insertion. Two rows of valenciennes in sertion were arranged above the hem of the skirt. This insertion was half an inch wide Two rows were similarly arranged on the blouse and three per- pendicular rows were stitched on the front boxplait. The null was cut away from under the lace so as to produce a transparent affect.
 On account of the low neck the short puff sleeves are most appropriate. They may simply be finished with band of the insertion, or frill of deep lace may be allowed to extend below. Deep valenciennes lace forms the bertha which so becomingly completes the finish for the low-cut neck.
 Instead of this lace bertha delight ful effect nay be produced by cutting bertha from the material of the dress. cutting the lower edge in scallops. This edge is finished preferably with whip- ped hean and the lace gathered and sewed on a trifie full. If this cannot be readily accomplished, an ordinary hem, very narrow, has the lace sewed to the edge. A second row is arranged above the first. This may also be adapted to 3 circular bertha.
 As has already been mentioned, hand work is especially fashionable for chil- dren's dresses at present, and the pos abilities of French knots and feather stitching are almost infinite Even the simplest tuck yoke becomes daintiness personified when 1t is decorated with rows of feather stitching between the tucks French knots, arranged to form medallions and surrounded by a row of the same useful feather-stitching form a very cheap but effective trimming for children's party and dancing school dresses.
 There are at present to be seen in the shops such a multitude of dainty braids, insertions, silk gimps, laces and buttons that even the most parti- cular of mothers Is sure to-find sogne-

DIE WHEN EXPOSED TO LIGHT.
Strange Fish and Insects That Live in
 Perpetual Darkness.

Perpetual Darkness.
 The cavern beetle was first discovered some seventy years ago in an Austrian cave, the grotto of Adelsberg. One specimen only was caught, and though its discoverer offered a prize of e5 for another, it was fourteen years before a second was found.
 The cavern beetle has little round body. very long legs and absolutely n6 eyes at all Brought out from it's gloomy haunts into the light of the sun, 1t dies almost immediately. Yet. in its pitch-dark home, far beneath the sur face of the earth, it moves with as great rapidity and certainty as any of its eyed relatives on the upper soil.
 To make up for its lack of sight, it is provided with antenae of extraordinary length and delicacy. By means of these 1t feels Its way over the rough surface of the stone and hunts it's prey other smeller blind insects-with great rapid- ity and absolute certainty,
 The cavern beetle has it's enemies. The blothrus Ca species of scorpion) and the great eyeless spider hunt 1t re- morselessly. Prince Kheyenhuller, who thoroughly explored these caves some years ago, describes it as a most ex- traordinary sight to watch by the light of candle a scorpion, absolutely eye less, hunting a beetle, equally blind, along the cavern wall Although the beetle was several feet in front of the scorpion, and divided from it by a fis- sure in the rock yet the scorpion tracked it with absolute and almost ap- pailing certainty.
 The spider found in these caves is of lovely ivory white, and is able like other insects which inhabit the same subterranean depths, to run very rapid- ly and find it's way with as positive certainty as If 1t had eyes and light to use them. Like several of the others | 1t, too, perishes if taken out of the cave, Sunlight seems to wither and shrivel up these insects. just as though they had been paced in front of a hot fire. Yet, in spite of this fact, it is known that the blind cave creatures are de- scended from others which originally lived in the llghtsof day,
 An ordinary proof of this is that, though no faintesttray marks the differ enee between dayaand darkness in the depths they live In. yet 1t has been as- certained beyond shadow of doubt that those whose ancestors were nocturnal In their habits still prefer to move about during those hours when the surface of the earth is in darkness,
 Numbers of different kinds of fish are known to live In the gloomy rivers and lakes which exist in all large caves. At San Marcos, Tex, borings were. recently made to provide water sup ply for some new fresh hatcheries. At depth of tSS feet a great stream of water was struck which shot up at the rate of 1900 gallons minute. With it came thousands of tiny, shrimp like creatures and also large number of curious little, pale colored reptiles, pro- vided with long tails and each having.

four legs. These tiny monsters were absolutely eyeless. The only trace that they ever possessed such organs are two little black spots above the nostrils.
 A similar creature known as the elm inhabits the rivers in the Austrian caves already mentioned. In the depths of the Pianina Cave, nearly a mile and a half from the entrance, the elm is most abundant. The waters are fairly alive with them, and when, some years ago, the Arehduke Ferdinand paid a visit to this cave, 9 net was let down and number of the little reptiles caught for his benefit.-Tit Bits.

