The salt of the Earth.

It was a damp day, when evil spirits
held high carnival. Many things went
crosswise under the spell of their
witchery, but they exercised a particu-
larly baleful influence on the salt,
which clogged and stuck, and in spite
Of vigorous shaking and pounding,
refused to sift out of the boxes. All
the lunchers in a restaurant found
themselves handicapped by this aggre.
CATION of seasonable particles. One
woman alone solved the problem Of
salting her food properly. She, after
repeated attempts to dislodge a few
grains, drew a steel hairpin from be-
meath her hat, cleared the perforations
in the top of the shaker, stirred the
salt to a powder and proceeded to
season her vegetables.
The man opposite sat amazed at
this truly feminine expedient for run
ming the universe. Once he seemed
on the point of demonstrating, but he
, thought better of 1t and went on eat
ing in silence. In fact, everybody re-
NAMED silent except a fat man at a
nearby table. He brought his face
into alarming proximity to a plate of
steaming soup and gurgled softly:
well, I'll be darned!"

Fashions In Velvet.

In the broadcloth costumes that are
to share the vogue of velvet, no mod
ell seems complete until it shows some
touch of this rich and elegant pile,
and, since one good turn deserves an
other, the velvet costumes are show
ing the touch of the fine broadcloths
in pretty nearly all OF their trimming
schemes. This is chiefly in the gowns
for outdoor and informal wear. Vests
and revers are usually fashioned in
this wise, and there is simply no end
to the exquisite embroideries, passe-
menteries, appliques, needlework and
such that are used III their embellish-
meIt. Here the girl who is clever
with her needle can add that touch of
originality and individuality to her
velvet gown that will go far toward
making it a conspicuous success, and
when the buttons are made to match
then the design is complete. The
family button bag will be ransacked
this autumn for treasures of long
ago, and the more quaint and old
fashioned tine buttons the better will
they fit in with current and coming
styles.

1t was only a moment past ten
o'clock when General Garden walked
briskly up the marble steps and en-
tered the Morris building. He stopped
at the outer railing and addressed
MIR. Mason, the Vice-President of the
company.
Il hold an option on ten thousand
shares of l.. & o. stock" said the gen.
eral, producing an envelope from an
inside pocket.
"Yes?" Mr.. Mason raised his eyes
with a faint show of interest, and
tapped the brass rail with a pencil.
$50 / understand, General Garden"
Under its terms l can take up the
stock at a stipulated figure, provided
the market price is above twenty.six
dollars a share"
That is the agreement. You owe
us about two hundred and eighty
thousand dollars on that stock, Gen
eral Garden. Do you wish to pay it
to-day?"
A sarcastic smile played around the
corners of MIR. Mason's mouth.
Il do. l demand the stock and will
meet the terms in cash"
Very well, General Garden, it can
quickly be arranged"
There was no change of expression
! on the grave face Of the banker as
he turned to a clerk and ordered him
to produce the stock from the vaults.
Mr.. Mason glanced at the option and
made a rapid calculation.
1.-TWO hundred and elghty-two thou
sand, four hundred and sixty-seven
dollars and seventeen cents" he said
passing over a slip Of paper. as that
your figure?"
General Garden bowed and mo
toned to one of his companions, who
placed a satchel on the counter. From
its depths General Garden produced
the money demanded and exchanged
It for the stock.
81 trust your faith in the value o.
these certificates may not prove
amiss," said Mr.. Mason with an icy
smile. 81 bid you good day, sir"
General Garden bowed grayely anC
turned to the door. AS he did so Ar
thur Morris entered, his face flushed
with triumph. In his haste he raj
into General Garden.
II beg your pardon! oh. it's you
is it," and an evil light came to BIZ
eyes. What in hell are you doinl
here? You're discharged-fred; d'y
understand? Get out Of here an,
keep QUIT"
Morris stepped behind the bras
railing and from that retreat shool
his hand threateningly at the ma
who had aroused his rage. Genera
Garden deliberately removed hi
glasses and walked tOwards him.

latest in Advertising.

Among the sights on Broadway
New York, the other day was a sand
witch man in full dress, including pat.
ent leather shoes and silk hat. The
signs dangling from his person were
done in most artistic fashion and
called attention to the excellence of a
new brand Of cigars. Following close
behind him came a smartly dressed
colored boy who acted as his valet,
both master and man conducting
themselves with the greatest gravity
and decorum. The parade continued
for couple of hours, when an auto
picked the pair up and whirled them
down a side street.

President EIiot's Good Advice.

In addressing the freshman class of
Harvard. President Eliot impressed
upon his hearers that they must be
and do everything that a true Harvard
man ought to be and do-must be
democratic gentlemen. "A gentle.
man." he said, must also be quiet. If
a man is heard bawling about the col
lege yard one can feel perfectly sure
that he is either an outsider or a new
conner. He must never do anything
that will hurt a woman or a child or
an inferior. He must be generous,
efficient. deferential to age, beauty,
excellence, skill and all worthy
things"

New Ideas In Furs.


In fur coats for winter wear there
are a number of new shapes in bole-
'os, and while the blouse coat in fur
will be less worn than last season,
still styles in blouses are also shown.
The longskirted Louis XIV. and
Louis XVI coats in fur have vests of
embroidered cloth, velvet, or a con-
trasting fur, and the new fur, yetta,
which can be embroidered, is also
used
Moired caracul and baby lamb, be-
ing short-haired, will be much seen in
these coats. Pony skin in black will
be another favorite in long coat furs.
Sable paws are being worked up
into coats as we'll as nuns, and while
much less expensive than the sable
skin garments, the cost of combining
the small pieces into coats renders
them anything but cheap.
In squirrel skin garments, the heads
OF the animals will be utilized, and
the matching of the stripes will re-
suit in effects quite unlike the furs
made of whole skins.
The making OF these small pieces
of fur into garments is done in Ger
many, where manual labor is much
cheaper than in this country.
Bear raccoon and fox furs will be
much seen in neck pieces, the long
nap making them a softening setting
for the face.
Flat stoles and pelerines are to be
much worn, and in NUNS the fiat
shape will be the most fashionable,
though dealers are trying to get up
some new-shaped affair for the wear
of exclusives.

Styles in New skirts.

The new skirts-many of them are
veritable old-fashioned models. They
positively invite crinoline into their
folds. over the hips, however, they
are fitted snugly and with great skill.
AS yet there is no suggestion Of PAM
ers, though perhaps the new short
basque jacket may be a forerunner
In disguise OF this fashion Of other
days. It is below the hip-curve that
the modish skirts this autumn began
to show their fullness, and as they
near the bottom they become grace
fully full and fiaring. of course,
there is a reason why they hang in
this correct and fascinating fashion.
The new lightweight princess hair
cloth has much to do with it. Some
times it is used in the skirt proper,
and then again it is sewed in the
tiounce or flounces Of the drop-skirt.
Heavy cords are another device for
giving a full skirt the proper flare at
the bottom. Frequently two or three
featherbone cords are used in the silk
drop-skirt.

with alternate rows Of gold beads
about the size of hemp seeds and
