SAW HIS SWEETHEART.
How Col. Burr Made Two Informal
Calls on Her During the ReyO-
lutiOnnry War.

In January of 1879 Col. Burr was
given command of the Zines" in West
chester county, N. Y. 1t was at this
time that he first met Mrs. Provost,
the widow of a British officer, says q
writer in Woman's Home Companion.
She lived across the Hudson, some Ii
miles from the Shore, but the river
British, and the land by their SEN
tries.
In spite of these difficulties, how
ever, Burr managed to make two calls
upon Mrs. Provost during the winter,
both of them necessarily informal.
He sent six of his trusted soldiers to
a place on the Hudson, and under the
overhanging bank they moored a
large boat, we'll supplied with blankets
and buffalo-robes. At nine o'clock in
the evening he left White Plains,
mounted on the smallest, swiftest
horse he could procure, and when he
reached the rendezvous, the horse was
quickly bound and laid in the boat.
Burr and the six troopers stepped
in, and in half an hour they were
across the river. The horse was lifted
out, unbound, and with little rub
hing was ready for use. Before mid
night he was at the home of his be-
loved, and at four in the morning he
came back to the troopers awaiting
him on the river bank, and the return
trip was made in the same manner.

Seasonable Fashion Gossip

tity of beautiful lace. The enormous
black picture hat, with its large feath-
er dropping right onto the shoulder,
still holds its own.
And here amongst the best and new
est modes you see how very full the
skirts are becoming. The loose blouse
bodice seems to be no more, but
though there is tendency to wear
tight-fltting bodices, the lines of souple
elegance, which have been character
istic of La Mode for so long, are still
preserved.
The waistband, for instance, shows
tendency towards tightness. 1t is
so much boned that it almost forms
corset in itself, and some of the
most charming early Victorian fichu
effects are enhanced by the addition
of beautifully fitted, pointed waist
bands.
Personally, like the fuller skirts.
Serpentlike draperies are now only
permitted in frocks for house wear.
The new full skirt of the moment is
a triumph of elegance, and whether
it be long or short, it has a most dis.
tingue air.
There are, as usual, great many
after-season weddings coming off dur.
ing the next few weeks, and in view
of the vexation of spirit caused by the
effort to think of something pretty and
original for the bridesmaids to wear
at a time when fashions are somewhat
at standstill, l will describe the
dainty bridesmaids gown which is
pictured, and which I saw recently.
1t is of palest yellow mousseline de
sole. The bodice. has a transparent
yoke Of ecru-tinted lace, and deep
gagged berthe edged with deep tucks
and fastened in front with bunch of
russell brown velvet ribbon, which is
also used for the sash and to trim
the full elbow sleeves. The skirt is
gathered on the hips, and gagged and
tucked from the knees to the hem.
The picture hat accompanying this
dress is of brown beaver with the new
jampot crown. Each of the brides.
maids should carry a marquise stick
with a bouquet of chrysanthemums
tied to it with the palest yellow
steamers, similar to the one shown
in the sketch. 1t is very pretty
fashion, that Of dressing the brides
maids in the color of the flowers they
are to carry, and the chrysanthemum
scheme just described is quite ideal
for an autumn wedding. for It is light
opd dainty without looking unseason.
able or chilly.
For a brides dress, white mousse.
line de sole is very suitable ma
terial. To have the wedding dress
made on somewhat the same lines Of
the bridesmaids frocks has been one Of
the unwritten laws of the past season,
and it is very good rule, too, for it
prevents the wedding cortege looking
''patchy."

brim rolled up over the crown, and
filled in with ruchings of pale straw
berry satin. The only trimming on
the upper part of the hat was bird
of the parrakeet species, with plumage
of every imaginary shade of pink and
red. Many milliners are also making
up colored chenille hats and toques in
brown, green and mauve, trimmed
with speckled and parti-colored birds
and wings.
The close-fitting Tudor toque will
be much en- evidence among the early
autumn models in velvet and silk.
The French sailor and the Toraador
are giving place to the Robespierre,
showing high crown and a wider
brim in front, but caught abruptly up
at the back, where great, thick choux
rest on the couture, which, by the way,
is mostly high once again over here.
A great many of the new hats are
trimmed with ruches of satin Or vel
vet, and with wings across the back
For the moment travelling hats in
soft chip and Panama, simply trimmed
with foulard scarves, are en- evidence,
and these will gradually give place to
felts. Nowadays, if we visit the lead
ing tailors and hatters we can get
toques admirably suited to outdoor
sports, but these are specialties which
do not come into the category of new
millinery. 1t is only within the last
few years that we have been able to
really look our best when wearing
practical headgear; to do so now still
needs care and discrimination, for
soft, picturesque headgear is more
suited to the majority of women than
a tweed cap. But with skilful manipu-
lation of the brim and careful choice
of colors leading milliners have
achieved success in this line.

TRANSPARENCY OF FLESH.
Actinic Rays of the Sun Pass Through
Human Cheek and Affect Photo
graphic Dry Plate.

