THE END.
TeIenhnnes and Fires

The earliest application of the tele
phone IN connection with a switch
board was made at Bridgeport, Conn,
in June, 1873, where in the eagerness
of various fire companies to arrive first
at fires, the men of company No. 3,
which was next to the telephone Office
told the telephone operator to request
his twenty-One patrons to give the in
formation over the telephone Of any
fire and to report the fact at the en-
CINE house. This engine was not only
the first at several fires, but in some
mysterious manner was frequently on
its way before the alarm struck.
This reached Il climax on the occa-
sion of a small fire in a dwelling which
the fire company attended with muf-
fed bell, in response to a telephone
message, and no fire alarm was pulled.
On their return, the engine was driven
by the house of a rival company with
bell ringing. and when the men rushed
out with inquiries they were told that
the fire had been eXtinguiShed.
After this occurrence, the chief Of
the fire department gave orders that
companies should not respond to a fire
alarm received over a telephone, but
the insurance agents of the city ap-
pealed TO the city council, who ordered
that all fire engine houses should be
equipped with telephones Brooklyn

upon many otherwise plain tailored
frocks. especially upon those whose
material is of mixed colorings.
The stripes so popular during the
summer have had an influence upon the
manufacturers and there are many
stripes among the autumn suitings,
but these are chiefly of a somewhat in
definite character in shadow effects or
in two or three tones of one color
rather than in strongly contrasted col
orings such as have been popular. Even
concerning these unobtrusive stripings
there is considerable discussion in

Many of the most famous dressmak-
ers. wearied of the ubiquitous striped
suits of the past season, have turned
| their backs upon striped suitings and
thrown the weight of their influence

what the final decision will be.

The Feast of Yule.

1t was Pope Telesphorus, who died
before the year $50 A. D, who insti-
tuted Christmas as a festival. though
for some time it was irregularly held
in December, April and May. But
for centuries before there had been 4

drinking the wasSail bowl or cup.
Nothing gave them so much delight as
indulgence in 'earousing ale" especial

the custom at all their feasts for the

may have been the origin of that popu-

FASHION FANCIES

A tailored street frock is the first felt
want in the province Of the autumn
wardrobe and for month past tailors
have been busy in meeting this i'm
pending need. Many women crowd
such tailor work into the last days of
August in order TO take advantage of
the reduction in prices which major
ity Of the tailors make during the
summer months for the sake of keep
ing their work folk through the dull
season, and though of course little is
actually known in August concerning
the coming vagaries Of the modes the
conventional tailor frock does not vary
Sc radically and so suddenly from sea
son 10 season that there is danger in
ordering such a frOck before the last
word concerning the seasons fashions
has been spoken.
In recent years the limitations of the
severely plain tailored frock have been
more and more emphasized This item
must be included in every woman's out
mt. but it will not take the place in
that outfit which it would have occu-
pied in earlier years
We have to some extent come around
TO the French point of view and one
must have at least two tailor costumes
today If one has pretensions to correct
dressing. The absolutely severe and
somewhat modish frock belongs to
morning hours and to afternoon street
wear OF a most informal kind while
for other street use we have the Paris
ian version of the tailor made elab-
crate, dressy and more sensible than
the Partisan model if not so graceful.
in that for the average American wo-
man its skirt is made of walking
length.
| The tailored trotting frock or morn
ing frock of the season carries out
the ideas indicated last spring, and
while not startlingly novel has certain
pronounced tendencies which are
promptly apparent to any student of
clothes
! In the first place the short coat has
! been conspicuous by its absence Pos
sibly we may see new versions of the
short tailored coat later in the season
for not every woman looks well in the
| longer coats and there are sensible wo-
men who, while bowling to fashion S
mandates insist upon being provided
with clothes which are becoming as
well as fashionable; but the fact re
mains that at the present moment the
longer coat leads the field
The extremely long or three-quarteI
redingote appears to belong chiefly to
the elaborate tailored frock, but the
motoring coat is usually of half length
and the bolero and pony models are
practically unknown.
The close fitting coat liked in the
spring is an autumn favorite and is
shown both in cutaway and straight
front models. Getaway coats. cut low
in front to show a waistcoat and fast
ening with three buttons, are being
made by all the fashionable tailors, but
the waistcoat introduced in such a coat
must conform to the general severity
of the costume and may not take or

