Their Days Of Struggle.

Sara Allgood, versatile member Of
the Irish Players, has always dreamed
OF being a singer, and may go into
musical comedy. Speaking of the Play
ers, in New York, she said: THE en-
thusiasm of us all when this company
was first organized was really won

Aristocratic Pests.

A most interesting development in
connection with efforts to destroy the
alfalfa beetle is reported from the re.
gion Of the Mediterranean. Its de.
structive power in alfalfa fields is
enormous. So valuable has the alfalfa
become to the farmers of the country
that the appearance and ravages of the
pest are occasion of deep and wide.
spread concern.
But how did the beetles find their
way from the Mediterranean shores
to the plains Of the West? It may
be understood readily that they have
taken passage on vessels from that
part of the world to our eastern ports.
But how did they make the trip over
land?
A partial answer, at least, to these
questions is found In the results Of
investigation of the "sweepings" in
palace cars in the west The "vaccum
cleaner" is user in cleaning. these
cars. Thirty-seven of the destructive
pests were found a few days ago in
the clutches of a cleaner used in one
compartment Of a sleeping car!

Where She Would BE TAUGHT.

Women, writes Marion Harland,
should emulate the sagacity of their
spouses in selecting wisely the food
stuffs and whatever else goes to max
ing up the comfort and loneliness of
the home. Expenses should be regu
lated by the sum their husbands can
afford to hand to them for the defray-
ment of domestic expenses. But who
is to instruct the raw girl just out of
school, in the principles and details CT
applied household economics? The al
most universal fashion of sending the
daughter to boarding school at the age
OF IL or II and from boarding school
to college for four years more, vaca.
tons being passed at watering places.

Pet DOG Of Fashion,

This new color scheme by which
doggy has to match the clothes of his
mistress is bit intense. They start
ed it in Vienna, hence the couplet
when madame wears brown in Vien-
ma, Doggy is dyed burnt sienna
And now Paris and New York are
said to be enthusiastic for the craze!
Dogs may be the best friends of man.
but woman is certainly the worst ene-
my Of dogs. For one woman that real.
ly loves them there are hundreds who
just use them for a mawkish craze
and the most pitiful object in all the
world is the pet dog of fashionable
mondaine. Decked out in ribbons and
bathed in scent, fed OIL chicken and
certified cream, the poor little wretch
is the quintessential essence of igno-
miny.
Dear madam, If you must lavish
your attentions on something, do. fer
mercy's sake, select some less noble
animal to bolitue.

BOXES OF BRONZE LEATHER
7eceptacIes for spooIs, Thimble and
Needles That All Little Girls
Will Appreciate.

Extremely attractive in that partic-
ular way that girls very much like
are the tiny little bronze leather
boxes which are made to hold spools
Of thread, thimble and needles. These
are meant for little mending kits to
put in ones bag when one is visiting
for few days. The boxes are very
small, some of them containing only
black silk and white thread, while 9TH
ers have a row Of four or five spoOls.
They have lids Of the leather, and the
edges of the box are bound with mar
row satin ribbon or with silk or silk
braid. The boxes are long and mar
row and the lids are hinged to them
by the ribbon binding. which is sewed
together at the end
Some of the boxes are the same
width through the length. and others
are tapered at one end. The boxes
which are meant for more than one
spool are usually the same width
throughout. The width is just enough
to admit a spool being put in side
ways. When only one spool Is to be
put in the box it goes in lengthwise.

Tho EnoIiShman.

An English actor was travelling with
an American company and won his
way into the heart of every member
by his kindly courtesy and quiet con.
sideration. One of the ladies', wishing
to find out II a sense of humor was
also one Of his qualities, propounded
to him the following conundrum:
(Which dies the harder, q sculptor
or barber?"
The Englishman gave it up, and she
replied:
"A sculptor. because the barber
curls up and dies. but the sculptor
makes faces and busts"
The Englishman laughed, not bois-
terously, but that she attributed to his
well-bred reserve, and decided in his
favor. Later in the evening he came
to her and said:
Miss F., would you mind II told
you something's"
NO." she answered.
Il wouldn't hurt your feelings" he
went on in his delicate way, you
American ladies are so charmaing; but
you do make some peculiar grammati-
cal errors. That conundrum, now
You know, it isn't busts, it's bursts"

HIGHEST TYPES IN DEMAND
Modern Locomotives Cost Twice 40
Much a. Did Those Of Twenty or
Twenty-Five Years AGO.

President Alba B. johnson, presi.
dent Of the Baldwin Locomotive
works of Philadelphia, one OF the
largest in the world, says:
Twenty to rs years ago the stand.
ard fast passenger locomotive OF the
Pennsylvania railroad was a locomo.
tive of the eight-wheeled or American
type, having two pairs of driving
wheels Of about GO inches diameter
and weighing in working order not
more than go tons. The cost OF such
locomotive was approximately from
$4,000 to $4,000.
Both the New York Central and
the Pennsylvania railroad are now
using for their heavy fast passenger
service the Pacific type Of locomotive.
weighing in working order about 135
tons. These locomotives have three
pairs Of driving wheels of about ~
inches diameter, and a trailing truck,
in addition to the usual four-wheeled
leading truck. The approximate val
ue Of such locomotives is $25, 900 each.
The rate per pound Of engine and
tender in working order would not be
higher now than Is years ago."

