Tropical Lights.

In the tropics are frefies with
three eyes that make such a bright
light at night that people can read
by it. In Cuba the poor children
gather the flies and sell them to the
rich little Cuban girls and their
mothers for ornaments. These
sparkling little insects are worn in
the hair, at the bust, or even as
bright spots on punches of flowers
of course under gauze. Children
make pets of them, keep them in
cages and feed them on sugar.

Keeping the Thread" of a Story.

: Each player holds the end of a
ribbon or string in her hand, the
other end of all the ribbons or
strings being held by the leader,
who begins to tell a story. Every
one must pay close attention, for at
any moment she may break off, at
the same time pulling one of the
ribbons. The holder of it without
delay must take up the story and
continue it until the leader pulls an
other ribbon, which transfers the
task to some one else.

Advertiser Bureau.

Advertiser Bureau, Mobile, Oct. 2S. From an absolutely reliable source information Is that Alabama Port. no" scene of devastation and desolation. will soon rise and eventually become what was long since intended for the place.
 Lyirg on the wosv side of Mobile Bay, half way between this city and the extreme south end Of the State with we'll timbered lands to the north. west and south, a splendid roadway along the bay front and tapped by the Mobile and Bay Shore Railroad; with the finest of fishing and hunting grounds in close proximity. it was con- ceded an ideal place for both sum- mer and winter resort
 Representative Mobilians became possessed of much of the land, hotel and many cosy homes and neat stores were soon erected. $4,400 substantial pier extending far out into the beau tiful bay was built ana at the extreme end an oyster and shrimp canning fac tory established and put in operation.
 Fire destroyed tho notel, but ar- ran ngements were being made to build another much larger and better. The dreadful storm of September 2s-27 came, swept away every house save one. destroyed the canning factory and badly damaged the pier. Several lives were lost.
 So sudden and terrible was the de- struction that those ~ho had their homes there were dumbfounded, ap- palled and bewildered. Those who had invested extensively in the once thriv- ing village and who reside in Mobile were also astounded at the fate which had befallen some of the residents and the destruction left in the wake of the wind and tidal wave.
 But their Mobile pluck and that of the people who yet ciaim Alabama Port as their home is OF such a nature they will not down. Alabama Port will be rebuilt, the immense pier re- factory erected and in operation by the first day of the new year
 The John Boyles Company of Balti- more. who were the lessees and opera tors of this plant, nEving come to learn the superior quality of the Mo- bile Bay bivales and having, during the two years they operated the plant, established a reputation for them selves. have entered into negotiations with the Alabama Port Company for the new plant Unlike previously. However, the next plant will e erected on the bluff at the uegfnning of the long pier. This news was partly an- nounced yesterday, bu. was today con. flrmed by MT. Murphy, a member of the John Boyles Company, and by members of the Alabama Port Com pany.

FASHIONS OF THE DAY.
Concerning Use of the Touch of Black
Velvet Ribbon-About the Sep
arate Dinner Bodice.

This touch of velvet ribbon is one OF
the strong notes of all things imported,
and one in which the home designer can
hardly go amiss. Upon a gown which
otherwise has no black upon it an up
standing bow of black velvet ribbon is
set at the back upon the cloth girdle.
1t is used in two, three and five rows
around the bottom of the skirt, and the
old-fashion Of putting one row of it at
the extreme bottom edge of a skirt, which
is made of light goods. has returned, and
is repeated somewhere in the bodice
trimming. sometimes only in a narrow
sash or bow. The black velvet ribbon
around the throat is in use again, hav-
ing come in with Dutch necked blouses
which, strange to say, are an arrival of
winter even more than of summer An
other swiftly returning fashion is that
of hair bows, which are mostly seen ia
upright bows of black velvet. and long
ends and rosettes of it are added to the
tulle ruches.
The latest form of the separate bod
ice is the dinner jacket, so-called, which
is made upon the general lines Of
basque and coat effects. Not only lace,
but brocades and chiffon velvets and
Powered taffetas, are used in these jack
cts, which are worn with light and
fluffy summer or tulle skirts. The sleeve
Of white lace is also one Of the additions
which make for evening effects. and
which are especially popular in black
evening gowns. Many of the black din
ner frocks. which are much seen of late,
are embroidered in jet. and have folds
of white tulle set in about the Shout
ders, and the sleeves are either of white
ruffles of tulle or entirely of white lace.
A jet yoke. to which is attached a bertha
of lace or tulle. is one of the separate
garnitures for low-cut gowns which may
be easily contrived. and which. with the
little sleeve pieces attached, may be
made to slip on over the head.-Chicago
