In nearly all the accounts of fash ionable dressing in Paris and London we read of jokes, but the yokes of to day ure quite different to those of past eeasens. They are either quite nar row-merely a band across the upper portion of the neck, attached to a rounded drapery drooping over the arm-or they are wide enough to cover entirely the top of the bodice to tbe bust, the newest being a close-set white cord, braided in an important pattern. As the seasons grow the ornamentations of dresses are more garish. Gold spider net is covered with floral sprays in pearls, garnets and emeralds, and muslin is encrusted with diamonds or rhinestones, as well as with jet and pearls, sapphires, opals and opalescent shells.

It is one of women's chief charms. No ono cares for one who really lacks this essential to womanliness. Women have suffered fearfully because of over-sensitive ness bi this direc tion. They could n't say to the phy sician what they ought to say to someone. Mrs. . Pinkham has re , ceived ? the con fidence of thou sands. Women open 'theirhearts to her. She understands their suffering, and has the power to relieve and cure. In nearly all cases thc source of women's suffering is in the womb. In many cases the :zale physician does not understand the case and treats the patient for consumption-indigestion -anything but thc right thing. It is under such circumstances that thousands of women have turned tc Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., and opened their heart and lives-woman to woman-and received her help. Yon ask how she can tell if the doctor cannot ? Because no man living ever treated so many cases and possesses such vast expe: ience. Displacement, inflammation, torpid action, stagnation, sends to all parts of the body the pains that crush you. Lydia E. Pinkham's "Vegetable Compound"1 is the sure cure for this trouble. For twenty years it has done it? grand work and cured thousands. FBOM... s slight chafe rpo... x the worst old 20-years' case of Kczema.

Pupils b>*rJ mt r f?e;j ty in Cot <g* Uouie RUFUS W. SMITH, President THE TIME HY have you so per sistently avoided me ever rance-since well, since Lady Bar liston's garden party?" I inquired of Mis;. Windram co soon as I succeeded in elbowing my way through the dead wall of Airs. Bennett Wyse's guests who stood between us. The result ol a brief calculation, entered on the nest morning, was to convince me that, during the six minutes it took me playing the part of a pick, in or der to reach Miss Windram, I made as many enemies as I had made during the thirty years of my life preceding Mrs. Bennett Wyse's "At Home." "Have I avoided yon, Mr. Glyn!" she asked, opening her eyes very wide and (but this was doubtful) very in nocently. "The question is not if you have done it, but why you have done it," I said with soniM measure of severity. "Suppose I deny that that ia the question?" she suggested quite pleas antly, though without quite such a show of innocence as had been asso ciated with her previous inquiry. It is quite possible to speak pleasantly without any particular exuberance of innocence. "Suppose yon deny it? Well, in that caso you will have-have denied it," said I. "But it so happens that you won't deny it, Miss Wiudram." Tm not so sure of that. If any one would make it worth my whilo I might." "No one will mako it worth your while. There is nothing left tor yon but to speak the truth." "Great heavens! It is come to ' t that?" - I "Why have you avoided me? We 1 were good friends up to that day-1 j i have put a bine mark opposite that day in my diary." "Yes, we were good friends; good*] friends are those who have a sound quarrel every timo they meet, I sup pose?" "Precisely; friends whose friend ship is strong enough to survive a quarrel." "Did we quarrel that day?" "We ceitsinly did not. Where would society aa if a wail and a young woman quarrelled because, whrn he asked her-" "Is there any need for yon to teil! i every ono in this stifling room whit ; \ one problematically foolish young mau n asked a certainly idiotic young wo- ' e man?" I felt that there was something in her question. I had not, however, been epeaking louder than usual ; it only seemed so because of a sndden .momentary diminution in the volume of sound proceeding from tho 20.1 guests of airs.. Bennett Wyee, who had all been speaking at tho same moment. I tried to explain this to her; and then she asked mo what I thought of the Signora Duse as an interpreter of emotion as compared with Mme. Sarah Bernhardt, and if I held, that an actress who was an admirable expo nent of tho strongest emotions might be depended on to interpret the most powerful passions. "It is a nice question," I feltbouud to say. "Let us clear ont from this ruck and I think I'll be able to tell you all that I know regarding the higher ?motions. These people are not to be depended on ; ono min ute they are talking fortissimo ; tho next they are pianissimo." j t .Would von have them rehearsed,'t Mr. Glyn?" i ] "Well, a good deal might be done p by judicious stage management." ! < "And a conductor with an ivory-j baton? There's something in that, I 1 admit. Your idea is that they should 1 become forte when you are speaking, f so as to afford a sort of background f for your wisdom." "Wisdom? What man with the j least pretence to wisdom would come ! c into a crowd like this for the sake of j t talking to a girl who has persistently avoided him for tho past year and a month?" 'What man indeed?" 'And this brings us back to the original question. Why have jon so persistently avoided me !" I could see that she was a trifle put out by my persistence in returning to tho topio which ha l originated with me. She had apparently found some imperfection in the feather tips of ber fan, and thought that it would be un wise to neglect the opportunity of pulling off all the uneven fluffs. Some of them settled upon my waist coat, where I allowed them to repose undisturbed, a few made a bee line for the c&verous nostrils of our neighbor. General Firebrace. He sneezed with considerable force of character. "Wei), you see, so many things have happened since May the third last year, Mr. Glyn," said Miss Windram, when she had satisfied herself by the repeated opening and closing of her ian that she had remedied tho defect in its construction. "What things-in addition to your avoidance of me?" I asked. "Well, you have published a book to begin with. Isn't that something?" she said. "if we avoid all the peoplo who have published a book our circle of acquaintance would become appreci ably narrowed, Mis? Windram. Any thing else?" "Hasn't it gone into six editious?" she cried in a tone of accusation. "I don't deserve the blame for that," raid I, in a way that was meant i ' to show her that I felt the injustice of j ! her accusation. "Blame tho public, ? : if yen wish. The public are iavari-1 ably idiotic, the editor of the Universe j announced in connection with that j book of mir*?. He was right, though ; ', the inct that the public steadily re- j fused to bay tho Universe points in the other direction." "Oh, it's oil very irell to try and j throw the blame on the public," said ; Miss Windram with a shrug, "?mt is that quite g?nerons of von, Mr. ' Glyu?" "Perhaps tt isn't. Was it on ac count of the book von avoided me uo ' carefully?" "Oh, there were other things. The Geographical Society gave you a gold medal, didn't thoy?" "Tney were right there. The? couldn't-get out of it," "I dare say. That may be all very well, bat people who get gold medals conferred on them can't expect to be treated as ordinary people?" "I suppose yon are right. Bnt do they expect to be treated as ordinary people?" "That's qnite a side issue. I de sline to discuss it." "And that's all?" "All? all? Heavens! what did you expect?'' "Sense-that is, a moderate amount s?sense; reason-that ie, a modicum sf reason ; frankness, that is, a soup? ion of frankness. Supper? Oh, let them, go to-to supper." And she let them. We were left practically alone. "Are you engaged to any man for supper?" I asked of Miss Windram. "l'es,"she replied. I believed that [ detected a monrnfcl tone. If I had apt detected that note I would have left her side. I did not leave her side. "And I am engaged to 6omo wo nan. Lot us go to some plnoe togeth er, "said I.

