BUCKLES AND CLASPS

For Collars and Belts They Are Mora Numerous Thau Kver,

A pretty little fancy, which lias not yet been followed enough to become common, Is the new collar clasp. Wheu summer brings cotton frocks and shirt waists, and with them the prevalence of the ever pretty ribbon crush collar, these buckles and clasps will be found a delightful innovation and a vast improvement ou the pernicious, temper ruiUing hooks and eyes of last season.

The collar el/isp is simply a belt clasp in miniature. The designs are as many as the stars of heaven, from jewelled, dainty affairs, only appropriate for dress occasions, to the simple style of two-clasped silver hearts or a true lovers' knot of silver. The pretty flowered ribbons that are the glory of the shop windows are sewed into these clasps long enough to go just twice around the throat and clasped in front, riain white satin ribnon, double faced, too. is pretty, with a gold or jeweled clasp, and the fact, which some persons do not seem to realize, that these ribbons, when soiled, may be washed with white soap and water, makes them particularly serviceable.

Some of the ribbon belts, too, are made long enough to go twice around waist. They are very becoming when the waist is slender enough to stand the added size. With the white embroidered or embroidery trimmed sliirt waists, which promise to be very popular this season, these ribbon coilars and belts will make a pretty finish. and an occasional pleasant relief from the severity of the starched collar and leather belt.

To go with the set for an occasion there are also great possibilities of ornamentation in the sailor hat bands. With the return of the straight around ribbon, which the best of fashion dictates for this summer, the practicability of changing ribbons on the hats is much increased. These to match the collar and belt are sewed into shape, and two bits of hat elastic running from under the bow to the back end of the ribbon makes it possible to slip it off the hat wheu it is to be changed for another color.

Art of Living Down Trifles.

The people who stay young longest and are most attractive, whether young or old. are those Who do things that they ought to do. not from a sense of duty, but because it is a pleasure.

The woman who stays up late at night to nurse a sick friend, or to finish a dozen shirts for the heathen, because duty alone prompts, while it is a weariness ot'tlie flesh only sustained by the commendations of conscience, is doing herself and the relative, or the heathen wrong. She is dragging through a task which is repugnant to her, and she shows in her face before many years have passed lines indicative of unnecessary worry.

Contrast with the nervous, hurried woman the wholesome, red-cheeked matron who "takes things easy." It is not necessary to neglect home or husband to do this, for she does quite as much in her way as the woman whe is always "rushed to death." The one who lives by conscience feels that she must do by her neighbors as they do by her, and consequently her friends receive invitations to dine at her house even when they find the hostess in a state bordering on nervous prostration. She must, return the hospitality she has received at any cost, and if her income is limited she will make up the deficiency by overwork and overworry. Her friends know this, and it is a trial for them to dine at her house.

It is absurd to say that one hasn't time to take care of one's self or must not offer poorer fare than one receives. There is no charity that does not flow from love. If one makes undergarments for the heathens because she wants to, her complexion will not suffer.

It should be part of a woman's duty to beautify herself. A man's love may not wane because his wife has grown old, but Is is apt to suffer if she has deteriorated into a nervous wreck.

Hslf'Fsfldln^ Flower Pot.

Anew flower pot, just invented, reg ulates the water supply of plants and makes it impossible to kill them witfc too much water. The feature of this

A NOVEL FLOWER POT.

pot lies In the construction of the saucer that holds it. This is quite deep and is provided with a cover, made in circular shape, to fit around the lower part of the pot. In this saucer is placed a portion of soil, and to keep the plant in flue condition it is only necessary to dampen this earth every few days.

Worn and Rn.ty Crape.

In buying crape ask for the waterproof and thus avoid anxiety when in the rain as the ordinary material will spot and lose its crispness when wet. When this does happen, or if the crape has worn rusty-looking and shabby, It may be steamed and thus renew Its glossy, crisp texture and appearance. This process may be repeated as often as necessary. Ijtip the hems out of the veil or the trimming to be renovated, brush and dust off with an old piece of silk and pull out all the threads. Then have a clean broom-handle and around this wrap each piece of crape, keeping it smooth until all are on the handle, and fastened with small pins do not pull it very tightly. Keep a boiler half full of boiling water and rest the handle across the edge of the boiler so that it may be turned several times during the five hours that the crape Is steaming. Then stand the handle np until the crape is perfectly dry. This usually requires ten hours. "When unpinned it will be as glossy anil crisp as when new. 5 A

ARTIFICIAL DAYLIGHT

Nikola TMla's Dlncovery to bo I'ut to a

Practical Test.

