Colors of the Moment,

AS the season advances green and
blue separately and again combined
my be said to be the colors of the
moment Pongees and raw silks are
popular fabrics. A model of dark
blue pongee, with a raised stripe run
ming through it, has skirt with very
little goring, and it is tucked horizon
tally all the way around the hip, hav
ing box plait down the center of
the front and back. These tucks are
stitched about six or eight inches in
depth and then allowed to flare with
four deep tucks running vertically
round the bottom, each of these tucks
headed by half-inch wide row Of entire
doux. The skirt is cut straight
around, and the bodice, which is
tucked in half-inch tucks, blouses
slightly over the belt. A beautiful
white Irish lace yoke and the collar
complete the neck, and the sleeves are
gathered into the yoke quite full and
fall to the line of the elbow. Here
again is a puff and below is a tight
fitted sleeve of Irish crochet

Cigar Box for a Boat.


A practical vessel capable of forg-
ing through the water distance of
five or six yards after each winding
can be made of a cigar box, the rib of
an old umbrella, rubber band, a
candle and little cord. After these
articles have been used in the con-
struction of the boat itself, many addi-
tlons, such as deck~houses and don.
Key engines, can be affixed by lad
who is handy with his penknife.
The first thing to be done is to Sc
cure a good, strong cigar box and to
rip away it's lid. Cut two pieces of
Easteboard, each the width of the box
by one-third of it's length, and tack
these across the front and back of the
opening. This makes fore and after
deck. With hatchet chop from an
umbrella rib two masts a foot long,
pushing one through the fore and
one through the after deck, and pound
ing both firmly into the bottom of the
cigar box. Take what remains of the
umbrella rib, say three inches: lay
half of it along the middle of the fore
deck, allowing the other half to pro-
ject; secure it to the pasteboard with
sealing wax, and the bowsprit is in
position.
Now the cigar box commences to

Green Corn Soup,

Crate and scrape the corn from
enough ears to make one pint of pulp
Break the cobs in halves, put them
in a kettle with enough cold water to
cover them; cover the kettle, and boil
the ears briskly for half an hour. Then
strain this water into another sauce,
pan and let it boil down to less than a
pint.
When reduced to the proper quaint
ty, add to the corn water the corn pulp
and let it simmer five minutes; then
season with salt, little sugar and a
dash of pepper. Add one pint of hot
cream, one tablespoonful of butter and
heaping tablespoonful of flour dis.
solved in little milk. Let the whole
just boil up after the flour is in.
Put tablespoonful of finely
chopped parsley in a soup tureen, pour
in the soup, and serve.

seasonab!e material and is quite as
we'll adapted to the odd waist as to
the frock. The waist and sleeves are
both gathered at their upper edges
and joined to the band, which closes
with the waist at the center front,
while the yoke is closed at the left
shoulder seam. The collar is one of
the new ones, of the turnover sort,
and can be slashed and worn with a
tie, as illustrated, or left plain as pre-
ferred
The waist consists of the fitted lin
ing, which is optional: fronts, back.
sleeves, yoke and trimming band.
When the lining is used the sleeves
are faced on indicated lines to form
cuffs. but when it is omitted cuffs of
the required depth are made separate
and joined 10 the lower edges of the
sleeves. The waist is gathered at it's
lower edge, made to blouse slightly at
back as we'll as front, and is closed IN
visibly by means of buttons and loops.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is 3% yards 81
inches wide, 33s yards q inches wide,
or Us yards A inches wide. with IS
yards of all-over lace for yoke and
cuffs. and q yards of silk for trim
ming band.

THE BOTTLE CANNON.

Do you know that from two bottles
you can make a cannon which will
shoot projectile to quite respectable
distance without powder of any kind?
Your ammunition in this case is
water. Think of that! When one
thinks of firing a cannon, one usually
thinks, too, of fire and smoke as neces-
sary to the discharges; and you use
fire in this instance-a fire of such
size that one can hardly realize it
oceans and oceans of liquid fre-for
you use the sun.
Get two plains white bottles, one
short, fiat flask and the other taller
and heavier; for instance, an old GIN
ger ale bottle. Fill the small flask
with water and insert in it's neck a
cork a little large for it, so that it al
most refuses to go in. Hammer this
cork in tightly, and be very sure that
it is firmly and securely in place.
Fill one-third of the larger bottle
with water and cork it with cork
that fits well, but not too tightly.
Drive a forked stick into the ground
SO that the fork is about three inches
from the earth, and prop up the
tall bottle on this rest, so that it
points at an angle Of about forty de-
grees.
Now drive two more forked sticks
into the ground just behind the bot
tom of the bottle, one on each side of
it. These are to hold your flask,
which must be laid across them so
that one edge is higher than the other
and it's upper side turned directly to-
ward the sun.
You will notice that the suns rays,
shining on the slightly convex side of
the flask, seem to focus or all gather
together at one point just beneath the
flask. If you put your finger on this
spot you will find that it is. very, very

can be cut with the square outline, OF
in V shape, or left high as may be pre-
ferred and all materials in vogue for
underwear are appropriate. In the
case of the model the trimming is
embroidery, but here again choice
is allowed as washable laces are much
liked and frills of the material also
are in vogue.
The garment is made with front
backs, side backs, under arm cores
and back portion Of skirt. The front
is fitted by means of double darts, so
making the garment absolutely
smooth fitting and the necessary full
ness at the back is provided by the
skirt, which is gathered at it's upper
edge and joined to the body portion.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is 3 yards 36
inches wide, with 31a yards of wide
embroidery, 8 yards of narrow, 2A
yards of insertion and 2 yards of
beading to trim as illustrated.

