cravats, perhaps the form that is least seen
and that is most likely to undergo a re-
vival is the ascot. 1t is SO easy for a man
of any experience and fashionable skill to
tie an ascot tmoreoVer he can always get
his valet to tie it for him if he hasn't the
small amount of deXterity requiSite); and
this particular task, for some reason, so en-
tirely eludes the skill of the average Lon
don or German stockbroking bounder, that
ascots, when they do come into the more
pronounced popularity l venture to predict
for them, are likely to stay.
The most fashionable tie pins just now
are small round pearls, perfectly plain.
Black pearls are as correct as white
ones, but less fashionable and more expen-
sive. TurQuo.SeS have at last definitely left
us. small gold ball is the only alterna
tive to the pearl, except the cameo-a
fashion which will grow in popularity
faster and faster when the ascot gets
grip. The present use Of canoes includes
very small, lightly cut ones. but We are
more and more adopting the old-fashioned,
high-cut. brown and white oval cameo in
a gold cord-patterned mount measuring In
the line of the greatest axis perhaps as
much as three-quarters of an inch. Men
who have such oval cameo pins among
their family jeWelry are as pleased to wear
them as men were to use their family gold
seals when fob-chains came SO much into
vogue for evening dress again little while
ago. l may just mention that an ordinary
watch-chaiu still cannot be worn with
evening dress, nor ought it to be worn with
ming straight across the wafstcoat. from
pocket to pocket. not festOoning in any
way, and without bar or other addition, can
be worn with jacket suit and ought to be

Collar Lore.
In the matter of collars, the best novelty
is double collar with the underneath ends,
where the stud holes are reduced to two
mere tabs, instead of having the same
height as the fronts. This makes a collar
that is a great deal easier to put on, and
when worn it cannot be distinguished from
the old pattern, as the cutting away of the
linen is below, not above, the stud holes.
Hence the whole collar lies low on the
neck. 1t is also lower in itself, tn. old
high double collar being almost entirely
done away with.
The wing collar of the hour has rather
acute -angled fronts and consequently small
wings; the angles of the latter are just .suf-
ficiently rounded-off not to be corners but
they cannot be called round. The same is
true OF shirt cuffs everywhere and of all
angles, indeed. in every part of a mans
attire.

made with quite perpendicular fronts. rath-
er close together.

The Great Salt Lake.

Prof. W. j. McGee, of the govern
ment geological survey, declares that
the Great Salt Lake Of Utah Is vanish
ing. and that this most remarkable
body of water will be completely dried
up in fifty years, If not sooner. AL
ready it's waters show signs of reced-
ing, and it may not be more than TWEEN
ty-five years before irrigated farms will
be cultivated on what is now the bot
tom of this inland sea, whose waters
are so salt that body cannot sink in
them.
The lake is about seventy-five miles
long and half that at its greatest
width, and is rather shallow, being in
most places not over 80 feet deep, al
though depth Of possibly 100 feet
may obtain in certain places. The rea-
son why it is so salt, science says, is
simply because it has no outlet save
through evaporation, and the stream
during past ages have been carrying
salt into it. These contributing streams
are now being utilized for irrgating
the lands around the lake, and before
long immense reservoirs will be con-
structed in the mountains where these
streams have their sourse, which will
cut off the lakes feed entirely. When
this is done the level Of the lake will
be lowered very fast.-Washington

The Professors Mistake.

