TAUS -V A BOD Y .r .?. 'V Advice Upon Money Matter?. Alwnys k?ep a supply of change on hand-half-dollars, quarters, dines and nickels. This will obviate keep ing people waiting for change and wasting your time or the time of others waiting till change be made. It will also help you to save many cents in the course of a week, especial ly if everything that comes to your home is paid for in ?ash. Many house wives object to thk method of keep ing change handy, because as soon as a bill ls "broken" lt goes without their knowing how or where. This is rather the fault of mismanagement than the consequence of keeping change. If money passes through other hands than your own before it ls finally paid it is time and trouble saved to have the exact change to band out-American iueen. Summer Sagcestlons* i Tucks will be ubiquitous. Undersleeves will hold their own. Plaids, as a rule, are things to shun. Heavy stitchings in many instances look like tucks at a short distance. Jabots will help out shirtwaists with more or less open jabots. Shaped taffeta strappings will finish scalloped edges. * Battlements will be a feature of sartorial architecture. Bodices buttoned or hooked up the back are gai ring favor. Breadth of the shoulders is being more acceuted. Nun's veiling, cashmere, foulard and crepe are talked of for occasions upon which wash dresses would be too light. Elbow puffs may make a sylph out of one girl, and a balloon of another. Pompadour silk is nearly always a lovely evening dress. . A cording of black will set off many a dashing dress of light foulard. Philadelphia Record. Well-broajrht-up rrlnc9iisrs. The Qneen of England, so long and lovingly known as the Princess of "Wales, or the "princess," has been very particular in bringing up her daughters, so as to secure for them good physical health. She. made the most of the time spent by the royal household in the highlands of Scot land. Here the young princesses were kept out of doors as much as possible, enjoying the fresh air in fair weather or in cloudy. A great part of the day was spent by them in loose-fitting dresses, with unstiff ened bodices, adapted for hill climbing. The princesses dressed for ^dinner I in conventional evening drj^pVffcrn over the whaleboned^^elet which some women wgjgr'flay in and day out, butJiABe^ve?ing hours of tight-fitting "clothing came at the end of a day spent in loose garments, which did not impede the b~eathing or the cir culation. This sensible regime of educating daughters with as much chance of fresh air exercise as would be given boys was insisted upon by Alexandria, now Queen of England.. A Novel Ten Gown. A becoming tea gown. In which one can lounge in luxurious armchairs after a day's sport or touring, is a most desirable addition to the ward robe, and an extremely pretty gown suitable for this purpose is made of soft broche silk in pale turquoise blue and biscuit color, and it is mounted on a lining of soft china silk or nun's veiling, which fits into the figure at the back, but has no darts in front, so the fullness is caught together by a lace belt. The yoke, which is trans parent and extends over the shoulders, is of biscuit colored tucked chiffon, with bands of ecru guipure lace insertion in between, and the collar and bands on the sleeves are of lace insertion, with frills of soft lace edging of the same becoming tint gathered into them. From the bottom of the yoke all around the shoulders hangs a frill of lace, and this is not carried quite to the centre of the front, but the ends are gathered and arranged in waterfall frills, which taper off and .end about 10 inches below the waist. If desired, the yoke could be lined with pale blue china silk to make it a little firmer, or a lining of cream or flesh colored silk might be used, if the contrast with the rest of the gown were desired without the transparency. The sleeves have close fitting linings of thin silk or nun's veiling to hold the full puff in position. Hair to Be Dressed Low Now. In Paris, whence the fashions come, the women are wearing their hair dressed low on the nape of the neck and it is predicted that before long the chignon will be back again. The proprietors of the bair-dressing estab lishments settled it. They held their annual meeting and dinner not long ago and decided that the low style of hair dressing should prevail. Each year in this way the lords of the brush and the curling tongs set the fashion in hair and usually their edict is obeyed till a year later they amend it and set a new standard. But this is in Paris. It is predicted by hair dressers here that it will be some time before American women who are devoted at present to wearing