By Helen Adair. The American woman is still du- gaining

bious about the full skirt. She refuses to take it seriously and insists upon compromises and correctly so making the most of every nation's best and rejecting the ugly features, And this why' she is called "the best dressed woman in the world." While the American women accept

the full bottomed skirt, she demands room gown I have illustrated is comclinging lines, and many devices are posed.

contrived to lessen the fulness around the hips, and preserve a somewhat clinging effect at that point. A straight front panel or breadth whose straight lines run quite to the waistband is frequently combined with a shallow shirred or corded yoke across hips and back. Lengthwise side plates, . stitched half way to the knee adapt themselves readily to the new skirt line, and horizontal skirt trimming retains its vo gue although, particularly in rich and heavy materials a perfectly plain skirt with no ornament save its long graceful folds is much in evidence. My illustration shows an excellent model in a lengthwise plaited skirt, made of deep blue silk krash, this model with its prettily plaited blouse while easily copied is distinctly up to date. The artistic negligee is rapidly STRONG MEDICINES are much more hurtful to health than they are beneficial. Aloes and red pepper put up in tablets and swalowed whips up the bowels, but does not heal them, and frequently make matters worse by causing piles. To attain natural bowel aetion, to strengthen the liver, to cure weak kidne3's, etc., use Vitona. No aggravating drug enters into its. composition. One sample bottle proves its merits. Alford Drug Co., agents. Jewelry nod Magic. Finger i ings, earrings, bracelets, brooches and otherarticles of personal adornment originated not from the aesthetic sense of our remote ancestors, but from their belief in magic. Even civilized men today sometimes entertain a superstitious regard for small stones'and pebbles of peculiar shape or color and carry them about as charms. The Greeks and Asiatics used stones, beads and crystals primarily as amulets and cut devices on them to enhance their magical power. The use of such stones as seals was secondary and may at. first have been for sacred purposes only. When a primitive people first find gold they value it only for its supposed magic and weur nuggets of it strung with beads. Derivations of Some Co nun on Words One remembers how on the loth of June, 121T, King John signed the great charter of the constitutional freedom of Britain and how after he had signed it he flung himself in a burst of fury on the floor and gnawed the straw and rushes with which the floors of those days were strewn. Now, what was "charta?" Originally nothing more or less than a sheet of papyrus strips glued together as writing paper. So it is to the Egyptian reed that we owe our "charters."

Its Modifications.

ground American ' women, and the room gowns made with the flowing sleeve effects are irresistable. Made of China or India Silk they are extremely pretty, and among the successful innovations for this use nothing equals the soft and I lustrous Peau de Crepe, of which, in a soft Du Barry rose, the charming This dainty conceit is made with the wide pagoda sleeve and deep fichu collar, giving the long shoulder effect. It falls in graceful folds from the bust line not too scant nor yet full enough to be clumsy. The entire gown is edged with Avide rather coarse thread ecru lace. And careful dressing "from the skin outward" is of the utmost importance with these garments. The day is passed for ill-litting under garments, and the corset must fit like a glove, and at the same time should be entirely comfortable. A propely cut corset, such as any one of the C-B a la Spirite models, insted of extending up to the breast bone and cramping the chest and its muscles, does not extend more than five inches above the waist line, leaving free the shoulders and chest, as well as the muscles of the diaphragm. A DOUBLE RESURRECTION. Each of tbe Generals Thought That the Other Was Dead. General Barlow of the Union army fell wounded and, it was thought, dying during the first day of the battle of Gettysburg and within the Confederate lines. General Gordon, cantering by, saw him and recognized him. Dismounting, he approached the prostrate man and inquired what he could do for him. "I am dying," said Barlow. "Just reach into my coat pocket, draw our the letter you find there and read it to me. It is from my wife." Gordon read the letter. "Now, general," said Barlow, "please destroy that letter. I want you to notify her she is in the town over yonder what has happened to me." "I will," replied Gordon. lie sent for Mrs. Barlow, giving her safe conduct through the southern lines, and then rode away, certain that Barlow's death was a question of only a few hours at most. But Barlow did not die. His wife came promptly and had him removed to the town of Gettysburg, where she nursed him so faithfully that he recovered. Many years passed until one night both generals were guests at a dinner in Washington. Some one brought them together and formally introduced them. Time, had altered the personal appearance of both. "Are you any relation to the General Barlow who was' killed at Gettysburg?" asked Gordon. "Yes; a very near relation," answered Barlow, with a laugh. "I am the very man who was killed. But I have been informed that a man named Gordon lost his life in battle later on. He saved my life at Gettysburg. Are you any kin to that man?" "I am he," was the reply. Both heroes laughed .as they gave each other a heartier handshake.Pittsburg Dispatch. IF YOU ARE WELL BRED You will try to make others happy. You will not be shy or self conscious.

