1t is exceedingly fashionable in
Paris to wear artificial flowers in pref
erence to the real bloom. AS they do
not wilt or crush like the natural ones,
they can be worn several times before
they need freshening. With the tai
lor-made costumes they are pinned to
the lapel and with evening gowns they
are fastened to the corsage. An i'm
mense rose or bunch of violets are the
most popular flowers.

FADS AND FASHIONS.

The gowns Of the modified Directoire
order are still the talk of New York
and Paris. Such a fashion in extreme
developments will never find favor
with the conservative minded. but
when modified and toned down it is
sure TO be an accepted fashion for
time at least. However, it is not a
suitable gown TO be worn on the
street. although many women here in
New York have been bold enough to
wear slashed Directoire on the
prominent streets 1t is a gown that.
when perfectly carried out and worn
by a tail, graceful woman, does not
present a disgraceful appearance, but
on the other hand, it can easily be
made conspicuous and vulgar Some
OF the materials employed are the
most transparent fabrics made and
under them are worn pink fieshings
Most women are loath to give up their
hufty lingerie for a pair of long silk
hose and short, tight-fitting linen
cambria chemise, which is all the un-
derwear that some of the Paris beau
ties are wearing. The skirts to these
models are swathed about the figure
IN long, clinging lines with long.
pointed train which is laid around the
feet in unbroken lines. The hips are
in no way visible and are sometimes
htted by upturned plaits which extend
downward several inches No lining
whatever is permissible around the
foot of the skirts, for they must curve
in rather than stand out, to carry out
the sienderness of silhouette 1t is
not probable that even society women
will adopt these ultra styles, but for.
the stage where eXaggerations prevail,
they are just the thing. These STYLES
are merely reproductions OF the robes
OF ancient Greece and Rome. but they
are greatly modified and cannot begin
TO compare with the diaphanous
gowns with which the beauties of that
age adorned themselves.
The lingerie blouses of the season
are the daintiest that have been seen
for many a day. The aIl-over Valen-
ciennes waists are rivals of the net
blouses, but they have won the favor
because of their cool and dainty APP
pearance for summer. They are trim
med with fine Swiss embroideries and
for more elaboration, MORE ribbon,
embroidered satin bands and gold. sill
yer or pearl applications are used
Some of the waists are trimmed with
Cluny and Irish crochet insertions,
either in panel effects or put on as
medallions The high stocks and
fancy girdles are also of the insertion

DANGER IN EARLY RISING.

Somebody will have to revise the
ancient proverb that 'early to bed
and early to rise makes man healthy
wealthy and WISE" 1t does nothing
of the sort. 1t makes him insane.
DR.. Savary, the French scientist,
said so to the members Of the French
Academy, and DR.. Forbes Ross, in an
interview, upheld the view sof his
French colleague.
According to him, early rising
makes for mental inetficiency. If we
we're allowed to go to sleep and to
wake up when we liked, nerve i'll
nesses and half the ailments in the
world would be abolished 1t is only
plowman or yokel who has no
brain work to do who can rise early
With impunity. But then, it is
pointed out, he goes to bed at in
the evening. 'People must have a
healthy heart to rise early" said DIR.
For bes Ross. Many a person with
weak heart has jumped up, awaking
Few brain workers of any value get
up early. One or two noveiists boast
that their best work is done in the
early hours of the morning-but,
then, they don't say how they rest for
the remainder of the day.
If man wakes up and remains
awake for some time, he should then
get up. But if he is awakened before
his sleep is exhausted, the tendency
is to go to sleep again. And this
shows that forced early rising is
wrong.
No man should be forced to get out
of bed at $50, have to be idle half
the day, finish with hard squirt, and
then be dragged out of bed again in
the early morning.
Ninety per cent of the early risers
end by suffering from insomnia. And
many of them get the habit because
they can not sleep. They are like the
body else to follow their pernicious
example"
Finally DR.. Forbes Ross declares
that "a man who'wakes up Of his own
accord will do double the work of
the man who forces himself to get up
early. The thick headed, sleepy
clerk is the man who gets to the office
first in the morning. He is not
worth his wages. The brightest man
is the man who is late because he has
over slept himself"

Etinuette of the Elao.