their hair high comply with the de cree. Whether the, hair is dressed high or low, however, it must be beau tifully waved and must be dressed with careless grace so that it may look as if it could be easily shaken down were the wearer to jump about very much. About this there will be no difficulty as the fashion bas beers, tending in that direction already. A new ribbon loop coiffure is being successfully Introduced by fashionable hairdressers and this ls how it is ar ranged: Wave the hair all around the head and gather lightly to the top, fastening with tape or string. Divide the hair into strands and form Into loops or puffs by doubling over the open hand and securing to the main fastening. Curl the ends and arrange around the loops, which may be made to stand upright or may be spread out in Alsatian effect.-New York Sun. Hints on Mourning Gowns. Mourning costumes of today are less exacting than formerly. The time was when a widow who wore a touch of white within a year of her adoption of black would have been regarded as unfit for social recognition. Now it is not unusual to see a touch of white chiffon at the throat, even in the earliest days of widowhood, and some times a whole vest of white chiffon is worn before the close of the first year. The materials chosen for mourning are more varied than has been cus tomery heretofore. Rough and smooth serges, vicunas, cashmeres, henriettas, cr?pons and nun's veilings all are correct and durable, and can be made available for general use after the period of conventional mourning is ended. The princess is a favorite mode of making gowns of this character for women of svelte and youthful figure, while the recently revived postilion basque is occasionally seen on women of more portly type. Dull finished ribbons are worn as sashes, and give a touch of the mourn ing aspect to any black gown. A ros ette with long ends attached to the corsage on the left, near the shoulder, is a pretty addition to an otherwise simple costume. A handsome gown made recently for a mourning wardrobe was cut with the new^princess skirt reaching to the bust line, and had a blouse of dull black taffeta. The coat was a bolero with stitched edges, and the fronts were elongated to permit of their being drawn through a Jct buckle and hang ing like sash ends nearly to the hem of the skirt Another costume was of zibeline, with the princess skirt, black crepe de chine pleated blouse and a bolero of Persian lamb. The toque was of black chiffon, with large rosettes. A I black fox boa and muff were the furs I ordered, and neck ruchings of black j silk edged with chenille were Included. While black fox is regarded as espe cially appropriate to deep mourning, broadtail and caracul also are used. When the mourning period has reached a term that admits of the ac ceptance of informal invitations for evening, black net is peculiarly fitting, and may be accompanied by either chiffon or ribbon for sash and cor sage bows. Made high over a low lin ing, with unlined sleeves, the effect is quietly elegant. Mr*. McKinley's Garden. It must be pleasant to be a lady of the White House as spring approaches, for she can look forward to the en jo)iment of one of the earliest and most beautiful gardens in the country. Mrs. McKinley's posy beds will then take on delicate hues of green and rose mauve and misty yellow; then the colors will deepen and the beds be jewelled with wide-opened blos soms, and by the middle of April the White House gardens will be brilliant and full of color as a Diaz picture. This effect is brought about by sys tem and order and foresight. In Oc tober the hyacinths, tulips, crocuses and narcissus bulbs are placed in the ground. Forget-me-nots, pansies, field daises and many other plants are t-*^*^-- These remain in the beds ter. aDd flower from the middle of March to the^d^dle of May^I^ajt?'j in April the summer""Tr!Wf??hg com mences, and continues until the close of May, by which time the cannas and geraniums and endless other va rieties of newcomers are installed in their summer home. During the fall planting at the White House there are placed in the ground more than 56,000 bulbs and fully 5000 plants, whereas in the spring 35,000 plants, embracing ,150 varieties, are set out. Surrounding the executive mansion are 55 flower beds of various sizes, and aggregat ing in area several acres. All of the beds must be shielded in winter by elaborate blanketings of protective ma teriel, and in the case of many of the beds precaution must always be taken lest they be washed out by the heavy 1 rainfall. It takes care and caution to make a president's garden. The work of peopling the half a hundred flower beds with their richly arrayed inhabitants is of itself a gi gantic task. All of the plants come from the great White House conserva tories, and at planting-time a dozen men are busy for a month or more? setting them out. There are placed in the ground each year more than 6000 tulips, embracing not less than half a hundred species, 2500 pansy plants, 2000 field daises, from 6000 to 8000 geraniums and other flowers in ; proportion. As an example of the in tr?cate planting introduced it may be stated that there are on the grounds two fancy flower beds, neither of them very large, in each of which there are j more than 5000 small plants. No wonder Mrs. McKinley has a lovely view from her window.