The promise made by Nikola Tesla to the world some two years ago that he would soon give it a means of lighting its homes, its offices and its streets at night time by "artificial daylight" has been fulfilled. The invention has been entirely completed for several weeks. A day or two ago the authoritative announcement was made that contracts have already been signed with several New York business houses to equip their business places with the new light at once. The promoters of the company which is pushing the new invention are so certain of its great practical utility that they predict that it must soon supplant the arc lamp. "Vacuum tube lighting by high frequency currents" is what Tesla himself calls it. The name, though clumsy, is sufficiently descriptive. The essential parts are a vacuum tube, and a special current of high frequency, produced by a special dynamo, of Tesla's invention. "The tubes," Mr. Tesla explains, "have had all the air pumped out, but. o£ course, are full of ether. The passage of this special current sets the ether in motion, forming light waves. The light differs fromvarc illumination in that it haa no particular center. The whole tube glows and sheds a radiance like daylight all around."

The tubes, of course, are seaied tight at both ends. A wire is made fast to one end. but there is no wire inside. The tubes at present in use are about a foot long. For special purposes, such as studio illumination, street lighting and so on, they can be made any size up to a yard. The glory and the beauty of them is that their light goes all over the place to be illuminated—is as strong in the corner of a room, as directly under the tube. Hence the truth of its name, artificial daylight. A lighted tube in a room has exactly the effect of daylight flooding the windows. Notwithstanding the tube itself is not trying to the eyes. You may look steadily at it, with no evil effects whatever.

In incandcscent lighting 97 per ccnt. of the electric current goes to making the filament hot, leaving but 3 per cent, for illumination. And this brings us to a second long advantage of the vacuum tube. It never grows hot. you may touch the glass an hour after the light is turned on and find it as cool as when first lighted. An electric bulb in like case is hot enough to scorch, not to mention giving headaches to the luckless mortals who hap pen to sit directly underneath or beside it.

The tubes can be attached to the «lectric light fixtures in common use, but cannot he illuminated by the ordinary current. Or rather they can be made to glow with it, but the process is too costly. That was one thing that made the wise men doubtful in the beginning. A few of them thought Tesla might probably perfect his light process, but were firm in the belief that It would remain too costly for commercial use.

Tesla's new dynamo has changed all that. Contracts now signed insure that several important structures in New York city will be equipped with the new light. There can be no doubt that it will rapidly supplant other methods of illumination as soon as moneyed men build and operate high frequency current stations. The first cost of wires, tubes, etc., is about the same as for incandescent lighting, but the tubes have the very great virtue of not burning out after the manner of incandescent globes or carbon pencils, hence the cost of operation will be very much less.

When it comes to use there is simply no comparison possible. It is just the same as having a day twenty-four hours long. Everywhere, for every purpose, artificial daylight equals the real thing. The photograph of the inventor's hand was made at midnight, in his laboratory, with a two-second exposure. It was not only taken, but printed by the artificial daylight, yet it shows clearly the lines of the palm and the texture of cuff and sleeve.

Nothing remains now but to equip the world with proper wires, dynamos, and so on. Men with money know a good thing when they see it, even without artificial daylight, so it is very likely that In a matter of twelve months there will be practically no night in any considerable city of the world.

In all stages of Nazal Catarrh there should ba cleanliness. As experience proves Ely's Cream Balm is a cleanser, soother and healer of the diseased membrane. It is not drying nor irritating, and does not produce sneezing To test it a tiial sb is mailed for 10 cents or the la :ge for 50 cents by Ely Brothers, 56 Warien Street, New York. Dru^g-sts keep it. Upon being placc .1 into the nostrils it spreads over the membrane and relief is immediate. It is an agreeable cure.

Broken Arm.

Among the many delusive inventions of man there is nothing which is quite so treacherous as the ordinary step-laddar. This will be testified to in any court by J. A. Harlan. Mr. Harlan while engaged in tinkering about the house Monday had one of these affairs collapse with him, and to save himself threw his arm back and snapped the bones of his arm.
