A Story of Fires.

Figures collected by the Interna-
ltional Society of State and Municipal
Building Commissioners and Inspec-
tors show that every week, on an
average, fires in the United States
burn up three theatres, three public
halls, twelve churches, ten schools,
two hospitals, two asylums, two col
leges,'' six apartment-houses, three de-
partment stores, two jails, twenty-six
notes.-the fires at seashore resorts
this summer will raise the hotel aver
age-140 fiat" houses, and 1000
single dwelling houses. Such a rec
ord of waste is bad. but it is not
surprising in land of wooden build
ings. Moreover, many of the build
ings destroyed would have been torn
down IL they had not burned. A
countryman who suffered from a slight
fire said he had lost two houses and
three barns If you counted the dog
houses, the chicken-house, and the
cowshed. In such lists as the fore

call itself so even If it occupies but
three rooms, and does most of it's

HOW FASHIONS ORIGINATE.

People are always eager to find out
who originates the fashions, and every
one knows that they emanate from
Paris, the centre of taste. To create a
new style is of as great import to the
Partisan dressmaker as the building of
an empire, and as much thought is
given TO /, as to the adjustment of some
international question.
The dull months, or, in other words,
the dead season, is the time when the
dressmakers and manufacturers put their
heads together and decide what is to
be or not to be. There are lengthy
conferences in the bureau of the pa
tron,' or head of the establishment. for
while an autocrat he is open 10 sugges-
tons and willing to adopt any that
appear practical from even the humblest
source. However, certain styles PEE
sumably created by such important
houses as Doucet, Paquil, Francis and
others are by no means invariably form
ulated in their ateliers. There are hum
dreds of fashion artists, both men and
women, who conceive novelties and sub
init their sketches to the supreme pur-
veyors of La Mode, who accept or re-
ject them according to their fancy. To
keep style too long in vogue is bau

The No-Clothes Cure,

Gustave Nagel was a very delicate
child and grew to manhood almost a
chronic invalid. His parents had
spent fortunes on medical attention
for him. and he had consumed bar
rels Of medicine. but all to no effect.
Some years ago he conceived the
idea that modern man lived too far
from the state in which nature in
tended that he should, and he re-
solved to return to the habits of his
premeval forefathers and become
strong or die in the attempt. He dis
carded all clothes. except what the
law required. ate only raw foods and
no meat, and bathed only in water of
a natural temperature.
At first of course he suffered severe
ly, but in a few years he was able
to walk barefooted in the snow with
as little discomfort as the ordinary
mortal suffers going shoeless on
sandy beach In. summer. When he
batheS he never dries himself; when
he sleeps he prefers the cold, bare
ground; he never has his hair cut
short, deeming il a protection from
the weather given man by nature; his
food Ii Of fruits, vegetables, bread and
nuts. Nagel is about to be married.
but } am not able to say whether
the lady of his choice is a new wo-
man or has primeval tendencies like
his own.-LQndon Taller.

One Way Of Owning a Diamond.

some time ago. He was to pay for il

He made the first payment and the dia-
mond was delivered to him. At the
end of the first month the collector
came around again. The young man
was broke Finally he went to a pawn
broker, borrowed SIS on the ring and
paid the collector. In three weeks he
got the ring out by paying $1,000. Then
in another week the collector came
around again. Once more the ring
was pawned. Then it became a strug-
gle for the young man to get the ring
out in time to pawn it again, but he
did. 1t has now been four months
since the diamond was purchased The

FADS IN NECKWEAR.

Neckwear is always an important con-
sideration to the well dressed woman.
and the shops recognize its prominence
by the extensive, varied and most at
tractive displays of novelties intended
for the stylish and becoming. adornment
of the neck. Neck pieces, which COM
bine stock and tie, promise to retain
their popularity during the late summer
and fall. 1mportations of exclusive Par
isian neckwear show a decided inclina-
ton toward their adoption for autumn,
the designs being carried out in the I'm
est French fabrics, embellished with the
exquisite handwork of the French
needlewoman. Among the imported
stock and tie combinations linen lawn
has been extensively used in all the deli
cate shades, pink, pale blue, lavender and
buff. The turnover and ends are daint-
lily enriched with drawn work or effec-
lively finished with narrow border of
contrasting color. A stylish tucked
stock comes in lawn of various tints. 1t
is made with turnover of lace, border
ed with a narrow binding of the lawn.
A tie, through the centre of which runs
insertion, as in the turnover, is attached
to the back. 1t is left long enough for
the ends simply to cross in front, where
they are held in place with a brooch.
The Ascot in mercerized cheviot, in
plain white colors, and in colors with
white strips, is fashionable style of
neckwear The preferred form
of arranging these Ascots is by simply
crossing the ends in front.-Cleveland

American Capital Saved ENGLAND.

Were there no United States would
English society be solvent? asks Mar
matuke" inthe London Graphic. That
question has never yet been asked or
examined. Several millions have been
brought into our society during the
last forty years by American heiress-
es, and an enormous sum has been
received in exchange for land, paint
ings. engravings, old, furniture, works
of art, jewels, plate and books. More
over, American capital has been in
vested in this country mostly through
the intervention of titled Englishmen,
who, Of course. have generally ben
efitcd by the transaction. Probably
one hundred millions have come to
the West End through these various
transactions. Would the West End
have been bankrupt had the sum not
been procurable?
