SATIN ON SHEER FABRICS.
FaVorite Decoration Seen Upon the
Summer Gowns.

Soft satin is more extensively used
than ever for trimming sheer sum-
mer fabrics, and looks especially well
against a background of fresh crisp
organdy. One of the models of the
week along the Rue de la Paix is an
old yellow organdy, the skirt weighted
with bands of yellow satin. This
hangs from under a girdle of the same
material, embroidered on the upper
edge with yellow silk.
The Roumanian, Breton, Chinese
and Japanese embroideries in all
their brutality of color are also favor.

that goes well with the summer
months.
Tinted filet lace is used upon many

STORING SEED POTATOES.
How the Tubers May Be Kept in
Splendid Condition.

If potatoes intended for seed are
placed in pits and properly covered
they will come out in the spring with
out a sprout; they will also be as
firm as when placed in the pits. This
condition certainly indicates that no
vitality has been lost.
Every sprout that starts on a po.
tato and is broken off removes just
so much vitality from the seed. |
find that it is necessary to dig the
pit more than six or eight inches deep.
That is just deep enough to get a
good, solid bottom, so that the pota.
toes can be shoyeled up easily with
potato scoop. Fifty to 100 bushels
may be put into one pit safely.
When the pit is full cover with
about eight inches of straw. then nut
on eight inches of dirt. The third Law.
er should be another layer of straw
and then another layer of dirt. If
the temperature falls below zero for
length of time, cover the pit with
stable manure. By following this
method, says correspondent of Prai.

that spoil or have been injured in
any way.

Ankle Corsets

When everybody is leaving for the
country with the children to take
long walks and look for rosy cheeks.
it is well to make provision for those
who have weak ankles, says the Chi.
caso News. Until now mothers have
thought a flannel band sufficient. but
there is little value in this practice
The flannel band often works loose
and If fastened tightly enough to pre.
vent this is apt to induce a painful
swelling above and below it. The de.
mand for something to take the place
OF this has brought out the ankle
corset. These are thin bands of

Inereaae of Gold.


Gold was the substance for which
all the world hungered, and yet when
Columbus discovered America there
was less than s25O,00O,0OO of it in all
Europe. Surely it has been a difficult
substance to find. Centuries had
passed, during which this yellow metal
had been carefully boarded, and yet
all of Europe held less than quarter
of billion of 1t. That was matter
Of AIS years ago When the great ex'
plorer set sail for unknown shores the
world was increasing its stock of gold
at the rate of less than $4,000.000 an
nually. II would therefore take Eu-
rope SO years to duplicate its gold
holdings. When another hundred
years had passed the output had in
creased to 100000 annually There
was nothing startling in such an in
crease. To bring this about it has
been necessary to ransack the treas
ures of Peru, Mexico and other new
countries. Once more we move the
hand of time forward hundred years
until we come to 1900, in which year
the average gold production is only
100000 yearly. Certain there was
no reason to fear an over-production
OF gold. Another hundred years
brings us to 1900, in which compare
lively modern time the annual produc-
ton of gold was only $4,000, 900.
Thus we find, says Frederick U.
Adams, in Success, that, during the
three centuries following the discovery
OF America, the worlds average an
nual increase in gold was $26, SOS. Had
this modest ratio been maintained for
the next hundred years, the total pro-
duction of gold in 1900 would have
been about $15,0O0,00O How much do
you suppose 1t actually was? Double
that amount? Three times 1t? Make
another guess. 1t was $262, 220,915i

the deduction that man over there is

many times when he was kind to
