MINER IS BURNED
 BADLY
(From Mondays Daily.)

(From Mondays Daily)
 Tony Sborgia, an Italian. was so se- verely burned early yesterday morn ing by a gasoline explosion on the beach at the mouth of Sinr ,clx T:iver, that he is now in loly Cross Hospital struggling between life and death with practically no chance of recovery.
 The man was engaged in mining with which to pump water to the sluces he was operating. .an UT gasoline he had in his hand was ,g- nited and the mans body soon became mass of flames.
 He ran to the sea and jumping into the water quenchod the blaze, and WIs rescued from the water more dead than alive. The salt water in the ter rible burns he received added to the agony he suffered. A telephone mes sage to the city resulted in the life saving crw going to the scene and the man was brought here Tn the atter- noon.
 Dr. Hill dressed the burns at the hospital relieving the miners sufferings as much as possible. Dr. Sloan also attended the case with Dr. Hill, and both physicians are of the opinion that Sborgia has little or no chance to re- cover.
 He has lost much skin, his face and pletely stripped of their covering. A small place on the breast was un- touched by the flames. Tho man is about twenty-one years of age, and is a member of the miners union.

GREAT F|NANC|ER
 AT DEATHS DOOR

The carriage bumped into another vehicle and one of the horses attach ed to it began struggling and kicking. Lawson was struck by the hoofs of the kicking horse and when picked up was quite unconscious. It was believ- ed at first that he was dead, but on examination showed that he was yet alive.
 Passersby picked up the man and his daughter and took them to a near by drug store from where they were removed to their home The little girl was uninjured, but it is the belief that her father is injured internally. The physicians are doing everything possible for the man. His family is greatly shocked over the occurrence.

CANARY PUGlLISTS
 AT THE ELITE BATHS

The oldest things in pugilism can be seen at the Elite Bath House where the owner, George James, has two young canaries, from the same nest, that are continual ghting each other. The birds are but seven weeks old but are able to fight as well as most adult birds. Their sparring matches are confined usually to the top of the large cage in the bath office. A few days ago one of the birds made a grand rush at his opponent and literally knocked him from the battle-ground. The birds deliver their blows with the wings.

WAISTS OF MANY MATERIALS.
Fancy of Fashion That Can Be Made
Most Effective.

One new point in fashions is the
combining of two or three different
materials. With plain crepe de
chine or wolfe will be combined plated
chiffon or mousseline de sole, while
bands of silk or velvet form point
where the two fabrics are joined. In
one waist will be seen two or even
three kinds of lace and chiffon, as well
as the material that matches the rest
of the gown-a small yoke and collar
of fine laces to begin or end with; be-
low this yoke there will be another of
different lace of heavier mesh or even
of gold or silver embroidered lace;
then over this plating of chiffon ex-
tremely sheer in quality, and, finally,
the rest of the waist of whatever may
be the gowns material. In the descrip-
ton this sounds too involved and COM
plicated to be really smart, but II sue
cessfully carried out, the fashion is
most effective, and makes waist
seem much smarter and more elab-

tucked or pleated depends largely
upon the size of the wearer. The
very slender woman looks very well in
fairly broad pleats. and the soft
batiste is always specially graceful
when pleated The stout woman,
however, will find that even in such
soft material when the lines are
longitudinal pleats, In blouse at
least, they are decidedly menacing to
a trim effect. Fine tucks, on the con,
trary, are becoming to all alike and,
moreover, the tucked blouse will
usually stand laundering better than
the pleated one. When the blouse is
to be made of silk this of course does,
not have to be taken into considera-
ton, and so silk blouses are being
made up with these longitudinal
pleats by way of obtaining slight
variation from the usual tub blouse.
The blouse shown is made In very
clever fashion to give the suggestion
of the full shoulder drapery now so
fashionable, and also so as to present
somewhat the appearance of a jumper
or surplice design. The material is
laid in four pleats on each side, the
outermost pleat coming so well over
the shoulder that it looks almost like
a cape. A round yoke is set in be
tween these two groups of pleats. Be
meath the yoke the material is also
pleated.

DURING THE HOT WEATHER.
Special Attention Should Be Paid to
ChIdren's Garments.

Besides selecting proper material
for clothing children and fitting the
garments properly, it is an important
matter to make them simply and of
material that will endure the frequent
washing required In hot weather, at
least, no starch should be used. Care
should be taken about washing chill
dren's underwear. Use good soap and
thoroughly rinse before drying. No
napkin or under-garment soiled by any
excretion should be dried and worn
again. In hot weather when the chill
dren play out-of-doors in the dirt, their
garments need frequent changing and
should be put on fresh each morning,
at least the under-garments. They
should never wear at night the under
garments worn during the day. White
underwear is much more sanitary than
colored, especially as there are so
many cheap aniline dyes used at the
present time. The special injuries to
the skin from improper undergarments
and poisonous dye stuffs are heat rash,
pimples, boils, nettle rash and often
severe itching. Cotton fabrics are so
varied in texture that most of the
wardrobe can be chosen from them. A
few wooden outer wraps for cold wealth
er will be required. When the baby
frets from an apparent cause, examine
his skin and all the creases of his body
and his garments. See how happy he
feels when you undress him and lay
him down in fresh clean sheet to ex-
ercise his muscles. The Master said,
"The body is more than raiment;"
therefore the little ones should not be
made martyrs by improper clothing

THE FIRST TASTE

If parents realized the fact that cof-
is especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before CIV
ing the babies coffee to drink.
when l was child in my mothers
arms and first began to nibble things
at the table, mother used to give me
sips of coffee. AS my parents used
coffee exclusively at meals | never
knew there was anything to drink but
coffee and water.
"And so / contracted the coffe habit
early. l remember when quite young,
the continual use of coffee so affected
my parents that they tried roasting
wheat and barley, then ground it in the
coffee-mill, as substitute for coffee.
But it did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was

Unbleached Muslin.

The possibilities of unbleached
muslin are not appreciated. This
cheap material is of mellow, creamy
tone which lends. itself peculiarly to
artistic decoration. For summer cot
tage hangings it is most desirable
material, the unevenness of weave
suggesting certain silken fabrics. A
