STRIKING A LIGHT

The world was thousands OF years

Sometimes the uncivilized people rub
two dry pieces of wood together until
one catches fire. often they use two
stones striking one against the other
Until a spark falls amid some ory
leaves and starts small blaze,
The Australian bushman uses
method Of his own to procure hght.
First he selects two pieces OF llght
wood each about foot long from the
cork tree or black fig tree. One a
nat piece he lays on the ground
amidst a pile Of dry leaves, Upon this
strip of wood he kneels in order to
hold down the ends. Then he rolls
the other pointed stick between the
palms Of his hands go that it bores q
hole into the fat strip Of wood. This
make fine wood dust, which catches
on fire, sending its spark among the
dry leaves. BY blowing upon the tiny
Hight the bushman soon has a IRE
which he feeds with more leaves.
The Malay sailors follow much the
same plan as the bushmen. They use
q piece of split bamboo, making a
notch across its hollow side. Saving
into this notch slowly, then rapidly
with sharp edged piece Of bamboo,
wood dust is soon made. This catches
fire and falls upon the dry leaves
which the wise sailor has placed to
catch the sparks. In the forests OF
South America the natives often

Midshipman Smith, who was strick'
en- with typhoid fever on the Indiana
at Plymouth, England, contracted the
disease, ii is said, from smoking a
briar used nearly a year ago by his
roommate at Annapolis who had a bad
case Of typhoid, This theory is taken
as proof that concentrated nicotine
cannot destroy typhoid germ. The
medical department OF the navy will
examine into the theory with the re-
suit that midshipmen OF the future
may confine themselves to their own
pipes.

Why He Was Sorry.

To impress ON young children Just
what should and what should not be
done and why, is among the most try

by the recent experience Of a West

carry a chair for her from the dining
room to the parlor, lie started off

FASHION AND FADS
BY Mrs. Maud E. cillsy.

Dog collars, whether a simple
band Of velvet fastened with a more
or less elaborate buckle or made up
of stands of pearls, coral, or jet, are
exceedingly smart
The selvege, not only of wool, plays
a conspicuous role in dress-making.
Some of the new materials have wide
ribbon edges of the same or contrast
ing color.
A piece of old Chantilly lace which
is too much broken for ordinary use
can have the figures cut out and ap-
pliqued on a chiffon gown, thus max
ing it very elaborate.
A simple finish for a black gown
may be nothing more than narrow
band Of coral color attached to the
low round neck with a fagotting
stitch. Similar bands trim the
sleeves.
There are two kinds of hatpins Of
fered to those who care much about
the very new things in style. One
is made of ivory. the other of Irish
lace flowers. The former is expensive,
the latter is not.
Handbags, and purses, too, are
made of linen to match the suit with
which they are carried. Generally,
though not always, they are braided
embroidered or embellished with
other handwork.
Very pretty afternoon gowns are
made of the sheer batiste. which
comes in the most fascinating shades
this year. This material, too. is used
for princess slips, worn under the
white lingerie gown.
One of the features of the present
season is the little tunic of voile,
marquisette or chiffon cloth made for
wear over the gown of foulard Of taf-
feta, and above all, over the frock
of lingerie persuasion.
Silk flowers, made so exactly that it
is difficult to tell them from the orr
ginal models; are used for fastenings
at the neck in place Of the conven-
tional pin. These are especially mod
ish with the collarless afternoon
gown.
One Of the newest ideas I'm trimming
is the use of overlapping buttons to
/ finish skirts and coats. The buttons
are put on one above the other so
that their rims overlap each other
/ and make a continuous line.
The brass nettings for the top Of
/ bowls, originally caiied panSy DoWlS'
are to be had in sizes TO fit almost
any receptacle for flowers, fancy
brass holders are found in the shops,
too. for vases of white or green
/ glass.
The peach basket hat is still with
us: the mob cap Is dominant; the
sweeping cavalier Is seen every
where: the bell-shaped morning hat is
in evidence, and the modified Direc-
toire bonnet is considered among the
best choices.
Ribbons on every variety, seeming
Z ", are called upon to contribute to
! the seasons fashions Especially
popular are the warp prints for
eirdles and ssshes at the present
time and there is still a later trend
in the use of plain and velvet ribbons
for the same purpose.
