CHILDREN'S WEAB.
ELABORATE COSTUMES ARE NOT GOOD TASTE.
Boys.
Children's fashions, to a limited ex tent, of course, are modified reproductions of the modes of their elders, and very quaint, too, is the effect of the large puffed sleeves, wide berthas and lace collars on their dainty little figures. It is one of the simplest things in dress to make little girls look pretty, for the more simple the gown the prettier they look in them. Elaborate costumes not in good taste. Inexpensive ging
DAINTY DRESSES FOB LITTLE GIRLS, hams, muslins, piques, cashmere, serges and the soft clinging crenons and india Bilks are the most desiraulo materials, bat very little trimming is required. So many changes aro necessary, however, thfit it is sometimes difficult to give their dresses variety in style and still hold to the cast iron rule of simplicity which is the secret of their success.
Numbered with other styles described in the New York Sun are blouse waists which are made long enough so that the fullness overhangs the belt and are very popular this season, and so becoming too. A pretty gown for a dressy one is made of yellow crepon, with two narrow ruffles edged with yellow ribbon around the skirt. The belt, basque, rovers, cuffs and collar aro of yellow silk, and lace insertion trims the revers.
Another dainty littlo dress of white India silk has a similar blouse effect, with a yellow crepe de chine vest and

An attractive little model for a simple wool gown has tho same blouse affect around tho waist, and a plain pointed yoke, finished with full revers, which extend over the sloeves. Rows of fancy wool braid of different widths mako the trimming. Yoke waists are always in stylo and so pretty it is hardly possible to go amiss in the use of this style, especially for wash dresses. Ginghams, trimmed with the new openwork embroidery, are very pretty when made this way.
The small l#y is rather an attractive Object in a quaint, little nailor cost-tune, which makes him appear older than ho really is, Tho blouse may be of silk, linen or cambric, but tho trousers must be long, to give him tho proper opinion rf his own size.
Covert coating in gray or drab is much used for two piece suits for boys. Jhese suits consist of a little coat or taokot, worn over a shirt waist, and CDEO trousers.
A Tolnt For Cnr«Iei» Players. Careless players often strike octaves ith the left hand where single Bass jjotos written. Theso single notes are Purposely written by the author to obtain bell-like sound and a more delicate undat ion tone for the harmonic super •trueture, and the coarser octave is out placo in such cases. Frana Liszt has a •articular dislike for this habit. An •thex aud worse practice is the striking other notes with an octave in the left, handful of notes, as it were, resent .Lng a grunt.

PIANOFORTE PLAYING.
The Sweeping Elastic Touch—How and When to Correct Mistakes. There are two extreme types of hand possessed by those who aspire to play the piano—first, hands stubborn, close webbed, chubby second, hands loose jointed, dangling, flaccid. It is not always an advantage to have the hands exceedingly loose. Between these two extremes there area hundred intermediate grades. A writer in The Etude says:
What we learn to do in playing the piano is to produce attitudes, measurements and motions, and in the highly complex automatic power which we develop it is imperative to offset contrasted exercises against each other. Thus I think it usually advisable to learn the sweeping elastic touch at the same time as the quiet hammer touch.
In reply to the query, Is it best to correct immediately when a mistake is made?" the same authority replies: That depends upon the importance of the mistake. If it comes from carelessness, by all means stop, and if necessary 10 times or 100 times, and do not allow the pupil to go one notch beyond that tone till it can be done correctly, for nearly all the mistakes that even great people mako arise from insufficient attention to that particular point. I have known many a pianist who blundered at esisy places, but played the difficult passages with faultless precision, simply because the mental illumination which produced tho musical photograph had not been equally distributed. Fight the mistako as the butter maker fights whey—drain it, squeeze it, draw it out in every way and give us a pure golden color. Now, on the other hand, it may chance tha* your pupil is constitutionally nervous and excitable that the nervos are not strong enough to carry the shock of electricity which tho mind sends out, and consequently the hands tremb'S and the fingers fly into the neighborhood of the keys, but are nearly always a little awry.
In that caso you will generally aggravate tho trouble by causing the pupil to be too self critical. If there is a disposition to be overconscious and oversensitive, compel your pupil to rush on in a regular wild English, or, still better, wild Irish, steeplechase. Jump five barred fences, leap ditches, tear, the way through thorny hedges—anything and everything—over stony ground, over field and fell and heather bloom, anything to arrive at the point designed. Such a pupil would be greatly benefit ^d by frequent drill in tho way of rough, agged playing.
A Novelty In Needlework.
Among novelties in needlework whioh take tho placo of tho familiar dotted daisy work are designs stamped with five rayed stars. By a few skillful stitches theso stars are converted into miniature ivy leaves, which dot tho oloth. A white linen tea cover scattered with these loaves and finished with four inch hem stitohed border in pale green is exceedingly effective. So also the blue patterns where the oloth is terod with palest blue cornflowers, mere dreamlike suggestions of the Ger man flower, and then bordered with four inch border of pale blue linen, This border may be put on the cloth with a heavy insertion of linen lace or simply with stitohes resembling drawn work.

