HINTS BY MAY MANTON
A SMART GOWN OF DOTTED LINEN

Such a gown as this can be made
from linen. serge. mohair. taffeta. or
from any material that is adapted to
a tailored finish. The lines are ex-
ceedingly smart, yet not over severe.
The skirt gives Just width enough
for the very latest style, and the
trimming can be arranged over the
seams as in this instance, or they can
be left plain as material and require
ments render desirable. In the il
mstration dotted linen is trimmed
with bands of embroidery and made
with chemisette OF. heavy lace and
there are no under sleeves, but there
are a number of ways in which the
gown can be finished. If the round
neck is liked. the collar can be omit
ted. If the under sleeves are wanted.
close fitting ones can be used that ex-
tend TO the wrists or for three-quar-
ter length, as liked. The box plaits
at the front and back of the skirt
can be stitched TO any depth that
may be liked, with the edges joined
below and this latter treatment
means even greater freedom for walk
ing One of the new striped taffetas
would be charming with all the seams
corded and a little ruching on the
skirt drawn up by means of cords.
Natural colored pongee would be
handsome with the neck edge, arm
holes and cuffs corded with green.
Linen or pique can be finished just in
the same manner or with the plain
stitched edges, as liked, or the edges
could be piped with a contrasting
color and be pretty. The skirt IS
six gored and the blouse is made with
front and back portions that are lap

BulIdouoina a Steer.

Perhaps there Is no contest that is a greater tax on human endurance than that demanded by "bulldogging" a steer, and the "bulldogger' must go 1t alone. The pony Is as great a factor as the man, for when once the lasso rests over the horns of the range ami nal all depends on the rapid way in which the mustang wheels so that the trailing rope will trip the steer. When the steer is on the ground the plucky pony must keep the rope taut. The range rider leaps off and with length of rope ties the steers four feet togeth- CT. Rime is then called, Unless he has completed all these operations from the word go in less than three minutes he is not deemed fit to enter the finals. As a matter of fact, one contestant cut the time to 29 seconds, a worlds record Sunset Magazine.

Hats Worn at Table.

Seventeenth century etiquette pre- scribed that hats should be worn at table. "The Rules of Civility, or Ger tain Ways of Department" published in 1873, gives some directions on this point. Under the supposition that "a person of quality detains you to dine with him" it is laid down that when the person invited is seated he must keep himself uncovered till the rest sit down and the person of quality has put on his hat % If the person of honor drinks health to you, you must be sure to be uncovered. If he speaks to you, you must likewise be uncov- cred till you have answered him. If one rises from the table before the rest he must pull off his hat"
 A trace of this etiquette fingers in the house of commons, where a mem- Der is always allowed to wear his hat only when seated.-London Graphic.

A Eorootten Monument,

A Washington monument that was never erected occupied the attention of the citizens of New York in 1S47. It was to tower far above any other structure that 1t might be seen many miles out at sea. Several thousand dollars were actually raised and the cornerstone was laid with ceremony in Hamilton square. which covered the blocks now contained between Third and Fifth avenues. SixsS-sixth anl Sixty-ninth streets. This was before Central park had been outlined. Ham ilton square was a portion of the old common lands of the city. It is not known what became of the Washing ton monument cornerstone. The mon ument association gradually ceased to exist. The $1,OOO,0OO monument was forgotten, and when the ground once known as Hamilton square was cut up and the streets run through no record remains as to what was done with the cornerstone and its leaden box filled with memorials of the city in 1S47.- Exchange.

Jamaica's Booby Eggs.

Trade in booby eggs is one of the sights of Kingston, Jamaica. Long ago the British seamen gave the name "booby" to several of the species of gannets, because these fowls are re garded as stupid. The eggs ate gath cred in vast quantities on the islets at certain seasons of the year and taken to Port Antonio by the boattoad. The arrival of a boat with booby eggs is the occasion of no little excitement among the negro women, who buy them by the box and then sell them by retail chiefly in Kingston. though they are also sold in other towns on the is- land. Though sold mostly by the dOz- en to housekeepers, booby eggs are also peddled, hard boiled, on the streets of Kingston, salt and pepper being pro- vided that the purchasers may eat the eggs at once. These eggs are about two-thirds the size of an ordinary hens egg and arc quite palatable.

London as a Frsnehman Sees It.

The little French boy has every Op- portunity of getting an engaging idea of London. In a recent volume of French and general geography, which has run into several editions, the com piler gives an English reading from the works of M. Enault, whoever he may be. And the little French boy is told concerning the. London of this cen tury that there are in the best parts of our unhappy city whole streets formed of dens dug out of the soil, which itself was only mass of rub bish" And again, "A little further on bands of half starved men without fire or shelter take refuge in gypsy vans, which vans are buried up to the axle trees in mud" People also sleep in wheelless cabs, for which they pay a rent of 121A cents a week. We Lon doners should not have known any thing about this if M. Enault had not told us.-London Chronicle.

Johnson Wao a Miahtx Eater.

