Tabooed Thirteen.

One of the department stores has something like thirty elevators. If you have any doubt that New York is su- perstitious, go take look at the north side of this great shop, where the first group of elevators is ranged. The numbers go from l to 12 without a break. Then comes the jolt, for that next number is something which must be got over with tact and delicacy. The manager has solved the difn culty by making it 13O, which is decorously followed by IA, just as if nothing had happened.
 ''Nobody'd ride in it if it bore it's own true number" said he, with a grin. We tried it. The women would give a look up at the sign over the door and then sidestep to the next car. But you never can find a person who will admit he has a superstition. |"

Before Ironing PIaIts.

Many sheer dresses of this season have inset panels of plaited goods, plaited at the top and stitched yoke depth, with the lower half falling in straight, unstitched plaits. This looks very pretty and dressy, but those plaits will be very difficult to iron un- less they are first pasted in at the hem and caught down at intervals all the way up the plait before the dress is laundered. Unless you do this the plaits will be stretched out of all sem blance to their original shape and will never be ironed the same way twice. After being ironed, and when perfect Iy dry, pull the hastings out carefully. Collars and cuffs, or anything else that is plaited and to be laundered. should be treated in the same way.

A Good Hint.

In an emergency, where one has to evolve a fancy" costume with little time and apparently less material, something very lovely can be made of several of the beautiful evening scarfs. either the spangled ones or plain ones. Nearly every woman will possess a scarf of one kind or another and these can be borrowed. as no damage need be done to them. Over white dress hang two or more of the silver span gled ones, so that they fall from the shoulders down as far as possible on either side. Then wind others about the hips and around the head. cross ing a piece over the forehead and an other over the chin and lower part of the face. The eastern effect is grace full and usually very becoming.

DEVIL BIRD HAS AWFUL CRY
Natives of ceyIon Are Not to Be Blamed for Being Terrified
 by It's Scream.

Of all the awe-inspiring sounds emitted by wild creatures. none. 1t is said. is to be compared to that of the devil bird" of Ceylon. whose cry has been likened to the scream of a human being undergoing the most frightful torture Naturalists have identified this bird with the brown wood-owl found in Hindustan-
 The natives of Ceylon regard the cry of this bird with superstitious hor, TOT. for. it is claimed. it's scream heard at night presages the most dire misfortunes
 British oficial of the Ceylou civil service has given some study to this curious bird Its ordinary note. be states. is magnificent clear shout like that of human being heard at a great distance, and producing fine effect in the silence of the night
 But the sounds that have. earned for the bird its bad name. and which this officer reports he heard to perfec- ton but once. are said to be weIl-nigh indescribable. the most appalling that can be imagined. and scarcely to be heard without a shudder. It has been compared to the cries of boy in tor ture. whose screams are being stop ped by strangulation.-Scie American

Witnesses.

Whenever the Rev. Solon Jefferson called on Aunt Candace 1t was her custom to set a plate of gingerbread before him and then ply him with what she called "'ligious 'spoundin's |"
 'Wha' fo' does de Lawd send cpl denies onto de land?" she asked him one day.
 ''When folks gets so bad dey must be removed, some of 'em, Sist' Can dace, den de Lawd permits de coming ob an epidemic" said Mir. Jefferson, and took a large bite of gingerbread.
 "Uh-hi" said Aunt Candace. Eff dat's so. how come de good people gets removed along wid de bad ones?
 De good ones are summonsed fo' witnesses" said the Reverend Solon, fortified in spirit and clarified in mind by the gingerbread. although slightly embarrassed in his utterance. De Lawd gibs ebery man a fair trial"- Youths Companion.