Little Ills
 of Children

Mothers and all others who have chill dren about the house cannot do their families better service than to learn of simple and reliable remedies that correct children's ailments. Many grown peo- pie are suffering today for the ignorance or negligence of those who had charge of their bringing up.
 Children are prone to constipation, and if it isn't corrected early, the bow els get in the habit of not working nor mally and soon chronic constipation results that may last of and on all through life. Then children eat almost continually and as a consequence indi- gestion sets in soon followed by worms. or stomach pains. or diarrhea or any one of a dozen other troubles. To say that 1t will right itself is putting altogether too much faith in and future health.
 better way Is to give the child dose of som ething intended to cure that very trouble. and nothing better for the purpose is known than pr. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin.

Headaches and Their Causes.

Headaches and Their Causes. Many headaches are due to eye strain. Any defect of the eyesight will cause headache if the existing "error of refraction" is not corrected by suit able glasses.
 The headache due to eye-strain is worse after using the eyes for read ling or writing. and it is generally absent in the morning, after the eyes have been rested during sleep. A sufferer from long sight, short sight or astigmatism is constantly staining his eyes in the endeavor to focus or bring within his range of |vision the object which he Is looking | at, and headache will most certainly result. Any one afflicted with con- |standly recurring headache should visit an oculist at once and have his eyes |tested.
 One of the greatest mistakes pos
 sible is to choose your own glasses at an optician shop by the simple but
 futile expedient of looking through them.
 Suitable glasses can only be properly prescribed by specialist in ophthal- mic medicine.

 Shampooing the Hair.
 A good method of shampooing is tn @ following: Rub well the soap lather through the hair, taking care not to bruise or scratch the skin, then add water and rub well; rinse thoroughly; then repeat the process with father made of pure white castle. The rins- ing should be done through three waters at least: The best method of drying Is to sit or walk about in the sun until every drop of moisture is gone from the hair, letting the wind blow through 1t freely, as the sun and wind will impart a beautiful gloss to hair ohtainable in no other way, and in addition stimulate the skin of the scalp and make it healthy. If the sun treatment is not practicahh use soft towels and then flaming, being care- full to avoid roughness in handling and rubbing. as in its softened condition the hair is very easily broken and split.

Clothing should be loose enough to allow perfect free- dom. 1tds an excellent thing to stop in some quiet spot and take this lung exer- else, which adds wonderfully to the ben efits of the walk: Stand erect, chest out and raise the shoulders as high as possible. Move them steadily up and down for two or three minutes. You will soon be out of breath, which proves that the muscles controlling respiration have been well exercised If this is prae- lticed faithfully the muscles may be at first a little sore, but that will wear off shortly and strong lungs will be the re- suit

Cure for Moist Feet.


 JOHN D-Moist feet are uncomfortable at any season of the year, but in win ter the condition is apt to produce chil plains. 1t is apt to indicate a low con diton of the system. and exercise and tonics are to be taken into the daily routine Local treatment consists Of bathing the feet morning and night and drying most thoroughly. Then rub with alcohol and apply powdered tannin lib- orally. Especial care should be taken that the shoes are not so tight as to prevent circulation. This applies also to the buttons over the ankles. If the shoe- is too tight there the blood will not flow freely into the toes.
 The hairbrush is an important feature. It should be of stiff, medium coarse, but smooth bristles closely set and above all things it must be kept clean as all the soil of the hair adheres to the brush after a thorough brushing. Even while brushing the hair it is wise to take clean towel and wipe the bristles of the brush. Combing the scalp with a fine comb will remove every particle of dust remaining.
 If the hair becomes unduly oily and unmanageable in a short time powdered orris root may be lightly shaken over it and then thoroughly brushed out again-a dry shampoo of this nature will leave tho hair in fine condition.
 The Regal Carriage.
 There is nothing that detracts from the beautiful womanly charm as a plodding, stopped, awkward carriage, and for this af9liction there is absolutely no excuse unless the victim Is in a state of i'll health or has reached the 100-mark age.