Many men Of great intellectual pow CT have been large eaters. Luther. Goethe and Walter Scott were mighty trenchermen. Charles V. shortened his life by gluttony. It is recorded by Boswell that on a certain night at sup per pr. Johnson discoursed of good eating with uncommon satisfaction. We know from the same authority how studiously the sage minded bis stomach. "When at table" says Bos- well, he was totally absorbed in the business of the moment. His eyes seemed riveted to his plate, nor would he, unless when In very high company. say one word or even pay the least at tention to what was said by others till he had satisfied his appetite, which was so fierce and indulged with such intenseness that while in the act of eating the veins of his forehead swell ed and gradually a strong precipitation was visible"
 The squeamish person who reads these unpleasant details must remem- Der that Johnson had in his days of ob scurity known by experience what fast ing was, and once, in writing to pub fisher, had added '1mpransus" to his name. The voracity then acquired re- mained with him when his dinner was no longer a daily problem.

Thouoht Concentration.

Professor Elmer Gates performs a very interesting experiment by i'm mersing his hands and arms to the elbows in separate vessels filled with water just to the point of overfowing. By withdrawing his thought absolute ly from one hand and concentrating 1t on the other he so expands the blood vessels in the latter by sending an ex- tra supply of blood to it that the wa ter in the vessel in which it is over flows quite perceptibly. To further prove this power of thought concentra- tion he transfers the thought from one hand to the other without chang ing their positions until the other yes sel overflows.
 Professor Bell, inventor of the tele- phone, said that when driving in the provinces in extremely cold weather, when he was in great danger of having his feet frozen, he was able to send an extra supply of blood to them by concentrating his mind upon them and thus saved himself from very pain full experience.-Nautilus

Ate Nails and Pins.

Cases of the presence of foreign bodies in the stomach are not at all rare, but 1t is seldom that such case as that recorded by pr. A. H. Wander vit and Dr. Fl. F. Mills Is reported, says the London Lancet. A mulatto woman, aged thirty three years. was admitted into an asylum for acute mania ending in dementia, and she died seven years later, but she had never had any signs of disease of the digestive system. She was often seen to pick up nails and pins, but was never seen to swallow any. At the necropsy the stomach stretched down to the left lilac fossa In the form of a long pouch, in which lay a mass of foreign bodies, weighing five pounds, and consisting of more than 1,4OO nails, screws, thimbles and other Ob- jects. Some other foreign bodies had made their way through the wall of the stomach and had caused the for mation of aGbesions.

Carlyle and Indiqestion.

Carlyle suffered from what he called biliousness during the greater part of his life, but Sir Richard Quain, one of his physicians, has left it on record that this was largely due to overin- dulgence in gingerbread. Apparently Carlyle considered indigestion an es- sentiaI part in the makeup of a reform CT, for in his critical examination of alleged portraits of John Knox he re- jects one expressly on the ground that the individual represented was too ob. viously "eupeptic."

Orders of Eaules.

The eagle is. of course, a favorite decoration in several countries. The premier order of Prussia is the Black Eagle, which not only confers heredi- tary nobility on the recipent, but, strange to say, the Grand Cross of the Red Eagle Order also. Hereditary no bility is also conferred by the White Eagle of Russia, once the premier Pol ish order, but now third on the Rus sian roll. Servia also boasts a White Eagle order. created by Milan I, in 1882 to commemorate the proclaiming of the Servian kingdom. Two Eagle orders have now disappeared. The Golden Eagle of Wurttemberg was in 1918 merged in the Order of the Crown, and the Order of the Mexican Eagle, founded by the Ill fated Emperor Maxi milan in 1865. lapsed at his tragic death.-Manchester Guardian.

A Remarkable Grotto.

Fingals cave is one of the most re- markable natural grottoes in Europe It is situated on the island of Staffa, about seven miles off the west coast of Null, Scotland. The cavern Is 227 feet deep, 42 feet wide at the entrance and 62 feet high at the opening at time of low tide. Tide has a great deal to do with the size and dimensions of Fingal's cave, because it Is eminently a sea grotto. The oceans waters are always the floor of the cavern. At time of very lowest tide there is twenty feet of water in the cave. It can be readily entered by means of small boats at all times except at the hour of extreme high tide. In Europe FingaPs cave is considered the greatest British won der

Why a Cats Eyes Glow In sh. Dark.

The eyes of cat shine In the dark not because they produce light, for they do not, but because they reflect all the light that may reach them. If the cat be in a totally dark room you cannot see it's eyes. It is only when there is at least a glimmer of light that these glow. The animal must be looking almost directly at you. What ever light there be must come from about behind or above you. The cats eye Is powerful lens with a reflector behind 1t. This gathers the rays and concentrates them in a horizontal beam. It is possible that these shin Ing eyes exercise a sort of hypnotic fascination for mice and rats. It may also be that the ray they cast, slender and faint though it be, serves to light up their prey sufficiently for their keen eyes to see it.-New York World.

Reuninu the Question.

The phrase begging the question" or in Latin "petiio principii," signifies the treating of proposition as a fully demonstrated fact when it is actually only a premise or statement brought forward and not yet proved. In other words. to beg the question is to as- sumo something to be true, in order to eva-a the task of bringing forward the necessary argument to show it's truth. Uncle Remus' Magazine.