Satin Lining for Gowns.
Satin is q more effective background
or lining than any other material for
the evening gown, and as material
for the entire gown there is nothing
more satisfactory as an investment.
In black, white, or colors, the satin
evening gown always looks we'll, and a
good figure shows to such good ad-
vantage whether fashion DEGREES that
there shall be folds or plaits or drap-
ing. Satin crepe de chine is extreme
~ fashionable now for evening gowns,
and is also satisfactory material, al.
though it lacks the richness and depth
of the former. Plain and brocaded
designs are both popular, and the new
brocade crepe de chine is an extreme
ly smart fabric in the most fascinating
of colors, one shade of blue being es-
pecially noticeable. It has an unusual
pattern throughout, and it is made up
with white lace, crepe de chine in the
train, and waist, and the front of the
skirt in the lace. "a.

tattoEs of the best styles imported
for women.
Our sketch presents a new version
Of the old Russian dress, the skirt
and bodice here being shirred togeth
er over cords. The dress, which ia
Of white ratine. fastens at the left
with five white pearl buttons; the
collar and cuffs are of white and
black striped silk. and the guimpe is
of fine embroidery lawn.
This cut is very useful for the
smaller girls, those between six and
eight, who have not yet become en-.
tirely used to dressing themselves.
The front fastening make it easy to
put on and take off, and so If the it,
tie guimpe were made to fasten down
the front as we'll the child's indie
pendence would be complete. Many
school frocks of cheap serge or
flannel or fancy wool are made in
this manner with contrasting collars
and cuffs Of wool. A gay plaid worsted
frequently decks little dress OF
plain blue or brown serge, while e
gown of velvet or velveteen in the
same cut will have the collar anc
cuffs of a rich lace or else Of cloth
and ratine.
Concerning the home making OF
these little frOcks, or any others OF
smart sort, pray let me say a further
word in praise of the French makers.
They are most careful about match
ing trimmings to materials. they are
original and dainty In details, and
however rich the textures, has an
infantile quality. Patterns are small
and trimmings put on the bebe or
small way. Every garment for chill.
dren is exquisitely finished, too. in.
side as out, especially coats and
frocks for high dress. Some beautiful
little costumes seen recently were
finished at the inside of the bodice
fastening and at the hem turn OF the
skirts with a narrow, fiat putting OF
silk matching the gown color. The
same putting will be used to delight
full advantage all round the inside
edge Of a fine coat, and there it
sometimes contrasts with the lining.
A capacity for infinite pains is the
real secret of French taste in dress,
anc nowhere is this dainty patience
more rewarding than in children's
garments.

10 Specimen Of ertdse Which
Was Found In . Phoenician
Tomb ut Sidon.

Dentistry, though considered Pc
;uliarly modern, has been found high
ly developed in the past. Actual speci-
mems Of ancient dentistry may be
seen in various European museums.
The most interesting of these spect-
mems. because the Oldest. is Phoeni-
clan example of hridge-work found in
tomb at Sidon. The specimen IL
cow in the Louvre at Paris, and con-
sists Of part of the upper jaw OF
a woman with the teeth united by
gold wire. Two of them are trans
planted teeth fastened in by gold wire.
In the museum Of Corneto (Which was
the ancient Tarquinii. the capital Of
the Etruscan federation) may be seen
number of marvellous specimens OF
dental work of the sixth and seventh
centuries before Christ. They consist
mainly Of bridge-work done by riveted
bands of metal. One of them support
ed three artificial teeth. two Of these
artificial teeth being made out Of a
single OK tooth grooved to initiate
rather closely two human teeth. In
the laws of the Twelve Tables, writ
ten in Rome $50 b. c., while it is ex-
pressly forbidden to bury gold ornar
ments with bodies, a special excep-
ton is made for gold with which the
teeth may perchance be bound to-
gether. The museum of Pope Julius
at Rome contains gold cap made Of
two small plates Of gold stamped out
to represent rather closely middle
lower incisor and these two pieces
soldered together to form the crown
Of tooth.
The satiric poets Of Rome, especial
ly Martial, referred frequently to arti-
fetal teeth. Martial speaks of an old
woman who was so scared that as
she ran away her teeth fell out. In one
epigram he answers the question why
one woman's teeth are dark, while an
others are white, though both are of
the same age, by saying that one of
| them buys her teeth, while the other
has her own. The Romans had a
number of different kinds of denti-
frices. and took great care of their
teeth. Galen describes form of pas
tile containing aromatlcs and opium
| that might be used as toothache
gum. The filling Of teeth with various
kinds OF metal is described by CELSIUS,
though the first sure reference to gold
filling does not occur until about the
! middle OF the fifteenth century. The
transportation Of teeth, especially
from the mouths Of slaves into those
of their mtstresses, seems to have
been practiced rather commonly in the
early days Of the Roman empire