Dr. J. w. Kline, in an article contribut-
ed to the Scientific American, gives de-
tails of some experiments that show
that sunlight will penetrate in COM
paratively short time through consid-
cradle thickness of flesh. He bound to-
gether small negative and gelatino-
bromide plate of the ordinary kind
(that is, not specially sensitized for
COLOR, and put the combination be-
tween the teeth and the cheek of the
subject, taking suitable precautions that
no light should enter the mouth. The
cheek was then exposed to direct sun
shine in February for 40 seconds, and
in every case it proved that the image
was developable. One man had thick,
short black beard, and this lessened the
exposure effect somewhat. Another
was negro, with thick, dark cheek;
here the diminution in the light trans
mitted was still more marked. No steps
were taken to interfere with the circu-
lation of the blood, and DR.. Kline con-
siders that his experiments show that
it is not necessary, as has been stated,
to compress the parts to free them from
blood as far as possible when light is
used as surgical agent DR.. Kline also
states that his experiments show why
red light is valuable in the treatment of
smallpox. They prove that no chem
ical light of any consequence reaches
the patient" when red curtains are fixed
over the windows, etc., and so irritation
is prevented and subsequent disfgure-
ment lessened. But, as the Photographic
plates used were not sensitive to red
light, the soundness of this deduction
from the experimental results may be
doubted.

Easy to Get.

Pierpont, o., Oct. 5th.-Remarkl ble in
deed is the experience of Mr.. A. 5. Turner, q
man now over seventy-one years OF age, and
whose home is here.
For many years this old gentleman had
suffered with a very unpleasant form OF Kid
ney Trouble, a kind that very often both
ers aged people. He would have to get up
four or five times every night, and this very
tiresome disease was fast wearing him
out.
At last after having almost made up his
mind that he would never be able to get re-
lief, he stumbled over medicine which re-
leved him almost Immediately, and has cured
him permanently. 1t is so very easy to get
and SO simple that Mr.. Turner thinks every
one should know it. Every dealer in the
country has it, and all you have to do is to
ask for Dodd's Kidney Pills Mr.. Turner
says
Il can heartily and honestly recommend
Dodd's Kidney Pills, for they cured me. Sew
eral others in the family have used them, too,
and always with the best results. l think

He Won.

Like other men of prominence, Admiral
Dewey often comes across the irresponsible
party, who always affects to be on terms
of intimacy with notable persons. Courte-
profound dislike for this sort of nuisance,
and does not hesitate to show the feeling.
Not long ago, while out walking in Washing
ton, he was accosted by an ELUSIVE stranger,
who grasped his hand and said: George,
I'll bet you don't know me-" The admiral
looked his displea;ure as he answered, grim
ly: You win, t" and walked on.-Detroit Free

note of him, the lads face lost its ami
nation.
For a minute or two the prospectors
stood, awaiting an invitation to sit
and eat. "How-how!" they repeated,
with great friendliness.
For answer several Indians again
grunted sourly. Some were busted
with eating, but all stared hard at the
strangers, taking in every detail OF
their dress, but with eyes resting long
est upon the handles of their shining
new weapons.
Howl" said a big Indian, presently,
extending his hand in token that he
wished to examine one of Tins re-
volvers.
For answer the prospector drew the
weapon, tossed his Ashley" hat high
in the air and shot two holes through
it. AS the hat fell the nearest Ute
seized upon it and passed it from hand
to hand, while the Indians examined
the ragged tears in its crown with as
constituent and admiration.
"How-how-how!" they exclaimed,
and Tim and Henry now squatted in
Indian fashion at fire.
They sat opposite each other, that
either might observe all movements
in the rear of his fellow. While Tim
reloaded the chambers of his Colt one
of the Utes brought two pieces of meat,
spitted upon sticks, and signed to the
strangers that they should cook and
eat. The prospectors Immediately set
their spits to roast, while they kept
keen but careless eyes upon the crowd
about them.
Evidently the Utes had been not
little taken aback at their sudden ap-
pearance and the manner of it. The
savages were in a quandary. They
guage, but shifted into uneasy groups,
and cast frequent suspicious glances
at the timber-fringed crest whence the
newcomers had descended.
Tim and Henry grinned at each
other with an air of utmost confidence.
They suddenly arose and kicked their
friZzling roasts into the fire. AS quick
as thought, Vesey stepped across to
the captive boy, seized the lad by his
shoulder and set him upon his feet.
The Utes sprang to their feet with
angry cries. They had their weapons
in hand, but before man could fit
an arrow to his bowstring the pros
pectors had whipped out their re-
volvers, one in each hand, and were
backing away with the boy between
them
In the face of those cleaning
weapons and the flashing eyes which
glanced along their barrels, the Utes
hesitated In that instant a rifle
cracked upon the ridge and bullet
whizzed its warning above their heads.
The startled Indians looked upward
to white wreath of smoke upon the
bluff and then bolted for their horses.
They were followed by more shots
from the ridge, while the boy marched
between his rescuers, stretching his
hands to the heights and shouting joy
fully:
Padre milo! Padre mio!"
The lad made no question that his
father was at hand.
The meeting between these two was
one which the prospectors could never
forget.
And this had been brought about by
bloodless victory, won by keen
strategy and high moral and physical
courage.-Youth's Companion.

cling and morning hats; in fact, there
is evidence of "feathery" winter in
front of us. The three hats sketched
show exactly the characteristic fea-
lures of the new winter morning hats
The French sailor on the left is Of
black and white felt, trimmed with
white wings and a chou of black silk
ribbon. On the right is one of the
glorified fanny toques, which are so
nice for travelling and golf; it Is
mounted, as all tammys should be, on
circular bandeau, cut very deep at
wings and twist of ribbon. The
third hat is sketched with view to
meeting of the requirements of the
sportswoman. 1t is made Of stitched
cloth or tweed, matching the costume
with which it is to be worn, and has
two pheasant quilts held in place by
small clasp at the left side, and
loops of ribbon at the back.
1t seems that we are also to have
revival of the high "jam-pot" crowns
and sharply-turned-up brims for smart
winter headgear. These hats usually
have rather high outstanding trim
ming of ostrich plumes, or else one
long feather curling over the turned
up brim. Beavers, too, will have
quite vogue of their own; I have