I have not heard of an alli gator having been seen in Louisiana during the past three years, and it is very rare that the tourist through Florida obtains a glimpse of a saurian.

' Of all the stones for fair women the opal is, perhaps, the most beautiful. For a generation at least superstition declared it to be unlucky, but nowa clays such beliefs are little regarded, and this lovely and lustrous gem, with its milky whiteness aud flashes of colored fire, takes its due rank. MICHIGAN'S AMBITIOUS WOMEN. In Michigan, two towns, Decatui and Marcellus, seem to be under fem inine control. In the former town, with a population of 1500, all the town officers are said to be women. The leading pbjsician of tho town is a woman ; ono of the most popular pas tors is a woman. Two women conduct the principal restaurant. The pro prietor of the largest dry goods store is a woman ; ono of tho best shoemak ers is a woman, and there are women painters, harnessmakers, florists and brokers. The postmaster of the town is also a woman. The women havo shut up the saloons of the town. REASON FOR ABANDONING COR3ET?. Science has found still another rea .'on why women should abandon cor sets. It affects, however, only those of the fair sex who thirst for the higher education. At a certain young women's oollege it wa3 noticed that the delicate electrical instruments un derwent sudden and extraordinary changes. Every once in a while, when a girl came up to explain what she had learned about volts, ohm?, and tho like, galvanometers would gyrate wildly and the needles in the various dials would swerve in a most unaccountable manner. Finally the profe sor discovered where the Iron bio lay. It was tho steel in tho girl's corsets, and the faculty there upon passed a law debarring.all .cor seted girls from tho electrical depart ment. At first the girls tried to evade the rule by the utterance of mild tarradiddles. But the inexora ble professor circumvented them by making the olas?, as it entered, pass in singlo file beside a delicate galvano meter. Thc instructor stood beside it in apparent unconcern, bat the in strument "spotted" every* steel-cor seted girl with unerring skill. Ono lecture under the conditions* was enough, and the girls have all gone in for hygienic waists or dress reform, Argonaut. CYCLING FOR WOMEN. lu an article in the Nineteenth Con ley entitled "A Medical Yiew of Oy cling for Ladies," tho author, Dr. W. H. Fenton, indorses the exercise, as serting that it has done more to im prove the health of women than almost anything that.has ever been invested. "Let it at once bo said, an organi cally sound woman can "cycle with as much impunity as a man. Thank heaven, wo know now that this is not one more of the sexual problems of.tho day. Sex has nothing'to do with it, beyond the adaptation of machino to dress and dre?s to tho machiuo. Wo men are capable of great physical im provement where tho oppori unity, ex ists. Dress tven now heavily handi caps them. How fatiguing and dan gerous were heavy ' petticoats and flowing skirts in. cycling e? en a few yean ago the plucky pioneers alone pan tell us. 1 'inappropriate dress has !o^e:r-i?a?B number of chills to account fer. When fair practice has been made, and the ?hot stage,'so to speak, is ever, the feet, ankles, neck and arms get very cold when working up against wind. Gaiters or spats, high co!', ore and close-fitting sleeves meet tais diffi culty. Summer or winter, it is far safer to T.*ear warm, absorbent under clothing and avoid cotton. "The diseases of women take a front place in our social life ; but, if looked into, ninety per cent, of them are functional ailments, begotten of 'enui and lack of opportunity of , some means of working off their superflous muscular, nervous and orgunio .en ergy. The effect of cycling within the physioal capacity of a woman aots like a charm for gout, rheumatism and indigestion. Sleeplessness, eo-called 'nerves' and all those petty miseries for which the '.ver is so often mada the scape,"" .disappear iu the most extraor " . ry way with the i:resh air inhaled, and with the tissue destruc tion and reconstruction effectel by exercise and exhilaration. .The large abdominal muscles do little iu riding down hill or on level ground, but in hill climbing great strain is thrown upon them. There are many reasons why women should not overtax this group. Already thousands of women qualifying for general invalidism have been :ne3cued by cycling. Women aro very subject to varicose veins in the logs. Cycling often rids them