?0 EVENING wnAx.
The Stmpleßt nncl at the Same Time
the Most Attractive Coivn That
Coaid He Designed.
Beautiful evening- toilettes do not
necessarily require expensive mate
rials for their construction, for there
are so many exceedingly cheap goods
out of which they can be made that
only the woman who “must have the
best of everything” turns to the heavy
silks, satins and velvets. i
Nine yards of nun’s veiling of any de
sired color, two yards of glace taffeta
and 12 yards of beautiful striped rib
bon about five inches wide can be
made into a gown that would be fitting
for a queen. At 25 cents a yard the
nun's veiling would' come to $2.25; at
50 cents a yard the glace taffeta would
be one dollar, and 12 yards of striped
ribbon at 15 cents and ten yards of silk
cambric at 12% cents a yard would
amount to $3.05 —thus making the
EVENING GOWN OF NUN’S VEILING,
whole outfit come to just a little over
six dollars —a sum which would not
pinch the average purse.
The skirt of the gown is made plait
und trimmed with two ruffles of the
glace taffeta and a double box-plaited
ribbon. This double-plaited ruffle is
one of the most popular skirt decora
tions and can easily be made by the
directions so frequently given in this
column.
The waist is very decollete and is
trimmed round and round with three
glace taffeta ruffles. There are no
sleeves, simply four-inch straps of the
striped ribbon finished with bows
made in the form of some fall or win
ter flower. i
WOMAN’S WORLD.
A French writer attributes the grace
of Spanish women to the fact that
many of them are taught fencing.
Mrs. Magdalene Thorsesen, the step
mother of Mrs. Ibsen, says that the au
thor’s wife is passionately fond of lit
erature, and has exerted a great in
fluence over him.
The czar has appointed the dowager
empress of Russia honorary colonel of
the Fereyaslav regiment of dragoons,
of which Emperor Alexander 111. was
colonel in chief.
Thera was lately graduated from
Grafton hail, an Episcopalian girls'
school in Fond du Lac, Wis., Miss Lois
Minnie Cornelius, an Oneida Indian,
who is a direct descendant of a long
line of chiefs, her grandfather having
been the celebrated Skenandore.
It is estimated that there are nearly
5,000,000 slf-supporting women in the
United States. Almost every branch
of work known has been taken up by
members of the gentler sex, and the
trades and professions show the work
ers to have acquired skill and ability
in the practice of their various callings.
On one occasion when Mrs. Glad
stone gave a dance the guests were
surprised to notice as the evening
went on that the masculine—or, at all
events, the bachelor—portion of the
community was conspicuous by its ab
sence. “Oh, dear!" exclaimed Mrs.
Gladstone, “I quite forgot to send out
the men’s invitations; they are all in a
bag under the sofa.”
POLITENESS OF THE MEXICANS
■— , ♦
"My lady, I am at your feet,” is the
prescribed form of salutation in Mexico
from a gentleman who meets a lady,
whereas if two gentlemen meet they
say: “I kiss your hand.”
A Mexican will never permit a lady
to descend the stairs alone: he takes
her by the hand or offers his arm and
only takes leave of her at the street
door.
Often in their rambles through Mex
ico strangers lose their way, and if they
have a slight knowledge of Spanish an
appeal to a native is certain to bring
courteous relief.
The Mexican lover calls his sweet
heart “the very eyes of me” and if she
rejects him he is likely to say: “Since
there is no help I bow before you, kiss
your feet and depart.”
Even the poor laborers rarely ad
dress one another without some terms
of endearment. “Como estas, mi alma?”
(“How are you, my soul?”) is a com
mon form of address.
An American young lady was once
talking with an old Mexican gentle
man and she laughingly said some
thing about having some literary work
to do. It was good to see the old fel
low's impressive manner as he ex
claimed: “Work! Miss, such lips as
yours should never mention work. You
should be a queen and wear pearls as
beautiful as those incased in your love
lv month!**

as colonel of the grenadiers, he drew
about $32,000 a year from the war office
as well.
ELECTRICITY AT WORK.
There are 165 miles of electric street
railway in Louisville, Ky.
In a short time practically all the
surface railways in New York city will
be operated on the underground trol
ley system.
Experiments made in Paris show
that an electric wagon costs 47 per
cent, less to run than a horse wagon
and 32 per cent, less than a petroleum
motor.
An English company has placed be
fore the Italian government a scheme
for building an electric railway over
the Great St. Bernard. The line would
be about 43 miles long, and start from

