Pettieoat with Street Dress.


For a cloth street dress dark pet
ticoat is, of course, best, but this skirt
must now be made either of figured
brocade or taffeta, fitting well over
the hips, while at the knees is added
a double f1ounce which at it's hem
should be anywhere from five to eight
yards in width While the inner
founce is of plain black or white taf-
feta, according to the color of the skirt,
the outside f1ounce is trimmed with
tucks ana insertions of lace as elabo-
rately as desired. One extremely pret-
ty petticoat was of black and white
striped silk, or, rather, white silk
with a broad black stripe, while the
flounce was of white taffeta trimmed
with rows of Chantil1y entire deux and
bands of black velvet ribbon. There
were four rows of the two-inch inser-
ton with lace edging at the end of the
founce. Each row of lace was equal
1y distant from the one above and
between each band of lace were three
rows of black velvet, the top one
half inch, the lower a full inch in
width. Under this founce was a plain
fOunce of white taffeta the same width
as the outside With a petticoat of
this sort no skirt can possibly cling in
about the ankles

New Style of Hairdressinq.

A new style of hairdressing is
shown in conjunction with one of the
newest shapes in hats. The hair is
erranged in a loosely waved pompa-
dour in front and gathered into a
round knot, over which a hair net is
crawn at the back. The knot is drawn
high enough so that the bandeau at
the back of the hat finds support.
The hat itself is one of the new dou-
ble shapes, the round crown and inner
half of the brim being of black velvet,
the remainder of the brim being of a
fine black felt. The left side is turned
up sharply and draped with long
black plumes, the bandeau lifting the
shape at the back being covered with
loops of black satin.

STRANGE ANIMAL STORIES TOLD
BY BRITISHERS.
Mission to Seistan Had Some Queer
Experiences-Huntin Mad Jackals
One of the Chief Pleasures of a
Monotonous Trip.

Some strange stories about animals
are told by the members of the Brit
ish arbitration mission to Seistan,
who have recently returned home.
There was in particular a tame wolf
which followed the mission for long
time because it had the ki> dliest feel
1ngs toward the generous cook. Moth
ing would induce the animal to leave
the camp until at last the mission,
having to return to India, conveniently
lost it in the jungle, although it had
become quite tame One of the ter

jackals. One night they bit seventy
eight camels, of which forty died.
They also bit two natives, who sue

Pretty Crochet Work.

To those clever with a crochet
needle it may be interesting to know
that one of the handsomest bedspreads
shown at recent exhibition of art
needlework was entirely fashioned
from scraps of colored linen Joined
with crochet work in most simple
design. The linen cut into octagon
shaped pieces showed every variety of
color and shade, though none was
either white or black. These were
neatly hemmed all around, and then
each onewa embroidered in a single
large flower worked with white fiat
thread. Squares of white cotton crochet
connected the linen pieces, and, of
course, measured exactly the size
square of one of the eight sides of the
octagonal pieces. One will set in with
the other. When complete the spread
was edged with handsome deep
crochet lace, and no more effective
piece of work was to be seen.

New Design in Waists.

A new waist has been devised in
which there is no opening except at
the neck 1t is adapted to soft silk
and cloths and to wash material. The
waist may be made in any model, but
always has deep inverted plait on
the shoulders. A double line of tiny
buttons fastens the edges of the plaits
and when these are unbuttoned the
atra cloth is released, the opening is
-arge enough for the head and shout
ders to slip through. For chi1dren'e
!resses the model is to be especially
commended. 1t is also well adapted

OF beading, and for the knots and
bows that are lavishly used upon a
dainty undergarment the ribbon rep
resents quite an expenditure. The
sensible woman, or the woman with
a competent maid, does not have
fresh ribbon run in after each launder-
ing. The mussed ribbons, when taken
out of the soiled garments, are wound
tightly and smoothly over pieces of
cardboard or over one of the long
spools provided for the purpose, and
ii badly crumpled are pressed with an
iron before the winding, though an
iron is likely to take the crispness out

