McGoveTn Ratified.

I remember sitting az the ringside al

Corbett met for the second time. Terry
had claimed that their previous battle
was a duke. He claimed that Cor1ett
won with a lucky punch. This battle
was to prove whether he did or not

at Harry Corbetts the little Denverite

ignored him. Terry watched Corbett

Gold Embroideries.

Girdles of silver or gold are much
used this season, carrying out the
color idea introduced in silver or gold
embroideries and other trimmings.
Sheer stuffs are ever made up over
whole Innings of gold or silver tissue
yelled in chiffon. and there are charm
ing lace and net frocks of this descrip-
ton with silver lining, delicate en-
broideries or applied flower garlands
of silver and silver Sirdles.
A superbly handsome evening frock
which may serve as a model for any
one is made of orchid chiffon, en-
princesse, with fine lines of silver
running up the figure and deep hem
of orchid satin incrusted with bold
floral embroideries in silver and paste.

BIRDS THAT ENJOY DANCING
Have Regular "BaII Rooms" for Their
Gyrataions.

Dancing is by no means confined to
quadrupeds; it is the principal play
of many birds.
Perhaps the finest of bird dancers
is the South American cock G. the
rock. These birds have regular dane
ing places, level spots which they keep
clear of sticks and stones.
A dozen or more of the bird dane
ers assemble around this spot, and
then a cock bird, his scarlet crest
erect, steps into the center. Spread
ing his wings and tail, he begins to
dance, at first with slow and state
ly steps, then gradually more and
more rapidly until he is spinning like
a mad thing. At last, tired out, he
sinks down, hops out of the ring and
another takes his place.
Some of the quail tribe are great
dancers, and SO are the American sand
hill cranes. 1t is most ludicrous
sight to watch crane dancing; he is
so desperately solemn over the whole
performance He looks like a shy
young man who has just learned to
waltz and is rather ashamed of the
accomplishment.

JAPAN LAND OF JUccLERs.
Old Wizard Abuses Dinner Guests by
Pooling Foreign Skeptic.


Japan is the land of jugglers and
fashionable Japanese always have
them atsany large entertainment they
give. One very clever old man goes
around in single cotton gown with
two baskets full of properties" over
his shoulders, and, putting them down
anywhere, performs his tricks, with
the expectant audience encircling him.
A hatful of coppers rewards him suf-
ficiently and he goes on to eat fire,
,disgorge eggs, needles, lanterns and
smoking pipes at the next place. At q
recent Japanese dinner a foreign
guest determined to have no optical
illusions about what the jugglers did.
He never allowed his glances to be
distracted and was not once off his
guard. Noticing this, the old juggler
played to him entirely. An immense
porcelain vase was brought in and set
in the middle of the room and the
juggler, crawling in, let himself down
into it slowly. The skeptic sat for
half an hour without taxing his eye
from the vase, which, he was con-
WINGED, was sound and firm and stood
on no trap door. After this pro-
longed watch the rest of the company
assailed him with laughter and jeers,
and pointed to his side, where the old
juggler was seated tanning himself
and had been seated for some min

Simple Rules for the
Proper Care of Pets
Observation and Precautions Neces-
sary to Keep Them Perfect in
Health and Beauty.

Never have your canary in the
room while it is being swept or
busted as particles of dust in the
air will have very injurious effect
on the birds voice.
A very injurious habit often con-
tracted by seed-eating birds is that
known as ..twirling." They turn and
twist the head and neck SO far back
that they lose their balance. When
ever a bird does this the best plan is
to cover its cage so that it cannot see
any above it, as it is because it
catches sight of objects overhead that
the habit is induced
Water-plants not only greatly add
to the beauty of an aquarium, but they
also save it's owner a good deal of
trouble in the end. They give out the
oxygen which the fish require and
keep the water fresh, so that it is only
necessary to change it two or three
times a year for the purpose of clean
ing and rearranging the various OBJ
jects in the tank.
Complaints are often made of rab-
bits destroying their hutches by gnaw-
ing the woodwork till it will scarcely
hold together. Their natural instinct
teaches them to do this to keep their
sharp teeth in good condition. To pre-
vent it give them a stick to gnaw and
they will leave the hutch alone.
The cat is a better observer than
the dog. Cats are frequently known
to initiate human actions; to let them
selves in or out by raising latch or
drawing a bolt, and to obtain adnis-
sion by ringing bell or knocking
with the knocker, this being the re-
sult of their own observation. Dogs,
on the other hand, though they may
be trained to perform these actions
as tricks, very seldom, If ever. do
them of their own accord.
The quality and quantity of silk pro-
duced by your silkworms will all de-
pend on how you feed them. Too
much food should not be given at
once. but they should never be left
entirely without at any time during
the day or night. You must therefore
watch carefully to get an idea OF
their appetite, and provide according
ly. Fresh mulberry leaves are the
proper food for silkworms, but If at
any time these are not procurable
young lettuce leaves are the best sub
stitute, but they are only stopgap;
sflkworms cannot live for long
period without their natural food.

