 Of course it is essential that there should be no dust and lint on the hoor so that an extra brushing will have to be given the skirt but well gowned women are apt to be found in well-kept homes. so perhaps this warning is unnecessary.
 Novel Garters.
 During Lent our debutantes are busying themselves making pretty fancy hose sup porters for their intimate girl friends. They are te be Easter gifts, but eacn young girl has so many dear friends or her own age that it is necessary to peelh early in the lenten season In order to nave all Of her surprises ready.
 One of the daintiest of these garters was designed by n popular youthful belle: and 1t has an appropriate decoration or hearts and delicate flowers. Over silk elastic band about an inch wide she has ruffied figured white satin ribbon that mas frill at either side of the elastic, hand The garter. instead of being sewed to- gether to form a circle. has the two ends caught into slk-covered rings. and through these Is run another piece of the ribbon that ties in bow and will make the gar ter any size the wearer requires. The de- signer of this little novelty varied her gifts by decorating some with pale blue velvet forget-me- -nots applidued on In scattering motif while others she ar- ranged to form two linked hearts holding the adjustable ribbon together. Ones initials could be embroidered on. or one favorite flower might ornament the rib bon ends In several different ways.
 New Robes De Mutt.
 BnIeros are a feature of the spring night gowns and trimmed as they are with frlls and insertings of lace. they are quite the daintest bits of lingerie we have seen in @ long time, Some of the boeros are cut square across the front. while others are curved and shaped fan tastically Whatever their shape they must be short enough to square off with the bottom of the new sleeve which comes midway between the shoulder and elbow It. too. is trimmed with entre deix and frills of lace, and looks for all the world like the nnaint little bits of handmade lingerie that used to show be- low the frocks of our dear grandmothers So one girl has appropria tely styled them ''pantalette" sleeves. and they will go down in the history of this seasons fash ion under that name. for many of the newest evening dresses are made very much on the same design. without. how ever. the entre deux and frills being so marked.

A CANCER HOSPITAL.
Plans For Founding One Of National
Scope Formulated.

Philadelphia. July 22.-Plans for
the founding in this city of a cancer
hospital of national scope were form
ulated at meeting of physicians and
philanthropic citizens held here on
Thursday. The proposed institution
Is to be known as the American On
cologic hospital.
The hospital is to be devoted exclu-
sively to the treatment of tumors and
cancerous affections and scientific re-
search into the causes underlying the
increase in the prevalence Of cancer
Statistics read at the meeting show
that during the year 1870 there were
999 deaths from cancer in the COM
bined populations of seven of the
largest American cities; during 1898,
but 2S years later, the deaths from
cancer in these cities numbered 4.273.
Comparing these figures with the III
crease of population it was found that
in each million of the population of
these cities in 1870 there were 354
deaths from cancer, while in 1898 the
number had increased to 664 cancer
deaths in each million.

BIDDING UP WINNERS.
Accounts Squared With Griffin and
Aste in Selling Events.

For the last three weeks H. T. Griffin,
acting in conjunction with TONY Aste.
the "Bootblack King" has been making
things interesting for owners of horses
starting in selling races at Gravesend and
Brighton. He has bid up number Of win
ners and has claimed several horses out of
various events, sparing neither friend nor
foe. This line Of action has made Griffin
known on the turf as Halter Tommy" al
ways ready to corral horsetesh that has
looked good to him. But the time for
squaring accounts with both Griffin and
Aste arrived yesterday at Gravesend, and
they ran up against "a pretty stir game.
Griffin's filiy Sweet Pepper won the third
race, for which she was entered to be sold
for $1,000. Griffin and Aste had prepared
her for a killing. and she was backed down
from II to l to Fights, the partners taking
about $4,000 out of the ring between them.
But when the ffiiy was offered at auction
there was jam around the judges stand,
as a run up was certain. Several days ago
Griffin claimed Stolen Moments, belonging
to Mrs. L. Curtis, out of race, and In re-
talfation Mrs. Curtis agent began bidding
up Sweet Pepper until $500 had been
reached. Griffin waSJ in the betting ring,
but Aste was on hand to protect the tilIy.
When Asts hadsraised this bid to 81. SOS, w.
M Scheftel took up the bidding. and raised
the ngures to $2.3OO. Aste letting the flly
go to the owner orsthe late tamented High
ball for that amoupt. Scheftel got not only
good tilly by the transaction but he
evened up an old score, for last year Griffin
ran up SchefteIs colt Wotan to a high
figure. This run up Melted E. r. Thomas,
who ran second with Niblick. $3.50.
But this was not all that was coming to
Griffin and Aste. In the last race Aste's
FLY, Canteen, won in a gallop, the partners
again taking handsome amount from the
ring. Canteen was entered TO be sold for
81 500. and again Mrs. Curtis agent was
on deck with boost that carried the figures
to 5000. Aste keeping the filly with a IS
increase. AS a result, $3.50. or half the
amount of this run-up, went to John w.
Schorr. who second with Grey Friar.
Turnabout Is fair play in selling races and
1t remains to be seen what Griffin and
Aste will do in future events.
Charles Head Smith incidentally lost his
two-year-Old colt Lochinvar, who was
claimed out of the third race by +. j. Cor
man for $3.50. Smith bought Lochinvar
at auction a couple of weeks ago for 81 ,OoO
and won him out in his first start, betting
$4,000 on him. Yesterday Smith lost
good-siZed wager placed at 3 to l, and was
by no means pleased at Germans action.
Lcchinvar was entered in the race to be
sold for 81 100

Fishers Of Empire.
From the Cleveland Leader.

If it were possible to analyze the COM
or in nations. so infinitely that remote and
Indefinite sources of power and success
might be assigned their true value, 1t would
probably be found that the Japanese have
ffshed their empire and their imperial des-
tiny and fitness out of the sea, in their nets
and on their hooks. These deft workers
in metals and porcelains. master craftsmen
in lacauers and embroideries. known to the
world for their careful tilling of the soil.
their arts and their pretty taste In trees
and flowers. are still, at bottom, a peopIe
bred to the sea and fed largely on food
found in the waters which surround their
islands.
IT Is not necessary to believe that fish js
especially good brain food In order to at
tribute the great national career of the
Japanese and their more brilliant promise
of future triumphs to the fact that thew
have been for ages race of fishermen to
a degree hardly matched on earth. There
cording to Hugh NJ. Smith of the United
States bureau of fisheries. OF these. he
says. about 5000 are craft exceeding eIgh-
teen feet In length and 1900 are at least
thirty feet long. The annual harvest of
the waters is valued. in a country of very
low prices. at about $50 1000. 900. It is reaped
by nearly a million fishermen. who give
their lives to the cleaning Of the seas, and
], 100000 more who devote a part OF their
time to the quest of food In the deep.
Who shall say how much of the mari
time prowess of Japan Is due to the fish
cries of such a nation of cleaners OF the
seas?
