BEAUTIFUL NEWFOUNDLAND.
Scenery So Beautiful That Parts Of
It Vie with Famed Kill
larney.

In looking over your magazine was
surprised to find how little mention
is made of Newfoundland, with almost
unlimited game, both fish and fowl,
deer and bear, for those that go far
enough, writes Bessie Began Cowman,
in Recreation.
And scenery so beautiful that parts
Of it vie with famed Killarney. The
rugged grandeur of Pete harbor, Or the
beautiful bay of Outer Cove, and the
rock hills near Logy bay. I may be
prejudiced, but l have not seen any,
thing pictured to come near them.
Oh, Newfoundland, with your beau
tiful bayous and shining creeks, where
in salmon and that pet of good ang-
lers, speckled trout, with its firm,
pink flesh, abound. ! often wonder
that more lovers of fine sport don't
visit you. Topsail is an ideal place
to spend a summer: its beautiful seen.
cry, the old-fashioned hospitality of
its people leave nothing to be desired.
And then, in September, when the
partridge or ptarmigan comes in, what
sport to go up to Pettigrew's and out
to Toad's cove, when the ship, a point
out on the barrens, usually finishes the
trip. Then the lovely ride back amidst
such scenes as can only be found
among people that both fish and farm
for a living.

You see, it was this way. Once

of ground white turnips, cause it

The Parisians cannot submit ID
strictly tailored dress for women, and
give to even the tailored shirt waist
feminine touches to detract from Sc
verify. They add to the sporting"
waist linen collar and tie of sheer
lawn, of such prettiness as to look any
thing but mannish. It is the French
that have brought about the return OF
the high down linen collar, but Is
is an embroidered linen, II you please;
and worn with it tie of sheerest
lace lawn, lace edged, or row of
perky little bows. The combination OF
fluffy cravat and STIFF collar is really
very good, to be recommended; it gives
a dainty, fresh look, and softens the
face.
Lave frills adorn the front OF the
up-to-date gown, the old-fashioned ia
hot somewhat modified. Stock and
fluffiness are attached, making their
adjustment to the dress very easy
matter. Deep collars, giving the eff
feet of yoke back and front, are seen,
and some very handsome ones. The
deem cuffs and fancy chemisette are
still considered good style, but oftener
now the chemisette is worn outside.
The other day at matinee we could no.
help noticing the daintiness OF tina
neckware worn by very trim young
gilr. and thought how much nicer such
things looked when worn-and worn
right-than when merely displayed IN
a glass case. The costume was dark
hlue the soft silk waist beautifully
made dull gray-blue. With the blouse
a turnover collar OF sheerest lava,
6elfcately hand-embroidered, and point
ed ours of the same, gave an appro-
nriate nnish to the untrimmed waist
beautiful In its good lines and perfect
simplicity. The coat OF the suit, a
short one and less elaborate than usu-
ally worn to-day, was relieved from Sc
verify by small coat collar and cuffs
of heavy lace.
VERY handsome belts are shown at
the shops. but we would suggest that
only the neatest waist can stand any
thing very gay. A black spangled belr
sports a deep gold slide in the back
and a gold clasp in front. There are
beautiful belts of embossed blue leath-
er, and of heavy embroidery on can
vas. In contrast to these we mention
the belts of self-material considered
best style for the shirt-waist suit.
Perhaps mere is nothing better to
choose for an all-rounc belt than a
soft suede the color OF ones street
suit.
To return to neckwear for a mo-
ment, have you seen any of the pretty
little lace dog-collars for wear with
evening press or with summer
frock? They are fashioned of three
or four rows of real lace insertion, and
the five bars, or supports into TIMES.

set pious example to the rest of the
animals by their meek and lowly con-

The sacred COW got her horseradish

One sees SO many contradictory
things said about corsets, it may be
well to mention that the old-fashioned
hish-busted corset has not returned
to favor. It is still the fiat abdomen,
the straight front. To be sure the
Empire gowns demand higher bust
than a mere girdle can give, but those
that affect the Empire should keep
corset specially for this mode, not
make use of 1t with dresses having the
normal waist line. There really is
little change noticeable in corsets,
though the extreme dip front is thing
quite OF the past.
The old plain shirt waist, made of
shifting, promises to be revived-and
neat, useful garment it is, too. Mulls
OF delicate colors are to be worn, and
we feel almost sure colored shirtings
will in course of time become very
popular, and shove into the background
the white waist that has ruled so long.
Some time ago we called attention
to the probable vogue this spring of
the checked or plaid skirt with plaa1
jacket. This promises to be the model
walking costume of the season, and is
bota jaunty and neat. The illustration
here given appeared in the Dry Goods
Economist, and is an excellent model
The skirt has plated panels of plain
cloth, the waistcoat is of check.
An effective trimming, and ineXpen-
sive, is coarse linen galloon on which
are worked oriental devices in gay
colors Ecru and gray are the ia
vorite linens, and sometimes tinsel
thread is used to outline the DESIGN.
This spring we have the four-piecs
suit-skirt, waists, two coats. The
waist is made of lighted material than
the suit, one coat is very short, the
other long enough for evening wear.