FAMOUS FOR FAT.

Daniel Lambert, Who Died In 1809. Cot Too Obene to Wabble. The fame of Daniel Lambert as a champion anions fat men in England, if not in the world, still remains unrivaled. Daniel was born at Leicester in 1770 and died in 1800 nt Stamford. The grandson of a celebrated cockfighter and addicted to sport throughout his life, his dimensions were not extraordinary, and his habits were not different from those of other lads until he was fourteen years old When twenty-three years of age, however, he turned the scale at thirty-two stone, and, although h& is recorded to have been then able to walk from Woolwich to London, at the time of his death, in his fortieth year, he had attained the prodigious weight of fifty-two stone, or 728 pounds, and was more or les helpless, lie was a modest man, and when he had achieved physical greatness fame was thrust upon him. lie was for a long time unwilling to be made a show of, but he gained a more than local reputation, and people traveled from far to see him, resorting to variI ous devices in oruer to ue allowed to i'.o so. At length the prospect of profit overcame his resolution, and for four years before his death he exhibited himself in London and in the provinces. - He was apparently a man of some wit, for once, before he permitted the public to gaze upon him, an Inquisitive person had gained access to his presence by pretending to be a fellow sportsman interested in the pedigree of a mare, whereupon Lambert promptly replied, "She was bred by Impertinence out of Curiosity." Before the days of Daniel Lambert, Edward Bright of Maiden was a well known fat man, although his name no longer lingers as a household word. He died in 1750 at the age of thirty years, weighing fortytwo stone and seven pounds, and is stated to have been an active man till a year or two before his death, when his corpulency so overpowered his strength that his life was a burden and his death a deliverance. Both Bright and Lambert seem to have been genial, good humored fellows and very popular among those who visited them. Indeed popularity seems to be the lot of the corpulent in fact as well as in fiction. The heroes of fiction, however, have the advantage in the matter of lasting glory, and the names of Daniel Lambert and the fat boy of Peckham sink into insignificance beside those of Falstaff and the fat boy in "Pickwick." London Standard. Applied Science. When James Russell Lowell was minister to England, he was guest at a banquet at which one of the speakers was Sir Frederick Bramwell. Sir Frederick was to respond to the toast, "Applied Science." It was long after midnight when the toast was proposed, and several speakers were still to be called. Rising in his place, the scientist said: "At this hour of the night, or, rather, of the morning, my only interest in applied science is to apply the tip of the match to the side of the box upon which alone it ignites and to apply the flame so obtained to the wick of a bedroom candle." A moment later Lowell tossed a paper across the table to him bearing these two lines: Oh, brief Sir Frederick, would that all could catch Tour happy talent and supply your match! Youth's Companion. A Pair of Iier. Mr. and Miss Dancer were reputed the most notorious misers in the eighteenth century. The manner in which this couple were found after death to have disposed of their wealth was even more strange than could have been their method of acquiring it. The total value was 20,000, which was thus disposed of: Two thousand five hundred pounds was found under a dunghill, 500 in an old coat nailed to the manger in the stable, 1100 in notes was hidden away in an old teapot, the chimney yielded 2.000 stowed in nineteen different crevices, and several jugs filled with coin were secreted in the stable loft. England'H Mayna Charta. That shriveled parchment, the charter of English freedom, was saved, it is t?aid, by the veriest chance from the scissors of a merciless tailor. Struck by the great seals attached to a piece of paper the tailor was cutting up, Sir Robert Cotton stopped the man and gave him fourpence for the document he would have destroyed. It is now in the British museum, lined and mounted and in a glass case, the seal a shapeless mass of wax and the characters quite illegible. London Mail. Said Maid to Mistress. "Where have you been, Jane?" "I've been to a meeting of the Girls' Friendly society, ma'am," was the maid's reply. "Well, what did the lady say to you?" Tlease, ma'am, she said I wasn't to give you warning, as I meant to. She said I was to look upon you as my thorn and bear it." New Yorker. Willingness. "But would you die for me?" persisted the romantic maiden. "I would," replied the frank and elderly suitor. "Even now I am using a high priced preparation warranted to restore hair to its original color." Detroit Free Fress. That Mimical Ear.

