He Missed His Beauty Sleep.

A good story is told by Thomas Pres
ton Brooke, the famous band master,
that illustrates the stupidity of some
hotel boys.
Mr.. Brooke had been doing some
hard travelling with his band, playing
two towns daily for about three weeks
before reaching New Orleans, and ev-
erybody connected with the organiza'
tion was tired out. The next day be-
ing Sunday, the band was to lay over
in New Orleans, so after the evening
concert Mr.. Brooke left particular In
structions at his hotel that lie was not
to be disturbed, except in case of fire,
until o'clock the next day. He went
to bed, expecting to get full nights
rest for change, but about 8 O'Clock
he was awakened by rapping on his
door. Not being in n very amiable
mood, Mr.. Brooke asked rather grutfiy
We'll what is it?" Then a small,
timid voice, from the other side of the
door replied: Didn't you ring to be
woke Milwaukee Sentinel.

Rope-Iike Fo,ds.

All those who have been in mourning
well know how hard it is to think up
effective trimmings 'out Of whole
cloth" One woman has gotten around
it in this wise. The dress is of soft,
rich black goods, the bodice being
tucked, save at the front, where a vest
of crepe, in panel effect, is introduced.
This is criss-crossed with folds of the
crepe, the crepe weave giving a rope
like appearance. Five of these folds
are down each side of the vest. This
idea might be carried out entire, with
fine results, the panel running down
the front Of the skirt and also heading
the founce. Folds of crepe are most
effective trimming, anyway.

French aprons, as well as French
frocks, have a peculiar smartness of
their own and are very generally be-
coming to small folk. The dainty lit
tie apron shown includes the long
waist and other essential features, and
is suited to all the long list of white
and colored apron materials, but as
here shown is of white dimity, with
edging and insertion of needlework.

and lower edges, the fitting being ac-
complished by means of shoulder and
under-arm seams The full skirt is also
gathered and is scanned 10 its lower
edge. The neck edge is finished with
n bertha collar that flares apart in
points at both front and back, and

Children in the Paola (Kan) public
schools have established correspond
ence with children in the Edinburgh
(Scotland public schools, and the let
ters that pass between them contain
much that is amusing. For example,
one Scotch boy is very indignant at
the mistaken ideas which are held of
his people. He says: Many people,
even in England, think that our male
sex dress in kits, but they are quite
wrong, for there is hardly n man in
Edinburgh, or anywhere in the middle
or south of Scotland who wears kits,
1t also is thought that the language
of the Scotch is bad English, but it is
quite the reverse, for the English is
bad, broken Scotch"

Ties from Straw.

A Washington man has struck a
rich idea at least, it will make him
rich II things pan out as he expects.
There are about 20,00O,0OO railroad ties
used in the United States in a year,
and each tie costs the road about rs
cents. Iron and stone cannot be
used, as they have no elasticity, so
wood has remained as the only thing
available. Now the Washingtonian
comes forward with a machine which
will make ties from straw, the cheap
est material in the world, and the ties
will be firm. but elastic. They are
made by secret, but very cheap

Satin shoes or slippers to match all
gowns for dressy occasions are almost
de rigeuer now, and another luxury
are gloves OF white glace kid, suede
Or the heavy skins that are worn with
every sort of gown. They are seen so
gloves are sold in the high priced shops.
One exception is made in the heavy
black glace gloves with white seams
and stitching that look very chic for
time, and as the seams are soled look
just like the cid style funeral kids.

DR.. A. MacNicholl Of New York has
recently published in the Quarterly
Journal of lnebriety an account OF a
family in which the results of degen-
eracy and disease, arising mainly from
alcoholism, have been traced and
studied for four generations. The first
generation comprised married couple
OF good social position In the United
States. Both INDUCED in social gale
ties. lived we'll and took wine habitu-
ally and daily. They had two daugh-
tiers, each Of whom developed in early
life fondness for wine and spirits.
The elder Of the two gave herself up
to excesses of the widest description.
and died a raving alcoholic maniac at
the age of 40. The second daughter
married a wealthy banker and lived a
life of excess. which led to tempo
rary mental breakdown at the age OF
35. She bore eight children, two male
and six females. The two males grew
up to be drunkards. OF the six daugh-
ters Ave died from phthisis between the
ages OF 20 and 35 years. The surviv-
ing daughter married a man of good
position. who was healthy and mod
crate drinker. They led fashionable
life. observing few social restraints.

CANDLES IN NEW ORLEANS.
More Consumed in That City Than in
ANY Other Place.


1.-The candle never goes out in New
Orleans" said man who is connected
with big candle manufacturing con-
cern, "and l suppose the consumption
of candles in New Orleans is greater
than at any other place in the world.
proportionately, and where gas, elec-
tricity and oil are also used for light
ing purposes. 1t will only require
few moments reflection to explain
why this is. Take All Saints day, for
instance. Did you ever think about
the large number of candles that are
used on this day in the pretty observ-
ances which mark this day Of flowers
and sentiment? The use of candles is
by no means confined to any one re-
ligious denomination on All Saints
day, but Of course, in the Catholic
cemeteries they are used more exten-
sively than elsewhere. And. of course.
the extensive use of candles In other
observances Of religious nature has
a great deal to do with swelling the
enormous number of candles used
here. They are of all kinds, too. and
all sizes. Candles of the finest pos
sible make are sold in the New Or.
leans market, and play part in the
pretty ceremonials which mark the
life in this quaint old place. And can
| dies of the cheaper grades are used,
too. In price they range from three
for five cents up to almost any price
you want to pay."-New Orleans

little scratch upon drunkard's skin

thrust through and through the body

this. but the ruin that it brings into

Have you heard him mutter and jab-

Have you heard him moan. cry,
shrek, curse and rave as he tried to
skulk under the bedclothes? Have you
