Two Stylish Garments.

Waists made with round yokes out
lined by berthas appear to gain in IA
vor with each succeeding week. The
one illustrated in the large drawing by
May Manton is peculiarly attractive as
we'll as practical, inasmuch as 1t can
be made high or low, with full length
or elbow sleeves, and so serve a double
purpose. The model is made of black
and white checked louisine, with yoke
of lace and bertha and cuffs of white
panne cloth edged with lace applique,
but any number of combinations might
be suggested. The sleeves are among
the latest and show cuffs of the newest
sort. When made in elbow length these
last are omitted and the puffs are
pushed up to droop over their edges.
The waist is made over fitted lining
and closes invisibly at the centre front,
the yoke being hooked over at the left
shoulder. The lining is snugly fitted,
and on it are arranged the yoke, the
full fronts and back. The bertha is
circular and serves to outline the yoke.
The sleeves are shirred at the shoul-
ders to fit the arm snugly, but form
dropping puffs below the elbows.
The quantity of material required for
the medium size Is four and an eighth
yards twenty-one inches wide, three
and half yards twenty-seven inches
wide or two and quarter yards forty
four inches wide, with seven-elghth
yards twenty-one inches wide for ber-
tina and cuff facings, three-eighth yard
eighteen inches wide for yoke and col
lar and three and quarter yards of
applique edging to trim as illustrated.
House jackets are among the COM
forts which no woman should consent

Portable and appropriately can be made

finished at the neck and waist with
ties of red louisine ribbons.

Plain and Pretty Women.

By neglccting certain simple arts
and ordinary precautions n great many
pretty girls fail to make the most of
their beauty, and by attending to these
arts and precautions a great many
plain girls make up for natures un-
kindness to them. Plain girls, with
brains, need not envy beauties. The
plain girl that knows the nature Of
men is likely to be more popular
among her masculine acquaintances
and to make better match in the end
than the naughty and careless beauty
that will not stoop to conquer. Every
girl should strive to make the best Of
herself physically, temperamentally
ard intellectually. For the body, mod
crate, regular and well planned exer-
else is necessary. Exercise not only
keeps a girl in health, and produces
color and clear skin, but It builds up
the physique, makes the flesh firm, and
adds grace to the natural curves. The
hair should be we'll brushed and
dressed with some regard to the con-
tour Of the face. head and neck. Every
manicure's art, too, and care for her
nails with skill. An erect graceful
carriage adds much to the girls at
tractiveness. A woman should be
erect as we'll as supple. Gawxiness or
slouohiness in standing or walking
destroys tho tender roots OF regard
that may be sprouting In a mans
breast. Any woman may acquire a
good carriage by care and practice,
may dress her hair prettily, and have
beautifr' anger nails. Neatness in
dress Is the main characteristic Of q
well-attired girl. She gives attention
to details of attire. She is aware that
frayed facings, ripped skirt bindings,
spotted garments, loose or missing but
tons, pins where hooks should be,
unpublished shoes, soiled or worn-out
gloves, untidy linen, rumpled ribbons,
and belts out of place cooperate in
making a bad impression. Good
clothes react on the mind of the wear
er. The knowledge that one Is in good
form and correctly attired changes
ones whole bearing, and imparts a
poise impossible to shabby or untidy
persons. me shrewd observer has
remarked tnat the consciousness of be-
ing we'll dressed arouses in the heart
a sense Of happiness that religion is
powerless to bestow.-Ncw York
Weekly.

Wedding Gown Morali1ina.

OF perennial interest to women Is
the wedding gown. But Folly is justi-
fed of her children, and pretty we'd
ding is q pretty sight. But for all that
there is too much made of the wedding
gown. The newly-engaged girl, with
a few exceptions, rs soon as the ex-
citement of the proposal has abated
somewhat, begins to think Of and to
discuss her wedding gown. Is it to
be oyster or ivory white satin? Is 1t
to have a court train? Is the trim.
ming to be lace or chiffon? Are the
orange blossoms to be real, and will
II be proper for her to wear her
'pearls?" The latter point is left
undecided, for who can tell the form
that the gifts of the bridegroom-elect
will take? These may be diamonds!
The engaged lover so often breaks
out into diamond stars for the hair!
If the engagement Is short the matter
of the wedding garment fills every
spare modnent-and few that should
be employed otherwise-of the bride

Animals as Sailors.

A French scientist, according to the
Paris correspondent OF the London
Express. has made some very inter-
esting observations as to the love OF
different wild animals for the sea.
The Polar bear. he says, is the only
one that takes to the sea. and is quite
jolly when aboard ship. All Others
violently resent a trip on water, and
vociferously give vent to their feelings
until sea sickness brings silence.
The tiger suffers most of all. The
mere sight of ship makes him un-
comfortable. and when on board he
whines pitifully. his eyes water con-
tinually, and he rubs his stomach win
his terrible paws.
Horses are very bad sailors, and Of
ten perish on sea voyage. Oxen are
heroic In their attempts not to give
way to sickness. Elephants do not like
the sea, but they are ameuable to
medical treatment. ~. .s iFbo.i lp =

Endurance and Quality.

The connection between a horses
staying power or endurance and its
quality is frequently seen when sub
jected to severe road work, but the
reason for the connection Is not SO
plainly evident. The fine skin, that Is
one of the features of high quality, is
considered to be of value for what 1t
tells of the internal organization of
the animal. for II may be said. In a
general way, that the one skin covers
the horse internally as well as exter-
nally.
The inner coat of the skin which
covers the ribs and all external parts
is a continuation of that which lines
the stomach and intestines. II the
skin covering the internal region is
soft, fine and pliable It indicates that
the secretions are healthy and II
would seem natural to reason from
this that the lining of the stomach
would be In the same state, and IL such
Is the case 1t Is in a better condition
to digest the food that goes into It,
thereby increasing the horses recuper-
ative powers and endurance.-John A.

Habits In a Child.

The following is taken from paper
on Habits and Will by Mrs. Theodore

like their opposites, are absorbed by
the child from those with whom he
is most closely associated. 1t is in
these attributes that an ounce of ex-
ample outweighs pound Of precept.
Il is charming custom to lose no
opportunity either in reading fiction
or in the circumstances attending on

siastic appreciation Of the good, the

BuYlnu a Volcano.

The value OF the Mexican volcano
Popocatepetl as a sulphur mine is ex-
planned in Pages Magazine. Its own
er, General Casper Sanchez Ochoa, re-
ceived 1t from the government In rec
ognition of certain services, and 10
said to have offered 1t for $4,000, ,OO-a
bargain, considering the millions of
dollars worth Of sulphur 1t contains.
Two parties are declared to be bid
ding for 1t. one backed by John d.
Rockefeller and the other by John p.
and Samuel Green of Pittsburg. There
are two schemes by which 1t is pro-
posed to work the sulphur mine. One
Is to tunnel into the volcano at about
600 yards below the crater, and to re-
move the sulphur by cable conveyor
carrying buckets 100 feet apart. These
will dip into the red hot molten sui
phur and bring 1t out, the buckets tray-
cling 200 feet per minute. The esti-
mated cost of this equipment is about
$500,000.

crater down into the sulphur lake, but
1t is questionable If sufficient founda-
ton is available to sustain the heavy
support that would be necessary. For
many generations this sulphur has
been mined in a crude fashion, and 1t
Is believed to be inexhaustible. Its
market price at present is $40 per ton.
Volcano sulphur from Sicily has in
the past furnished the principal sup
ply.