Gray promises to be most fashion

afternoon affairs, they are quite out.
We are thankful for this much grace.
however, and rejoice that no fiat has
gone forth that would move foolish
woman to return to the trailing skirt
as the only thing, morning, afternoon
and evening.
Lightweight goods and light colors
will prevail this spring, and vo1les
again are in highest favor. Wolfe IS
a very pretty material, and appropriate
for so many uses it should be well
coined gladly; fancy ones are shown,
invisible checks and plaids, and
there are some attractive floral designs.
Rough weaves in silk are liked, and
there are the loveliest soft fine radium
silks ever seen; the latter will be en-
ployed for the more elaborate dress,
and make ideal summer dancing
frocks. It is pretty expensive, but so
lovely as to prove very tempting; one
may ease ones conscience when puT-
chasing by promising to make the
dress do duty as ''best" for long

seen had an indistinct design of q

account of the size OF his mouth, ana
he swallowed it at one mouthful. First
he looked as though he felt hurt, and
stopped chewing, and seemed to be
thinking, like horse that wakes up
in the night with collie, and raises the
whole family to sit UP with him all
night and pour things down his neck
out of a long-neck bottle. The hippo
held his breath for about minute,
and then he opened his mouth SO you
could drive a wagon in, and gave the
grand hailing sign of distress, and
said: Wow, WOW, wow" as plain as
a man could Then he rolled over into
his tank and yelled murder" and wal
lowed around, and stood on his head,
till one of the keepers went in the
cage to try to soothe him. He chased
the keeper out, and the crowd that
had just begun to come in fell back
in terror.
There was quite crowd around the
camels watching them peacefully chew

double-hump camel got his quart OF

Coffin Turns over in Grave.


Harrisburg, Pa.-More than six years
after the death of John d. Scott, once
a deputy sheriff of Rockingham coun-
ty. whose remains were laid to rest in
the cemetery at McGaheysville, Mr..
SCOTS grave was opened and the
casket in which he was buried was
found lying upside down in the grave.
Mr.. Scott, who was very tall man,
was buried in a Theoretically sealed
metallic casket weighing about 400
pounds. The funeral was in charge of
Undertaken William #. Fultz, of Har-
risburg. Mr.. Fultz says the reversed
position of the casket was due to wa
ter. which got into the vault because
of defective masonry. His theory is
that the vault filed with water, float
ing the casket, and that when the wa
ter receded the casket dropped back
into the box with the top down.

LOST ARTS AND DEVICES.
Many Have Been Abandoned Because
New knowledge Supplants
Them

Not as much as we used to, but oc-
casionally, even yet, one hears OF some
wonder accomplished by the ancients
which cannot be done now, says the
Scientific American.
Not so many years ago it was quite
commonly asserted that modern work
men could not quarry or, having quar-
ried, could not handle stones as large
as the monoliths of Egypt, and the
writer has heard a public speaker or
note assert that it would be impossl-
BILE to handle with modern implements
such large stones as were used in the
pyramids. or to join them as perfectly
as they are joined there, yet, when oc-
casion arose, larger stones than any Oh
these were quarried in Maine, and
some of the larger monollths them
selves were transported, not only 10
the sea. but across it, and erected IN
England. France and America, and
there are individuals to-day who might.
If they chose, cause the erection IN
this country of the largest pyramids,
or build new ones ten times larger
and more durable. Pyramids are not
being generally built nowadays, be-
cause they are not in line with the
trend of modern ambition, that's all.
It is very doubtful if a Damascus
blade" would stand half as severe
usage as a modern band saw blade, or
even as much as the spring of a 40
cent clock; while the ornamentation of
those wonderful blades, so far as the
mechanical execution is concerned, can
be excelled by apprentices and anna
teurs of to-day.
OF the ''lost art of hardening cop
per little is heard of late years,
though one occasionally hears a
wiseling from the wilds wish that he
knew how to do it as well as the an
clients, and, while it is perhaps re-
grettable that he doesn't, his ignor-
ance is his own fault.
Many arts and devices have been
abandoned because new knowledge
has made them useless, and time
spent in rediscovering them would be
worse than wasted. The modern
youth had much better spend his time
studying the art of his contemporaries
than that which is lost"

