MODES OF THE MOMENT.

Very few strictly tailored garments
are seen, even the long coated linens
such as occasionally appear having
rather an out Of date look.
Transparent lace is a favorite trim
ming for smart tub dresses, and ba-
tiste and null embroidery is another
charming and fashionable decoration.
Wells form important accessories to
the up to date toilet, and there are
almost as many varieties and as many
ways Of arranging them as there are
people to wear them.
Very smart skirt suits, or, rather,
three piece suits, are made with plaid
ed silk skirt, and coat and waist Of
plain silk, matching the predominant
ing color in the plaid.
Many Of the linen and mercerized
gowns show little vests of contrasting
color or material, sometimes both, but
toned bllndly or straight down the
center, with self covered buttons

And plans ahead what she's about,
Yet after eating every day
She throws her incest bones away.

But that which makes me doubt the

Nor yet her fondness for the cat

DISEASE DEFINED BY DOOR
Sense Of Smell Relied Upon by Ex-
perts to Determine Nature
of Ailments.

The acuteness Of tks sense Of smell
is far greater in many Of the lower an
imals, dogs, for example, than in man
and they employ it II guiding then
to their food, in warning them of ap
preaching danger and for other pur
poses, says the Spatula. The sphere
Of the susceptibility to various odori
is more uniform and extended-in man
and the sense Of smell Is capable OF
great cultivation. Like the other spe'
cial senses, II may be cultivated by
attention and practice. Experts can
discriminate qualities Of wines, liquors,
drugs, etc. Diseases have their char.
acteristic odors.
Persons who have visited many diff
ferent asylums for the insane recog-
nize the same familiar odor of the in.
sane. 1t is not insane asylums alone,
but prisons, jails, warehouses, armies
In camp, churches, schools and nearly
every household, that have character
ictic odors. 1t is when the insane, the
prisoners and the soldier are aggre-
gated in large groups or battalions
that their characteristic odor is recog-
nized. Most diseases have their char
acteristic odors and by the exercise Of
the sense Of smell they could be utilized
in different diagnosis.
For example, fever has a mousy odor,
rheumatism has copious sour-smell.
Ing acid sweat. A person afflicted
with pyaemia has a sweet nauseating
breath. The rank, unbearable odor
OF pus from the middle ear tells the
tale of the decay of osseous tissue. In
scurvy the odor is putrid, in chronic
peritonitis musky, in scrofua like
stale beer, in intermittent fever like
fresh baked brown bread, in fever am
moniacal, in hysteria like yiolets or
pineapple. Measles, diphtheria, typhoid
fever, epilepsy, phthisis, etc, have
Characteristic odors.

PICNIC FOR STOCK JoBBERs.
Harris Would Help Wall Street Gamb.
lers Out BY Dsmisslnq Suit.

Topeka, Aug. 1.-The Republicans
are going to have barrels of fun with
Colonel Harris about that Katy suit
before the campaign is over. The Col
onel was foolish enough to follow the
lead of the Kansas City Star and make
that the principal issue in his Keynote
speech and already he wishes he
hadn't. All he found was tnat the rail
road had been permitted TO escape
the lower courts" and that it was o
stock jobbing scheme. Tnc Colonel
goes on to say that if he is elected he
will try and dismiss the case. What
picnic for stock jobbers! Then the rail.
roads must grind for years through
the lower courts in getting pack to the
supreme court and with every decis-
ion the stock jobbers will fatten and
all this time the owners of these lands
will be in trouble and at a continual
expense; for mind you, the railroad
company must sue the individual land
holders to get into the lower courts.
The Colonel should have known better.
