Hairpins are proverbially used by
women for almost numberless pur-
poses, and man himself has learned
that they are not to be despised in
an emergency. A blown-out-fuse re-
Gently stalled an electric train in the
New York City subway, and the fol-
lowing trains were blocked until a
multitude of people were being seri-
Ously delayed. No new fuse was
available, but the motor-man secured
hairpin from an accommoda ting
woman passenger and converted it
into wire, which remedied the trou-
BILE; and thousands of grateful men
and women completed their journey
on the strength of that little hairpin.

AN IMPROVED DUST-PAN.

The handle came off of Mothers
dust-pan, but I made the pan better
than new by mailing lath upright
to the middle of the back of the pan,
so that one end of the lath rests on
the floor. Mother says that this
saves her so much STOPPING that she
never wants any other kind.-St.

FASHION NOTES

Summer bargains are being shown
in their most alluring and enticing
manner. This late in the season we
see beautiful thin goods far cheaper
than in early summer, and it is a
temptation to buy the things we real
ly have no use for. To shop at this
season takes a person with good
idea of just what they want and not
be persuaded to buy something of
little use, just because tits cheap.
Parasols of all descriptions are to
be had-Persian ones fringed, with
edges cut in queer points, changeable
taffetas, trimmed with quillings of
ribbon, and flounced ones of taffeta,
also the various embroidered de-
signs.
Lovely nantes are made of taf-
feta, satin and very soft MORE in
beautiful tones.
Very dainty are the coat collars
Of linen with the buttonholed, seal
loped edge. The collars, with insets
of baby Irish, are especially attrac-
tive.
The. Scotch plaid ginghams were
never more attractive than this year.
For children's frocks and for gowns
for the girl in her teens they are un-
surpassed.
Very attractive indeed are the
coats Of wooden poplin. While white
is the favorite color, the material
may be obtained in a wide range of
colors.
The mesh for summer veilings has
grown so large, SO open, so cob
webby in design that it has had to
begin all over again. So filmy are
wells that they will not hold togeth-
err. The wide figures are now
stretched on an invisibly fine net ba-
sis. These wide mesh figures are en-
tirely replacing the heavy lace de-
signs in wells.
The introduction of an odd bit of
material upon very usual dress is

Russia and China are the only
great powers which forbid the free
passage of residents from one part of
the empire to another. In China
foreigners are allowed to live and do
business in specified districts and
cities only. In Russia Jews may live
in fifteen only of the western prov
inces. Some exceptions are made in
favor Of certain classes of business
men, but even they may travel about
the empire as a matter of favor and
not Of right. Within the pale there
are several cities, including Kief, in
which Jews are not allowed to re-
side. Notwithstanding the prohibit
tons, many Jews took up their resi-
dence in Kief, attracted by the op-
portunities in a town the population
of which has grown from fifty thou
sand in 1850 to three hundred and
nineteen thousand in 1902. The
government has recently been en-
gagged in eXpelling them from the
city, and seems disposed to increase
rather than lessen the disabilities of
the Jewish citizens. The PROPOSE
ton before the Duma to remove all
restrictions on their movements is so
strongly opposed that there is no
immediate prospect of it's passage.
