Accordingly he lost no time in taking

the vessel, caught by the wind, sprang
away, and left the long-boat to make a
tantalizing and hopeless stern chase,
and finally, do doubt, to sink beneath

NEW HATPINs.

The hatpin bids fair to become very
noticeable, for women Of fashion now
adorn their hats with splendid jewels,
namely brooches, enriched with pearls,
diamonds or turquolses, says the Bos-

An endless variety Of hatpins is
shown in the large shops and flowers

are the prevailing motifs heading these
charming articles Among the most
favored designs are iris flowers of

AN ITALIAN LOVE STORY

The best of the stories always come
from the south, and another is at hand

Of our playwrights.

with pretty girl, Elisa Fano, and, al
though the girl herself was not averse

hid in a narrow street, and as the
women passed sprang out upon them.
In the confusion which ensued,
heightened by the intentional ma
neuvres Of the young men, the gallant
francesca threw shawl over the head
OF one Of the frightened women, and
in spite of her struggles, bore her off
to his house. Il am Francesca" he
repeated at intervals, thinking to calm
the terror of his lady love, only, how
ever, to be answered by muffied tones
from the shawl, struggles, and kicks of
such strength as to rouse his wonder
and something Of resentment that Elisa
should treat him so. Meanwhile, the
other woman had fled shrieking to
cover, followed by the men to conceal
the doings of francesca.
The bold lover carefully removed the
shawl, dropped on his knees, and raised
his eyes to those of-Elisas mother.-

FASHION NOTEs.

The Capuchin hood Of this season has
less of hugging effect than its proto-
type.
The hood is favorite with the most
elaborate wraps, its expansive surface
providing q resource for the display Of
furs and other garnitures.
Pink is generally becoming shade
ftE women, but when other shades are
more suitable, three shades of yellow,
lavender, green, blue or tan will be
found equally as effective used in this
manner.
1t is hoped that only young women
with pretty faces will fancy hats Of the
Charlotte Corday style.
Tiny narrow pompadour ribbon
ruches make pretty outer and under
brim trimming for round hats.
The Capuchin hood, often varied al
most beyond recognition of the original
type, still sees the light, although its
vogue has been a fuctuating one for
two years.
Evening coat sleeves are at their
largest extreme. In fact, it is the dol
man type, with sleeve lost in the drap-
cries Of the rest of the garments, that
have led the cape to the fore again.
Masses Of shlrrings, chiffon and lace
are employed as backgrounds for
graceful feminine figures in opera ar
ray.
In shoulders as well as skirts effects
all tend toward the flowing, and this
brings into renewed favor capes-sin-
gle, double and triple. These capes
are often edged with chenille fringe,

Al TRUE HERO.

Ass Is story about true hero,
not one of the Crusaders, not soldier
on the battlefield but real. live boy.
Two or three years ago he was work
ing Oh his fathers farm. One day in
harvest he was riding binder ana
was suddenly called to the house for
something. Never thinking Of any
danger, he did not stop to fasten his
horses, but left them standing in the
field. Before his return the team be-
came restless and started home. AS
the boy came out of the house he saw
a sight which was enough to chill ones
very heart. Two little children were
playing in the field, with their heads
bent close together, utterly absorbed
in their play. On came the team
straight for them, while the cruel
knives projected from the binder.
Little thinking of himself, the boy
rushed breathless to their rescue. He
was not minute too soon for them.
AS for himself he was thrown on his
side right under the cutter bar and
his cheek was cut open through its
whole length.
OF course they got a doctor as soon
as possible, but he must carry the
ugly scar to his dying day. We used
to shudder at the deformity, but since
we have heard his story y-not from his
own lips either-we look upon it as
mark Of honor-Clara e. willard.

TO USE SODA.