HEROIC REMEDIES.

Whipping Warn I'rrarrlbrd at One Time For Insanity and Fit. Ill health is a bad thing at any time, but 150 years ago it was made inore terrible by the remedies In use. Bloodletting, of course, was a simple affair. A writer in Maemillan's Magazine says that everybody was bled twice a year in the spring and autumn. The barbers were the surgeons and, like wise men, adapted their prices to their patients. A gentleman who so indulged himtelf as to go to ImhI to be bled was charged half a crown and his fine lady half a sovereign. Certain days wen? unlucky for bloodletting, and nothing would induce the barbers to operate on these occasions. Serious diseases seem to have been beyond the medical skill of the day. Villages and towns simply drove out the infected from' their midst. Among remedies herbs of course played a great part. "For salves," runs an old notebook which had a great vogue, "the country parson's wifeseeks not the city and prefers her garden and fields before all outlandish gums." Sage was held a very great medicine. It was even asked in Latin, "Why should any one die who has sage in his garden?" If any one had a disease of the mouth, the Eighth Psalm should be read for three days, seven times on each day. As a remedy it was "sovereign." For Insanity or fits whipping was prescribed. Little wonder that mortality was great. In old days In Wessex, England, persons with infectious diseases were confined In the lockup, and whipping was deemed too good for them. Should the sick be loud in lament, the watchman kept them quiet by this popular discipline, and one town has upon its records, "Paid T. Hawkins for whipping two people that had the smallpox eightpenee." Fortunately the spirit of this age is different from that. THE SLEEPLESS ARCH." Old Hindoo Principle the DaiU of All Modern Bridget!. Although the building of great arches of masonry dates beyond the ancient Roman civilization, the principle that gives strength to the massive stone bridges of todaj is the same that built the bridges of the Roman empire. The history of bridge building is, to a large degree, the history of the arch, whose efficiency lies in the truth of the old Hindoo saying that "the arch nev?r sleeps" because each separate section of which it consists, beginning at the keystone, or central section, is constantly pushing against its immediate neighbors until the pressure finally reaches the firm foundation upon which the structure is erected. To secure a perfectly trustworthy foundation, therefore, the bridge builder has often to penetrate far below the surface of the earth, and not infrequently the part of his structure thus covered up and concealed is greater than that visible above ground. It was their inability to solve the problem of a trustworthy foundation that led the ancient Hindoos to distrust the arch, arguing that the sleepless activity that held it together was equally active in tearing it to pieces. Not only is the modern bridge builder skilled in setting his structure on a firm base, but thoroughly acquainted with the time honored materials for his work, to say nothing of new materials, and an important part of his student training in such modern schools as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is devoted to methods of testing materials during construction that would have surprised and delighted even the most accomplished of the ancient Roman engineers. Harrying? Up the Bahy. A correspondent sends us an extract from a poem which recently appeared in a South African paper, thinking we shall approve of its sentiments. Wo do, we do.

It was a pleasant looking Irishwoman, says the Philadelphia Ledger, who walked into a store and asked the price of the collars she had seen displayed In the window. "Two for a quarter," said the clerk. "How much would that be for one?" "Thirteen cents." She pondered; then, with her forefinger, she seemed to be making Invisible calculations on the sleeve of her coat "That." she said, "would make the other collar twilve cints, wouldn't it?
