~ &c. The Tailor- Mnde Gown. The new tailor made gowns are very feminine in appearance. The extreme mannish effect'has almost completely disappeared and only the style and neatness of cut remain to mark the old departure.,.;. 2:2. :.:..: ' .. 1’: ' A smart gown of dark green cloth has the skirt made penectly plain with the seams stitched. The jacket is a. natty affair opening at Pile top over a. yo'ke'of finely tucked green taffeta and turning back with two small rovers. The lower part of the jacket is tight fitting and meets in the center, orna- mented at the top with fancy cut steel buttons. The sleeves are close fitting. ______..____. How to Test the Oven. There are many methodsof ascer- taining the temperature of the oven without a thermometer, and the follow- ing, which was always resorted to by a very celebrated French cock, is cer- tainly a reliable one. Put half a sheet ' of white kitchen paper on the shelf of the oven on which the cake is to be placed, and shut the door. If at the end of five minutes the paper is char- red, the heat is too great. Cool the oven by leaving the door a little way open for a minute or two, and then test again with another sheet of paper. If it is dark brown after being in for five minutes, the oven is right for bak- ing small pastries and thin cakes. The temperature a ew degrees below this—— tested by 9; paces!" paper turning a light brown—Will be suitable for bak- ing ordinary pound-cakes, pie-crusts, When the paper turns only a dark yellow the heat is suitable for pastry, sponge-cake mixtures, and moringues. Colored statues. Tinted statues are among the latest things in the French artistic world. This is not, however, nearly so original as it appears at first sight, for excava- tions in the Acropolis at Athens have proved the fact that the Greeks em- ployed color in the treatment of mar- ble, just as it has always been known that they used gold for the adornment- of the statues of the Olympian deities. The modern French practice is, therefore, unquestionably a' return to the ideas of the pastmasters of the higher form of art. It does not. how- ever, by any means commend itself to a great number of modern sculptors, who regard the purity of the white col- or of the marble as essential to the production of the effect intended by the artist, and though here and there specimens may be found in our gal- -leries, the custom is unlikely to have a very extended practice. A Ridiculous Fashion. ' The ridiculous fashion of making the . edge of the dress skirt on the front and sides an inch or two longer than the height of the wearer grows apace. The train at the back ,is worrying, but it is quite possible to lift it with grace and keep it from the dust. , It is not so easy to dispose of undue length in front. To avoid an embarrassing stumble every now- and then, a certain very upright mode of gait is imperative—well , enough in a school, but rather prim and stiff in a physical-culture promen- ade, for the perpendicular has to be overdone in a manna: which in no way tends to grace of movement. Cremation in Norway. __ The Norwegian Parliament has pass- ed a law dealing with cremation. Ac- cording to the Act, every person over fifteen years of age can be cremated after death, if he or she has made a declaration in the presence of two wit- nesses. For those under fifteen a dec- laration on the part of the parents is necessary. The police, the medical registrar, and the doctors in attendance on the deceased have also to furnish written testimony as to- the cause of - death before a body can be incinerat- ed. Corn Gem’s. It is, perhaps, not generally known that gems may be made from frei-ih sweet corn as well as from Graham flour or corn meal. __Il‘o the grated pulp of about three ears of corn, 3. cup of milk, two eggs, well beaten, 9. little salt, and a cup and a half of flour may be added. The mixture is baked'in gem-pans for half an hour. The greatest distance that ashot has been fired is 'a few rods over 15 miles. which "was the range of Krupp’s well- ' known monster 130-ton steel gun, firing a shot which weighs over a ton and ‘a quarter. lint-.1... ,..... _ .. _.. .. . .J.,___.'| I. _ Simple Remedies for,Headaehol. _ Too little blood in the brain is a fre- quent cause of headache, and may be. recognized by the ache being on the top of the head, by constant dizziness, and by noises in the ears. The best cure is a‘slight stimulant, I-suchlaas strong tea or coffee or hot soup—any- thing wh9ch will increase the circula- tion. PeOple who suffer with these headaches should always sleep with their heads low. Too much blood in the brain will cause a splitting headache, which is felt all over-the head. The face be- comes flushed, the temples throb, and a strong light or a. noise will cause ex-. ’cruciating pain. These headaches are felt by people who have too much blood, those who worry ~by too much study. by too rich or irregular living. or gout. The sufferer is also often afilicted by palpitation and indigestion, and needs to be most careful. of the diet. _Meat should not be eaten more than once a day. Great relief will be found by sitting