WAISTC0ATS IN DEMAND.
Those Of Pique Are Especially Suit
able For Hot Weather Wear.

WaistcOats in every form are in great
demand. They are Il most convenient
accessory because they can be bought
separately and then made Il compos-
lite part of any costume.
One that is especially suitable to
al with Il dark blue or other dark
suit is made of white corded silk,
edged with ribbon about an inch and
Il half wide, decorated with diagonal
stripping in red, blue, green, yellow and
black.
The waistcoat girdle. too, gives sat-
fsfactiOn when it is chosen carefully.
One Of golden yellow corded silk. with
two small pockets. sells for So and
would do admirably with any dark
suit.
Waistcoats of pique suggest warm
weather. In really warm weather they
are far more suitable with the serge
o. gabardine suit than nonwashable
silk w~aistcoatS. These pique waist
coats are heavily embroidered and have
little pockets with embroidered flaps.
They button with white crochet but

HATS O FALL.
Velvets and Pushes Are Likely to Be
Favored Materials For Millinery.


Vatican and bandeau effects had
their inning during the past season,
and, while there is Il suggestion Of the
bandeau in Il few of the new fall
shapes, it is more than likely that 9th
err ideas will be furnished us later on,
says the Millinery Trade Review. OF
materials. velvets and pushes, both OF
the short and long nap variety. are
being shown favor and are used in
combination with silk materials. of
which satin in heavy quality and of
high luster gives good promise, espe-
cially for early use.
There is some discussion as to the
$ of fine body felts which may be
blocked into shapes Of the prevailing
fashion. This idea was exploited in
Paris last fall. but met with little sue
cess on this side. 1t has been many
seasons past since hats of this charac-
ter have been worn Developments
along these lines are being closely
watched.
Plush in imitation Of fine furs is q
feature Of fall fabrics. being especially
adaptable for trimmings as We'll as for
the hat itself. These new plush fab.
RIGS also come in shaded effects as well
as plaids and Roman stripes.

STOMACH OF A CAMEL.
Four Compartments Enable Beast to Go
Without Water For Days.

The stomach Of a camel Is divided
into four compartments, and the walls
of these are lined with large cells,
every one Of which can be opened and
closed ut will by means Of powerful
muscles. explains Il writer in the Pres
byterian. When Il camel drinks it
drinks Il great deal. Indeed. it drinks
for such Il long time that you really
would think it eve meant to leave
off. The fact is that it is not satisfying
its thirst. but is filling up its ciStern as
well. One after another the cells in its
stomach are filled with the water. and
as 500 as each is quite full it is tightly
closed Then when. Il few hours later.
the animal becomes thirsty all that it
has to do is to open one of the cells and
allow the waite to flow out. Next day
it opens one ~ two more cells. and so
it goes on day after day until the
whole supply is exhausted. In this
curious way Il came can live five or
even six days without drinking at all
and so is able to travel quite easily
through the desert. where the wells ar"
often hundreds of miles apart.

APRONS FROM TOWELING.
Usually Made With a Bib and Can Be
Used In All Household Work.

The newest idea for an apron is one
made Of toweling. The kind that can
be purchased by the yard, with stripes
or wide stripes at each side. is used.
The blue barred toweling also can be
turned into attractive aprons.
These toweling aprons are usually
made with a bib and IAN be used for
sewing, homework Or chatting dish
aprons. OF course they have one or
two large pockets, a necessary ad-
junct to all serviceable aprons.
The edge is sometimes fringed, which
makes a very good finish. or it is sim
ply hemmed. using the French method,
which makes the stitches invisible.
The use of Turkish toweling made
into aprons has been discovered by
young mothers. as it is just the thing
to wear when giving baby his bath.

Religious Work ;
Friends' Training School.

