Dress Hats.

The most recent development Of fam
cy in hats for elegant dress in summer
are those which are made effectively
Of embroidered null and laces. The
muslin and the laces in these hats
show specially designed crown tops
and brim coverings, and these in the
making up Of the hats are stretched
tightly and smoothly over the wire
frame, the creation being transparent
or semitransparent, according to the
absence of lining or the character Of
the lining employed.
A large hat with wide and medium
low square crown and brim faring
around the front and dropping at the
back, of white embroidered null, faced
with folds of white tulle and the crown
lined with a single ply Of tulle, the
crown and the brim edged with clus-
ter of tulle folds, has the crown encir-
cled with two smoothly laid bands Of
folded white satin ribbon, and a little
to the left of the front of the crown a
tuft Of three demilong curling ostrich
tips, posed upright and nodding for

Useful Light.

Stationed off the island of Islay, on
the west coast Of Scotland, at the OF
ter rock, there is an interesting and
novel Hghtship, which is described in
Cassell's Magazine.
1t is unnamed, yet it can be relied
on to display the warning light to
guide the mariner on this dangerous
coast. 1t is a very ingeniously con-
structed vessel and the only one of its
kind in existence. In it's two steel
tanks sufficient gas can be stored to
supply the vessel for several months.
Experiments have shown that the
light may be depended upon to burn
continuously for months at time. The
approximate duration of the light can
always be predetermined, and there is
no danger whatever Of the light being
extinguished either by wind or spray.
The light is visible at a distance Of
eight to twelve miles. The lightship
also has a bell which is made to ring
automatically by means of an ingeni-
GUS device which utilities the gas as it
passes from the tanks to the lantern to
work the bell clapper. The light is not
interfered with in the slightest degree
by the device for striking the bell.

The eaper of Toda~.

Only paper Of the very best quality
is now made from rags, the bulk of
that employed for newspaper and book
work being manufactured from wood
pulp. Other materials are also coming
into use to meet the enormous demand
for paper, and plants which were at
one time supposed to be of 40 econom-
ic Importance are contributing their
fiber to the manufacture. Among the
new materials may be named bagasse,
the refuse of the sugar mills, formerly
a waste product save that 1t was en-
ployed for fuel. Rice straw. long only
used as bedding for cattle, is also en-
listed in the service of the paper maker.
In the meantime protests are being
raised against the quality of the paper
made from these substitutes for rags.
1t answers the purpose Of ephemeral
literature, but there is good reason to
believe that it rapidly deteriorates and
that books made of it will have but a
short life. 1t is somewhat humiliating
for us to have to acknowledge that our
modern documents cannot compare in
permanence with those written on
Egyptian papyrus before our own his
torical period began.-Chambers' Jour-
nal

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with it's
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures
colds and grip efectually and perma-
nently, but prevents these diseases
from resulting in Pneumonia. 1t is
also certain cure for Group. Whooping
cough is not dangerous when this rem
edy is given. 1t contains no opium or
other harmful substance and may be
given as confidently to baby as to an
adult. 1t is also pleasant to take
When all of these facts are taken
into consideration it is not surprising
that people in foreign lands, as we'll as
at home, esteem this remedy very
highly and very few are willing to take
any other after having once used it.

American slang In French.

More than one friend of Paul du
Chaillu knows why he died poor.
Though large sums of money were Civ
en- him by persons who believed in his
work, he was equally generous in CIV
ing to others. Both in London and
Paris many stranded Americans owe
their return passage to his generosity.
He used to laugh himself sometimes at
the manner in which he was worked"
One night at the Alhambra, in Lon
don, Du Chaillu was entertaining two
sportive but impecunious young men
from New York who had gone to him
with letters of introduction. A friend
who knew Du Chaillu and was sur
prised to see him playing the host in
this manner said in French:
.Hello, Paul. What are you doing
here?"
II am doing nothing" replied Du
Chaillu in French, knowing that his
sportive acquaintance did not under
stand the language; Il am simply be-
ing DONE"

NEW SHORT STORIES


Court officials returning from Sire
litz, where they attended the diamond
wedding Of tile grand duke and Ouch
ess, say the grand duke told the follow
ing anecdote at the state dinner. Said
his royal highness:
among the guests at my nuptials
with the daughter Of the Duke Of
Cambridge was the late King Ernest
Augustus of Hanover, who, arriving
somewhat late, discovered that Prince
Consort Albert had assumed the pre-
negatives Of the first guest, though
they clearly belonged to him, Ernest
Augustus. The prince consort had even
gone SO far as to sign the marriage
contract before that document was
submitted to the king of Hanover.
Consequently Ernest Augustus was
mad clear through, and, seeing that
the procession to the dining room was
forming, stepped up. to Queen Vic
toria and offered her his arm. lex
cuse me, cousin she said; it was ar
ranged that Albert is to conduct me-
"'Never mind the arrangements re-
piled the king. It's my privilege to
conduct you, and / will exercise it to
my fullest capacity Saying this, he
pressed Victoria's arm closely to his
side.
'The queen tried to withdraw her
arm and nearly succeeded, but Angus
tus caught her hand and held it as in
a wise.
@'You hurt, said Victoria, with a cry
Of pain.
every sorry indeed replied the
king, but I won't let go of that royal
hand. It's mine for this occasion, and
don't you forget It, The queen finally
saw there was no use protesting and
marched away with his resolute maj
esty."

To Prevent Stretching.

Box or side plaits running the full
length of the skirt in front and back,
with hip yoke at the sides, are espe-
cially favored for the walking skirt,
and here again a slight precaution in
regard to the unlined skirt will save
trouble. A strip of silk lined cloth
tackled inside the broad front and back
box plaits and holding them in place to
point below the hips will prevent a
stretching which is almost inevitable
without such precaution and would
spoil the snug fit of the skirt around
