White Net With LACE.

No material is more fashionable for
the gowns of afternoon and dinner
wear than white cotton net and it is
neyer more attractive than when com
bined with lace. This very charming
costume illustrates that fact and
shows a novel and stylish bolero,
which is made entirely of all over
lace, and trimming which consists Of
wide frills of the material headed by
lace bands. The waist is one of the
latest and is full and soft, made with
q little square of lace at the 'front.', and
is closed invisibly at the left of the
front. The bolero can be used or
omitted as preferred and is arranged
over it, the two being joined at the
lower edge. The skirt is circular with
a circular fiounce, that is Joined to it
beneath the upper row of trimming,
and provides the graceful folds which
are essential to present styles. The

A Useful Hint.

When roses or other artificial flow
ers fade, the economical girl paints
them with her water colors. The mus
lin of which they are composed takes
paint readily, and a little patience viii
rejuvenate an apparently passe hat
decoration.
In tinting the flowers, make the pet.
ais deeper in shade in toward the
base and leave the edges paler.
1t is surprising how fresh the flow
ers will look after being recolored,
and they will hold the water coIors
much longer than they do their origi-
nal coloring.

Used in Making Note Paper.

1t is not pleasant thought that
the brilliant white note paper which
your hand rests upon may have in it
the fbers from the filthy garment of
some Egyptian fellah after it has
passed through all the stages Of de-
cay until it is saved by ragpicker
from the gutter of an Egyptian town ;
and yet it is fact that hundreds of
tons of Egyptian rags are exported
every year into America to supply
our paper mills.
At Mannheim on the Rhine the
American importers have their rag
picking houses, where the rags are
collected from all over Europe, the

poor to earn a better living, work day

their mouths, sorting these filthy
scraps for shipment to New York.

LARGEST SCREWDRIVER.
Powerful Machine Used i'm the Con-
struction of n Hallway Bridge
Nc=r New York.

Undoubtedly the most powerful as
well as the largest screwdrivers in the
world have recently been delivered in
the vicinity of New York The Pennsyl-
vania railroad in planning for its
double tube under the North river has
decided that it needed them and the en-
cheering department, working with
the construction department. has pro-
vided them
The carpenter in using the ordinary
screwdrivers eXayts a power of about 80
pounds. The new screwdriver will have
a power of 100000 pounds, equal to that
exerted by 6,666 carpenters. They will
drive the great piles which must be
sunk under the tunnel-they will, in
fact, be the piles themselves. Inasmuch
as about 1000. O00, 900 pounds OF metal
will be used in the tubes, faint idea OF
what the piles will have over them can
be formed.
The screwdriver piles are cylinders
two and one-quarter feet in diameter.
made Of cast iron one and one-quarter
inches thick. They will be located every
Is feet centrally, so that both tubes will
be REINFORCED. They will be made in
length short enough to be handled in
the tunnel, the successive lengths being
belted on as the pile sinks. The screw
driver, or screw point so-called, is at
the end Of the pile and is so constructed
that 1t will have one turn to 81 inches
and diameter of four and three-fourths
feet
