IMPROVING THE OUTLINE.
The Silhouette Of Gowns Constantly
GROWING Better.

Blue is a dominant color in dresses,
whether of cloth, serge or velvet. We
are improving our ~silhouettes, at all
events at the back, where the tunic Is
caught up.
Many of the short jackets barely
cover the waist line, and most of the
new designs are fastened at the neck
and open from there to the waist. an
idea borrowed from 1870, while the
dresses have the turnover collars and
ribbon cravats.
There is a strong tendency in the
jackets to droop at the back and the
skirts TO tilt upward. Gold lace ap-
pears on many of the evening dresses.
Indeed, we cannot wear too much
lace.
The effect of Turkish trousers with
their loose, cleverly manipulated folds
above the ankle is a feature, as are
hip yokes on some of the new skirts.
They are not tight and look rather
more like a loose girdle than anything
else. Butterflies figure in the hair and
in lace medallions on blouses and un-
derWear.

YOUR CHILD'S Teeth.
The Time In Which They Should APP
pear and the Order.

pear and the Order.
The milk teeth first teeth are twen-
ty in number. The time at which they
appear is subject to considerable va
riations, even under normal conditions.
The following table gives the order
and average time of appearance of the
different teeth:
Two lower central incisors, six to
nine months.
Four upper incisors, eight to twelve
months.
Two lower lateral incisors and four
anterior molars, twelve to fifteen
months.
-Four CANNES, eighteen to tw%enty-four
months.
Four posterior molars, twenty-four
to thirty months.
At one year of age a child should
have six teeth.
At one and one-half years it sho3ld
have twelve teeth.
At two years it should have sixteen
teeth.
At two and one-half years it should
have twenty teeth.
1t is not easy to explain where there
are so often variations from the aver
age. The order in which the teeth ap-
pear is more regular than the time of
their appearance. Marked irregulari-
ties in order Of the appearance of the
teeth are the rule in idiotic children
or those suffering from slighter mental
effects.
Delayed dentition is generally caus-
ed by ricketts,. Many healthy children,
however. frequently have no teeth ap'
pear until the tenth month of age

DRINKS FOR THE CHILDREN.
Wholesome Summer Beverages For the
Little Folks.

Little Folks.
Barley water when very carefully
prepared is a first rate drink for chill
dren in hot weather and makes a well
come change from plain water or milk
and water. Lemonade should be only
very s%paringly given them, and then
only when carefully made with fresh
lemons.
A child should be allowed to drink
as much as it likes either of barley wa
ter or plain cold filtered water. The
extra perspiration caused by the hot
weather will often induce thirst, and
the need nature makes felt in this
way should be met.
In hot weather, too, when there Is
lassitude or signs of i'll health, n Of
the excellent patent foods should be
given for a time. In this way the
nutriment required which IS not given
by the ordinary diet will be obtained,
for it is no use to force a child to eat
more than it wants at ordinary meals
a very common nursery mistake in the
first warm weather.
1t is quite surprising to find the diff
ference which a cup of matted milk
once or twice a day and a meal of some
good patent food for supper will make,
even in a few days. in a child who is
peevish and generally out Of sorts.

found that the man who had been seat

He had changed his seat to enc oppo-

THIS TRICK WITH FUNNEL;
Blowing Out a Light Through It Is
Easy if You Know How.

To blow out a candle, using a funnel
to blow through, seems a ridiculouSly
easy thing to do. But ask any friend
Of yours to try it and see what hap
pens. Ten to II he will try to blow
through the cup SO as to force his
breath through the narrow neck OF the
funnel. AS this is not an easy thing
to do he will f1atten mouth and nose
in his endeavors, while trying to force
his face into the small cup. Then he
will reverse the funnel and blow into
the neck, and when he does not sue
coed in extinguishing the light he will
blow harder and harder and finally.
he will admit that he is beaten.
In blowing through the neck of the
funnel he has directed the funnel dl-
rectly at the light, so that he flame Is
exactly opposite to the place where the
neck of funnel joins the cup. You, on
taking the funnel from him, incline the
funnel so that its upper edge is on q
level with the light. You blow gently.

fort which your friend put forth.
If you ponder a moment you will
realize why you succeeded and why
your friend failed. His breath on en-
tering the cup or funnel spread in all
directions, and the tiny current OF air
was dispersed upward and downward,
so that. as he neatly leveled the center
of the funnel at the flame, no current
Of air ever reached it.
You, on the contrary, hold the upper
wall of the funnel on a level with the

A Clever Way Of suppIementing It In
the Small Apartment.
A clever woman added more closet
space to the scanty supply her apart
ment afforded in this way: The hall
was Of wood paneling up to a height
of four feet. She converted every 9TH
err panel for some distance along II
side into an invisible door, so that the
space in back of each could be used
for storing various belongings.
In one of these shallow closets a rack
was built to hold umbrellas. In an
other We're inserted shelves just wide
enough to hold the mems hats when
not in use. Another closet space was
used for whisk broom. busters and hat
brush and still another for overshoes,
etc.
This arrangement has proved an in
estimable convenience. \ careful car

Peculiar Shaped Bible.

- '~rS~
What is perhaps the most extraordi-
nary form in which the Bible has ever
been offered is that edition of the
Scriptures in the language Of Uganda.
The volume is of great length, but
only three inches in thickness and the
same in width. A peculiar ease oc-
casioned the adoption of this form.
In central Africa the white ants and
other insects rapidly destroy books In
less they are we'll protected. The rep
resentatives of the Church Missionary,
society accordingly recommended to
the Bible society hat it should issue
this edition in a form that would fit
into the tin biscuit boxes of a certain
firm that is popular in Uganda fami-
lies. This was done. and the ant proof
tin box is just large enough to- hold
this Bible, a small Bible history, a
hymnal and a prayer book.-Presby-

Religious
Four Hundred Million In Gifts.

FOUR Hundred Million In Gifts.
The American people are this year
spending more money to build churches
and giving larger sums for religious
enterprises than ever before. This Is
the verdict Of Christian bodies of every
denomination all over the land.
Reports from religious centers show
that $4OO, 100000 is being put into
Christian work this year. Only a few
years ago the figure was $2jO,OOO.OOO.
OF this years sum $4,000, 600, which
IS $o,OOO,OW above the average for the
last ten years, is being spent to erect
new churches.
New York will lead all other cities
in the number and value Of churches
built, spending approximately $780,
GOO during the year. Chicago will rank
second, with expenditures of $3,OOO,-
GOO, and San Francisco, owing to the
number of structures going up on the
Panama exposition grounds for the
use of Christian bodies, will follow
closely behind Chicago.
The greatest amount of building by
any II denomination is being lone by
the Roman Catholic church. The
Episcopalian, Disciples of Christ and
Presbyterian branches follow in the
order named. The Christian Scientists
report a falling off from their previous
record. and the smallest number of
edifices is being erected by the Uni.
tarians.
During the year the American peo-
pie will send ~$1S.OO0.OOO to foreign
mission fields, but So. 100000 will be
kept here for use in home fields.
Marked changes in the style of struc-
ures being erected are also indicated
il the reports. In large cities the old
fashioned church with spire. grass
plot, bell and house for minister, is
rapidly passing. and in its place is
coming the apartment church,
This is Il single structure covering a
small plot Of ground and containing in
addition to the church. clubrooms,
bowling alleys, apartments for the pas
tor and the workers. and on occasions
a roof garden. The introduction into
religion of social service. civics and
the training of laymen is responsible
for the change.
