Long sashes are particularly charming
this season because Of the exquisite texture,

designs in inset lace or in baby ribbon

The number Of girls who desire to pos

number of girls in the world. Every young
woman in the broad land wants a pair Of
pretty wrists with hands to match. But
how few have them!
The wrists must be plump, though not
large, and they should be OF pure cream
color White wrists denote poor health
while the wrists that show blue veins and
heavy cords indicate q delicacy OF con-
stitution that augurs badly for ripe old
age.
The wrists Of pretty girl should be
nearly round, though they should not be
so plump as to show line or a crease run =
ming around them. From the wrists up
ward, the arm should gradually grow
plumper until 1t is lost in the curve OF the
elbow and upper arm, but it should be a
pure cream color throughout.
The hand, beginning at the wrist, should
widen toward the knuckles. which should
be plump and dimpled. The back of the
hand should be very smooth and white, and

London,s Tramc.

It is an odd reflection on the 50
years development of the railway sys-
tenn that the road beats the railway
easily in London. The street vehicles
travel 20 times as far as the train
every day, and carry more passengers.
1t may seem incredible, but it is per-
fectIy true, that the street vehicles Of
London accomplish journey every
day equal to 20 times round the earth.
It is startling, in contrast with this,
that the trains cover only $4,000 miles,
but the explanation is, of course, the
simple fact that for every train there
are about SO other vehicles. There are
always running in London between
1000 and $500 buses and trans, car
rying 100000 passengers every day,
and when all these are full there is
room left for nearly $4,000 cabs, for
which 700 stands are provided Cab

Assault and Trespass Case Tried Be
fore Justice Dayton Last Night.
An assault case was brought before
Justice H. r. Dayton last evening, the
complainant being William Kraig and
the defendant Samuel Barlow. Mr.
Kraig, who owns a large farm in the
southwestern part of the town. testi-
fed that Barlow entered his black
berry lot and when ordered to leave
he told Kraig that he and the rest of
his family had been given permission
to pick berries in Mr. Kraig's lot. Mr.
Kraig told Barlow to leave the lot and
what followed could not be determined
as both sides testified differently and
their statements were very conflicting.
However, Mr. Kraig received a bad
cut in the cheek which was caused by
a stick which Barlow had in his hand.
James G. Skilton appeared for the
complainant and s. Mclean Bucking-
ham for the defendant. In summing
up the case Justice Dayton found
Barlow guilty of trespassing on
Kraig's land for which he was fined
81 and costs and guilty of the charge
of assault, the penalty attached being

a great deal of excitement was caused
by a small fire in one of Homer Hem

A French family occupied the house
and in one of the rooms large stock
of old clothing was stored and some of
the boys about the house went into
this room and commenced scratching
matches One of the matches fell
upon the old clothing and large
flame Immediately arose. AS soon as
the older occupants of the house learn

the nearest neighbors. William Bry-

1t has been found that the rem
hants of function In those supposed to
be blind may often be so improved as
to take these patients entirely out q
the blind class and make them enjoy
aseful vision. 1t Is but corol1ary Of

called color blindness are also prevent
able Function, it must ever be re-
peated, depends upon education and
exercise, and it is a necessary part of
the great physiologic law that the per-
eeption of colors will be lost If the eye
Is not exercised in their perception.
That the defect is dependent upon
non-exercise is indicated by the fact
that it is far less common in women
than in men. In 10000 men $50 are
affected, while only nine are found in
the same number of women. The pro-
portion among savage men is less than
among civilized men. But, of course,
the education and exercise must begin
in early childhood. And there is some
proof that this exercise in childhood
does stimulate color perception, and
prevent color blindness. - American

and take courage with the thought he

posed he will be all right in month
or SO at the most. This is not always
the case, as a few instances will show.
There are cases of lovelorn vows being
made which resemble election bets.
And they have been carried out to bet
ter purpose.
Only a few weeks ago there died at
Turin Sig. Mecca, who just half
century ago, was on the eve of being
married to one of the sunniest maids
In all thatland of sunshine and spright-

as she was fair, and at the last mo-

former rival
When news of her treachery reached
Mecca he had already put on his we'd
ding garments, and he there and then
took a vow that, however long he
might live, he would never wear any
other. This vow he religiously kept
to the end of his. days, and he might
often be seen in the street Of Turin, a
grotesque, shabby, and pathetic sur
vival of the sartorial arts of the nine

REGRETTED HIS JEALOUSY.
Husbands Hnstfness Caused Him
Something of a Loss i'm p
Financial Way. Nir

A rather short and, on the whole,
somewhat Observation-Disclosures gentle
man lately married a tall, handsome
lady. He is, unfortunately for his
peace of mind, Of jealous and hasty
disposition, says London Tit-Bits.
The other evening he had left his wife
outside a tobacconist's shop while he
went in to purchase some cigars. Just
as he was coming out he saw young
fellow step up to her and raise his hat.
AS he drew near he heard the young gal
liant commence in an affectionate tone
of voice:
Excuse me, madam"
Before he could get any farther our
latter-day Othello burst on him:
Excuse me, sir, what is your bust
ness with this lady?"
.'Eh?'' returned the other, in a sur
prised and cool manner; my business
is with the lady, and no one else
.sWen, sir" said the husband, irri-
tated by what he considered the eff
frontery ofthe reply, "this lady, I'd have
you to know, is my wife" o..
Dear mel" rejoined the young man,
sarcastically, as he calmly inspected his
assailant from top to toe; really, now,
do you know, I'm astonished to hear it,"
Enraged beyond measure the hus-
band cried, fiercely: -a. sv. ...z--..1
eff you address, another word to. my
wife nj"
'I don't intend to now" broke in the
young fellow, quietly; 'tand you will
probably regret it before the day is out
Good-day to you, and off he went.
Less than half an hour afterwards the
lady missed valuable bracelet which
her husband had given her on her last
birthday. And that gentleman reluc-
family agrees with his wife that the
young man must have picked it up, and
that he was about to return it to its
owner when he was SO rudely treated.
The Lady now possesses another brace
let, so that the incident is not referred tc
so frequently as it might otherwise have
been.