New Heat unIt

The use of gas for heating as well as lighting has made obsolete the old unit, the candle-power. owing to the fact that this unit rates merely the brihtness of the flames. not the heat ing power. according to a writer in America.
 Deville and more recent expert mentors discovered a remarkable pro portion between the light and heat of a mantle. and using this. makers are rating burners according to the units of heat given to them per unit of time in standard calorics. Gas of 5,200 calorics efficiency a cubic meter has been recommended as the stand ard
 The latest designs of burners :or heat and lighting require that the gas have a fairly constant consumption. since the maximum efficiency of the burned 1t attained only when the rel ative quantities of air and gas are closely regulated. Water gas may be added to prevent excessive variation in caloric value.

seandaI to German cuIture.


 One of those fugitive little cable grams which constantly poke their noses over to this side of the Allan tic, seking an appreciative reader, re- ports the scandalous discovery that the students of the University of Gottingen have forsaken the Rhine and Moselle wines of their fathers and are displaying an infatuation for imported California wines. Their al- legiance to German-brewed beer con tinues, apparently unaffected. but in their choice of wines they are stray. ing after strange vineyards, and there is quite an ado about it. It was but a modest little squib and requires, per haps, for it's appreciation a nvelier sense of German patriotism, not to say chauvinism, than we officially pos sess. But one thing added to another set us to wondering whether this great old institution-and 1t is a great old institution, no mistake about thati-hadn't for the last hundred years or more fallen into much the same sort of predicament that our own University of Chicago has been fin. It hasn't been the butt of para graphers. for the Lord never made any German paragraphers, but 1t has. somehow, fallen foul of the writing folks" in a curious way.

NEW TRICK IN MILLINERY
Long Strings of Black Velvet Are Seen on Little 5onnets
 This Season.

"Straws show which way the wind blows" So. also, do the little bonnets of tulle, coquettishly set upon the waved and pufred coiffure and engar- landed with myosotis. and the large tagals lined with felt, that have quite taken the place of almost all other forms of headgear during the last few weeks
 Eve 5ne of them have long strings of black velvet which are tied at the side and at the back and have thin long ends floating. or caught with a jeweled pin high over the bust and on the left side
 The sleeve" string Is simply a very long loop of broad velvet ribbon, through which the arm is slipped. It hangs loosely on the left side under the arm
 This new trick in millinery is caus- Ing not a little comment regarding its probable popularity, but withal seems to be finding favor in the eyes of the truly great dictators of styles.

TIMELY TIP ON LINGERIE
Among Prettlest Corset Covers Are Those That Fit Into PepIum
 at Waist.

The busy "bacheIor maid" who has no one to look after the little details of her wardrobe. but must attend to them in the bits and edges of time after business hours when she would be glad to stretch out and relax in place of fussing with tapes and rib hons. continues to buy or make her corset covers and combination" i with headings or castings at waist and neck edges, in which ribbons must be run if they are to be worn with any comfort
 Yet among the prettiest corset GOV CTS of the present day are those that flt into a peplum at the waist line. a narrow insertion or tiny band of fold ed lawn covering the join and render ing a draw tape" superfuous. and those that have the fullness at the upper edge gathered daintily, to ft. once and for all, under a similar fin ishing band to which the lace or em- broidery around the neck is joined
 Reference is not made to the close fitting corset cover, which reminds one of a fitted lining. These peplum corset covers have a slight fullness at the waist line, gathered into the band, and almost as much at the upper edges, before finishing. as if the bead ing were to be used. with baby ribbon to draw 1t close. And they yield noth- ing to the other style. either in pretti- ness of appearance or perfection of finish. Moreover. they quite elimi- nate all unnecessary 'bunching" at the waist line, which advantage, con- sidering the present styles, Is recon mending them more and more to those who know"

TO KEEP sAUsAGEs FRESH
They Should Be Cooked, Put in Jars and Covered With Hot Drip
 ping or Lard.

To insure the keeping of sausages made in quantity for use through the summer months, it is usual to resort to smoking them in the manner of hams and bacon. In lieu of this meth cd, however, cook them in any desir- able way until nearly done, i'll them Into glass jars, wide-mouthed stone jars or tin lard pails, packing them quite closely, then cover them with hot dripping, lard, or any good grease, filling all interstices, and leav- Ing at least an inch of clear dripping to cover the top.
