion
able at the present time will soon be-
come common as the manufacturers
are already making this material in
the cotton and wooden fabrics.
The yoke effect will prevail this
winter the same as in the summer
just passed. Below the yoke the dress
is full. In fact the tight effect at
the top with the flare at the bottom
is the rule.
a neat fall shirtwaist is made as
much like mans shirt as possible.
1t has the soft turned down collar
and is full both back and front, with
two little pockets on either side and
the waist is stitched in white.
The popcorn pillow is something
new. Get a piece of bingham largn
enough for any sized pillow desired
with large blue and white blocks
then puff every white square so that
when all are raised mass of white
appears on top which much resem-
bles popped corn. The effect is very
pretty.
The little nick-nacks such as bows
for the hair and waist, fancy belt
and stick pins, neck ribbons, pocket
books, etc, play an important part
in woman's makeup and without
which there is n lack of thickness.
The bow will still be used for n trim
ming this winter. Bows of lively
colorS with n sash of black velvet
should be part of every girls ward
robe.
The shoe-string belt is becoming
popular in this city at last. In the
early summer it reached the common
stage i'm Ohio and that region. \
summer visitor from Ohio first APP
peared with this belt in Rock Island
and since then it has gradually been
adopted by others. This new belt
is change. for the summer just pas:
produced few strictly new girdles
The shoe-string belt is inexpensive
and easily made. The common width
requires 10 strands and when braid
ed together in pure white or mixed
with other colors makes n snowy ac-
cessory to woman's togs. The strings
cost from Is to % cents according to
quality. Anyone can braid them.
and there is just now n popular fad
with the girls of this city.
