A Kidskin Waistcoat.

About the newest thing in mems
fashions" says leading haberdash-
er, though we will hardly see it hare
until the fall, is a waistcoat of kidskin
for evening wear. 1t comes fresh
from London, where it is being worn
by the ultra fashionable, though by
40 means confined to young men.
"The material is white suede kid
skin, and in appearance it looks just
like the ordinary white evening
waistcoat. 1t is not as warm as you
might suppose. 1t is cool, in fact, and
suitable for dress occasions, even in
summer. 1t will not become too com
mon, either, for the price is about SIS.
1t is ornamented with white chain
buttons, with somewhat elaborate de-
signs in gold burned into the delft
1t may sound funny, but ii looks all
right. "-Philadelphia Record.

Where colo Kllls.

Klondike River is fed by numerous
soda springs and even the winters
cold fails to close them entirely. Walk
ing on the edge Of the Ice near the
shore a miner one day slipped into
six inches OF water. In a moment he
was out and FASTENED to the brush
hard by to light fire before his feet
froze. Rapidly he cut few frag-
ments of wood with his heavy pocket
knife. But the unlighted match drop
ped from his already chilled fingers,
for he had rashly removed his nit
tens in order to use the knife with
more freedom. Then he lighted a sec
ond and third and finally several at
one time, but either his haste or per-
haps a sigh of the air caused them
to fall on the snow All this time the
frost was Selling his limbs, his body,
his heart his mind. He turned to
the fatal mittens, which he never
should have taken off, but his al
ready frozen fingers could only lift
them from the ice where they had
fallen, and after a vain attempt he
hurled them from him ard strove
once again to light last match. But
it was too late.

FUTURE SUPPLY OF MEN.
The Leaders, as in the Past, are
Rising From the Ranks.

The uperintendent of the Chicago
forward movement, which is doing
good work among the submerged, said
in an address before the women of
Chicago, says the Toledo Times, that
the larger per cent. of the men who
are to control the destinies of the
country in the coming years are to
be found in the ranks of the news
boys rather than among those who
dwell on the boulevards. Those who
have had much to do with newsboys
know that this is likely to be the
fact.
The boys who are learning to hustle
for themselves are immeasurably SUI
perior to those who are pampered
and humored and carefully guarded
and favored in the struggle for exist
ence. The son of rich parents is
heavily handicapped if he is made to
feel that his folks have money, and
that he has expectations. There
isn't the same pressure to do his best
holding over such a lad that there is
over the son of poorer parents. He
doesn't feel that he has to apply him.

scheme, plan, and contrive and deny
wants.
Any object or pleasure that may
strike his fancy he can usually buy

gent parents. He has an easy time,
and he is flabby in mental and moral
makeup in consequence. Fibre,
character, and endurance that grow
out of effort and self-denial cannot
be bought. There is no easy way to
get them. 1t is as easy to have some
one hired to eat and digest ones
food as it is to have ones trials and
temptations and labor done by others
Most Of our captains of industry have
risen from the ranks. They learned
well to serve and to stand waiting
9fore they were invited to be seated
and to help themselves.

Pleased With the Prospect.

Sheriff Dienst of Labette County
recently took Rastus Rose, a photo
grapher, to the insane asylum at Osa-
watomia. Mr.. Rose was pleased with
much that he saw along the road.
He continually regretted the absence
of his camera, which prevented him
from preserving the beautiful land
scapes through which the train was
passing. Arriving at Osawatomie, he
was enraptured with the gardens and
shrubbery surrounding the asylum.
"You like it, do your" asked the
Sheriff. Like it! Like it," exclaim-

it was like this I'd have gone crazy

Safety CeIIuIoid.

1t is reported that two Frenchmen,
Mabille and Lerclerc, have patented
a process for making kind of cellu-
loid which is incombustible, says the
Electrical Review. To a solution of
celluloid is added a mixture of ether
and alcohol containing certain iron
salts. A clear liquid of the consist
ency of syrup results, and if the SOL
vents are driven off from this, an in
combustible Lon-inf1ammable celluloid
remains. The material can be worked
as easily as ordinary celluloid, and it
is thought that it will be valuable
in the manufacture of electrical ap-
3aratus.

ASKED TIME FOR CONSIDERATION.
The first reply was not satisfactory.
The Japanese cOntended that the propO-
sitiOns were SO numerous and weighty
and involved such radical departures from
established laws and customs that much
time would be required for their consid-
Grafton.
Commodore Perry. therefore. addressed
a second letter to the Mikado. In which
he promised to await the next spring.
He did not. however, quite await the
