one especially commendsble improve
ment was the effort on the part of the
floor committed to Introduce, the out-of-
town guests and make, It possible to fill
their programs.f,,Asa matter OF fact, the
ball has not always been the, most en-
1oyable affair IN the world for out-of-town
guests. And speaking of the out-of-town
women, IL is regrettable, that those who
are Invited TO. serve az ladies of the court,
ladies in waiting and maids of honor
could not be notified in time TO make
che invitation something more than a
farce. For. several years. past these
women have received their Invitations
barely in time to make the necessary ar
rangements for leaving hoome not to
speak Of any preparation in the way of
costumes. And they have felt II, too,
and have naturally interpreted their in
vitations az a bit of policy that still
effectually safeguarded the exclusiveness
of the local fashionable set. Fully two
thirds of the replies to inquiries of out
of-town women regarding their Ak-Sar-
Ben ball gowns. brought the reply that
they had not received their invitations In
time to provide suitable costumes The
social demands OF the smaller towns do
not warrant ball gown every season
or even every other season, and to the
majority of women, an invitation to court
necessitates a trip TO Omaha or Chicago
or some other place, and II the desired
costume can not be gotten readys made
II has to, be made and this plan takes
weeks-7not days. Under existing circum-
stances an invitation to serve as one OF
the women OF the court received less than
six weeks before the date OF the ball, is
something more than inconsiderate.

The doctor did not speak for a mo-

'Such nice nurse, too" went on the
patient. 'Why should she do such a
foolish thing?"
1t was then that she learned from the
doctor that dyed hair is not nearly so
uncommon in the case of trained
nurses as might be supposed. Sick peo-
pie like to have young nurses about
them. Even physicians have a weak

lieve that their interest and enthusiasm
are greater.

DHLAwARE's NEW SANITARIUM.
Will be Built in the Spring by the Ant-Tu.
berculosis Society.

Dercul0SlS oOSiety'
''We will surely begin building the
sanatorium in the spring." declared
prominent member of the Delaware
Anti Tuberculosis Society on Saturday
when asked how the association was
progressing with the work that has
been started in Wilmington. He was
most enthusiastic over the outlook and
expressed delight with the manner in
which the project has been taken up by
all classes of citizens. The money has
been coming in in very satisfactory
manner" he continued, "and we hav e
on hand about 81, 300. This, of course,
is very generous sum to be contr i
buted, but as we need fully $4,000 be
fore we will be able to start work the
necessity of further contributions is
readily reconized- However we have
no doubt that the money will be forth
coming. We have secured the promise
of donation of 81, 900 if we can collect
the remaining $4,000" The member s
of the society have met with encour-
agement on every hand and they have
had little trouble in securing mon ely
from those approached for subscrip-
tions. The undertaking is big one
however aud it will require the CO.
operation of every citizen to carry the
project to completion. The cause is
one of the most worthy and too much
emphasis cannot be placed on the nee
essity for having such an institutio n
as proposed, declared those who have
interested themselves in the matter.

MAHOGANY.
The Way This Beautiful Wood Was
Brought Into Fashion.

The Wax This Beautiful Wood Was
Brought Into Fashion.
Every one knows how effective and
handsome mahogany is when used TO?
good furniture, but "ew of us know
how its value was first discovered.
In the latter part of the seventeenth
century a London physician had a
brother engaged in trade with the
West Indies who on one occasion
brought home several logs of mahoga-
nv as ballast. The doctor was building
a house. and his brother suggested that
the logs would serve for ceiling beams.
Acting on the proposal, the doctor gave
orders to the workmen to make use of
the mahogany, but their tools were not
equal to the task of cutting the hard
wood, and the logs were put out of the
way in a corner in the garden.
Some time afterward the head car
penter tried to make a box from the
wood, but was unsuccessful with Ordi
nary tools He told the doctor, who
was interested in the battling timber
and ordered heavier tools to be made
to work it with says Home Notes.
When this was done and box at last
made and polished, it was so handsome
that a bureau was made from another
of the despised logs. and this was de-
clared by EXPERTS to be so superior to
other furniture making woods that the
craze for mahogany set in, and furni-
tllre made from il became highly pOpu.

just as an effective campaign as if
they had the hardest kind of opposi-
ton to roll up as large a majority as
was secured two years ago. 1t is
possible with the republican party
so greatly in the lead in this state
that there will. be some stay-at-home
votes, and doubtless the same thing
will happen in the democratic
party, its supporters taking the
view Of their being SO greatly in the
minority that there is little use in
making an effort to defeat the re-

dome of the Great ~EnEut1inE Waves
of the Glutton Sen.
There is one consolation about the
two great earthquakes which destroyed
respectively the two great cities of
San Francisco and Valparaiso, and
that is that they raised no seismic
waves to speak of.
This was because the earth tremors
were wholly on land and did not ex-
tend beneath the bed Of the pecan. 1t
Is when this latter eventually happens
that these terrible waves are created,
causing widespread havoc.
For Instance, it was this kind of
ocean avalanche that engulfed Lisbon,
with $4,000 of its Inhabitants. in 1865.
and IN 1888 a submarine earthquake
started in the straits of Sunda a so
called tidal" (seismic) wave that trav-
eled twice around the globe and drown
ed $4,000 people.
In 1891 again a submarine earth
quake threw up a wall of water seven
ty feet high and more than 800 miles
in length. which overwhelmed the
greater portion of the Niphon islands.
On this occasion $4,000 houses were
swept away and 10000 people lost
their lives.