New coIors.

Among the blues there are half q
dozen new tones, but prune blue, for
get-me-not blue and Russian blue will
continue to hold their own in spite of
the rivalry of the newcomers. OF
course, turquoise blue will be extreme
ly popular with women who can afford
to wear it. But it is the most perish
able Of all the shades of blue and con-
sequently the most costly. for one can
get so little wear out of it.
In the dark reds the French dress
makers assert there will be a still
wider latitude. There is copper red,
which is almost brown and which is
extremely good in Panama cloth, can
vas cloth, broadcloth, lady's cloth,
serge and wolfe. Terra Gotta will be
worn a great deal and its natural COM
bination-from a color standpoint--is
turquoise blue. And terra Gotta and
turquoise go well together, particular
ly when there is touch OF black IN
the costume. Dark cherry red will
also be worn and these shades of red,
both light and dark, influence the col
ors of fall.

Anusements For Big
And Little Children
A Little Paint and Paper, with Some
Ingenuity, All That Is Necessary
at a Butterfly Party

Every one loves butterflies, and the
amusement of making. them herein
described is favorite sport among
art students, but anyone can enjoy
it with very little trouble.
All that is required is a few tubes
of oil colors-red, vermilion, lake, CO.
bait, white, yellow and green, and a
few sheets of plain note paper and
some dull fruit knives.
Each piece of paper should be fold
ed in half, straight down the middle,
the fold well creased, and the paper
then opened One carrying the tubes
of colors then squeezes tiny speck
of several colors on each paper, close
to one side of the fold and midway be-
tween top and bottom, so that the
paint is on the inside, between the
two halves.
The players then take the fruit
knives and with the dull edge press
upon the paper over the fold and the
paint, working the latter upward and
outward toward the edge of the paper
to make the wings of the butterfly.
The paper may be held to the light,
every now and then, to see how the
paint is being worked, so that the
knife may be guided Alright
When the top wing is formed in
profile the knife should be worked
downward on the paper to form the
lower wing, little smaller than the
upper one. The more paint put in
the fold the easier it will be to get a
beautiful result.
When all have finished and the pa
pers are opened in each will be found
a gorgeously colored butterfly with
wings widespread ready for flight.
No two will be alike, for even though
the same colors are used the different
amount of pressure made by the
knives will cause the paints to blend
in different ways.
A pretty use to put these butterflies
to IS to let them dry thoroughly, and
then make of them border for a pic
ture frame, or a dado around the
walls of "den." If SO much color is
not desired, a beautiful effect may
be had by using only white paint on
tinted paper, the tint being selected
to blend with the other paper on the
walls.

How Woman Made Discovery.

A valuable and lucrative continuance
for softening and removing old wall
paper was invented by woman who
watched her husband. just then out
of employment. renovating his own
sitting room hangings. The handy
little restrainer of womanly "scolding
locks that some years ago profited its
creator was suggested to an ingenious
worker seeking far different employ
ment. At least half the worlds most
satisfying successes have come to
men and women who rather might
have expected success in almost any
other way.

Mrs. Buckingham raised her lorg-

Carl Lunde, Norwegian artist, has
made himself famous by painting on
metal, an art even the Japanese have
failed in, great as they are as metal
workers. Lunde decorates ordinary
tin with characteristic designs in col
ors and eliminates an ordinary tray
or plate that would otherwise be
cheaply japanned. The method is his
secret and only one of many clever
nesses he employs to render utility
artistic and decorative.

A German firm is achieving success
in the sale of wrought iron wardrobes.
They are supplied in four different
sizes. The great advantages the ward

convenient ventilation and cleaning,
and easy of transportation. The door
is made of wire netting, and as the
top slopes obliquely the contents are
visible at all times.

Playwriqht's Method of Work.

Mr.. A. w. Pinero has an unusual
method of writing his plays. His
work day does not begin until that of
the average city man is over. In the
morning he goes out, preferably on
his bicycle. returning in time for early
dinner. Then he has a comfortable
sleep, and on waking up, late in the
afternoon, he prepares for business.
After cup of tea he goes to his desk
and remains working at his play until
far into the night
