 they seem to be worse off if the recorn- mendations for their department be adopted. This year that department was allowed s244,226.50. Next year s364,- 47e.66 was asked for. Instead of their getting this the board recommends that they get s2S7.034. This means that in- stead of their getting an increase that the department of public works will get just $7.192.50 less than they got last year. Director Coe stated to the board when he submitted the estimates that it would take at least $3000 to run the free public bath house. The board now proposes to allow him $1, 800 for this purpose. The department gets two in- creases, however; $1, 900 more is allowed for street cleaning next year than this, and $10,000 more is also allowed next year for the repairing of crushed stone pavements.

Mrs. Marie Zimmerman will be the soprano soloist and the other soloists are Miss Janet Spencer, contralto: Nicholas Douty, tenor, and Ericsson Bushnell, bass. These artists are too we'll known to re- comment. They have sung many times in all the greatest festivals, and are es- abolished favorites. The symphony or- chestra will number sixty performers and be augmented by musicians from New York. MT. Jepson will handle the big organ, and David Stanley Smith ac- company the recitatives on the harpsi- chord. curious musical innovation.
 In hundreds Of cities and towns in England, Germany and America will Handels immortal work be sung at this season. Well has it been termed by recent English writer that greatest oratorio ever penned." It is work for all time and for all men. In appeals to every sort oe nearer. Its solos and choruses are familiar, yet inexhaustible in their perennial freshness, beauty and grandeur. They inspire both singer and nearer alike. Who can forget after the power and sublinity of the overture beginning with it's grand and pathetic F minor common chord; how tender and restful follows the tenor aria Comfort Ye'' entrancing every heart. Then comes '"The Song of prom ise, Every valley shall be exalted with it's exquisite florid melody, and after this the first of the great Messiah choruses And the Glory Of the Lord Shall be Revealed The solo bass then thunders sorth the stern and thrilling text that speaks of One who is Hike refiner's fire.'
 To the solo contralto falls the tender, beautiful aria 70 Thou That Tellest Good Tidirgs to Zion.'
 The great so-called Christmas choruses come next that speak of the Child, the Wonderful! Counsellor! the Mighty God! the Everlasting Father! the Prince of Peace!"
 Says recent critic: we list en and are moved. even the the most apathetic of us. Fashion sinks into in- significance; the cares of daily life press less heavily upon us, as once more the pastoral symphony, with it's naive ten derness and beauty speaks of the night

MARY'S CLEVER IDEAS.
How She Transformed n Lot of Fancy
Handserchiefs Into Pretty
Christmas Gifts.

One day Mary bought at bargain
sale lot of pretty fancy kerchiefs.
Some were tritie damaged and were
sold for about one-fourth the regular
price.
Being very clever girl, she soon
transformed them into a number of
pretty gifts for her Christmas-b box, for
II is her habit to begin to plan for
Christmas quite awhile beforehand.
One pretty scalloped-border kerchief
had a hole about the size of a dollar
in the middle. The illustration will
show you how she cut it up. The
piece with incurved edge, that runs
along one full side of the kerchief,
and the two other corner-pieces were
put together to form a dainty turn
over collar. This was done by plac-
ing the cut side of the small piece un-
der the scallops on one end of the long
piece, the scallops buttonholed down
TO the under piece, and the raw edge
of linen cut away. This gave an
odd double-corner effect that was very
pretty. The two curved strips were
narrowly hemmed, crossed in the mid
die. and tied loosely, and when the
collar was set into bands of muslin
the little bow made a fitting finish for
the front
A hemmed-edge, fancy embroidered
kerchief was made into two collars

SHYNESS AND BLUSHING.
Their Origin I'm IA Lack of
SeIf-POssession.

There is probably no defect which
causes so much anguish of spirit and
discomfort as shyness and blushing.
fered from it can even begin to conceive
what torture it may cause.
Shyness may proceed from one of two
cause.-the one physical, the other
mental 1t is often an affair of health.
The nerves are out of order, and the
will becomes weak. People shrink from
their fellow creatures. and are filled
with an unreasonable horror of meeting
or speaking to them. This is often the
case after an Illness or when one has
been overworking, and strained the
physical powers too much. The best
cure for this kind of shyness is fresh
air, exercise and cheerful society.
But there Is another shyness, and one
harder to cure, which comes from men
tai causes. It's afflicted possessor may
be in robust health and yet so tor
mepted by this inward enemy that she
finds all intercourse with other people
positively alarming. To meet stran-
gers causes her a severe struggle.
In either case, the root of the matter
is self-consciousness. and it is only by
losing that self-consciousness that self
possession and confidence can be gained.
AS long as one thinks about oneself at
all, one will be liable to shyness. The
only cure is to thrust all recollection of
oneself into the background as much as
possible, when one will gradually be-
come natural, happy and at ease.
To overcome shyness and blushing
there is nothing on earth like going a
great deal into society, and every effort
possible should be made to achieve this.
This does not merely mean social life.
but intercourse with ones fellow crea-
lures. Force yourself to speak to every
one you come in contact with, no matter
what 1t costs you at first. Go on brave
ly; never mind how much you may
blush and stammer. Persist in it, and it
will grow easter and easier. Never
shrink from putting yourself into posi-
tions which may draw attention upon
you.-N. Y. Journal.

