Weekend TRAVELLING BAD.

A new bag for a lady's toilet arti-
cles, when she goes travelling, is very
clever. 1t is a made-at-home affair of
heavy silk, plain or figured, lined with
silk or cloth in a contrasting color. 1t
is circular and draws upon silk cord.
Upon opening it, all the toilet requis-
ties are discovered very tidily and coz
lily arranged. This particular bag may
be made in miniature. with complete
fittings, like an amplified vanity bag,
and it is a treasure for the overnight
visit.
A round powder box, enclosed in a
small bag, is attached to the center of
the circular piece of silk. This small
bag closes with a silk cord and pro-
vides support for several compart-
ments that are ranged about It These
compartments contain all those things
which are necessary to milady's toilet,
including a small hairbrush and comb,
hand mirror, toothbrush and paste in
a glass holder, toilet powder, clothes
brugh, scissors, and needlecase-
The arrangement is so complete and
compact that there is still room for a
soft nightdress of batiste or silk, ex-
ira handkerchiefs, etc. The smaller
bags will not carry these, but are mar
wells in space arrangement Al the fit
tngs are little, but everything that is
really needed finds a place. Even
when brought down to the '-irreducible
minimum" there are quite a number
of things that the weekend or over
uight visitor can't do without
The weekend bag can be made of
other fabrics than silk Cretonne and

Coal gas illumination was evolved
between 1892 and 1902, but 1t was not
until about 1884 that it was brought to
high state of efficiency by the Wells

New French Army Helmet.

Sixty-four operations are necessary
In making one of the steel helmets
that the French soldiers wear. The
FIRST step, says Parsons Magazine, is
stamping out disks from great sheets
Of steel. A machine that exerts pres
sure of one hundred and fifty tons,
and can cut out 5000 disks a day,
does that work.
Each disk is placed under a shap-
ing machine, which presses the disk
into the form Of a helmet with a
broad rim. Polishing and cutting ma
chimes remove all Irregularities in the
helmet, after which holes are punched
in the crown-some for ventilation
purposes, others for fastening on the
reglmental crest.
Each helmet is cleaned and dipped
in a special mixture that makes 1t a
dull, inconspicuous blush gray. A
lining and leather chin straps are
then fastened on, and the helmet is
complete. Since the French troops
have begun to wear helmets the num-
Der of deaths from wounds in the
head has decreased to a remarkable
extent.

COULDN'T CATCH BULL BY
 SALT ON HIS TAIL.

DEFIANCE, Ohio, June 20. - Mike Flanagan, employed by the Wells Fargo Express Company, learned that while it may be possible to catch birds by putting salt on their tails, the same scheme cannot be worked to corral an angry bull that is trying to escape from a grizzly bear.
 The bear and bull came into Defi- ance by Wells Fargo express on the same B. X O. train. They were to be transferred here. The bull became scared at the bear, and escaped from his case,
 Flanagan got some salt, approached the bull, threw some at its tail, but missed. His bovine lordship emitted an angry roar and made for his pur- suer with head lowered. Flanagan jumped fence. F. H. Lambertson, the express company agent, chased the animal into a barn.

RUSSIAN PRISONERS ARE
 ESCAPING ID HOLLAND

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, June 17. There has been a striking increase in the number of escaped Russian pris- oners of war to reach Dutch territory in the last few weeks. arrivals being reported almost daily. The fugitiTes seldom come alone. usually arriving in parties. varying from two or three to a dozen. The increase is apparently due to the greater facilities offered for escape by the German policy ot utilizing the labor of so many thou sands of such men in Belgium and elsewhere. The number of escapes into Holland in the last few months may be put at several hundreds. many of the men hailing from remote parts of the Russian empire.

Several vessels are near completion and one or two just completed on the Clyde.
 Extensive repair work is in pro gress also in most of the east and south coast yards, while the Belfast yards are said to be preparing for an early resumption of mercantile work.
 The dilution of labor scheme on the Clyde has already commenced, and a number of women have been as- signed to suitable unskilled work.

CORAL FOUND BY DIVER
 IN GASTINEAU CHANNEL

At the Juneau public library are seen samples of coral and sea corn found by Diver Stagger in Gastineau channel, while searching for the body of William Christie. The diver also found several hermit crabs
 The finding of the coral is causing considerable speculation, as it was generally supposed that it grew only in the tropics and semi-tropical wat CTS. There are many varieties, from deep red in color and the pink and colorless shades; and the sample at the library is pale pink.
