Blouse jackets make the favorite
wraps for general wear and are seen In
all the latest models both for suits and
separate coats. The very stylish May
Manton model illustrated in the large
drawing shows the new fiat collar and
trimming. but can be left plain and
without the basques as shown in the
small sketch when preferred. The orig
lnal Is made of flecked cheviot in
gray and white, stitched with corticclli
silk and trimmed with pipings of dark
gray and drop ornaments and makes
part of costume. but all suitings and
Jacket materials are appropriate.
The jacket consists of fronts and
back and Is fitted By means of shoulder
and under-arm seams. The back Is
plain. but the fronts are gathered and
blouse slightly and becomingly. Tho
little capes are attached to the stinp
trimming and are arranged over the
neck. The sleeves are full and finished
with becoming cuffs, nut the straight
narrow ones can be substituted II de,

"sHowEp" ELECTRICITY.

Storms of colored rain and snow
which have occurred in foreign lands
from time to time should give rise to
far less wonder than storm which
occurred in the United States not long
ago. and which may well be called
4 storm of electric light"
Lieutenant John 7. Finley. Ninth
United States Regular Infantry, n
meteorologist. well known in this coun-
try, was witness of the phenomenon,
which occurred while he was making
an ascent of Pixies Peak, Colorado.
To him the storm seemed like a
shower Of "cold fire." This curious
appearance was due to the fact that
every fake was charged with electric
lty-to such an extent. indeed, that
when It came In contact with the hair
OF the mule ON which the lieutenant
was riding, It discharged electric sparks
with slight detonations.
When the storm increased I'm fury
and the fakes came down thicker and
faster. each fake emitting a spark OF
electric light, the sight was truly mag.
nificent. After the fakes reached the
ground or other resting place the cleo
tric display ceased. until the snow was
again put In motion. when the dis.
charges were repeated.

sPCRs on IT'S WINGS.

One of the most remarkable cUriosl-
ties in the world, probably, in the
bird line. is the kamlchi, the wing Of
which is armed with spurs. This odd
creature is found in Brazil, Gulna
and Colombia. and inhabits the deepest
forests along the water courses.
This large black bird is very remark.
able for the strength of its voice, which
has powerful and peculiar cultural
notes. 1t bears on each wing two
powerful spurs. and on its head a point
ed horn. three or four inches long.
The two spurs on each wing are di-
rected forward when the wing Is
folded.
These spurs are the outgrowtb of the
metacarpal bone. and arise from the
anterior part of the two extremities OF
this bone. The upper spur is larger
and is triangular, about two inches
long and slightly curved at the end.
T. party of explorers and naturalls's
captured one recently, which is now in
the London Geological Garden. 1t Is
very tame in its demeanor toward hu.
man beings, but puts itself on the de.
fensive as soon as it sees dog. 1t
knows how to make such good use Of
its spurs that 1t can put the enemy to
flight by a single stroke. Besides these
weapons on its wings the kamlchi has
a very strong beak and hard and re.
slstant claws.

Tom Thumb Of eQuines. which is ap-

three pounds, though fat and plump.
The pony Is seven years old and Is

most as remarkable as his diminutiye

that it is the oblong- g-headed people
who are generally not content to take
things as they happen and make the
most Of their position in a philosophi-
cal spirit. This condition is not pc
culiar to Spartanburg. 1t Is the case
everywhere. l recall many years ago

vanced for 1t which 1 do not now re-

Is probably the only town in the Terri
tory of its size and age that has no
graveyard. Asher is year old and has
population of over 1000 people, and
the place is built up with substantial
business blocks and modern residences,
but has no burial place. The few peo.
pie that have died in the section have
been buried at other points. Owing to
its high location. fine drainage and
abundance of artesian water. Asher is

Almost Lived There.

During a recent burglary epidemic
In the country an inspector of the po-
lice force one night made a tour
through the burglarized district. Con-
siderably after midnight he saw a
young man emerge noiselessly from u
substantial homestead, and made after
him.
did you just come out of that cor
ner house?" the inspector asked, over
hauling him.
The young man. while of respectable
appearance. was plainly i'll at ease and
confused. IL did," he said.
"Do you live there" demanded the
inspector.
"Well, almost" was the embarrassed
answer. But can't see that it's any
of your business, as long as her father
doesn't object. ."--Tit.Bits.