The members of certain learned so
ciety had been indulging in birthday
festivities. and when dinner and the
subsequent enjoyments were over Pro-
fessor Jones started off to trudge the
half-mile or so 70 his home. The pro-
fessor is a very clever man, says the
Pittsburg Bulletin. and noted for the
keenness Of his intellect.
The excitement and the unusually
hearty dinner, followed by the abstruse
discussion in which he had been en-
gagged, had given him headache; so,
approaching an electric light post. he
pressed his throbbing brow against the
cool iron Thus he stood for few
minutes. Then. feeling little chilly.
he buttoned his overcoat preparatory
to proceeding on his way home. but to
his horror when he attempted to leave
the post he found himself unable to
move.
A brain such as the professors works
quickly, and the reason for his deten-
ton soon seemed clear. Evidently the
current which fed the lamp above had
become diverted from its course and
was passing through his body. binding
him to the post in the process. Death,
ghastly and horrible. stared him in the
face. Gradually his backbone would
become dissolved to jelly, and while
the awful process was going on he
must stand there as helpless as a but
-zT-tiv mined to cork.

Clara felt on being promoted to the
public school after two years of les
sons at her grandmother's knee was
greatly increased, says Harper's Maya
zine, when the time came for her first

that it was graded one hundred.

Worry Causes Dyspepsia.

Worry is a cause and source of
much unhappiness. 1t seams the face
with line and burrows and has most
depressing effect upon that hypersen-
sitive organ, the stomach, which at
such times becomes most unwilling
and laggard servant. Indeed, it Is safe
to say that unless encouraged by a
cheerful temper and bright or, at least,
hopeful thoughts, the stomach will play
truant or sulk or do no good work. The
physiological explanation of this is the
close alliance of the great sympathetic
nerves, which are worse than the tele-
graph for carrying bad news; the work
and anxiety which depress the brain
cause simultaneously a semi-paralysis

Venezuelan Pearls,

The island Of Margarita, situated of
the coast of Venezuela, is one of the
most celebrated centres of pearl fish
cry. The Spaniards in the days of
Columbus found the natives of Mar
garita and the neighboring mainland
decked out with pearls, and the pearl
producing oysters of that locality have
never since failed in their productive
ness. Recently the price of pearls has
risen in the market, and the activity
of the Venezuelan fishermen has cor.
respondingly increased. A French com,
pany has obtained concession from
the Venezuelan government to fish fol
pearls with diving apparatus.

Thus the fight wages for half an hour
or more, and the temperature of the
living furnace Is brought down to 1U7
degrees-still five degrees above the
point of putative safety and GONZALES
cence.
But again, perhaps, the breathing
ceases, and the doctors fairly leap at
their patient in more vigorous meas
ures. The seconds seem minutes be-
fore the unconscious chest again
heaves with the breath of life, and
ether is injected into the leg. 1t is a
stroong restorative and has a stimulat-
ing effect. Ten minutes later his tenn
perature has gone down to 103 or there
abouts, but once more he collapses and
is again pulled back by the desperate
working of his arms and the kneading
of his chest.
A Degree Nearer to Life.
Another degree less of temperature,
and he is further away from death and
nearer to the life for which the doctors
are battling as though their own lives
depended upon the success of their eff
forts. A few degrees more and all will
be safe, and the doctors hope they will
pull him through. Three times more,
however, they must jump quickly and
resume the suspended work of inducing
artificial breathing, and frequently in
ject stimulants in the region of the
heart. Rapidly, but scarcely percep-
tibly, because of it's feeble strokes, the
pulse beats continue, and the patient
begins to make vigorous movements,
showing such strength that the doctors
believe they will win the battle.

Cure for Uneven Shoulders.

Doctors and tailors have noticed that
the number of patients and customers
who have even shoulders Is increasing.
The right shoulder is usually higher
than the left This is true especially
of men engaged in literary wors. The
effect Is due to the way men sit or
write at their desks. The right elbow
rests on the desk, throwing one shoul-
der higher than the other. Few per-
sons when writing keep the shoulders
erect. The reason that few women
clerks are so affected is because the
most of them use the typewriter, which
forces them to sit more erectly. When
you notice that you are affected the
best thing to do is to change your way
of sitting at your desk. Two simple
exercises will help you out. The arm
Of the lower shoulder should be ex-
tended upward, the hand grasping a
dumbbell; that of the higher shoulder
should be lowered and be made to sup
port heavy weight.