with the feet in mus- tard and water for a quarter of an hour. A neuralgic headache is most fre- quently felt across the forehead, and sometimes at the back of the head, and generally arises from cold caught in a bad tooth, which aflects the nerves on that side of the face. If the pain be in the forehead, relief may be ob- tained by placing a mustard-leaf for twenty minutes on the nape of the neck, or by the side of the eye iIISt over the temple. A piece of brown paper soaked in vinegar and sprinkled thickly with pepper. and laid over the painful spot, is a. homely, but some- times effective remedy. It should be kept on until the paper becomes dry, when it should be removed and ap- plied until the pain is relieved. Pre- cautions must be'taken not to ‘catch fresh cold after this. Another form of neuralgia com- mences with little specks dancing be. fore the eyes, the pain seeming to be confined to exactly. one half the head or face. A violent sickness usually accompanies this headache, but no re- lief is obtained by vomiting. water applications are the best for these attacks. Pour boiling water over a square of flannel and wring it out tightly in a towel to avoid scalding the hands; place it over the seat of the pain. Have ready another square of flannel and treat in the same way, and apply as soon as the first piece begins to get cold. Continue this pro- cess without ceasing until the pain is relieved. “fired Bows. Nothing-could he prettier or'more up- to-date to accompany a summer dance frock than a set of Louis XV wired bows, made like the accompanying sketch. No. 1 is to be set upright on the head in front of the soft Japanese knot of hair, which is the pretty fashion of the day; No. 2 to be worn as a breast knot,‘ and Nos. 3 and 4 for each shoulder- these also to be placed upright like the bow for the hair. To make these latest fashionable bows, wire ribbon is sewn on one-half of the velvet ribbon (black is most fashionable, but other colors may be used to match the gown if pre- ferred), and the other half folded over it and the two halves stitched together. The loops and. ends are then bent, as shown in the sketch. A Good Photograph. A photographer advised a young man sitting for his picture. who consulted him as to the suitable dress, not to wear a striped or spotted tie, one of plain dark color being preferable. A decided pattern becomes very monotone ous in a picture. A collar that was a becoming style was also recommended,” and a coat that fitted well, without so much regard to its newness. A further caution was to go into the studio at a moment of the day when one felt the best physically. “A young man came in here the other day,” said the same photographer, "and sat for his picture. Three or four proofs afterwards submit- ted to him he rejected, because, as he explained, they looked to him just as he felt at the time of sitting—awfully hungry. It seems that he had come "to the studio about two in the afternoon, without having eaten anything since a light and early breakfast, and his con- dition betrayed itself in his expression. I told him to try again after a satisfy- ing meal, and it is a fact that the sec- ond .picture scarcely looked like the same person.” ' Silk and Satin Coats. One of the season’s smart specialties is the black satin jacket They are made precisely like other jackets and are worn with everything. Taffeta silk and gros grain is also extensively em- ployed for these garments this year. A very stylish model of black taffeta ls-made quite long, reaching well be- low the hips, and is belted in at the waist with a band of the material. The material is cut at the shoulders to form small epaulets over the close-fitting sleeves. The jacket is cut low in the neck and opens all the way down the front. Silk embroidery forms the garniture. The latest dictate of fashion .is that- the summer girl's wardrobe is not complete unless she has at least sigh. teen shirtwaists. ‘ ‘T u n "av mm Hot ' Evening Gown for Girl. All dotted fabrics are fashionable this season, and will continue to be popular for evening gowns after the days grow too cool for donning thin afternoon frocks. . Pale pink organci'e, with white silk' dots, makes a charming and youthful evening gown for a young girl. The skirt is the fashionable sheath like model, trimmed with bouillones of the made round The blouse, and full, is cut with a square decol:€« tetage, outlined with a fall of fine lace. A girdle of black velvet encircles the waist and long white mousequataire gloves reach to the shoulders. material. Death in Ice Cream. We seem now to have reached the physiological moment when the matter of ice creams vended to children in the street by itinerant Italian confection- ers is to be seriously taken in hand. More than one inquest has been held upon the victims of the craving for this cheap rubbish, often poisonous owing to decomposition, and always swarming with microbes. In one case lately a verdict of “death from irri- tant poisoning” was rendered. The Paddington Vestry have now instruct- ed their medical officer of health to cause samples of ice cream and other similar insidious