Fashions Echoes.

Dull silver and gold galloons laces and ornaments give an especial charm to this winters millinery.
 In velvet of chamois or of deeper yell low gold tint and in banana shade are constructed some of the finest cloth costumes of the full dress order.
 Single flower ornaments for the side of the head are charming.
 A sumptuous season of velvets laces and feathers is assured.
 Jaunty little muffs divide favor with the larger ones.
 A plain moleskin set minus any ad denda of ermine and other garniture has softness of color peculiarly it's own and is decidedly useful.
 Lingerie frills are the most original note of the seasons sleeves.
 There is a growing liking for simple skirts, especially when the material is soft and adapted to flowing lines.
 Crush gird!e belts are one of the popular items.
 The Eton jacket, embellished and varied in many wavs Is still favorite.

.The raIamancans of Pannma.

The Talamaneans are Indians of Pan- anna, not far from the canal and about halfway across the isthmus, says the London Globe. They live almost in the primitive style of their ancestors in the days of Columbus and have little inter- course with whites beyond trading fowls and pigs for tobacco, trinkets and ammunition. They speak their an- cient language and still use the blow gun and spear. They live in huts of palm thatch, with number of domes. tic animals-for instance, the wild deer, peccary, tapir and even the tiger cat. They hunt, fish and cultivate Indian corn and cassava. They have more fear of an evil than faith in a good spirit, are polygamists, and their sim pie government is hereditary. Their king is despot so far as custom or law permits, and their ''sokee," or med icine man, is lawyer, priest and doctor all in one. Their life is on the whole one of dreamy contentment. Apparent ly they are an inferior race to the Az tees, who probably ruled them.

F Y VI How Father Outvyitted the Plans
 of Two Young People.
 With the supposed form of his sweet heart in his arms, Eddie 0. Rowerly, a Baltimore and Ohio railroad telegraph operator, descended ten foot ladder from a window at the home of, James Hagerty in Farmington, O., the other morning, says the Chicago Inter, Ocean. When terra firma was reached, instead of lovers kiss he faced loaded re- volver in the hands of an irate father.
 In company with Miss Dayton young Rowerly cautiously proceeded to the Hagerty residence, and Miss Dayton placed ladder to the girls window. Young Rowerly mounted to the win dow and, taking the form, heavily wrapped in cloak, started to descend the ladder. The prospective groom was radiantly happy for only a short pe- riod.
 As they were reaching the ground the cloak was thrown off and the father of the girl, with pistol in hand stood be- fore the frightened lover, who took to his heels, with his companion, and noth- ing has since been heard of the pair Hagerty had been apprised of the scheme and succeeded in outwitting the plans of tho lovers.

 The commotion came rapidly toward the rock and culminated in the break ing from the water of sunfish. with a big pickerel in its wake. The terror stricken snnflsh s rush to escape its saw age pursuer took 1t foot or more be- yond the edge of the water on the slop- ing side of the rock. The pickerel, in fierce pursuit, followed the sunflsh. and the impetus of it's charge carried 1t clear through New Jersey and halfway across Pennsylvania, where 1t stopped.
 The sunfish instantly aopped back into the water. If the pickerel had been content to go on either into the water on the Pennsylvania side of the rock or the New Jersey side, it would have saved itsesss, but it turned on the rock and began Hopping back into the New York waters.
 That move was fatal Campbell re- covered from his surprise, rose to a sit- ting posture and reached for the pick erel. His middle finger ran under the gills of the fish and stopped it where 1t was. As it lay captured its position was such that 1t covered part of three states and three counties. It weighed nearly three pounds.

A Train Without Rails.

A recent copy of the Paris Matih contains some particulars of new in ven.tion which if it bears the test of ex- perience may have some considerable effect upon the loeomotion of the fu- ture, says the London Times. It is nothing less than a train without rails invented by Colonel Renard, director of the military park at Chalons-M Meudon, but as he refuses at present to discuss his invention there are few details available. It appears, however, that he has constructed train of thirty tons to test the practica bility of his idea. With this train. private experiments have been made which are said to be suffi- cient to inspire confidence. It is stated that by this novel mode of traction passengers, goods and merchandise can be conveyed to different parts of the country where there are no railway lines, while in time of war it is thought that 1t will hc invaluahlp.

