LATEST FAOS IN SPRING
APPAREL AND MILLINERY
LUCY CARTER TELLS OF THE COMING STY-
LES AS INTRODUCED IN NEW YORK.
Eaton Jackets Reappear With Stunning Ef
feet - Dress makers Convention - New
Gowns and Spring Millinery.

Eton jackets reappear and this ir-
repressible little garment is in such
gradatiOns to suit every one. Long
coats rival etons in variety of material
used, but the same can hardly be
asserted IN regard to jackets in cloth
that run from twenty-four to twenty
eight inches in length. Between them
and long coats come three quarter and
even longer styles. Monte Carlo coats
however, are most in demand and
come in cloth, silk lined or unlined
and as a special novelty may be noted
examples in canvas and other goods
on the same order, some very dressy
and in light colors. The newest
feature in out door garments is that of
shoulder caper, appearing however,
chiefly in Monte Carlo and other coats.

now being held, special account is
taken of the fit of corsages and in view
of this, use is made of the Rosalind
waist adjustor, which gives the
fashionable curve. AS an encourag-
ing sign of the times moreover, such
dressing as shall permit activity in
women, while compelling a correct
attitude, has been a prime consider
alton. To these ends the belted hose
supporter is a powerful aid, since it
throws out the chest, flattens the back
and induces the Venus like carriage
which is so charming to all beholders.

said the seed must forever depart from

In the Starry Heaveos.

At the beginning of the twentieth
century q new star flashed out of
Perseus. 1t seems to be the herald Of
another revision of our astronomy
Professor Simon Newcomb shows rea-
son for assigning this star to the
Milky Way. and that conservative
estimate is that it's light-traveling at
$4,000 miles second-must require
3,400 years 10 reach the earth. The
nebula that has spread from this star
has reached a diameter of more than
four minutes Of arc in very few
months.
The luminous flashes-or signals"
from Mars will be eagerly looked for
during the spring and early summer,
as it will be several years before the
planet will be again so favorably
situated for such observations. The
secretary of the British Astronomical
association remarks that these pheno-
mena are the most interesting yet OBJ
served, as they indicate that the planet
has either high snow mountains or
clouds.-ChicagO Post.

Would Tackle an Elephant.

"Jim" Johns, one Of the active re-
publicans OF Upton, was in the city
yesterday, and one of his friends told
a good story Oh him that dates back
two or three weeks. Johns is in In
dianapolis frequently, and on one of
his visits he was walking down Penn
sylvania street with James r. Cole and
D. j. Mendenhall, of this city, when
their attention was attracted to a
magnificent pair Of elephant tusks
that were exhibited in shop window.
They admired the ivory for several
minutes.
Great. aren't they, Jim?'' observed
Cole. Johns conceded that they were
fine, but started to remark something
to the effect that Upton county could
produce larger ones, when Cole said:
"Have you any idea how much
they're worth. jim? Those tusks rep
resent just $1,000"
Without Il word Johns turned,
walked over to the curb and began
peeping up and down the street
"What on earth are you doing?'
asked his friends.

Joined "Jim." eff I'd see one with a

At a recent dinner in Washington
Captain - Of the United States navy
told the following story about a GER
tain shallow pated naval chaplain
who was looked upon with scant re-
spect by his brother officers From
travelling salesman the man had
turned preacher, and, backed by in
f1uence, came to Washington i'll Mr..
C.eveland's time to get a naval
chaplaincy. When he was introduced
at the White House Mr.. Cleveland
looked him over in his grave, pere-
trating way and said:
''Mr. -, this is no case for ia
voritism. We want a man of merit
and ability for this post"
The applicant rejoined:
Mr. President, if it is Gods will
that go into the navy neither you
nor any one else can keep me out"
The president eyed him for a
moment and then said dryly:
"Well, Mr.. , I'll do my part,
anyway. Good morning"
"The cream of the joke is" said the
narrator that the fellow-who real
ly did get into the navy later-told
the story himself with all seriousness,
adding, "And as / left that room |

Close Calls in BOer War.

Fantastic escapes from death were
by no means uncommon features of
the Boer war. There was exhibited
some time ago in the museum of the
Royal United Service institution one
of Queen Victoria's chocolate boxes,
in the lid of which is still deeply i'm
bedued Mauser bullet. To that
same collection there has just been
added an even more remarkable relic.
This is a silver cigarette-holder case,
which was struck by bullet at
distance of 1900 yards while it was
in the pocket of captain of the
Imperial Yeomanry. The curious
part about it is that the officer was
not aware until afterward that he
had been struck, although the bullet
also pierced the sovereign purse and
cigarette case which he was carry
ing in the same pocket.-London

All sufferers from sleeplessness
should try sunshine as cure for their
woes; it is the very best soporific that
cGhere is. Many women are martyrs to
:sleeplAssness and yet they avoid the
sunshine as if it we're an evil thing
They wear wells, carry parasols, seek
the shady side of the road, and do
everything to keep off the influence Of
kindly old King Sol, whose kisses may
sometimes bring an unbecoming
amount of color to their faces, but who
gives them the beauty of healthy and
,acheerfulness. Pale and sickly looking
women may be blooming and strong if
they will but seek the sunshine, and
Ghey should make the most of it and
a0asK in it both indoors and out when
sever it is possible, needless alike of
damage to carpets or cloths from its
<5corching rays.