-New York Commercial Advertiser. BENEFIT Hats still peroh at a dizzy angle. Blouses are to be prime favorites. Short boleros top off the princess dress. In striped materials the sleeves are often made crosswise. Skirt flounces are often tucked down a part of their depth. Elbow sleeves are bits of beauty which will be retained. Velvet ribbon put on in strap effect ornaments some gala gowns. Chambray will figure for shirtwaist suits. So will zephyr ginghams. Agullettes now tag strappings as well as the ends of ribbon bows. Fancy lace yokes often have an ef fective elongation in vest effect at the front. Clusters of tucks, three say, add much to the effectiveness of many a blouse, especially if they go 'round and 'round. Whether the undersleet'j is a mere puff at the wrist 6r shows all the way to the elbow is a mere matter of preference. One of the simplest yet most effec tive trimmings Is a row of narrow striped silk set In with tucks or : raid. The stripes go crosswise. French dressmakers seldom fail to add a touch of coral, or American beauty, or apple green, or turquoise, or violet, which ever suits best. For finer wear the thread lace tissues, St. Gaul tissues, embroidered pineapples, Swiss novelties and satin striped tissues will be much sought. English Language Spreading. One hundred years ago only 21,000, 000 people spoke the English language Now it is estimated that 130.000.000 of the inhabitants of the globe employ the English tongue in their dally busi ness. Florida people are going more and more into the small fruit and orange business. WHY HE WAS WORRIED. "Denr," said tho poet's wife, noticing his abstracted loo!i, "you arc worried about fioractbiag?"

Sabin, in Century. t. he Elephant S{o?ps. -i ' r One ol > most erroneous of the many qu<v- ideas which the layman has on tte questions of natural his tory is the one respecting the ele phant's mode of sleeping. Even the old schools of naturalists declared that the elephant has never b*ieh known to sleep except in a standing position. Of late, however, say within the last cen tury, it has been learned that tne er ror .came about by persons studying the habits of such beasts as had not been long in captivity. Such animals, when undergoing the process of domes tication, have been known to stand for 12, 18 or even 24 months without once lying down to sleep. This is regarded as a want of confidence in their keep ers, coupled with longing desire for liberty. When elephants are perfect ly at ease and reconciled to their fate, they will He down on their sides and sleep as all other beasts do. A Hear Aboajd Ship. "Bears make good pets," said Lieu tenant Clark. "When I was In the rev enue service at Alaska we had one on the boat and he made things hum. We named him Wineska. He used to climb to the crosstrees, going up hand over hand by the ratlins. One day he ven tured out on the yardarm, and there he stayed. We had to get a rope and haul bim down. Once he vaulted over the head of our Chinese cook and went into the locker, where he helped him self to sugar and butter. We had a tackling made for him, much the same, as a harness of a pet pug, and would drop him overboard, with a rope at tached, to take his bath. Once he; landed in a native boat and nearly frightened the occupants out of their wits. He was as playful as a kitten, and although sometimes he disobeyed he was never treacherous or unkind. . When he was lost or hid himself, as he often did, we would look in the dark till we saw two balls of fire. These were his eyes, and gave him away ev ery time."