RerarkabIe MIRAGE Seen at Dairen

A mirage was witnessed at Dairen,
formerly the Russian dream city" of
Dalny, on the Liaotung peninsula. The
vision appeared upon the side Of the
bay and was discovered by the purser
of the Shanghai liner Sakaki Maru,
while coming into port. Looking
northward, he saw vast structures
upon the side Of the bay, where he
knew no such buildings existed. A
crowd assembled, and the vision was
promptly declared to be a mirage
one of the most remarkable ever seen
in the far East. 1t originally appeared
to be three buildings, six stories high.
This disappeared and then a whole
city rose out of the waters of the bay
"a great city with a tall church tower
in the middle ground. The tiles upon
the church roof were plainly discern
lble. At the right of the picture
stone walls of a large rOofess struc-
ture, blackened by a destructive fire,
were visible. No such aerial images
have been seen before at Dairen, and
superstititious citizens are variously
commenting thereon.-East and West

A Useful Screen.

of a very novel nature. The sides Of
the clotheshorse are placed at right
angles, and then two pieces of board
are fastened upon the center bars with
screws, and form a shelf. This shelf
is covered with pale green silk and fin
ished off in front at the edge with
braid and brass-headed nails of a
fancy pattern driven in close together.
The back of the screen is draped with
pale green silk arranged in narrow
plaits, and finished above the top and
below the lower bars Of the clothes
horse with tiny frills. The upright
portions of the woodwork are painted
dark green, and each piece is n
mented at the top with a small brass
ball. In the center of each Of the up
per bars a brass-headed nail is driven,
and upon these nails small pictures
can be hung, as shown.
This little article makes a pretty
addition to any room, and it is very
useful for holding the afternoon tea
things, or it can be placed In a corner
and some pretty ornamental china ar
ranged upon it.

Consolation.

When one is filled with Ills and
groans, when one has cares and aching
bones, when every scene presents to
view but woes and bills far overdue, in
short when all the worlds a place OF
fretfulness and sorry case, then what a
solace one can find if he will only call
10 mind the words that someone used
to say, "This too will only pass away!"
They seem to have the proper ring, a
heap of comfort they can bring and
when the day is drab and drear they
somehow seem to please the ear; when
in a wretched circumstance they may
not make you sing and dance, they
may not fill you full of glee and make
you joyful as can be, they may not
seldom fail to please. So when you
have no shirts to wear or when you're
losing all your hair oil when you're
filled with aches and means OIL when
you can't collect from Jones, when you
are weak with ~toothache's ills and
when you cannot meet your bills, when
all the weary worlds askew and you,
in short, are really blue, here is the
little piece TO say: 'This too will soon
PASS away."-nlinois State Register.

to a wealthy merchant, 81 believe a
poor boy named Wilks sought your as
sistance twenty years ago and you
were very kind to him! You gave
him food and sound advice, a suit Of
clothes and a half dollar, and dis

Howkins. "He said," Brown went on,
"that if he prospered he would see that
you never had occasion to regret your
kindness to a poor struggling lad"
"Gracious! exclaimed Mr.. Howkins.
SIT sounds like a fairy tale! Why, you
must have seen him" "I have" said
Brown, "and he sent a message to you"

%pectantly. "He told me to tell you
that he would like another half dol

ALBAMANS ARE ODD PEOPLE
Some Of Them Are Highly Civilized,
But as a Body They viii Have
Nothing Of Progress.

AS a matter of fact, Albania Is a
network of mountain tribes under
hereditary chieftains, each of whom Is
Independent of the rest and of all the
world, and they do not want any
other form Of institutions. Any gener-
al government they regard as a llmita-
ton of their immeIhorial freedom.
They are natural fighters, and esteem
10 privilege higher than the privilege
Of warfare among themselves, tribe
against tribe. They are of several
faiths and churches-Moslem, Catho-
lie, Orthodox Greek, Moslems with
Christian customs and Christians with.
Moslem customs, and in some tribes.
in the same family, the boys are
brought up as Moslems and the girls
as Christians. With these people re-
ligion is a mere incident. The main
thing is to be let alone. Only in this
disposition and in their language are
they united.
Yet these picturesque and free-spir-
tied barbarians are the oldest, purest
and probably the handsomest repre-
sentatives of our race. In lineage they
are the Aryan ~aristocracy of Europe.
Ardent tribesmen, most dignified shep-
herds, devoted m~ountaineers, they new
erthless wander over the earth and
many Of them are engaged today In
blacking boots in Boston, New York
and Chicago. Individually capable Of
civilization and education, well en-
dowed with brains, their native prefer
ence for the wild ~nationless life of
their mountain home suggests a doubt
whether they have not after all the
right idea of life-whether the rest of
us, in modifying the purity of the
blood which these rude Skipetars have
maintained so nobly, have not degen-
Grated instead Of risen, says the Bos-
ton Transcript. Why else, a curious
mind might ask, should the Albanians
placed in the most beautiful nook of
Europe, facing the Adriatic sea, poised
between Rome and Constantinople
and Athens, have remained illiterate
barbarians through all the centuries,
never Hellenized, never LatiniZed,
. while at the same time they preserved
| some of the noblest characteristics
and virtues of the race? Isolated they
have been, and very much civilized
some of their members have become.
But Of progress they will have nothing.

STILL THE ORIENT
Chinese Influence Continues to
Be Seen in Clothes.
Design and coIoring Of Attractive
Froek for Fall Wear Are Drawn
From Modes of Far East.

The continued oriental influence on
dress is emphasized by the model here
shown, which is Chinese in design and
coloring. The underneath frock has a
decidedly narTo skirt of plain black
satin that suggests the loose trousers
Of the Oriental, while the overdress,
made of navy serge embroidered in
rich colorings, Stimulates the mandarin
coat. The present season tendency to
favor a rather high waistline is ex-
pressed in the betting Of the front of
the overdress. The back section hangs
In a straight panel effect, drawn in
only slightly at the waist, but I'M
belted.
This combination of fabrics is the
model shown in the sketch is youth
full, it is not too girlish to be worn by
a mature woman of slender, graceful
figure. The satin part of the garment
is in reality a perfectly plain princess
frock, and If 1t is desired this may be
worn entirely separate and apart from
the overdress, a touch of distinction
being given by the use of white lace
or embroidery collar and cuffs.
To make this dress, the skirt of
which should not measure more than
two yards in width, four and a half
yards of satin SO inches wide and three
yards of serge the same width will be
required.
The frock may, of course, be made
up in any preferred combination of
fabrics. Serge and satin are suggest
ed as the most popular fabric blend
ing.
Heavy wool embroidery is being con
siderably featured as a trimming, and
it is really very effective, especially on
wool fabrics. The use of beads is
somewhat discouraged by the high
prices.