What the Canal VIII Do.


Tho northeastern section of the Unit
ed States has already become a great
manufacturing region. A larger outlet
for Its textile and iron and steel pro-
ducts and for the many other nanufac-
lures now being exported, and the abil-
lily to secure the foods. chemicals. ores,
hbers and woods obtainable only from
Pacific countries, are yearly becoming
more imperative. We all realize in =
vague way that American manufac-
lures are being exchanged for foreign
goods in many parts Of the Pacific, but
we do not readily comprehend the
magnitude of these exchanges. When
Brooklyn firm informs US that it
sends over half a million dollars worth
of machinery annually to the Hawaiian
Islands, or a Philadelphia company re-
ports the expectation of 1876 looomo-
tives-four full vessel loads-to China
and Siberia in little over two calen-
dar years, and Baltimore corporation

steel rails for Australia and Of anoth-
er order for 10000 tons of rails for the

cry of pain, and Juan sprang back,
pressing his hand against his side,
where blood came from between his
fingers. The Indian had worked his
left hand to the sheath of his knife,
and stabbed the giant who had so
nearly overcome him. Staggering, the
two again stood erect, and yet again
came the cries from the many red
men and the little band of whites who
were witnessing this babarous and
brutal struggle. Bows were bending
among the blankets, but the four rifles
now pointed steadily out. One move
ment would have meant death to many
but that movement was forestalled in
the still more rapid happenings of the
unfinished combat. For one-half sec
ond the two fighting men stood apart,
the one stunned at his unexpected
wound, the other startled that the
wound had not proved fatal. Seeing
his antagonist still on his feet, White
Calf for the first time lost courage.
With the knife still held in his left
hand, he hesitated whether to Join
again the encounter, or himself to
guard against the attack of a foe SO
proof to injury. He half turned and
gave back for pace.
The man pursued by foe looks
about him quickly for that weapon
nearest to his own hand. The dread
of steel drove Juan to bethink him
self of weapon. He saw 1t at his
feet, and again he roared like an angry
Lull, his courage and his purpose alike
unchanged. He stopped and clutched
the broken war axe, grasping the
stone head in the palm of his great
hand, the Jagged and ironlike shaft
projecting from between his fingers
like the blade of dagger. With the
leap of a wild beast he sprang again
upon his foe. White Calf half turned,
but the left hand of the giant caught
him and held him up against the
fatal stroke. The sharp shaft of wood
struck the Indian in the side above
the hip, quartering through till the
stone head sunk against the flesh with
fearful sound. With scream the
victim Strengthened and fell forward.
The horrid spectacle was over.

Watches Slower at Niqht.

you know that the vital energies
are at lower ebb at night than in the
daytime" said an old matchmaker.
Would you believe that some watches
especially the cheaper ones-are
similarly affected?
You know good matchmaker al
ways wants several days in which to
regulate timepiece. That is because
the only way to regulate it properly
is to compare it with chronometer at
the same hour every day Otherwise
the variations in the speed of the
watch will battle his efforts.
THE man to whom l was apprentice
ed told me this, and | thought the idea
absurd. We were working late one
night, and he called my attention to a
lot Of watches we had regulated and
ready to deliver. 1t was near mid
night and every watch was slow. The
better timepieces had Jagged behind
some seconds. The cheaper watches
were a minute or more out of the
way. Next morning every one of the
lot was exactly right.
THE fact is you can regulate a
watch to make exactly twenty-four
hours a day, but you can't persuade
it to make just sixty minutes in each
of the twenty-four hours. Why this is
no one can tell. York Times.
