There is a type of woman who is al
ways buying trifes, and yet is never
really well-dressed. Her boxes and
drawers are crammed full of different
kinds of collars (half of which she
does not wear), tulle bows, crushed
flowers, remnants of chiffon, waist
bands, sashes and hundred and one
accessories without which she would
be great deal better dressed.
II you would be we'll dressed never
buy much at time, unless, of course,
you have a very liberal dress allow
ance.
Do not, implore you, always be
fred by the desire for change; al
though you can accomplish this if you
get one frock at time instead of
three

In their favor. II you want to smarter

that The ready-made, dainty collars
and cravats will be of great assistance
to you, but do not buy them unless
you intend to wear them at once. Use
them and wear them out; do with two
instead of half a dozen, for these
trifles to look well must be fresh; 1t
Is waste of money to buy them if you
are going to let them lie about and get
crumpled.
Such details as collars, ties, cravats,
wells, tulle and chiffon bows, ruff1es,
stoles, berthes, sleeves, sashes, etc.,
are but fashions of an hour; they re-
quire wearing with care and discrim-
ination, few times ironing, and then

ro-Tnd f1llets remain. Put the cooked
spinach into small saucepan contain
ing good lump of butter, season it
with salt, pepper, a dust of sugar, and
little nutmeg, and stir into it two
tablespoonfuls Of thick onion sauce,
which should be made with cream AS
soon as the mixture is thoroughly hot,
remove the saucepan from the stove,
and add the yolk Of an egg, then turn
the spinach into a. basin and let it
cool. Make an incision with sharp
knife on one side of the noisettes, and
fill them with the prepared spinach,
using forcing bag and small pipe for
the purpose; -four them lightly, dip
them into warm butter, and cook them
quickly in boiling butter until they
are evenly Drowned on both Sides
Drain the noisettes. brush them over
with warm glaze, then sprinkle them
with chopped parsley and place on half

brace pheasants; seasoning, peas truf-

Blanch the rice and let it cook in
stewpan with one ounce Of butter and
the chicken broth until it is quite ten

When the rice has cooled little, add
the yolks of the eggs, and after mix

appear to have been manufactured out
of sale remnants.
Personally. I always think a COM
promise in these matters is a mistake,
and the best plan is to turn a toilette
de reception of some lacy CONNECTION
into five o'clock picture gown, tea
gown, or whatever you like to call it.
There is great fancy this season for
the cream undertakes, covered with
black Chantilly, black net or some 9TH
er soft, light black fabric Nothing is
more useful than this and the same
idea may, be carried out with coffee
! lace over white which, in my opinion,
is prettier still. {
A careful planning Of these slips
with overdresses will be quite certain
to ensure your having gowns suitable
for many occasions, both for afternoon
and evening wear. And with the pres
ent-day fuller skirt, in souple fabrics
this is an elegant as well as a useful
fashion.
The old-fashioned shawl can be
turned into very pretty evening wraps.
This is an excellent way, too, of utiliz-
ing wedding veil. l have known a
Paisley shawl made into quite a
charming garment after this wise. The
successful draping of shawl is the
work of the true artist, and very few

women nowadays will give the neces-
sary time or trouble to the wearing Of
shawl; 1t is, therefore, better to have
it made up into wrap. The lace veil
or shawl can be lined with chiffon; a
lining of soft satin could also be added
| for the sake of warmth. II this be
frilled and trimmed with chiffon the
effect will be charming The possessors
| of good lace must exercise their in
genuity in making up their valued
possession to avoid cutting 1t; it is
worth little trouble, for it offers great
possibilities for summer opera cloak.
We now hear and talk Of the tiara
hat. which simply means toque of
flowers standing up rather high in
tiara fashion, the crown being filled
in with tulle or chiffon. Such head
gear is rather trying and the picture
hat which affords some shade to the
eyes is infinitely more becoming.
Dainty blouse modes are almost In
Vulnerable. Two pretty, and compare
lively inexpensive models are shown
in the illustrations. One IL of silk,
with collar and front of lace and I'M
dersleeves of net and lace. The tabs
and sleeves are edged with chiffon
ruching.
The other is Of viyella Of floral
design, with narrow bands of guipure
insertion arranged in a becoming man
ner
The rage for taffetas increases, and
there is nothing so desirable for real
ly smart gown. It is supple, Grapes
gracefully. and yet has a crisp fresh
ness, which makes 1t an ideal material
for fan-reluches, gaugings and tuck
ings.
Some new thin velvets are also very
popular and they are likely to be worn
until quite late in the spring.

