 She Criticised Society Girls

American society women were never touched upon. and those who know me realize too we'll my love and admira- ton for my American sisters. and not for worlds would utter or make 8 statement that is so absurdly. abso- luteIy false and low as quoted In the paper of this day.

 Do your utmost and place me right before my friends and the public.

AN EXPERIMENT.
Revolving Siphon Which Can Be
Rugged Up of Straws and a Cork.

The principle illustrated in the &C.
companying cut might readily serve
to generate power without the use of
machinery. 1t is given, however,
merely Is an interesting and easily
made experiment.
Pour water into a good-sized glass
tumbler until it is two-thirds full and
stand it upon a canister to give it the
necessary elevation. Through the fiat
cork on the surface of the water is a
stout straw, which t~ransversely sup
ports n of the same diameter. To
the latter are attached two other
straws of similar diameter, each of
these having a bit of straw about an
inch in length attached to the end at
an obtuse angle with the outlets cut
on the slant to make easier the exit
of the water.
All the joints are hollow and are
made water-tight with sealing wax.
The ends of the transverse straw are
likewise closed with the wax, but the
ends of the depending straws are left
open.
Now, to start this unique homemade
apparatus in action, let two persons
suck the open ends of the depending
straws until the water begins to flow,

The lower cross-piece is wide enough
to lap a little onto the bureau itself,

a little frame of ~one-quarter inch

should have a piece of glass laid upon
its back, and a piece of black paper
laid behind this, with edges projecting
enough to extend over onto the franc
where these edges are glued to the

paper holds the glass in place and. be-
ing black, makes a mirror of the glass.

good joke on me, he never made a
worse mistake in his life. / can
preach just as good a sermon without
notes as with them-may the Lord

Thereupon Rev. DR.. Goodman went

1t is urged that not only are women

but also that in time of wal their SER

that event male nurses would be need

HAD LISTENED TO DADDY.
Force of Example Exemplified in Pre-

There is a certain man living not
far from New York whose temper is
not of the longest, and when he feels
that his rage is ~justifable he is very
apt to indulge in fluent, versatile and
varied profanity.
And it is when using the telephone
that this talent of his is seen and
heard at it's maximum of speed and
endurance. Central has but to say
wire busy now or, Doesn't an
swer," to evoke a flood of language.
One day he had been having an I'M
usually stormy session, and did not
notice that his ~two-year-old son was
sitting in a corner of the room, his
face rapt and absorbed. A few hours
later the child's mother came in and
was Mortified beyond words to hear
her baby giving voice to a stream of
expletives, some of which began with
& very large capital D-the rest with
a variety of letters quite unmention-

upon him in righteous wrath.
Don't you ever let me hear you
use such words again." she said in no
uncertain tones.

THE annual report of John e.
Wilkie, chief of the secret serv-
ice. shows that for the year closing
with June so last PIG arrests were
made. Of this number 125 made and
passed counterfeit silver coin. Ten
made and endeavored to pass counter
felt paper money, while 25 raised bills.
Of the arrests referred to 115 were
convicted, 25 are awaiting the action
of the courts. So a1e awaiting the &C.
ton of the federal grand jury, % were
acquitted, two were ignored by tho
grand jury, four were nolled, n is
awaiting sentence and two were or
dered discharged by order of federal
attorneys.
OF the tota, number arrested 1872
were native born Americans. Italy
comes second with 81.
Chief Wilkie says that with one ex-
ception the counterfeits of the year
suggested the work of novices or igno-
ant foreigners, and that the volume
of circulation, both of coin and notes,
was smaller than for many years. He
further states that there was a salts
factory diminution in the volume of
raised notes, which may be attributed
largely to the arrest and conviction of
the dangerous criminal and erals

Pretty Negligee
an Indispensable
Part Of Wardrobe

A comfortable and pretty negligee
is as necessary to a girls wardrobe
as a tailor-made suit and party
dresses. Not that many people see
her in her negligee-for she never
leaves her own room with 1t on-but
we all have n or two intimate
friends whom we receive in our W
room. and therefore we appreciate the
luxury of a dainty and pretty dressing
gown, which may be worn after a
busy social, school or business day.
The practical feature of this charm
ing little gown is that it may be
slipped on in q moment, being made
In one piece. There is no bother of
tying or pinning down of shirtwaists,
no hooking of skirt and waist together
or adjusting a collar and girdle, or
any of those trying little deeds which
wear out u patience when we are
tired. The skirt is cut from a plain
six-gored pattern, and is finished with
two five-inch ruffles at the bottom, and
it is Joined to the waist by a band an
inch and a half deep. The band is
trimmed with embroidery beading.
through which ribbon is strung and
tied in a long loop bow in the center
of the front. The blouse fastens down
the middle of the front as does the
skirt, and is tucked to yoke length.
1t is trimmed with two circular, tucked
collars, finished with narrow ra:9lings
at the foot of each collar. The sleeves
are finished with a cuff of beading,
having the ribbon run through it and
tied in an attractive rosette at the top
of the elbow. A tie fastened to the
base of the collars at the center of
the front is made from the same rib
bon.
This little frock is charmingly
dainty when made of Swiss, dimity or
lawn. When something slightly warm
err Is needed, wool batiste, nuns veil
ing, or cashmere may be used with
attractive results. Made of dull red
cashmere with black ribbon trimmings
the frock would be a delight to the
most fastidious eye.
The amount of materials required
for this little dress are ten yards OF
36-inch wide material, one and a half
yards of beading, five yards of ribbon
and one dozen buttons.
