FILIPINO SORROW. ‘ When I went down to breakfast the other morning at my hotel I found the attentive and unusually intelligent Filipino waiter who has served me ever since I attached myself to the hostelry sad. His eyes were bleared with salty tears and he looked down Kt the floor to avoid my glance of inquiry. “I am a few minutes late,” I said to the waiter. And then: “You have been crying. What troubles you?” Again he burst into tears, and, leaning his head against the wall, sobbed as if his heart would break. “What on earth ails you?” I asked, xather sympathetically. “Any of your relatives dead?” “No, no, senor, not that,” and the waited boohooed again. “Then out with it, boy!” I •*- dajmed, Impatiently; out with It!” “Oh, senor,” he stammered, "the pancakes are cold!” Noble muchacho, that, isn't he? — Philippine Monthly. .

Liberal Education.

Sir Horace Plunkett once delivered a lecture in Dublin, Ireland, on the best way to improve conditions among the poor. At that time Sir Horace was not exactly a finished speaker. His tongue could not do justice to the riches of his mind. j ' 1 The day following his address he received from a lady a note containing thiß statement: “What you need is two things: First, a wife, and, second, lessons In elocution.” To this Plunkett sent this reply: “I have received your letter saying that I need two things: First, a wife, and, second, lessons in elocution. Those are only one.” —Popular Magazine.

Lovely Moonlight Rose of White or Silver Gauze

THE last rose of summer to bloom • In the millinery garden is the most beautiful of all. A dream of rose, a lovely ghost of all the bright colored beauties which have preceded her. This is the rose of white or silver gauze, made of the fabric folded over and wrapped about a rose center in the semblance of a full blown rose. In the illustration a hat (which a French woman would be sure to call ‘ravishing”) is shown trimmed with a wreath of gauze roses and delicate grasses. The hat is a fine dead-white chip faced with moire in pale silver gray. Besides the wreath of roses, a very full bow of white ribbon partially covers the crown, in the trimming. It Itanadorable hat, beautiful in every Setail. Nothing could be better for

SMART SLEEVE FROM WORTH

Silk Marquisette Gown Has a Long, Tight Cuff of Black Satin. Worth has sent out a very smart sleeve in a black silk marquisette gown. It is full from a low shoulder to within an inch of the elbow, made of the marquisette, and there is a long tight cuff of black satin that extends to the hand, which is touched at the top with a thick satin cord, and is finished at the wrist with two white crochet buttons and a half-inch fall of black lace. The bodice has two gathered scarfs of the marquisette starting from the shoulders, crossing the bust, and finished at an empire waist line in the back with a flat pump bow held in place by thick satin cords at the edges. A black satin girdle outlines the front, of the blouse, and it runs into a narrow pointed panel for eight inches below the waist. This panel Is part of the skirt.

PANIERS AN EARLY FANCY

Cannot Be Said to Have Achieved Much Success Despite Its Parisian Origin and Backing. , Numberless are the “robes de style” just now being shown in all the big dressmaking houses, says the Paris correspondent of Dress, and various are the forms they take. Of course the panier, dress is one of them, copied exactly from old documents. But one never knows whether early models will be a success until La Parisienne has pronounced her opinion of them. Thus it is pretty safe to predict, instead of the panier dress, a return or a partial return to the directoire style. The high directoire collar and fancy vest are already seen at fashionable assemblies, worn with the cutaway habit coat and wide cuffs of the period, the directoire hat is worn with this costume, but the directoire hat is not new to us, for we have had it with ur. all the winter.

Tinted Walls.