Fashion to-day DEGREES, and very
rightly, that though our blouses and
skirts need not exactly match they
must be in harmony That is to say,
with gray cashmere of crepe de
chine skirt we may wear a blouse or
picturesque bodice made of lace, but
connected in some way with the skirt.
We may not wear black skirt and
a cream lace blouse, but If we don
pale green cloth skirt we may wear
pale green chiffon blouse. We hear of
the ready-made black silk skirt, and
we realize that it is most useful
standby in our wardrobes in cases of
emergency, and IL we have variety of
black blouses they are all very we'll,
but they will not do to wear with our
pretty, dainty lacy tea-jacket; such a
combination looks exceedingly COM

BEING OVERCOME BY GAS.
The Sensation Is Said to Be Neither
I Alarming Nor Disseminating
in All Instances.

Rev. DR.. George L. Spinning. pastor Of
the First Presbyterian church, of South
Orange, N. j., who was nearly asphyx-
lated in his study in the church a few
days ago by a careless workman, who
shut off the gas and then turned 1t on
again, has written an account of his
sensations while overcome by the gas,
in which, reports the New York World,
he says:
II did not notice the gas until seized
by deathly stupor, which it seemed
impossible to throw OF. l was seated
at my desk. My sight grew dim. I
could not see the manuscript before
me. Every limb in my body felt as
though it was weighted with lead. I
had the faintest sense of heart flut-
tering and fast losing it's power of pulsa-
ton. I had no specific pain, and felt
only the weight of heavy stupor, over
which my will seemed to have no
power.
IT remember my mental state, and that
I was sufficiently conscious to know and
feel that the end was near, and that the
cause was asphyxiation. With this
came desperate effort to rally, re-
vival Of the natural fighting instinct
for life. The room was now filled with
gas, and had no power to turn it of.
know not how reached the door AID
got into the hall, where l sank down
and lay like a fish on land, gasping for
the element vital to its life,
.Threeo or four times rallied, and then
sank down again. So the fight went on
until in the course Of half an hour or
more the pure air and oxygen, aided by
a naturally strong constitution, re-
vived me sufficiently to seek medical
aid. ss
IT can readily believe that all are not
suicides who are found asphyxiated in
their rooms. The practice of leaving
the gas low to burn all night is danger
Gus. A puff of wind or the lessening Of
the pressure may put It out and be fol-
lowed by fatal effects"

Deep Gold Mine.


What is believed to be the deepest gold
mine in the world is being worked at
Bendigo, Australia. The mine in ques-
ton, which is called the New Chum
railway mine, has sunk its main shaft to
q depth Of 8, 900 feet, or only go feet short
Of three-quarters Of mile. The chief
problem is how to keep the tunnels and
general workings cool enough for the
miners to work in at such depth. It
is usually about 108 degrees and, to en-
able the men to work at all, spray Of
cold water let down from above has to
be kept continually playing on the bod
ies-naked from the waist upward-of
the miners. Even then they cannot
work hard, or they would faint from ex-

STRIKE INJURIES BUSINESS.
Crop Prospects Improved and Prices
for Farm Products, Promise
Good Returns.