mixtures to be taken from itinerant vendors in the parish in order that they may be subjected to a chemical analysis, and have voted 3. sum of 25 guineas.to procure a bacter- iological examination also. Similar instructions have been given in Clerk- enwell and Holboru, and the chemical and bacteriological examinations are now in progress. It is hoped that should the results of these examina- tions be of such a nature as to give grounds for prosecution, the authori- ties will be able to proceed against the real offenders, for in many cases the persons who actually sell the ice creams from the barrows are only the agents of persons in a larger way of business—British Medical Journal. To Refresh Faded Flowers. Flowers which have been-so long without water that they are in a droop- ing condition, or that appear faded af- ter being picked only a day, usually revive with the following treatment: Cut the ends of the stalks and place them in a jug containing a small quantity of boiling water, and sprinkle the heads of the flowers with cold water. By the time the boiling water is cold the‘flowers should appear re- freshed; if, however, they are really withered it maybe necessary to place them in hot water a second time, but this is seldom required. The portion of the stalks which is discoloured from having touched the boiling water must be cut off, and the flowers may then be arranged in their respective vases, which should be filled with cold water. Changing the water in the vases every second day, and just nip- ping the stalks will prolong the life cf cut flowers. Hard to Answer, “Teacher, I cannot answer that question.” . “Robert, your reasons for this sun prising refusal to answer me! Did Thomas Jones throw that marble?” It was a thrilling moment. Across the desk the tall, powerful master glared sternly at the pale, determined face of the little fellow before him. From their seats the scholars watched the scene with bated breath. An in- vestigative youth in the back of the room dropped a pin, and was frighten- ed at the, noise it made. The big, green fly stopped buzzing against the window pane. The boughs of the old elm be- side the door ceased their rustling to" catch the brave boy’s answer. At last it came. The noble little fellow burst into tears: _ “I don’t want’to,” he sobbed,’ “’cause Tommy Jones says if I blab on him. he’ll lick de stufiin' outer ie‘" Trimmings for: Light Dresses. Tucking, milliners' folds, and rows of galloon or ribbon trim many of the new light-wool gowns for general wear.

It is due to this fact,coupled with neccessity, that such rapid strides have been made in mechanics and science. Curi- osity and investigation are necessary in every business. WithOut it failure is the inevitable result. Norwalk people are asked to investigate the following; It is asimple thing to do. The party interested is a South N orwalk citizen. He doesn’t live in Detroit or New York. Ask Chas. E. Warren, son of the well-known oyster planter, George N. Warren, of No. 2 Chestnut street, South Norwalk, if the following is not literally true. "‘I had backache and weak kidneys from early childhood. I tried all kinds of remed1es. but never received any permanent. benefit until I commenced using Doan’s Kidney Pills. My father had been using them, and was so pleased with the result that I was in- duced to try them. I am satisfied that they are all that is claimed for them. They cured my backache. I am glad to recommend them to anyone who suffered at times as I did. ” Glendening & 00., the druggists, have scores of customers who testify just. as emphatically about the results received from Dean’s Kidney Pills as Mr. Warren’s son.

Remember the name Doan and take no substitute. This is a Good One. That truth is stranger than fiction is illustrated by the following true forty years ago a boy was kicked by a horse. The physician attending the case found his skull was broken and out. Thinking to do the best he could and knowing it would not do to leave the place vacant, the doctor took some buckwheat flour, and making a thick batter, trephined the skull and filled the cavity. That boy lived and grew to be a man, weighs 250 pounds, and is as smart as most men. Living not far from Oakwood, he does business in Lapeer quite often and is all right. only once in a While that buckwheat batter‘will rise and then he is daft for a time. Surgical Wit: Al Boardman of Minneapolis was in Sioux City recently. ”He told a new story illustrating the envious rivalry between his town and St. Paul: An Irishman from St. Paul got hurt over at Minneapolis and was taken to one of the hospitals. His injuries were painful but not dangerous. How- ever, he felt sure that he would not survive, and he constantly walled to his surgeon: “Och, docthor, do somethin’ for me quick. I’m dyin’. I know I am. I’ll never see St. Paul alive.” “See St. Paul alive?” blurted out the surgeon. “You’ll die of old ago before anybody ever sees St. Paul alive.” And it made that Irishman so mad he wanted to thrash the doctor, and nobody heard any more wailing from, him, but he got out of the hospital at the earliest possible day.