of this trouble. A girl who has to stand for bo irs and hours serving behind a count ar gets relief untold from an evening tipia on her 'bike.' Her circulation hus been improved, and the arhes and pains which would hi>.ve ebort ly made an old woman of her have gone and a sense of exhilaration and relief has taken their place." FASHION NOTES. The belt slightly pointed front an 1 baokgivesa very much better figure than the perfectly round one. There was a chic little oap, beretta shaped, made of tho plaid goodu, with a twist of brown velvet and a quill, that goes with a golf costume. It must be more comfortable than the regulation alpine, that looks no per fectly absurd when tilted back irom tho forehead. Tho most popular bathing costume this season is mado of black or white serge or mohair, with fall skirt and knickerbockers, a fitted belt round waist with a deeply pointed yoke, fall sleeves that barely reach tho elbows, black stockings, and an oilskin cap covered with black or Tartan sarah. For visiting and similar occasions pale green straw is made into a high, narrow crown with very wide brim, which is veiled in white tulle, caught up on one side with a big rosette and three nodding black plumes.

When the Alaska steamers are get ting tow?rd Sitka they go through i passageway known ns Finlanson's Canal, and if they happen to pass a certain point in the daytime a most unusual-looking mountain can be seen, lt has been named tho "Bell-shaped Mountain," and a more appropriate cognomen could not be found. This peak, which has always been one of the sights for tourists, occupies a most unusual position. It is direct ly in the centre of tho channel, and when tho ?teamer is going northward reems to block further progress. For several miles before the mountain is roached thc passageway is not any too wide, and tho steep mountains come close to the water's edge on both sides. They seem to join the. lower portion of tho bell-shaped mountains and form ah impassable barrier across the road way. AB the steamer-^?-?oftdlt for the mountain it shows to the best advantage. Rising abiuptly'from the mirror liko surface of the water, it rear- its head abont 1000 feet toward the sky and reveals the most perfect symmetry in its outlin?e. Tho sides ?lope inward, aud on the top there is a little knoll, tho whole combination forming a perfect bell. If the mountain is seen in the early morning, when the steamer is about five miles away, it will appear sil houetted against tho sky. The edgos look clean and sharp cut, and it is hard to believe that it is not tho work of human hinds. It really looks like a monster bell placed in the channel. The sides of this mountain are cov ered with a thick growth of pine trees, and as tho steamer draws nearer it loses some of its peculiar appearance. The vessel keeps head on ns if to run it down, but wheu quite close makes a sharp tufn to port aud passes through a channel so narrow that it is possible fo throw a stone on the mountain from tho deck. The mountain is much longer than wide, and does not look thc least like a bell as soon as tho steamer has passed eo that it can bc seen over the stern.-San Franoisco 3un. _ Marvels to thc Natives. Dr. Gregory, ia exploring the lofty ranges of Mount Kenya in Africa, was accompanied by native followers from th" coast, to whom the frost and snow met with at great altitudes were inex plicable wonders, that could be attri buted only to magical agencies. "They came to tell me," writeB the traveler, "that the water they had left in their cooking-pots was all be witched. They said it was white, and would not shake; the adventurous Fundi had even hit it with a stick, which would not go in. They begged me to look at it, and I told them to bring it to me. They declined, how ever, to touch it, and implored me to go to it. The water, of course, had frozen solid. I handled tho ice and toid the men they were silly to be afraid of. it, for this change always came over wator on tho tops of high mountains. I put ono of the p *v on the tire, and predicted it would soon turn again into water. Tho men sat around and anxiously watched it; when it had melted they joyfully told me that the demon was expelled, and I told them they could now nse the water; but as soon as my back was turned they poured it awa}*, nud re tilled their pots from an adjoining brook." Battling Windows. To stop windows rattling on a windj night so as to insure sleep is often a puzzle, and few people realize that they have the remedy awaiting them on tho toilet table.

