FASHION CUES.
Points About the Very Lat
est Spring Toys Are Here.

Despite all the rumors to the oppo-
site effect, there is a strong directoire
influence In some Of the spring suits
and frocks. Especially Is this true Of
the Paris collection. In the suits this
effect is obtained in the placing Of the
belt and in the size Of the revers. As
for the materials used, there Is a guam
tty Of satin and charmeuse besides fig
ured and striped foulard and striped
mousseline. Embroidered chiffon is
used to drape over satin or eharmeuse.
There are seen both the barrel and the
draped skirts, while the skirt for the
suit Is narrower and occasionally
plated. Jackets for the two pieced
suits are short. for they reach to the
waist, not even the conservative finger
tip length that had been predicted for
the early spring. These short jackets
frequently show panels Of accordion
plaits and a combination of materials,
but in different order from that which
we have been accustomed to-for in
stance, the skirts will be checked ma
eSAA&A anu IAC JaShCIS VI pam.
At the southern resorts, for cycling,
which is eminently southern sport, the
suits are most attractive, the skirts
short and the boomers Of the fitted
riding type, and these of a striped.
checked or blocked material, and the
jacket of the predominating tone Of
the figured material. The material
used for these sports clothes is home
spun, and this, by the way of change.
Is quite acceptable and very attrac-
tive. The skirts as often as not are di-
vided, and the knickers are, Of course.
Of the same material.
On all sides we hear of the slip-over
effect of suits and blouses and even
wraps. Organdie and linen make a
southern wear frock on this order.
Top coats come in all the bright new
colors and are most attractive in de-
sign. Some have quite a directoire
effect, while others show belts at the
natural waist line. Velvet ribbon en-
tiers into the trimming of these as well
as the dressier suit.

Art and Nature.

Art is the revelation of man, and
not merely that, but likewise the reve-
Iation of nature speaking through man.
Art pre-exiSts in nature, and nature is
reproduced in art. AS vapors from
the ocean floating landward and dis
solved In rain are carried back in riv-
ers to the ocean, so thoughts and the
semblances of things that fall upon the
soul of man in showers flow out again
in living streams of art and lose them
selves in the great ocean, which is ma
ture. Art and nature are not, then,
discordant, but ever tremendously
working in each other.-Longfellow' 8

kesns Milk From Boiling Over,

Among the various devices which are
intended to prevent milk from boiling
over We noticed one which solves the
problem in a very simple way, says the
Scientific American. 1t consists Of a
straight tube Of say two or three
inches in diameter at the top and ex-
panding somewhat toward the bottom,
where it Is provided with flaring and
cup shaped end Of rather large diane
ter, the whole being somewhat of
trumpet shape Out Of the lower part
are cut, say four suitable openings, and
We set the device upright In the vessel
with the small end just out Of the
liquid. Should the milk tend to boil
violently this action commences at the
bottom, and the liquid is forced up the
tube, then falls upon the surface again,
so that the boiling action will continue
in this way and the milk has no ten
dency to leave the vessel.

A Short Business Talk.

In a certain store the merchandise
manager sent for the ready to wear and
millinery buyers and said to them:
you men are getting bad accumu-
lation of stock that is hard to move.
Hereafter you will make daily and
weekly inventory and send the report
to this Office"
Both buyers declared this to be i'm
possible. but the merchandise man told
them to go and do it. Especially he
wanted them to show the age Of the
goods in stock, the sizes and the colors.
After attempting to take some Of
these daily inventories the buyers de-
cided that an easier way would be to
get busy and sell the goods faster. This
same plan has been used in many de-
partments with fine results.
There is nothing like the spot light to
engender selling activity in a store

Value of Vacations.

Vacations, according to the New York
Medical Journal, are natures safety
valves for the relief Of the high pres
sure resulting from efficiency. Eficien-
cy demands that throughout working
hours all the faculties be taxed to the
utmost without waste Of material or
Of energy, but If properly directed 1t
aims at making an efficient man before
an efficient product Therefore pro-
duction may not exact that the man
speed up beyond his endurance.
The recent application Of efficiency
methods makes the vacation more than
ever necessary. ''The vacation" says
the Medical Journal, should be the
nearest approach to the simple life. 1t
Is for this reason that the country, with
all its many Inconvenience, is so often
chosen for the place Of vacation. The
vacation period allows for the Absorb
ton and elimination of the fatigue
products from the system accumulated
in the pressure period of the work.
The longer the vacation, therefore, the
better the subsequent work"

All In the Dialect.

A New Zealand man vouches for the
truth of the following story:
Dick Seldom was Of Lancashire orr
gin, and when he died the Lancastrian
society in New Zealand sent a wreath
with the following inscription: 81 have
gone whoam." The journalist who re-
ported the funeral evidently did not
come from Lancashire and consequent
ly was somewhat puzzled by the word
ing and, after thinking hard. conclud-
ed that some one had blundered His
report read:
1.-The Lancastrian society sent
beautiful wreath bearing the inscrip-
ton: 4 have gone. Who am IT."

Mystery of a Fish,

In the economy of nature nothing is
more remarkable than the metamor-
phosis Of the founder, which when
young swims in an upright position, as
do all other fish. but when maturity
develops it becomes topheavy, falls
over on its side and its existence is
passed as fat fish.
That nature moves in a mysterious
way is here freely illustrated, for when
the founder falls fat the two eyes,
which originally were on either side of
the head, are transposed to the upper
side Of the fish, where they always
face the light
The process by which this strange
change is accomplished has never been
discovered by scientists and is a mar
velous instance of natures operations.
for while the fish usually rests upon
bottom it can readily swim about in
any depth Of water.-New York Sun.

Submarine Torpedoes.

Launching a torpedo from a subma
rine is simple. The torpedo fits closely
In a tube or cylinder. with an opening
at the rear made alright when closed
At the desired moment there Is a dis.
charge of cordite and the torpedo is on
its way.
When the torpedo is projected from
a ship or boat into the water a lever
is thrown back. admitting air into the
engines, causing the propellers to re-
volve and drive the torpedo ahead.
The torpedo travels under water at a
high rate Of speed. 1t carries large
charge of explosive, which is ignited
on the torpedo striking any hard sub
stance, such as the hull of ship.
The distance the tube is submerged
depends on the target, but the nearer
the surface the more effective.
