MADE HIS WIFE's GOWNS.
Creation of Blue Dimity Design
ed by Pennsylvania Preacher.

The Rev Francis DOwlin, pastor or
the Norwood, pa Methodist EpiscO-
pal church, who has recently estab-
dshed quite a reputation as a dress
maker, is greatly praised by his wife
and parishiOners, says the Philadel-
phia Evening Bulletin.
On a recent Sunday Mrs. Dowlin ap-
peared at the church services radiant
in blue dimity gown that had been
designed by her husband. The creation
excited widespread admiration on all
sides
Mrs. Dowlin, in an interview, said:
"My husband is certainly handy man.
He is a good dressmaker as well as
preacher and seems to like the former
occupation because it is a nice divers
sion from his pastoral work. No. this
is not his first attempt at dressmak-
ing Last winter he made me dress
and it was the prettiest one l had too.
Will he make me others? l am sure
he will"
Mr. Dowlin was at work preparing
sermon. but was glad to know that
people were taking such an interest in
him When asked how he became so
successful as a dressmaker, he said:
My mother used to be a dressmaker,
and l obtained my ideas and knowl-
edge from her. Young preachers, like
young doctors and young lawyers, need
to economic in some ways, and J lind
this an excellent way. L do not in
tend to do dressmaking as a business,
however l would not make dresses
even for the women in my church"
This much discussed dress Of pale
blue dimity is, in the eyes of the par
tsh, a dream There are white figures
IN the cloth and a white linen yoke is
inserted at the shoulders, and serves
TO give the dress, as well as the wearer,
q stunning appearance. The dress is
q labyrinth of tucks and frills, all of
which Mr.. Dowlin made with the sew
ing machine-''a marvellous feat'-aS
expressed by a neighbOr.
Mrs. Dowlin is a jolly little woman
and was so overjOyed at her husbands
work that she told her neighbors on
Saturday that she would make her first
appearance in the dress on Sunday
morning Naturally the news spread,
and on Sunday, as the young minister
and his wife entered the church. she
received all of the attention for the
first time. Sidelong glances were cast
N her direction during the services,
and afterward the pastor and his wife
held a veritable reception. Many were
the congratulations received by the
little pastor, as his work excited the
admiration of all.

PLAYED CARD GAME
BY TELEPHONE.
Four Persons Played Whist With
Two of the Players Three
Miles Away,

-~1,id you ever try TO play cards by
telephones" smilingly queried George
c. French, exchange manager Of the
Wisconsin Telephone company, says
the Milwaukee Sentinel. Never? Well,
I have been experimenting with it.,
and, despite the fact that 1t has some
drawbacks, it is highly interesting and
ought to become Il fad.
my wife and l planned to go visit
ing a few nights ago, but an evening Of
rain spoiled our prepare tons. That
was where | got busy and after max
ing few preliminary plans l decided
that we ought TO be able to have visit
by telephone, even to including the
playing of whist.
II have a desk telephone in our din
ing room, and so soon had a table ar
ranged and brought out a pack of
cards. Then l called up my friend by
telephone and he at once fell in with
the plan. He got out a deck Of cards
and a table and then | dealt our deck
face upward, calling out the cards that
l dealt to each, having first provided
imaginary seats for my friend and his
wife. AS l called out the cards to him
he picked these cards out and dealt
them to correspond on his own table.
OF course we were under the disadvan-
tage of knowing what cards every
player held, but the novelty of making
each move by telephone made this
minor matter. We would play our
cards in turn, always announcing the
card we played, and in this way the
game went on as if we were sitting op-
posite each other at one table instead
of being about three miles apart and
playing by wire. l don't think you
could play poker in that way, how

SWISS TRAVEL NOVELTIES.
Trunks May be Sent by Post
Throughout the Land.

