L5,SEi95]}aoUs SILKS LOSE FAVOR
Women Of Fashion Turning 70 the
puller Though still Supple
Materials

Il is predicted by those who are
wise concerning materials that crepe
weaves win have a great vogue. and
this prophecy seems to be borne out
by the more beautiful gowns of the
year
It is certain that satin in any case
win not be nearly so popular as last
year. Lustrous silks have been so
much worn that women seem to have
tired of them and, for a change, turned
to the duller though still supple mate
rails.
Crepe de chine will probably prove
the most satisfactory of the hand
somer materials, for It is SO pliable
that it may be used for the many
draped effects in vogue and at the
same time it is heavy enough to fall
prettily and gracefully around the fig.
ure. It is also a material that lends
Itself to hand embroideries, and 1t com
bines well with all kinds of lace. A
new material also promises to make
its appearance during the season to
come. This is satin, but without the
sheen that this material has hereto
fore possessed. II is called peach
blow satin, for the surface is not per.
fectly smooth, but is slightly downy
ike the skin Of a peach.

The spirit OF purely Chinese ar.

the approach to the tombs Of the
Ming dynasty and in the perfectly
plain structures designed for the
tombs Of the present dynasty.

infinite labor from distant guar
Fies over roads and bridges which
are hardly capable Of sustaining
ordinary cart traffic and nave al
ways to be specially prepared to
prevent the great weights causing
their collapse.
The same admiration for the
employment of huge blocks OF
stone is seen in the case Of the
bridges over the rivers along the
coast Of South Fukien, where the
stone slabs used in the construc
tion occasionally measure go feet
in length and are estimated q
weigh nearly 100 tens, and thl
bridges thems Ives have a length
Of 1000 to 2,0c0 yards.

ORIGIN OF BARsER's POLE.
Real Truth Regarding Long Estab-

AS in the case of many other
simple things, the origin of the
barber's pole has been attributed
to the most outlandish and far
fetched sources, among others
the association with the word
"pOll" (head), with which the bar
Der has chiefly to do, says the Phil
adelphia Inquirer. AS a matter Of
simple history, however, and not
so long ago, either, the barber
had business with other parts Of
the body and performed certain
operations which are now re.
stricted to the medical practitiOn.
er, the chief of which was bleed.
ing, and thereby hangs the present
tale.
The staff which every patient
about to uh6ergO bloOd-letting
was given to hold in his or her
hand during the proceedings was
frequently, when not in use,
placed outside the door, and soon
became the recognized sign Of the
self-cOnstituted phlebOtomist's
profession. Nov two long band

REFEREE TOOK THE MONEY
Why Was Stove Four Feet Above
FloorP - Guide Settles Dispute
Telling Of Lack Of stOvepipe.

During the college days of ex-
Mayor Bessom, OfLynn, he had two
of the professors Of the college as
guests at a hunting camp in the
Maine woods, relates the Boston
Herald. When they entered the
camp their attention was attract
ed to the unusual position Of the
stove, which was set on posts
about four feet high.
One Of the professors began to
comment upon the knowledge
woodsmen gained by observation.
'Now," said he, !"this man has dis

from the stove strikes the roof,
land the circulation is so quick

The other professor was Of the
opinion that the stove was ele-
waited to be above the window, in
order that cool and pure air could
be had at night.
Mr.. Bessom, being more prae
teal, commended that the stove was
elevated in order that a good sup

beneath it to dry.
After considerable argument
each man placed a dollar bill upon
the table, and it was agreed that

why the stove was placed in such
