Millinery Notes.

Ostrich novelties are the Invest mum
bers on the market at present, accord
ing to the Dry Goods Economist. The
better class trade are calling for al
sorts of odd effects in ostrich, in the
way of wings, buckles, feather busters
shaving brushes, trees, fringes, etc
Two-toned effects are a leading fea
ture. especially in plumes. The sim
pier effects in ostrich fancies are
meeting with success with the popu-
1ar-price trade. One of the most nov
ell and effective trimming arrange
ments, noted recently. was that of a
huge, white plush bow fringed with
white ostrich This bow was perched
1auntily on the brim of white plush
sailor. Another striking effect was
obtained by the combination of long
ostrich f1ues with white wing trim

He SAVED THREE STATES.
Result Of stormy Meeting In Oregon Territory
In 1843.

few words of hurried conversation between
two French settlers had an Important part IN
deciding the question whether the far northwest

monument at Champoeg on the Willamette river,
now marks the spot where this interesting epi-
sode took place. Theodore T. Geer, formerly
governor of Oregon, tells about 1t in his DOCK,
Fifty Years in Oregon" and quotes from the
story of F. x. Matthew, who saved the day for
the United States says the Youths Companion.
On cloudy May day in 1S43 102 settlers and
Hudson Bay trappers coming from near ana
far crowded into log building at Champoeg, and
held stormy meeting The Americans stood for
an organized government and acquisition of the
territory by the United States. The Hudson Bay
men stood as firmly opposed, and when vote
was taken 1t hard to tell which had won.
since good many both sides were crowded
about the DOORS unable to push their way inside
A division was called for, and to make this
possible the men rushed out to the little half
acre field in front of the building There every
body began gesticulating frantically and discus
sing the situation with great excitement
"All in favor of the organization follow met"
shouted Joe Meek the famous pioneer and hunter,
striding to SIDE
The Americans followed to man A count
disclosed the fact that there were so men with
Meek and so opposed with two men, both French
men, between the opposing forces, not taking sides

The suspense lasted but few moments. Then
the two turned and took their places with

No Amusements In Zanzibar.

There would appear to be no pres.
ent market in Zanzibar for merry-go
rounds and other amusement devices.
There are no public resorts in the
American sense of the term. On the
occasion of the various Mohammedan
feasts and festivals and at other times
flimsy wheels and merry-go-rounds
are set up on the beach near Fan
zibar, and perhaps for two days these
are well filled by natives who pay
one-half cent for rather long ride.
The equipment, however, is of the
poorest character, and, while evident
ly popular, the patronage apparently
does not warrant owners In continu-
ing to run them after the day or two
of feasting is over. Furthermore,
the various tribal dances which OBJ
tain all over the district hold first
place in the hearts of the natives
and the extreme simplicity Of theirlife
and the absence Of money are further
deterrents to the introduction of up
to-date amusement devices. From

NAPOLEON at ST. Helena.

Describing the food which was
placed on his table to his physician.
Doctor Antommarchi, he said: "Phy-
sicians have the right Of regulating
the table; it is fit / should give you
an account of mine. Behold what it
consists of: A basin of soup, two
plates of meat, one of vegetables, a
salad when I can take it, compose
the whole service; half a bottle of
claret, which l dilute with good
deal of water, serves me for drink;
1 drink little of it pure toward the
end Of the repast. Sometimes, when
/ feel fatigued, substitute cham
payne for claret; it is a sure means
of giving FLIP to the stomach"
The doctor having expressed his
surprise at this temperate mode of
living, he replied: 'In my marches
with the army of Italy I never failed
to put in the bow of my saddle bot
tie of wine, some bread and cold
fowl. This provision sufficed for the
wants of the day; may even say
often shared it with others. thus
gained time; the economy of my table
turned to account on the field of battle
For the rest / eat fast, masticate lit
tie: my meals do not consume my
hours. This is not what you will
approve the most; but in my present
situation what signifies it?'

MAKING DINNER A SUCCESS
next to Cuisine, Most Important Point
Is the Proper. Seating of the
Assembled Guests.