The army regulations of the United
States provide that the flag at every
post shall he raised at reveille each
morning and lowered each evening at
sunset while the soldiers stand ut sa-
lutte and the band plays THE star
Spangled Banner"
The flag is never left out overnight
for any reason. except perhaps one.
When fort or military post is actual
ly under fire from the enemy the flag
may wave defiantly until hostiities are
over. This was POLITICALLY eXemplified
in Keys immortal song. wherein one
line has it, Through the night our flag
was still there"
At all army posts, moreover, there Is
special storm flag, half as large ms
the regular post flag, which is flown
IN stormy and windy weather.
Another regulation is that on all Oc'
casions when the flag Is displayed al
half mast 1t shall be lowered to that
position from the top Of the staff. II

Ben Folsom because she had consid-

Ben had gone west and she was left

had married to be rid of them, and she
treated the stepdaughter with scant
courtesy.
The ways of the household were
amended to suit her radical tastes.
The old rockers were sent to the attic
as too old fashioned and two upholster-

Vesta sank YEARLY upon a shoe box
and gazed forlornly about her. The
last Of the packing was accomplished.
The last nail had been driven home
into the shoe box, which contained the
books that were to be kept out for the
new home. The rest of the beloved
library remained in the cases, gaps
showing where the selections had been
made.
The corner of the lower shelf had
been the resting place of the blue and
silver "Pilgrim's Progress" ever since
Vesta could remember, a book to be
taken out Sunday afternoons and car
ried to the gentle mother, who patient
ly explained time after time the mean
ing Of the fascinating woodcuts.
There was very large gap where
the encyclopedias had been. She had
bought those with the eggs and butter
money. AS her eyes roamed over the
partly filed cases. she could fill every
gap from mona DRY.
And as it was with the books, so was
1t with the rest of the household be-
longings. Here and there blank cor
ner reminded her of some familiar OBJ
ject now stacked in the wood shed.
Very little was to be shipped, for the
way was far and freight rates were
high. Tomorrow the neighbors would
gather and John Berwin would hang
out the red flag. BY nightfall the
house would be emptied and its con-
tents scattered through the farmhouses
for miles around.
Tears came unbidden to Vesta's
eyes as she looked about. Her earliest
memories were of the homely living
room with its rag carpet and the com
Portable rocking chairs on either side
Of the stove in winter or standing in
front Of the north windows in sGmmer,
when the double sashes were taken
down and the wind blew through the
house, softly scented by the blooms
from the orchard on the other side Of
the well kept fence.
1t was the only home Vesta had ever
known. 1t seemed to the tired girl
that she could never learn to love an
other half so well.
Until her mothers death Vesta had
been shielded from all troubles. After
she had come back from the little

Menu of a Christmas Dinner Served
In FeudaI Times.
"a Christmas dinner in feudal times"
said an antiquary. was served ut II
o'clock in the morning. 1t began with
plum pudding, or plum porridge, as
they called it In their old fashioned
way; a suet pudding stuffed with raj
and ginger.
"NeXt came boar's head on a silver
platter decorated with holly. This dish
was heralded with n flourish of trum-
pets and the lighting of the great Yule
log The head had n lemon in its
mouth. A hot mustard sauce went
with it.
'The third course was peacock in
full plumage. Its beak was gilded,
and 1t was stuffed with spices and
sweet herbs.
Geese and capons followed drench-
ed with amber grease, and then came
frumenty, for which I'll give you the
recipe"
The old man read here from his note
book:
"'Frumenty.-Take clean wheat and
brey it in q mortar till the hulls be
all gone off and seethe it till it burst,
and take 1t up and let it cool, and
take clean fresh broth and sweet milk
of almonds or sweet milk Of kline and
temper 1t all. and take the yolks Of
eggs Boil it q little and wet it down
and mess it forth with fat venison.'
"There were other fixings," the an
tiquary ended. "such as hacken sau-
sage, Drawn pudding and souse, cheese,
apples and nuts. The drinks were
beer, malvoisie and sherris sack."'

1t is estimated that in the Gold
field mining district 81, 600, 900 worth
of high grade ore has sbeen stolen by
miners who carried the ore out in
their pockets. 1t is claimed by de-
tectives and experts who have lnvesti-
gated the matter that this has been
the work of few men.-not more
than a hundred of the thousands of
miners employed in the high igrnde
mines being under suspicion. These
men are called in the miners, verna-
eular high graders and most of
them are expert miners, and for the
sake of big gains they are willing to
run the risk of working in tunnels
that are Insecurely timbered, and
where many other conditions are I'M
satisfactory, or unsafe. Thus, they
have little trouble choosing their
places of employment so long as they
can escape detection. In some cases
where no watch was kept, it was dis
covered later that as high as sixty
pounds of ore had been taken in one
day by one man.