NOTES OF AND FOR WHEELMEN
During the present season the police
force of Cleveland has secured the re
turn of 120 out of 200 stolen wheels.
A very secure fixture for loose handle
bar grips is to melt some alum and ap
ply it to the end 6 in contact with the
tubes.
The road championships of Scotland
are no more. The farmers kicked, the
police interfered, and Mr. Scantly
Clad Hiterup has lost his occupation.
Road racing abroad, as well as here,
lives precariously.
Bicycles have made their way into
the British museum, the authorities
having established a cycle stable in the
basement, for as many as a hundred
cycles a day had been left unprotected
against the railings.
Cycle repairmen in small towns and
suburbs of cities will do well to post
themselves on electrical jobbing, elec
tric bells and electric wiring, such as
is required in private houses and
stores.
The Italian finance minister has is
sued a decree that the stamp on a cycle,
proving that the tax for it has been
paid, is good as passport for crossing
the frontier and returning without
paying import duty.
Prince Ourossof, the Russian ambas
sador in Paris, was stopped the other
day for furious riding, but when nsked
for his card the officer on reading it
repocketed his pencil and notebook,
promptly making profuse apologies.
HORSE TALK.
Sunlight and pure air are potent ele
ments in promoting health and vigor
in horses as well as other stock.
Generous feeding of the growing
colt will surely result in a larger and
smoother animal than if it is allowed
to grow up on the farm as best it can.
The horses used for plowing and get
ting out the corn and other work on
the farm will be as well off without
shoe's as with them. Try it.
If all grooms and herdsmen realized
the importance of their making them
selves agreeable to the stock they han
dle we would have fewer unruly, nerv
ous and worthless animals.
Since the time of the revolution
horses have been steadily increasing in
size. Mr. Wallace believes this to be
due to the importation of larger horses
from abroad for breeding purposes,
and selecting the largest of their
progeny to breed from.
At the time the first importations
were made from great Britain and Eu
ropean countries they weTe much
smaller than at the present time. Ac
cording to the evidence collected the
colonial horses of Virginia about 1750
were nearly all between 13 and 14
hands, and that for 100 years they had
retained the peculiarities of their Eng
lish ancestors of the reign of James I.
in color, size and gait.
MUTTON CHOPS.
(Both Rare and Well-Done.)
It pays to fuss with sheep.
Get the sheep sheds ready before the
sheep have to come in.
Sheep never do well when too closely
confined, even in winter.
Examine the feet of sheep. Keep
them clean. Clip off the toes and any
ragged horn.
Sheep will suffer more from cold
while their coats are wet in tlhe fail
than they will when covered with snow
in winter.
Some stockmen claim that four sheep
may profitably be pastured with every
jow and not materially injure the pas
ture for the cows.
Sheep running with cows seem to
look upon them as their protectors,
and will run for security to the cows
If dogs appear.
Early ewe lambs are the best when
a year old. They will breed earlierand
turn off heavier fleeces than late ones,
and are quite sure to winter better.
The number of sheep in this country
has fallen off 10,000,000 within five
years, ar.d yet we import more than
half the wool we use.—Farm Journal.

