Recoverable Waste.
From Casters Magazine.


The utilization of what formerly were
considered waste products and the resur-
rection of materials from a used-up state
to new condition of rviceableness have
in recent times been developed to such a de-
gree of completeness that we are scarcely
prepared to admit that anything is ever
irrecoverably lost. In this respect we be-
lieve in the conservation of material just as
we have long been taught to believe in the
law of conservation of energy. From a
purely practical point of view, however,
some things certainly may be so completely
lost to further use that their loss may well
be considered absolute. and one of these is
the metal lost in the wear OF railway rolling
stock brasses. For the speculator in copper
values. the promoter of a copper corner
to use the brokers' cant, the copper which
has gone into railway brasses need have no
terrors. 1t is not likely ever to be available
again in full measure. 1t is dissipated so
completely In part at least, that its prac-
tical recovery is not likely to receive much
serious consideration From the best avail
able deductions on the subject 1t appears
that per cent of the annual copper produc-
ton of the world disappears In this way
every year.

Evening Dresses.
The evening toilet, which had been de-
signed for a woman whose fifty years and
snowy hair sit upon her like a glory, began
with q black satin princess dress. The

White or black lace caps made in tiny
squares are sometimes worn by old ladies
in the house, and sometimes the cap is in

may hang straight or be pinned at the
breast with a handsome brooch. When
such drapery frames a fair old face and

From the London ChToucle.
In view of LORD Curzon's tour in the
Persian gulf, attention is being focused on
the dominions of the shah. Mr. ]. d. Rees
who lectured on Persia" at the London
Institution yesterday afternoon, had a good
deal to say of the manners and customs
of the people with whom he is so familiar
With regard to the veil worn by the ladies,
he thinks It IS more of a privilege than a
punishment. Screened behind it, woman
may walk wherever she pleases, and even
her husband dare not question ner move
ments. Doubtless many Persian ladies'
make the most of their opportunities. The
PersianS, as a rule, do not think it right to
take vile, but as nearly all their poetry is
in praise of the flowing bowl, ii will be
inferred that they frequently do violence to
their conSciences Occasionally, however
they are seized with remorse; whereupon
they destroy the wine of their American
neighbOrs.

For the Christmas Table.

The newest idea for the Christmas table
decoration is a centerpiece of bright red
satin ribbon. The wide doubla-faced ribbon
is arranged in outstanding loops in the
center, and smaller bows and ends finish
the decoration. On some of the bows arti-
fetal or real holly is dotted, but most of
the centerpieces depend for artistic effect
upon their own graceful arrangement and
beauty of coloring.
Long streamers radiate from the bow
and end at each plate. All the shops
either keep these centerpieees or will make
them up in any color desired.
