DOTNGS IN THE WORLD
OF FASHION.

Dotted swisses with tiny flower
sprigs are dainty materials for the
inexpensive summer negligee, and
are furnished this season in delect-
able designs and colorings. Often a
slip of China silk in white or soft
color is used under the swiss and
greatly enhances the charm of the
model.
Black silk petticoats may be
cleaned, after they have been we'll
shaken and thoroughly freed from
dust by the use of soft brush, by
sponging them off with clear ammo
MIA diluted in warm water, then by
pressing with hot iron over several
thicknesses of paper. White or light
silk petticoats, after having been
freed from dust, may be cleaned with
naphtha. Silk bodices may be clean
ed in the same way.
A white lawn shirt waist whose
service Is apparently over, may be

for making the founce, which should
not be more than seven inches wide.

name America appears for the first
time as the designation of a part of
the world. To find out the reason for
that designation, however, one must
go further back than that. Columbus
started out to prove that the world
was round and not fiat. He sailed
west in order to get to the Indies in
the east. Vespucius tried to find the
antipodes. Both considered them
selves successful, Columbus think
ing the West Indies to be part of In
dia and Vespucius imagining that,
after crossing the equator, the land
he came to must be that of the anti
podes. Vespucius wrote widely of
his discovery and his work was
While the people of that time
hit upon new way Of reaching an
old continent, they thought that Yes
pucius had come across part of the
world hitherto unknown, and that
North America, discovered by Column
bus, was part of Asia, and South
America, discovered America, reach
ed by Vespucius, a continent separa-
ted entirely from every other part OF
the world by the equator.
In the year 1905 Martin Waldsee-
muller was appointed professor of
geography at st. Die. in Lorraine,
Germany. He secured a copy of a
French translation of the second let
ter that Americas Vespucius wrote
about his discovery of the antipodes,
and he appended this letter to
treatise which he had written on the
geography of Ptolemy. 1t was printed
in 1907, and in it Waldseemuller
explained that fourth part of the
world had been discovered. This
new world corresponds to what we
now know as Brazil, and which in
the sixteenth century was known as
the Land Of the Holy Cross. VALID
seemuller, however, called it Ameri-
ca, in honor of it's discoverer. Thus
a German professor was responsible
for the naming Of the Western Hem
sphere.-Leslie's Weekly.

For centuries Constantinople has
been famous for its multitude of
dogs, which throng it's streets, and

tolerated, but now the city possesses
a sewerage system and human gar

less to eat and nothing to do. The
Mohammedan religion forbids the
killing of dogs, and while some have
been killed, many thousands have

Childhood and Toys.

Pedagogical authorities generally
agree that a child should not have
too many toys, for multiplying play
things means that one, scarcely used,
will be quickly discarded for
newer attraction, and that the pos
sibilities of any single toy will never
be developed.
The toy and the child, however,
bear another relation to each other
usually not comprehended, and 1t is
the failure to understand this fact
that frequently accounts for the
boredom of many children with their
playthings. Just as the generation
that has been spanked never spanks
the one which follows, so it is as
impossible for parents to realize that
the toys they longed for as children
and never got are not the things
their offspring most desire.
Mrs. A, denied in early youth a
dolls house, gives Ada an elaborate
one, despite the fact that what the
child really Graves is a paint-box and
a tricycle.. T., who had vain1y wish
ed for loud, resounding drum and
other martial equipments, carefully
chooses them for his boy. when a
complete tool-chest was the goal of
Toms ambitions. And so it goes.
Undoubtedly Ada and Tom will, in
their turn, bestow the tricycle. and
tool-chest upon their little sons and
daughters, who want, quite as their
grandparents did, the unattainable
dolls house and drum.
Again, parents, eager for the
child's development, are apt to force
toys and games quite beyond his
comprehension upon him, thus rob-
bling some plaything that later would
be joy of all possible charm. This
is only one degree worse than the
feeling some mothers have for the
picturesqueness of certain play
things. Freddy may not want to walk
downtown his arms clasping either
an enormous red ball or a Teddy
bear, and even if maternal judg-
ment yields and allows the boy to
drag after him battered, disrepu-
table cart, the injured decorative in
stinct is still there, often to return
stronger than ever
The relation between childhood
and toys is sacred, and although
older people are frequently urged to
remember when they were little and
to put themselves in the child's
place. the child's own individuality
should, nevertheless, be consulted

New Accidental Discovery Gives Startling
Results-Puts Flesh on Thin People and

Simple Prescription Given.

