fashionable woman's waist must neces-
sarily be very limited, and when q
dressmaking establishment or q tailor
conceives q smart effect that suits the
general run of figures he or she is pretty
apt to work the design overtime. This
duplicating of models even in details
of dress is always little bit annoying
and the happiest way to escape this
monotony of repetition is to design your
own belts and girdles. II it isn't easy
to do the entire designing by yourself.
at least little originality can be in
fused into one Of the copied CONNECTIONS
and new effect secured in this way.
Both taffeta and soft silks vie with
velvet 1t present for first choice OF ma
terial from which girdles are made, and
the balance is just a little In favor OF the
velvet IN account of it's reintroduction
among the fabrics Of fashion. Besides
it lends itself admirably to the crushing
and shirring, to say nothing of the snug
ness which characterizes the modish
girdle.
Plain effects are usually carried out
in velvet. The most popular style Of
this material is nothing more than Z
ten inch bias strip Of velvet crushea
into folds so that it measures about
three and Z half inches in front and
scarcely two in the back. A silk encased
whalebone to which the plaits are
fastened gives the proper sti1fening to
the front, and the same means Is used
In the back.

on the table, and the family had
gathered around to listen to the new
music which Mr.. Leigh had brought
for the entertainment of the girl sit
ting in the shadow Of the curtains.
For once he almost regretted his
popularity in the family, for while
his heart was one moment agitated by
hope and the next dulled by fear. he
was anxious to learn the fate which
awaited him. He had asked the hand
of the girl in marriage, and tonight he
was to learn his fate. For awhile the
family listened, then turned away. Mr..
Leigh said:

IN A BUDDHIST CATHEDRAL
Amazing Musical Service in the
Superb Monastery, the Po-
tala, at Lhassa.

A visit to service In the great
Buddhist cathedral, the potala at Lhassa,
is described by Edmund Chandler, says
the London Mail. The only imposing
building in Lhassa, he says, is this Budd-
hist cathedral and monastery.
The potala 10 superbly detached. It ia
not palace on q hill, but hill that is
also q palace. Its massive wallis, its ter
races and bastions, stretch upward from
tho plain to the CREST as II the great
bluff rock were merely 4 foundation
stone planted there at the divinity nod.
The divinity dwells in the palace and
underneath, at the distance Of furlong
or two, humanity is huddled abjectly in
squalid, smut-begrimed houses. Above
all this squalor the potala towers SUI
perbly. Its golden roofs shining in the
sun like tongues Of fire, are landmark
for miles and must inspire awe and ven
Grafton in the hearts of pilgrims coming
from the desert parts Of Tibet, Kash-
mir and Mongolia to visit the sacred city
that Buddha has blessed.
The service which Mr.. Chandler was
permitted to attend were amazing for
their musical features. He says:
The monks have extraordinarily deep,
devotional voices, reaching deeper tones
than any western bass. The voice Of
1000 monks resembles the drone' of a
subterranean monster, unsteady plain
tive-the voice of the earth god pray
ing for release to the gods Of the skies.
In the inner temple are three enormous
images of the Buddhist trinity, set with
jewels from foot to crown. In the upper
story, in 4 place we called blades"
some lamas were worshiping the demon
protectress Of tho grand lama. The
music here was harsh and barbaric. On
pillars and on the walls were displayed
freaks Of diabolical invention in the
shape Of scrolls and devil masks. The
object of this worship was huddled in a
corner, dwarflsh abortion, hideous
and malignant. All about the lama's
feet ran little white mice, searching for
grain, with which they are fed daily.
They are scrupulously cared for, as in
their bodies the souls of previous guard
ians Of the shrine are believed to be re-
incarnated. Some Of the rites were con-
Quoted in deep and impressive silence.
The monks sat like stone figures, as ii
oblivious Of our presence. The reek Of
candles was almost suffocating.

Poison in Sierra Leoue.

It 10 stated by the Journal Of the AMI
can society that for some years death by
poison has been the subject of talk In
the colonoy of Sierra Leone. No cue, it
would appear, dies from natural causes.
Poisoning in one form or another is put
down as the cause of death not only
among the poor, but also among the rich.
A vegetable poison that produces par
alysis is used.

GORGEOUS PERUVIAN ROBE
Magnificent Specimen Of Ancient
Inca Weaving Lately
Brought to View.