Its name is the Society of Christian Israelites, and the followers are scattered through Boston proper. Somerville, Medford and Roslindale. The leader is W. B.

1t May Re RarIor, Living Room
 Sickroom on Occasion.
 A woman who is experimenting the building of a new home fs adding sun room to the apartments of the house. When her friends have asked her who is the invalid of the family for whom it is presumably designed she has replied: HsThere fS no invalid, and am hoping, by means of this very room, that there may be none. We build greenhouses for the plants we love because they grow best in the sunlight, but the human plants of our household, those we love the dearest, are often ignorantly tucked away in, north, sunless rooms, and we wonder that they languish. This sun room which we have made is on the second floor, facing east and sou9, and the architect has worked it iEeo a corner of the house plan by which the nu- merous windows that are especially large and close together are set in a sloping roof.
 ttThe room is arranged so that in case of illness it can be conveniently used independently of the rest of the house. The walls are painted, and the floor is of hard wood and will, of course, have no carpet or even rugs to gather dust and germs. Where the floor and walls join, the builder has made a curve, as is done in modern hospital buildings, instead of the usual right angle.
 ..|The furniture is to be very simple. some comfortable cane chairs and set tees and a few cushions with washa- bIe covers. We mean to uso the room as much as possible each day. The children can study there, and in win ter particularly hope for good re- suits to us all from much living in my sun parlor. For this reason have had 1t placed near other rooms of the house that we may get in the way of going there."--Table Talk.

MILK DIET FOR PUMPKINS.
Traveller Tells of Monsters Raised by
 Pennsylvania Farmers.

Traveller Tells of Monsters Raised by
 Pennsylvania Farmers.
 "Punkins,'' said the man who had returned to Fall River, Mass, from Pennsylvania, ''punkins! Why, you peo- pie hereabouts don't know what a real hblebodied punkin is. These prize af fairs that you show with so much pride at your county fairs and boast about are mere infants, pigmy babies, beside the punkins raised by the Penn sylvania farmers. Place one of your largest beside small one from Penn Eylyania, and 'twould compare about Rs a pea does with big potato.
 .'Those Pennsylvania farmers set more store by their barns than they do by their houses. You'll find a man nv- ing in place that resembles cow shed owning barn that looks like a mansion. Big barns, they are always spick and span i'll white paint and with green blinds and shutters. Their fences, too, put to shame that of the average New England farmer. Few tumble down, tottering, weather beat en fences are seen on PeQnsylvania farms. But this Is a digression. The punkins are the main thing, the pride and bulwark of the Keystone State.
 Those punkins are raised and tended as carefully as blooded stock. They feed them on milk twice a day, morn ing and night, not skinned milk ei- ther, but the best Jersey fluid, thick with cream. This milk diet is begun with the punkin of tender age and con tinued through the age of maturity. The way those milk fed punkins get fat and rotund and wax strong is al- most unbelievable. They put iron bands around them, and the punkins swell until they burst the bands as though they were paper. They are the San dows among punkins. One who has never seen Pennsylvania punkin field stumbling on one on moonlight night would think he had struck the ruins of ancient Thebes or monuments raised by giant hands
 What do they do with those pun hns?' asked a listener. K

EngIishmen Urged to Choose Wives
 Who Abjure COrsets.
 Physical cuIturists in Leeds, Eng land, have determined to wage war against corsets, says the foreign cor respondent of the Philadelphia Press. The lady members of the Leeds Socie- ty of Physical Culture have already abjured the evil things, and now the young men are called upon to have nothing whatever to say to corset wrecks unless it may be to tell them of the error of their ways and advise them to seek the paths which lead to muscle development and natural waists.
 that corset wearing. even with only moderately tight lacing, is conducive to enfeebled health. Corset wearing, say the culturists, is evil and only evil. It crushes the vital organs, weak ems digestion and destroys the lines of natural beauty, setting up in their place false ideal, as seen in the fash ionable wasp waist.
 The appeal is made principally to un- married men. They have yet, it may be, to make their choice of a partner and can, if they will, make mo cor sets condition of matrimony. The position of the married men is more difficult, andAthey are only expected to wage war gently by trying to persuade their. wives to refrain from corset wearing or, if that is una ttainable, to lead them to lace loosely. The daugh- ters of members, of the society of course are to be brought up corsetless.