Friends training School,.
No religious body is more alert to
the changing times than the Society Of
Friends, especially that branch CON-
monty called Hicksites. 1t has faced
a declining membership with courage
and resourcefulness and with singular
independence and adapted itself to the
new order Of life by new methods.

ton Of a training school for workers
IN the society. 1t is principally desig.
hated as a school for religious and 50.
cial study. 1t is patterned on the lines
OF the famous Friends school at Wood
brooke, England. to which members Of
the society from all over the world
have made pilgrimages.

be opened on Oct. /.
All the seven yearly meetings of the
H1cks1te Friends are supporting the
enterprise.
III committee for the advancement
of Friends principles, which works I'M
der the general conference of seven
yearly meetings. is Immediately respon-
sible for the new school. The special
committee Is made up Of representa-.
tives Of all the yearly meetings. Bar.
clay Spicer. the editor Of the Friends
l~ntelligencer. is the chairman Of the
committee and Henry Wilbur is the
secretary.
The name Of the new school has not
been finally determined. but it will
probably be the John Woolman hall.
The privileges Of the new institution
will not be confined to the membership
Of the denomination which maintains
it. but Orthodox Friends and members
of other churches will be invited. There
will be little or no doctrinal teachings.
The purpose is to stress the factors
and forces which unite Christians rath-
err than those which divide.
That educational and mission work
goes forward in Mexico despite the
troubled conditions is stated by cable
from Il native pastor in the federal cap
ital to DR.. John w. Butler of the Meth
Odist board Of foreign missions. "Serv-
ices are held as usual at Guanajuato,
Puebla and Mexico City, with an at
tendance even above the average. Most
Of the schools in these cities are also
maintained as formerly" There are
Approximately fifty native workers in
the centers named and about a dozen
schools with a combined enrolment of
1850 pupils.

They Arc Characteristic Of Both New
Skirts and TUNES.
The Dry Goods Economist says that
the long tunic dominates the smart
street dresses, but many TERED skirts,
graduated %tiOunces, long apron draper
les and rutiie trimmed skirts are being
taken. Bordered effects are suggested
by the use Of wide bands Of fancy cot
ton fabrics on tunics or flounces Of
Grape and of wolfe.
Many plated skirts. as we'll as long
plated tunics. are especially we'll liked
by buyers catering to the better class
of trade. Not only are the accordion
plaits used. but also the side plaits.
the small box plaits. also groups of
plaits. In most instances. however,
tapes or elastic bands are tackled to
the plaits underneath the skirt. so that
the straight line of the silhouette is re-

Many Of these plated dresses for

CASE OF THE MARIE CELESTE
Its Highly Insured Valuable Cargo
Turned Out to Be Junk.


There are few people who have not
heard OF the case Of the American brig
Marie Celeste, which in 1872 was mex
plicably abandoned in calm weather of
the Azores by Il crew never after heard
from. Few, however, know that 1t
ended its career many years later at
the hands Of the barrator, says David
A. WATSON in Outing Magazine.
On its last voyage it cleared from
Boston for Port au Prince, Haiti. Os-
tensibly with Il cargo Of valuable gen.
eral merchandise. insured for $4,000,
When within Il few miles of its desti-
nation it Went ashore near MiragOane
and became Il total wreck. The cap.
tain. Parker, promptly sold the cargo.
Mitchell for $500. Mitchell saved it
at some trouble, but lived to wish he
hadn't.
When the underwriters agent arrived
on the scene to investigate. he found
several funny things about the cargo.
One case shipped as cutlery and in
sured for $1,000 contained dog collars
worth $50. Barrels supposed to contain
expensive liquors We're full Of worth
less dregs, Il consignment of salt fish
insured for 5000 was rotten, and
other articles mentioned in the bill Of
lading proved to be in keeping.
Consul Mitchell, not only duped. but
outlawed. stood not on the order of his
going. but cleared out for tall timber.
The captain of the brig was tried in the
United States district court in Boston,
convicted and sentenced to a long term
later.

The mex morning Miss Miller ap-

a notice vas nailed to a tree near the
entrance Of her grounds giving warn

the prisoner II he was represented by
counsel. to which he replied that he
would conduct his own case. Then he
added:
Il refuse to answer to this charge
on the ground that there is no law Of
the land to compel me to answer"
Miss Miller had left word for her at

"NO law. Well. what are all such

"Probably to brighten trespassers,

The lawyer was mistaken. but Miss
Miller did not learn that until later.