It is far cheaper to tint walls with water or “size colors” than it is to paint them with oils. Moreover, thd colors are lovely vend the finish., soft. The only difficulty lies in the fact fnat tinted walls cannot* be washed. Size or fresco colors should never be touched with water. They may he cleaned wi‘h bread crumbs, or Indian meal, but the process is a tedious one. Dry pigments ere used for this tinting; They generally mixed in glue size that has been dissolved In hot water. They cost about fifty-five cents a package and one package will cover about forty square yards.—Harper’s Bazar.

midsummer, or any other season, providing the body of the hat is chosen of a material suited to the time of year in which it is to be worn. Other roses branched Into wreath* and bouquets, are made of lightweight ribbons in odd colors. Very high luster in the ribbons makes these ribbon roses unusually effective and attract ive. They are used on mid-season hats of lace and embroidery and on the net and lace caps which are worn indoors and out. Tiny tightly folded 'roses continue to grow in favor, worn like a bar pin at the throat, over small bows, and jabots. They are made of all the most popular of the summer colors, blue, pink, green, lavender, pale yellow and white JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

The collarette is of fine lace, the cravat and girdle are of satin. The sleeves are finished with odd-turned back frills of the material, edged with the heavy lace.

Fancy Vests In Favor.

A number of the smartest suits now being made up show fancy vests, says the Dry Goods Economist. These are occasionally made separately, so that the suit can be worn with or without them, but the majority are attached to the coat, and it is expected that the latter style will be made popular than the separate vests. These vests are made of satin, broadcloth, velvet, moire, faille, brocade and other fancy silks. Some of the more elaborate are beautifully embroidered in the new Oriental colorings or in blending colors to match the garment.

Tales of GOTHAM and other CITIES

Expert Says Pies Always in Demand

NEW YORK.—SoL Robinski, who had taken Phil Breitenkopfs place at the Busy Bee’s pie counter, while Phil was up)in the Catskills on his vacation, said he had never heard, of Simple Simon and the pieman, b 6 that he could not go back to the very beginning of the history oi the pie industry. But Sol could glance backward from bis Ann street booth over a period of eleven and one-half yean of service in the making, carving and serving of fresh pies, and it was his opinion that, take it the year round, winter and summer, and all the rest, pie was about the best seller in Ann street. Sol even went so far as to gay that the pie eaters outnumbered the devotees of the ice cream cone and the hot waffles combined—that Is among the office boy connoisseurs of Ann street Which was a flat contradiction of the startling news which throbbed over the wires the other day from Chicago, that the American people were losing their taste for pie. As luck would have It, the Chicago canard reached Ann street just as the rush hour for pies—pies and other things, of course, like those luscious hot roasted frankfurters, those tempting one-cent ice cream cones, and

Cupid Halts Court While Lovers Wed

CHICAGO. —Cupid stole into Municipal Judge Dolan’s eourt the other afternoon, became bo noisy that he Interrupted the proceedings for a full half hour and finally forced the court to give him precedence over all legal matters. The court room was warm and a trial had been dragging along throughout the day. There had been a constant buzzing hoise in the rear of the room that was extremely disconcerting, but the court was unable to locate it. Finally' there was heard a sharp Bmack such as Judge Dolan was sure he had heard 'somewhere before. The buzzing continued and the judge’s eye finally rested on a couple on a bench in the rear of the room. They were casting loving glances and talking in animated tones and he watched them. Suddenly a , hand slid over and surreptitiously squeezed another smaller hand. There was a furious blush, another loving glance and every evidence of another impending smack. The judge could stand it no longer and looked for his trusty bailiff. He was not in evidence. Then the court rose in his might and said: “You two in the back of the court room will have to Btop talking. I can’t hear the witness. If you want

Fair Bathers and Big Rats Use Beach

EVANSTON, ILL.—Fair bathers and thousands of rats are contesting for the possession of the bathing beach between .Dempster street and Greenwood boulevard. Thus far the honors are about even in the Warfare which has been jfoing on for nearly a week. The rats have been unable to prevent the bathers from invading the beach, and the bathers have been unable to frighten away the rats. Where all the rats came from Is not known, but the fact remains that thousands of the rodents have burrowed into the sides of the hank along the beach, dug holes In the sand and sought refuge under the piers.