New Hair-Dressfne Idea.

Hair dressed well forward and on the
top of the head is once more becoming
the order OF the day and of the evening,
too, for that matter. 1t should be drawn
up rather close to the head at the back,
taking care, however, that it is not toe
tight just behind the ears, for this de-
tail, slight as it may seem, often cohsti-
tutes the difference between becom-
ing and a dowdy coiffure. The front
should be puffed well forward, but not
too low down over the forehead, as this
is rather apt to give a scowling aspect
to the most genial of countenances. The
width of the head should be accentuated
as little as possible, except In those
cases where the face is already very
long and requires a broader effect to be
impaired by the hair.-Chicaco Exam.

TO DESTROY DERELICTS.
Congress Expected TO Provide for the
Construction OF Vessel To Rid the
Sea Of Dangerous Crafts.

1t is more than likely that at the
coming session of congress an appro-
priation will be made for the con-
struction of derehct destroyer for
the bureau of navigation of the de-
partment of commerce and labor. n
vessel of this sort would not cost
more than 100000, and should be an
enlarged model of the present ocean
going tug, its mission being the tow
ing to shore of derelicts rather than
their demolition on the high seas.
About decade ago a proposition
to have the several powers cooperate
in the construction of such a vessel
met with a decided repulse at the
hands of European countries which
were invited to enter Into the scheme,
the United States being as good as
told that the large majority of the
derelicts that were encountered on
the Atlantic by liners and merchants
vessels were boats of this country,
and that it was the business of the
United States to destroy them and
not to suggest that other nations as
sist in the work
Although this was in large
measure true, the menace of such
abandoned vessels was as great to
other nations as to the United
States, and this country at that time
thought that those placed in jeopar-
dy should take upon their shoulders
portion of the cost of ridding the
seas of them. Nearly all of the
abandoned vessels found in the lanes
of the Atlantic and along the coast
of the United States are lumber-laden
American schooners. The character
of their cargoes prevents their sink
ing, and they float about the ocean
constant menace to commerce. AS an
old member of the bureau of naviga-
ton said: They are the only craft
permitted to sail the high seas with
out lights" The United States has
reached the conclusion that the onus
lies here, and following up this will
probably provide for the vessel to
rid our coast of them.

for two small sisters, it being nearly
large enough to go around their necks
as it was. A ruffie of inch-wde lace
finished the edges. After cutting the
collars from the two opposite sides,
| there remained strip about five inches
wide through the center. The hand
kerchtef was scorched down the middle
fold, but was otherwise good. So
this strip was divided in two, each
hemmed and made into tiny bows for
the closing Of the collar.
Two embroidery edged ones had
the scalloped edges a little defective,
so of them she made a sofa-pillow
| cover. Two squares of prettily coIored
cloth were chosen, each being about
four inches larger than the kerchiefs.
and one kerchief laid in the center of
each. Then with a contrasting shade
of silk thread the scallops were fas-
tened to the foundation with button
hole stitch. A cord finished the edge
of the pretty cover

gathered it along the edge. and Slip
| ping it over the bottle, drew the strings
| tightly around the neck of the bottle
A little round cap of blue was drawn
smoothly over the top, and sewn firm
ly to the gathers at the neck. This
gave a sort of full-skirt appearance tc
the bottom of the cover. The kerchief
was laid over the top of the bottle
with the center exactly in the middle
of the opening, then with bit of
No. 2 pale blue ribbon it was tied
about the neck of the bottle, and fin
ished with a fluffy bow. AS this
was a deeply embroidered pattern in
very "holey" design, the effect was
very dainty. 1t can be kept dainty,
as the kerchief cover is easily re-
moved and washed.
Another whole" kerchief helped
beautify a little basket. This was
an embroidered silk one, of the style
now used for nothing save fancy work.
She chose one of the little Japanese
"jinko," or ball-baskets, and measured
the distance from the mouth, clear
around the basket, and back again to
the other side of the mouth Then she
added two inches to that measure, and
drew circle on the kerchief that was
the same as this in diameter. She
gathered along this line, using the
over-and-over stitch, and doing it on
the right side of the handkerchief. The
handkerchief being white, with pink
embroidery, she lined the basket with
q bit of pink silk, bringing the lining
edges well over to the outside of the
basket She then set the little basket
into the bag made of the kerchief,
and drawing the string until the bag
opening just fitted that of the basket,
she caught 1t fast with invisible
stitches. A string of small pink beads
was sewed on as you would apply a
cord finish. This was for use on the
dresser. to hold collar buttons.-May
