THE ribbon rose still reigns trium-
j plant among simulated flowers, as
we'll as in the garden of nature. After
1t the violet, just now, divides honors
with the sweet pea, which is novelty
in the field of flowers made of ribbon.
A clever copy, quite faithful as to
colors and sufficiently so in general
appearance, is made of narrow satin
ribbon in all the light colors. The
blossoms are mounted on wire stems,
very fine and flexible, and big bunch
of these light-colored blossoms in
bouquets makes about the loveliest dec
,ration for the corsage that can be
imagined.
The ribbon daisy, made of very mar
row white satin ribbon, and small fiat
rosettes like them in pale colors are
worn on the laciest lingerie. The
daisies, roses and zinnias, mounted on
long stems, make fine table decora-
tons, and with the exception of the
rose are the best choice in ribbon
lowers for that purpose.
But the makers of ribbon flowers
aud ornaments are so ingenious and

Delicate Fabrics.

Sheer fabrics, such as chiffons, or
candies, dimities and all other mate
rails that are too delicate to take
starch, will gain their original crisp
ness If three tablespoonful of sugar
are added to the rinsing water. This
is also the proper treatment for all
wells.
A good way to wash white silk is
to take lukewarm water, make 70
quite blue and to each quart of wa,
ter add two teaspoonfuls of pure am
monia. Use good white soap, rinse
in water prepared the same way, roll
up and iron on the wrong side with
an iron not too hot. Cleansing white
silk in gasoline is also satisfactory
method. This should be done out
doors.

But how does an insect listens?
In most insects the auditory organs
If they can be demonstrated at all,
take the form of excessively minute
structures connected with nerves.
These structures, which are micro
scopic hairs, and cavities, are found
most commonly upon antennae, but
they may also occur upon other parts
of the body.
So far as the writer is aware, the
cicadas have not been shown to pos
sess any specialized "ears." We are
thus left to assume that they gain
their impressions of sound by means
Of scattered sense organs such as
those which have just been men
toned.
Indeed, some authorities are of
opinion that cicadas do not hear at all

ATTACKED BY TINY RATHER
Venomous Pygmy Reptile Was Hid
den in Log Near King
Snake Eggs.

In small pond we captured several
Of the banded water snakes (Tropido-
notus facciatus). One, large and
richly marked specimen, was lying as
he was among the short growth of
vegetation. l nearly stepped on him
before I saw him. On placing the
forked stick over him he wound up
1t as far as he could and struck
viciously at everything in reach, but
was soon grasped by the neck and
placed into a bag. These water
snakes, though nonvenomous, were by
a great majority of the people we met
thought to be very poisonous.
Many snakes were uncovered in
turning over the fans; mostly very
young cottonmouths, which very
strongly resemble the young copper
heads (Ancistrodon contortrix) and
the pygmy rattlers (Sistrurus mila-
rius). This diminutive rattlesnake
would generally be found coiled on the
projecting base of palm and cov-
cred by palm fan. None that we
caught made any attempt to escape,
but they were ready to do mischief
If they had the chance. They were so
small, generally from IL to Is inches,
that their rafting could not be heard
unless held close to the ear.
My partner had narrow escape
from being bitten by one of them. He
had broken open hollow log on the

The Shirt-Waist Holder.

Made in white, gray or black are
shirt-waist holders which are really
narrow belts, fastening with three
clasps and attachments of rubber
They obviate the necessity Of holding
the shirt waist with pins. However,
many women will recall that when a
firm offered a prize a short time ago
for the best fastener for a shirt
waist, nothing was found to be so Sc
cure and satisfactory as the common
safety pin used in quantity.

A PRETTY velvet cap bordered with
"A fur, and a muff to match, are easy
to make and therefore interesting to
those who like to undertake such
things for themselves. With them
are pictures of lace evening cap
and a small cape edged with mara
bou, which also belong among those
modish accessories of evening dress
that the home dressmaker may under
take with every chance of success.
Marabou is made in all colors and
In white and black. 1t is sold by the
yard, and is inexpensive trimming,
about as effective as fur 1t is liked
best in the natural taupe color, but
for evening wear white and the varied
light colors are available.
There are several patterns by which
the velvet cap may be made. A
straight band about the head, with a
scant puff forming the crown, is sim
pie and satisfactory. The band is
made of crinoline or buckramette, coy
cred with velvet and lined with silk.

with crinoline, if necessary, but is
often merely lined with silk. The
marabou edge is sewed to the band
about the face.
Foundations for caps in other
shapes are to be had ready made at
the milliners. In any of them the
band or brim about the face is to be
covered with a bias strip of velvet
and soft puffed crown, of scant full
ness, set in.
The muff is made of puffs of velvet,
wide but not full, shirred over small
cord. Readymade muff-beds land
ready lined, if desired) are sold in the
0ry-goods stores for the benefit of mil
liners and other women who make
use Of them. With the introduction of
fur-cloths and velvet in muffs they
are in great demand. The ends of the
muff of shirred velvet are finished
with fringe of fur. A collar of the
same fur finishes the neck of the
loose wrap. 1t is high and square at
the back and at the front will roll up
about the throat.

NelYets and Eurs.

Fashion always revels in the use of
rich velvets, rare furs, wonderful bro
cades and gorgeous embroideries, and
in fashioning regal evening wraps she
has achieved her greatest success.
The capes of the past season have
been transformed into sumptuous
capes, which totally envelop the fig
ure. Chiffon velvet of tangerine yell
low, white, black, midnight blue, bor-
deaux red or beige, lined with bro
caded silk of a contrasting tone, are
the combinations most in evidence.
Fur invariably trims the evening
wrap, whether it be cape or a cloak

ears-elaborate structures admirably
adapted to receive and transmit sound
waves. But the external openings OF
these organs are most surprisingly To-
Gated. In crickets and long-horn
grasshoppers there are two curved
Sits in the tibia or shin of the fore
leg, one on each side, just below the
knee" These are the openings Of
the ears Each slit gives access to
a tympanum, or drum" which is con-
nected with air spaces and nerve end
ings. In the case of the short-horn
grasshoppers, the ears occupy an
equally unexpected position, viz. at
the base of the abdomen. The open
ing on either side may be found be-
meath the wings, just above the at
tachmentt of the great hind-leg.
1t will BIB we'll, in conclusion, to en-
phasize the fact that the noises made
by insects are strictly instrumental.
No insect has "voice"-that is, the
power of producing sounds by the ex-
pulsion of air from the lungs through
the throat and mouth. Indeed, insects
have no lungs, nor do they use their
mouths for breathing. On the con-
trary, they take in atmospheric air
through a number of small openings
along the sides of the body. These
openings are called "spiracles." They
give access to an elaborate system OF
minute pipes, or "tracheae," which
ramify among the insects living It's
sues and convey to them the oxygen