You may have a dinner with the
best appointment and cuisine, and II
your guests are badly chosen the
dinner will be social failure.
Certain elements will not coalesce,
and the woman who tries to force the
process is counting an explosion.
Choose guests as you would shoes
because they fit.
You may be catholic In your taste
and enjoy the butterfly without a
brain and the woman who is all brain
but without social grace, the artist or
musician, the snob who distrusts all
the clever coteries the man who loves
a gay story and the woman who is
easily shocked.
But gather those friends around a
common board and you may count on
their boredom.
If you must have a mixed dinner
pray for tact in the seating. "a man
cares what he eats; woman cares
whom she sits rext."
Never seat your guests according to
social position. The practice makes
neither the dinner nor the hostess pop
ular. If you put the socially unimport-
ant together your entertaining will
never be success.
Custom has 1t that those who sit on
the right and left of the host and
hostess may feel themselves singled
out for attention-but choose for rea-
sons Do not give your guests a
chance to gibe at you as a money
worshiper or one with an axe to grind.
Do not have dinners so large as to
prevent general conversation. Not all
who go out to dinner are blessed with
manners, and the hostess should have
it in her power to go to the rescue
of the guest who is neglected by her
neighbors.

still to be discovered
Closely woven silk hose, with clocks,

but with no other embroidery, are In
the best possible taste, and are chosen

THAT THANKLESS JOB
SOMETHING. THAT SEEMS TO BE
ALWAYS WITH US.
Evidence of Its Presence to BE Noted
Wherever You May Look-Some
Comfort In Remembering
Words of Ruskin.

One IF the most constant and dis
tressing quantities in everyday life Is
the thanklSss job 1t is firmly fixed
in the established order of things that
while we often rebel, we continue to
accept. 1t seems immutably placed,
and is illustrated in every circle of
friendship or business.
The mother who sacrifices, oh, so
much, for her children and is immedi-
ately relegated to second place, If not
utterly neglected, when Tom, Dick or
Wayne decides to marry; the daugh-
ter or son who after years of faith
full, tender service in the home, is ac-
cused of ingratitude when opportun1-
ties for life of wider effort present
themselves and are accepted; the
generous hearted sister, who, having
refused to listen to her own love story
and having kept house for years for
brother Bill and brother Bills brood
of motherless BARNS, is told nonchal-
antly enc morning that he, Bill is
to be married and "the boss of that
particular ranch" hereafter will be the
new wife; the white haired clerk who
is either discharged or placed in a
position that is an insult to his years
of service, not to mention his intellect
these are but few examples of
the little thanks that loyalty COM
mands
Here's what Ruskin says on this
subject:
Generally, good, useful work,
whether of the hand or head, is either
illpaid, or not paid at all. l don't
say it should be so, but it always is
so. People, as rule, only, pay for be-
ing amused or being cheated, not for
being served. Five thousand a year
to your talker, and a shilling day
to your fighter, digger. and thinker, Is
the rule. None of the best headwork
in art, literature or science is ever
paid for. How much do you think
Homer got for his Iliad or Dante for
his Paradise? Only bitter bread and
salt, and going up and down other
peoples stairs. In science, the man
who discovered the telescope and first
saw heaven was paid with dungeon;
the man who invented the microscope
and first saw earth died of starvation,
driven from his home; 1t is indeed
very clear that God means all thor
oughly good work and talk to be done
for nothing. Bafuch. the scribe, did
not get a penny a line for writing
Jeremiah's second roll for him,
fancy; and ST. Stephen did not get
bishops pay for that long sermon of
his to the Pharisees; nothing but
stones"
True, work earnestly and Loyalty
performed brings to degree it's own
reward. The sweetness of doing
something for either ones very own
or the people out in the great, busy
world is real and heart-warming but,
even so, it doesn't satisfy any kind
of man or woman outside of the ultra
sanity and excessively humble who,
by the way, are few and far between.
Men and women of everyday life need
a tangible evidence of gratitude.

with delicate laces. An Overlapping

roses, made of silk or chiffon, are
among the most desirable decorations
for these alluring party gowns.