lined damask in white or any of the rose colors in tho palest shades. The petals should bo edged with long and short buttonhole stitch and the veins outlined. The recurved edges should be worked solidly.
Berry Tart#.
Berry tarts aro made by lining small patty pans with rich crust and filling with raspberries, blackberries or whortleberries. Heap up high in the center sprinkle freely with powdered sugar wet the edges of the paste with ioe water lay on a thin crust of light puff paste press the edges together, and with a sharp knife trim off evenly press around the base of the fruit about a fourth of an inch from the edge of the pan, so as to push the fruit up in a cone in the center, when the juice will run wound the groove formed by pressing. Brush the crust of each tart over with ioe water and hake in a quick oven.
StrrnRthming Fwt*boartl Boxes. Everybody uses pasteboard boxes, and every one has been annoyed by their coming to pieces and spilling the con* teata at inopportune times. To prevent this, paste strips of cotton cloth over the comers and then cover the whole with glazed chintz inside and tie with oolored ribbon or tape.

To make raspberry water ioe mix a quart of black raspberry juice, a pint of ice water and a large cupful of sugar together add the juice of a lemon pour in a ft®ewer and freexe. £eat the whites of 3 eggs with 3 ounces of powdered sugar stir in the ioe and mix until perfectly smooth. Remove thedasher and set aside to mellow.
A SUCCESSFUL RAINMAKER.
How Clayton B. Jewell Coaxes Moistmre From Cloudless Skies.
Clayton B. Jewell of Kansas, who is figuring extensively in western Kansas and contiguous states as a successful coaxer of rain from cloudless skies, operates under the auspices of. the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad company, using a special car constructed for him by that company. The Pittsburg Dispatch tells the following interesting story of his work and methods:
Mr. Jewell said: "To*produce rain it is necessary to work with the laws of nature and strive to bring about the same .conditions that produce a natural storm. All rainstorms are caused by the meeting of warm and cold currents of air. When the cold air strikes the warm air, it naturally falls rapidly, being the heavier, thereby causing a vacuum into which the moisture in the atmosphhere rushes, making clouds and becoming a cloud center. It was to produce this condition that my efforts were directed, and I believe that I have discovered a gas that will do tho work. "At any rate, every time that I have sent it into the air in sufficient quantities a rainfall has followed. To manufacture this gas I use metallio sodium, ammonia, black oxide of manganese, caustic potash and aluminium. In combining these materials dangerous explosions are apt to occur, and in my preliminary experiments I had some narrow escapes. With these I also use an alloy known as murium, which I have manufactured for my use, |and which costs 15 cents per pound."
When rain is to be produced Mr. Jewell's car is run onto a side track. A hole 5 feet in diameter and about 8 feet deep is dug and connected with the car by a rubber hose, after which the top of the hole is covered by boards. Directly over the hole and on the top of the car is a tank filled with 800 gallons of water. Between the tank ^nd the edge of the car is a space of about a foot in width through which three pipes project 30 inches apart. On top of the tank is square box 24 inches long and 12 inches wide.
Inside the laboratory part of the car a wide shelf about two feet from the floor extends from one end to the other. On this are many curious looking bot ties and boxes said to contain the chem icalfe from which the rain producing gases are made. Under the shelf are large boxes, securely locked, which the young rainmaker declared were never opened in tho presence of any one. Above the shelf and near the top of the car is another shelf on which rests a 24 cell battery, besides an unusually large jar connected by wires with the battery. Thero are also wires connecting the battery with the rain machine proper, which consists of six large jars divided into groups of two each. In these jars the gas is made and released through the three pipes mentioned above, that project through the top of the car by the side of tho water tank.
No force is necessary to send the gas into the sky, as at the time it is re leased it is much lighter than the air. In escaping it makes little or no noise and is almost invisible, being of a light blue tinge. At the other end of the car is a pipe running down from the plank above and connecting with a large wooden vessel, which in turn is connected with another wooden vessel of similar pattern. The remainder of the laboratory is filled with pipes, bottles and other apparatus ordinarily found in a small laboratory. In the rainmalcing department of the Chicago, Rook Island and Pacific Railroad company there are three cars fitted up in the same manner, and they all operate at the same time a few miles apart. After showing the car Mr. Jewell proceeded: "When the rainmaking machine is in operation, 1,500 feet of gas escapes from each of the three pipes projecting from the top of the car every hour. When it is liberated, it is warm and ascends steadily. In four hours it has reached an altitude.of from 4,000 to 8,000 feet, depending upon tho conditions, altitude of the point of operation, vegetation aud humidity. After the lapse of a certain time it turns cold instantly and drops with a rush, creating a vacuum, into which the moisture contained in the air rushes, forming clouds, and they form the storm center.
When I have done this, I have accomplished all that is necessary, for nature will do the rest The size of the storm depends upon the velocity and direction of the wind, together with the temperature. I do not claim to be able to always produce rain at the point of operation, because the wiifd may carry it many miles away, but rain will surely fall in the direction the gases were carried. On a calm day rain should extend about 20 miles in each direction from the point of operation. A 10 mile wind will spread the rainfall 10 miles in one direction and about 50 miles in the direction it is blowing. In a 25 mile wind the area of the storm will be extended from 100 to 150 miles in one direction, and no rain foiling to windward of the point of operation and but a sprinkle at that point "While splendid success has attended my efforts so far, I will only require proper machinery to make rainfall almost instantly. I have completed a design for apparatus which I hope to have for next season's work that will accomplish this result With this I propose to send my gases up to tho required height by compressed air in liquid form inclosed in a shell, which, when it bursts, will release the liquid, spreading it in all directions, instantly forming a large volume of cold gas that will do more than the gases now sent up from tiie car by the present method in a much shorn* space of time "If this machine does what 1 feel certain it will do, rain cam be made to fall in the shortest possible space of time, I made S3 iraeowssful experiments iast year, and up to this time 19 experiment* this year. A teach of these rain was produced ranging from one-half to six iirche^and e&eh timet^t^aIytotbepredictions made by the weather service

