spur must be fled and kept very sharp

but instead cut a fine, sharp line. 1t
should project 1-16 inch, but the depth
of the cut made by the spur can be
varied at will by simply fitting the
gauge over more or less from the
operator. Hold the head of the gauge
in the right hand and place the
thumb of the same hand directly be-
hind the spur. In this position the
hand can hold the head firmly against
the surface, and the pressure of the
thumb behind and against the spur
will enable the beginner, after few
trials, to run straight and true line.
Never draw the gauge backward, but
always push the tool away from the
operator.

1t is often necessary to lay out lines

not at right angles to or square with

an edge at greater or less angle than

Death Of Guard Bloom.

It is seldom we chronicle the
death of one of those who has been
in our midst for some time. This
week we have the sad duty of
mentioning the death of Guard
Bloom, who has been at this
institution for the past eleven
years.
Mr.. Bloom was sick only short
time, he being excused from duty
November 18th. Until last Thurs
day it was thought that he would
soon recover, as he was about the
house as cheerful as ever. But on
Thursday evening he grew worse,
and took to his bed. He rapidly
declined until his death, which
occurred Sunday evening at eight
o'clock. Bright's disease was the
cause of his death, he being a
sufferer from this dreaded malady
for some time. He was about
fifty years old and leaves a grief
stricken wife and four children to
mourn his departure. Mr.. Bloom
was a native of Sweden, but came
to this country when a bow.
In the death of Mr.. Bloom his
sorrowing wife loses kind and
considerate husband; his children,
a gentle and affectionate father;
and as guard at this institution,
the prisoners will miss one who
always had their best interests at
heart. To the officers and guards,
he was quiet and unassuming, but
at all times true gentleman.

Gbautauqua Injecting.

Every member responded to
roll-call at the regular meeting of
the Chautauqua Circle last Sun
day afternoon. The assigning to
a class of new member was fol-
lowed by the presidents reading
OF the program for the day and

TO report at the next meeting as
we'll as outlining briefly the pro-
gram for the next quarterly meet
ing, to be held December oath.
The lack of some topic to discuss
under the head of "new business"
was an unusual occurrence as we'll
as good feature.
The program was then begun
by class report entitled "Daniel
Webster" which began as would
biographical sketch but soon as
sumed the tone of criticism in
regard to his actions as a states.
man.
The second number was by the
leader of class B whose subject
was physical Culture" This pa
per was good treatlse from the
"oulture" point of view and in the
discussion which followed it was
contended that muscle so produced
was "mushy,'' to which the author
retorted very sharply.
A special report on the ''The
Army Canteen," by a member of
class A, was next on the program
and was descriptive account of
personal experiences before and
after the passage of the anti-can-
teen law. He said that while he
had high regard for the noble
work of the W. G. T. u, he be-
lieved they had done the Ameri-
can soldier an injustice in their
persistent efforts to abolish the
army canteen. The discussion of
this subject was quite prolonged;
the substance of which was, that
q soldier who wants his beer will
get it, canteen or no canteen.
Concluding the program was q
substitute report by the secretary,
entitled Something about Words, -
but as the supply of bouquets is
exhausted, mere mention will suf-
fee.
Critics report was next in order
and that dignitary proceeded in
his bland manner to remind the
offending ones Of the improperly
of discussing their own reports,
and also that the criticism of pa
pers was becoming too prevalent.
Aside from stating his views on
the various subjects he found no
cause to criticise.
By order of the president the
meeting adjourned.

T"N THE millinery world the ostrich
IH plume is the thing above all
kAk others which makes for grace
I0GH9oI and beauty and charm. and its
sS lavish use this winter bids fair to
bankrupt the feminine world at large. 1t
is the exception when II does not appear
somewhere on the smart, dressy hat and
for evening and reception wear, as a pro-
tectien for miladrs neck, in colors and
shadings to match those on the chapeau.
With a charming toque this idea was
carried out most effectively in the get-up
OF recent visitor at a fashionable New
York cafe. The hat was a small tricorne
Of chiffon velvet in a peculiar shade of
scarlet. GFacing the right side where the
brim turned over almost IN cavalier style
were four plumes Of the same shade as the
hat, caught by a large rhinestone buckle.
Lying fiat around the neck, short cravat
built from tips OF the scarlet feathers was
fastened at one side by tiny rhinestone
buckle. The Irish blue eyes and deep
brown hair OF the beauty whom this hat
and scarf adorned seemed to belong to a
land outside of common earth, so won
drously did they stand out from this bril-
liant frame.
Neck pieces in the more delicate shades
OF pluineS as well as those Qyed IN deep
royal colorings also accompany feather
trimmed hats. and If flowers are employed
on the latter they also fasten the tiny
craYat.
Massive feathers at the back OF a hat is
a favorite method of trimming this sea-
son, and, as a usual thing, a number of
comparatively short tips do service rather
than expensive, long plumes. For the
woman who is blessed with a golden hair,
a youthful and unusual hat shows high,
rounding crown with rather broad brm in
front. Turned abruptly at the back, a
bunch Of short white ostrich tips curve
over and under the brim and fall with
fetching grace to the bottom of the Golf
fure. White brocaded satin ribbon encIr-
cles the crown and forms a coquettish bow
a little to one side.
An English model similarly trimmed with
