' White Pique Outing Suit.
A stunning outing gown for m
mountain or seashore is made of white
.pique. Although this is rather a. warm
,material for hot weather it makes up
so charmingly, a suit of it is included
in nearly every‘ summer
wardrobe.
V; 51.3 L. ll 3
A white pique suit which is some-
what out of the ordinary has the skirt
made perfectly plain, with a stitched
band of the material at.the foot. The
jacket has a rounded efiect, coming
down over the hips and back in the
form of a basque. It is trimmed with
stitched bands. Worn over a. dainty
waist of pale pink or blue lawn, this
makes a decidedly jaunty suit.
A Simple Shirt \Vnist.
As the wardrobe of every woman
should contain at least eight or ten
shirt waists and as some new idea in
up.
A simple waist, suitable for gingham,
lawn, or any fine material, has the
back made'perfectly plain, without a
yoke. The material in front is laid in
fine pleats from the shoulders and
pouches slightly at the belt. The regu-
lation'shirt sleeves are finished at the
wrist with a narrowcuff. Stocks are
more fashionable than the standing
collar and are usually of white pique.
VA Tucked-Dress.
.Tucking Is so very popular this sea-
son, for gowns of every variety from
cloth to the- finest lawn, that quite of-
ten some singular effects are obtained
in the effort to be original. '
A gown which is striking for its or-
iginality, made of tan colored drap
date, has the skirt decorated with
three distinct groups of four tucks,
coming to a point in the front and
running up at the sides. The bodice
is made quite plain, with the tucks
arranged in precisely the same man-
ner as on the skirt, this mode of or-
namentation, also forms the trimming
on the small leg-o-mutton sleeves. '
Fifteen Thousand Violin‘ Makers,
The .only place in the worldwher
tute the industry is Markneukirchen,
in Saxony, with its numerous sur-
rounding villages. There are alto-
gether about 15,000 people in this dis-
trict engaged exclusively in the mantr-
facture of, violins. The inhabitants,
from the Small boy and girl to the
wrinkled, grey-headed veteran and
aged grandmother, are all constantly
employed making some part or other of
this musical instrument.
A Cure for Insomnia.
The lecturer on health had finished
his discourse and invited his auditors
to ask any questions they chose con-
cerning points that might seem to
need clearing up, when a. lean, skinny
man rose up and asked: ‘
“Professor, what do you do when
you can’t sleep at night?”
“I usually stay awake,” replied the
lecturer, “although, of course, every-
body should feel at liberty to do other-
wise if he chooses. Are there any
other questions?"
Per-Mug.
“Do you want my daughter for her
money or for herself?” demanded the
old gentleman.
“It’s this way,” stammered the
young man, as he tripped backwards
over the edge of the rug. “I want her
for myself and I want her money for
herself, and I want, both of them for
ourselves, and you certainly must un-
derstand.”
A Pansy Center Piece.
An effective centre-piece arrange-
ment at a recent dinner was a. low oval
mound of pansies. The centre was
made up of the palest yellow, almost
white, the flowers shading gradually
through deep yellow "into ruby purple,
and finally the darkest and richest
shade of that royal color for the ex-
treme fringe.

Cup Custard.
An agreeable variation of the cup-
custard is to flavor it with coffee in lieu
of chocolate _or vanila. The’proportion
is three table-spoonfuls 0f clear strong
coffee to every pint of milk and three