STILL A SISTER TO HIM.
Although Annie Married Him, She Beftased 5''*' to Be a Wife. Simply a sister to him.
That is what Eugene P. File s^ys his wife has been to him since his marriage, and that alone. File is a leather finisher and foreman in the shops of McDermott & Howard in the eastern district of Brooklyn. For the reason given he has begun suit for the annulment of his marriage, which was celebrated eight, years ago.
Mrs. Moore keeps a boardiiig house at 225 Havemeyer street Her daughter Annie, known in the neighborhood as Miss Moore, is slender. Among the boarders is Mr. File, who now claims that he is known among Annie's friends as Mr. Moore, her brother. In short, although the marriage ceremony was performed between them Dec. 1, 1886, he declares under oath that the ceremony ended at the church door, and that since then Annie has refused to play the part of wife to him.
File says that out of a salary of $15 a week he has paid his mother-in-law $13 part of the time and $10 the other part for the board of himself and "Sister Annie."
A year or two ago, maddened by the circumstances by which he was surrounded, he left town. His wife persuaded him to return, but it was not to marital happiness, for his wife continued to be a sister to him, as before.
At last the husband-brother got one of the visiting cards of "Miss Annie Moore, 225 Havemeyer street" and paid a visit to Mr. Westlotorn and asked him for advice Papers were prepared and served upon the daughter.
The answering affidavit was to the effect thatAnnie had been his wife and lived with him as such until he left her and began proceedings. She asked the court that he be forced to pay her $10 a week and $300 counsel fees in order that she might defend the action. Justice Bartlett has signed an order directing the plaintiff to show cause why he should not put up the cash.—New York Journal.
SHE SHOPS, BUT PAYS NO BILLS.
Case of a Brooklyn Woman Who Indulges Her Mania to Others' Embarrassment.
*A curious mania has come to light recently in Brooklyn through the continued suffering of its indirect victims. A woman living in one of the pleasant residence portions of the city has been annoyed now for nearly three years by the persistent appearance at her house of delivery clerks from the well known shops with C. O. D. parcels for her number, but not her name. The packages are always addressed to Mrs. Horton, with the street and number of the woman who is not and never was Mrs. Horton, nor has any one of that name ever lived at the address indioated.
The parcels are always C. O. D. and are of various merchandise One afternoon last week a large basket of crockery, paoked in excelsior, was unpacked in her basement area, while the maid brought up to her mistress the C. O. D. bill. Notice has been given to different stores of tho transaction, and shopkeepers have been requested not to forward that combination of name, address and C. O. D. element, but at irregular intervals they continue to come, eluding the watchfulness of the delivery department Late at night and early in the morning these mysterious packages appear, and, though they are always promptly returned, there seems no way to stop them. The only plausible supposition is that the mythical "Mrs. Horton" has a mania for shopping that her purse does not afford means to satisfy, but which is thus relieved at the expense only of time and trouble to other persons.—New York Times.

Money may be tight, but it is nothing to SPALDING'S GLUK. That's the tightest thing out.
Another Italian Bank Scandal.
Another bank scandal is threatened in Italy which may put even the Banca Bomaua into the shade. The rumors of fraud, corruption and bribery, upon a huge scale, in connection with the Credit Mobilierc, which have long been current, have now taken a more concrete form, a group of shareholders having formally presented a petition to the tribunal at Turin, bringing the gravest charges against Sign or Frascasa, manager of that bank, and demanding a ju dicial inquiry. Should such an investigation be authorized astounding revelations will follow, for Frascasa is believed to have had in his pay some leading politicians in Rome, including ministers and one ex-premier and nearly every journalist of repute or influence in Borne, Turin, Florence, Naples and Venioe, spending millions of lire annually in subsidies and for concessions. —Borne Letter.