we found q place where they crate
horseradish and bottle it for the mar
ket, and I ordered two washtubs full
of horse radish grated nicely, and sent
to the tent, but l made the man bill
it as ground turnips.
The boy and I played all the fore
noon, and when the man started with
the ground horseradish for the tent,
we went along, and 1 introduced the
man to pa, and pa o. KID the bill, and
sent him to the treasurer after the
money. l was going to get on back
seat and watch the animals eat, but
Oh said: Here, you boys, get out
those pans and portion out the tur-
nips and pass 'em around just as the
crowd comes in, cause after the ami
mails have had mess of cut feed
they are better natured. and show off
better.
/ was pretty leary about feeding
the animals horse radish, and would
have preferred to have some one
else do it, who d.d not care to
live any longer, but I said: eyes,
sir" just like that, and touched my
hat to pa, and he said to the boss
canvasman: There's a boy you can
swear by"
The boss canvasman said: "You are
right, old man, but if he was mine,
would kill him so quick it would make
your head SWIM" and he and pa went
of laughing, but | think they laughed
too s0on.
Well, we took a spud and put about
a quart OF horseradish in each pan. and
put the pans in front of each animal,
and you ought to have seen them rush
for the supposed turnips, like a drove
of catsle after salt.
The boy and l got up on the plat
form with the freaks, to be in safe
place, and watch the animals, and see
how they digested their food. The
first animal to open up the chorus was
the hippopotamus, cause we gave him
about four quarts of horse radish, on

the manager and I thought it was a
shame that the lions and hyenas and
tigers couldn't have any fun, 30 |
went to the table where the meat was
laid out ready to feed them, and cut
hole in each piece of meat and put IN
z double handful of horseradish, and
just then the feeder came along and
began to throw the meat in the cages.
Gee, but those carnivorous anil
mails are bad enough, even TX you
give them nice boiled sirloin steak, and
they fight enough over it, at any time.
but when they began to chew and tear
the meat, and get horseradish hot from
the griddle, they didn't do a thing.
The audience thought the animals
would kill everybody. The big lion
got his meat down, but it didn't set
well, and he turned somersault,
and snarled, and pulled the bars of the
cage, while the grizzly bear rolled up
in ball and rolled over in his cage
till the men had to hold on to the
wheels to keep the shebang from go
ing over. The hyenas, who are al
ways mad, went on tear that could
be heard in all the tents.
Pa and the managers came back into
the menagerie tent with the animal
keeper, who had been sent for, and
they began to try to find out what
allied the animals, and the animal
keeper asked what pa had been feed
ing them, and pa said he had given
them their ground turnips.
"Turnips, indeed" said the keeper,
as he took up some of the turnip and
tasted of it, and he handed a hand
full to pa. Pa tasted of it, and pa
had hot box, and the managers tasted
of it, and they said: mo wonder.
Then they asked pa where he got 1t,
and pa said he sent me to order 1t,
and then they all said: THAT set
ties it."
l thought would go way and jump
in the river, but pa said: "Hennery,
come here, my angel" and he spit on
his hands and picked up barrel stave.
/ went right UP to pa, az innocent as
could be, just as any dutiful son
should, and right there before the ami
mails and freaks pa-well, that's the
reason am not sitting down very
much these days. So long.

| had fed them the turnips, and
told him they had all been fed, and
just then the giraffe, whose neck was
so long the horseradish did not reach
a vital spot as quick as it did with
the hippo, began to yell for the po-
lice and dance around. Finally he
stood on his head and neck, with his
heels against cage, and coughed like
he had caught pneumonia. Pa SAID
to the boss canvasman: well, what
do you think of that?"
The zebras had their inning next,
and after they had swallowed their
rations of horseradish, they never said
a word, but began to run around like
dancing the lancers, and when they
got to going it looked like a kaleido-
scope, and the six Zebras looked like
million. Pa said: 81 never saw
such a sight since I used to drink,
but have either got the jim-jams,
or something awful has happened to
this menagerie."
The educated hog got double dose.
and he squealed and couldn't pick out
the right card, and then the llamas
got busy on their / 0rtion of horse
radish, and they cried in Spanish, and
stood on their hind legs and shed
tears. Pa got SO ratified he looked ten
years older than he did when the
afternoon performance opened. The
manager of the big show came in to
know why the elephants had not been
sent into the dressing-room, to be got
ready for the grand entree. Just then
the elephants began to eat their horse
radish, and when they were driven
into the big tent they were complain
ing about something being wrong in
side of them, and as they came by the
lemonade stand they seemed to be
yelling Fire" Then they all stopped
at the stand and began to drink the
lemonade out of the barrels, which
seemed to put out the fire.
The animals quieted down little. and