Fish Coal Out of the Susquehanna

PHILADELPHIA. —When coal Is needed on a Pennsylvania farm bordering the Susquehanna river, little Johnnie does not grab his coal hod and scoot for the cellar. Instead he unfastens his boat, pulls out into the river and fishes till his hod is overflowing. To be sore, Johnnie doesn’t fish with

rod and line, nor yet with a net. His apparatus consists of a wire scoop, shaped like a shoved and not dissimilar to a minnow net, with an eightfoot handle. And his boat is a broad, flat-bottomed affair, sometimes with sharp bows, built like a scow, with the maximum of capacity dnd the minimum of draught; lor the coal fisher’s catch Is usually made in shallow water. And the catch is unlike any coal you over saw. This run of the river coal comes in all sizes, from little flakes to chunks as big as your head. But mostly it is smaller than pea ooaL Coal

those tall, ambeivcolored glasses of one-cent orangeade, to mention only a few of the Busy Bee’s noontime delicacies. Sol Robinski said that tho right and the only man to see about this here pie question was Phil Breiten-i kopf, than whom there was no higher pleautbority in the whole city. "Phil’s the boy that can talk to you: about pie,” explained Sol. “That fellow is a regular whatyer call genius when It comes to knowing what kind of a pie It is before he cuts it. How does he know it? How can I tell you? If I knew, wouldn’t 1 do it myself?” Sol has a wide, all-round experience in Ann street and they say he Is the highest salaried man in the Busy Bee’s employ, but in the matter of pie he is not the equal of his old tutor, Phil Breltenkopf. “In hot weather, it is all pie, pie, pie. For three cents they get half a pie, and for two cents they get s glass of milk. Perhaps if they have more than five cents for lunch, y’understand, they blow it in on root beer or ice cream co-en, but first they must have pie and milk.” While he talked, Sol kept both hands working dishing out pids. There were all kinds. As Sol said, there was fresh apfel and huckleberry and custard and lemon meringk. All very fine. The boys would point to this kind or that, and Sol would bisect it with his long knife, balance tbe half on the fiat of the blade and pass a toothsome morsel out over the heads of the crowd, never once dropping tho pie or missing the right customer.

to spoon you will have to go outside. The court Is no place for It.” The hands slid apart and the man rose. “I beg your pardon, your honor,” he said. “We come in here to get married and were waiting for you to get through with the case. We didn’t come in here to spoon and we didn’t mean to, but we just couldn’t help It” The attorneys engaged in thei trial, W. M. Cook and Benjamin Samuels, at once moved that court take a recess that the ceremony might be performed. The Judge said that he would be only too happy to do so, and the principals at once retired to the Judge’s chambers, where Charles Hartung and Miss both of Chicago, were married, with the attorneys as witnesses. "Now that the case of Dan Cupid has been disposed of, we will resume the trial,” said Judge Dolan, again taking his seat on the bench.

Many bathers, while walking along the beach, have suddenly stepped into holes which the rats have dug, and have been filled With dismay when, with angry squeal, large gray and brown rats have turned and snapped at them. John J. Morgan, manager of a company which is. engaged in the work of exterminating vermin, stated that it was not an unusual thing for rats to take up their abode along the lake shores in summer. The hundreds of dead fish which are cast up by the waves, he said, attract the rats in large numbers. “The rats burrow in the sand, at the foot of the banks, ill large numbers,” said Mr. Morgan. "Then, too, the hot weather may have something to do with the condition. The rats will swim orut In the water In hot weather and will also make their homes in the wet Bands along the edge of the water.” The rats In many cases are extremely large and savage, and threaten to attack persoona who disturb them.

from the mines is bright and shiny and all angles that reflect the light River coal Is neither angular nor shiny. Every piece of it is worn down, buffed, rounded off like a beach pebble, with an exterior as dull as ground! glass. Ever since men began delving for coal the operator bas cast aside a* refuse thousands upon thousands of tons of good coal, flung it out on the culm heaps. What Is his loss Is the gain of the coal fishers in the river below. Into this stream, by way of its feeders, the mountain brooks, coal lg washed by the rains, which gnaw deep gullies In the faoss of the culm banks.