-New Orleans Picayune. A Noble Dog. A gentleman recently sold his villa just out side Paris to move into a flat ' within the city walls. On leaving the country he parted with his Danish boarhound, too big an animal for a Paris flat, to a gamekeeper of the dis trict. The new owner found the cost, of keeping so big a dog too great ?e decided to be rid of him. With thia idea he took the dog out in a boat-C the middle to the neighboring Marne, tied a stone to his neck and pushed him over. But the stone came untied, and the Dane swam after the boat Tho gamekeeper struck the poor dog with an oar, so that the water was dyed with blood; but still the Dane swam after the boat Enraged at his persis tency, the gamekeeper rose and swung his oar to strike the Dane again, so vi olently this time that he overbalanced and fell Into the water. The game keeper could not swim, and must have boen drowned, had not the noble Dane come to the rescue and held him up till he managed to clamber into the boat again. A revulsion of feeling took place. The gamekeeper bound up the wound in the dog's head, and he now says that death alone shall part him from his dog-Le Temps. A Doll Storr. When I was a little girl mamma gave me a large doll. This new doll was very pretty; for she had round, rosy cheeks, bright blue eyes, and black, curly hair-of course,- make-be lieve bair, for she had a china head and a kid body. My dolly, when mamma gave her to me, was dressed In a gown of lovely blue silk and a cunning white apron trimmed with lace; and upon her feet were some little black kid shoes, or "ankle-ties." Oh, how I loved dear pretty dolly! I could not think of a name nice enough for my precious china baby until one Saturday afternoon, when school did not keep, mamma took me to a "show," where I saw some "little people," pretty little dwarf people. I well remember Tom Thumb and La vinia Warren-a tiny grown up man and a tiny grown up woman, not much larger than good-sized dolls. On the way home, I said, "Oh, mamma, I am going to name my dolly Lavinia War ren!" Near the house where I lived when a little girl there was a stone wall; and I loved to go out there with Lavinia in my arms, and climb up and Blt on the wall, and look off at the fields of green grass and watch the little birds hopping about in the trees, and gaze up at the broad blue sky beyond the treetops. I was a very little girl, you know, and mamma often told me I was care less and forgetful. Therefore, I must have been naughty sometimes, and not have tried to remember to "hold on tight" to anything I had in my hands. I know you will say, "How could you have been so forgetful!" when I tell you that one day I dropped poor Lavinia Warren upon the wall, and her pretty pink face, with her blue eyes and black curly hair, was "smashed" on the stones! Oh, how I cried! I am to mamma, crying and sobbing, "La vinia Warren's broke!" Mamma took me in her lap, and said: "Don't cry, my little girl! Crying won't mend Lavinia's head." And then she took me by thc hand, and went with nie to the spot where headless Lavinia was lying. Her dear little kid arms and her little upturned feet, and her pretty face all scattered about her, caused me to cry more than ever. I shall never forget that sight Mamma bought me another dolly, but this new one had a wooden head. I was fond of her. Still, I never loved her as I did dear Lavinia Warren. But I have always remembered since that sad mishap, to "hold on tight." Mam ma said I would not forget again, jind Tho Storr of Dick, the Turtle. Dick's life is not all sleeping anti worm buntine- Every second day he bas a long swim in the bath, and he has certain social and domestic duties to perform which are very important When company ls expected Dick has to wear bis swellest garb, a broad crimson ribbon, which ls tied around his shell, and into a huge bow upon his back. So attired, be gravely marches about as if he considered himself no unimportant personage. When all the pets are "dressed up" with similar rib bons, the effect is very comical. Dick has to do bis share of the work, too; for this is insisted upon by a very young lady, whose coLnno-iida are not to be trifled with. She owns a small cart and a vague number of dolls, in cluding one springy rubber man. To the hinder edge of Dick's shell is affixed a ring-a solid gold one, by the way; for it rightly belongs to the stem of a certain watch. The cart bas a cord and a gold snap, which should be at the end of a watch chain I know of. This snap is fastened to the ring, the lady dolls are seated in the cart, the springy rubber man ls placed upou Dick's back, and hay!