l'o Fire Hearts With Arch: of Patriotism
and the Love of Country.
Nothing so fires the youthful heart
with the ardor of patriotism and the
love of country as stories of adventure
by flood and field in defense of the
fatherland.
The "piping times of peace,” which
this nation has enjoyed during a third
of a century, made the American peo-
ple almost forget the gallant deeds of
their brave sailor boys in the days
when only wooden walls were between
them and the death—dealing missiles of
the enemy. Now that the lowering
brow of grim-visaged war once more
threatens the land, the petty struggle3
of political strife are cast aside and
the country again turns to its navy to
protect its shores from invasion and
its honor from insult. ‘
When the frigate United States was
lying in the harbor of Norfolk, some
time anterior to the war of 1812, a lit-
tle boy in petticoats was in the habit
of accompanying his mother, a poor
woman, who frequently visited the ship
to wash for some of the crew. The
lad, whose name was John Kreamer,
soon became a favorite with the sail.-
ors and it was determined by them, if
his mother would consent, to adopt him
as the ship’s mascot. War was sub-
sequently declared against Great Brit-
ain and the frigate sailed upon a
cruise, in which she captured the Mace-
donian.
proaching each other,_Commodore De-
catur noticed that little Jack appeared
anxious to speak to him. “What do,
you Want?” said Decatur. Jack cool-
ly answered that “he had come to ask
that his name might be eni'olled on the
“For what purpose?”
said the Commodore. “Because,” re-
plied Jack, “I want to draw my share
of the prize-money.” Decatur was
pleased with the boy’s confident expec-
tation of victory, and immediately gave
orders to have Jack’s name registered;
and when the prize-money allowed by
Congress was distributed the youngster .
receiver his share. After that he was
an object of special interest to the
(Commodore, and as soon as his age
linstified his application for a midship-
'man‘s warrant it was made' and
ipromptly complied with. Little Jack
was with Decatur in the President
when she was captured, and in, the
I Guerriere in the expedition to Algiers.

able, original deSIgns continue to crop with Commodore Stewart to the Pacific
Ocean. That was his last cruise, as
he' was upset from one of the ship’s
beats by a sudden squall in the harbor
of Valparaiso and sunk to the bottom
before any assistance cOuId be afford-
ed.
During the bombardment of Tripoli
Capt. Stephen Decatur boarded a Tri-
p'clitan gunboat to avenge the death
who had been treacherously shot by a.
Tripolitan commander. 0n boarding
‘ the enemy’s vessel Decatur attacked
the Tripolitan, who was armed. with
spear and cutlass. In the contest,
which for a time appeared doubtful, an
American sailor named Reuben James
saw a 'Tripolitan officer aim a blow at
Decatur’s head while the latter was
struggling with his opponent. The
blow would haVe proved fatal had not
the generous and fearless James, who
had been deprived of the use of both
his" hands by severe wounds, rushed
between the sabre and his commander
and received the blow on his own head,
by whichhis skull was badly fractured.
In the meantime Decatur. whose sword
had broken. at the hilt, seized his
enemy’s spear, and after a violent
struggle succeeded in throwing him to
the deck. The Turk now drew a dirk,
and when in theact of striking Decatur'
caught his arm, drew a pistol‘from his
pocket and shot him through the head.
Immediately after the declaration of
the last war with England Elbert An-
itcd Troy, where he purchased a large
quantity of provisions. The inspect-
ors .or the Government were Ebenezer
and Samuel Wilson. _ The latter was
more familiarly known as “Uncle
Sam,” and he superintended the work
in person. On this occasion a large
number of workmen were employed in
overhauling the provisions purchased
by the contractor for the army. The
casks were marked E. A., U. S. This
work fell to the lot of a facetious fellow
’ in the. employ of the Manors, Wilson,
who, on being asked by some of his fel-
low—workmen the meaning of the mark
(for the letters “U. S.” for United
States were then almost entirely new
to them), said “Uncle Sam” ~Wilson.
The joke took among the workmen,
and “Uncle Sam” himself being pres-
ent, he was occasionally rallied by
them on the increasing extent of his
possessions. Many of the workmen
soon followed. the recruiting drum to
the war, and their old joke on “Uncle
Sam” “Wilson accompanied them and
gained favor rapidly until “Uncle
Sam” was finally recognized as the
materialization, in name at least, of the
American Government. It was regard-
ed, even in those days, as very odd that
this silly joke, which originated in the
midst of beef, pork, pickle, salt and
other edibles, should be the foundation
of what eventually became the national
cognomen. '
