The Sandow girl is in style. The new
shirt waists are built so that a woman
looks twice as wide as she is. In her
skirt she looks narrower, for skirts are
very clinging and they are fitted as far
down as the knees. But the figure must
be broad and apparently muscular, so
that the midsummer woman comes
very near being top-heayy.
The new waists are made with the
shoulder plat. This is a fold of cloth
which is put on in such a manner that
it projects over the shoulders. In Ger
tain shape it is called the "Gibsonian, -
and its immediate effect is to make the
shoulders look very wide. 1t is really
more becoming to slender woman
than to a plump one, but both styles
are wearing it and you are gradually
getting used to the woman who looks
twice as broad as she die in the spring
Sleeves display the same popularity
They are tucked in rows Of tucking
running around the arm and they are
trimmed with bands OF lace going
round and round, all of which tend to
make the sleeve large and the arm big.

Now that ladies wear SO many jewels
in the day time a sequence of color
should be thought out The Siamese
arrangement may, perhaps, afford sug-
gestions. In that country on Sunday
red silk with parure of rubies is
worn; Monday brings a silver and
white dress and a necklace of moon
stones; Tuesday is dedicated to light
red. with coral ornaments; Wednesday
is devoted to green, with emeralds;
Thursday sees a display of variegated
colors. with cats eyes; Friday the lady
is arrayed in pale blue with flashing
diamonds; and Saturday the more
sombre, darker blue. with sapphires
to match.-London Graphic

Speaking of changes in the En-
glish language" said a gentleman who
keeps up with the new meaning of
words, what is the matter with the
new significance given to the words
grating and CRATER? If you do not
believe that some change has taken
place suppose you stop a friend on
the street and introduce him to an
other friend as an expert. Suppose
you put it in this way: Mr.. Slow, this
is Mr. Swift, one of the greatest graf
tiers in the country. If you should
get off with your life you would be
doing remarkably well No man
wants to be called a CRATER now. Yet
in the old English meaning of the
word there is nothing offensive. The
fact is, that in the purer meaning of
the word CRATER there is no particular
offence. 1t simply means one who
gratis. Grating is not dishonest
business in this sense of the word. So
far as the dictionaries go there is mo-
thing of an offensive nature to be
found in even the most delicate shad-
lHgs of the word. Yet in the common
understanding, probably | should say
the current understanding, it is
serious thing to call man
CRATER 1t means that ne pam
handles; that ne gets money
wherever and whenever he can; that
he gets it legitimately if he can, but
that he gets 1t; that he uses his pres
tige and his power to pick up the
crumbs along the way; that he is a
parasite. in short, and sponge who
takes all he can get. Grating in this
last meaning of the word is not the
good old honest business OF crossing
trees and plants not the square bust
ness of improving one species by MAX
ing it draw a heavier per cent. of it's
sustenance from some stronger and
more vigorous kind of growth; but it
consists chiefly in getting something
for nothing, and is practised by para
sitical growths which suck the means
of existence from forms of life more
useful and more Industrious. We have
in this a rather ant illustration of the
rapidity with which our language
changes. and after all the new mean
ing of the word, and its application to
a certain class of men, is not such a
broad stretch of it's original meaning

ture, making the necessary prepera-
lions. The pendulum itself is ball Of
lead weighing about 60 pounds. 1t
was used in 1869 by NJ Maumenee for
observations in tAe Cathedral of
Rheims. The demonstration consists
in the fact that the heavy pendulum
ball, once set in motion, will continue
to swing for several hours, and that
while the plane in which it swings
remains constantly the same the
earth's movement of rotation causes
an apparent twist of this plane so that
the direction of the swing slowly
changes with reference to the points
of the compass.

99 Women S1Syfes

That the industFial field for women in
this country is looked upon as a veri-
table Eldorado by some English writ
ers on the subject is evidenced by the
glowing account of the opportunities
at the command of American women
and the salaries paid for various kinds
Of that appeared in'a recent issue Of
{ an influential London weekly Teach
ing and typewriting are stated as the
staple occupations of women of edu-
cation and ability. The average rate of
salary for capable we'll trained teach
ers, it is stated, is from $500 to $1,000
a year, while head mislresses ald col
lege professors receive proportionahely
more. All teachers have a summer va
cation OF from three to four months,
which many energetic teachers make
profitable by giving private lessons or
tutoring in the various summer resorts,
by chaperoning girls to Europe or in
many other ways which entail neither

graphy and typewriting is this COM
ment: THE typewriter is an adjunct of
every business Office in the United
States, and its operator is usually

Oils of chamomile, rosemary, cumin.
illicum anisatum and rose are found
by Dubois to phosphoresce in the cold
on agitation with an alcoholic solu-
ton of potassium hydrate. The differ
ent behaviour of oils of geranium and
pelargonium gives an easy means of
recognizing substitutlons of these oils
for oil of rose. Turpentine oil does
not phorphoresce when fresh, but
sometimes does so when old. The
most brilliant effect is shown by aescu-
lin, a glucoside of horse chestnut bark.
In the cold alcoholic solution of potas-
SUM hydrate this substance sparl1les
for hours, briAtening up with every
movement of tle liquid, and giving an
intensity of light in direct proportion
to the purity CT the aesculin. In no
case, however, is this phosphorescence
equal to that of cultures of marine
photo-bactegia.

A FAMILY AFFAIR.

"I raised family on Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic", is a common expression in letters to Dr. Harter. It is very true that this famous remedy does appeal to the family; it is common sense, everyday help-not patent medicine. There is no secret about it. Iron has been used to purify and strengthen the blood ever since medicine became "a science. In the half-century of its existence Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic has firmly established itself as an ideal family remedy. It is good for the baby, good for the young folks, and good for adults. There comes to all of these, regularly, hot necessar- fly sickness, but times when the blood needs to be purified and strengthened; thinking, ensible people take Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic at such times to prevent sickness. Keep tho young people strong if you want them to suc- ceed. When they are merging into manhood and womanhood the system requires an abundance of iron.

COMPLAINTS MADE TO COUNTY
 BOARD OF REVENUE.
February Freshets Damaged the Road-Prisoners in County Jail May Be Provided With
 Bathing Facilities.

The Board of Revenue of Montgomery County was in session yesterday for two hours, in the discussion and settlement of routine business. The ever present bridge question was up again and ar engagements were made for the repair or three more bridges damaged by the heavy freshets of February.
 At every meeting since these rains the Board has had to pass upon the repair of one or more bridges. Complaint was made yesterday to the Board that the bridges over Catoma Creek. the bridge over Baldwin's Slough and the White bridge were in need of immediate work. After hearing statements about the con- dition of the bridges the Board decided upon the repairs and awarded the con- tract for the work to J. M. Palmer. A negro road overseer on the Mobile road asked that his men be excused from work on the road for at least a week in view of the recent rain and the crops pressing need of attention. His request was granted.
 The Board talked on the lack of sani- tary arrangements at the jail and the lack of bathing facilities for the prisoners was deplored. The suggestion that bath ing tubs be placed in the jail was amended by the further suggestion that a number of barrel tubs be purchas sed and furnished the jail. The Board passed the matter until the members could con- fer with the Sheriff and jail officials on the tub questions.
 A number of accounts were read and passed and the Board adjourned
