NOTES OF THE MODES.
Dress Mate eriaIs, Trimmings and Oth- CT Finery for Spring and
 Summer Costumes.

Mercerized cotton canvas and eta mlne Weaves are among the inex- penslve dress materials for early sum- mer wear.
 The floral and oriental embroid cries in silk or fast dye cotton used on many of the white shirt waists and blouses are very effective, says the New York Post.
 Pipings, strappings and milliners' fold are used on new dress models, and for these plaids in satin, taffeta and panne, as well as in many silk and wool fabIics, shot silks, polka dotted goods of different kinds, moire embroidered cloth, velvet and fancy gimps are used.
 A drop-shoulder yoke and Monte Carlo bolero fronts are the features of new blouse, which is suita ble for silk or soft woolens. Either the bell or the full-length bishop sleeve may be used with this model, and the dec- orations are simple machine stitch ing, or Hercules braid and tailor but tons.
 A new spring skirt that is particu- larly adapted to narrow-width ma terials is of nine-gored faring shape, the seams Tapped, strapped, or in plain style. The back breadths are box plaited, and the use of the shaped hip yoke is optional.
 The Louis Seize coat will be re- vived this spring. It is made with a flat knife-plaited postillion back, the. plaits in graduated or jabot ef- feet at the lower edge showing the plain or. fancy silk lining. Embroi- dered satin revers turn away from a vest of soft lace, with rich medal. lioned tabs falling over it from the neck. The collar and folded belt reach across the front only, and cost ly cut jet buttons are used to finish each side.
 Swinging cords, frogs, brande- bourgs, buttons, fancy gimps and similar military effects will be used on many of the spring jackets, coats and basque bodices.
 Round hats, turbans and toques in white French felt are popular for evening wear. trimmed with soft white plumes, and toned with velvet, and matching shaded velvet flowers of some becoming color. For 8 woman who desires an evening hat that is not gay or over youthful in effect, one of cream-white felt, with black and white trimmings of plumes and velvet, is most satisfactory. This hat goes we'll with almost any cos tune.

HOW to seuarate stamns.

It is often desired to separate postage stamps that are stuck together without destroying the paste, so that they can be used without another application of paste, says the Scientific American. This can be done by dipping the stamps in water for a few seconds (not as long as is usually done), shaking off the excess of water and heating with Q match as much as possible without burning. The heat expands the water between the stamps and separates them, so that they can be easily pulled apart. They are then ready for use.

INQUEST AT BUFFALO
Daughter of Late E. L. Bur-
 dick on the Stand.
NO LIGHT ON THE MURDER MYSTERY

Family Physician and Servant, Also
 Several Others, Testify, but NOth-
 ing Ks EIicited to Aid I'm
 Clearing Up Case.
 BUFFALO, March 17.-Miss Marion Bardick, the pretty, rosy checked daughter of the late Edwin l.. Burdick, was the most interesting witness at the inquest before Judge Murphy yester- day. Marion is sixteen years old and bears striking resemblance to her mother. Like Mrs. Hull, she volun- teered no information. She answered in monosyllables whenever possible. It was "Yes" or No" or when those re- plies would not suffice she used as few words as possible. She was not easily confused, and there was no sign of agi- tation or emotion when the district at torney questioned hef closely regarding the events that occurred at the time her father was murdered.
 MT. Coatsworth began by speaking kindly to the girl and carefully choos- ing his words in putting questions to her. Later he fired questions in rapid succession, all of which were met with replies both sharp and decisive. At one time when the district attorney asked the same question several times Mar ion caused murmur in the courtroom by raising her voice sharply in clear, emphatic ''I don't know Nothing of importance was elicited from the young girl while she was on the stand, and the district attorney gave her up in de- spair.
 Dr. William M. Marcy, the family physician and the first person to see the dead body after the murderer GOV cred it up, was the first witness of the day. Dr. Marcy admitted that he told Dr. Rowland, the medical examiner, that if it was suicidal or looked suicidal it would be all the better for the fam fly to make it out case of suicide. Later he agreed with Dr. Rowland that suicide was untenable
 Katie Koenig, the second servant of the Burdick household, was asked if Mrs. Hull had beer near the furnace on the morning after the murder. She did not know
 Hackmen Delahunt and Jeddo and Patrolman Meyer were the other wit nesses examined. Their testimony was brief
 None of the testimony elicited during the day gives promise of materially aiding the authorities i'll clearing up the Ashland avenue mystery.

rails were slippery with ice, so the car crawled along the discouraging slowness. While near the out end ot the line the fuse blew out. The mo- torman found his supply of fuses ex- hausted and the passengers for a time contemplated the prospect ot walking few miles apiece. The mo- torman entered the car and asked the women passengers for contributions of hairpins. He got couple dozen of them. The metal was soft, but it was found that a hairpin would carry the car four blocks before it melted After that distance another was inserted. In this way the car finally reached it's destination. If there had been no women on the car all would have had to walk.

Indeed many of these appear to be built on a plan to make the work as hard as possible. A writer in the Coun- try Gentleman thinks that great many of these inconveniently arranged Kitchens might with little wise plan ming be remodeled in way to make the housekeeper's work at least 50 per cent easier, and that, too, at but slight expense, and he says:
 A part of these conveniences that are figured are of nature to be added to the kitchen furnishings at any time. Among these is the kitchen cabinet, which on baking days at least ought to save much running hither and thither of tired feet. In this cabinet can be placed every article that is used in cooking, from the pots and kettles to the ginger and soda. There are draw CTS enough to contain all the ingredi- euts used'in cooking

Churh, in Springfield, Mass. that the

Dr. Mills, to whom credit is univer-
