Irish Lace Skirts Tennis Waists
Lace Waists Separate Skirts,

The long-established preference
for a glistening material in bridal
costumes, now finds its best express
sion in Liberty satin, messaline or
chiffon satin and although very
charming, gossamer laces, chiffon
cloth or a new material called Mar
quisette of the chiffon family are GER
tainly softer and more in harmony
with present ideas. At the same
time, a bride from among the four
hundred, wore chiffon velvet trimmed
with old point lace. Another select
ed chiffon broadcloth, and a third,
heavy white satin. While some brid-
al dresses are in Empire style, the
Princess undoubtedly leads, made in
the manner previously described,
and almost always with the short
jacket effect, brough about by lace
or any other handsome garniture,
but where the figure is faultless, the
bolero is not necessary.

1t is rumored that "Dory" Strong
Is bringing influence to bear on the
Garfield Battery, of this city, to get
for Jackson in the senatorial race.
Whether the report is true or not, the
Battery, will doubtless be slow to take
such action It hasn't been so long
ago that the members of the local or
~ganization were roasting" the New
Brunswick boss in a manner that
cannot be forgotten so soon. From
all accounts there are some big sur
prises in store for the machine as
soon as the Fordyce movement is
started in earnest and it may be that
the men in charge of the party ma
chinery will not be the regular re-
publican party in this county. There
is no hiding the fact that Boss Strong
is greatly worried and is doing every
thing possible to strengthen his fen
ces, but his time has come this fall
just as surely as it is known that
Perth Amboy has not been getting a
square deal.

sETTLING THE OoFFEE..

Few persons are left who use egg
for settling boiled coffee. Boiled
coffee, by the way, is a misnomer,
for no good coffee is ever boiled. It
is brought only to the boiling point
and checked there. But the SO call
ed coffee, a term which distinguishes
it from the drip kind, settles itself
without any difficulty If handled
gently and left to stand a couple Of
minutes before pouring. A table,
spoonful or two of cold water turned
in at the last minute is a safeguard,
but is seldom. il ever, necessary.

Frederick Funston is still a young man-was
born in 1865-but he has seen a deai OF lie IN MS

LIVING FOR THE FLAG.
A Beautiful Example of Devotion
From Oar War Records.

One Of the most touching as we'll as
the most beautiful examples of devo-
ton to the flag is to be found in the
records Of our civil war. The Six
teenth regiment of Connecticut volun-
teers after three days of the hardest
and bloodiest of fighting became con-
vinced that defeat and capture by the
enemy was imminent. The ranks were
depleted, and to hold out longer would
only involve needlessly further sacri-
fee of life. But even in their hour of
peril the Jealous patriots thought more
of the fate of their battle Scared flag
than Of their own. Just before the
final assault on the breastworks the
gallant colonel shouted to his men,
whatever you do, boys, don't give up
our flag; save that at any price" IL
an instant the flag was torn from its
staff and cut and torn into hundreds
Of small fragments, each piece being
hidden about the person Of some one OF
it's brave defenders.
The survivors OF the regiment, ABOUT
500 in number, were sent to prison
camp, where most Of them remained
until the end Of the war, each cherish
ing his mite Of the regimental colors
Through long months Of Imprisonment
many died, and in all such cases the
scraps of bunting guarded by the poor
unfortunates were intrusted to the
care of some surviving comrade.
At the end of the war when the pris
oners returned to their homes a meet
ing of the survivors was held, and al
the priceless fragments of the das
were sewed together. But very few
pieces had been lost, 80 that the re-
stored emblem was made nearly com
plete.
That flag, patched and tattered as II
is, forms one of the proudest posses
sions of Connecticut today and is pre-
served in the state capitol at Hartford
bearing mute testimony to the devo
ton of the brave men who were MOI
alone ready and willing to die for il
on the field of battle, but to live for II
through long years Of Imprisonment ii
order that they might bring it back
whole to the state that gave it into
their hands to honor and defend.-St
Nicholas.

FELL FROM TRAIN AND MET DEATH.
Negro Of Oranseburs City While Riding on ;
FREIGHT Train Fell and Lost His Life.

The body of Eddie Dickson, a negro
of this city. was found on the side of the
Southern Railroad track near Felders, a
pump station about three miles below the
city early this morning.
The body was brought up to the South
ern depot where an inquest was held dur
ing the day.
There was deep scar in the head and
one foos was mashed as if it had been run
over by the train.
Dickson got on freight train that left
the city about eleven O'Clock last night
intending to beat his way to Bamberg
1t is uncertain as to whether Dickson fell
from the train or was Knocked off 10y
someone.-Oran geburg Evening News.

WOMEN CHESS PLAYERS.
Why None of Them Is Mentioned IN
the Annals of the Game.

