Seemingly Impossible Stunt Which
the Active Boy May Accomplish
* with q Little Care.

40 doubt you have often heard how
impossible 1t is for q man to lift him
self from the ground by pulling on
the strap of his boots. Other things
are supposed to be equally impossible,
one of them being to lift oneself by
means of rope and pulley.
While this is perfectly true in the
case of straight pull, there is q very
simple way to do it which you may
easily prove to the establishment OF
your friends. -.
Throw a rope over the limb OF a
tree, and in one end of the rope make
strong loop large enough to hold
your foot Now, directs the Cincin'
natl Commercial Tribune, you are to
pull yourself up, as the boy in the
picture IS doing. You stand on me

Good Hair Tonic.

The treatment of the scalp will de-
pend largely on the condition Of the
hair. II the scalp Is very oily, you
will need q hair tonic especially
adapted to the trouble, while the hair
is shampooed very frequently with the
green soap. The following, tonic is
used for an oily scalp: 1t is made
from 20 grains of quinine sulphate,
four drains of bay rum, one dram OF
tincture of cantharides, one dram Of
tincture of capsicum and eight ounces
Of distilled water.

MATERIALS OF THE SEASON
Powered StuhHs Now to the Fore and
Silks Of Various Sorts Appeal to
Economical Purchaser.

The new materials look surprisingly
like pictures of flower gardens, for they
show many blooms arranged upon o
common ground. One of these new
stuffs, crispy, silky print, was in very
pale lemon color, while upon it were
little garden roses, numerous forget-me-
nots, and many white flowers. In the
background, almost covering 1t, were
white lilies. This Powered stun was
for an evening dance dress and was to
be made up with pipings Of lemon color.
The evening silks are admirable and
one would almost advise them in prefer
ence to the thinner stuffs for evening.
There is something about a silk gown
which makes it more suitable for per-
son of moderate means than one of thin
ner material. It wears better and is
more certain to hold its style. Chiffon
broadcloth makes a handsome evening
dress, and we are returning to tho
merino dinner gown, with its trimmings
Of buttons and silk ruffles.
Here are the materials in the order OF
their desirability. There is pongee taf-
feta, which is a very good material. It
wears better than taffeta, yet it has its
shining face. This makes up beauti-
fully for evening and can be remodeled
a little and worn with an Elton for fall
wear for receptions, and even for after.
Moons.
Next to pongee taffeta, though quits
different, is pompadeur crepe de chine,
which is one Of the newest and prettiest
Of stuffs. 1t is, as its name suggests,
crepe de- chine, but upon its face ther'
are lovely big roses, pompadour rose
of rankest and most beautiful growth
A pompadour crepe de chine In either
white or black, with big pink roses, is
beautifully lgirdled with pink, piped
with pink and worn with skirt of the
same, or with skirt to match the waist
in color, but not in material.
The lowered bobbinets come this year
in quality which shows great deal of
stability. There is heavy bobbinet,
with a medium sized mesh, which makes
up in the most approved manner. It ia
the very best material one can have for
evening wear in the summer time, for
it is very durable, not very expensive,
and very easily made.

stead Of cutting the front through the
center, one handkerchief may be used
on each side, making the necessary full

fancied, in which case two are used for
the back. Where five or six are utilized
the neck is not shaped but the corners
are turned down.

Ransacking the World for Goatskins.
1t is reported that the present demand
for goat-kid skins in England exceeds
anything of the kind before known, and
that the remotest places in Europe, In

Edward Wright, school boy, was
shot by a man on an express wagon

Employers stated this morning
that they would send out twenty-five
hundred wagons.
There were number of outbreaks
yesterday, the most serious being a
fight which was started by nonun-
ion driver who being chased by strike
sympathizers called on his comrades
for help. They responded and in the
battle which followed three colored
men were badly hurt.
Pierce was a union teamster and
was shot and killed by George T.

guarding a Wells Fargo express wag-
on. Pierce was passing when the wag-
on under guard of several deputies.
