divorced man. He dropped in to
see his wife occasionally to give

There was no further combat,

The Boat That Nature Built.

Man makes the largest sea-going
vessels, but nature constructs the
smallest. This, a species of jellyfish,
is found only in tropical seas, and it
has a sail.
That part of the fish that is sub
merged resembles a mass of tangled
threads, while the "sail" looks like
a tough membrane, shaped like a
shell, and measuring quite five inches
or more across. The jellyfsh can
raise or lower this sail at will.
Knowing seamen avoid contact
with this curiosity of nature, for the
reason that each Of the threads COM
posing its body possesses the power
of in1icting a very painful sting. This
sting enables the jelly6sh to defend
itself from porpoises, a~lbatrosses and
other natural enemies.
It may BE added that this odd little
creature has no other means Of loco
motion aside from it's sail. When
seen skimming along the surface Of
the water it closely resembles a
child's toy boat, giving no indication
whatever of a living creature In
search of food.-Harper's Weekly.

Leng-waisted effects appear in the
new lingerie.
Flowers of different kinds and COL
ors are seen together.
Foulard is coming in for something
of its old-time popularity.
Innings must be as soft as they can
be made and as clinging.
The popularity of the embroidery
robe is more marked than eve be-
fore.

Tiny white linen buttons are used

gowns.
Black and black and white both
promise to be fashionable yelling
colors.
Marquisettes, linen homespuns, all
now appear in checks, both gun club

An odd fancy of the moment is the
use on dressy toilettes of bells of var
Iished leather.
The hexagon mesh is the yelling
most often met with, whether the veil
be fine or coarse.
The soft serges and cashmere are
used to build travelling costumes for

Hand embroidery and pretty laces

the new blouses.
Nets are again much Liked for
transparent undersleeves and guimpe

A new lace g%renadine. more often

among the materials.
Narrow silk fringe is used to edge
many of the new straw hats, the eff
feet being to soften the face.
Billows of fluffy materials and cob
webby laces enhance nearly every lin

1t seems that the rabat is to have

The scarf, first intended as a light
covering for the head, nov has devel-

Dressing q Girl.

A very difficult problem to a mother
IS the dressing of the between age
girl. The average girl Of sixteen is
not infrequently a most attractive
person, but requires most careful
dressing. She has all the grace and
charm of budding womanhood, with
some of the g%aucherie of childhood.
With abundant locks and bright
pink cheeks quiet dressing is a neces-
sity. None Of the laclness OF very
young girlhood is possible, or she
looks overdressed. If trimmings are
used, they must be of the simplest
description, and, if possible, self-col-
ored.
For the girl still at school there IS
nothing nicer than a navy-Dlue coat
and skirt, worn with various blouses
and a simple hat. But there are times
when other attire is necessary, and
then it is realized how hard it is to
dress the adorescent girl. She must
be simply CARRIED, yet, of course, de-
sires her clothes to be pretty. There
fore. special consideration should be
given to her Notwithstanding,
materials and style, being well
thought out.-Philadelphia Record.

When Prices Were Really High.

Editor Caldwell evidently feels con-
tempt for this effeminate generation
that complains of the high cost of liv-
ing, for he INDUCES in the following
"reminiscences in the Jasper News:
ut makes old Confederate soldiers
tired to listen to this everlasting talk
about high prices. The editor OF this
paper has sat down in the Petersburg.
Va, market and paid SIS for q meal
consisting Of a handful Of greens, a
piece of corn bread, a small piece or
bacon and a glass of milk. But then
he was able to pay it, OF course as
his wages were Sill a month, which
he never received. High prices, in
deed. This generation knows moth
ing about high prices. "-Florrta

Astounding to the eye;
And this machine may soar serene

As brilliant as the stars;
It's wondrous force may beat the horse
Regarding strength of leg;
Oh, great we know is the dynamo,
But it cannot lay an egg
No, you can bet no motor yet
Has ever laid all egg.
Oh, statesmen great may preach and prate'
And poets may decant
Their peevish plant, and painters paint,
And good refornlers rant.

Men Bunslers as Builders.

"I looked at one house to-day
highly desirable in many respects, IN
which the kitchen and scullery were
at opposite ends Of a long passage.
Cannot you realize that only a man
could have been guilty of such an
arrangement? The lack of cupboards
is another masculine omission, and
even those that are put in usually
are ineonveniently placed. Men also
are responsible for building most
bathrooms far too small for real COM
fort. In houses, as distinct from
apartments, they rarely make the
stair ratings high enough, the result
being that most staircases are death
traps for ~clambering children; and
nursery windows often are made SO
high that the little ones cannot pos
sibly see out of them, while the room
itself too often is placed in a gloomy
and sunless part of the house. so
far as I am concerned the house
hunter wound up, I'VE are uncom-
Portable where we are, and, from all

quite as desirable in the home as in

another declares that the home, the
church and society needs women who
can think, who love the truth, who
are courageous, who are public spir-
tied, efficient, eager for service and
are, withal, sincere, gentle, synlpa-
thetic and womanly." No, the sweet
girl graduate Is not merely a finished
art work, however much she may
look to be a thing perfect and COM
pleted when viewed across the foot
| lights as she appears in her gradual
ing glory. Her commencement day
! marks a commencement in her life
mission; and her life mission is not
by any means, according to those who
should be we'll qualified to speak for

road."-Baltirnore American.

Tonic of the County Town.

He who has never called q country
town his home has missed much. He
who had his first look upon the world
from some little village which at the
dawn of consciousness spelled all the
world to him and held In its bounds
all the people, will always lack some
thing in his n of proper adjust
ment to creation. 1t is in them that
the truest friendships are formed, the
closest studies of human nature pro-
vided, the most lasting hold given on
the eternal truths. Only as a little
child can the kingdom be entered,
and that is as true of the kingdom
of earth as of that one of which it was
first said. Go closer into the records
Of these boys off the farms and you
will find that it was from the country
towns, rather than the farms, they
came; that it was some country vii
lage that inspired the dreams, fired
the hopes and prepared for that flight
to broader fields. And they go back
laden with gifts, not to the farms, but
to the country towns to which they
feel they owe so much.-Denver Re-
publican.