Its motive power is aeither steam nor electricity nor compressed air, but hot water under enormous pressure. This in stored iu supply boilers and then charged under the same pressure in the battery cylinders of the motor. Its great merit is said to be its cheap ness. Extensive plants are not re quired, and tho cars can be operatod on any t. ick. All that is necessary are a number of boiler-bouses along the road. Tho New York Central has had an experimental motor constructed, and 5 freight car has been fitted up as a boiler-house to supply it with power. In tho freight car aro two vertical boilers, the latter being eight feet in height and six feet in diameter. In the middle of the large boiler is a great copper coil. Two iron pipe3 project from the sido of the freight car and are connected with socket couplings to pipes in the motor car alongside. The hot water is run through these pipes into the motor car's battery cylinders, and then the motor is ready to start. Tho motor car has been pnt on the main traok of the company a number of times, has been run for five to ten minutes each time, and, it is said, a high speed has been attained. Chauncey Depcw, the President ol the New York Central, says tho new motor will bo used in the suburban servico of tho Grand Central if it proves to be the success predicted for it. The series of experiments started with it have not yet been finished, and the motor is therefore still an object of study and uncertainty, but some engineers believe that it will revolu tionize railroad locomotion. Autmiatic rishlug Po'. A Chicago genius was recent'^ granted a patent on an automatic fish ing rod. This great labor saving de vice consists of a rod and bolder cocked and poised upon a strong spring. In this position it may bo left upon tho shore by itself, after thc owner has baited tho hook and cast it into the water. When the fish seizes tho bait, the lug it gives tho line opens the trigger, and thc fish is jerked ashore and landed high and dry by the uncoiling of the spring. ThiB invention at once removes fish ing from tho liet of laborious occupa tion and makes it nothing but pas time. Largest Clock in Uerinnur.

Thi cb i mes eau be heard for two or thre< miles in every directiou. Importance of Noonday Appetite. Persons who keep dose watch upon themselves are of the opioion that the hour of noon is the most critical period ol! life. At that time the human frame undergoes serious changes. The stom ach bas dispatched the morning meal and sends scouting parties out in search of another. The eyes and brain are on the alert, and there is a sort of all-goneneBS pervading the an atomy tbat sharpens the faculties and puts a new edge on the teeth. It is nature's dining time, and everything about the healthy man or woman is at tuned to the domination of enjoyment of what is called a "good square meal." Those who pay heed to the prompting of nature at this divine hour have their reward in good appe tite, good temper and excellent diges tion,which is conducive to all the good that flesh is heir to. But those who, following the imperious dictates of fashion, defer the honr of dining until all natural longings are dead,and have to bo resurrected by adventorous aids, lay a train of evils and discomforts which sooner or later become the plegu? of their lives. It is a well known fact that the noon diners are healthier and stronger and have better chances for long life than olh.'re. Chicago Chronicle. Help Wained.

The dreadful hot wave that has hung over the country recently provea once more that, after all, man is the tough est creature in the animal kingdom. Hundreds of men have worked with horses recently to see the latter drop prostrated. Dogs, too, havo suffered dreadfully and often needlessly. Water, shale and rest are the three saving conditions for animals. Throegh some wrong-headed policy ia oar larger cities it would sometimes look as if there were a conspiracy to make these conditions as difficult as possible. New York has been within a year nearly denuded of ?halo (rees. The o?d-timo watering troughs have been largely removed. Teamsters who do not carry baskets on their cirts often compel their horses to wait for water uutil they are nearly choked. There are no shady resting places on the streets, tbs barns aro iii-ventilated oven?, and so upon occasions of exces sive heat the poor animals drop by scores. A veterinary surgeon esti mates that the mortality among work ing horses in New York during one week has been fully 80 per cont. A French Duel. "Are yon going to tho office?"