What IL said to be the finest and most
gorgeous garment Of ancient Peruvian
workmanship ever recovered and which
is classed as one of the most extraordi-
nary pieces Of primitive weaving in the
world, says a writer in the st. Louis Re-
public, is q multicolored royal poncho,
interviewer front and back into 100
squares, while these In turn contain
more than 300 additional figures, maxi
ing 500 varied designs used. The squares
contain different geometiric patterns, a
conspicuous one being series Of ter
racelike steps, with bird, thought to
be the condor, ascending.
The two lower sections contain the
border which depicts q conventionalized
warrior, with lamp and shield, in sew
eral attitudes. Other types Of ponchos
and shawl-like garments are ornamented
with large hammered disks of silver the
size of an ordinary saucer. These, as
we'll as the border, are festooned with
handsome feather work. Great numbers
of these fabrics were prepared and con-
sumed in religious and ceremonial rites
and sacrificial observances. Many
young girls were demanded as yearly
tribute from distant conquered tribes.
and during tho period Of their captiv-
ity were engaged in weaving these bril-
liant ponchos, though they were des-
tined themselves to be offered up as a
sacrifice on some great occasion. A
year or more. It 10 thought, was needed
by these captives to turn out an elab-
crate ornamental poncho.
Special care was taken to preserve the
feet wild vicuna, which furnished the
fine wool. A special game preserve was
SGT apart for them by the lords and the
ordinary people were not allowed to
hunt in 1t. The coarse wool of the
llama and alpaca was allotted to the
common folk for the weaving Of their
apparel, while the hne, silklike skeins
of the vicuna were reserved for the no.
bility and the ruling incas. The color
of the vicuna's wool is a rudy yellow,
and It retains its hue forever.

teeth. Addressing the students of the

a house for a man with bad teeth was
waste of money, for he polluted the

taminated the most wholesome food as
he ate It.

HOUSES IN ONE SOLID PIECE.
Novel Plan Of Constructing Them Of
Concrete Is Tried in New
York City.

A novel plan Of house building has
made it's appearance In some of the
suburbs, says the New York World.
The usual way has been to build
house out of stone, brick or wood, in
pieces which are mortared or nailed
and can be sectionally taken apart
Under the new plan house Is all one
piece and after few years exposure
the walls are like solid rock. The
material used in concrete.
Every" one has seen the way In
which the workmen on the subway
mixed their concrete to make the lin
ing and filling for the tunnel. In tho
new method of building house walls
the concrete Is mixed in much like
manner and poured into a mold. Be-
ginning with the foundation the mold
is raised foot by foot as the concrete
is poured in and hardens, until, when
the roof is reached, the whole wall is
a solid mass. Holes are left for the
doors and windows during the con-
struction.
This system is cheaper than stone
or brick and at the present price Of
lumber and shingles, than wood, I'M
less the wooden house is flimsily con-
structed. Its advantage is also in
permanency in painting and repairs.
The concrete Of which the walls are
built is more cheaply mixed than the
concrete used for subway work, where
there has to be q constant jar and
more tensile strength required. The
proportions on subway work and sand.
On house work one part of cement to
seven or eight parts Of gravel or
crushed stone insures q strong wall,
If properly made and set, and If .
coating Of best quality Portland &C.
ment is washed over the outside.
Where gravel. small stones and
sand are readily accessible and cheap
ly to be had, as they are in almost
all of New York's suburbs, the main
expense of a concrete house is for tho
cement. This can be lessened by US
ing the cheaper grades Of Rosendale
the more expensive Portland cement
only as wash.
II plenty of suitable stones have
been found In digging the cellar they
may be used for the foundation. or the
concrete construction may begin from
the foundation trench and continue
solidly to the roof.
The molds are either wood or metal.
with q hollow core. The object Of the
core is to save material without loss
Of strength and to provide for an air
circulation within the wall. Hollow
concrete walls are cooler in the sum-
mer and warmer in the winter than .
solid stone or brick wall.
Walls made in this manner may be
tinted any color both inside and out
by coloring the Portland cement wash.
The color then cannot wear of, az 1t
10 part Of the wall. Floor beams are
set in tho concrete as in brick or
stone wall now. Windows, doors and
frames are inserted as now.
Several Of these concrete houses
have been ornamented in novel way
by sculptor friends Of the owners.
The material is almost as soft as clay
when first put up. It can readily be
modelled into faces, figures, scroll work
or any kind of designs. Skillfully
done this concrete modelling gives tho
effect Of stone carving at . small
fraction of the expense.

Large Horticultural Display at Carter
& Emmons' Store.

The citizens of this place and
the visitors TO our town were at
tracted to the fine exhibit of veg
etables, corn and grain, which was
raised on the farm of Carter &
Emmons located two miles west
of town and which were on
display in their store window
last Friday and Saturday.
There were potatoes that would
go 40 bushels to the acre; pun
pkins and squash that would tip
the sca'e at Is pounds; cucum-
bers, carrots. beets. radish and
turnips that can't be beat; and a
shock of ripe dent corn, guaran
teed to ripen in this country in 90
days; and bundle of Macaroni
wheat which measured over 5 feet
in height, raised by O. E. Bowen,
and a bunch of second crop straw
berries, picked by J. H. Bolte on
his farm.
This display of Villas county
products was the best ever seen on
exhibit and it readily goes to
show what can be raised in this
county with proper care and cult
walton. The above display alone
would have done Villas county JUS
1ice at the State Fair.
Mr.. Emnons' father, Geo. c.
Emnons, man over u years old
was in charge of the farm upon
which the above vegetables was
raised and if an old man can raise
such farm produce, there is no
reason why younger men can't do
as we'll with the same soil and
weather conditions all over Villas
county.