Leather TRIMMING.

A decided novelty in the way OF
trimming for some of the new num- S
yelling waists are the turnover collar
and cuffs made of soft leather. An
example of this is pale-blue waist
trimmed with collar and cuffs Of soft
tan leather, in shape somewhat similar
to the embroidered and lace collar and
cuff sets so much in demand during
the spring and summer season.
Leather trimmings are being used to
some extent on the new tailored suits
and raincoats, SO that this novelty may
meet with quite as much of a success
as waist trimming as in the other
lines of readymadc garments.

founG, and boys and girls living near
them have little or no opportunity to
fish. Those very places, though are
apt to have apple orchards, and fish
ing for apples may furnish a new
amusement.
Beginning in August, there are gen
orally a lot of poor apples fallen from
the trees, which lie about on the
ground underneath them. They are
known as "windfa1ls."' Gather a lot OF
them and put them on the ground

hook get a stick about six inches lons.
as shown in the picture. Point it at
one end and make the other not over
half an inch round. Push good hard
apple on this round part and fasten
cord to the part of the stick stick
ing through it. Any long stick will
do for fishing pole. but the cord
must not be shorter than four feet.
Those who want to fish may gather
around the apple pile and with pole
and hook properly prepared should be-
gin together. TO catch an apple the
pointed stick must be poised above it
and then dropped suddenly. If the
aim is true the apple will stick upon

banding edged with black, and is both
effective and durable, but all the ma
terial in vogue for little girls dresses
are equally appropriate.
The dress is made with front and
backs and is laid in box plait at
center front and back with outward
turning tucks at each side, the closing
being made invisibly at the back be-
meath the box plait. The long sleeves
are in bishop style, gathered into

Fashion in Capes.

Short circular capes are all the
fashion right now.. Those most in
vogue for early autumn weather are
OF coarse lace; any lace like Cluny,
BRUCE or-point Venise is in favor. The
capes vary in length. Sometimes they
fall just to the shoulders, others reach
to- the bust line, and still others
touch the waist. In ecru or dyed to
match the color of the gown they will
be the most fashionable during the
early fall. The smart girl is sure to
contrive many novel ways of adding
to the charm Of her cape. She may
fasten it down the front with big,
artistic-looking buttons, or it may
have the effect of being tied together
with many smart-looking little black
satin bows. If she wishes to more
decidedly change it's effect, she will
slip satin messaline or velvet ribbons
through the meshes of the lace at
either side of the front. At the neck
the ribbons are tied in rosettes, and
tnen. again a bit further down.

Woodpecker's Savings Bank.

Among the woodpeckers of Califor-
MIA there Is one kind, popularity called
the carpenter, which is Of such care
full habits that many friendly society
might take lesson from it. Although
the winter is not very severe, the
bird well knows how hard it will then
be to obtain food. So it begins early
to lay by for the frosty day. It stuffs
the holes of trees with acorns, and it
is artful enough to choose those that
contain the larvae of insects. The
larva thrives on the fruit, and in the
course of time becomes fattened tit

Sponge Land,

Sponge Land.
Although the best sponges come
from the Mediterranean, where divers
bring them up from the rocks in the
depths of the blue sea, goodly num-
Der may be found on the shores of
England, lying about the beach,
washed up by the tide, or sticking to
shells into which they have bored.
The shore between the marks of high
water and low water has been called
Sponge Land. Within these limits
sponges of many colors may be hunt
ed for in the pools. They brighten
the brown beach, these scarlet, orange,
yellow, green, white, gray and black
patches of sponge. The sponge one
usually sees is the skeleton of the
jelly-like living animal, and several
of these skeletons make pretty orna-
ments.

A Luminous Insect.

The Chinese have lightning bug
which they call candle fly, and it is
OF great brilliancy. But the largest of
all the luminous: flies is the lantern
fly of Brazil, which grows to be three
inches long and six inches in expanse
of wings. BY day this lantern fly is
a mass of rich and striking colo2s,
and by night it shines with the great
est brilliancy in fires of rose and silver
white.

Char Box Boat.


water the turning will send it ahead.
The stronger this apparatus and the
tighter the rubber is twisted the far
ther the boat will go.
What remains to be done is only to
make the box water-tight and to in
crease it's likeness to a ship. The
first task can be accomplished by
calking the cracks inside the box and
the holes made by the masts with
putty or gum. If neither is handy,
light candle and let the tallow drip
into the proper places. Run a string
from the mainmast to the fOremast,
and from the foremast to the bow
spirit for rigging, and glue a tiny flag
to the top of each. Cut portfolios
along the side of the boat, or paint
them there with ink. A spool can be
made to look like donkey engine, a
tiny box will serve as cabin, and
the vessel is ready.

will bubble more and more, and the
vapor will grow thicker and thicker
until it fills the bottle.
Suddenly you hear noise like a
small pistol shot; the cork flies
through the air like bullet, followed
by cloud of the vapor from the bot
tie. Your cannon is discharged!
The suns rays shining upon the
upper side of the flask and passing
through it, focused upon the water in
the larger bottle, had the same effect
upon it that they had on the paper
they heated it. The white vapor was
steam, the same force which moves

directions, it piled up lot Of force

gin the propeller. For this purpose
cut from the cover two strips of wood
an inch broad and tack these to the
sides of the box just at the bottom,
so that five inches stick OUT at each
side of the back of the box. The .po-
sition of the strips to the box is the
position of shafts to a wagon, except
that they are behind instead of in
front. They must be tackled very
strongly. When this is done run a
stout rubber band from the end of one
shaft to the end of the other. Cut out