1t requires little skill OF experience
to use soda with nicely, but it is worth
while to acquire such skill; indeed,
there is scarcely an item in culinary
processes which better repays one for
intelligent experimenting. The bicar-
Donate of soda used to-day is very diff
ferent article from the carbonate of
soda or saleratus with which careless
cooks made spotted biscuits in our
grandmother's time. Used with an
acid, as buttermilk, it is as scientifcal-
ly wholesome as any article employed
as an adjunct in cookery. In many
instances baking powder can not give
as good results as soda. 1t is scarcely
possible to give an absolutely exact
rule of measurements for soda, as
brands differ somewhat in strength,
and milk varies in acidity. But a
general rule is one level teaspoonfu of
soda to one pint of sour milk. Be sure
to pulycrize the soda before mcasur-
ing.

SAVED BY A DOG.

.AOHA Ohm CASE stage driver
Il u on the mail line from Sara
o @ toga TO Dillon, is the owner
n - Of remarkably bright
sHCl shepherd dog, which money
would not buy, for he
helped his master out Of a very difficult
matter and probably saved the lives
Of four horses.
Mr. Chase was on the road to Dillon
with a four-horse sled-load Of mail
recently, aud reaching a point near
what is known as "Snow-slide hill, /"
when all four of his horses got Off the
road and all four of them got down in
the snow Chase worked for hours,
trying to get them on their feet again,
but in vain. After most heroic efforts,
all four of the horses remained "belly-
up" 1t was growing toward night
and the weather was sharp. Chase
was desperate. He saw that all Of his
efforts to get the horses up were in
vain.
Joseph Farrell and two or three other
men occupied cabin about a mile
back OH the road. Having this in mind
he turned to the dog, who was an in
terested, but helpless spectator, and
said: $50 down to the cabin and tell
those men to come up and help me-"
He had no thought that the dog would
understand, but it seems that the dog
did, for he at once started down the
trail on a run. Chase has often said
that the dog knew all that was said to
ii, but all his stories Of the dogs in
telligeace were taken with a grain of
allowance, his hearers knowing how
mueh Chase valued the canine
1t was not very long, however, before
the men, armed with shoyels, made
their appearance, accompanied by the
dog, which seemed to be leading the
way. They said the dog had come and
scratched at the door, and had shown
so much anxiety for the men to fol-
low him, running off up the road, bark
ingfand whining, that they felt that its
master must be in trouble. SO they
bundled themselves. procured shoyels
and determined to find out, If possible.
just what was the matter.
With the help of the men the horses |
were gotten OH to their feet once more. |
There was hay in the sled, but as it |
was still on the trail, 1t was too high |
for the horses to reach 1t. SO the |
snow was shoveled away to let it down
TO a point where the horses could feed
with comfort, and the outfit left for
the night, Chase and the men returning
TO the cabin for the night.
The next morning Chase was able to
get the team on to the road once more
and finished his journey without
further mishap. Chase says that money
could not buy that dog, and he never
makes trip over that road without
the dog along Saratoga (Wyo) Sun.

WHEN THE SHOES ARE DAMP.

Much advice is given from time to
time in regard to the care of young
sters' shoes as they come in from
school, wet and misshapen from contact
with wet pavements and the uncon-
fessed wading in puddles, which is sure
to delight the heart of the small boy.
But with all this advice about keeping
the children's shoes in good condition.
those belonging to the older people
are usually allowed to take care Of
themselves, though they may be Of
greater Importance and quite as often
damp.
Few people give proper care to their
shoes, says the American Cultivator
They come in damp, tired, cold, per-
haps, and possibly not in the best of
tempers, fling their shoes off impatient
ly, get into slippers as quickly as posi-
BILE, and sit down to rest, forgetting
that their shoes will be in scarcely
wearable condition by the next morn
ing
If every one would invest in quart
or two of good clean oats, and keep
them in a bag in the dressing room
they would have at hand the means
of putting their shoes in good condition
with very little trouble and less cost
AS soon as the shoes are taken off,
lace or button them up, and fill them
about two-thirds full Of oats, shake
them down well, then tie in a handker-
chief a parcel of oats as large as can
be pressed into the top of the shoes to
fill the remaining space and put the
shoes away until wanted. The oats
absorb the moisture in the shoes, and
in absorbing it the oats swell consid-
erably, and the constant pressure on
the leather keeps the shoe in correct
shape and prevents that uncomfortable
stiffness and rigidity always noticed
when leather has been wet, A little
trouble and care of this sort will save
many a pair of shoes, and will in all
probability save many corn from be-
ing formed by the pressure Of shoes
hardened from dampness.