Ladies' chess clubs are being estab-
lished in various parts Of the country;
special inducements are held out for
their patronage by the promoters OF
national and international tournaments.
and articles on the game appear regu-
larly in journals which cater specially
to them. Women have always played
and taken part in the game, though
probably never to the same extent as
now. 1t is, therefore, remarkable that
in the whole of it's enormous literature
there does not appear the name OF
any woman among the stars Of the
first, second or third magnitude. One
nav 90 through volume after volume
containing thousands Of games and not
q Il single one played by women
I'll any editor thought worthy Of
.'.r.nent record.
When the question has been raised
before, it has been involved with that
of the intellectual superiority Of one
sex over the other. Today the answer
to this would be totally ina9eGuate
and inconsequential. There are men in
the front rank Of players at the pres
ent moment who by no stretch of the
imagination or the term can be said to
occupy their position on account of ex-
ceptionally intellectual endowments.
While the game always appeals to in
tellectual men and women, intellect IS
not the only factor which makes the
great player.
A careful examination Of the games
Of players whom the world recognizes
as great reveals the fact that the fac
ulties and qualities of concentration,
comprehensiveness, impartiality and.
above all, a spark Of originality, are
to be found in combination and in va
rying degrees. The absence Of these
qualities in woman explains why no
member Of the feminine sex has occu-
pied any high position as a chess
player.
There are many women who are ear
nest students of chess whose knowl-
edge of the theory, principles and all
the accouterments Of the game is phe-
nomenal. But mere knowledge can
make nobody great. Taking results,
good judgment is much superior to
knowledge imperfectly applied.-Lon-
don Saturday Review.

His Prescription.

Boerhaave, the greatest doctor of his
time, was anxious that it should go
forth that even the most eminent doc
tor is somewhat of a "humbug.' He
carefully handed the key Of small
diary to his executor, bade him open it
Immediately after his decease and let
the contents go forth to the world at
large. When the notebook was opened
all it's pages but the last were blank,
and on that final one there was writ
ten in large letters: ''Directions to pa
tents: Keep your feet warm and your
head cool and trust for the rest to
Providence"

Gold.

The first mention which we have Of
gold is in the eleventh verse Of the
second chapter Of Genesis, or, in other
words, 1904 years before Christ. Gold
was used as money By the ancient
Egyptians at a very early date. Herod-
otus tells that the invention Of the
coinage of gold belongs to Lydia, about
75O B. c.. Authorities conflict about
the first coinage Of gold. Some say it
was Miletus and some the Persians,
but there are no records to show just
when.

A WONDERFUL CALENDAR.
The Four Ages From the Theosoph-
fcal Point of View.

The Four Ages From the Theosoph-
ical Point Of View.
There is nothing more wonderful in
the chronological and time keeping line
than the Philosophical Calendar, Ac-
cording to the Secret Doctrine" From
the theosophical point Of view the four
ages are as follows: Sata yuga golden
age), 1,72S,000 years; tresta yuga (sil-
yer age), 100000 years; dwapara
yuga copper age), $4,000 years; kali
yuga Gron age), $4,000 years. The
total of these four ages makes one
maha yuga, or great age, Of 1920, 600
years. One thousand maha yugas
make one kalpa, or day Of Brahma,
equal to 1000 times 100000 years.
After the expiration Of that unthink-
able period of time the night Of Brah-
ma, equal in duration to the length Of
the day, comes on, and the earth van
ishes from the plane Of existence.
Three hundred and sixty days and
nights of Brahma make one year Of
Brahma, and 100 years Of Brahma
make the great kalpa, period Of 311,-
o40,0O0,000,OO0 years, after which the
sun and the entire solar system plunge
into impenetrable night and every
thing on the "objective plane'' is de-
stroyed. Then comes the period known
as the great night, which is equal in
length to the great kalpa. After the
great night has lifted it's sable mantle
a new solar system is formed and evo.
luton begins anew.
According to the doctrine Of the the
osophists, we are now living in the
kali yuga, the last Of the four ages
and it began nearly 5000 years ago
with the death Of Krishna, who died
3,1O2 years before our era began. The
first minor cycle Of kali yuga ended
in the years 1S97-9S, but we still have
something like $4,000 before we ar.
rive at the end of the present age.
Kali yuga is also known to the the
osophists as the black age. 1t is an
age of spiritual darkness, in which the
human race pays for the misdeeds
which are recorded against them in the
previous ages.

NAIL CHARACTERISTICS.
They Are an Aid In Diagnosis of Dis.
eases and Traits.

They Are an Aid In Diagnosis of Dis
eases and Traits.
It is said that the moon at the base
Of the nail is simply an indication OF
good health and excellent circulation
while the white spots are always the
accompaniment Of an impaired nerv'
Gus system. The common idea that an
external application Of vaseline will
cure the white spots is erroneous, ano
those afflicted with the little "story
tellers'' would far better turn their at
tention to securing perfect physical
health in the assurance that the spots
will disappear with improved circula
ton.
1T is not possible to create moons al
the base of the nails. Frequently the
moon is there, but through negligence
it is covered by skin, which without
attention will grow upward over the
base Of the nail.
It is not generally understood that
the shape and appearance Of the finger
nails are carefully considered and form
an important factor in the diagnosis Of
disease. Long nails are said to indicate
physical weakness and tendency tc
lung trouble, and this tendency Is ag
gravated where the nails are corrugat
ed and yet more aggravated if they
curve from the top back to the finger
and across. Where the nails are long
and blush they indicate bad circula
ton. This same type Of nail, but
shorter, denotes tendency to throat af
fection, bronchitis and the like.
Short, small nails indicate seart dis
ease. Where they are short, fiat anc
sunlzen you may look for nervous dis
orders. The short nailed woman viii
criticise her friends and her foes, but
she will criticise herself with the same
severity. She is apt to be sarcastic
and sometimes so quick at repartee
that she appears almost brutal. The
best dramatic and literary critics pos
sess this type Of nail.