UNCOMFORTABLE THEATERS
There Are Ho Arrangements tor Per*
sonal Convenience in Paris
Play Bosses.
Playgoers who yield to the Induce
ments of the French stage when they
come over here will have learned long
ago from experience what genuine dis
comfort is suffered in theaters. Pa
risian managers cater admirably for
the public as far as the play and the
acting are concerned. When they
come to consider, however, the ques
tion of mere material comfort, it
would seem as if they felt in nowise
called upon to make allowances for
the weaknesses of the flesh. The trials
to which a playgoer is puit in an under
sized stall, with no available room for
his nether limbs, partake almost of
the rigor Of the monastic ordeals of
old. To such chastisement of the
flesh the Parisian playgoer has long
submitted uncomplainingly for the
sake of the edification provided for his
spirit from the stage. There are now
signs, however, that the worm will at
lust turn. Parisians have crossed the
channel, lolled in the ample armchairs
provided in your playhouses, and re
turned to grumble at the hardships
they hlTve to endure in their own.
Quite revolutionary measures of re
form are everywhere being proposed.
Why not do away with the three offi
cials enthroned behind a desk at the
door, who constitute the so-called
“controie,” and whose duties consist
in needlessly examining and punching
tickets at the expense of public pa
tience? It might even be feasible to
suppress the “ouvreuse,” who dam
ages hats and loses umbrellas in re
turn for a tip which she exacts and
grumbles at.
Besides a degree of material com
fort, playgoers expect within the
i bounds of possibility not to endanger
j their yves when they go to the theater.
. According to the committee of public
safety in theaters, now sitting, It
would, however, be unwise to place
| overmuch confidence in this respect in
the arrangements at present made in
some Parisian playhouses. The chair
man of the committee, M. Blanc, pre
fect of police, has accordingly drawn
up new sets of rules with regard to
public accommodation in theaters,
which aro to be stringently enforced.
Playgoers in Paris will be glad to bear
that in future boxes in theaters are to
be provided with doors of a sufficient
width to allow of easy ingress and exit,
and so arranged as not to block pas
sages when open. Furthermore, noth
ing Ir. the shape of stools or movable
seats will be allowed in the passages,
while that inconvenient invention, the
“strapontin,” which, besides being the
most uncomfortable seat ever pro
vided for a long-suffering public, en
dangers the lives of the audience
should panic occur, by effectually
blocking the openings between rows of
stalls, is to be done away with. In
time M. Blanc will no doubt succeed
in making Parisian playhouses both
safe and comfortable. It is a remark
able fact, however, considering how
extensively Parisians patronize . the
theater, that two such important im
provements for a playgoing public
should not have been accomplished be
fore now.—London Telegraph.
POCKETKNIVES FOR WOMEN.
This Acconat Says They All Have
Them and They Bay Them
for Themselves.
The tradition is—and maybe it was
true ever so long ago, when woman al
ways had a kitchen knife within easy
reach —that women have no use for
pocketknives. That is what man be
lieves to this day. He thinks that she
sharpens her lead pencils with her
teeth, opens her letters with a hair
pin, cuts string with scissors and bor
rows some man’s knife when there is
a can of potled ham or corned beef to
be opened at a picnic.
But nearly every woman has a pen
knife and finds plenty of use for it.
Usually she has bought it herself, for
she prefers that it shall not be a gift.
Any man who gives a woman a pen
knife will find himself regarded with
suspicion. It isn't that she is supersti
tious. Oh, no, of course she isn’t. She
will buy one for her husband or for
her son, but nevertheless she doesn’t
like to be given one, and will look
askance at the dainty little implement
unless she has paid the traditional
penny for it.
The jewelers carry in stock knives
for women, and r one of the merchants
said the other day that one-third of his
customers were women. This he ex
plained by the fact that a woman will
keep a knife three times as long as a
man will. Some of the knives they
carry in stock have handles
or decorations that raise their cost
from five to fifty dollars. Women
don’t buy such expensive ones —that
is, not from jewelers—although they i
often buy them from friends at the j
price of one cent —an astonishing bar- i
gain, indeed.
The popular knives for women are
tiny bits of knives, not so long as the
little finger, and sometimes not larger
than a finger joint. Some of these
dainty little knives have handles of
gold or silver studded with jewels.
Very often they have chatelaine at
tachments or are worn with other lit
tle articles on a chain. —Chicago Times-
Herald.

THE DREADED CONSUMPTION.
T. A. SLOCUM, M. C., THE GREAT CHEMIST
AND SCIENTIST, WILL SEND FREE, TO
THE AFFLICTED, THREE BOTTLES
OF HIS NEWLYDISCOVEREC REM
EDIES TO CURE CONSUMPTION
AND ALL LUNGTROUBLES.
Nothing could be fairer, more philan
thropic or carry more joy to the afflicted,
than the offer of T. A. Slocum, M. C., of
183 Pearl street, New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an ab
solute cure for consumption and all pul
monary complaints, and to make itsgreat
merits known, he will send, free, three
bottles of medicine, to any reader of The
Midland Journal who is suffering from
chest, bronchial, throat and lung troubles
or consumption.
Already this “new scientific course of
medicine” has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty—a duty which he owes to humanity
—to donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely, is enough to commend it,
and more so is the perfect confidence of
the great chemist making the proposition.
He has proved the dreaded consumption
to be a curable disease beyond any doubt,
There will be 110 mistake in sending—
the mistake will be in overlooking the
generous invitation. He has on file in his
American and European laboratories tes
timonials of experience from those cured,
in all parts of the world.

A Word With You:..
It is worth your while to give attention to some rea
sons why you should be a reader of The Piiiladlphia
Press.
The Press is the greatest home newspaper of the
United States. Its record of each day’s events, in all
parts of the world, is more complete than that of any
other paper. It has no space for sensationalism or any
thing tending to lower the moral tone.
No other Philadelphia paper has equal facilities for obtaining prompt
and accurate reports of newsevents, wherever they may occur. Reporters
for The Press are in every section of Philadelphia every day: special cor
respondents of The Prfs are stationed at every county seat anti important
town in Pennsylvania NVw Jersey. Delaware and Maryland, and at every
news center in the United States and the old world.
No other Philadelphia paper equals The Press in its
special departments—the woman’s page; the literary page;
the market page; the pages devoted to church news, school
news, society news, G. A. R. news, sporting news, etc.
The Press is an advocate of the principles of the
Republican party, but it prints the news of all political
events moro fully than any other paper; hence The Press
should he your paper, no matter what your political
opinions are, if you wish to be well informed. In a word,
The Philadelphia Press prints all the news all the time.