-away they all go for a 10-foot dash down the stone walk. This performance never fails to de light the young lady who owns the dolls, while Dick does not mind it in theieast. One terrible day-I almost shudder to think of it-the rain had left a pool about four inches deep at a low spot in the walk. Dick was hitched up to take bis party for its usual air ing; and lo! ''he yunned away," as the young lady put lt Away he went full gallop, straight for the pool. The par ty came near being drowned! So exciting was the work of rescue and the restoring to consciousness of the lady passengers that the rubber man was forgotten. Later, after the pool had been dragged and everything possible had been done, he was found in a thick growing plant, where Dick had left him a la Absalom. Dick for a time strove to make friends with the black turtle; but of late he has discovered bis own image _in a mirror which extends to the floor of the studio. He climbs up the carved moulding, and intently regards bis re flection for an hour at a time. Wheth er he fancies that he has found some captive maiden of his race or merely desires to be sociable, as other turtles are upon logs, I am not prepared to say. Taken up on his merits Dick is a harm less and most interesting pet He has already shown much more Intelligence and I should not be astonished if a few years of good treatment developed his faculties much further.-Our Ani . mal Friends. TWO LOUISIANA PEDLERS. Both S ii fie rod from Prejudice and Both Became Very Wealthy. k The careers of two remarkable ped I lers are recalled by the decision of the bpoli?? Jury of West Baton Rouge, La., to divert' the Poydras fund from its original purpose of providing trous seau and dowers for marriageable young girls, and to apply lt to the higher education of girls. These ped iera were Julien Poydras, who insti tuted the fund, and Leon Godchaux, who died some months ago the richest man in Louisiana and probably the largest sugar planter in the world. Both came from France. Poydras being a French Protestant, Godchaux -a French Jew. Both suffered from the prejudice that existed against ped iera. Their prejudice cost Poydras a bride and left bim a bachelor, to be queath his entire fortune to young girls and children. It brought God chaux an Insult which he never forgave and memory of which is preserved in the name of his plantation, "Sou venir." Poydras reached Louisiana while the colony was still under Spanish control. He had the misfortune to fall in love with the daughter of a rich planter. The match was declared to be Impos sible because he could not comply with the French system of dowry, which required the husband to pro vide a marriage portion; and also be cause of the more SOFIOUS objection presented by his calling, and so the girl married another suitor. Poydras never forgot ber. He pros pered and became one of the wealth iest men in Louisiana. When Louis iana became a part of the United States Poydras was sent as first dele gate from what was then the Terri tory of Orleans, now the state of Louis iana. Although the wealthiest man in the state, he lived in the simplest manner. When Louis Philippe came as a refu gee to Louisiana Poydras entertained him magnificently and even provided the future king of tho French with money, but his own room was as bare and destitute of luxury as a frontiers man's cabin. He refused to yield even when - death approached and died standing rather than take to his bed. His will showed that his first love was still dormant in his mind, although over 80 years. His fortune was divi ded into tr*o parts. One was devoted to providing dowers and trousseau for young girls, so that none of them should be prevented from marrying her sweetheart because of lack of money. The other half was devoted to the establishment of an orphan asy lum In New Orleans. Children of his own being denied him by his misfor tune in love, Poydras was one of the most devoted friends of the young. Soon after Poydras passed away God chaux arrived in New Orleans from France. As a pealar he had many rebuffs to face. In one place he was roughly handled, and the dogs set on him. He never forgot or forgave that indignity. When he became rich he secured possession of the plantation, where lt occurred and changed to "Souvenir" the name its Creole owner had bestowed upon lt.-New York Sun. H ti ii cry Exposition Visitor?. Those who were visitors to the Paris exposition will be Interested to learn a few telling facts and figures con cerning the meat which the French capital consumed dally on an average during the month of September, when, lt should be remembered, a larger number of visitors came to see the ex position than at any other time dur ing the summer. The slaughter house at Villette, which supplies Paris, dispatched dur ing the month a daily average of 5044 oxen, 1041 cows, 23.384 sheep, 3725 pigs, and 2099 calves. This compares 85 follows with the average daily re quirement at ordinary Mmes: Paris eats then 1210 oxen, 450 cows, 13,929 sheep, 4398 plgB, and 1425 calves. But, of course, it would be impossible for France alone to supply the stom ach of Paris with meat.