For wonderland men, too, for that
matter-who can never appear stylish
with anything they wear, because Of alb
normal thinness and angularity, this re-
markable prescription is destined to solve
the problem. AS a beauty maker for the
figure it is simply wonderful, while it
adds brightness to the eyes and color to
the cheeks and lips. It requires no par
ticular dieting. but acts as an aid to ma
ture by it's peculiar action on the nerves
and blood supply. The blood and nerves
distribute over the body all the nourish-
ment or flesh building elements obtained
from the food. The trouble with thin
people has always been that they do not
absorb or retain enough OF the fieshy
matter to make them gain in weight even
to a normal extent; but this new discov-
cry of blending certain harmless drugs is
revelation to science, and hundreds

coming too fat When you get the right
weight then stop using.

greatly improved in anyone from the age
of sixteen to sixty. Women soon get

ROUTINE Of
THE BOARD OF
PUBLIC WORKS
CITY SHOWS THAT 1T CAN BUILD
GOOD ROADS MUCH CHEAPER
THAN CAN BE DONE BY CON-
TRAcTINGt FOR WORK THE
PROCEEDINGS.

From a report which was transmit
ted to the board of works last even
ing, it was shown that the city has
been enabled to construct good, last
ing roads much cheaper than it has
been able to get from letting the work
out at private contract. The street
superintendent reported that the total
cost of building a hard road for a dis
lance Of seventeen and one-half blocks
was S1,S53.05. The chairman of the
board, Mr.. Jennings, and the mayor
both testified readily as to the type
of road which had been built for that
price, and both Of them said that it
was excellent. The road is that on
Jackson street westward, and permits
sion was given the street superin-
tendent some weeks ago to go ahead
and build the road as he saw fit. 1t
was stated ia the time that a road
from the west side of the city was ur-
gent, because of the heavy traffic
from the county, and the street
superintendent report last night
showed the work completed.
Meeting In Detail.
Chairman Jennings called the board
to order at 4:30 o'clock In the after
noon and a session of nearly three
hours duration was held. DIR. Block
er and Messrs. Fisher and Schad were
in attendance.
Rev. Thos. Lennox, of the First
Christian church, and Rev. G. w. Ga
win, appearing for the ladies Of the
building association of the First Meth
odist church, asked for permission to
use a portion of East Garden street
near the Humane fountain, during
Mardi Gras for the purpose of serv-
ing luncheon. Permission was grant
ed. The west side of the street had
been previously granted to the ladies
of the Gadsden Street Methodist
church. Before taking their depar-
ture, the ministers extended a cordial
invitation to the members of the
board to call at their tents and get
dinner on that day.
Garden Street Blockade.
The communication which the board
had sent to the council relative to
the removal of property which now
blocks Garden street at the Eleventh
avenue intersection was returned by
the clerk, and the question was dis
eussed at length. 1t was finally de-
c1ded to table the communication for
the present, SUBJECT to call.

Thos. Chfpella, who wrote the coun-
Gil relative to the closing of E street,
and who desired that the street be
opened, was again heard from. He
petitioned the board to order the
street opened, and it was stated that
the P. & P. railroad is now building
an oil house near his fence. The
matter was referred to the city at
torney and engineer, the latter to fur
nish the attorney with information
relative to whether or not street
spaces are being utilized illegally. and
the city may have to go into extensive
condemnatory proceedings. In con-

were consigned to our Company.