The driver stopped the wagon, and
Col. Pope, dismounting, called out to
the boy: What will you take to let
me shoot at your ducks and have all
I kill?"
The boy, after thinking a minute.
replied: You can have one shot
from the bridge for $5.''
The colonel at once said he would
accept the offer. Calling the boy to
the bridge, he gave him a crisp $5
bill; and, carefully taking aim, fired.
Three ducks fell over dead.
Turning to the boy, one of the party

Make a syrup of a cupful of sugar
and three-quarters of a cupful of water
boiled together for ten minutes; then
set aside until cold. Mix half pint of
orange juice and a gill of lemon Juice
and sweeten abundantly with the cold
syrup. In sweetening this beverage
remember that the ice is still to be
added, and that this, in melting, will
dilute the syrup and thus render the
drink more acid. Fill tumb1ers to the
brim with finely cracked ice and pour

Some years since, Col Pope, E. d.
Jordan and the late Marcellus Ed

in building a new hotel at Chatham,
says a writer in the Boston Herald.
These gentlemen late in the autumn
made trip down the Cape to select
the site for the hotel. Thinking there
might be some cunning, they took
their guns along, but on the third day
were returning in large wagon
across the sand to the railroad sta
ton without having seen any game.
AS they approached bridge over a
small stream boy was observed
standing beside pond some distance

The latter turned in astonishment
and surveyed his tall friend with

the statement:

coat for an undercoat."
And then both laughed.

YEARS OF ELECTRICAL
 INDUSTRY.

Twenty years or so ago the products of electrical enterprise were very crude and limited. It can be well remem- bered by some how a plumbing sys- tenn was attached to the early Jumpo dvnamos. This was the only effective
 way of keeping them cool. Scientihc knowledge was so rare that even the mechanical specialization of the things hest known stood on the ragged edge of failure. Arc lamps. incandescenJ lamps. dynamos and motors were pure lv experimental in character. spark ing at the brush was considered a healthy sign. and the continuous. though uneven, light of an arc lamp a distinct victory. Retrospection shows how much things have changed since then. It points out the advance Tn the fields that mark the most intense dis plays of progress and energy. IL shoWS how the incandescent lamp has reach ed a high state of perfection. the arc lamp a degree of regulation that leaves no criticism, the motor an efficiency that has established it in the majority
 of commercial and industrial projects for all time, and the dynamo q posi- .riOn in the nations development that makes it's utilization indispensable
 The last is but a sign of what Is to come. Larger and larger each year the generator has grown, until now its size is becoming that of a behemoth-
 The kilowatts capacity are being in creased at so rapid a rate that little

MEAT SELDOM EATEN.

The Arabs live almost entirely on dates and a coarse kind of bread, and drink little else than water. It is sell dom that they partake of animal food. If a stranger of any importance pays them a visit. a kid is killed and cakes are baked Sometimes on great oc- casiOns, a camel is slain. and then the whole family or tribe assemble to partake of the dainty. The Arabs us ually take a meal of meat before an ardous journey, and give a share of it to their steeds. Rice and cameTs milk boiled together form a favorite dish; so do dates, bread and butter and milk, made into a paste and eaten hot.

ROYALTY DIDN'T COUNT

The duchess of Albany never per mitted her children to be sDoilt, as the following will show: The present duke of Saxe- CobUrg and GOtha went to Sandroyd House school, Gotham, kept by Rev L. H. Wellesley-W Wesley. a descendent of both the Iron Duke and the great preacher. It was rule of the school that boy who split ink on the boards scrubbed it out one day the little duke of Albany was the cuIprit, and was told to go to the housemaid and bring a pail and scrub bing brush. With an indignant look, he reminded his tutor that he was the "uueen's grandson" The protest was followed by a quiet repetition of the order. and the angry youngster was compelled to perform the task. The duchess expressed great appreciation on hearing the story.