YOUNG WOMEN AND HOMES.

Are the young women of the present
day becoming more and more es-
tranged to their homes and relatives
What is it that takes young girls from
the home nest and gives them that de
sire to be their own support and man
ager? There are many, many cases
told each day by sad parents, which
bring to light this discussion. Their
daughters have left home, each for a
different purpose, and all entirely
against the wishes of the parents. A
heart-rendering story came to light a
few days ago, bearing on the disappear
ance of an only daughter who had
been reared in luxury and had just
been graduated from one of the best
known colleges in the country. Her
parents We're rather elderly and their
sufferings were heart-rendering. She
had been quite an artist in college and
the desire to become famous in that
art over-ruled all conventionalities, and
one day her trunks and herself had
disappeared. Her home was i'll the
West and she had evidently started for
New York. Her mother, a beautiful
woman of great dignity, received a
letter few days after her disappear
ance telling that home life was not for
her. That she is destined to be a great
artist and with present surroundings
IA studio life) it was probable and very
possible to obtain her goal 1t also
told them not to worry, that she was
getting on "swimmingly," and making
her own living was quite pleasure.
Perhaps the saddest part of all was
the absence of her address. Since the
receipt of the first letter no others
have been received, and it is indeed
a sad home with father and mother
waiting anxiously for just word from
their daughter
This is only one of many cases.
Home nowadays TO a majority of girls
is the last place in her thoughts. The
comfort of mothers love and atten-
ton are not greatly appreciated, and
rather than remain by the fireslde they
prefer working for small Sums of
money and merely existing and they
disdain to accept money from their par
ents to help matters The cause has
not yet been found why these cases
occur so often, and mothers and fathers
are at a loss to know how to remedy
matters.-Newark Advertiser.

sURpRIsED INDIANS.

1t is small wonder that the first
view of white man created terror
among the superstitious Indians. A
striking instance Of this occurred when
the Wallawalla Indians first met Cap
tain Clark, Of the Lewis and Clark
expedition. Thinking to prcpitiate the
savages and allay their fears Of the
white men, he planned to visit vii
lage Of the Wallawallas before the ar
rival Of the rest of his party.
With this end in view he set out to
cross the Columbia River in a canoe,
taking three men with him. On the
way he shot crane and duck, both
Of which fell near him. He landed
before five wigwams placed close to
each other, but not a person was Wis
ible, and the doors, which were Of mat,
were closed. Holding his pipe in hand.
as an indication of good will, he pushed
aside one of the doors and entered the
lodge.
Inside were thirty men, women and
children huddled together in terror. He
went to them, shook each by the hand
and said some friendly word, express
ing by word and manner his kindly
feeling. Their apprehensions were al
layed until he took out his burning
glass and lighted his pipe by the rays
of the sun. CONSERVATION again pre-
vailed, and what might have occurred
but for the timely arrival of two chiefs
who knew the white men can not be
told.
1t seems that the Indians had not
seen Captain Clark, but they had seen
the white crane which he had shot fall
just before his appearance. They had
also seen the duck fall at his shot.
They considered the fall Of the birds
with his advent and thought that he
had fallen from the clouds.
The sound of the rifle, which they
had never before heard, they believed
was signal to announce the white
mans coming. Small wonder, then,
that their hardly allayed fears were
again aroused when he brought down
fire from heaven by means of his burn
ing glass Youths Companion.