Consul Washington, at Geneva, calls
the attention of American travellers to
the very inexpensive tickets which
permit the holder to travel throughout
Switzerland upon most of its railways
and lake steamers at will for periods
of from fifteen to thirty days, says the
New York World.
These tickets are Obtainable at all
large railway and boat stations in
Switzerland. They may be ordered
through any station. A delay of from
one to two days is usual and q pho
tOgraph is required.
The tickets permit continuous and
unlimited travel at will during the
period of their validity upon most of
the railways and lakes in Switzerland
and upon some fifteen of the small
roads not embraced in the ticket privi-
lege usually funicular roads, a reduc-
ton of from 20 to 80 per cent upon
usual fares is extended.
1t is a useful point of information
for travellers that trunks may be sent
by post throughout the country and
thus may be delivered at hotels to
wait the arrival of owners. This is a
practical plan for medium sized and
small trunks and valises. The trunks
must be sent to the postoftice, but are
delivered on their arrival

occupies not more than by 4 inches of
wall space The face of the clock is
little more than two inches in diameter,
but is covered by a convex glass which
magnifies the figures on the dial until
they can be seen clearly at long range.
These clocks come in leather mount
ings of all colors. In some of them the
figures on the dial are magnified until
they seem an inch or more in size, but
they can be seen only when the camper
looks squarely at the clock face. View
ed from the side they become invisible.

an afternoon tea equipment is almost
essential. This Is little hamper, sup
piled with a wicker dish, for crackers;
a teapot, kettle and alcohol stand and
burner combined; butter jar, knives,
spoons and fringed napkins, cups and
a sugar bowl, also wicker covered.
The newest thing in cooking appa-
ratus is combination stove that would
make the hOmemaker in Harlem fiat
sit up and take notice. On one small
cooker can be boiled at once eggs and
coffee, while on a lower tier bacon or
chops can be broiled. And the whole
thing is not more than a foot high.
The frame is Of nickel or brass, and
at the base is an alcohol lamp with q
flame surface of two and One-half inch
es. Above this is the perforated broil-
er, and on the next tier IS a deep kettle
or cooker Fitted into this is folding
tray with three holes for eggs to be
set in endwise. This compartment IS
filed with water, and dipping deep into
1t is q cylinder with a fine wire net
bottom like the inside Of a French drip
coffcepot This is suspended from the
cover and holds the coffee.
The eggs are literally boiled in the
coffee, and the two cook in about the
same time.

follow the general lines Of a campstoOl,

KOREAN DIPLOMACY.
Making Treaty With Japan and
Secret Mes age to Russia.

Since that fearful Feb. 8, when the
roar of twelve inch guns off Chemuipo
and the long shivering echoes made the
mountains tremble, Seoul and the Ko-
rean government have been if possible
even more bewildered than ever, says
a writer in the Outlook.
What had we better do about it?"
they ask. Here are Japanese coming
in, 10000, $4,000, 10000 Of them. This
is neutral territory; tell these rascals to
halt and go home" But there in Che
mulpo harbor lie the dead Russian war
ships Variak and KOrietz, once terror
to all kinds Of yellow men, now help
less, no better than dead yellow dogs,
and the Japs carrying off the plumber.
I'VE cannot halt these sCoundrels, let
them go by. Those two dead ships are
a nightmare to us. Let the Japs pass
in peace. But after that what had we
better do about it?"
II move we like the Japanese from
now on" says one minister
Il second" says another.
"All in favor will please say aye
The ayes have it." And so the treaty is
made, a treaty with Japan, but also a
secret message sent to Russia at the
same time, saying:
I'VE have made an alliance with
these Japanese, but we hate them. We
love you and hope you will win. Come
quickly and save us"
On receipt of news Of victory at sea
the emperor sends congratulations to
the japanese minister, while under
ground messages are received from
Russia, saying: Long may you live!

JAPANESE PHARMACY.
Druggists Use Dried Animals as
Medicinal Agents.

Japanese doctors and druggists are
said by a correspondent of the Chemist
and Druggist to have reached a higher
standard than the world has given
them credit for.
Japanese druggists are of two classes,
the one certiticated and qualified to
compound medicines, the other dealing
in drugs and sundries. The native doe.
tors, as a usual thing, dispense their
own medicines, though few write pre-
scriptiOns only, these latter for the
most part having studied in Germany
and holding a university degree. The
metric system is used for both weights
and measures. There IS a considerable
popular demand for household rem
edieS, and many Of these correspond eX'
actly with those which have here long
since fallen into disuSe. Thus snakes,
lizards, frogs, crabs and other animals
are kept in dried condition in the ma
tive drug stores, and enjoy more or
less repute as medicinal agents.
Face paints and powders and various
dentifrices are much in vogue, and
plasters to relieve headache and neu-
ralgia are largely employed. Massage
is used in rheumatism and in nervous
affections, and is to a large extent in
the hands of the blind. The manufac-
ture of mineral waters is carefully su.
pervised by the authorities, and fines
are inflicted in any case where the Of
fetal standard Of purity is departed