r. G. Dun e. Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade" says: Trade conditions
were gradually becoming mere normal
after the conclusion of political con-
ventions, when a new disturbing factor
appeared in the strike of packing house
employees and allied trades. This en-
hanced prices of meats and added
many thousands to the already large
army of unemployed, weakening the
purchasing power Of the people still
further. Aside from this unfavorable
development, the news of the week
contained much encouragement. Crop
prospects improved and the general
level of prices for farm products prom
ises a large return to agriculturists,
which means better business for all
industries. Confidence grows with
the crops, retailers showing more dis
position to prepare for the future as
the season advances with no serious
setback TO the farms. A few manu-
featuring lines are more active, al
though there is still much idleness at
the shops and mills, and pig iron out
put for July will be smaller than in
any recent month. .,eports of increased
plans for erection of buildings are not
accompanied by any noteworthy ex-
pansion in demand for structural ma
terials as yet. Railway earnings for
the first week of July are only six
tenths per cent. less than last year,
and foreign trade at this port showed
gains of $3.50, ,2S6 in exports and S1,906,-
ilf in imports, as compared with the
corresponding week year ago. Tex
tile manufacturing plants are operat-
ing somewhat irregularly. Export
buying has again provided the best
feature of the market, stocks of heavy
sheotings and drills being fairly well
cleaned up. In woclen goods the week
has brought the opening up of new
lines of medium grade mems wear at
about last years prices Footwear
markets are more active, many West
ern buyers having appeared in Boston
and a fair volume of supplementary
fall orders have been placed. Tan
ners who were short Of hides are un
able to secure deliveries on account OF
the strike, and the situation threatens
TO become serious If the struggle is
prolonged. Failures this week num-
bered 225 in the United States, against
213 last year, and 90 in Canada; COM
pared with l6 a year ago.

coal and lumber. He became con-
vinced of the possibilities in the coal
and timber lands of the country sur
rounding Piedmont, and he invested
extensively in them. 1t was his con
ception to build the West Virginia
Central & Pittsburg railroad from
Cumberland along the Potomac to Its
source and across the western slope
of the Alleghanies. This road was
built and Senator Davis fortune was
made.
Senator Davis was prominent fig
ure in public affairs when West Vir-
ginia seeded from Virginia. In con-
sequence of this he became a mem
ber of the House of Delegates in 1865
and in 1867 was elected State Sen
ator. He held this office until 1869,
and in 1871 he was elected to the
United States Senate. He served two
terms there, and retired in 1888, refus-
ing to be elected again. He has been
a delegate to six Democratic National
conventions, and in 1890 was made a
member of the International Railway
Commission. He was also member
of the Pan-American Commission.
In 1884 he founded the town OF
Davis, and in 1890 he founded the
town of Elkins, which was named
after his son-in-law, Senator Stephen
b. Elkins. Senator Davis lives at
Elkins.

PICNIC TRAIN WRECKED
Misplaced Switch Causes Col

TRAINS GOING AT HIGH SPEED.
Most Of the Dead Occupied the Front
Coach, Which Plunged Into
the Wreckage.

Chicago, July 10. - Twenty persons
were killed and about 25 injured in
collision on the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois railroad at Glenwood, Ill, %
miles south of Chicago. The collision
occurred between a picnic train from
Chicago, which was returning from
Momence, ILL.,, and a freight. into the
rear of which the excursion train
dashed at high speed.
Among the dead are Carl Stewart,
Mrs. Ellen Landers, Mrs. Emma Palm
er, daughter of Mrs. Landers; Lena
Palmer, daughter of Mrs. Palmer;
Lena Hipelus, Mrs. Gerringer, Miss
Gerringer, Walter Gerringer, Andrew
Kramer, William II. Meyer, IL years.
John Poduda, years; Mamie Poduda,
3 years; nine unidentified children.
All the dead lived in Chicago, as do
all the injured, most of whom are chill
dren.
About 75 per cent of the injured sus-
tanned fractured legs. In many cases
both legs were broken.
A misplaced switch threw the pic
mic train over on the southbound track
and before the engineer could apply
the brakes 1t dashed into the rear OF
the freight. The locomotive, the bag
gage car and the first coach of the pic
mic train were demolished and all OF
the killed and injured were on the
locomotive and in the two cars. The
picnic was the annual outing of the
members of Doremus Church.
